Birthday @ anawangin 2010

Woke up friday-my birthday.. after doing some stuff, start to prepare my things, gusto ko umuwi ng maaga sa amin to rest before going to zambales.. by 10am problem occur in the office and i have to stay until 3pm.. leave laguna by 5pm, by 630pm i arrived at buendia, i need to go to cartimar to buy dogfood for amy.. by 8pm, im home at last..

i never gave notice to my family that i will be going home that night, therefore, no ulam for me waiting.. haayyzzz.. tired and hungry, i ask kyle my pamangkin to accompany me at the tapsilugan managed by my cousin sa kanto, and there i celebrate may *bleep birthday! eating porksilog and siomai with coke zero, while kyle was enjoying his tapsilog.. LOL

after we eat we passby to my other relatives and they greet me all, and asked to celebrate my birthday on the spot.. patak patak wala sa budget e.. LOL
we drank absolut currant vodka, and for some-beer.. our celeb end up 130am, i have to leave 3am.

thank god that my things are all packed up. i took a shower and rest for a while, set my clock at 330am.. until one of my friend texted that woke me up.. at 4am, i met my friend who has a pick up truck that will deliver us to the venue, bayad nalang sa gas.. (never mind his agenda there hehe)..

we had fun during our travel. puro kulitan at bawal matulog or else, aasarin kalang.. we took SCTEX route.. sarap ng byahe.. walang trapik, we reached subic by 730am, we head towards san antonio then to public market where we park, as usual market muna..

but before that we ate our breakfast, pansit luglog for me, sopas and bihon to others.. then we bought food we are going to bring in anawangin, for lunch-adobong pusit, for dinner-sinigang na talakitok, for breakfast-longganisa and egg, for early lunch-pritong tilapia.

our contact arrived in just a while after we parked in brgy. pundaquit, all are set na.. we bid our friend goodbye and thanked him for delivering us safely.. as i stepped into the beach.. saw familiar scenery and feel old feelings.. : P

all five of us wen to the beach, and rode the boat to anawangin for about 30mins travel.. depende sa alon.. : D .. and we are lucky na kalmado ang dagat that time..

and as our boat turned left to head towards the alcove.. we all feel happy and excited seeing the familiar beautiful scenery.. HERE WE ARE AGAIN.. THERE THEY WERE STILL..

cant describe the feeling that you want to laugh and jump that we are back on our favorite place, pero syempre you will not do that at baka di kami patuluyin.. hehe.. our boatman was the son of the caretaker in anawangin, therefore we got the best location and table in there..

after eating our lunch.. we all took a nap, wala kase kaming tulog lahat.. and as soon as we got back our wit.. simulan na ang celebration hehe.. we had fun, puro kalokohan, puro kantyawan, mga gaguhan hehe.. until naubos na namin ang 1L..

the liquor and heat of the sun, made us run towards the beach.. at dun tinuloy ang kulitan and inuman.. when the sun was starting to fall, we head back to our hut, i fell asleep and geng.. soaked and drunk..

  

they woke me up 7pm to eat our dinner, para mawala narin ang tama, sinigang na talakitok.. i sat and fix myself, change my wet clothes with dry one and start to eat.. kaya lang, i dont feel like eating.. i feel like throwing up.. instead, i prepare the ground sheet and sleep..

in the middle of the night i was awaken by my stomach grumbling, i need to throw up.. and run towards the beach.. i puked 3 times that night before my stomach get calmed. my friend woke me up 6am, he bought me coffee and i ate my dinner/bfast-sinigang.. finally im ok, mula sa gabing sinusumpa mo ang alak.. LOL

cool wind and fresh air.. my friend are starting to wake up.. nag luto na ng scrambled egg sandwich, then fry the tilapia and longanisa.. after eating, we walk around, visit the beautiful spot/scenery in there..

surprisingly.. all part ng anawangin ay ginawan ng resort, they build hut and table and chairs, there is two stores in the area.. whats good though is.. luminis ang lugar. nawala ang mga madawag na damo and dead leaves.. wala din tubig sa batis.. el nino is coming..

 feel hot from our walk, we took a bath, our last bath, that after that we are going back home na.. we fix our selves and things by 2pm, we left again.. anawangin.. huhuhu..

rode a tricycle and bus to olongapo where we eat our merienda at kfc.. its already 5pm, we head towards victory liner after eating.. at timing.. pagsakay namin, the bus left olongapo.. we arrived at monumento 8pm and i arrived at home hungry again.. 9pm : )

been a long and tiring and super happy return of the day for me.. and i thank to all my friends who joined us, their effort contributed to make things happen..

Mash Men family and friends

Natuloy din kami, tagal naring hindi nagkakasama sama ang maskmen, sinama namin ang mga kaibigan at pamilya pagpunta sa isla na first time din naming pupuntahan.. at first time din naming makasama ang nanay ko sa ganitong lakwatsa, sana ay makasama pa sya sa mga susunod na lakad, dumating kami sa mauban quezon ng 8am, 10am pa ang alis ng bangka, namalengke muna kami ng mga pagkaing dadalhin namin doon..

bumili kami ng isang buong mahi mahi, pang ihaw at sigang, assorted na isdang sariwa, from red snapper to talakitok and sapsap.. saka yellow fin tuna, pang kilaw..

pag dating sa isla, kelangan pa naming maglakad ng mga 30mins sa talahiban para marating ang kabilang parte ng isla kung saan andun ang aming resort..

medyo untidy ang resort, wala kase gaanong bisita kaya hindi nila gaanong pinaganda, may mga kalat sa beach (sea weeds) na suppose to be ay kinakalaykay..


pag dating, dali kaming nag luto, marami na ang gutom, pagkatapos kumain ang iba ay derechong natulog, ako naman ay nagkape habang nakahiga sa bench.. at dun narin inabot ng antok.

makalipas ang oras, pinilit ko ng gumising, malamig na kase ang hangin at sayang ang oras, wala ng panahon sa mga dapat pang gawin, nilakad ko ang dalampasigan at nagkalaykay sa buhanginan.. LOL.. hanggang isa isa ng gumising, at nagsama sama na sa ilalim ng puno..

inilabas na ang tequila.. 4 palang kaming gising ang maskman, si blue, yellow, pink and red. si black kase nasa dubai pa.. di na namin nararamdaman ang lamig ng hangin, puro tawanan na kami, hanggang sumalo na ang lahat.. paubos na ang alak, bitin.. simula narin umambon, at dali kaming sumilong sa pasilyo ng aming kubo..



dun namin tinuloy ang kwentuhan, kain at inum.. may nakakatawang kwento, malungkot, nakakatakot at malalim.. mag hatinggabi simula ng umuho ang

tubig sa dagat at isa ito sa gusto kong makita sa lugar na ito, dala ang flashlight, naglakad ako sa dagat, sinamahan ako ni blue, mga isang kilometro na ang nilalakad namin, etong tangang si blue, di nag sinelas, ayun at nagka tinik tinik sa bato.. LOL  nagsimula narin mamatay ang dala naming flashlight, nakupo ang dilim.. pero ang maganda nito.. sa bawat dantay ng hakbang ng paa namin sa tubig ay may umiilaw na parang alitaptap sa tubig.. dinoflagellates

http://www.assurecontrols.com/info-dinoflagellates.htm

natapos ang kwentuhan alas 12 na ng hatinggabi.. kinabukasan pag gising, muling humupa ang tubig at natunghayan namin ang OA na lowtide dito.. hehe.. naglakad kami sa buhanginan hanggang makarating sa isang batuhan sa dulo, walang nakapaligo kasi ay malamig ang hangin at tubig.. inubos nalang namin ang oras sa pagluto ng almusal at pag laro ng in-between. hanggang dumating ang takdang oras ng paguwi, problema ay bumubuhos ang ulan, kaya wala kaming choice kungdi, isuot ang mga basang damit namin at mag lakad sa ulan.. bago kami sumakay ulit ng bangka ay nakapag palit naman muna sa bahay ng mayari..


pag dating ulit sa mauban, andun na ang aming sasakyan, kumain muna kami ng pansit paghahanda sa mahabang byahe, dalawang order ng pansit habhab, miki bihon at sotanghon..

abot na ang inip at ako ay naihatid na rin dito sa laguna, sila ay may 3 oras pang byahe pa manila..

Alcohol protects heart

Alcohol 'protects men's hearts'

Wine, beer, vodka - the type of drink did not appear to change the results

Drinking alcohol every day cuts the risk of heart disease in men by more than a third, a major study suggests.

The Spanish research involving more than 15,500 men and 26,000 women found large quantities of alcohol could be even more beneficial for men.

Female drinkers did not benefit to the same extent, the study in Heart found.

Experts are critical, warning heavy drinking can increase the risk of other diseases, with alcohol responsible for 1.8 million deaths globally per year.

The study was conducted in Spain, a country with relatively high rates of alcohol consumption and low rates of coronary heart disease.

The research involved men and women aged between 29 and 69, who were asked to document their lifetime drinking habits and followed for 10 years.

Crucially the research team claim to have eliminated the "sick abstainers" risk by differentiating between those who had never drunk and those whom ill-health had forced to quit. This has been used in the past to explain fewer heart-related deaths among drinkers on the basis that those who are unhealthy to start with are less likely to drink.

Good cholesterol

The researchers from centres across Spain placed the participants into six categories - from never having drunk to drinking more than 90g of alcohol each day. This would be the equivalent of consuming about eight bottles of wine a week, or 28 pints of lager.

People should not be encouraged to drink more as a result of this research Professor Martin McKee London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine

For those drinking little - less than a shot of vodka a day for instance - the risk was reduced by 35%. And for those who drank anything from three shots to more than 11 shots each day, the risk worked out an average of 50% less.

The same benefits were not seen in women, who suffer fewer heart problems than men to start with. Researchers speculated this difference could be down to the fact that women process alcohol differently, and that female hormones protect against the disease in younger age groups.

The type of alcohol drunk did not seem to make a difference, but protection was greater for those drinking moderate to high amounts of varied drinks.

The exact mechanisms are as yet unclear, but it is known that alcohol helps to raise high-density lipoproteins, sometimes known as good cholesterol, which helps stop so-called bad cholesterol from building up in the arteries.

'Binge-drinking'

UK experts said the findings should be treated with caution because they do not take into account ill-health from a range of other diseases caused by excess drinking.

"Whilst moderate alcohol intake can lower the risk of having a heart attack, coronary heart disease is just one type of heart disease. Cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart muscle, is associated with high alcohol intake and can lead to a poor quality of life and premature death," said the British Heart Foundation's senior cardiac nurse, Cathy Ross.

"The heart is just one of many organs in the body. While alcohol could offer limited protection to one organ, abuse of it can damage the heart and other organs such as the liver, pancreas and brain."

The Stroke Association meanwhile noted that overall, evidence indicated that people who regularly consumed a large amount of alcohol had a three-fold increased risk of stroke.

"Six units within six hours is considered 'binge-drinking' and anyone indulging in regular 'binge-drinking' increases their risk of stroke greatly," said research officer Joanne Murphy.

Public health specialists warned no-one should be encouraged to drink more as a result of this study.

"The relationship between alcohol and heart disease remains controversial," said Professor Martin McKee of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

"While there is good evidence that moderate consumption is protective in people who are at substantial risk of heart disease - which excludes most people under the age of 40 - we also know that most people underestimate how much they drink. This paper adds to the existing literature but should not be considered as definitive. "

In the UK, the recommendation is no more than two to three units of alcohol a day for women - the equivalent of one standard glass of wine - and three to four units for men.

Fish oil for kidney problem

ScienceDaily (May 1, 2007) — Fish oil, it's been touted as an answer to Alzheimers, arthritis and even weight-loss but now a Queensland University of Technology researcher will test its health benefits in people with chronic kidney disease.

Dietitian Rachel Zabel, from QUT's Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation, will investigate the effects of fish oil on patients with kidney disease undergoing dialysis.

Ms Zabel said daily doses of fish oil in the form of a tablet or liquid had been shown to decrease inflammation - a common problem in people with kidney disease.

"Research shows that patients with kidney disease on dialysis experience a range of complications thought to relate to chronic inflammation," she said. "They can have poor nutritional status, disturbed appetite and a lower quality of life."

Ms Zabel said fish oils had known anti-inflammatory properties due to their high concentration of Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA).

"EPA has been used successfully in other population groups with chronic inflammation including people with osteoarthritis and cancer cachexia, however the anti-inflammatory effects have not yet been applied to patients on dialysis," she said.

As part of Ms Zabel's study, participants will be given a daily dose of fish oil, and tests will be conducted to measure changes in inflammation and appetite. The 12-week study will seek to determine the success of fish oil as a treatment option for inflammation in people with chronic kidney disease.

Ms Zabel said, with one in three people in Australia at risk of developing chronic kidney disease, improving the quality of life for sufferers was essential. "The incidence of chronic kidney disease is increasing," she said.

"One in seven people over the age of 25 have at least one clinical sign of chronic kidney disease and every day five Australians commence dialysis or transplantation to stay alive. "While fish oil won't cure kidney disease, it may provide a better quality of life for sufferers."

The study is being conducted in collaboration with the Wesley Hospital.

Tribute to a good couple

BAYAN KO

Ang bayan kong Pilipinas

Lupain ng ginto't bulaklak

Pag-ibig ang sa kanyang palad

Nag-alay ng ganda't dilag

At sa kanyang yumi at ganda

Dayuhan ay nahalina

Bayan ko, binihag ka

Nasadlak sa dusa

Ibon mang may layang lumipad

Kulungin mo at umiiyak

Bayan pa kayang sakdal dilag

Ang di magnasang makaalpas

Pilipinas kong minumutya

Pugad ng luha ko't dalita

Aking adhika

Makita kang sakdal laya..

J't aime

Dreams..

Sigmund Freud

Considered the father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) revolutionizes the study of dreams with his work The Interpretation Of Dreams. Freud begins to analyze dreams in order to understand aspects of personality as they relate to pathology.  He believes that nothing you do occurs by chance; every action and thought is motivated by your unconscious at

some level. In order to live in a civilized society, you have a tendency to hold back our urges and repress our impulses. However, these urges and impulses must be released in some way; they have a way of coming to the surface in disguised forms. 

One way these urges and impulses are released is through your dreams. Because the content of the unconscious may be extremely disturbing or harmful, Freud believes that the unconscious expresses itself in a symbolic language. 

Freud categorizes aspects of the mind into three parts:

Id - centered around primal impulses, pleasures, desires, unchecked urges and wish fulfillment. 

Ego - concerned with the conscious, the rational, the moral and the self-aware aspect of the mind. 

Superego - the censor for the id, which is also responsible for enforcing the moral codes of the ego.

When you are awake,  the impulses and desires of the id are suppressed by the superego. Through dreams, you are able to get a glimpse into your unconscious or the id. Because your guards are down during the dream state, your unconscious has the opportunity to act out and express the hidden desires of the id. However, the desires of the id can, at times, be so disturbing and even psychologically harmful that a "censor" comes into play and translates the id's disturbing content into a more acceptable symbolic form. This helps to preserve sleep and prevent you from waking up shocked at the images. As a result, confusing and cryptic dream images occur.

According to Freud, the reason you struggle to remember your dreams, is because the superego is at work. It is doing its job by protecting the conscious mind from the disturbing images and desires conjured by the unconscious.

Freudian Dream Tools:

According to Freud, dreams always have a manifest and latent content.  The manifest content is what the dream seems to be saying. It is often bizarre and nonsensical.  The latent content is what the dream is really trying to say. Dreams give us a look into our unconscious. Freud believes that we can chip through the dream's manifest content to reveal the underlying significance and its latent by utilizing the technique of "free association". Using this technique, you start with one dream symbol and then follow with what automatically comes to your mind first. You continue in this manner and see where it leads.

To further help in interpreting the cryptic images of our dreams,  Freud classified the images into the following five processes:

1. Displacement

This occurs when the desire for one thing or person is symbolized by something or someone else. 

2. Projection

This happens when the dreamer propels their own desires and wants onto another person.

3. Symbolization

This is characterized when the dreamer's repressed urges or suppressed desires are acted out metaphorically.

4. Condensation

This is the process in which the dreamer hides their feelings or urges by contracting it or underplaying it into a brief dream image or event. Thus the meaning of this dream imagery may not be apparent or obvious.

5. Rationalization

This is regarded as the final stage of dreamwork. The dreaming mind organizes an incoherent dream into one that is more comprehensible and logical. This is also known as secondary revision.

Freud is particularly preoccupied with sexual content in dreams. He believes that sex is the root cause of what occurs in your dreams. According to Freud, every long slender or elongated object (i.e. knife, cigar, gun, etc) represents the phallus, while any cavity or receptacle (bowl, cave, tunnel, etc) denotes the female genitalia.

FIRST HUMAN in the Philippines

Haplogroup A:

Haplo group a is defined by a genetic marker called M91-The most diverse of all Y chromosomes lineages. genetic diversity increases with age, so M91 defines a direct genetic link to the earliest common ancestor of all humans: ADAM.

M168: first appeared in the Eurasian Adam the common ancestor of everyone living today outside of africa. this simple change in single man's DNA sequence appeared between 31,000 and 79,000 years ago-most likely in today's ethiopia or sudan.

(the first to land on the philippines)
HAPLOGROUP D:
May have accompanied another group, the coastal clan (HAPLOGROUP C) on the first major wave of migration out of africa around 50,000 years ago. taking advantage of the plentiful seaside resources, these intrepid explorers followed the coastline of africa through the southern arabian peninsula, india, sri lanka and southeast asia.

HAPLOGROUP C:
They managed to cross a large body of water to populate distant australia..

K (our negritos)
Is an ancient lineage that began with a genetic mutation in a single individual some 40,000 years ago. the patriarch of all K descendants likely lived  in what is now iran or in an nearby southwestern asian location.
Most K individuals lives on a geographically isolated islands of the philippines, indonesia, melanisia  and elsewhere in southeast asia.
in some of these island locales, where the lineage has been preserved thru the centuries by a lack of genetic admixture.

M217:
The genetic marker M217 arose in someone who lived among the ancient east asian populations, appearing some 20,000 years ago, from east asis the descendants of M217 carried the marker west and south towards Central Asia.
(i cant decipher this, people from central asia came/passed from the philippines?)

Our Lady of Mediatrix - Lipa

It was 1991, may classmate ako sa pup na taga lipa (uwian sya lipa-pup everyday ADIK yun e) invite nya kami (barkada) sa kanila kase fiesta at saka may himala daw na nangyari.. meron daw image ni mama mary sa dahon ng buko sa kapitbahay nila..

kaya eto ang barkada larga na. typical fiesta, madami tao, marami handa, mga naka bihis kahit pagka init ng araw! hehe, at dinala nya kami dun sa puno ng nyog na meron ng small chapel sa ilalim at may mga picture narin silang nakuha mula dun, kase the time na nagpunta kami malabo na yung image sa dahon, sa picture nalang, pero pag tiningnan mo yung image sa picture-para lang natuyong parte at nanilaw na dahon hehe.. (bad ko)..

tapos dinala nya kami dun sa Carmel church sa lipa, pag pasok namin, aba, pagka tahimik na lugar, kahit humagikhik ka pakiramdam mo, ang sama na ng ginawa mo.. dumerecho kami sa right side andun ang image ni mama mary (the famous one)..

sabi ng classmate ko, yung isang image naman sa labas (garden groto) gumalaw daw yung damit habang nag lalaro yung mga batang naka kita, at meron nga daw shower of petals na nangyari, ang pagka kwento samin, panahon ng hapon nung unang nag himala dun..

http://www.christusrex.org/www1/apparitions/pr00013.htm

kaya nakaka intriga ang imahe, biruin mo, isang miraculous image? kaya akoy sabik nang pumunta dun sa imahe, at nakita ko sya, naka kulay puti, kakaibang itsura nya kesa sa mga dati ko ng nakita na puro burda, tanso ang damit, isip ko.. napaka simple lang, saka mukhang galing lang ng tayuman hehe.. (di naman maganda po ang imaheng ito, kaysa sa tayuman na mukhang mga cartoon character na)..

syempre dasal ng "SANA PO PUMASA AKO SA BOARD EXAM" hahaha! 4 na taon ko yan dinarasal di naman ako nag TAKE!!

bago kami lumabas dumaan kami sa souvenir shop at bumili kami ng kwintas na krus pare pareho kami (corny hehe) at ang maganda nun, na blessed nung paring andun, kase tinawag kami at nakipag kwentuhan..

sa labas, ano pa?? e di piktyuran na! parang wala lang kabanalang na experience hehe.. group pic hehe, pero syempre meron akong litrato ni mama mary, kinunan ko sya ng solo, last week naghalungkat ako sa room/warehouse ko, at nakita ko ulit yung picture, buo parin, nag isip ako? hmm... SIGN?? (17 years old narin pala itong picture na ito)

 

dati kona itong naka display lang sa lalagyan ng tv, pero ang tagal naring nawala, isip ko, siguro kaya nagkamalas malas ang buhay ko kase wala na sya sa piling ko.. (di nga?? hahaha).. eto na naman, nag hahanap ng dibersyon para sa kamalasang dinaranas hehe..

kapag may nangyari masama - GOD HAS A PURPOSE, kapag may nangyaring maganda - GOD'S BLESSINGS, kapag may nangyaring di inaasahan - GOD MOVES IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS, kapag may hindi ka makuha - GOD WILL PROVIDE IN HIS TIME.

ano pa ba?? hahaha.. isn't that just an excuse?? - nako, baka maramng magalit sakin hehe, ako naman po ay nagiisip lang..

ang totoo po nyan, eto tinago ko na yung picture, pakiramdam ko magdadala ito ng maganda sa buhay ko, kase nagkasama na ulit kami, at di ko na sya iwawaglit pa.. hmm.. lapit ko lang pala sa lipa mula dito sa calamba, minsan nga mabisita, 2 sakay lang naman..

TATAMPAL

 

Tatampal-madalas kapag pinag usapan ang seafood, isa ito sa mga favorite kong suggest, pero madalas din di alam ng mga kausap ko kung ano ang tatampal, sa navotas kase ito ang tawag sa kanya, kase literally pumipitik sya-nag curl close then sprang open using their tail na matulis to injure predator, kaya ingat kapag handle ng buhay nito..


Tagalog ba ang salitang tatampal? bansag lang ba ito ng taga navotas? ano kaya tawag dito ng mga taga probinsya dahil sigurado mas marami sa kanilang ganito, 10years ago meron pa nito sa manila bay, nahuhuli gamit ang sakag, nga lang maliliit, kaya di rin para kainin, ibinabalik nalang sa dagat.

nito ko nalang din nalaman ang english name nito MANTIS SHRIMP it makes sense kase meron syang arm na parang sa mantis na talaga naman matutulis-pang grab daw ng prey at yung arm na yun gamit ding pangpitik sa mga kalabang kapwa mantis shrimp kapag nag aagawan sa teritoryo or sa mate at maraming klase ng kulay pala nito siguro nag blend sa environment-national geographic.
anyways, bihira na ako makakita nito sa market kung meron man, maliliit (3 to 4 inches long) kadalasan payat pa (pag niluto mo wala na halos laman) at ang mahal 100/kilo.

ang masarap dito yung may aligi-hmmm.. sawsaw sa sukang maanghang at malambot na kanin (uuppss!! carbs! hehe) or di kaya i torta-yung meat nito i torta sa itlog! aaahhh!! tatay ko niluluto pa yan using banana leaf.
I prefer eating this kesa sa hipon (na pagkamahal na ngayon) ang tatampal parang cross ng lobster, hipon at alimasag hehe.. itsura na sa lobster na tangalin mo ang long exoskeleton para makuha ang laman, ang texture ng meat nito parang sa shrimp pero much tender at ang lasa more of like sa crab manamis namis..

pag niluto mo ito, mas mabango kesa sa alimasag or hipon or to some na pasosyal-yuk daw! (mukha mo yuk!) nowadays ang mga kabataan hindi na ito kilala (rare na kase) and even if you introduce such to them-mag inarte naman! (feeling?) i pity them they would never experience one of the best seafood around.. mapurga kayo sa tilapia hahaha!

O sige, naka ready na ang tatampal ko, bumili ako kalahating kilo, papakin ko lang para ramdam na ramdam ko ang sarap hehe-konti lang kase..
