How do you keep your white clothes white

2010-01-28T00:23:00.000-08:00

I'm not really good in washing clothes that why I worrying how to our clothes white. I decided to ask an expert of course our mother right? She said that be careful NOT to wash anything colored with whites...synthetic fibers pick up dyes very easily. And if something does get dingy, a good soak in an oxygen bleach, like for 24 hours, whitens it right up. Clorine bleach is not bad....it can weaken fibers, so I wouldn't use on anything like fine table linens or cotton lace, but for white towels and underwear, it's find if used according to the directions. Mix with water and pour into the washer before adding the clothes and add only the maount called for by your washer's directions.

My Career Path

Two months from now is the fast approaching of our graduation day and I think now would be the best time of making plans for my career. After graduation if I will be able to complete my case before it approaches I plan to take the board exam on the month of July. Right after graduation I will be enrolling in a review center by April and I plan to take it here in Davao City. But if ever I won’t be able to complete my cases by March then I plan to take the board exam by November. And after graduation I will stay in manila for the summer. It will be good if I take a vacation before the review for the board exam starts. After taking the board exam on July I will to go to Manila by August and stay there with my sisters for 4 months. While staying in Manila and the result comes up and I receive my license, I plan to take some trainings and seminars there. By January 2011 I will be coming back here in Mindanao and I will continue to take some trainings and seminar and maybe become a volunteer. By June 2011 I will be applying in a tertiary hospital whether in Manila, General Santos or Davao City maybe. The salary that I will be receiving will be divided and half of it I will be giving it to my parents regularly and the other half will go to my savings. I plan to work in a tertiary hospital for 1 year and after that 1 year experience I plan to take the NCLEX. After passing the NCLEX I plan to apply for work in abroad in US maybe and while applying and waiting I will continue to work in a hospital to buy me some time of experience. Three years after graduation I assume that I am already a registered nurse who have undergone many trainings and seminars and also became a volunteer. And who have work in a tertiary hospital for 2 years and have passed the NCLEX. Also in this year I’m already applying for abroad and I’m just waiting to be hired.

I'm only read this career plan from one of the student in Ateneo. I'm really admired to the person who wrote this kind of career path.

Schizophrenia

2010-01-04T23:58:00.000-08:00

What is Schizophrenia anyway? I always heard about this word from the student of Ateneo near where I'm working. One student shared this to me:

Schizophrenia from the Greek word skhizein (split) and phren (mind). It is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a neuropsychiatric and mental disorder characterized by abnormalities in the perception or expression of reality. It most commonly manifest as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre dilutions, and disorganized speech and thinking with significant social or occupational dysfunction. Schizophrenia is a serious brain disorder that distorts the way a person thinks, acts, expresses emotions, perceives reality, and relates to others. People with schizophrenia the most chronic and disabling of the major mental illness often have problems functioning in society, at work, at school, and in relationships. It is a life-long disease that cannot be cured, but usually can be controlled with proper treatment. There are many theories about the cause of schizophrenia, but not yet proven. There are five types of schizophrenia the catatonic, disorganized, paranoid, residual and undifferentiated. Our patient suffers from undifferentiated schizophrenia which have the characteristic of positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia but do not meet the specific criteria for the paranoid, disorganized, or catatonic subtypes.

Patients with undifferentiated schizophrenia do not experience the paranoia associated with paranoid schizophrenia. Undifferentiated schizophrenia cannot be cured, but can b e managed with a cooperative effort. According google.com about 697,543 Filipino suffers from this disorder and at about 10 million around the world, mostly Americans.

We choosed this case because we as a group want to gain more knowledge about the said disorder and to know the different treatment, management and prevention. As a student it is very important to us to know the different management and intervention to be given or apply to a patient with this disorder because psychiatric patients needs extra attention and care unlike to the ordinary ward patient.

Sunday Night

2009-12-21T05:19:00.000-08:00

Last night me and my family sitting in sala after dinner. My mother talks about this coming elections that's why I open about the massacre in Maguindanao since my mother is never seen the news because our electricity is not yet okey ( hopefully we fix it before Christmas) .I told her everything about what I heard and what I read in news since I can watched tv on internet . Details by details from the massacre, 57 people victims and most of them are journalist. My mother didn't shock for what I told her, she already knew who are the Ampatuan's family. My mother said that they are the most powerful in the Maguindanao, they are the law in their place but my mother can't imagined that Ampatuan's not afraid to killed even journalist not only one but a 31 journalist . My mother hoping that the justice will be prevail even if the opponent are powerful.

Ex-Child Assasin of Ampatuan

2009-12-18T06:00:00.000-08:00

A man who admits to have worked as a child assassin for the powerful Ampatuan clan based in Maguindanao province came forward with "shocking" testimony of mass murders carried out by young boys in the service of the Ampatuan family.

"Abdul" (not his real name) told ABS-CBN News that he was 12 when Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Gov. Zaldy Ampatuan allegedly sent him on a mission to kill one of the family's political rivals—a councilor for Sultan Kudarat.

Abdul said he had been in the family's service since he was 10. The Ampatuans funded his education from 4th grade to 3rd year high school.

When the Ampatuans allegedly ordered him to kill the councilor, then 12-year-old Abdul did not disappoint.

" I was allowed to enter the councilor's house. I waited for him to come home. When he came home, that's when I would kill him”Abdul told ABS-CBN News in an interview 2 weeks ago.

“But I had companions. I was the only one who entered the house. I was in my school uniform. I would go in and out of places, no one would stop me.” he said.

As a child assassin for the Ampatuans, Abdul said he killed no less than 100 people.

Necklace

2009-12-17T06:12:00.001-08:00

Guys, please read this wonderful story about the girl who want to marry a rich guy because of her high ambition. She always dreamed to own a mansion, precious jewelries and expensive dresses. Here the story start:

“Mathilde one of the pretty girls in their place, came from a middle class family and have married an accountancy of her same class. She was always unhappy because she feel that she was intended for a life of refinement and luxury. She always dreamed that she would own a huge mansion, a enumerable number of precious jewelries and expensive dresses. One day her husband went home with an invitation to a ball, all the wealthy people were invited in the ball . Mathilde thought that if ever she could meet some rich in the ball and would ask her to marry her she would leave her husband. But Mathilde had a very huge problem, she doesn't have anything to ware so she ask money to her husband, her husband gave her all his savings and Mathilde went on shopping. On the day before the ball Mathilde again had a problem, a\she got nothing jewelry to ware, not even a single one. Her husband with no money left asked her if she could just borrow from her friends, Mathilde tried. Luckily her friend lend her a diamond necklace, just what she wanted.
On the night of the ball Mathilde was a success, she was the most beautiful women in the ball, all of the man would love to dance with her. She enjoyed all night without thinking of anything not even her husband. On the four of the morning Mathilde and her husband rode a cab to go home. When they got home Mathilde looked at the mirror, to her surprise the necklace was no longer in her neck, she screamed for help to her husband. Her husband immediately went outside in search for the missing necklace. But unfortunately the necklace was no longer in sight. They thought of replacing the necklace with one that looks exactly like the lost one. When they asked the jeweler how much the necklace cost it occurred that the necklace was worth four hundred thousand francs. They immediately went home and borrowed money to a couple of people. When Mathilde returned the necklace to her friend, she didn't recognized that it was a new one. Then they went home and calculated how they would pay their debts. They worked night and day. Rest was no longer a part of their lives. They have been like this for ten years. One day while Mathilde was walking she saw her friend and approached her. Her friend merely recognize her because Mathilde looks old and ugly. She narrated what really had happened the past ten years. To her surprise her friend told her that the necklace she lost was fake and it merely cost five hundred francs.”

I like the story because it portrays the Filipinos who marry foreigner just to change the status quo and get what they wanted and longing for, but not all but mostly.

Philippine troops kill one militant after jailbreak

2009-12-14T08:29:00.000-08:00

Troops hunting for dozens of Islamic militants who made a stunning jailbreak on a southern Philippine island killed one of the escapees and recaptured another Monday

The weekend escape was the latest in an upsurge of violence on Basilan island that prompted the local government to call on President Gloria Arroyo to implement emergency rule there and send in more troops.

Much of the violence has been blamed on the Abu Sayyaf, a small band of militants accused of carrying out the nation's worst attacks, and whose members were among the 31 prisoners who escaped from Basilan's main jail.

"(We need) a state of emergency, if only to finish this once and for all, to apprehend and prosecute all of these Abu Sayyaf," Basilan vice governor Al Rasheed Sakalahul told AFP on Monday.

"We need more troops in the province."

As he made his appeal, soldiers and police fanned out across Abu Sayyaf strongholds on Basilan in search of the escapees.

Two of them were cornered in a jungle area that is known to be an Abu Sayyaf hideout, sparking a brief gunbattle, according to Basilan police commander Superintendent Abubakar Tulawie.

One of the escapees was killed in the clash, and the other was captured, Tulawie told reporters.

Authorities said over 100 militants stormed the poorly guarded Basilan jail before dawn on Sunday to secure the release of inmates. One prison guard and one of the militant raiders died during gunbattles.

About 20 of the escapees were Abu Sayyaf members, according to Sakalahul.

But two senior members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), a bigger rebel group that has been fighting for an independent homeland in the southern Philippines, were also among those who escaped, Sakalahul said.

The MILF guerrillas had been jailed for their role in beheading 10 of 14 Philippine Marines snared in an ambush on Basilan in 2007.

Sakalahul said the MILF may have also been involved in organising the mass escape.

But the 12,000-strong MILF, which is holding peace talks with the government, denied it was behind the jailbreak.

"It is not the handywork of the MILF. That is very clear. The perpetrators apparently belong to the Abu Sayyaf group," MILF spokesman Eid Kabalu told AFP.

US troops have been deployed on Basilan and other parts of the southern Philippines since late 2001 to train the local military in how to combat the threat from Muslim insurgents.

But kidnappings, murders and bomb attacks have continued throughout that time, and there has been a spike in violence in recent months.

One of three hostages kidnapped by the Abu Sayyaf on November 10 was murdered last week, with his severed head dumped in a Basilan park.

The following day a college professor was abducted, and police again blamed the Abu Sayyaf, which is believed to have only a few hundred militants in total.

The Abu Sayyaf was also blamed for the beheading of a school principal on nearby Jolo island last month, just days before US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived in Manila to affirm security ties.

In September, two US soldiers were killed in a roadside bomb on Jolo in the deadliest attack on American forces so far blamed on the Abu Sayyaf.

Abu Sayyaf attacks have left at least 48 Filipino soldiers and 71 insurgents dead since January, according to an AFP tally based on police and military reports.

New Life

2009-12-14T08:17:00.000-08:00

I read this short story in her life when she's only 8 years old up to 14 years old. Here is it:

The next seven years of my life were mostly spent in school. Since I was young I loved the spotlight, the attention of my teachers and classmates whenever I participate in school activities. That’s the

reason that I love joining academic and extracurricular activities in school.

I have joined almost every club available and became actively participative in it. Them I was constantly appointed to being the officer- in class in the different clubs and even in small group activities. In other word I’ve always been chosen and trusted to lead the group. I enjoyed the privileged of being the leader; being the one on top, the one that every body looks up to, everyone listens to and everyone follows. At first I thought that being a leader was easy, all I should do was order people around to teach them what they have to do and just get the job done. Then a certain experience made me realize that leading isn’t as easy as what I have expected it to be. At one point in time I felt the power of being a leader, and that filled me in a negative way; I became too bossy, I didn’t mind what my group has to say or how they felt. As long as we got the job done and as long as we won the competitions at was all good for me. Then it came up, my group is no longer happy by my leadership. We had an open forum, that’s the time they were able to tell me how they truly felt. Then the one that struck me the most was when they said that- I used to be their friend, I used to treat them well, that I used to be a good listener, that we used to have fun, used to laugh together- that I used to have a good relationship with them, that’s the reason why they chose me as their leader. But I’ve changed in a bad way. I’ve realized that I was wrong and made an act to change all of that. I’ve changed my leadership style from an autocratic style; that acts in a command and control fashion to a more democratic style; where I encourage participation with an emphasis on both task accomplishment and development of people in my group.

I have learned that to be an effective leader I should be able to inspire others to work hard to be able to accomplish our tasks and reach our goals. and that leading is building the commitments and enthusiasm in order for my group to explore their talents and use it to our groups advantage.

Tribal Gunmen Hostage dozens of People

2009-12-12T03:56:00.000-08:00

The Mapatuan Massacre in Maguindanao in not yet been solve, the government did all their best to solve this case but now here is another problem that the government face it. Read this news :

The small group of gunmen raided a school in a small farming village in the Agusan valley region of the southern island of Mindanao on Thursday and took 75 hostages, including children and relatives of their local rivals.
Twenty-eight hostages, including 18 children were later freed.
"I outlined to them a certain scenario that would happen if they refused to release the remaining hostages," local social worker Josefina Bajade, the chief government negotiator in the crisis, told AFP.

She would not discuss details. Provincial government officials later met the most senior police and military officials of Agusan del Sur province here to consider their options.
The officials gave no comment but security sources told AFP on condition of anonymity that the use of force to end the crisis could not be ruled out.
About 400 soldiers and police have deployed in the area amid concern that the kidnappers would harm the hostages, who have been forced to sleep on the ground due to the primitive conditions there, according to government officials who visited the area.
The security sources said there were 19 kidnappers armed with assault rifles who were guarding 47 captives held in and around a hut in a clearing of a thickly forested mountain.
They said that while these people had not received formal combat training, they were convinced that the suspects would not hesitate to kill the hostages, noting that some of them have outstanding arrest warrants for clan war-related murders.
"There are 47 hostages still -- 45 men and two women," Santiago Cane, the vice governor of the province who joined the negotiator in her visit to the gunmen's hideout on Friday, when they also delivered food.
"We will continue to negotiate in the hope of producing results," he told AFP.
Bajade visited the gunmen's hideout in a mountainous area early Saturday but returned grim-faced in mid-morning, having failed to win the release of any more hostages after two successful visits that saw the release of 28 others.
Bajade insisted that the government had not set a deadline.
Authorities have identified the gunmen as members of the Manobo tribe, and said the abduction was linked to a long-running clan dispute involving another Manobo family.
Cane said the gunmen's leader, Ondo Perez, told the negotiator he was willing to end the hostage crisis if the government arrested his local rival Joel Tubay and his armed followers, who the official said also have outstanding arrest warrants for murder.
The kidnappers were wary of retribution against their relatives if they surrendered and the Tubay group remained at large, he added.

Cane said the two clans have a long-standing dispute over land that he said has led to several deaths on both sides.
The mass kidnapping was part of a wave of violence that has swept the southern Philippines, where Muslim and communist insurgents mix with warring clans, pirates and corrupt officials.
Islamist militants on the southern island of Basilan are holding three hostages after beheading another captive on Wednesday.

The sad story of young girl

2009-12-08T09:31:00.001-08:00

I read this sad story of a young girl. Six (6) years ago, when her dad left her mom for the 'other' woman. Her mom and dad had been married for almost 35 years. Her mom came home from work one Friday to find a note on the kitchen table saying that her dad left her and that he was sorry. She also found that her dad had taken all his stuff out of the closet and the medicine cabinet. Obviously, her mom was freaked out; the young girl helped her mom. The kid’s parents got divorced about a year or so after that fateful Friday. The young girl tries to talk to her father one time about a month after he left. The young girl have not talked to her dad or seen since then. So it’s been about 6 years since she has seen to her dad or talked to him who is really sad. She still closes with her mom however and she has made progress on getting over to her dad and made peace with the divorce. It was really hard on her.

It is really hard to a kids when your parents getting divorced, I'm really touch this story because I grew up in a wonderful family that's why I can relate this story, I fell sorry to those kids who are growing with a broken family.

God is Good

2009-12-03T09:12:00.000-08:00

What I can say about my God is, He’s the reason of my existence and He’s the reason of my everything. The reason why I am here is because of God. He has a purpose for me to be somebody and to productive in this world. He is a very loving God; he never failed to protect me from any harm, he gives me strength to do the things and strength to fight in the life’s struggle. He also gives me presence of mind in choosing mature choices of what is good or not. He also gives me wisdom to think of something that could help me as a person. And he taught me to love and share love for others.

God, the father is very awesome above all things. He guides each of us as we go on our life’s journey. Sometimes, he gives us trials to build us a stronger foundation and to test our strength. He understands and forgives us whenever we commit mistakes.

Some people do not believe in God. Some are saying that he doesn’t exist. I can prove that he exist because he showed the world his greatness that nobody can do.

How about you guys?

My kids

2009-12-01T08:04:00.000-08:00

I really like it when my kids singing. My son and my daughter sing together " Sampung Palaka" . They are both love singing that's why when we decided to play music in our house they usually sing or dance. My kids has the potential to become a singer or dancer someday I think. When they sing I decided to take them a video on my husband's cellphone but unluckily I can't put it here because my husband's cellphone need to install the driver for the software and I cant installed here because we don't have CD ROM. My kids love to pose in front of the camera or even in a video that's why it is easy for me to take a video of them together. After I save the video, we played and watched the video in the cellphone and see the outcome and it comes out really good. Tomorrow, I can spend more time to my kids because it's my day off and I like it. I will teach them more about alphabet, letters and their names, how to write and read and most of all we can play together. So guys, sorry for tomorrow if I can't update my " "Munting Payag" hehhhe :)

New Song for my Kids

2009-11-29T06:28:00.000-08:00

This morning I teach my two kids how to sing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star . This song is very familiar in all kids. I sing the song first and then they follow, while I'm singing they wonder why I stop singing in the middle of the song hehehe they I asked me why, I told them that I forgot the next lyrics hehehe. That's why I decided to search in internet the whole lyrics of the “ Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” .Here is :

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

When the blazing sun is gone,
When there's nothing he shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, through the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

In the dark blue sky so deep
Through my curtains often peep
For you never close your eyes
’Til the morning sun does rise
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are

Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are

Twilight New Moon

2009-11-28T08:56:00.000-08:00

I'm really excited watching the continuation of twilight because I love the story of being a vampire. My mother and I is really like the love story between human(Bella) and vampire ( Edward). Here is the summary of the movie:

On her 18th birthday, Bella Swan wakes up from a dream in which she sees herself as an old woman. She expresses her distaste with growing older than her boyfriend Edward Cullen, a vampire who stopped aging at 17. Edward's adoptive family throws Bella a birthday party. While unwrapping a gift, Bella gets a paper cut, which causes Edward's brother, Jasper, to be overwhelmed by her blood's scent and attempt to kill her. Realizing the danger he and his family pose to Bella, Edward decides to end their relationship, and the Cullens move away from Forks, Washington.

Edward's departure leaves Bella heartbroken and depressed for months. However, when her father, Charlie, attempts to send her to live with her mother, Bella agrees to spend time with her friends. After seeing a movie with Jessica, Bella sees a group of men who remind her of a time when Edward rescued her previously, and she is surprised to see a vision of Edward warning her against approaching them. Bella discovers that all thrill-seeking activities grant her visions of Edward. She also finds comfort in her deepening friendship with Jacob Black, a cheerful companion who eases her pain over losing Edward. When Jacob is unable to see Bella for weeks, she discovers that he is a werewolf, an age-old enemy of vampires. Jacob's pack members are on constant patrol for Victoria, a vampire searching to kill Bella, leaving Jacob little time to spend with Bella. Alone, Bella returns to seeking thrill-inducing activities.

A series of miscommunications leads Edward to believe that Bella has killed herself while cliff-diving. Distraught over her supposed suicide, Edward flees to Italy to provoke the Volturi, a powerful coven of vampires who are capable of killing him. Alice, Edward's sister, and Bella rush to Italy to save Edward, and arrive just in time to stop him. However, the Volturi decide that Bella, a human who knows that vampires exist, must either be killed or transformed into a vampire herself. Alice stops them from killing her by showing them a vision of the future in which Bella has been transformed. Once they return home to Forks, Edward tells Bella that he has always loved her and only left town to protect her. She forgives him, and the Cullens vote in favor of Bella being transformed into a vampire, to Edward and Jacob's dismay. Edward gives Bella a choice: either she lets Alice change her after their graduation, or, if Bella agrees to marry him, he will change her himself. However, Jacob reminds them of a treaty the Cullens have made with the werewolves: they will not attack each other, as long as the Cullens never bite a human.

The hand over took place after police and military personnel secured the provincial capitol of Maguindanao and the municipal compounds of Shariff Aguak and Ampatuan towns early Thursday.

Authorities said the local government compounds were taken over to assure the peaceful turnover of Ampatuan Jr. to Dureza.

4 other suspects in massacre named

Meanwhile, Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Ronaldo Puno on Thursday revealed that the entire Ampatuan clan will undergo investigation for their alleged role in the murders of 57 people, including journalists and supporters of a rival political clan in Ampatuan, Maguindanao last Monday.

In a press conference, Puno said that aside from Ampatuan Jr., the DOJ has listed four other people as suspects in the crime, including Maguindanao police provincial director Senior Superintendent Abusana Maguid, Shariff Aguak police Chief Inspector Sukarno Dikay, a certain SPO2 Bakal, and an Inspector Diobingan.

He said the four were implicated in the murders based on the statements of alleged survivors of the massacre.

Puno said Dureza had given an ultimatum to the Ampatuan clan to surrender Datu Unsay town Mayor Andal "Unsay" Ampatuan Jr. for questioning about the massacre or face the full force of the law.

Puno said law enforcers secured the provincial capitol of Maguindanao and the municipal halls of Shariff Aguak and Ampatuan and disarmed a total of 437 militiamen in the province to prevent further bloodshed.

No appeasement, negotiation

"There has never been any appeasement. There has never been any negotiation. The families of the suspect have been told what our position is on the matter. As an example, if Datu Unsay Ampatuan would not have boarded the helicopter to bring him to General Santos City and then to Manila today, the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police were prepared to take action and exert all physical force to make sure that the suspect would be brought to the inquest," he told reporters.

Puno said the Department of Justice (DOJ) will also investigate other members of the Ampatuan clan for possible complicity in the murders. "We have to address this crime very, very forcefully...That is not the end of the investigation until we find and bring to justice all of those who in one way or the other involved in the conduct in this heinous crime," he said.

Law enforcers on Thursday brought the Datu Unsay mayor via helicopter to General Santos City, where he will be turned over to Justice Secretary Agnes Devanadera.

At the start of the press conference, the DILG chief said the national government had to remain mum about some of the details of the government's investigation until after they were conducted. He said this included getting sworn depositions of four survivors of the massacre who were under the care of the Mangudadatus.

He said the National Police Commission has passed a resolution withdrawing the deputization of all local government units in Maguindanao. This means that the governor and municipal mayors in Maguindanao will no longer have direct supervision of police forces in their jurisdiction, he said.

"The general direction is to remove all policemen in Maguindanao and transfer them elsewhere," he said.

A local Army official, meanwhile, said the AFP has deployed one infantry battalion, one Scout Ranger battalion and two mechanized battalions to Maguindanao.

About the Massacre in Maguindanao

2009-11-26T08:35:00.000-08:00

I'm really shock when my husband told me about the news this afternoon it is about the Ampatuan massacre in Maguindanao. Here is the news from the newspaper: A witness in the carnage in Maguindanao that claimed the lives of at least 57 people has surfaced and claimed that he was merely “following orders” and identified Andal Ampatuan Jr. as the alleged mastermind, according to an article posted on the Al-Jazeera news website.

“Anyone from the Mangudadatu clan – women or children – should be killed... We don't ask why, we just followed orders," the witness who identified himself as “Boy” told Al-Jazeera correspondent Marga Ortigas in an interview posted on the network’s website Thursday.

“Boy” said that the orders came directly from Andal Ampatuan Jr., Datu Unsay mayor, and whose family was also an ally of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Ampatuan Jr. is the son of Maguindanao Governor Andal Sr., both belonging to the powerful Ampatuan clan in Mindanao. The younger Ampatuan was charged with multiple murder before the Department of Justice Thursday when he was surrendered by a member of his family to authorities. He was tagged by, among others, the wife of his family’s political rival, Buluan Mayor Esmael Mangudadatu, before she was killed last November 23, along with 56 others.

“Boy” admitted that he was one of the 100 armed men who stopped the six-vehicle convoy of the Mangudadatus who were on their way to file the certificate of candidacy of the Buluan mayor. Also in the convoy were Mangudadatu’s two sisters, two lawyers, and journalists who were to cover the event.

The group was massacred in a mountainous area, said “Boy,” adding that all the slain women were raped, and the journalists who were part of the convoy, also killed so that no one would talk about the incident.

The bodies of the victims were in shallow graves that were dug using an excavator, according to the report.

"Boy" said the whole process lasted little more than an hour before they abruptly abandoned the scene following a warning that members of the military were nearby, the report added.

"We didn't get to finish, which is why the excavator was left there," he said. "Someone called and said soldiers were on their way. I feel they have connections among the soldiers."

But “Boy” denied killing anyone, saying he just stood while the massacre was being carried out. He told Al-Jazeera that he was now in hiding for fear of his life.

Man On the Train

2009-11-24T08:40:00.000-08:00

Did you already watch the movie “Man On The Train” ? it's all about the gangster and a teacher meet and realize that each might have been better suited to the other man's way of life. Milan, a taciturn and tired gangster who hides a couple of guns and a violent past, but would like to settle down. Manesquier, a retired teacher who has never the house where he was born and dreams of adventure. Their encounter will allow them to exchange lives for a rare moment of happiness. Milan learned how to wear slippers, smoke a pipe and talk about poetry while Manesquier learned gangster tricks and how to shoot a gun. The score, mainly played by an acoustic country guitar, is here to remind us that despite being in the most boring French countryside town, we are indeed watching a western and that things will eventually unwrap in some kind of climax.

The film only vibrates when the two characters are together. While the spectator will certainly enjoy the contrast between the two characters and their way to exchange lives, it's the actors and what they represent that is the main piece here. This film, show us that even the bad person have a chance to change their life to be a good person.

What You Can Teach To Elders

2009-11-24T08:34:00.000-08:00

Have you ever been in a situation wherein you are left alone at home with your grandparents? How would you describe the experience? Typically, we teenagers would find it boring and uninteresting, yet we do not know that talks with our grandpa and grandma could be fun and sensible even for us youth. With more than just big hugs and wet kisses form our grandparents, we also usually receive clamors and dull talks about life lessons. But did you know that through these small talks, we can teach the elderly something from our generation? Yes, though packed with experiences, the elderly can still learn from us youth.

The youth can teach the elders the hip and relevant happenings of this generation. For instance, talking about youth activities with your grandparents raises up their enthusiasm and energy. Chatting about things like sports, shopping, fashion statements and the like, can really get them going. Old people tend to be more attentive than you think, a piece of information not common to us youth.

The youth can also teach the elderly how to live life once more, to revive and rekindle their lost feelings and emotions. Old people are stagnant in their stage of life right now. They are usually contented and happy about settling down, regardless of what is happening in the outside world. What we can do is very simple. We can play games with them, talk with them our own experiences. We must show them how to be happy in their perspective, so they can have a fruitful life in the coming years.

Impossible as it seems, old people cannot grow young. So it is up to us to show them how to enjoy whatever our generation has to offer. After all, we owe them our lives. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't be here in this world. So with all these said and done, let us be the teachers of this generation. Let us impart our knowledge not only to them coming generation, but also to the generations before us. Let us be the frontiers of it all.

I missed my Father

2009-11-19T11:07:00.001-08:00

When I was 14 years old, my father suffered an acute ulcer. I remember that time when my mother cries every time my father scream because of the pain. My father really look very old because of his illness, he can't eat more or even move because of that sickness. The doctor told us that my father needs more attention. When the doctor say that my father needs to take an operation because his illness is complicated but my father didn't want to go back in the hospital again maybe because he already knew that his body is already weak. My father's sister go home to take all the expenses for his operation after knowing that there is a miracle if he can survive in the operation. The operation is already scheduled but on that night my father didn't control himself to ate more than his regular meal, after that when he decided to take a rest he didn't wake up anymore. The doctor said that the operation is too late because my father can't wait on that scheduled because he surrendered. He died last March 05,1998.
