Dancing in Midlife Tune

Because of recent abductions in daylight hours , refresh yourself of these things to do in an emergency situation. This is for you, and for you to share with your wife, your children, everyone you know.

After reading these 9 crucial tips , forward them to someone you care about, by mouth, email, or call, or blog. It never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.

1 Tip from Tae Kwon Do :The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!

2. Learned this from a tourist guide in New Orleans
If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM . Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR , LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE. If someone is in the car with a gun to your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF, repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF! Instead run the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you. If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it . As soon as the car crashes bail out and run. It is better than having them find your body in a remote location.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
A.) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor , and in the back seat

B..) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door . Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
C..) Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is especially true at NIGHT!)

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic. STOP ! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

9. Another Safety Point: Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird. The police told her “Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.” The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over. The policeman said, “We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.” He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby’s cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls by women saying that they hear baby’s cries outside their doors when they’re home alone at night. Please pass this on and DO NOT open the door for a crying baby —- This e-mail should probably be taken seriously because the Crying Baby theory was mentioned on America ’s Most Wanted this past Saturday when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana

Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or a loved one’s life.

Repost from Virtualmvc (Cyberflashes)

I love travelling. I love the feeling of being in a moving bus, boat, train or flying plane. Just don’t let me sit beside someone who easily gets airsick or carsick or bus sick because no doubt i will also get sick. =)

Even am not financially well to do –BUT i don’t stop wishing to travel. Aftre taking the Lakbayan test , I made this list of “want to see/visit” places here and abroad.

The first “real” job i had after college was in a hospital. I worked in an environment with many nurses and doctors. For more than a year, i stayed in a dormitory that most of the occupants are nurses and one of the things that made me envy them is their time of work — their 8 hour shift. Some of them will go overtime for another 8 hours — but still i like their working time of 7-3/3-11/11-7 or 6-2/2-10/ 10-6.

I like their shifting time for the following reasons: 1. it seems their working time is soon to finish compared to the 8 hours spent in an office. 2. when they take off from work, they can rest awhile and then go out for an errand or shopping. 3. NOC shift – you get home the next day, sleep for 5 hours and you still have remaining day hours to go out to the mall. Unlike us in the office — we get in at 8 and finsih work at 5 or 5:30. If you have plans of malling or shopping, you have to hurry or else the shops will be closed at 7 pm. You arelucky if you are in Manila where shops closed at 8 pm, but you also have beat the traffic.

Presently, I am still working in a health environment and most of my workmates (the Clinical Instructors) i envy them when they get to go home at 3 pm — because their shift is over. They are on their way home at 3 pm and i still have 2 hours or more to stay in the office. Haiiiii….am not jealous– am just admiring them. Wish am one of them.

The reason why am blabbing about this — it is because at times, IT TAKES TIME TO FINISH THE 8 HOURS.

Christians are always admonished to live Godly life daily. The Bible speaks of how God living as a man on earth and was unhumanly treated but still become triumphant over sin.

For someone like me who has spent 15 years in an Adventist school and has grown up in an Adventist family – we are always reminded to do this. But now I realized that it is not easy to live a Godly life when you don’t have a personal conviction that you can overcome sin or temptations. I do pray — several times in one day but still i fall. It is so easy to talk ill of someone, it is so easy to kill someone even without the use of guns or swords — bt just by our tongue, we could kill many even our own family. So sad.

How can we live a Godly life when the following abounds in mass and so strong: selfishness, jealousy, hatred, theft, hunger, worldly treasures, drugs, sex, money, alcohol, gluttony. Not just all that — it seems in everything. When too you take too much of everything is already a sin.

Am sure, God has read my thoughts here and even before i have penned it down, He has read it in my mind. Somehow He will understand that am having a hard time shunning sin eventhough i prayed daily.

If i have prayed now i guess I need to pray more and earnestly.

Everytime I saw or heard couples fighting, I get a bit affected. Not in a way that I wanna come into their middle, but i tried to reason things out inside my brain and if both does not act like what i thought they should do, I end up upset. Crazy Me.

Earlier I was watching the movie Last Kiss and it shows several couples falling apart. It is not a bad movie after all as it depicts relationships at all levels. One is 30 years old, one is 3, and another one just weeks probably – well, it is their life! But I hate screaming and nagging and hitting. How I wish couples could talk out with clear heads — no matter how painful the topic may be, it has to be talked out. In most cases, women wanted the truth, the whole truth but when the guy tells the truth, she freaks out and starts to hit him. There is the throwing of things, the barrage of bad words and name. (Sad picture)

Maybe i feel this way because I have grown up in an environment like this. My mother and father always fought when I was still a kid and i don’t know if they thought it could affect me or my other siblings. Everytime they fight, I ran up to the room and hide inside the locker because their noise is just too much for me. One time, it was good my dad went inside the bathroom and did not come out or else, my mom could eat him alive. hahaha! But later, when i had time to forget i was scared, I tried to listen to my mom what she was upset about and i feel it was nagging. It was a horrible way of nagging that I feel if a man gets fed-up the man could give her one hit on the face and she will quiet down. But my father didn’t hit her ever that way. Maybe it was because of my mom’s nagging, that I feel I hate to hear someone nagging.

I had been in to many relationships. I don’t thing I nag so much – but the thing with me is i cry. Cry so hard that i can’t talk and makes a guy ran away scared.
