It was more than luck that saved him from a deadly combination of hypoglycemia and mild hypothermia at high altitudes.

If you’re a mountaineer, you’ll understand what it’s like to be in Mount Apo for the first time. On that particular climb in April 2005, their group was supposed to stay for only three days. But feeling bitin, they’ve decided to stay an extra day. All 12 of them who went on the climb were all experienced mountaineers.


On their fourth day, they were scheduled to start their descent. Being allergic to chocolates, He didn’t take anything for breakfast, since his co-mountaineers made chocolate pancakes. Instead of eating, he went sleep until late that morning. When he woke up, he had a stomachache… he thought…. He’s just hungry… he took some bread, but the pain became intense, like he had a bad case of LBM…

Five hours into their hike back, his head started to feel heavy… he shrugged it off, thinking it was just fatigue. An hour later, he was having stomach pains, a headache, and nausea. But still, he kept on pushing because all he wanted was to get to the jeep that would take them back to Davao City. Five minutes before they’ve reached their pick-up point, he was vomiting heavily, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

The last thing he remembered is seeing the national rock and a small waiting shed along the curve. He put his pack of the ground and sat down. That was when he had convulsions and attacks, which he have no memory of.

It took a while for the jeep to arrive. His co-mountaineers said that he was unconscious for about two hours. He was breathing heavily, shaking violently, and uttering incoherent phrases the whole time. Fortunately, he was with the most competent mountaineers…

One was even medical student…. Immediately they warmed him up and massaged his lymph nodes and the pressure points in his feet. They gave him candy to chew and made sure that he was in a comfortable position, securing his head and his neck from impulsive movement. They also massaged some warming oil on his chest to keep him from getting too cold… Ammonia was also used to stimulate his senses….

A story that quit similar happened to me, though I’m not a mountaineer but wish to be one of them….I too experienced hypothermia which I’ve already posted… having such incident is a excruciating…. you’re body temperature will suddenly drop down to normal level… the frigid start from down your feet upward with involuntary movement of the muscles accompanied by severe pain…. But fortunately I’m still alive and I thank God for saving from such dreaded illness….

I wish you to comfort on difficult days,
gentle hugs when spirits sag,
courage to know yourself
humility to accept the truth
and love to complete your life....

In life, you can buy gifts but not love
you can fake a smile but not happiness
you can lie to others but not to yourself...
you can buy anything that you're eyes can see but not thy soul
you can buy freedom but not justice
so seek not earthly things, instead invest on your soul...
be humble in everything you do, speak, and think...

God's love is like a candle in the dard
no matter how gloomy your world may be,
just one little light of his love is
enough to bring warmth and light.
Many people will walk in and out of your life,
but only true friends will leave footprints
in your heart.... (Read more inside ..)

Last night March 12, 2009 the pilot episode of Qtube that deals with the binary world. I was entertained by the fact that they’ve featured interesting topics, but first I must congratulate the two host namely Andi/Andy their perfect duo and fit for the show hope they could give more insight about the digital world.

That’s un-cool you might envy your family who are in there comfort zone… I suggest that when they show a site which is very relevant to us(viewer)… they must give ample time for the viewers to jot down…

Most of us won't live 104 years, but we can learn form Tamer Lee how to enjoy each day that we are given

Laughter "a merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken" True happiness begins deep inside and emerges on our faces...

The Lord "The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom, and before honor is humility". When God is central in our hearts, He can teach us His way through every experience of life.

The Little Things "Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a fatted calf with hatred". Maintaining loving relationship and enjoying the basic things of life are more important than wealth and success.

Not all of us will live a long time, but we can all live well each day.... with laughter, the Lord, and the little things in life... (Read more inside ..)

December 18, 2005 would’ve been just another day for Germaine Santos, had it not been for that horrifying car accident that almost took her life. She was coming back from Tagaytay with her brother, mom, and the employees of her training company. As with any out-of –town trip, everyone was excited. They took two cars her brother’s Toyota Corolla and a Toyota Revo. She rode with her brother in his car together with Susan, one of mom’s employees.

It was about 3:30 in the afternoon. Along the main road in Tagaytay, they saw this white Crosswind coming from the opposite direction. Even from afar, they could see the car was coming towards their lane. Dino, her brother, is a very good driver, but they couldn’t avoid the oncoming car. They’ve thought the driver could be falling asleep at the wheel and then the Crosswind literally veered into their lane.

It was a small road, one that had only two lanes. There was a Volkswagen in front of them, which spun around twice when the Crosswind hit. They’ve thought the Crosswind would then steer clear of them. But the impact was so great. She was literally lifted off her seat and she had to push against the roof of the car to avoid banging her head. Thankfully, she and her brother were wearing seatbelts. They ended up perpendicular to the road. When she turned around, Susan’s head was sticking out of the completely shattered door. She was strewn on the backseat. Susan didn’t bleed right away but later on she would, from her ears. The car was a total wreck.

The accident happened in front of the house of a very active Seventh Day Adventist, and brought them to the hospital. The Crosswind was on the side of the road and its passengers also started coming out of the car, even the Volkswagen that spun with six Korean passengers, survived.

I’ve posted this because of a similar incident happened to me way back when I’m still in elementary, I’ve thought that’s the end of my life when a delivery truck of a will known brand of dairy products smacked me. I was walking at the edge of the road then I have to cross at the other side when I look at both end of the road… there was no vehicle at half kilometer so to my instinct I have to proceed and supposed to be good to go, but to my surprised I woke up in the hospital two weeks after the accident. They’ve told me that I am so lucky … who could ever thought that I could survived such a tragic because I was dragged by a truck 50 meters away from the point of accident and I was kneeling underneath the belly of the monster they’ve thought that I was dead but the doctors were amazed due to no major damages only a one inch cut at the upper right side of my head and bruises. God is so good to me that he give me another life and the company of the truck shouldered all the hospital expenses and even give me two years supply of their products. After that incident everyday for me is miracle and I thank god that he gave me other chance and maybe I still have a task to fulfill….

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

He who learns but does not think, is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.

The essence of knowledge is, having it, to apply it; not having it, to confess your ignorance.

To see what is right and not to do it, is want of courage.

A youth is to be regarded with respect. How do you know that his future will not be equal to our present?

If a man take no thought about what is distant, he will find sorrow near at hand

May God's love walk before you,
troubles stay away from you,
true friends stand beside you
and love surround you
may God bless you today and always

Someone is loving you
caring for you,
watching over you,
protecting you
Who?
Jesus who never fails

No one has traveled the bridge of
success without ever crossing the
sheets of failure God never
promised us an easy journey in
life only safety on board... (Read more inside ..)

Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without.

A man who has committed a mistake and doesn't correct it, is committing another mistake.

It is only the wisest and the stupidest that cannot change.

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.

The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his action.

I hear and I forget.
I see and I believe.
I do and I understand.

Master rapper “Francis M” passed away yesterday noon I was stunned by the breaking news from Eat Bulaga family that master rapper died of leukemia (Acute Myelogenous Leukemia with Mixed Lineage). Though he was diagnosed of such illness he fought back for seven dreaded months. Imagine how excruciating to undergo clinical procedures such as radiation, and chemo therapy, I.V. isertion plus the fact that having such illness has no assurance of alleviation. I admire him because of his accomplishment to the society… and always fascinated by his song such as “kaleidoscope world”… its tackles about how rude reality was…. not only here in the Philippines but also to the rest of the world…

Kaleidoscope World

So many faces, so many races
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half
Others grieve while others curse
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
Some are pure and some half-bred
Some are sober and some are wasted
Some are rich because of fate and
Some are poor with no food on their plate
Some stand out while others blend
Some are fat and stout while some are thin
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most
Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world
Some are great and some are few
Others lie while some tell the truth
Some say poems and some do sing
Others sing through their guitar strings
Some know it all while some act dumb
Let the bass line strum to the bang of the drum
Some can swim while some will sink
And some will find their minds and think
Others walk while others run
You can't talk peace and have a gun
Some are hurt and start to cry
Don't ask me how don't ask me why
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most
Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

To my master rapper farewell and it is the happybattle for everyone who have greatest crusade against cancer and my God abide you to the second coming of our lord… Hope that someday your dreams may come true that there will be no more iniquities in life… and that’s the promised of our lord…

What is Leukemia...

When we see men of worth, we should think of equaling them; when we see men of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves. (Read more inside ..)

In life, don't think
how much pain you went through,
but the lessons it taught you.
Not how much you cried,
but how much you smiled.
Not how much you are hurt
but how much you were loved....

Each day is an offering of love,
a gift only God can deliver
and the way we use each shining
hour is our gift of thanks to the Giver....

The shortest distance between
a problem and a solution
is the distance between
our knees and the floor
The one who kneels to the Lord
can stand up to anything.... (Read more inside ..)

Water sustains, nourishes and nurture life. In simple words water is the element of life, which is seventy percent of our body is composed of water. Life is so interrelated with water that you can write the story of man's growth in terms of his epic concerns with water. Water plays an important role not only in the process of life but also in the environment. Water is the symbol of change and journey but can be as deadly as fire. Water can pound rocks on a mountain slope, blow like a deadly hurricanes and tornadoes can pierce and cut like spears, water is healer too. Water can soothe, calm, and cool our psyche, but it can also kill, ruin or even put an end to anything. There's always a better end when you are in the middle of the oceans of your worries and trials in life. Water represents the power of the moon so vivid, calm, gentle and kind. But in can also be cunning, proactive and manipulative. It also cleanses our sins and brings us new life as used in the river of Jordan. It can wash away earth, put out fire. Water represent our innocence and true identity in life so fragile and unstable and yet see through abyss of your heart. It flows into your soul like the river that gushes forth into eternal life. Water is the chief universal solvent that can not be destroyed. It is unbreakable. It can not be cut into halves, It can not be pounded into pieces, yet it flows through anything. Water is the symbol of our very existence and the representation of the choices we make out of this life.... (Read more inside ..)

Every great deed starts from a single action. Every action is rooted in a motivation and every motivation is rooted in a conviction. Without conviction or faith in something true and eternal, no progress in whatever endeavor is possible. Let this saying be our guide, continue our journey for the transformation of the self, family, community and environment. Transformation requires conviction, commitment, and action which must start from within oneself and definitely the biggest challenge for us is to accept this mission of transformation and to have the willpower for its realization...
