Because of your love, love, love

Love, love, love, love

Stay with me forever

With me love, love, love

Cause we two are lovers

Let's live with love, love, love

Unexpected Wealth

Unexpected Wealth

          It was our vacation at my mother's grandmother's town when something spectacular happened to my life. I didn't know that that spectacular will shake my life. Even my family made a complex situation. How? It all started when I was dusting off the precious garage of my mother's grandmother.

Vacation in Care ( pronounced as ka-re), Tarlac City 

          Today is the day we're going to visit my beloved grandmother. I call her apu. I don't know what does that mean but my apu really like us her grandchildren calling her that. By the way, she's aged already. Well, my grandmother is my mother's grandmother. I expect that everyone will be shocked if they hear me say that my mother's grandmother is still alive and I'm not lying.  She's 102 years old. Lucky her. I want to live long like her. Based on my mother's stories about apu, she lived happily and still living with delight in her heart. She's really old and I am sad that the reality might hit me that one day she'll eventually cease. I love her so much. And I always anticipate on going to her house. This is it! My waiting has finished and I am going to see her now.
         
         When we got there, I saw the giant gates in front of us. It is rusted, some parts of it crooked but you can perceive that these gates had been through a lot. My apu doesn't have any bodyguards but she has maids and they are the one who opened the gates. There's no fountain or fancy car in front of the house but in the front wall underneath, there carved some historic events. Apu preserved those. She said to me that those carved events are really precious especially to their ancestors. Their ancestors are the one that is carved on the wall, I mean our ancestors. Then after that, the big wooden door which has aged too will welcome you. I still remember when I came here for the first time, I can't hold the knob because I can't reach it so I have to wait for my parents first to open the door. The maids are busy preparing to surprise us that's why no one was opening the door. 

          The house or mansion will not give you a spooky feeling unlike when you enter other old mansions. It has a friendly look in it and you will feel comfortable. As we enter the mansion, a feast was the first thing you'll see. The big table is pulling us over to munch the delicious foods it is serving. But of course, for me, apu is the priority even though I am arguing with my own stomach. I'm heading to the room of my apu. There's no second or third floor in this house. It is just a long and wide house. Then I saw apu's room door. Her room is the finest of all the room in the mansion. I knocked and afterward I enter. She knows that it's me when someone has opened her door without her permission. I saw her looking outside the window sitting in her rocking chair. Antiques are everywhere. From the beads she has received when she was a little and up to the bed her weak body she had and will lean to. I called her and she looked at me. Smile has drawn into her wrinkled face. Signs of aging are perceived in her. She's beautiful.     

             I said hi to her and kissed her. I call her apu while she calls me apo which means grandchild. " Oh apo, how are you? I missed you a lot." she cheerfully said despite having a raspy voice. " I am doing well apu. I missed you a lot too. Have you been bored without me?" I asked her. "Of course I am!. I've been waiting for you for a long time. The maids here don't really know how to entertain me unlike you" she answered. " What did you do then?" I replied. " I just sit here in the window and reminisce the time when we are together or when the time when I was a little" she responded. My heart broke into pieces hearing her words. " I'm sorry apu for not visiting you earlier. Tatay (father) and Nanay (mother) just won't drive onto you." I sadly mumbled. " It's alright apo. I understand you just please let's be happy today okay?. I might pass away anytime and I want to spend time with my favorite and best granddaughter first before that happens" she innocently said to me and I uttered angrily and pleading " No, no, no don't say that apu. I will visit you always I promise just please don't say that okay?" I'm almost crying but she just smile and told me this. " We don't hold our lives apo. We don't know if when our time is up but at least I know that I'm happy before I'll die and that's what is important. So before I say goodbye to you I want you to go to the garage and go to the lowest cabinet and there you will see a little door Open it you will see something in there. Please keep those treasures and if you want to use them when you're in need then use it." 

             That's the last things she said to me and then she went to her bed and sleep. I'm not sure if what she's saying is true but I want to check it. I went to the garage that night when all of my relatives and family have fallen into sleep. I turn the switch on and some unuseful stuff are stacked in here. I head into the cabinets and I found the lowest one. I slowly opened it but I heard some thud on the floor.  And I stopped waiting for the thud to come to me. It has a fast thud. A dog. It was a dog! Oh my goodness I was so nervous! It was just Bruno, my grandmother's beloved dog. After that, I continued looking for the treasures. I opened the cabinet and I saw the little door grandmother is talking about. I removed the metal that keeps it locked and there I saw a box of money. Old money. They are in a bunch and behind the box is a small chest. It contains jewelry but there is something more important than that. A photo.The photo of my apu and her husband, my grandfather which I didn't have a chance to see. I just heard him in the stories of my grandma and they really love each other. I teared up. The treasure is not the money but the photo. It is worth more than the box of money. This photo carries a million memories. And I am sure that I'll cherish it forever.

A Letter to Writer's Block

https://thewritepractice.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Writers-Block-is-a-Lie.png

Dear Writer's Block,

             

              It's not you, it's me. I am giving my full effort to extract something from my creative mind but you are just a hindrance. You are pulling back what I extracted and crushing it into pieces until it blows away. I told you it's not you, it's me. And it always should be me. I am in charge of doing my work and oh well, your job is to block me. Great!. Now, what do I do?. Such a nuisance. Okay, I'm trying to be productive and produce something that would satisfy my soul and also to my dear readers. I just can't believe you are striking me at this moment that I am in rush. I have to finish my story or else it will be a waste of opportunity. I am working on this story because, after a thousand years of waiting, a publishing company has accepted my story. I've been waiting for this and please don't ruin it.

              I know eliminating you will be hard. You're just a part of me and you're still not me, never ever. If only I can face you right now,I will really punch you hard until you fly to Mars and never come back to me. Can you see how exaggerated am I? That's how desperate I am to terminate you. BUT HOW? HOW CAN I TERMINATE YOU?. Gosh. I hope you see that I'm getting frustrated and you made it worse.

           
             Do you still remember the days that you are so helpful? When you know that I'm stressed up, you showed up. I thank you for that, genuinely. Because of you, I meditated and realized that I need time to relax too. That I have to give myself a break and plug out of the world. And by that, you have been helping me to find the best ideas for my creative stories. 

              You have been behaving well lately but you are annoying me today. You are so annoying, annoying, annoying, and annoying, and annoying again. Ha! Hope you consider me by this letter. Just you wait. I'm going to find a way to eliminate you. It's just only for a day so please consider. You wait okay? You really should.

YOURS TRULY,

UNBLOCKING WRITER

Annoying Orange on a talk show

The talk show is almost starting. Annoying Orange is the main guest. But before she goes to her own stage, she found someone to annoy. She said, “ Hey you snail!”. As expected of the snail, it slowly turned around to the Annoying Orange. “ Yeeeeees?” answered the snail with a deep voice and slow tempo. “ You really are a snail” stated the Annoying Orange. “ Ooof cooourse, I aaaaam. Neeeveer diiid I chaaaange” innocently answered the snail. “ You are so slimy. Leaving tracks on the floor and slipping people. Aren’t you disgusted with yourself?” asked Annoying Orange. “ Ohhh, I’mmmm not. I aaaccept myself and I knoooow theee staffs here knoooowww. And we have our utiiilityyyy membeeers hereeee sooo whyyy botheerrrr? asked back the snail. “ Oh my goodness nevermind” disappointed Annoying Orange.

After the conversation about the Annoying Orange and the snail, she was called by the emcee of the show which named Spidee and obviously, a spider.

“Please welcome the unique and one and only living orange in the world, Annoying Orange!!!!. Around of applause everybody!”. A loud cheer and claps are given to Annoying Orange. She is really a boastful orange. She is a popular one, that’s why. But little did she know someone created a prank on her. Since they know that she always annoys everyone and she is definitely a proud one of herself, they put a poop on the stage. Well, just a fake poop.

• Cardiac catheterization- it is when the sheath (short tube) is inserted in your vein or artery either in your arm or leg. Then, there is a guide catheter which is a hollow, flexible and longer tube inserted into the sheath. Using the x-ray images in the monitor, the doctor threads the guide catheter until it reaches your heart.
• Echodiagram- this is a noninvasive exam wherein it includes the ultrasound of your chest and shows your heart with a defined structure.

Creative Writing : Chocolate pool

Walking into a giant pool, I didn’t know that it would look something like mud. Where I was standing was slippery and lead to fall into the pool. It doesn’t feel like the splash of the normal swimming pool. Sticky and smooth. But it was dark. As I gasped for air, I drank the water. Guess what? Tasty. 

The soothing sweetness that I taste inside my mouth is addicting. What is this? I’m drowning as well as chucking the liquid sinking my whole body. The air was running out in my lungs. I flap my hands to bring me up to this stucking liquid. Difficult is the best definition while I was doing this. What’s worse is that I can’t see anything. Well, it looks like mud but didn’t expect that it would be gloomy down here. It was sticky and it took me longer to see outside world again. I filled my lungs with air. It was the first thing I do. As I calm down, I smelled the mud-like liquid. It smells caramel with sugar and honey aroma in it. Tasting it this time was different. It was really defined this time.

Creative Writing: Weather with You

As the coldness reign over this body, I own,
The grasses are covered with frosty ice in the lawn
The day hasn’t even started 
But I and the outlook are partnered

What I feel is what I see
The skies above evince me
Dingy transpireD and reached my heart
Rain is suitable for this art

Teeth out, wide smile
Eyes up high, rays are bright
This feeling could go a thousand mile
The sprout of euphoria has come to delight

Crystal tears in my eyes
Raindrops in the skies
When together as one, these form of water are indistinguishable
Both came out after all the lump of agony that weakens the soul

Weakening the soul, now it falls
Into the puddle of reflection
Neverminding to crawl
Cause everything broke down to a realization

I now stand up as the flowers bloom
Time to push the button of growth
This moment, feelings of mine will create a zoom
To what standing up means and renew to what my life has brought.

Cardiovascular Diseases

Of all the diseases here in NZ, cardiovascular disease is one of the most common occurrences to people. Cardiovascular diseases are also known as implications in the heart. It is either there is wrong with your heart or in your blood vessels that are responsible for carrying oxygen and nutrients to your body to keep it working.

According to the statistics of the website https://www.heartfoundation.org.nz/statistics (go check it out for more in for more info about heart diseases!), there are 186,000 people that are living with heart diseases. And there are many types of cardiovascular diseases. Listing:

• Coronary artery disease ( this is caused by atherosclerosis explained below)
• Heart failure ( mostly mistaken as when the heart stopped working but no, it is when the heart isn't pumping and providing enough blood and oxygen)
• Arrhythmias ( this when a person experience abnormal heartbeat, either fast or slow beat of the heart)
• Heart Valve diseases ( when the valves in the heart don't open properly which cause the flow of blood to be improper)
• Heart Attack ( this happens when the blood clot blocks the arteries and discontinue blood from flowing and the certain part of the heart muscle that's supplied by the arteries, begin to cease)

Most of heart diseases are caused by what we call atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is when the plaque (fatty deposits that are made up of cholesterol, fatty substances, cellular waste products, calcium, and fibrin) build up in the artery walls and restrain blood from flowing to the heart and brain.

Symptoms (fully credits to the website https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heart-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20353118)

Symptoms of heart disease in your blood vessels (atherosclerotic disease)
Cardiovascular disease symptoms may be different for men and women. For instance, men are more likely to have chest pain; women are more likely to have other symptoms along with chest discomforts, such as shortness of breath, nausea and extreme fatigue.

• Chest pain, chest tightness, chest pressure and chest discomfort (angina)
• Shortness of breath
• Pain, numbness, weakness or coldness in your legs or arms if the blood vessels in those parts of your body are narrowed
• Pain in the neck, jaw, throat, upper abdomen or back
• You might not be diagnosed with cardiovascular disease until you have a heart attack, angina, stroke or heart failure. It's important to watch for cardiovascular symptoms and discuss concerns with your doctor. Cardiovascular disease can sometimes be found early with regular evaluations.

Heart disease symptoms caused by abnormal heartbeats (heart arrhythmias)
A heart arrhythmia is an abnormal heartbeat. Your heart may beat too quickly, too slowly or irregularly. Heart arrhythmia symptoms can include:

• Fluttering in your chest
• Racing heartbeat (tachycardia)
• Slow heartbeat (bradycardia)
• Chest pain or discomfort
• Shortness of breath
• Lightheadedness
• Dizziness

Heart disease symptoms caused by valvular heart disease
The heart has four valves — the aortic, mitral, pulmonary and tricuspid valves — that open and close to direct blood flow through your heart. Valves may be damaged by a variety of conditions leading to narrowing (stenosis), leaking (regurgitation or insufficiency) or improper closing (prolapse).

Depending on which valve isn't working properly, valvular heart disease symptoms generally include:

• Fatigue
• Shortness of breath
• Irregular heartbeat
• Swollen feet or ankles
• Chest pain
• Fainting (syncope)
• When to see a doctor
• Seek emergency medical care if you have these heart disease symptoms:

• Chest pain
• Shortness of breath
• Fainting
• Heart disease is easier to treat when detected early, so talk to your doctor about your concerns regarding your heart health. If you're concerned about developing heart disease, talk to your doctor about steps you can take to reduce your heart disease risk. This is especially important if you have a family history of heart disease.

If you think you may have heart disease, based on new signs or symptoms you're having, make an appointment to see your doctor.

Creative Writing: Falling

Turbulence hits the plane I’m riding at. Panicking people are all over my surroundings. While me, I’m not into reality yet. The pilot said it will be dangerous if we will stay longer in the plane. We need to use parachutes to get down. Unfortunately, there were too many people rode in this plane. Parachutes are not sufficient for all of the people inside this ravaging plane. Any moment it will break down. I was not on the right mind, I jumped. 

Feels like I’m in the cloud nine. I don’t care for anyone anymore. I closed my eyes. Cherishing the tenderness of the clouds. The clouds are wooshing to my face and it feels light. I’m in a rapid fall. I don’t feel scared at all, in fact, this is exciting. I’m really not on the right mind. I’m going to die already yet I’m still thinking about these clouds touching my face. Afterward, I can’t feel the sweet touch of clouds anymore. I opened my eyes and I see those infrastructures on their miniature form. I’m flying. 

Any moment, I would fall to the ground. I spread my arms like wings. So this is the feeling of flying. The sense of freedom is all I can feel. Ironic huh. Freedom feeling eventually I would be dead. The buildings start to grow bigger and closer. Maybe I’m only 1 kilometer ahead from the ground. But as I observe to where I’m heading to, I saw blue. Blue? Why blue?. Oh! Ocean. I’m falling down to the ocean. 1 meter more. Then I splash to the water. The hard splash of water welcomes me. I feel nothing.

Joint Problems

Before I talk about the joint problems, I want to tackle about what are the joints first.

Joint is the attachment of two bones together. It is also called the articulations. Joints are helpful in our movement and stability. If joints rubbed into each other, in some point it would tear away. That's why our joints are covered with cartilage. It is the component that is tough but softer than the bone. Cartilage serves as the cushion, it decreases the friction from bones rubbing into each other.

JOINT

ARTHRITIS

Many people are experiencing conditions such as arthritis. Arthritis is a damage to the joints in the body. Joint inflammation is what its literal meaning which came from Greek.
Arthritis can affect anyone, young or old can have the chance of getting this condition. 

TWO COMMON TYPES OF ARTHRITIS

Osteoarthritis- it is when the cartilage tears away and the bones starting to rub against each other. The cause factors can be from:

• Fractures and infections
• Overusing the joints ( people who do ballets and are construction workers )
• Physical inactivity
• Obesity
• Injuries

Rheumatoid- it is an autoimmune disease wherein the immune system are supposed to protect the body but apparently, it is attacking the joints wrongly.

The symptoms are:

• Pain in the joints
• Stiffness in the joints
• Swelling of the joints
• More than one joint is affected
• Joints in the both sided are affected
