Nabuur: Mutendere, Zambia

This is posted in the News Section of Nabuur.com.

Nabuur is about people helping people, in the big things, in the small things. Whenever we lend a hand, we can change somebody’s life. Ralph Sebente, the active local representative from Mutendere in Zambia, shared this story with us.

“Due to the effect of HIV/AIDS many orphans are spilled in the streets roaming it. Yesterday morning coming from posting a "Get well soon" card to the Wares family at the post office, on my way to the school I passed by 'Vinga bakery' within my community.

I noticed a boy staring into the window of the bakery. I stood behind him, could be 7 or 8 years. He did not notice me because his eyes were glued on the good things inside.

After a few minutes I spoke to him. "Son, would you like some of those?"

The boy quickly responded, "O, yes I would"

Then I went inside bought a loaf and two cap cakes put them in a plastic bag and handed the bag to him. I turned to walk away and then felt a small hand touching me.

I turned around the child said, "Mister are you God?"

I failed to hold tears from my eyes. True we are never more like God than when we give because God so loved the world that He gave.”


The Neighbors of Mutendere are building a school. If you want to help, visit them at Mutendere.nabuur.com/

the year that was..

Akalain mo yun? Nung June 7, 1 year na kong nag-wwork! Ano ba dapat ang reaction ko? hehe

At dahil nga 1 year na kami ni Mai (sabay kami pumasok), hindi kami nakatakas sa kantyaw ng Team. Actually sabay din kami nag-exam, interview, training. Lahat na ata sabay kami eh.

Anyway, ayan tuloy, nag-lunch out kami sa Recipes in Greenbelt.


medyo malabo ang pix: Kat, Rania, Cielo, me, Mai, Niño


After lunch, bumili naman kami ng pasalubong sa Gonuts Donuts para sa kabilang Team. Buti na lang din sabay kami ni Mai, at least share kami sa libre. hehe


picture muna sa elevator: Mai, Kat, Me


After 1 year, what now?

rubbing the eye with dirty hands is bad.. (a true story)

I went to American Eye Center this morning. The eye check-up was originally planned last March but things always came up whenever I went there. But yesterday, my right eye was really hurting. It wasn't sore or anything but it did hurt.

It turns out that I have a little eye infection. That's what you get when you rub your eyes with dirty hands. So, I'll avoid doing that from now on. However, you can also get it from dust and other pollutants. This is Metor Manila, so I guess I can't do anything about that. (On second thought, I can wear sunglasses. Hmmm...)

Anyway, nothing serious (I hope so). I just have to put some eyedrops 4 times a day for 1 week. And if symptoms persist, consult the Doctor again.



This eyedrop cost me Php279.50. And guess what? It's just 5ml! So, I'll have to be very careful when dropping them. Its a good thing, I can reimburse this. (Lord Thomson is generous when it comes to medical/optical stuff). By the way, I didn't pay anything for the check-up because it's also covered by our Health Care provider. (Thomson should pay me for advertising the company. haha)

I also got a raffle ticket from Mercury Drug. If luck gets on my side, I'll drive home a new Mitsubushi Adventure GL.


----------
New Learning: The eyes are connected to the throat. I could taste the eyedrop shortly after I've put them in my eyes. (doesn't taste good..)


Out of curiousity, I checked out my Doctor's profile. His name is Carl James Chua. Impressive. Seems like I'm in good hands. :)

my bestfriend's bday

This photo was taken at NBS in Glorietta adn I'm posting it here without asking his permission. And dami kasing kumakain kaya dumaan muna kami sa NBS to check out some books. Actually, siya lang naman ang titingin ng books.



I found out that he just brought a Green Iguana the other day. It was a dream come true for him in a way as he had been wanting to have one since HS but could not find one, so he just contented himself with a Philippine Iguana back then. He was the pet lover in the class - exotic/unusual pet lover that is. He'd take care of iguanas, turtles, monkeys (yes he brought it to school 1 time), even a bayawak, etc etc. We call his place a zoo.

He found an interesting book that night but had no money to buy it. So while he was busy reading (and taking notes! I saw him wrote some notes on his palm) I got a copy and went to the counter.
Then, I handed it over to him on the way home.



I wish he had a happy birthday...

Anak ng Jeuteng!

PAMPANGA Representative Juan Miguel "Mikey" Arroyo, national police chief General Arturo Lomibao, and three congressmen from Albay province received regular "payola" from "jueteng," a self-confessed operator disclosed to the Senate on Monday. [taken from INQ7.com]

Parang nangyari na to ah? hmm...

The Estrada presidency was soon dogged by charges of plunder and corruption, and he was reported by his adviser Edilberto Lacquian to spend long hours drinking with shady characters. In October 2000, an acknowledged gambling racketeer, Luis Singson, governor of the province of Ilocos Sur, alleged that he had personally given Estrada the sum of 400 million pesos as payoff from illegal gambling profits. [taken from Answers.com]

Ano bang meron sa Jueteng na yan? See Randy David's article

Kung totoo nga yan, mai-impeach din kaya si GMA? Magkakaroon kaya ng People Power 4? Magiging Presidente ba natin si Kabayang Noli? Ayayay!
