"Everytime i look at myself in the eyes, sometimes when i see it, I'm lost in my own eyes. Everytimes it feels like an ending for all, maybe its our day to stop for a moment to smile. This life is too short to cry."

Whether its about life or love nothing goes according to your plan; its best to give it your all and not regret it.

"There are things you can see more clearly when you're alone. And it's not so bad to learn from loneliness. The less you expect, the calmer your days are. It's painful to genuinely want something. But I'm not without desires."

G1-is 1% potential or false hope?

G2- If you think, "I have a whole percent" then it's potential. If you think, "I only have 1%" then it's false hope. What is this about?

G1- my crush.

Coronavirus Advice from Respiratory Therapist

BEST PROCEDURES TO STAY OUT OF THE HOSPITAL!!!

They are calling on Respiratory therapists to help fight the Coronavirus, and I am a retired one, too old to work in a hospital setting. So I’m going to share some commonsense wisdom with those that have the virus and are trying to stay home. If my advice is followed as given, you will improve your chances of not ending up in the hospital on a ventilator. This applies to the otherwise generally healthy population, so use discretion.

1. Only high temperatures kill a virus, so let your fever run high. Tylenol, Advil. Motrin, Ibuprofen etc. will bring your fever down allowing the virus to live longer. They are saying that ibuprofen, Advil etc. will exacerbate the virus. Use common sense and don’t let fever go over 103 or 104 if you got the guts. If it gets higher than that take your Tylenol, not ibuprofen or Advil to keep it regulated. It helps to keep house warm and cover up with blankets, so body does not have to work so hard to generate the heat. It usually takes about 3 days of this to break the fever. 2. The body is going to dehydrate with the elevated temperature so you must rehydrate yourself regularly, whether you like it or not. Gatorade with real sugar, or Pedialyte with real sugar for kids, works well. Why the sugar? Sugar will give your body back the energy it is using up to create the fever. The electrolytes and fluid you are losing will also be replenished by the Gatorade. If you don’t do this and end up in the hospital, they will start an IV and give you D5W (sugar water) and Normal Saline to replenish electrolytes. Gatorade is much cheaper, pain free, and comes in an assortment of flavors  

3. You must keep your lungs moist. Best done by taking long steamy showers on a regular basis. If you’re wheezing or congested use a real minty toothpaste and brush your teeth while taking the steamy shower and deep breathe through your mouth. This will provide some bronchial dilation and help loosen the phlegm. Force yourself to cough into a wet washcloth pressed firmly over your mouth and nose, which will cause greater pressure in your lungs forcing them to expand more and break loose more of the congestion.   4. Eat healthy and regularly. Got to keep your strength up.   5. Once the fever breaks, start moving around to get the body back in shape and blood circulating.   6. Deep breathe on a regular basis, even when it hurts. If you don’t it becomes easy to develop pneumonia. Pursed lip breathing really helps. That’s breathing in deep and slow, then exhaling through tight lips as if your blowing out a candle. Blow until you have completely emptied your lungs and you will be able to breathe in an even deeper breath. This helps keep lungs expanded as well as increase your oxygen level.   7. Remember that every medication you take is merely relieving the symptoms, not making you well.   8. If you’re still dying, go to ER! I’ve been doing these things for myself and my family for over 40 years and kept them out of the hospital, all are healthy and still living today. Thank you all for sharing. We’ve got to help one another. Declan Stokes Retired respiratory therapist

i thought i could stay at home for long periods of time as i age...the Covid19 quarantine has got me thinking about how prolonged "loneliness" can turn me into a nutcase without much effort...activating alternating states of manic-depressive, hysteria and melancholy in a span of 24 hours.

Crafty

as i get older, perfection becomes more of a series of temporal conditions within a continuum of imperfect settings. in order to get good at it, you need to quickly grab the most perfect of chances while swimming in the sea of constant change.

Baguio looks so much different

i have good memories of Baguio City when i was growing up. I dreamt of settling down and raising a family in the city. somehow somewhere along the way, it has lost its magic maybe because one or two of the most painful memories of my adult life happened in baguio. the timing of my short trips almost always come with an ache here and there. now, even the most tempting of all ukays fail to put a smile on my face.

on valentine's day

i'm not the roses, chocolate, stuffed toy type of girl you knew that from the start but i don't need these fancy stuff for me to feel that i am special to you i am easily fooled by elegant words but i would know if its real or not and if you speak from the heart i must admit i'm a bit envious on valentines day especially for people not afraid to say their feelings out loud to shout to the world and profess their love for that special one maybe because i believe in the power of true love and that everything else just disappears transforms your surroundings even in the most difficult situations when your heart speaks am i too old for this "love stricken" celebration called valentines day? i don't think so when love is true it defies age and time when love is true it can conquer the distance true love must never be kept hidden true love is triumphant true love is a celebration true love is felt between the spaces and commas of awkward jumbled words which too often has no meaning i wish to feel that on valentines day if its not too late. - valentines day 2015

hiram na mga salita

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz, or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers; thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance, risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body. I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way than this: where I does not exist, nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep. ~ Pablo Neruda

Stop Over

bilis bilisan ang kilos sampung minuto lang sabi ng kundoktor limang pisong barya para sa pantog na isang oras nang nagbabadyang sumabog pastilan, walang tubig. butil butil na pawis sa kumukulong tiyan tanging panabla ay ang ginhawang dulot ng mainit na instant mami isang hithit pa at muling pipitikin ang upos na tila hinigop ng hangin. huling lingon para kilatisin kung tama ang numero ng bus na inangkin bago tuluyang pumikit at muling managinip. 15 Abril 14

stare

how can you look and not see me? where does your eyes lead you when no one is watching? a sea of questions clouding my mind all that i've been wanting to ask but afraid because i know the answer i seek can never be found in your most blatant glare what you wanted to see was betrayed by your eyes.

morning walks

glitters on the pacific waters
scorch my heart like swells 
i could never fathom 
feelings buried deep in sandy shores
