videophone

mom & dad brought home an acn videophone with a linksys router which took me ages to connect to the internet & figure out how it works.Basically, having a high speed internet connection is needed for it to work nice & clear, a router/cable or a DSL modem, a computer, and an

ACN phoneline (digital phone service provider). With this phoneline, you can call friends & relatives in the united states, canada, hawaii, unlimited...

The ACN phoneline comes with a contract for two years with monthly dues of around $30-40, it maybe cheap than using a phonecard. I've come across this magic jack which i think is much cheaper, it only charges for about 20$ a year (or so i've read somewhere, not so sure) just check out on their site magicjack. A friend is using the magic jack & she told me it has no video features, unlike the acn videophone.With lots of techies & gadgets coming out where can we really save moolah?

BACKPACK PROJECT 09

A balikbayan friend (whom i haven't met but have known only in FS) humbly visited me while she was on vacation.

She's an aunt of bro's friend, based in sacramento california, she told me about an outreach program(BACKPACK PROJECT)organized by natives of Urbiztondo and are based in different parts of the globe, what they do is that they pledge a certain amount & use it to buy backpacks for distribution to some elementary schools here in Urbiztondo.

A batchmate was one of them,(and of course my newfound friend by the name "ginang") and I kinda felt proud, hehehe. While viewing their site, pangasinan.org its quite hard not to feel some kind of relief especially when all you see are smiling faces.

"aray imis ya makapaliket, tasar tan lapis daray kalangueran"

complete set of backpacks brought this smiles

fellow "kabaleyans" you can visit and view the site, there are still upcoming projects being organized.

FAMILY FIRST....

Have you ever wondered how powerful thoughts could be?

Few years back, my thoughts were exactly concentrated on being with my family, persistent, predominant thoughts while I was away & earning for a living

I had to face difficult times & moments of loneliness.

Thoughts which are so powerful and can truly manifest

Can even stressed out ones’ self

Years of turmoil and incessant thoughts of going home, I opted to end my agony. So, despite good working conditions, had to quit a reliable job, & face the reality of losing an income, I’ve decided to go home and be with my loved ones.

In exchange for family, and pleasant shifts of thoughts…

Stable job is gone (nice colleagues)

Fulus is gone (Arabic word for money)

The gnawing heat is gone

arabs are confined to their homes between 12 noon - 4pm especially the women & children, during these hours the heat of the sun is intolerable. office hours in the morning is usually from 8-12 then back at around 4pm - 8pm, you can hardly see an open shop between 12-4 except of course for hospitals and shops in some cities, but basically the sun is avoided.

The Lebanese shawarma is gone (finest shawarma I’ve tasted).

Variety of food during Ramadan is truly missed, I’m thinking of making a homemade “falafel” (Egyptian falafel is very delicious, I love eating the crunchy part hehehe)

My penchant for buying perfumes are gone [huhuhu]

(used to buy a bottle if i have extra money)

this is the last bottle i bought by clinique

and im dying to have this

My barbican days are over

barbican is a non-alcoholic beverage that ladies could have, comes in 6 flavors, raspberry[yum yum] & lemon [ triple yum] is what I usually buy,…wont even cause a mild headache, even a dozen bottle consumed. Liqours and wine are prohibited in the middle east.

Work enhanced body exercise are over

now I’m gaining belly fat (huhuhu) used to lose weight from doing rounds in the ward, while attending to my patients And I don’t even have this bulges before that I have now

Gone are the jokes, laughter & Arabic lessons that patients & friends share.

this is the fun thing when working outside home country & learning new language & culture, we get to adapt and intertwine ourselves in an unimaginable funny situation)

Now, I’m with my family (exactly my thoughts few years back, the way I wanted)

Such is the power, Now I’m using the power again, but this time…

its hard to tell

thoughts of…………………

could bring me somewhere, I’ll never know

Those who (by chance) have laid eyes on my visibility in Friendster circuit of friends, (old and new) relatives, colleagues and recently discovered acquaintance may also have perceived the remarkable video of LEE THOMAS

Luckily, I have come across his video from the very much patronized YOUTUBE, and having to view somebody with the same anguish in life, mean so much to me.

Outdoors never has been my forte, but of course it doesn’t mean that going out never pleases me, it’s just that, it didn’t prove to be a strong point in me. Having been a bookworm in my early years, and preferring a solitary confinement with paperbacks, somehow, has been a blessing in disguise and a sanctuary.

For quite sometime now, a thousand reflections and recurring thoughts of “WHY ME?” has been boggling my mind. But despite it all, still the divine influence and a million reflections on God’s healing power lives on. Having it doesn’t mean I’m doom-laden, as LEE THOMAS quoted, “we have a right to the sunshine just like everybody else”

Its harsh being in a situation where people ask you about matters where you cant’ make yourself be understood, especially for the young minds who (still) can’t grasp the mystery and puzzling queries of this world.
