Las Ruinas del Corazon
Eric Gamalinda (Zero Gravity)Juana the Mad married the handsomest man in Spain
and that was the end of it, because when you marry a man
more beautiful than you, they say you pretty much lost control
of the situation. Did she ever listen? No. When he was away
annexing more kingdoms, she had horrible dreams
of him being cut and blown away, or spread on the rack,
or sleeping with exotic women. She prayed to the twin guardians
of the Alhambra, Saint Ursula and Saint Susana, to send him home
and make him stay forever. And they answered her prayers,
and killed Philip the Handsome at twenty-eight.
Juana the Mad was beside herself with grief, and she wrapped
his body in oils and lavender, and laid him out in a casket of lead,
and built a marble effigy of the young monarch in sleep,
and beside it her own dead figure, so he would never think
he was alone. And she kept his body beside her, and every day
for the next twenty years, while pungent potions filled the rooms,
she peeked into his coffin like a chef peeks into his pot,
and memories of his young body woke her adamant desire.
She wanted to possess him entirely, and since not even death
may oppose the queen, she found a way to merge death and life
by eating a piece of him, slowly, lovingly, until he was entirely
in her being. She cut a finger and chewed the fragrant skin,
then sliced thick portions of his once ruddy cheeks. Then she ate
an ear, the side of a thigh, the solid muscles of the chest,
then lunged for an eye, a kidney, part of the large intestine.
Then she diced his penis and his pebble-like testicles
and washed everything down with sweet jerez.
Then she decided she was ready to die.
But before she did, she asked the poets to record these moments
in song, and the architects to carve the song in marble,
and the marble to be extracted from the most secret veins
of the earth and placed where no man could see it,
because that is the nature of love, because one walks alone
through the ruins of the heart, because the young must sleep
with their eyes open, because the angels tremble
from so much beauty, because memory moves in orbits
of absence, because she holds her hands out in the rain,
and rain remembers nothing, not even how it became itself.

Love In New Wave
I never get to see your face
I only get to hear your drums instead
You never fail to make me feel alright
And when it comes to consequence
You make me feel like I've got no regrets
You never fail to make me feel so right
You synthesizers to the bone,
They lift me off my legs of stone
All I need is to close my eyes
We're making love in new wave tonight
You take me places never been
Like the cover of a magazine
I never thought I'd get there all my life
And crazy though it all may seem
In the pages of this magazine
There's not a word about you all the time
You synthesizers to the bone,
They lift me off my legs of stone
All I need is to close my eyes
We're making love in new wave tonight
Whatever the tunes you know
Whatever the tunes you know
We're making love in new wave
We're making love in new wave

medrol-Methylprednisolone is a synthetic (man-made) corticosteroid. Corticosteroids are naturally- occurring chemicals produced by the adrenal glands located adjacent to the kidneys. Corticosteroids block inflammation and are used in a wide variety of inflammatory diseases. There are numerous preparations of corticosteroids including oral tablets, capsules, liquids, topical creams and gels, inhalers, eye drops, and injectable and intravenous solutions.floxel-Levofloxacin is used treat infections such as pneumonia; chronic bronchitis; and sinus, urinary tract, kidney, and skin infections. Levofloxacin is in a class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. It works by eliminating bacteria that cause infections. Antibiotics will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections.
ambroxol-Ambroxol is a strong expectorant. It enables sticky phlegm to be removed from the respiratory tract faster and more easily by enhancing the bronchial secretions that loosen congested phlegm. Ambroxol also releases and strengthens the cilia (tiny striking hairs inside the windpipe and bronchial tubes), which can then expel the abnormal phlegm with their conveyor-belt like action.
Telfast-Fexofenadine hydrochloride (brand names include Allegra and Telfast) is an antihistamine drug used in the treatment of hayfever and similar allergy symptoms. It was developed as a successor of and alternative to terfenadine (brand names include Triludan and Seldane), an antihistamine with potentially serious contraindications. Fexofenadine, like other second and third-generation antihistamines, does not readily enter the brain from the blood, and so causes less drowsiness than first-generation histamine-receptor antagonists.

Question: Bakit ko nilagay yang mga gamot na yan sa blog ko?
First of all dahil kahapon kinailangan kong pumunta ng ospital para magpa check up dahil sa sakit konr allergic rhinitis.
pero ano ba ang Allergic Rhinitis? (isa muna uling cut & paste)
Allergic rhinitis is a collection of symptoms, predominantly in the nose and eyes, caused by airborne particles of dust, dander, or plant pollens in people who are allergic to these substances. When these symptoms are caused by pollen, the allergic rhinitis is commonly called hay fever.
Ok so yan nga ang sakit ko. di nako nakakatulog or nakakahiga ng diretso dahil dyan, as in punong puno ng sipon ang ilong ko and eventually nagiging ubo na siya. Siguro kung bibilangin lahat ng cough syrup na nainom ko kaya ko nang pumuno ng isang balde.
But seriously hassle talaga tong sakit na to and ang masama pa eh hereditary siya meaning habang buhay ko na siyang dala-dala.
Noong high school acne ngayon naman rhinitis jusme ano kayang sunod? ito ba ang pag-babalance out ni mother nature dahil sa sobra sobra kong sex appeal (palakpakan!!!) nyahaha
Dati nagpaospital nako nito sa cebu and may nakita na ang doctor na polypoids. Well ang polypoids ay mga baby polyps na pag lumala eh matatanggal lang through surgery at ang kilala kong sikat na apat na beses nang naoperahan ng polyps ay si ambeth ocampo isang famous historian in fact sa kanya ko natutunan ang existence ng polyps.
Niresetahan ako ng limpak limpak na gamot naalala ko umabot ng 4k plus ang inabot ng mga reseta sakin dahil sa polypoids. then eventually binigyan ako ng isang maintenance drug na inhaler yung budecort. for awhile ok ang budecort then bigla na lang siya nawala yun pala eh na pull out na siya sa lahat ng drugstores (dahil old drug na daw siya) when I searched it sa net madami pala siyang bad side effects (uhmm old drug pala ha) ewan ko kung anong ginawa nun sa utak ko pero dahil dun nagkalimpak limpak ang pag-inom ko ng sleeping pills dahil nakakainsomnia daw siya.
kaya nagpunta ako ng doktor ulit sa manila naman dahil nga na pullout na ang budecort at talagang asar na asar nako sa ilong ko. ok naman ang check up sa St. Lukes mabait ang doktor sa halagang 600 sabi sakin may allergic rhinitis ako na by the way di na maaaring mawala dahil nga hereditary at may complication yung sakit ko which is nagka sinusitis ako. (copy paste ulit)
Sinusitis is an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, which may or may not be as a result of infection, from bacterial, fungal, viral, allergic or autoimmune issues. Newer classifications of sinusitis refer to it as rhinosinusitis, taking into account the thought that inflammation of the sinuses cannot occur without some inflammation of the nose as well (rhinitis).
So ayun niresetahan nanaman ako ng doktor which I should be taking for a week then babalik nanaman ako sa kanya for another checkup. He also said I must dry up my nose dahil nga sobrang daming mucus and if pagbalik ko next week eh meron pa rin at di natuyo either i-x-ray ako para makita ang mga bara and if meron nang polyps. Or if gumaling pwede nya akong bigyan ng mas magandang maintenance drug better than budecort. (jusme sana gumaling lord help me po pls pwamis kakain nakong madaming gulay!)
Ok so bumili ako ng gamot sa mercury drug and potek ang mahal umabot ng 3k halos yung ngastos ko dun sa mga gamot and yes yung apat na nasa taas na nauna ang mga dapat kong inumin once a day.
Effects? Ok siya ma naging maluwag ang paghinga ko at medyo nawala ang sipon ko pero pare naman hanep ang tama ng gamot para kang naka juts! hehehe ayus sarap i-tulog...
But heniweys i hope and pray na sana gumaling na ilong ko or else baka ma surgery ako waahhh!!!
Total Helplessness
A friend of mine who's a Muslim from a brood of four females is about to take her medical board exam next year. Upon meeting her back in manila we were able to catch up on things over a slice of pizza at sbarros.
batchmates kami nung college she took biology while I took Mass communications (in hopes of being in the media which well... disappointed me anyway)
Then I asked her about her plans in the future.
"Haay floyd kelan pa ba ako nagkaron ng control sa buhay ko? all my life tatay ko ang nasusunod..."
I don't know if magiging thankful ako dahil hindi ako muslim coz you see in their culture talagang sobrang paternalistic. Macho dapat at nasusunod ang tatay lagi kahit kadalasan mali.
I remember that this friend of mine had a boyfriend before and she had to break up with him because he's not muslim. Well short of saying her father disallowed it.
madami akong lam na stories like this like my friend who's chinese who had been keeping his relationship with a filipina for two years and eventually had to break up with her because his mom won't allow it.
He told me di pa daw siya nakakita ng ganung klaseng babae sa buong buhay nya and he really loved her thath he's willing to elope with her.
But the Filipina told her not to, and asked him to go back to his family, she said that she'd rather see him happy with his family than being disowned.
My friend spent nights crying in church after that, as for the filipina she married and had a family.
My friend also got married to a chinese and with his family's blessing they are both happy.
Well you see I really don't see the point why these certain human rights violations are not being put to light. I honestly believe that every person has a right to his/her own happiness regardless of race, social status, color & gender.
we fail to see that even though we are fighting for our human rights we give enough loopholes for tradition to overrun our sensibilities and small things like these are either pushed aside or accepted as the norm.
Minsan naisip ko that if the chinese wants to marry kapwa nila chinese then let them go back to china. Or the muslim let him/her marry somewhere in the middle east.
I feel that inspite of all the well being and hospitality our country had given them parang ang babaw naman na they will discriminate towards us or anybody.
That is whats lacking in this God damned country, we lack laws that would make our lives better. Like for example its a crime to not let children go to school or be irresponsible parents in other countries.
But anyway it has always been a problem in other countries and worse is their killing each other off by simply the color of skin, or religion.
sad. sad. sad.
Mumu
was about to finish a whole lot longer than usual post about ghosts and anything of the unlikely when my computer shutted down and I wasn't able to save the file (F$ck IT) >_<
Anyway so the story goes that I was writing about the not so ordinary phenomenons that happened in my life.
The unexplainable and the skeptical.
First of all I do believe In ghosts, ghosts proves that there exists another life aside from what we have.
Life after death.
May mga brushes na rin ako with ghosts or what i think are ghosts.
You see I've met people who don't believe in them some being scietists trying to debunk the idea na meron ngang mumu.
A proffessor in UP cebu who's a renowned scientist and Psychologist had experiences with the paranormal.
Like while giving an exam to a number of students in the afternoon she would see a guy acting like a proctor only to see it pass through the wall of the classroom. The students also saw it and immediately the exam was stopped in short of panic.
Another story that she told the class was about the time she went inside a toilet in the new building in the campus, upon opening she saw dozens of small kids walking towards her smiling and giggling noisily. she closed the door again out of fright and upon opening it again the kids all vanished.
Madami akong brushes with ghosts and the like pero ayoko sanang isipin na may third eye ako though madami na ang nagsabing talagang meron, truth is ayaw ko nang idea ng third eye. Kasi susmusunod sayo ang mga spirito.
Yep it happened to me and I know if malapit na sila.
Nung bata ako nakakakita ako pero siguro consciously alam na ng brain ko na ayaw kong makakita kaya ayun na shut down na siya nakakaramdam na lang ako.
Usually nakakaramdam ako if talagang malaks ang spirit or gusto rin siguro nyang magparamdam sakin.
The thing with these hunches and feelings eh walang third party na makakapagconfirm if talagang may nararamdaman ka o wala.
sabi sa national geographic ang brain daw if under pressure from electromagnetic impulses eh nagha-hallucinate and yun daw ang dahilan kaya nakakakita ang mga tao ng multo.
Pero may mga tao daw na sensitive sa mga ganun at meron ding mga hinde.
Tulad ng isang tita ko na kahit nakatayo na lahat ng balahibo ko sa katawan eh di parin siya nakakaramdam ng multo.
Sabi pa nga nya sakin baka imagination ko lang daw yun. Well sige lang at least siya di nakakakita and if makakita man siya sure na malakas yung spirito na yun.
Pero yung nakakatakot ko talagang experience eh yung one time nagsasampay ako ng damit sa pasig. Usually kasi 9-12 pm lang ang tubig duon kaya pag naglalaba ako ng mga damit namin sa bahay (yes ako po ang taga-laba) eh mga ala una nako ng umaga nagsasampay.
Anyway habang nagsasampay ako wala naman talagang hangin nun kitang kita ko kasi may mga maliliit na stalks ng grass hindi talaga gumagalaw. As in tahimik talaga lahat tulog na ang mga tao nang biglang may bumulong sa tenga ko as in sobrang close "Hoooy" sa totoo lang totoo pala yung sinasabi nilang tatayo lahat ng buhok mo sa katawan if natakot ka.
Actually yung bahay ng lolo ko na yun eh talagang hunted usually may maririnig kaming tumatawag samin sa baba pero pagbaba namin wala naman palang tumawag samin or walang tao.
Sabi ng tita ko may mga dwende daw dun at yung lugar daw namin eh dating libingan. Well ewan ko kung totoo yun basta ang alam ko yung unang bahay sa compound namin walang tumatagal ng ilang buwan usually walang tao dun, at creepy talaga pag nakita mo ang loob nya sobrang dilim kahit may ilaw parang madilim sobra.
Another scary thing that happened to me in that house was when I went home from school and usually ang ginagawa ko eh kinukuha ko ang radyo sa kabilang kwarto para magpatugtog habang nagbibihis. Nung kukunin ko na yung radyo wala siya sa lugar nya eh ang liit liit lang kwarto at dalawa lang talaga ang kwarto namin sa bahay.
Ikot ako ng ikot at tinanong ko pa sila sa baba kung nasan ang radyo sabi nila wala.
pagbalik ko sa kwarto ulit para hanapin ang radyo eh nakita ko yung tit ko nakaupo lang na parang tinitingnan ako. Tinanong ko siya:
"Tita nakita nyo po ba yung radyo?"
"Hindi ko nakita Ikaw lang naman ang gumagamit nyan eh... Hindi ko nakita Ikaw lang naman ang gumagamit nyan eh... Hindi ko nakita Ikaw lang naman ang gumagamit nyan eh... Hindi ko nakita Ikaw lang naman ang gumagamit nyan eh..."
Paulit ulit niyang sinasabi yun tapos yung mata nya parang nanlilisik na hindi makatingin ng diretso.
Ako naman dedma sabi ko "Ah ok sige hanapin ko na lang" ang weird eh di siya tumitigil paulit ulit lang talaga siya.
Hinanap ko ulit yung radyo hanggang sa natapos na lang ako magbihis at nang pababa nako ng hagdan nasalubong ko ang tita ko.
"Tita galing kang kwarto di ba? ah nasa kwarto ka di ba? (by that time takang taka na talaga ako)"
"Anong nasa kwarto eh andun ako sa cr sa baba kasi walang tubig ang cr dito sa taas may diarrhea kasi ako eh bakit pala?"
"Ah... Eh.. Kung hindi ikaw yun eh sino yun?"
Tumakbo ako pabalik sa kwarto ng radyo.
ok... Patay ang ilaw walang tao at ang radyo... yes and radyo andun.
that time ewan ko kung matatakot ako o maasar o ano.. di ko maintindihan talaga pwamis.
heniweys madami pa talaga ang mga experiences ko pero sa ngayon eto muna.
Happy Halloween nga pala hehehe
The Price of a Doubt
There's more than enough reason to doubt the so-called "scientific" results given out by the government.
1. The results were given out only after a week, God knows what they did to the evidence. (Remember Vizconde Massacre?)
2. Different opinions from different specialists but no independent body to announce the real facts other than what the Government wants us to believe.
3. The lack of statement from Ayala corporation to solidify and give credibility to their claims that it was indeed their mistake that prompted the blast to eventually take place.
It has always been the practice of the government to either plant evidence against suspected dissenters or cover up evidence as they bluntly did after sealing off all of Glorietta.
Now do I want Glorietta to be open for everyone after the blast? No, but I believe they should've given the task to more prolific scientists and experts on the matter. Like, for example why say that it was caused by a bomb in the first place by PNP bomb experts only to deny everything in the end?
Would it mean that this becomes a question of credibility, and whoever has the information (as of course they only have) has the last say?
What bothers me most is the way the investigation took place as if it was all planned to discredit all of the people who would refuse to believe the results of the investigations.
Government: "Look we told you it wasn't a bomb, experts says so! You should trust the government more or else become the idiot that you guys already are trying to blame the government with all the bad things happening to our country. Why not blame the opposition or better yet blame yourselves and not just blame us all the time"
People: "Like Duh?! You have the evidence and you have the final say on everything how the hell are we not going to doubt you? besides you guys have been lying to us ever since so don't blame us if we don't trust you at all."
Government: "You like facts then you have the facts here they are from the scientists and bomb experts!"
People: "What we need is credibility and not facts given out by a government who could change results in elections and murder people out of whim to keep themselves in power!"
I can swallow the idea that it wasn't really a bomb if and only if the evidence will be presented without bias. If the government that investigates it is as clean as the victims of the tragedy.
Granting without admitting that indeed it was an implosion and a faulty engineering decision made by Ayala corporation then they should really pay the price for the lives of the ones who died.
The thing that really bothers me though is there's no fire.
'Til recently Ayala land has still refuted the findings of the police and the government.
A very convincing result of the investigators hired by Ayala land could be seen here
