I must be CRAZY!
Kart racing or karting is a variant of open-wheel motor sport with simple, small four-wheeled vehicles called karts, go-karts, or gearbox/shifter karts depending on the design. They are usually raced on scaled-down circuits. Karting is commonly perceived as the stepping stone to the higher and more expensive ranks of motorsports.
Karts vary widely in speed and some (known as Superkarts) can reach speeds exceeding 160 mph (250 km/h)[1], while go-karts intended for the general public in amusement parks may be limited to speeds of no more than 15 mph (25 km/h). A KF1 kart, with a 125 cc 2-stroke engine and an overall weight including the driver of 150 kilograms has a top speed of 85 mph (140 km/h). It takes a little more than 3 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph with a 125 cc shifter kart (6 gears), with a top speed of 115 mph (185 km/h) on long circuits.
Now i understand why some people, adult or young, are crazy about this sport. It indeed gives you such adrenaline rush you will go back to it. I know how to drive but I'm not crazy about it. Its fine by me if someone else drives but having tasted driving a home made kart, our group is now thinking/planning of building 1 or 2 karts. Hahaha. You may think of us crazy but i challenge you to drive one, I bet you'll love it too. We're just provincial folks, we don't have the facilities of a racing track as sleek as those you see in metro urban places. We make do with what we have. But we know how to enjoy to the max. Who knows the kid in the imageloop may become an A1 driver someday.

Stroke Warning Signs
If you notice one or more of these signs, don't wait. Stroke is a medical emergency. Call 9-1-1 or your emergency medical services. Go to a hospital right away!
Heed the warning signs of stroke:
Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body
Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
Sudden, severe headache with no known cause
Be prepared for an emergency.
Place the telephone numbers of the hospital or emergency services next to the telephone and in your pocket, wallet or purse with the name of the person you want to be notified.
if you're not capable of driving yourself to the hospital, call someone who could take you there.
Don't delay!
Not all the warning signs occur in every stroke. Don't ignore signs of stroke, even if they go away!
Check the time. When did the first warning sign or symptom start? You'll be asked this important question later.
Friends, relatives, or whoever, if you see some one with these signs please take them to the hospital right away.Dont take their denial or NO. Act fast and bring them to a hospital or emergency facility. It is better to be safe than sorry.
For stroke information, call the American Stroke Association at 1-888-4-STROKE or log on to their Web site www.americanheart.org
PREVENTION IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN CURE!
a cousin was brought to a hospital yesterday afternoon because of stroke. He denied feeling anything out of ordinary but someone who lives in the same house claimed he already experienced numbness in his right arm the night before the incident. Surely a warning sign but he chose to ignore it. Early evening yesterday, when his BP went down to 180/110 we opted to transfer himm to a medical center in bacolod city. i dont know the ctscan result at this time but i'm glad that before he left our place he was already awake, oriented and conversant although we had trouble understanding him because of his slurred speech. Will go to visit him tomorrow.

GOODBYE
A friend passed away yesterday because of a gunshot wound. It's so sad because she was still young. I'm sure the bullet was not intended for her and the shooter probably regrets the act but then its done.
A lot of friends and co-workers cried for her. She with a smile for everybody, she who could withstand the flow of many patients without a sneer or frown on her face.
She was lovable, funny, smart, and likable. A lot of people would surely miss her, i would miss her because she makes the hospital lively with her presence.
Its never easy to say goodbye to a friend, a love one or anybody who we knew but life has a way of snatching us from this world, sometimes with out notice but maybe it is the best time for us to go we just don't know it. Still we live on the hearts of those we leave behind and in that small way we continue to live far beyond our lifetime.
so i say, au revoir my friend. i'm glad i met you coz you made me a better person just by watching and knowing you.
