Peter was once a healthy boy. He is in his first grade when he was hit by a high fever. His doctors diagnose his ailment as polio this epidemic had claims numbers of lives in that place. Luckily this young boy has a strong will to survive his doctor says. After a month or more he recovered but sad news to his parents was he can no longer walk. Thanks to a simple machine a GoWheelchair-Rollator-2. The family purchases one for Peter. They started to bring the boy outside the house using the machine so he can have the morning sunlight and for him to have garden fresh air. A boy was still fragile but the family is trying not to absent from doing it. They go to the hospital again for his checkup. The doctor was surprise because according to him the boy was recuperating very fast. The doctor asks the mother if they were applying therapy. Yes we bring him outside using the equipment we purchased from an online store. We really recommend the Wheelchair-rollator-2 for giving our child the chance to experience life even if he could not walk. After 2 years the boy went back to school and still using the simple machine. He graduated elementary and high school after then he took a computer course and finished it like a normal person. This man still uses his machine as he was employed in a government office as an encoder. If not with this machine he might still be lying on the bed.

My great grand uncle who is 84 years old is still happy with his 15 year old girl. He married twice but the two wives were already dead. And now he is living with his 15 year old girl and still maintaining concubines as he claims. I ask him as to his secret? Well he simply answered me that he is using viagra.

When he reached the age of 40 he started having problems with his duty as a husband and he felt insecure. From that on, he and his second wife always have big fights. So he went to the doctor for some advice to save their marriage and to keep his concubines who soon lose their interest towards him. The doctor then prescribes him viagra as a solution to his problem. He told me that he was very satisfied when he started using viagra in his second wife. But unfortunately his second wife died last 2005. However before she died, she claims that my great grand uncle is really sexually aggressive. As of today, He still boasts that he can still do well despite his age. “Thanks to viagra” he says. As I look at his face I think it’s true since he is a happy man and also his 15 year old girl just gives birth to a healthy boy last year.

The people lived in the heavens and there were yet no human beings on earth. However on earth was glistening water and fresh green plants and trees. Ukinurot, a hunter in heaven, was fed up with the never-changing diet of meat, the brown and bare landscape and the warm clothing made of birds’ feathers

While hunting one day, a large bird swam into his ken. He aimed his bow and arrow at it and shot. The arrow passed clean through the bird’s body and landed on the ground, a distance away, and was deeply embedded in the ground. As he pulled it, a good amount of soil came up with the arrow, leaving a large hole in the ground. Ukinurot peered through the hole and saw below him shining water and green earth. He summoned his companions, men and women, and all were pleased with what they saw.

Then they decided to go down. They plucked the bird’s feathers and twined a rope with them. Then one by one they climbed down. A rather fat woman could not go through the opening.

Ukinurot was the last to descend. As soon as he touched earth, the rope snapped. So they could no longer return. The fat woman who remained in heaven, lights up the stars every night to remind the people below whence they originally came. The hole through below which they descended now shines as the moon.

Misamis Oriental Myth by Francisco Demetrio, SJ

This is a mythological story from the Philippines; accordingly the earth was unmanned till Ukinurot from heaven accidentally discovered that there was a paradise below them. Out of curiosity they then went down from heaven and accidentally settled on earth.

Isn’t it amazing how people think of the beginning of the human race here on Earth? Well, there are lots of beautiful stories through out the world and for me this story is one of them.

A few years back I can still recall how my customers enjoy their remittances sent by their loved ones from abroad. Well that was long time ago when the peso was at its lowest value against the US dollar. There are reasons why Filipinos should be happy with weak peso, first they can purchase more goods with high exchange rate. Imagine a US dollar would cost 56 pesos and with that value you could buy many things, a kilo of rice and fish for viand, no wonder why many were happy that time. Those days were over because today the value of Philippine money strengthened fueled by strong economic growth. The exchange rate shed almost 10% making OFW’s reluctant in sending money to their families here in the Philippines. As a result the “should be” goods that can be purchased with a dollar are no longer true. You can no longer a buy a kilo of rice or even a fish for viand with your dollar. With that situation who would be happy?. Anyhow my clients still claim money and the have a say to every cents they get….. That is all for now
