Got attracted to a message written at the back of a friend’s t-shirt: It is an insult to crocodiles when they are compared to unsavory characters like corrupt politicians, greedy businessmen and selfish athletes. - Crocodile Farming Institute, Palawan Satirical. But are the crocs better than the crooks? They are both cold-blooded. They are both predators. This can be a reason: Originally, the crooks were of the Homo Sapiens class, which are primates, but...
(HG Wells, When the Sleeper Wakes, p.7) Mr. Isbister is probably right. No amount of laborious physical work could lessen mental fatigue. Even when you tire out your body, the mind keeps on spinning. Therefore, cease straining your physical strength. Let your mind flow but not the body. You cannot do two things at a time. (Photo from here.) Are you hungry for sleep but cannot get one? Sometimes that happens to me. There...
I borrowed the title from one of the great and missed bloggers, AuroraBorealis, known as little teapot. These are actually, snippets of events. The Howling I had never experienced a howling gale. Last September 28, a few minutes after I had gone home (the company made sense finally letting us go home because of the typhoon), Milenyo was felt. Its winds angrily striked at any obstruction that came its way. What frightened me is...
Skin has many types. Some have skin types that can easily react to substances that come in contact with the skin. Reaction varies from itching to swelling of some parts or the entire body. A friend went to work last Saturday and told me that she has allergy. Allergy to what, I asked her. I saw that her face was red and the part around the eyes looked puffy. The previous night she applied...
Or it isn’t? As sequel to what I wrote in Sa Aming Wika, “Hayyy, Salamat sa Diyos!” I would like to reiterate that there is nothing wrong (socially, or culturally) when a woman conceives in her middle age. I had heard talks that it is shameful to be seen conceiving when a woman is already in her 40′s or 50′s. Contrary to other people’s belief, I do not see anything taboo when a woman...
My eyes always have that itchy feeling. Inspecting it with a mirror, I see one or two lashes which had fallen out and is/are pricking my eyeball/s causing the itch. From Paula’s Choice, there are reasons why lashes fall out: lashes shed and grow wiping off of make-up rubbing of the eyes overuse of mascara allergy to mascara consistent tugging using eye curlers noncosmetic allergies from allergens eye trauma eyelid infection eyelid cancer hypothyroidism...
WARNING: Topic is for adults. A septuagenarian boss showed me today a cut portion of a magazine with this question. In it were four individuals who gave their candid answers. I find one of the answers as very funny. “Yes, if both people are consenting adults. If Monica can do it with the President, why can’t the rest of the American public?” My answer is yes, and no, depending on the situation. I am...
I have been using Yahoo Messenger for some time now to send instant messages and to chat with friends. Before, it was so easy for me to join a room. The service is a few buttons away. Now I can not join a room and I receive notice that somewhat read like ‘you were signed out because you signed in on a different computer’. Then I will be disconnected. Honestly, I do not know...
Pardon me but I am what you call ignorant sometimes. I have been seeing the word meme when I saw these question-and-answer activities propagating the bloglandia but I do not really know what a meme is. I tried one time to find the word in the dictionary but there is none. And because I was busy (and I am still ’til now,) I was not able to surf the net about it. Only now....
My son approached his teacher the other day to tell her that a page of his book had answers already (The school allows students to use second-hand books). He did this to actually ask her what to do. Then unexpectedly his teacher ripped the page from the book and told him to do the same to all the pages with answers. I was outraged to learn of this and told him that his teacher...
