Mi Choza De Nipa

This morning, I had the chance, or so to say, a better and clearer idea, of what it is being blind. While taking a bath, I closed my eyes to prevent the lather from going in. I kept my eyes closed the whole time I was rubbing my body. Although I can’t see a thing, and the vision was nil, it was as if I can see exactly what is happening as I rub my arms, my legs, my back, and my toes. In my mind, I can “see” how all these are happening. I was thinking, then I understood. The eyes doesn’t have anything else on sight. And rightly so, since 80% of the information that our brain receives is coming from our eyes. And if our brain can process a billion different data any moment, then a little calculation will help us:   With our eyes, we come to process 1,000,000,000 x 80% = 800,000,000 data. The remaining 200,000,000 comes from the other senses.   If that 80% portion is shut off, imagine how much focus it adds! ...

The news last night indicated that there were products recall , specifically for children’s garments , after an incident of a kid’s pajamas burning , causing burns on the small child’s arms and legs. This was in New Zealand . Now , products from CRP are banned in Europe . And this phenomena is spreading across the globe. In the Phils , including even feeding bottles , specially the nipples , these are found to also have a high content of hazardous chemicals. CRP is using formaldehyde and another hazardous chemical. Textiles included. For infants , the use of such contaminated materials will cause problems on liver , kidney , and genetics. An expert stated that boys become a bit feminine , while girls become a bit masculine. And the effects on the liver and kidney are lifelong. And many , many accounts of such incidents are being broadcasted daily.   Up to now , I’m just wondering what WHO is thinking? This...

The news last night indicated that products somewhere in Europe were recalled due to poisonous substances/chemicals used in the manufacture of such items. And these products are made where? None other than the giant country CRP. They are standing up to their reputation. And guess what? The MNCs may yet think of pulling their business out of that cheap-labor-big-profit country – the damage is more than the supposed gain if wrought out of that place. For months , this has been the unfading scenario during newstime , and it is simply an indication of the infamous and unscrupulous ways that these race of yellow-skinned people do their dealings. History confirms this , as has been recorded in our books and study materials , to name a few. And it may be a good news for other countries in the SEA region – once business is pulled out from that country , it will be diverted to other cheap-labor-big-profit fabrication site , and of cours...

After gone through some experiences and learning processes, I can say that my disposition in life has changed. 1.        When I see somebody very aggressive, I’d think that that person hasn’t been into some big challenges yet. 2.       When I see somebody very idealistic, that person hasn’t been around real people and real situations, yet. 3.       When I see somebody very high-faluting, that person hasn’t been down and out, yet. 4.       When I see somebody very stingy, I know for certain that that person hasn’t experience begging, even just for the next meal. 5.        When I see somebody stiff-necked, that person hasn’t gone through a humiliating and humbling experience. 6.       When I see somebody bragging, that person hasn’t really accomplished much, and ...
