It's feels like I'm missing half my life for that half a month of being away from the virtual world and even though the thought of sorrow is still there for the loss my family just have had, I cannot deny the fact that I am as well happy now that I am back. Not only online but I am also finally back home for good.
I wanted to blog about so many things but I am just as baffled and still trying to grasps things all together. I don't know what to talk about first but I surely would love to share as much as I can what I went through for the last 3 weeks. Anyway, I just got my new DSL Internet connection hooked up yesterday. I should be getting the same internet service I used to have if it was only available. They say cable and DSL providers are known for not filtering their network from unauthorized users accessing private networks. Scary, huh! For the mean time, I get no choice than to be just extra careful. I know there are invented softwares to help deter if not eliminate malicious activities online. I can always get one when needed.
Anyway, back to blogging, for real, I was glad to see number of visits being payed here while I'm away. I can't thank you guys enough for keeping my traffic moving. There's still one thing I'm dying of having back, though......
my page rank! (sigh!)
:-w
Well, that's all for now... keep on coming for more updates.
Have a fantastic Sunday, everyone.
Indeed, the start of the year hasn't been so good for me and my family. After battling with the so excruciatingly painful illness for months, yesterday morning my brother-in-law, Jimmy has to cast out his final breath with the presence of his whole family inside the car, mobiling while on their way to the hospital yesterday.
I don't live near my family so I only know bits and pieces about his condition, though I know he'd been going in and out of the hospital since late of last year. It was only a couple weeks ago when his doctor finally disclosed about him having a liver cancer along with several complications. Not even once that I've seen him on his condition. The last time we've seen each other was August of last year and and I just heard from my sister that he was confined to the hospital just few days right after we left Davao for Cebu.
I was preparing and were about to take lunch along with my younger sister and my nieces when I got the text message my sister, Joyce (his wife) has sent me yesterday. I was totally stunned! While reading the message, my mind was trying to grasp something I am not certain about. I have to call my sister right away. I need to hear her voice. She was trembling while trying to gather altogether what she has to say. I can feel her pain while I was so helpless. All she asked is for us to come home.
After my father's death 5 years ago, this is just but another major struggle my family has to go through especially for my sister. Its gonna be a long healing process that awaits for her ahead, and I know it's not gonna be easy and for us to be there for her is I think the most important thing we could do for now. We (my sister, Thea and I) are considering of getting a possible way to get home tomorrow either via air or a sea trip...I may not be visible here for several days but when I get a chance, I'll try to stop by to check here once in a while.
A little time to say a little prayer for the soul of my brother-in-law, Jimmy will be greatly appreciated.
GOD BLESS US ALL!
For most people, alcohol is a pleasant accompaniment to social activities. However, we need to remember that alcohol is a drug and is addictive. If taken excessively, it is dangerous and a life threatening habit. According to study, Ethyl alcohol or Ethanol found in alcoholic beverages is a central nervous system depressant that affects regions in the brain that control behavior, so naturally people feel more outgoing and talkative.
Heavy drinking can increase the risk for certain cancers and it also affects every system in the body including the nervous, digestive, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and endocrine systems. But we can fight it before it gets to the edge with promises that surely won't fail.

Once I was invited by my friend to come along with her to visit a skin care clinic during one of her facial treatment sessions. While waiting for her, the attendants was so kind to tour me around the clinic and I was so amazed upon staring at each beauty equipments I saw inside.In one of the rooms, I've thrown an inquisitive look at a cylinder-shaped cubicles with bulbs attached to its walls. "Those are the vertical tanning beds" pointing at the equipments, the lady says before I could even open my mouth to ask. This bed is designed to achieve a more even and much faster tanning result.
At the other side of the clinic I got to see a Microdermabrasion equipment. Microdermabrasion treatments are a gentle and painless method of exfoliating the skin on the face or body that has rapidly become widely utilized for a variety of cosmetic objectives,
including the improvement of photoaging, hyperpigmentation, acne, scars and stretch marks.
Amazing! I've heard about all of these treatments and surgical procedures to meet one's desired look but that was the only time I've ever came across with such real technology-driven and a truly state-of-the art beauty equipments.
Standards of beauty and practices had truly changed. A lot of people especially women are attempting to modify their physical appearances to conform cultural ideals of beauty. That is why the growth of beauty industry is evident nowadays. When you go to major cities and large malls in your places, there lies the sophisticated and distinctively designed beauty clinics as well as salon and spa centers.
What about you? How far would you go to look “beautiful” and what is your concept for beauty?
start reading here...
... so I made up my mind and headed my way back to the WU where I first transacted from inside the Mall. I queued myself again. While standing in front of the counter when my name was called, I spotted the exchange rate board that says: 46.97 to 1USD from 47.02 an hour ago.
Oh well, what can I do? I just would rather sign the papers or get nothing at all. After counting the money, I headed to SWC right away to pay my internet bill via the electronic machine. Forget about lunch! I need to get my errands done that day.
I stopped at the grocery... quick! Payed and left.
At a fast food chain, I grabbed a food and drink which I think of munching inside the van while sitting on my way home. So I ate while the car was running. It was only until then that I realize how hungry I was. Felt a bit relax after filling my tummy up... laid my back and fall asleep.
Finally, I'm home! Dropped everything in place... sat a while and took a sigh of relief. It's already around 5:00 in the afternoon. I still have to wake JK up and let him know I made it safe home. I turned on my PC on. I thought the hard lucks were through.
OH NOOO!
My internet was disconnected!
I hurriedly call SMART's hotline and the agent at the other end confirmed that my internet connection was temporarily disconnected due to unpaid balance. WHAT?!
Calm down, Nancy...calm down... Can't believe it! What a funny joke! I need to go back to the city AGAIN to settle the issue and yeah... they're right... so I have no reason to argue. I unintentionally missed paying my bill for the month of August last year.
Two days after, Saturday (24th) while talking to JK online, I smelled something familiar around my room. A burn-like smell. He then instructed me to check on all the wirings around the house. Can't find any. Few minutes later, the smell is no longer tolerable. It gets stronger and wanting to suffocate me this time. While I'm busy looking around trying to find out where it could possibly came from, I noticed that my PC suddenly went all blank. "Oh my"... was all I could utter. Worried about what might had happened, JK called me on my cellphone to check if everything were ok. We talked a while, I pulled all the plugs off and after the terrible smell was gone, I then went to bed to sleep.
25th. First thing I did in the morning was to clean my CPU. Know what I saw as I unplug all the cords attached at the back? Believe it or not... a burned power supply cord! Good thing the damage wasn't that bad, but I have to live a day without being online.
SIGH! I wonder what on earth have I done to get penalized this way... and I wonder what's gonna be the next.
Please... I have enough of these misfortunes for the brand new month of this brand new year!
ENOUGH!!!
