Thoughts:

falling in love again after a failed relationship is a sign of maturity. it means you realized that life is comprised of ups and downs and falling inlove is one of the highs and falling out of love or a break up is one of the downs. But even then…life just go on. cry when u must and move on.

I was thinking id be a very busy person yesterday because of a move to another home but i guess that is to happen next week yet.  So instead of just sleeping my time away and join a crowd waiting for the final result of the Cotto-Pacman fight, i spent an hour in the gym.  I alternately spend time in the tread mill and in the stationary bike.  Then for my last 5 minutes, i spent it in the air walking.

After knowing the result, i went home to pack some of the things to be moved and then went to the city for a pedicure because i got a new color for the nails.

So, please allow me to share with you a several  Sundays away photos.  Photos my daughter took while we were traveling to Dapitan City.

- my daughter took the camera from me and went away. when she came back, she brought with her several nice photos. she just love it up in the deck with bright sun and the wind beside the NO ENTER sign. -

- i think she nicely captured this using the zoom because they were so far.  I wonder what these guys were talking about. hmmm -

- a remembrance shot of her at Oroqueta City boulevard during a stop for lunch. It was really sunny that i let her cover her head.

My first carousel ride! Ever!

I was sort of nostalgic making the carousel ride last weekend. Why?  It’s because when i was still a little girl, i’ve seen and read carousel rides in books and i have always wish that one day I will be able to ride it.

In 1996, someone invited me to ride it at Ayala Center in Cebu City but did not make it because i was alone.  I felt corny to ride it with a boyfriend.  I was with a bf but my mind was on my friends when we enter the game park at that place. So i missed the ride in 1996.

Last year, i have watched the whole series of Stairway to Heaven and again their was a fantasy land and the carousel ride was a memorable ride for the main character of the tv series.  I said one day – one day, am gonna be on it!

Last Sunday evening (November 1), my wish came true!  We spent the night at Gloria’s Fantasy land in Dapitan City.  It was like a mini-Disneyland and i then know there’s a carousel ride somewhere inside the park.  When i saw it, believe me, i was the first one on it and  i just called the kids  and my daughter later. lol!  I made three rides.

I missed the ride in 1996.  I was still single.  Thirteen years later, my wish came true and it was a ride made with my daughter.   I  just love the moment.

With the swine flu cases escalating and people being afraid to do the things they usually do, what precautions do you do to protect yourself and your family?

From my nook of the country or the world, swine flu is only in the newspaper and in TV.   The scare has not yet literally hit us but i know that people are taking their own precautions.

The swine flu this time makes me recall my memories of SARS.  So i think what we did that time can still be applied to what is happening now.

I really don’t think that swine flu virus is airborne or else fatalities would have gone up in millions in the span of time since the news of a carrier and death came out.    So too much anxiety would be unnecessary.  Everyone should just be sure on keeping themselves maintain their good health so that resistance won’t go down that will cause them to easily catch any virus be it H1N1 or not.

Here’s my share of protection:

1.  Eat healthy foods.  Eat more on fruits and vegetables especially the ones rich in vitamin C.  If possible avoid meats the meantime.  If can’t be avoided then cook them very well.

2.  Maintain  good hygiene.  If you living in a neighborhood who does not practice good hygiene, orient them, wether they like it or not or if possible get away from the place.  Good hygiene means taking a bath daily or everytime you came back from outside.

During the SARS, the clothes we wear for the day is not used again unless washed.  OUr footwears are not brought into the inner part of the house.  In the evening we spray the shoe area disinfectant.

3.  Wash hands properly.  If water is unaccessible, use disinfectants like alcohol and or hand sanitizers.

4.  If the swine flu is already positive in your area — use disposable masks.  Don’t reuse the dispo masks.

5.  Take plenty of rest as much as possible when you feel the first sign of flu and take lots of fluids — even before it started.

6.  Avoid unnecessary anxiety.  At times it’s the stress and worry that caused one not to rest well so the resistance went down.

7.  Avoid public places for the meantime.  Don’t stand-by in the malls as much as possible.  If you need to shop, go in quick and shop and then exit the place.

Additional thoughts:

Many deaths in China during the SARS period was psychologically enduced.  People are so anxious that once they got caught the virus all they think was they are going to die.   And when they get well, their family will never ever accept them.

In times like this, family love and care and support is very important.  So being sick and snag away for quarantine and total isolation from the loved ones can cause trauma that for sure makes the sick or the patient more ill.

Hmmm i got so much to rant…i’d better end this and make another post.

Are you a patient person? Has your patience been tested a lot of times? What have you done about it?

++ Am a patient?  I’d like to say I am because I can when i want to.  I am the type of person who as much as possible don’t like anyone lose their patience on me.

++Has my patience been tested?  Yes.

++ What i’ve done?  One of the unforgetable, i ran upstairs and screamed and cried out loud because it’s not allowed to talk back to my MIL coz she is already old and she might die blah blah.  so one day she attacked me inthe kitchen while cooking and shove my cooking stuff in the air using her cane.  She really tested me hard that day but i just kept my cool but i almost died of heart attack, so i have to scream.

If it happen again, i will go out and breath deeply, and go somewhere quiet to clear my head.   At times, it’s great to eat the comfort food. lol!

“What is your favorite ice cream flavor or ice cream concoction?

My answer:

Chocolate!  Plain chocolate or the one with bits of nuts and lots of marsh mallows.   I think that’s in the famous Magnolia’s Rocky Road!   I am a chocolate lover that if i have the chance to pick the ice cream that i really wanna eat, it’s of Chocolate.

How i wish i have a photo of a Rocky Road or anything Choco ice cream.

I often say, i love chocoloates or anything brown so it can be an ice cream, a muffin, a cake, or  a fudge.  As long as it tastes chocolates then am in heaven.  But i know too that not all brown are chocolates, so I don’t really like the mocha flavor and the cookies anc cream stuff.

I love my favorite ice cream paired with a slice bread!  That would be so yummy.
