Update :)

Nakuha ko na kahapon ang pinakamamahal kong red-ribboned HS TOR, diploma, at certificate of graduation. Ang tagal namin sa DFA, which is somewhere in Baclaran (yata?) na. Bagong building na super lamig. E ang suot ko medyo manipis na blouse kasi mainit sa biyahe. O di kamusta naman na ako nung nasa loob ako ng DFA? Hahaha. Wow!

Tapos pinadala ko na rin siya sa DHL para mapatatakan na nila sa UAE embassy, kasama yung PRC license ko. Ang mahal! Umabot ng halos Php4k yung lahat ng yun. UAE embassy seal lang yun a. Gawa ba sa ginto yun? Ayun. 7 working days daw, excluding weekends. Kaya this coming monday pa ang start. At least may nangyayari naman na.

Nanonood pala ako ng American Idol Season 9. Hindi ko pa sila lahat masyado kilala kasi I just started watching this week. I have a few favorites na rin naman at isa rito ay si Alex Lambert. This guy is just so shy lalo na last week. Pero etong performance niyang ito, wow. Superb! Hehe. Siya ang bet kong mananalo this season. :) Pustahan?

At hindi ka ba naman matunaw sa tuwing ifo-focused siya ng camera?

Aside from Dingdong Dantes and Victor Basa, eto ang lalakeng nakakakilig panoorin para sa akin.. hehe

A tribute to Rosanna Roces

... NOT!

I am not a fan of Rosanna but I like her before. Admit it. She still looks good in TV despite of her figure. She is brutally frank and just true to herself. But sometimes, she really goes too far.

(I know maybe to some people this issue is a week late especially to those in the Philippines, but I would just like to say my piece) Last week, she was a guest judge in Showtime, a noontime talent/variety show in ABSCBN. She made a nasty comment about teachers (which is totally out of the context) which made MTRCB suspend the said show.

Rosanna Roces comments on teachers goes like this :

“Murahin mo teacher mo ha, ako minura ko nung hindi nya nasagot sa akin yan. Walanghiya yang mga teacher na yan hindi sinasagot ang totoo sa atin eh.”

“Kayong mga kabataan huwag kayong makokontento sa itinuturo ng libro at ng teacher, magtatanong po kayo hindi masama iyon. Dahil ang mga teachers they were just repeaters. Itinuturo nila kung ano yung tinuro sa kanila, hindi na nila itinuturo kung anong gustong malaman ng mga bata.”

IMO...

I experienced having terror teachers, teachers who don’t know what they’re talking about, teachers who think they know everything (but actually they don’t), comical teachers who never earned their students’ respect, weird and out of this world teachers. But as what Vice Ganda said, teachers, as a human being, also make mistakes. I also had teachers who are very intelligent and passionate about their profession. I will be forever grateful to them for imparting their knowledge and for being our surrogate parents in school.

Special shout-out to my most favorite teachers all through-out my school life (Sorry if I’ve forgotten your complete names! Haha)

Ms. Racquel V. Quimba (adviser/Math teacher, 1st grade), Ms. Reyes (Math teacher, 2nd year highschool), Ms. Panganiban (Filipino teacher, 4th year highschool), Sir Origenes (Psychology/Social studies professor, 1st and 4th year college), Ma'am Rouena Villarama (Pediatrics professor/clinical instructor), Ma'am Elizabeth Jurado (Pediatrics professor/clinical instructor), Ma'am Delia Llanes (OB-Gyne Professor), and to Ma'am Cortez (Skills Lab/Fundamentals in Nursing professor/clinical instructor) who never failed to scold me everyday of our Nursing duty! Hahaha.

Thank you very much my dear Ma'ams and Sir! :)

PS: I salute Vice Ganda for standing up againts the nasty remarks of Osang. I am also one of Vice Ganda's fans in facebook! Hahaha.

And I hope MTRCB will resume the airing of Showtime as soon as possible. It is a very nice and entertaining show. Lots of people all over the world are watching it. It is not the network nor the show's mistake that Osang made that comment. Please be fair MTRCB.

Anti-stress buster :)

I've been going through a tough time but one thing that really makes me happy the whole day? watching PBB double up in Pinoychannel.tv! hahaha. I really love the housemates and of course, I'm a certified Melason fan! (Di ba, Aubrey? hehe)

Since I'm a fan of them in facebook, I saw this video. This is Jason and Melissa's funny themesong. Mahal kita kasi sang by Nicole Hyala (a DJ in Love Radio). It's really a corny song so if you're not into these kind of things, well, just don't play it. But for those of you who are fun-loving, hopeless romantic, and jologs as I am, then go. This is for us! Haha Enjoy! :)

My favorite line was: Apoy ka ba? Kasi (kasi)... alab alab... alabyu!!! :)

I don't know about you but if a boy sings this to me, he would really sweep me off my feet!

Go Bayani!

"Paano po ba maging isang bayani?" How will you be a hero?

Efren Penaflorida asked that question via VTR last night in Isang Tanong, a GMA 7 Presidential forum which includes: Sen. Manuel Villar, Sen. Noynoy Aquino, Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro, Ex-pres. Joseph Estrada, JILC Leader Bro. Eddie Villanueva, MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando, Olongapo Councilor John Carlos Delos Reyes, and activist Nicanor Perlas (note: this is random, not by favoritism).

Of course, all of them said something about helping the poor by giving livelihood projects, and the like. You know, the same old statements we usually hear every election. But Bayani Fernando answered that question in a comical way.

He said, "Kapag pinangalanan ka ng tatay mo." When your father gave you that name (Bayani).

----------------------------------------------

Speaking of Efren Penaflorida, he just gave another honor for our country for being the CNN hero of the year 2009. Hurray!

CNN - Efren Penaflorida, who started a "puschart classroom" in the Philippines (Cavite) to bring education to poor children as an alternative to gang membership, has been named the 2009 CNN Hero of the year.


All of the viewers' comments in youtube were all positive except for this one, which I think is very true:

so sad that CNN recognized Efren's good deeds first instead of the government. I'm sure in no time politicians will be riding his popularity. - crewsnest

PS: Sorry if I always misspelled Efren's surname in this entry, but I'm really having difficulty in typing Alt 1-6-4 all at once. :)

Ice, ice baby

During only this year, a lot of people died from cancer. Because of that, I became a bit paranoid of whether I would suffer from the same kind of disease when the time comes. Call me paranoid but hey, it's just a thought! We don't really know what's bound to happen. In fact, there are some people I know who have a healthy lifestyle, no family history of cancer, but they died due to the said disease.

But somehow, there might be already a cure for cancer.

I watched The Correspondents last night and they featured Cryosurgery as a means of curing cancer. Karen Davila went to Fuda Cancer Hospital in Guangzhou, China which is actually becoming popular because of the method they're using in treating cancer. Based on the documentary, there are more or less 5,000 people all over the world who are now cancer-free because of them.

Chemotherapy and radiation are the most popular method we know in terms of treating cancer. Since both are not used localized, they have wide-variety of side effects. Chemotherapy can be administered through a vein, injected into a body cavity, or can be used orally. It destroys cancer cells as well as our fast-growing cells, such as hair and blood cells. With radiation, a large machine called simulator delivers the exact amount of radiation to kill the cancer cells in a certain area. The skin around it may be reddened or irritated after the treatment. Also, radiation therapy can kill the germ-fighting cells in the blood, thereby decreasing the person's body to fight off infections, and making it necessary for the patient to have blood transfusion.

In Cryosurgery, they use a localized probe in contact with the tumor, causing the cells to freeze. The tumor is frozen, thawed, and refrozen until the malignant cells are completely destroyed. This process is monitored with ultrasound in order to preserve as much nearby healthy tissue as possible.

(using cryosurgery in treating liver cancer)

People they interviewed includes some Filipinos who are actually admitted in that hospital for series of cryosurgery treatment. One even claimed that only for 5 weeks, she was already cancer-free. The brother of Sen. Guingona also gave a testimony that after a series of chemotherapy in Manila which didn't work for him, Fuda Cancer Hospital gave him a second life.

Isn't that amazing?! Finally, a cure for cancer!

Only, you have to travel all the way to China and spend more or less Php 1,000,000! But I think it's worth it considering you also have to spend that much for chemotherapy, plus the side effects it could give you and the non-assurance that you would be cancer-free after the treatment.

I just hope after a few years, cancer patients don't have to travel to China anymore because we already have cryosurgery here in the Philippines.

PBB double up love affair

I have been hooked on Pinoy Big Brother double up since it started. I have always been an avid fan of this reality show. For me, this season is a lot better than the earlier seasons because I like the combination of personalities of almost all the housemates, except for Jimson (hehe). Good thing he already got evicted.

But what intrigued me the most was the love team of Princess and Tom. At first, I find them corny and unrealistic. I really don't believe that you can feel something special towards a stranger, or perhaps someone you just recently met in that short span of time. Sure, you can find each other physically attractive and maybe can develop into a crush or infatuation. But something deeper than that? Nah.

So Princess left Big Brother's house last Sunday and was not able to bid goodbye to Tom since he was on the other house. She was on PBB uber this afternoon and Big Brother gave her a chance to talk to Tom who was on the confession room at that time. I was a bit nauseated by the sight of them because I know it will be another cheesy moment. But for some weird reasons, I got emotionally affected just by watching them. I don't know if the feeling they have for each other is already strong enough to be considered as "love", but the video was very touching. I cried after watching this! :)

Can't wait to watch it on primetime later! :)

PS: I also don't like Mariel, Yhel, Yuri, and Delio. I hope they'll be evicted soon! Haha
