ITS RACING TIME AGAIN!

The world of Formula 1 is all buzz again with the return of the legend...Michael Schumacher, in 2010. A 7 times world champion is back on the F1 cockpit again and for me it means back to following the schedule of the races and being glued on the tv screen for hours. When he retired in 2006 i stopped following the races and would just watch for a short time if i happen to see it on tv, just enough to see who is leading but 2010 will be different i'm sure as my idol will once again drive, this time for Mercedes-benz. Whether REd or white and blue or whatever color he wears, Michael will surely win.

Hurray!

Choosing a President

What is import now in choosing the next president is not his/her flatform or his/her promises of what (s)he plans to do when (s)he becomes a president. We had a president who claimed to be the top of his/her class, a brilliant mind to say, but LOOK where that president led us. Not on top of the fast growing nation, not even just on the list of a progressive country. But we are one of the most corrupt country in the world. WHERE ARE THE PROMISES THEY MADE WHEN THEY RAN FOR PRESIDENT? DID THEY FOLLOW THEIR FLATFORMS? I dont believe so. What they say in the news is not what i see in reality. So this time, I would choose someone with INTEGRITY, MORALS and TRANSPARENCY IN HIS GOVERNANCE. These I believe will help us recover from the depth of poverty and corruption. So look deep in your heart and conscience and choose the RIGHT PERSON TO LEAD US.

Sipalay Magic

come and enjoy. This is Sipalay , another paradise.

where to go if you have visitors

Having visitors especially if they are family members is a happy time for us. It's the time to get reacquainted and to come up to date with the news that happened in our lives. Its the time to meet new members of the family by sanguinity or whatever .

Here in Negros Occidental, we are lucky to have beautiful sceneries to take our guests and i'm sure they enjoyed the places we took them too.

we took them to Mag-aso Falls in Oringao, Kabankalan, Negros Occidental





the scenery was perfect. the water was cool and free flowing. It was a nice respite from the sun





















next, we took them to Sipalay, Negros Occidental and there they have a blast snorking swimming,and picture taking.








































































next time i'll show u the picture we took in mambuccal.
you don't rely have to spend much to entertain your visitors as long as you know where to take them.

What ?

To the guys and gals who touched my life last semester let me say adiue and aurevoir. you made my life richer. hope our path crosses again someday and to the very huggable lady who helped me and them enriched their knowledge let me say THANK YOU and a big kiss to you. may you continue to impart your knowledge and skills to those who are willing to learn.

that's the problem with HELLO , someday we may have to say , maybe not goodye, but hasta la vista when our roads separate in the horizon.

till the next episode as they say and guys do keep up the good work and make us proud.

What an Experience!

I never thought it will be fun but it was. It gave me such a high, now I'm thinking of having one build. Try it and you'll see.

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.

I'm publishing this post so that you readers will have an idea and prevent delayed action when this happens in your family or to someone you know.

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.

Thank you

In life, we meet people who are there for us to help us in one way or the other. These people would just go on their ways after doing our favors. Happy that they were able to help, never thinking about "reward" afterwards. Yet, we forget to THANK them maybe because we are too busy, we take them for granted, or whatever reasons we would like to say but, i know it is nice to hear even just a small thank you so you feel appreciated. Besides it's a common courtesy.

So before I forget, let me say THANK YOU to NONOYM2, who is always a call away if I have a problem with computers and PRANING5254 who helped me create this blog and other things. Guys, a million thanks. muchos gracias, merci, danke, madamo nga SALAMAT.

See you.
