Gotta be Somebody

Published by ronald24 under love.... and tagged:

This time I
wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren’t enough
So I’ll be waiting for the real thing.
I’ll know it by the feeling.
The moment when we’re meeting
Will play out like a scene straight off the silver screen
So I`ll be holding my breath
Right up to the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I’ll spend forever with

`Cause nobody wants to be the last one there.
‘Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There`s gotta be somebody for me like that.

`Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
and everyone wants to know they’re not alone.
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere.
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there.

Tonight out on the street out in the moonlight
and damn it this feels too right
it’s just like Déjà? Vu
me standing here with you
so I’ll be holdin`my breath
Could this be the end?
Is it that moment when
I find the one that I spend forever with?

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
‘Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There’s gotta be somebody for me like that.

`Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
and everyone wants to know they’re not alone.
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there.

You can’t give up!
When you’re looking? for a diamond in the rough
Because you never know when it shows up
Make sure you’re holdin` on
Cause it could be the one, the one you’re waiting on

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there.
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There has gotta be somebody for me
Ohhhhhh.

Nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they’re not alone.
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There `s gotta be somebody for me out there.

Nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There has gotta be somebody for me out there.

Ang Cellphone at ang Bible

Published by ronald24 under Religion

Ang Cellphone at ang Bible
Ang cellphone laging hawak ipinapakita,
Ang Bible laging nakatago at ayaw ipakita.
Ang cellphone binibili kahit libo-libong halaga,
Ang Bible ayaw bilhin, kahit isang daan ang halaga.
Ang cellphone laging pinapalitan ng case,
Ang Bible hindi man lang mabilhan ng case.
Ang cellphone ay ayaw magasgasan,
Ang Bible hinahayaang maalikabukan.
Ang cellphone bihirang makaligtaan kung saan iniwan,
Ang Bible madaling makaligtaan kung saan naiwan.
Ang cellphone mahirap ipahiram, baka masira,
Ang Bible madaling ipahiram, kahit mawala.
Ang cellphone laging binabasa kung may bagong message,
Ang Bible hindi binabasa kaya hindi makita ang message.
Ang cellphone message masarap i-share.
Ang Bible verse nakakalimutang i-share.
Ang cellphone pinapakita ang lifestyle ng tao,
Ang Bible nagpapabago ng lifestyle ng tao.
Ang cellphone mabilis maluma,
Ang Bible hindi naluluma.
Ang cellphone message kung minsan ay late,
Ang Bible laging on time ang message.
Ang cellphone kailangan magload para mag-message,
Ang Bible laging fully loaded ang message.
Ang cellphone ay mahalagang gamit ng tao,
pero ang Bible ay mas mahalaga kung gagamitin ng tao.

Ang ganda di ba? San ka pa?

Stigmatized

Published by ronald24 under Uncategorized

If I give up on you I give up on me
If we fight what’s true, will we ever be
Even God himself and the faith I knew
Shouldn’t hold me back, shouldn’t keep me from you

Tease me, by holding out your hand
Then leave me, or take me as i am
And live our lives, stigmatized

I can feel the blood rushing though my veins
When i hear your voice, driving me insane
Hour after hour day after day
Every lonely night that i sit and pray

Tease me, by holding out your hand
Then leave me, or take me as I am
And live our lives, stigmatized

We live our lives on different sides,
But we keep together you and I
Just live our lives, stigmatized

We’ll live our lives, We’ll take the punches everyday
We’ll live our lives I know we’re gonna find our way

I believe in you
Even if no one understands
I believe in you, and i don’t really give a damn
If we’re stigmatized
We live our lives on different sides
But we keep together you and I
We live our lives on different sides

We gotta live our lives
Gotta live our lives
Were gonna live our lives
We’re gonna live our lives, Gonna live our lives,
Stigmatized

Wherever You Will Go……….

Published by ronald24 under Uncategorized

So lately, I’ve been wonderin
Who will be there to take my place
When I’m gone, you’ll need love
To light the shadows on your face
If a great wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
And between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own

If I could, then I would
I’ll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I’ll go wherever you will go

And maybe, I’ll find out
The way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days
If a great wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
Well I hope there’s someone out there
Who can bring me back to you

If I could, then I would
I’ll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I’ll go wherever you will go

Runaway with my heart
Runaway with my hope
Runaway with my love

I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart and your mind
I’ll stay with you for all of time

If I could, then I would
I’ll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I’ll go wherever you will go

If I could turn back time
I’ll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I’ll go wherever you will go

PINOY LESSONS IN LINGUISTICS

Published by ronald24 under Uncategorized

1. Malandi, eklat, ekek

Noong 1940’s, kapag may bra ang babae, pinagbubulungan na at mababansagang malandi.

Noon din ay may French perfume na ang tatak ay Eclat (silent T).
Kaya ang taong maarte ay tinawag ng mga Pinoy na Eclat (pronounce the T). Ngayon kapag maraming tsetseburetse at kaartehan ganon din ang tawag, "Ang dami mo namang eklat." Kinalaunan, pinaikli pa ang eklat at naging ek-ek- "Ang tagal mo namang magdesisyon kung sasama ka o hindi! Ang dami mong ek-ek!"

2.Baylerina, belyas, hospitality girls, GRO

Noong elementary ako, uso pa ang  Wakasan, sinusubaybayan ko ang nobelang  Tubig at Langis; ang Movie Especial na komiks kung saan kapanapanabik ang bawat eksena sa buhay ni Zuma na siya namang ama ni Galema. Sa komiks ang tawag sa babaeng nagbebenta ng panandaliang aliw ay baylerina. Kinalaunan, naging belyas, tapos naging English, hospitality girls tapos ngayon GRO.

3. Give me five, High Five, Appear, Align

Elementary ako nang makagisnan ko ang batiang "Give Me Five". Masyado yatang pormal ang handshake kaya "Give me Five, Man" ang pumalit. Tuwang-tuwa ang mga magulang kapag natutunan ng kanilang anak na paslit ang mag-give me five. Tapos sa mga American games, naging High Five o "Give me five, up here!"

Hindi pahuhuli ang Pinoy basta galing sa America. Ang "Give me five, up here" ay naging "Appear". Halos lahat yata ng Pinoy babies ganito ang series of training, "Anak, where is the light; where is the moon?" Ang nadagdag, "Appear! Appear!" At dahil sa E.T. ni Speilberg, "Align, Align!" Again, Tuwang-tuwa ang mga magulang.

4.Karaoke, videoke, combo

Nang mag- Community Medicine ako noon sa isang slum area ng Sta. Ana, Manila. Ito ang top 3 gamit na hindi mawawala sa mga bahay, gaano mang kaliit ang  barung-barong:  1. Panyong may tatak na panalangin ng El Shaddai   2. Television  3. Karaoke.

Kakambal na ng Pinoy ang pagkanta. Noon, kapag nagkakantahan, gamit ay gitara at song hits (Jingle). Napalitan ito nang 70’s-80’s ng minus one. Tapos, karaoke. Ngayon, videoke, at sa huling talaan ng pagkakaalam ko, 8 na ang namamatay sa "My Way".

Naalala ko noong elementary pa ko, nagtayo ang kuya ko at ng yang mga kaibigan ng isang Combo. Ngayon, ang tawag sa singing group ay– d, hindi na Combo at ang Combo ngayon ay tumutukoy sa Jollibee o McDonald’s promo.

5.CT Scan, Siete Scan, CT Skull, SC Scalp, CT Scam

Sa PGH, may tinatawag na Central Block. Nandoon ang Radiology Department kung saan ginagawa ang mga X-rays, Ultrasound, CT Scan at Radiotherapy. Dito ko naobserbahan ang evolution ng mga pinoy medical terms. May mga pasyente o bantay na aking nasasalubong, ang madalas magtanong ng direksyon.

Mga Versions ng CT Scan: (Ganon na rin yon, no!)
a. "Dok saan po ba ang Siete Scan?"
b. "Doc saan po ba magpapa-CT Skull"
c. "Doc saan po ba CT Scalp"
d. "Doc saan po ang CT Scam?"

6. Cobal, X-tray

Madalas akong mapagtanungan ng direction papunta sa Cobalt Room.

"Doc saan po ba ang Cobal" Yes, laging walang T, marami na ang ginagamit na term ay Cobal. Saan napunta ang "T".

Marami din kasing nagtatanong,

"Doc, saan po ba ang papuntang X-Tray?"

Conclusion: Ang "T" ng Cobalt, ay napunta sa X-Tray.

7. Phenobarbiedoll, metromanilazole, Paco, Tragedy of Fallot, Scissors! Ketong,

Nang mag-rotate ako as intern sa Pediatrics ng PGH, mahal na mahal talaga ng mga nanay ang kanilang mga anak na may sakit. Pilit nilang tinatandaan ang mga gamot at tawag sa sakit ng kanilang anak.

Doktor:  "Mrs. ano po ang mga gamot na iniinom ng anak niyo?"
Mrs 1:  "Doc phenobarbiedoll po."
Doktor: "Ah baka po phenobarbital." (Gamot sa convulsion ang phenobarbital)

Doktor: "Mrs. ano po ba ang antibiotic na iniinom ng anak yo?"
Mrs 2: "Doc metromanilazole po."
Doktor: "Ah baka po metronidazole." (Gamot sa amoeba ang metronidazole)

Ang tawag sa recovery room ng PGH ay PACU (Post-Anesthesia Care Unit)

Doktor: "Mrs., tapos na po ang operasyong ng anak ninyo, punta po kayo sa  PACU.
Mrs 3:  "Eh Doc, saan po sa Paco? Sa may simbahan po ba o sa may palengke?

Doktor:  "Mrs. ano po ba ang sinabi ng dating doktor kung ano ang sakit ng inyong anak?"
Mrs 4: "Eh Doc sabi po niya Tragedy of Fallot.
Doktor: "Ah baka po Tetralogy of Fallot (Isang congenital Heart Disease ang Tetralogy of Fallot)

Biglang nagtatarang ang isang nanay at sumigaw.
Mrs. 5: "Scissors! Scissors! Nag-sciscissors ang anak ko, Doc!"
Doktor: "Nurse, diazepam please, nag-seizure ang pasyente!

Doktor:  "Mrs. ano daw po ba ang sakit ng anak ninyo?"
Mrs. 6: May ketong daw po. In-examine ng doktor ang balat ng pasyente. Wala siyang makitang senyales ng ketong. Tumawag pa siya ng isang dermatologist para mag-examine nang husto. Wala talaga.
Doktor: "Mrs. sigurado po ba kayong ketong ang sakit ng bata?"
Mrs 6: "Eh iyon po ang sabi ng doktor niya dati. Mataas daw po ketong sa ihi dahil may diabetes."
Doktor: "Ah ketone po yon! (Ang positive ketone sa ihi ay yales ng kumplikasyon ng diabetes.)

Doktor: (Sa buntis na mrs. na nagle-labor) "Mrs. pumutok na po ang panubigan mo?"
Mrs 7: "Eh Doc, wala naman po akong narinig na pagsabog." nep!)

CAUSE of BANGUNGOT….must read

Published by ronald24 under Uncategorized

ARTICLE FROM THE PHILIPPINE STAR

The reported cause of actor Rico Yan’s
death is nightmare or bangungot.Medical investigators in China, Japan
and several Asian countries who performed autopsies on persons who died
from "acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis" found out that the majority of
them had eaten NOODLES as their supper. This was a startling finding.
However, it wasn’t the noodles that caused nightmares but dehydration.
Imbibing even with a few drinks of alcohol or just eating noodles
immediately before bedtime compound this on an empty stomach will
trigger an electrolyte imbalance and other factors that causes a person
to dehydrate or lose water.
It is therefore advisable for a person to take several glasses of water
before bedtime if he had a few or several alcoholic drinks. Avoid eating
noodles before bedtime, but if you can not avoid it, allow at least two
hours for the body to digest the noodles before hitting the sack and
drink plenty of water. The most important thing is, never go thirsty
when going to bed and be sure you have plenty of water during your
8-hour rest…

Being Single

Published by ronald24 under Uncategorized

All your life, you had specific dreams about what
your family life
would be
like when you finally married. You were so intent
on what you wanted,
you
even made a list of qualities and characteristics
you were looking or
in a
spouse, in a home, in your job, in your children.

But time passed, and that person you were so
intent on didn’t come
along.
All of your friends married, had children, had
beautiful homes. And
still
you were single. You prayed and prayed and prayed
for that person to
come
along, but nothing happened.

You had a good job. You served in your church.
You spent daily time
with the
Lord in prayer and studying the Word. You
dedicated your life to
serving God
in every way possible, but still nothing. So you
decided to take
matters
into your own hands, and you began an active
search for a mate. And
within a
short period, you met someone who almost fit the
bill. Almost. Sure,
there
were a few things missing, a few rusty spots in
that person’s
character.
But, after all, no one is perfect. Of course,
your friends and your
pastor
tried to counsel you that you were making a poor
choice and that you
should
wait for the Lord to send the right person. But
that couldn’t be
right. You
had waited for a long time.

Maybe your goals were too high. Maybe you’d been
asking for the
impossible.
Maybe this was the person God wanted for you so
your character could
grow
through dealing with his or her failings.

So you married. And your life went down hill from
there.

Even though it often seems that God is slow to
answer prayers, no
matter
whether it’s about a mate, or a job, or our
children, or our
finances, or
anything else, we have to remember that God
doesn’t wear a watch. Nor
does
He look at our human calendars. He sees with
eternal eyes. He
operates on an
eternal timetable, according to His plan and His
schedule.

If God seems to be running late, don’t get
impatient and run ahead of
him.
Wait for the Lord’s timing in everything.

To the single folks out there,  this is
for you….

Single means you have the time to grow and be the
person you want to
be.

Single gives you space to grow. Sometimes, it is
harder to grow when
you are
too close to someone. Trees are planted far apart
so they can spread
their
branches and become strong as they mature.

Single means learning to live by yourself.
However, that is no more
difficult than learning to live with somebody
else.

Single means freedom. You are free to spend a
week’s vacation on the
beach,
to take computer courses, to work late on an
interesting project, to
spend
the day in bed with a good book or simply with a
person who has read
one.

Single means learning not to need a man/woman to
make your life
meaningful
but learning to live with a man/woman because you
want to be with
him/her.
Single means that sometimes you will wonder why
you will bite your
lip and
feel wistful and wonder if marriage is better.

Ironically, yet quite happily, single is feeling
good about being in
control
of your life. It is liking and respecting who you
are and why you
are.

And… Single is realizing that being married is
not necessarily
better, it
is
merely different…ü

"…the Lord never promised a peaceful
journey……only a safe
arrival…."

Mars will be near Earth - MARK ON YOUR CALENDAR

Published by ronald24 under Science

MARS comes to within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and will be (next to
the moon) the brightest object in the
night sky.

Starting in August, Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye.

This month and next, Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter
that will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets
in recorded history.

At the beginning of August it will rise in the east at 10p.m. and
reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m.

By the end of August when Earth and Mars are closest, Mars will rise
at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12:30a.m.

The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within
34,649,589 miles of Earth and will be (next to the moon) the
brightest object in the night sky.

That’s pretty convenient to see something that no human being has
seen in recorded history. So, mark your calendar at the beginning of
August to see Mars grow progressively brighter and brighter
throughout the month. And be sure to watch the sky on August 27th. It
will look like the Earth has two moons!

The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287.

Due to the way Jupiter’s gravity tugs on Mars and perturbs its orbit,
astronomers can only be certain that Mars has not come this close to
Earth in the Last 5,000 years, but it may be as long as 60,000 years
before it happens again.

Share this with your children and grandchildren. NO ONE ALIVE TODAY
WILL EVER SEE THIS AGAIN.
