Who Really Killed Ninoy Aquino?

August 21, 1983

After 30 years, many Filipinos are still puzzled as to who was the mastermind behind the assassination of Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr. There are lots of speculations, different opinions but one thing is certain... the case was not really solve yet, or I believed so. I don't think Marcos got to do with it, do you? I've got here a YouTube video of an interview of Ninoy on the plane with Jim Laurie, an international journalist, who was with Ninoy (obviously) on that fateful day of August. Listen carefully how Ninoy seems to know what would gonna happen to him by the time the plane will land at the airport...



Did you notice that men in uniform who accompanied him on the way down? Aren't they look so suspicious? If you have enough time, try to read the comments of this video from different people who have different perceptions about the incident.
I have a conclusion in my mind after watching the video but I rather keep it to myself. Still, I don't really believe much that it was the late President Ferdinand Marcos who got him assassinated. I think it was... hmm never mind.

Remembering Noah and the Great Flood

Hearing the news and all, I felt so sad for all those flood victims in Metro Manila. It brought my memories back to December 2011 when Cagayan de Oro was flooded because of Typhoon Sendong. I can still remember the fear and the anxieties. I was still pregnant with my first baby during that time. I was really crying and so very afraid because the water was already knee-deep high. The flood aftermath was even worse. There's scarcity of food, water and other basic needs like clothing and shelter. There were so many victims left homeless and worst, some have even lost their love ones. There were so many casualties that there's no more space left to bury them all. There were shortage of casket and those dead bodies who were not identified yet was buried in mas grave. Kagay-anons during that time are however became united in helping each other. Good thing there were relief goods coming from other places from both government and private sector. But again, no material goods and even cash can ease the pain of those who survived yet lost some members of their families.

Picking up the pieces and starting all over again was not that easy. Some victims during that time has still have that trauma that whenever it rains harder, worries came in.  I was one of them. We keep on moving from one place to another because we were once a victim and upon hearing the news about an upcoming typhoon, all those worst scenario flashes back. To date, there are still some who are missing. I am just hoping and praying that they were able to survive the flood. 

It is really difficult to defy the wrath of nature. And who's to blame? Some says flood is a man-made calamity. Maybe yes. Because of our greediness, we tend to do anything even if it means destroying our nature. We compromise our natural habitat in favor of infrastructure development. Yes, it is true that people are becoming aware of our environmental situation that a Plant-a-Tree campaign was widely disseminated and practiced even in school. Students were tasked to plant a tree for their Community Service Project. But it will take long before it grows. Oh well, at least, a tree has been planted. I am just hoping that the local government here in Cagayan de Oro will come up with a city development plan wherein it will not compromise our environment. It would be a waste of time for those who will invest in big structures when it has been known that the city was once overtaken by what we call flash floods.

Let us not wait for another great flood to happen, we should do something before Noah will poke us and say,"I told you so..."

Hello There!

Dear Visitors,

Notice my long absence? Well, honestly, I am quite preoccupied right now. My hands are full with school activities. It's Midterm week and I am busy checking my student's exam and projects! Tomorrow I still have one more exam with my students in Basic CADD. I'm still halfway to the finishing line. Last Wednesday too, I went to the health center for the scheduled immunization of my baby doll. She was given a Pentavalent that gave her so much pain and discomfort until now. She got a fever (which is an after-effect), and I got injected with depo too (I can't just wait and do nothing about FP). I've actually got varied feedback about the effect of depo but I am praying that it will work perfectly fine for me with no complications.

Anyway, thanks for visiting here. I will try to update this blog as frequently as possible so that by your next visit, you'll get a fresher info about me and anything else. Oh by the way, I am currently having a contract with odesk too and hoping to get all the given tasks done before Monday. There's still grade computation waiting in line!

Whew, what a week! ;)

Cheering for Gilas Pilipinas...


Home court Advantage.

This is how I assess the present FIBA Asia 2013 games status in favor of Gilas Pilipinas. Their performances against other countries like Qatar, Kazakhstan has been such a good indication that Gilas Pilipinas will make it to the Final Round...

However, tonight's game against Korea was... heart thumping ... 
Oh, not my heart actually, it's my husband's. His eyes and ears were all focus on the screen... took a little break to wash Kuya Gregory's feeding bottles...
Pilipinas Gilas' import, according to him, wasn't able to play due to some injury.
Pingris? Alapag? Tenorio? David? who else! Go for the hoop guys!

Hmm, you can do it guys!

Let's cross our fingers then.

Let's cheer for Gilas Pilipinas!

Herniated Disc Treatment

Lately, a colleague of mine suffered an intolerable pain on her back that when she visits the doctor for a checkup it was found out that one of the discs on her spinal column was misaligned. She really does not have an idea what cause it to happen but she was advised to undergo herniated disc surgery if the pain persisted. People suffering with herniated disc should seek an immediate treatment to avoid further damage. There are modern treatment options available today and one of those is the artificial disc replacement that should be performed only by leading spine surgeon.
