Creativity runs in our family. My mother is a retired preschool and grade school teacher and my father used to design or remodel cars or any vehicles in his auto shop. Of course, teachers dealing with small kids must be very artistic and resourceful in order to get the children’s attention. Designing or remodeling cars also requires a unique talent in art to do so. Luckily, my siblings and I inherited our parents’ talents. Since I was a kid, I had always loved drawing. I used to join in art competitions, poster-making contests, and cartoon editorials in our school paper. When I was in secondary school, I practiced drawing faces of real people using charcoal and sometimes, only ordinary lead pencils. Then, I tried painting using oil pastels, then water color, and eventually, I learned how to use poster paints neatly. I enjoy mixing different hues and creating a new color which matches my imagination so perfectly! I like to paint sceneries and flowers, but I find it hard to make an abstract painting. I also love to draw anime characters like Japanese Manga.

Nonetheless, I have not painted any portrait for over four years, not a single one. So, tomorrow, I’ll rush to the mall and grab a new set of painting materials so I can get started. I’d like to check if I still have the talent. I thank my friend for reliving my passion in painting and drawing again. He revived my passion in Art. Like what he said, I will not let the passion in Art die inside me.

Fertilization is the fusion of two gametes (egg cell from female and sperm cell from male) to produce a new organism. When the sperm cell successfully fertilized the egg cell, the product is then called zygote. Normally, fertilization in humans occur in a part of the woman’s fallopian tube called ampulla.

Fertility is the natural capability of having a child. Fertility depends on several factors like nutrition, age, sexual behavior, culture, timing, emotions, way of life, economics, etc. In women, peak fertility occurs two days before and two days after the ovulation phase of the menstrual cycle. Fertility declines with increasing age. Fertility in women declines after 30 while semen volume, sperm motility (movement of the sperm) and sperm morphology (size and shape of the sperm) in males decline with increasing age. Infertility is the difficulty or inability to have a child. There are many causes of infertility.

In Vitro Fertilization is the major treatment in infertility when other Assistive Reproductive Technology (ART) methods are unsuccessful. IVF is the fertilization outside the womb, e.g. in test tubes, petri dishes or beakers. This produre involves hormonally controlling the ovulatory process, removing egg cells from the ovaries and letting the sperm cell fertilize them in a fluid medium. Once the fertilization is successful, the fertilized egg (zygote) is then transferred to the patient’s uterus. However, the success rate of IVF varies with age. Babies conceived as a result of IVF are called test tube babies. The first test tube baby was born on 1978.

If an I/O Device Error appears on your computer screen upon left-clicking your Memory Card and you have troubles opening your files, you may need to format your MMC or SD Card. If you cannot format it on your computer, try formatting it on your phone or camera. But of course, the data in your memory card will be lost, so, be quick and clever enough to perform backup tasks before doing so.

However, there is a Memory Card Data Recovery Software that you can find on the internet and download it into your computer. I have tried it when I had problems opening my MMC files and it worked. The lost data were all retrieved. That’s one good news!

Then, if the memory card works good on your phone or camera, try to connect it again to your computer. If it yields the same result, an I/O Device Error still appears on the screen and you cannot left-click the memory card, then, there may be some problems with your Card Reader. The card reader may have corrupted the files in your SD or memory card.

Even if you buy a new SD or MMC and try it on with your card reader, you may just be risking the new SD or Memory Card and waste your money. The card reader may already be damaged, and if it already is, it will damage every card you put in it. Instead, buying a new Card Reader gets the problem solved. Period.

DREAM MATCH: Philippine Boxing Hero Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao versus The World’s Middleweight Boxing Champion Oscar “Golden Boy” De La Hoya held on December 6, 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is world’s most-awaited and greatest boxing fight of the year! Filipinos all over the world kept glued to their television sets and the internet to watch their National Boxing Hero’s most amazing fight.

People did not expect that the smaller and less popular Manny Pacquiao could knock the 10-time world champion out in just 8 rounds. Pacman had just proved to the world how strong, fast and powerful boxer he is when he made the Golden Boy De La Hoya quit the game after the 8th round. He left De La Hoya defeated with battered face and shut, swollen left eye. Pacquiao landed jabs more than twice of De La Hoya’s and finished the game clean of any cuts.

Despite of all the successive victories he had, he still chose to remain humble and God-fearing which makes him more than a legendary, most respected athlete. Indeed, Pacquiao is really a professional fighter and he deserves it all.

I made this inspirational poem for people to look on the brighter side and to appreciate the gift of life. Remember to appreciate what you have before it’s too late for you to appreciate what you had. Enjoy and love what you have now and live life to the fullest.

“Appreciate Life”

life is a precious gift not everyone can have,
some can live longer while others die young.
lucky are those who have sight of the world
for some develop blindness and others are born blind.
blessed are those who can spend time with their families
for orphans are deprived to have one and those who live alone.
be sorry to those who are unable to speak
for they cannot say the words they long to be heard.
yet fortunate are those who are able to talk
for they have all the chances to say “I love you” to their loved ones.

gracious are those who have the sense of hearing
for they can listen and sing along to the music that heals their souls.
blest are those with bright schemes and brilliant minds
for they are the ones more favored to walk along the roads of success and prosperity.
but happier are the poor and the average
for they can easily find felicity and contentment with just what they have and with what they can have.
pity to those who are sick and dying
for they are running out of time to pursue and realize their dreams.
blissful are we ’cause we are endowed with life’s best –
our families, friends, food, shelter and wholeness.

so, open your eyes and thank GOD you’re alive.
go around and see the BEAUTY of the world.
follow your DREAMS and realize them.
spare TIME with your loved ones
and grab every chance to say and show how much you LOVE them
before TIME plays with you…

live your life like there is no tomorrow…

We all know that English is the universal language. However, in Thailand it is a foreign language and only a few knows how to speak English. Nevertheless, Thailand’s Ministry of Education had already instituted the English Program as part of the curriculum in all schools from preschool to college. On the other hand, I came to Thailand not to study English but to study the Thai language itself which people may say “hard to learn”. And I think so because my sisters were already here for about 10 years but still cannot read or write in Thai. They only learned to speak the common Thai phrases. Perhaps, Thai language may be really hard to learn.

It was only two weeks past since I arrived in Thailand when my sister took me on an exclusive tutorial of Thai language. I was the first and only “farang” (foreigner) student. The rest of the students were all Thai natives who were also enrolled for tutorial in any other subjects.

Learning Thai language was tough but I really enjoyed every minute I spent on it. And unbelievably, in only 12 hours I already knew how to read and write in Thai which was very difficult and mind-twisting. It was really an amazing experience! I am very glad that I already have a third language. Nonetheless, I am not yet through with the whole course. The next level would be focused on speaking or conversational Thai and I am so excited for it!

Here are some links for foreigners who plan to visit the Kingdom of Thailand and for those who want to learn Thai language:

It is very important to know some first aid tips so that in times of emergency we already know what to do initially, especially if there are no rescuers and rescue equipment readily available. In all emergency situations, always remember to prioritize the ABC - (1) Airway, (2) Breathing and (3) Circulation. Here are some tips in positioning a casualty and their rationales.

In aspiration, the casualty should be placed in prone position with the head turned to the side in order to maintain a patent airway and to avoid further airway obstruction.

If a casualty is having dyspnea or difficulty in breathing, place him or her in Fowler’s position to allow lung expansion. The head should be in 45 to 90 degrees angle.

If a casualty is in shock, place him or her in Trendelenburg position. The body is laid flat on the back (supine position) with the feet higher than the head. This is to increase the blood pressure so as to counteract shock. In this condition, insufficient blood flow reaches the body tissues that may lead to hypoxemia (a lack of oxygen in arterial blood) or cardiac arrest (the heart stopping). If there is no immediate action, it can cause death.

Looking back to my college years, playing online computer games was my favorite pastime. PangYa, an online golf game, was one of the best games I had played. Playing PangYa was really cool and full of fun!

I thought golf in the actual setting is boring and is as simple as ABC. When I first tried holding a golf club and positioning myself to hit the ball like a professional golfer, I was scared like I wouldn’t want to play at all. The very thing that made it tough for me is the weight of the club. Because the club was a bit heavy, I was afraid that I might also throw it away as I hit the ball. Good thing because a friend was there to coach me. My first few strikes were bad and bunker but I recovered some of them though. And it’s sad to say that after my first golf tryout, I had blisters in my hands and muscle pains in my limbs. Bitter but I really had a great time on my very first actual hands-on at the TSR Golf Driving Range. Thanks to a dear friend, Kuya Jun, for warmly lending me his golf set and for giving me few tips on how to play golf the proper way. Now, I am looking forward to try another few rounds and I am positive that I will learn golf in no time. This is something new for me and I also want to test the waters.

To the golf newbies like me, good luck and strive hard! Let us welcome ourselves to the world of golf! Cheers!
