soo excited!! yet...

my home coming date is moved and its two days earlier na.. yeheey!! its because i might leave a bad impression of over staying, so instead of nov 1 it will be on october 30.. haayy its exactly 6 mos from now.. umm actually its a mixed emotion e, i know now im so excited of the fact that im going home for good but on the other side of the coin i will also be very sad that for what i will left in here.. but life has to moved on, i have to make a choice and i have to think of the future, life doesnt stop in here.. maybe something better may come along.. we never know.. anyway, all i have to do now is enjoy, work, and have a good time..


but i wonder who will picked me up at the airport, nanay and dadi will be very busy because of the occasion in manila "todos los santos" haaayy anyway, kuya marlon will always be a raliable one.. im so excited n talaga..

miSsinG hOme..

last fri was my late grandad's b-day and as usual everybody is present for a small get together, and again for the 3rd time i missed the occasion..here i am in england living alone and there they are having a good time..

thats what i miss back home, the birthdays get together, small family party, outings, over nights, road trips.. i miss my aunts that always treat us for something and my little cousins whom i play with and my nieces and nephews.. aaayy but like pam said "dont worry ate lapit kn uwi" yeah right but 6 months is still six months.. 6 pay days, 24 weeks, 168 days and 4,032 hours and 241,920 minutes... still a long time.. haaayy

i miss everyone na, lifestyle, friends, family, the street, the corners.. evrything!! but anyway.. ill have to make the best out of 6 months.. so see you all in 24 weeks, 4,032 hours and 241,920 minutes..

love you all and missing you much!

ingGit K laNg..

the other day somebody relay on me that a so-called friend tells that "im MagAstos, Thats y I cOuldNt save" ... oh i see!! so here i can tell them.. "im spending my own earnings and at least i dont have to borrow just to buy what i want".. maybe they just envy me and couldnt say anything good..

these is what with others, they tend to say anything about others people but when they heard somebody said anything about them, theyre too sensitive to accept it.. so better to keep your mouth shut so you wont cause any trouble and not be in trouble as well..

my lifestyle is just simple and i just buy what i can afford and at least with my small salary i still can save even a little.. i spend most of my money now with foods and fon cards.. nothing else cause as much as possible i want to save and go else where before i finally go home for good..

so with the big mouths, make it smaller and think a hundred times before you open it..

bReaKing uP

how does it feel to break up with somebody after years of being together?.. yeah, its painful and you still wish that there still hope and kept wondering if you could bring back the old times..


personally im a bit liberated as glenn tells me when it comes to that, when something wrong happened between the two of us, i do my part in saving it and make up for the lost time, in some situation i lower my pride but not to the extent of begging, for me kasi when i knew na ive done my part and nothing happened i just let it go.. i should respect myself first and still leave a litle love for myself.. and letting go doest mean na you stop loving the person its just you need to rebuild your life back, pick up the pieces and return your dignity that you lost along the way fighting for the man who once own your heart..


but i know its hard but you need to move on and be open to what comes ahead, dont completely shut your heart, it just needs sometime to heal.. para one day when you see each other again, youre alright na and you can face him with lots of confidence and not with bitterness..

haPPy biRthday ate jen!!

keEp sMiLing..

it was ate jens birthday last aprill 22, and she invited a small group of friends to join her celebrating one of the most important day of her life.

we really had fun, ciempre it wont be complete kung walang picture taking, *here in the U.K. filipinos are known for that, anywhere nagppapicture, kahit sa bin* :).. we really enjoyed posing, si ate lorna nga pose muna bago subuan uli si lorlaine, hehe.. buti maabilidad n ung bata.. jke!

si ate jen was one of those people who can call a friend, mabait, hindi pikon, at laging my baon, oh ate jen, miss ko n ung chicken curry mo and roast chicken with mang tomas.. hehe! naging close talaga kmi nito when the time na its only the two of us ,filipino's working during the day, we stood by each other, eventhough we're very tired, we dont have a choice, otherwise if you complain, you wont have a job tom.. so we opted to shut up and just carry on.. anyway all things will come to an end, but when is that?? that, we dont know..

speaking of ate jen, i really miss this gurl and i love her and i wish her a baby soon, te jen, youre not getting any younger and kumukunat kn.. hehe.. love you ate jen!! ingat..

broken friendship..

this past few days i kept on thinking about something that hapened recently, i dont know, I just dont feel good about it everytime it cross my mind, and i couldnt find any valid reason for somebody to feel that way towards me, i dont remember doing any harm against somebody, because as much as possible, i am carefull and very concious not to hurt somebody's feeling. . my best daes knows how i feel when somebody get mad at me and she knew how ill look like.. :(

but i just notice about myself na nagtatanim n ako ng galit ngaun, before whenever i get angry with someone, it just dissappear in a span of minute but now im holding grudges towards other maybe because i was hurt deeply and i just cant forgive what has been accused of me and what i heard that has been said towards me..

im not justifying my actions but i know havent done anything wrong and i can stand with each word i said.. and this time the wound it caused will leave a mark and will take ages to heal.. you cant blame me i just cant really accept what has been said.. im sorry..

last week round up..

• last week (april 14-20) was a quite busy week for me, got lots of duty, and i was surprised that they added another 12 hours of duty at manor and thanks to ate ethel kc she gave me extra hours in her work place.. yehey! thank you..
• after sunday night duty i headed for another job, (cleeaning) thanks God its not as hard as it may sound. i was dead tired in the afternoon so, i went to bed as soon as i got home.
• tuesday was a school day, nothing much happened really. i had an early night.
• wednesday i got an early duty at marwa and dinner with friends, sarap tinola!
• thursday and fri.. pahinga at pahinga.. not a good weather so i opted to stay in my crib and just watch dvd,tfc till i drop.
• weekends are busy as well, 3 night duty in a row and very tiring, every night we got a situation that needs monitoring.

there you go my busy and not so busy week. im happy and thankful that i got lots work shifts.. yipee, my pambayad n me ng house! : )

Is it her genes? Oldest known person turns 115 today

By RICK CALLAHAN, Associated Press WriterFri Apr 18, 7:24 PM ET

Maybe it was a lifetime of chores on the family farm that accounts for Edna Parker's long life. Or maybe just good genes explain why the world's oldest known person will turn 115 on Sunday, defying staggering odds.

Scientists who study longevity hope Parker and others who live to 110 or beyond — they're called supercentenarians — can help solve the mystery of extreme longevity.

"We don't know why she's lived so long," said Don Parker, her 59-year-old grandson. "But she's never been a worrier and she's always been a thin person, so maybe that has something to do with it."

On Friday, Edna Parker laughed and smiled as relatives and guests released 115 balloons into sunny skies outside her nursing home. Dressed in pearls, a blue and white polka dot dress and new white shoes, she clutched a red rose during the festivities.

Two years ago, researchers from the New England Centenarian Study at Boston University took a blood sample from Parker for the group's DNA database of supercentenarians.
Her DNA is now preserved with samples of about 100 other people who made the 110-year milestone and whose genes are being analyzed, said Dr. Tom Perls, an aging specialist who directs the project.

"They're really our best bet for finding the elusive Holy Grail of our field — which are these longevity-enabling genes," he said.

Only 75 living people — 64 women and 11 men — are 110 or older, according to the Gerontology Research Group of Inglewood, Calif., which verifies reports of extreme ages.

Parker, who was born April 20, 1893, was recognized by Guinness World Records as the oldest of that group last August after the death of a Japanese woman four months her senior.
A widow since her husband, Earl, died in 1938 of a heart attack, Parker lived alone in their farmhouse until age 100, when she moved into her son Clifford's home. She cheated death a few months later.

One winter night, Clifford and his wife returned home from a high school basketball game to find her missing. Don, their son, says he discovered his grandmother in the snowy darkness near the farm's apple orchard. He scooped up her rigid body and rushed back to the house.

"She was stiff as a 2-by-4. We really thought that was the end of her," he said.
But Parker recovered fully, suffering only frostbitten fingertips.

Fifteen years later, her room at the Heritage House Convalescent Center in Shelbyville, Ind., about 25 miles southeast of Indianapolis, is adorned with teddy bears and photos of her five grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren and 13 great-great grandchildren. She's outlived her two sons, Clifford and Earl Jr.

During a visit this week, Parker was captivated by a new album of photos and documents from her life that Don's wife, Charlene, had assembled.

"That's the boys," she said hoarsely, tapping a photo of her two late sons in their youth. "Clifford and Junior."

Her two sisters also are deceased. Georgia lived to be 99, while her sister Opal was 88 when she died.

Parker's long-lived sisters are typical of other centenarians, according to Dr. Nir Barzilai, director of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine's Institute for Aging Research in New York. Nearly all of them have a sister, mother or other relative who lived a long life, he said.

"Longevity is in the family history," Barzilai said.

He and other scientists have found several genetic mutations in centenarians that may play a role in either slowing the aging process or boosting resistance to age-related diseases.
Perls said the secret to a long life is now believed to be a mix of genetics and environmental factors such as health habits. He said his research on about 1,500 centenarians hints at another factor that may protect people from illnesses such as heart attacks and stroke — they appear not to dwell on stressful events.

"They seem to manage their stress better than the rest of us," he said.

friend-SHIP

ever wondered why they called it friend-ship. since this morning i kept on thinking the word. may be because when you became friends you got someone who will sail with you in lifes, storms, earthshakes and tragedy as well as in your lifes sweetest, funniest and luckiest moment.
lets see what each word mean:

friend-a person with whom one has a bond of mutual afection, an ally, a familiar or helpfull thing.

ship-a large boat for transporting people. It is a large vessel that floats on water.

So i come to a conclusion that are friends is the one saves us, transport us away from the dark side of the sea, the one who keep us floating from the flood of problems and from the sea of temptations..

so to all my friends, happy sailing and keep safe always! keep floating!
