tina, me and tin gurl.

this is how i look 2 years ago. dang! that means its 10lbs ago! i badly need to get back in shape. i cannot box lately coz my right hand had an injury which requires me to have it x-rayed. But of course, blame it on my workload and my tendency to procrastinate, so there I still havent made that trip to the doctor. pft!

but i already found an alternative for the mean time. I'm going back to swimming lessons. yipee! this time its going to be in oakwood! hmmm which reminds me, i need to buy a new swimsuit, cap and goggles.

i know i still owe you guys the pangasinan pictures. sadly i still dont have them.

This is déjà vu. I would bet my finger that what follows will not deviate from the viscious cycle we have been so numbly accustomed to. I would love for you to prove me wrong this time.

Man is surely a curious creature! What he wanted so much yesterday, is something he really is afraid of today! – Daniel Defoe (Adventures of Robinson Crusoe)

I wanted it so much for as long as I could remember. In fact, I wanted it so bad that I inadvertently placed pressure on the other quite a number of times. My inquiries would normally start with a seemingly innocent question or remark insinuating that it’s high time to move to another phase. But now that the tables have turned, my biggest fear has come true.

I have a tendency to disregard the very thing I am insisting on having if it was given to me late. My father among all people could attest to this. Now, that the tables have turned and the other person is the one pushing for it, I find myself far from being happy. I know I’m supposed to outgrow this attitude, but somehow I couldn’t help but think that there’s more to it than just my attitude. I’m thinking it could be my subconscious, trying to warn me about the weight of my decision and the repercussions if ever.

Why does adult life have to be so complicated?!

~~~o0o~~~

so much for using the third person approach. hehe got tired of it actually, not only it is quite confusing to my readers (feedback from some of you guys) but mostly time consuming. instead of just using one stroke of the keyboard to say "i", i had to do three strokes to refer to myself as she.

So how are you fellow gods and goddesses? I for one have been extremely busy succumbing to my wanderlust. I went to the far flung Pangasinan – to revisit the hundred islands of which I first had the chance to see twenty three years ago!

Sorry no pictures yet. The one who brought the digicam hasn’t finished uploading the pictures.

We went to Big Brother’s house there. It was referred to as such since the latest edition (Teen) of PBB (Pinoy Big Brother) had some shots there where the teen housemates did scuba dive. Of all islands we visited the Marcos Island was the best, where there is the Imelda cave. (haha I know some people will react to this) We had a few minutes uphill trek on the island and then on the top there is an opening, somehow it resembles a volcano. The natives constructed a wooden staircase to enable people to go down the opening. The stairway is more than half the total height of the cave and then at the end of the staircase, we need to dive already. It’s like going inside a really small volcano where there’s crystal clear water inside. There were only 4 of us who were daring enough to jump. It must have been 10-12 feet. Just really scary at first but then after it, we all wanted to do it all over again.

I haven’t been to Boracay but as per Warren (one of my agents who had the chance to go there already), the sand is resembles that of Bora as well as the waters. It’s really clear that we could see the patterns of the sand underneath.

I got a natural high once again. The entire time I couldn’t contain my happiness, I was like a kid in awe of the whole experience. There’s really something about traveling that enriches one person. I don’t know, I just can’t find the words to fully describe it or to capture my thoughts about the entire experience.

I’ll post some of the pictures on my next posts.

astonishing!!!

who would've thought humankind will be what he is today - a quasi-god, trying to expound the fundamentals of the universe.

take a look at this article in msn today.

I am pregnant with twins and need to know if my babies can be one day older than the other? Can I have one baby by one dad and the other by another dad?
Not only is it possible for fraternal twins to have different fathers, it’s on the medical record books. This official medical term for this phenomenon is heteropaternal superfecundation.
The classic case was recorded in 1810 by John Archer, the first doctor to receive a medical degree in the U.S. According to Dr. Archer, a white woman who had sex with a black man and a white man within a short time of each other subsequently gave birth to twins—one white, one mulatto. Other cases have been reported since. And you thought this only happened with puppies?

Sperm cells can live inside a woman’s body for four to five days. Once ovulation occurs, the egg remains viable for another 12 to 48 hours before it begins to disintegrate; thus, the fertile period can span five to seven days.

Dr. Lawrence B. Werlin, founder and director of the Coastal Fertility Medical Center in Irvine, Calif., explains, “If the twins are fraternal, where two eggs (ova) are fertilized by two sperm and produce two genetically unique children, then one baby could be slightly older than the other. In addition, if a woman ovulates, releases two eggs and has intercourse with two different men, the eggs could be fertilized by both, resulting in fraternal twins with distinctive fathers.”

Historically, superfecundation has been difficult to prove, due to the crudeness of the blood-type testing methods. However, in 1978, Dr. Paul Terasaki of the UCLA School of Medicine reported in the New England Journal of Medicine that he and his colleagues had conclusively established a case of superfecundation using a sophisticated procedure called tissue HLA (or human leukocyte antigen) testing. Potential paternity-suit litigants, take note: This technique can also be applied to more conventional cases.

She realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can't ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older as you see the people in your life break one by one. You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if it's already happened.
