Hi, I'm 15 years old and live with my parents and sister in Ulverston.

Hopefully, I'll update as I tick each one off the list :)

Life they say is a mystery,  Live your life and Discovery it's Mystery~

I thought, my life story is just a typical episode of a fairytale, bitter beginning and sweet ending, not until I’ve told my hidden book of life to somebody, I have found out that my story is not like an ordinary scenario, indeed a unique tale with a great adventures….

                             not all fairytales have a sweet ending....

Turning back the hands of time, I was seven(7) when my parents separated, me and my older sister kept on wandering why do things have to be complicated when all we need is a family, we go from one place to another, suffering from different abused made by my dad's mistresses, youthful days was taken from us, all we can remember was the hardship  we’ve gone thru ,  a time where we have to run away from home and found ourselves under a guava tree just to fill in our hungry stomach after we've been stocked naked on a big pale full of water... I can still remember our shouts for help when our body needs to be warm with clothing but nobody can hear us, a terrible year of childhood days........

a year after, my mom had stolen us from that hell and had brought us to davao, I thought, our miserable days was over, not until, we've found out that mom was abandoned by her parents due to her decision of running home, her parents totally turn their back on us and our only shelter was the dog house, no floors but soil, the only furniture we have was an old table by which we have taken it from the garbage, our nourishment was a spoon of salt and cooking oil that to be mixed in a cooked rice we are indeed blessed with a healthy body and thankful for the food we have... rainy days came and found ourselves on the top of the table praying and hoping that it would immediately stop, that was our usual days in davao,  as young as I am I never questioned life and its twist, I'm always been strong, although, I begun to pity and compare myself with other kids who has all the toys and great things in life, my mom would always comfort me with words that goes:, I should not be asking too much, because I am special and worthy of love........

Every Sunday, early morning we'll walked the busy street of boulevard going to  church, the only penny that my mom have was for the fare going back home, witnessing all the kids of my age glamour with nice clothes riding on a jeepney passing by, while we are walking in sweat just to get to the church,

after the mass, outside is a street full of vendors selling all sort of stuff like balloons, ice cream, pastries etc.. my mom would always give us an option of walking a long distance or a scoop of ice cream, since the only money we have is the exact amount for  fare back home, young and ice cream ignorant as we are, of course we chose the ice cream and walk a long distance going back home, .

At 9 years old my mom left us miles away in search for luck in other country to provide me and my sister a better future, we stayed with our grandparents, things went ok, only that, we lived in a policy of  " IF you want something you have to work hard for it" no place to ask nor beg for things we want but have to break a leg or two..

6 years away from mom, numb myself from different school events where there's a need for a parent attendance, I don’t have a choice but to understand things that was given to me, naive but I’ve learned to struggle life and its significant aspects…..

Life doesn’t end here, rhere's so much to face… so many people to meet, some may leave, some may only be there for a reason.. but whatever lifes ahead I'll accept it with great expectations and keep on walking in unending phase of life, the only weapon that I have is myself, the experiences that ive been thru that makes me strong far better understanding of life, hard work and FAITH in one GREAT creator of life…...

 Im not gonna raise my both hands to surrender but  instead, ill keep my head up  facing the day ahead with a smile.........

where  I am now and who I become,  is the product of what  I am before…

Did GOOGLE Reject Job Applicants Because They’re Fat?

by: Irin Carmon

New York City woman — let's call her Ms. G, because she signed a non-disclosure agreement — went to Google's local offices to take a test for an administrative position. She'd already had a phone interview, and now there was a test. Afterwards, at lunch, Ms. G says seven of the roughly 20 people there were politely escorted out. All seven were overweight women; everyone who stayed was thin.

Google is famous for its lifestyle perks, including in some instances, fitness classes. Ms. G says her phone interview for one of the eight positions was mostly about her non-work activities, and she got the impression they wanted to see "that you're active in your life, that you do stuff outside of work, that you're well-rounded."

Discrimination against overweight people, if that's indeed what happened, isn't specifically illegal, though the EEOC has occasionally sued on behalf of obese people citing the Americans With Disabilities Act.

As for Google, a spokesperson who was told Ms. G's story had the following comment: "We don't discriminate in our hiring process."

Blogger jailed over critical restaurant review

The Taichung branch of Taiwan High Court on Tuesday sentenced a blogger who wrote that a restaurant’s beef noodles were too salty to 30 days in detention and two years of probation and ordered her to pay NT$200,000 in compensation to the restaurant.

The blogger, surnamed Liu (劉), writes about a variety of topics — including food, health, interior design and lifestyle topics — and has received more than 60,000 hits on her Web site.

After visiting a Taichung beef noodle restaurant in July 2008, where she had dried noodles and side dishes, Liu wrote that the restaurant served food that was too salty, the place was unsanitary because there were cockroaches and that the owner was a “bully” because he let customers park their cars haphazardly, leading to traffic jams.

The restaurant’s owner, surnamed Yang (楊), learned about Liu’s blog post from a regular customer, and filed charges against her, accusing her of defamation.

The Taichung District Court ruled that Liu’s criticism of the restaurant exceeded reasonable bounds and sentenced her to 30 days in detention, a ruling that Liu appealed.

The High Court found that Liu’s criticism about cockroaches in the restaurant to be a narration of facts, not intentional slander.

However, the judge also ruled that Liu should not have criticized all the restaurant’s food as too salty because she only had one dish on her single visit.

Health officials who inspected the restaurant did not find conditions to be as unsanitary as Liu had described, so the High Court also ruled that Liu must pay NT$200,000 to the owner for revenues lost as a result of her blog post.

The ruling is final.

Liu has apologized to the restaurant for the incident.

Yang said he filed the charges because Liu’s negative comments about his restaurant led many customers to call him to ask if her review was true.

He said he hoped the case would teach her a lesson.

Huang Cheng-lee (黃呈利), a lawyer in Taichung, said that bloggers who post food reviews should remember to be truthful in their commentary and supplement their comments with photographs to protect themselves.

He also said bloggers should be objective and fair in their writing.

Large births bode ill for brains

U. SOUTHAMPTON (UK) — Children who are born small with relatively bigger placentas show more activity on the right side of their brain than their left, a pattern linked to mood disorders, including depression.

The findings, published online in the journal PLoS One, adds to a growing body of evidence showing that adverse environments experienced by fetuses during pregnancy (indicated by smaller birth size and larger placental size) can cause long-term changes in the function of the brain.
“The way we grow before birth is influenced by many things including what our mothers eat during pregnancy and how much stress they are experiencing,” says Alexander Jones, an epidemiologist at the University of Southampton, who led the study.
“This can have long-lasting implications for our mental and physical health in later life,” Jones says. “This is the first time we’ve been able to link growth before birth to brain activity many years later. We hope this research can begin to shed new light on why certain people are more prone to diseases such as depression.”
The neurological responses of 140 children from Southampton, aged between eight and nine, were monitored for the study.

Tests evaluated blood flow to the brain in response to increased brain activity, exposing differences in the activity of the two sides. Measurements were taken of tiny fluctuations in the temperature of the tympanic membrane in each ear, which indicate blood flow into different parts of the brain.

Disproportionate growth of the placenta and the fetus is thought to occur in pregnancies where the mother has been experiencing stress or where there have been problems with the availability of nutrients.
Previous research has linked this pattern of growth to other diseases such as hypertension and greater physical responses to stress in later life

iPhone 5 To Get Dual Core Processor, More Megapixels

The iPhone 5 rumors are just beginning. First it was that it would get a "radical redesign". Now Bloomberg is reporting that Apple's new device will be getting an 8 megapixel camera and dual core CPU.

BGR made headlines yesterday when it's sources said the iPhone 5 would be completely revamped with a tapered body. Bloomberg is throwing it's own two cents with its sources saying that the iPhone 5 is a modest spec boost, 5 megapixel camera to 8 megapixel and single core A4 CPU to dual core A5 CPU.

The iPad 3 on the other hand, will have a screen that is about one third higher than that of the iPad 2, which could mean Retina Display like display with a higher resolution.

What do you think? Any more rumors to add to this?

Blessed Weekend!

It's weekend and just love waking up late morning for a brunch!,  my kids are already awake jumping up and down the sofa while nannies are on their usual morning routine....  with a hot coffee on my hand walking thru the dim alley going to the living room, my husband laid down in the carpet looking so comfortable with his eyes close while the sorrounding is like in a cinema, dim, wide screen tv and sorround sounds on its high volume....!

I thank the Lord for this day and for others to be bless with a wonderful day like what I am having right now, I know so many people in the world who are not with their families nor in tears fighting for love,

Today is a blessed day....  treasured every moment you are with your love ones!!!  and Don't forget to sip your coffee with love and smell it's aroma with JOY!

 

Good Morning  Madlang People!!

If you notice I haven’t been active on my blog lately ( oppppssss! Yah yah.. I know, I call that not active pre-se’)  As you can see my usual blogging would take 3-4 post a day but recently, I just had like 1 or 2 post  **just for the heck of it..! ***wink**

My days drastically changed not because of work or anything alike, but becoz of this freaking PMS!  Hehehe…..  ( sorry guys!! Only girls can relate..)  

 I don’t want to exaggerate my experience, but things are really not so well with my  1^st  bloody day after  I had my delivery 3 months ago, this one is sooooo different … it’s yuckkkkyy, painful and definitely scary than ever….   A friend of mine suggested to have it check by a Specialized Doctor  but I’m a bit hesitant as I’m not really used of going to the doctor every now and then, I’m not scared but  I’m not ready for anything  beyond normal, ( ok ok … I can call it SCARED!!- in the name of LOVE… IM FREAKING SCARED!!) 

Why do women suffer more than guys??!!   This is insane!! Wwwaaahhhhhhhhh   , anyway, I’m getting crazy now (just like any other girls with PMS looollls )and just want to greet everyone “ HAPPY WEEKEND”
