Love and Elderly Care

In our culture, the setup is quite phenomenal because we are accustomed to extended families. We also give special attention to caring for the elderly. We do not send them to homes like in the US and other western countries because we pay homage to what important things they have done in our lives. This is something like paying back what we owe them, because we are expected to care for them as a sign of respect.



The United States, Japan, and other first world nations developed nursing homes and other establishments to take care of their elderly. This is one way of making sure their needs are being given at all times. Qualified staff and state registered nurses mostly comprise the manpower for these homes. It is really nice to know that they will be with other people in their own genre too. Some also enjoy the amenities because they can also be as luxurious as hotels, spas and vacation spots in and around the country. This is the advantage of elderly care because you can also plan for it first. You can also choose what specific location and amenities you would like to have because it is quite easy to do this ahead of time.

There are also web sites that you can go to nowadays to find a nursing home for your loved ones. It would now be easy to still get in touch with your family even if you grow old so this would really be better. Now that even the government has been giving their support to the elderly, it would be faster and cheaper to do this before you retire from work and have completely enjoyed your life. Since they also have medical staff working on the premises, you would not be worried about getting sick or think about who would take care of you when you need it most. The nursing home services in my opinion have been very good investment for the general public. It is one way to show you still love and care for your parents, or grandparents so make sure you get them into one as soon as you see the need to.

SAD DAY FOR PHILIPPINES, CORY DIED BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!

She was the one who started it all, a revolution in 1986 right smack in the middle of a Marcos regime that spanned 20 years of dictatorship. Here comes a housewife of a Senator (who was shot dead in the airport) who only knew to stay in the house one day and serve her family...and later became President of the Philippines.

After her term, the Philippines still had a huge debt... government officials were still corrupt... and the ordinary Juan Dela Cruz was still hungry and starving because he had no job and no food on the table. Filipinos still had the urge to complain and tell that everything is the government's fault, every president was corrupt but nobody stepped up and said he is going to get rid of the trillions of dollars debt that we have with foreign banks and countries. All of which we just got from past governments.

No matter how worse we became in this God stricken country of ours, Corazon Aquino was still an icon of democracy for us and the International community. We apparently invented the bloodless revolution via People Power. When she died, every Filipino felt we lost a mother. She was selfless, giving and too good to be true to some... and a weak woman to her detractors... but you can never discount the fact that she was more than a woman, the 9 coup attempts was not a joke. I will always remember her for all the good things she did, and continue to do so... I thank Ms Corazon Aquino for the democracy we are enjoying now... and for the good person she is for Filipinos here and around the world. May she rest in peace!

Forms, Surveys and Polls

Photo by Me!

I am a professional forum administrator and I do it for highly technical ones too as a matter of fact. Aside from that, I administer and moderate a couple more groups for photography, gaming, cartoons, social networks and some that are hosted by organizations inside our company. For me it really is worth my time because I have felt first hand how important forums are. This is as important as building a community.

I have a lot of friends now thanks to this addictive form of media. I enjoy what I am doing now because it makes my life complete in some way. Now that I do not have much time for my love life, I always put my time on photography which has been one of my passions since I was a kid. I do not know about the technology and technical know how of a DSLR. The place where I started looking for information is forums. Now that I already have common friends, mentors and peers that are in the same hobby, I will be getting better at what I do because of communities like these. Every web site needs Online Forms, Surveys, and Poll Builders so you would know how you fare in CYBERSPACE. This is how you get feedback from people around the world. It helps you improve your services and nudge you in the shoulder if you are doing a good job. It would really be nice to use these forms too, to improve what you have to offer your viewing public. Information like this is critical to the success of your site, and getting them to be customizable would be doubly better. There is a FREE Online Form Builder that you can use so interaction between you and the rest of your readers can get you somewhere. I am doing polls now for my audience, found information that I should write more for men and have the point of view cut across women. It was pretty time consuming in the beginning but once you get the hang of it, it is easy!

Next Photoshoot: Balete Falls, Amadeo Cavite

Photo grabbed from Google from Armand_Apuntar

It's on the planning stage still but there will only be 10 slots given to this particular event in the weekend. This also will be done by nationally renowned photographer Rolly Magpayo. He will be discussing the tricks of the trade in fashion and glamor photography. This would be a very good thing for me to take up but it might end up non conforming to my actual schedule so I really do not know if it would be possible to get this one going.

I even like the location since it will be in Balete Falls, which locals and tourists alike frequent during the summer. I hope it would be as good looking as the previous shoots that were held there with other photographers. I've got a new trick in my sleeve though. I will be employing a new mode of shooting, and maximize the use of my camera. This would be really fun if I could attend this event. I just hope everything pushes through and the vehicles stay as cool as I want them to be hehe.=) Im currently post processing the pictures from the last photoshoot and finishing the video for the Laguna photo walk. I hope I can finish everything before the weekend.
