Death of a Loved One-”I’m leaving”


Death experienced is a very painful experience.

It is common to see the loved ones of the person who just passed away, mourning and crying all tears at the funeral in front of the casket of the person who left them. They are in full misery, out of loved to the person who just died. They are missing the happy moments with him and everything around him. Whatever the relation they have to the person a wife or husband, father, mother, son, daughter or whatever, it is really painful specially when you have a long time of togetherness and bonding. Specially when the person is of good character even neighbors mourns for his death.

A loving husband so dear to his wife and children brings sorrows and pain to the ones being left behind and it will takes time to heal the pain. A responsible father, a good provider, a counselor and a good husband will be remembered by all the rest of his family. He did not bring any problems at home but instead he takes all the responsibility and give solutions to all members and kin. Everyone is proud for him and every good deeds he made was always praise at his wake, everything, his achievements, everything.

“Is daddy in heaven?” A tearful question of a young girl address to her mother.

The pain of death of a loved one is understandable, but do we ever think of the situation of the one who died? Yes, maybe at the time of his death bed, dying from a painful disease we can see or imagine his pain. But do we ever think of the pain while leaving your loved ones? Let put ourselves to the “one” leaving our loved ones, to the one dying…….

For Adults Only? Cycle3-next level


Enjoy life while young….the question is, it is enjoyable?

People of an early age get to enjoy life to the fullest, they can eat anything they want, they can drink sky is the limit and have sex till they last drop. They can party all night and enjoy their favorite sports with less exhaustion and their energy back the next day. Young queer ones explore new adventures with drugs, smoking and alcohol but ignorance is no excuse, these stuffs for sure limits life’s extension.

Aging people try to extend their desire to enjoy or rather they try to extend being young for the reason of enjoyment, insecurities and frustrations. As men suffers erectile dysfunction, women has menopause stage. This is how the “ripe” faces old age problem, but they still find solutions to these. Viagra is one, hormones injection and other options. Women take advances of the high technology of cosmetics to erase wrinkles, face sagging and every signs of aging that manifest on their face. They now attend to their fitness to maintain their attractive sexy figures afraid of being left behind. Their enjoyment to eat they can is limit and minimize because of their aging situation.

Old people must or they do realized that their time limit is now set….set to the next level? Whether one likes it or not, there is no matter of choices, it is bound that the next thing to old age is dead(another blog).

I just want to express the thoughts of old age and its miseries. Do we have to wait for this time to come where we can not cope to it or make a prompt before we age? Do we need to experience wanting to enjoy but our body cannot? Old peoples mind has still the strong urges to enjoy(sex) but their body cannot react to it. Do we need to experience living in the home for the aged, alone? Just left alone thinking of the good or bad memoirs in the past. Do we need to experience lapses of memory before we can remember Our Father, A Savior or a merciful God, who is just waiting for us to approach Him and ask help or forgiveness, probably before we go old.

We must prepare ourselves by knowing that time is one factor in life that we cannot retrieve. The memories of an old man is the one left enjoyable to him and the same time is painful. Let us not waste the time of being young and energetic. “Human life is meant for thoughtfulness”.

For Adults Only? Cycle 2

Cycle 2

When the sperm enters the fallopian tube, it dies because it is alienated to it, it is not the compatible domain for them. It becomes toxic and secretes poison to the mother and must under go a major operation to remove the fallopian tube.

It takes more than 36 weeks to complete the development from fetus to a fully grown baby. Science has its researches and the scriptures tells it. When the tiny human comes out of the womb, it cries, it is alive and kicking and the mother was joyful. It takes time till he crawls, sit, mumbles words and walk. As he grew up, he passes again different stages, the age of puberty, adolescent stage until he develop into a full grown man or woman. The body undergoes different changes as it grows just like a butterfly that started from a cocoon or a frog from a tag pole.

As time goes, he was now attracted to the opposite sex, got married and build his own family and have children of his own. (Not to speak of the engagement in life,upbringing, education, work, and other social problems, it’s another series of post) And his children begets children too.

Now this is cycle 3, he is now an adult and aging. Old age limits one’s propensities, sight becomes poor, a need of hearing aid and viagra at night. Old people becomes aware of their diet. They cannot eat all what they want like in the younger days. The are limit to eating lots of fruits and vegetables now, no alcohol, not even moderate and no smoking. The erectile dysfunction is visible and a need for more walking and excersises.

Scientist research for the “fountain of youth” was a total frustration. One cannot enjoy life at an aging stage. The mind is very eager and desirous to enjoy but the body cannot. We can slow down old age but we cannot stop the next cyle.

One of my taichi teacher told me that taichi is not for old people but rather it is for young, because it effects the whole body as a whole to slow down aging. It affects the circulation of blood, the air we breath in and our energy retains. Taichi has an innumerable effect to the practitioner.

Do we need to reach this stage and start to ascend back? Well it is better late than never or what the hell about it, we will all get old and die. Enjoy life while young……to be continued

For Adults Only?

At start up.

“Life begins at 40″? Well, life begins when tiny sperms race to the fertile grounds inside the womb, it begins during conception. When these sperms touches this fertile ground, life begins. Just like a seed that touches the ground, goes underneath and watered, the seed grows into a seedling.

The pros & the antis of the society debate on this. The anti-abortion is the pro-life while the pro-abortion is anti-life(sounds strange). The pros think that the baby in the womb is not yet living or no life at all or should they say that “it”, the baby is not consciousness until it comes out from the womb, then “it” is alive.

The antis or the pro-life states that the baby inside the womb is alive, it grows day by day, week by week, and months. Science proves these cycles of growing while inside the womb, the growing of nails, eyes, hairs and sexual organs. When the sperms landed to a place called the fallopian tube, the sperms dies and become toxic and kills the mother within 24hrs.

ONE LOVE


This is a tribute to the "master rapper", Francis "Kiko" Magalona, an artist, a photograher and a nationalist. He passed away at the age of 44 last March 6 after battling leukemia since august of last year. He left behind 8 children and wife Pia.

He was a great composer and singer. He expressed his nationalism via his songs and he led young fans to it. "He was a good friend", this is how his friends in the music industry described him as well as the media people and the close people he worked with in shows, movies and music. He was loved by his fellow musicians because he was a real artist with no-nonsense voice from his lyrics. "He was a good man", this is how the people from politicians to actors and media networks described him because he works and communicate well.

But most of all he was a good father, husband and family man. I once saw an article of him and his family way back years ago were his siblings was only 6. It describes his way of life inside his home, a loving wife and happy children. As his body rest for days at the funeral parlor, tens of thousands of admirers view his remains including ex-president Aquino and ex-first lady Imelda Marcos and innumerable artists from both music and film industry.

At the eulogy, i am touch from the speech of Francis' children, and thats where i heard "One Love". Francis "Kiko" Magalona was the "Master Rapper" it is but for me he is a loving father and a real good man for preaching one love to his children. I wish all father would be, including me. CHEERS to FRANCIS M.
