Through the Rain to my cousin Posing for the mobile cam

Me lip synching "Through the Rain" by Mariah Carey. My cousin Aura voiced this one. So sleepy when we did this because we haven't had enough sleep before that night. It was my granny's wake yet we goofed around.

Sorry we're Closed!

Some "CLOSE" signs. Does that mean they're "not open"? or just simply "closer to something else"? I personally found these signs from different places. Filipinos are fond in using these "close" signs. In smaller "sari-sari" (variety) stores, the typical sign you'll see is this: "Sorry, we're close". If you let an American read that phrase, he'll never understand it for sure. He'll think that the store owner is "sorry because he's close to something else". And even i myself don't know what. Kidding.

"Close" sign at Rika Drugstore, Gusa

Another one found at Chowking Gaisano

The second photo shows a fastfood in Cagayan de Oro with their "close" sign. This is a big establishment and hires an educated supervisor or manager yet they don't even know the right word to use. Why do they ever forget the "D"? Because of lack of space of the board?

Dick Gordon for President!

Election is already this coming May 10. A monday. And yet i haven't chosen a president to elect. Many of my friends are very vocal in supporting their candidate. I, on the other hand, haven't campaigned one candidate - even for one senator. 

The presidential candidate im electing for this coming May 10th is Richard "Dick" Gordon. I may have not shown my support before because i don't want to show any bias information since im making blogs about the candidates. But this time around, im proud to say im supporting Dick Gordon.

Many people had commented that Gordon will not will this election because of the fact that he's not even reached the top 3 of the rank. Noynoy, according to them, will win. But Gordon, as a very positive-minded person thinks he still will win the race. But frankly saying, though i support him, i don't see the future of him winning this election. That's as far i am and the surveys are concern. Let's just get everything real.

I have here some reason why i want to elect Gordon as my President - not mentioning his credibility to run an office and his backgrounds (his opponents are nothing when compared to his).I got this points from his FACEBOOK page and since the platforrm is to long, i have to make it concise. His 5 Strategic Objectives are:

• Establishing Peace and Security
• Rooting out Graft and Corruption
• Mobilizing Government for National Modernization
• Managing the Economy for Growth and Global Competition
• Developing our Human Resources

He also included the important factor which is the health program.

• Extend free public health services to cover all citizens, especially in the rural areas.

• Increase the salaries of doctors and nurses in order to keep more of them in the country.

• Establish compulsory healthcare savings account for all Filipinos.

• Establish more Botika ng Barangay outlets nationwide.

• Promote responsible parenthood.

All these platform, when summarized, is to make our country a better place to live. That's why they got got their political party name, Bagumbayan, which means "a  new country".

"Isa po akong Psychology..." - Marian Rivera

The controversial Marian Rivera video on saying she's a "Psychology" on a Noynoy Aquino campaign. The video, which i think sometimes happen to most of us, is not supposed to be circulated and be made as a target of "pangungutya". Although we speak good English in the Philippines, it's still the second language so i don't think Marian Rivera deserves to be laughed at just because she missed saying "graduate".

There are even some famous people who fluently speaks English sometimes make mistakes. They're not even aware that they just did it. We're not perfect. The people who judge one's flaw sometimes are ten times worse. It just so happen that the incident was Marian's time. Our's hasn't come yet. As they say, there's a time for us. And i think that saying fits for what im trying to say.

Im not Marian Rivera's fan and i don't even support her. I stand for those who who were ridiculed and criticized for the "mistake" they unknowingly did. I hope this explains much.

Heat Stroke - Some Information

Heat Stroke or Hyperthermia happens when the body produces or absorbs more heat than it can dissipate.We lose water from our body daily sweat, tears, urine and stool. We replace this by drinking water and other fluids. Heat Stroke, since the temperature of the body rises when you experience this, is different from fever because the body temperature only rises from the body's set-point while Heat Stroke keeps the body's temperature rises uncontrollably. The opposite of Hyperthermia or Heat Stroke is Hypothermia which the body's temperature lower's uncontrollably.

Many cases of heat stroke are reported during summer since summer is the hottest season of the year. Especially now that we are experiencing Global Warming. In the Philippines, as a tropical country, summertime is from early March to May. That's the normal period of the summer season. However, now that we are experiencing climate change and we have global warming, summer seems to extend it's time and has even started it's season earlier than expected.

What are the symptoms of a person suffering from Heat Stroke? I have here some points from a certain website and this is very useful to detect one.

• thirst
• less-frequent urination
• dry skin
• fatigue
• light-headedness
• dizziness
• confusion
• dry mouth and mucous membranes
• increased heart rate and breathing

 Election period in the Philippines is during May and many cases of heat stroke have been reported especially those who do campaigns. Celebrity Kris Aquino, sister of the presidential candidate Noynoy Aquino, admitted she almost had heat stroke when she did a campaign for his brother. She immediately stopped her campaign because she already felt dizzy. An article from a newspaper also wrote that a pedicab driver fell dead on the street because of heat stroke. There's even one news that a cameraman who covered a news about heat stroke died after he felt dizzy and fell down. The cause? Heat Stroke.

How can Heat Stroke be treated? According to the article i read, Dehydration and Heat Stroke, the first aid to heat stroke is to drink lots of fluid to lower down the body's temperature. Observe the body until the temperature reaches down to at least the normal point.

But the question about heat stroke is; can we prevent heat stroke since we can't prevent today's global warming and today's weather condition is getting hotter and hotter everyday? The answer is, yes!

Here are some tips on how to prevent heat stroke especially now that's summer. Take a look.

• Drink plenty of fluids during outdoor activities, especially on hot days. Water and sports drinks are the drinks of choice; avoid tea, coffee, soda and alcohol as these can lead to dehydration.
  
  
• Wear lightweight, tightly woven, loose-fitting clothing in light colors.
  
  
• Schedule vigorous activity and sports for cooler times of the day.
  
  
• Protect yourself from the sun by wearing a hat, sunglasses and using an umbrella.
  
  
• Increase time spent outdoors gradually to get your body used to the heat.
  
  
• During outdoor activities, take frequent drink breaks and mist yourself with a spray bottle to avoid becoming overheated.
  
  
• Try to spend as much time indoors as possible on very hot and humid days.

Heat Stroke can be prevented if we do these tips. Some medical experts even suggest to do outdoor chores not during the peak of the day. You can do it instead during late afternoon like 3 pm because, according to them, 10 am to 3pm is the hottest time of the day.

Political Feud

When i arrived home from my weekly HD session this evening, i noticed a pamphlet  laid over the table and it seemed no one ever bothered reading it. I asked my mum about it and she told me to read it since she already did. Well, i asked her once again what it was but she just told me to read it and tell her what i think about the content. My mum, who always keeps me "hanging", made me curious about it.

The title says, "SI NOYNOY NA BA AT WALA NG IBA???" and with this alone, made me more curious and read the whole article. The article was, according to the texts was researched  and distributed by the former Congressman Rene P. Dragon, all bout Noynoy Aquino's being unfit to such presidential position. Every incapability was pointed out - one by one - by the author who published it on his Facebook account, Atty. Gary Tiongco, a graduate of UP college of law. Every detail he wrote, according to him, were of his opinion as a non-political persona. But as far as my knowledge in research is concern, i couldn't find the name Gary Tiongco or Atty. Gary Tiongco.

Frontpage of the booklet

Honestly, i got nearly convinced by the writings but then on the later part of the booklet, i read the name of Manny Villar. If i could just laugh so hard on what i just read, i would but then i had to keep it myself.

Who would ever believe on such  writings especially that the one who wrote is a supporter? Im not saying im Villar's supporter or Noynoy's. Neither of the two. What im actually pointing out here is this whole filthy political feud. It's even more pathetic that this whole "feud" touches up one's egos! Look at what was thrown at Noynoy's camp? It was his alleged psychological report saying he underwent great depression and psychiatric treatment. And to Manny? Well, every possible "evil" thing and that he didn't really "come from a poor family".

Somebody from facebook sent me a picture of Baby James Yap showing his "dirty fingers". I can't say how genuine the picture is or how fake it is but what i know is this whole situation especially during election just made me feel so sad about our country. Imagine, you include a kid just to ruin one's credibility? Again, im not saying all these as a supporter. Im mainly saying these as a concerned citizen. If these are the kind of attitudes our future leaders are showing us even before they're yet on the position, how much more if already elected?

Baby James' "Dirty Finger"

This whole "political feud" during election seems so normal already to most people. Political gimmicks, scandals, bribery, vote-buying (there's even flying-voters!), name it, our country has it. We boast our country as the only Catholic country (majority) in Asia but we have the dirtiest election and that doesn't show the Christianity in us.

This coming May 10th, i pray for a VERY peaceful and successful 1st AUTOMATED ELECTION in the country's history! Let not others dictate us who to elect. Let's be vigilant to guard our vote. Remember, every vote counts.

Whatever will happen to Gordon?

Funny how Dick Gordon plays with the comedians Moymoy Palaboy. The latter duo are vocal about their support to Gordon.

I tried to find, or shall i say i searched all over the web, the funny moments of Dick but to my frustration, i only found this.

This video of the presidential candidate making fun as he does lipsynching.

Here is a video below on what was a then interview by Karen Davila, a reporter from ABS-CBN showing Gordon's hot-temperedness.

After Karen Davila read one of the viewer's comments saying that Gordon is good but has no chance of winning, he showed his color and said he's going to sue the survey companies (SWS and Pulse Asia).

Many commented on Gordon's hot-temperedness especially that he's still running for the office. Many said that if he shows an attitude like what he's showing on the video, how much more if he runs the country? What will happen to the country? 

I think i remember, if im not mistaken that there was one time when i heard the news featuring him saying that he's a dictator wayback Subic. So apt for his name, "Dicktator". Many former colleagues of the presidential bet commented to that - on national TV!

But Dick Gordon's supporters do not allow such nonsense. They're not voting for the person's attitude, they reason, but the person's good governance - and that's what they see from him.

Noynoy's psychological report

This issue on Noynoy Aquino's psychological report made a big noise on the world of politics and of course to the whole of blogosphere. Just as today, as i read the morning paper, the headline says about the alleged psychological report and also about the candidate's refusal to a certain psych examination.

It was said that the NP or Nacionalista Party led by his great rival on today's election, Manny Villar made up all these. Which, of course was denied by the latter group.

Many articles about the the alleged brouhaha were circulated and shared all over the internet. I happened to receive one document regarding Noynoy's highschool years in Ateneo. It was a letter which happens to have the author anonymous. I asked the source about the letter's author but he denied. He told me, as we spoke on Facebook:

With this response, i gave my utmost respect.

Im not saying im an anti-Noynoy (although i admit im not a supporter) the reason i make this entry. What i just wanted to say and know is all about the headline from the newspaper. Yes, they defended Noynoy saying it's all but fake. But why does Mr. Aquino refused himself to such test? If they don't hide anything from us, voters, we might be able to choose the rightful president - a psychologically-normal one.

I read an article from the philstar.com website saying that Aquino "was the “victim” of malicious and bogus psychiatric reports and must not be the one to suffer by being pressed to take a psychiatric examination."

He also said that, "If we bite what is wrong, an established false, we want to make that which is false a reality. Are we not the persons who should be undergoing treatment?"

It was also said that Aquino underwent a psychiatric test while staying at Boston, accoding to the writer Carmen Pedrosa.

We understand Mr. Aquino's right to refusal in submitting himself to such test but for the sake of the Filipino people who will vote for him this coming May 10th (since he always tops the mock elections and surveys), it's better if he do the psych test. Seven of the presidential candidates agreed and submitted themselves to a test but only Mr. Aquino refused. Nothing will lose if everything he said is true, right? That would only makes the voters think twice if this continues to be a mystery.
