After a long dramatic, tiring, tension-filled day, I am now going to TRY to go home.
Because I need to kahit walang taxi ni bus ni jeep.
Kasi the most powerful person in the country decides to set a curfew.
Paano uuwi ang mga tao di pa naman binubuksan ang roads.
Leche talaga.

Distracted

I am distracted by the current events of the state, so instead of me posting about nice stories and updates of my life, I will just try to work. While the rally of some stupid, thoughtless politicians are four blocks away.

This is so bad.
I hope it doesn’t get anymore unruly.

PC Security.

Being an avid blogger and all-around computer junkie, I cannot afford to have my PC crash anytime at all. My blogging, my scrapbooking, and all my kids’ priceless photo albums – just the thought of all these being wiped out by some lethal virus makes my heart stop. The bad thing about all this is that no matter how careful I am about maintaining our PC’s security, I cannot avoid the occasional slips and accidents. That’s why I feel it’s really important to choose the best security software products that the market can offer. I read about NOD32 and it says that it offers a comprehensive approach to securing our PCs. And because my PC is one of the most valuable objects in my possession right now, I am very meticulous about security. You should too!

Flower Delivery

Dont you find it hard to find gifts for persons closest to your heart, like your parents or husband or wife? I do. Im so stumped on what to give to my Mom. I will be giving her an album of her kids and grandchildren but other than that Im still pretty stumped. Then I had a BRILLIANT idea! (Im sure everyone knows this!) How about I give her flowers! Flowers can be given at any special occasion even everyday. But you can give high quality flowers as well.

On a second thought, I’d want to send flowers to my godmother as well. She has helped me ever since and is really fit to be called a “GodMother.” She doesnt only send gifts during my birthday or the holidays, she sees to it that she keeps in touch with me, knows my plans and even supports me in what I do. She even let me go ahead and study a new course even if I had Matthew already. What do you give a person who you think have everything right? Just a token of appreciation. And flowers are the best sign for it.

It is a good thing I have come across an international flower delivery service called 2Flowers.com. They accept dollars and euors and all flower deliveries are done by premium florists and handcarried and not delivered by courier! They even have version of their web site in native languages. For English, go to the flowers usa site. For Spanish languages, go to the flores eeuu web site!

Tag From Amore.

From Amore:

My question is: What’s your three ultimate material things you wish to have for your self?

So let me stress Amore’s question, it said material and ultimate. LOL

Hmm, aside from my ultimate dream of having my own big (but cozy) dream house (complete with furnishings!).

Here are mine:

My Tech Geek Wishlist

All in the name of shaping up, Id like a complete set of fitness gear, one year membership to a gym, a personal trainer. Heck, my own gym and trainer na lang! LOL

I’d like to have din a very nice house, I said it na, with bedrooms for my immediate and extended family, places for entertaining guests. I want a house I can make a home, one which will allow my kids to prefer to stay home and invite friends over instead of them going out pa :)

The whole afternoon was spent thinking about our impending migration to the US and how I can be a stay at home mom. I worry about Matthew and Martha’s education knowing how expensive matriculation could be. My mom said home schooling can be an option. True. Home schooling will enable us to spend time together while getting good quality education and moral foundations. Then we can focus more on what matters most, family.

Would it not be nice to have free Home school? She showed me an article online talking about K-12 Free Homeschool. Here’s how it can be tuition-free. They offer tuition-free courses to US based students with the help of sponsorship from companies and NGOs. They also support moral foundation based on Christian teaching. Having come from a very catholic and religious family, imparting my religious belief and faith to my kids is part of my top priorities. While reading through their website I wonder though if they will have good programs as such from regular private Christian schools and lo and behold, their course catalog includes a comprehensive program that includes not only the usual academic courses but also arts, music and other cognitive skill enhancing courses such as Crime Scene Investigation. All that for FREE! Can you imagine? I need to check out the K-12FreeHomeschool.org Course Catalog now!

Narcotic Addiction

One of the forms of medicine addiction does not involved prohibited drugs. It involved medicated or prescription medicine. This is a hard type of addiction to diagnose because for one, the person involved with the addiction may not even notice that he or she is getting addicted to already. The most common form of presription addiction is addiction to opiates. Opiates are medicines that are used to relive pain – they are narcotics. So you can understand why people can get addicted to it. They activate brain centers that can release ‘pleasure’ sensations. So patients will not feel any pain.

Thankfully, there is a detox program for addictions of that kind. This type of addiction needs a detoxification program, enabling to body to not depend on the drug. With the new Meditox method, patients can have the chance to undergo rehab and be an out-patient. This program lasts for six weeks. The suboxone detox is the one used to help patients addicted to opiates. They countereffect the opiate drug with the revolutionary new drug buprenorphine. Also called “bupe,” the drug is sold under the trade names Temgesic, Buprenex, Subutex, and of course, Suboxone. The suboxone detox treatment helps patient in a way that the drug fools the body and brain that the opiate drug is still in the body so the brain centers still release pleasure sensations. You can stop taking your opiate, and instead take the buprenorphine. Your body then starts to detoxify from opiates, but the buprenorphine fools the brain into thinking it’s there. As a result, you can detox without having painful withdrawal symptoms.That is the reason that it is allowed to be done at home!
