“Bill worked in a factory on a production line, he was a big, awkward, homely guy. He dressed oddly with ill-fitting clothes. There were several fellow workers who thought it smart to make fun of him.
One day one fellow worker noticed a small tear in his shirt and gave it a small rip. Another worker in the factory added his bit, and before long there was quite a ribbon of cloth dangling. Bill went on about his work and as he passed too near a moving belt the shirt strip was sucked into the machinery. In a split second the sleeve and Bill was in trouble. Alarms were sounded, switches pulled, and trouble was avoided.
The foreman then summoned all the workers and related this story:
In my younger days I worked in a small factory. That's when I first met Mike. He was big and witty, was always making jokes, and playing little pranks. Mike was a leader. Then there was Peter who was a follower. He always went along with Mike. And then there was a man named Murray. He was a little older than the rest of us - quiet, harmless, apart. He always ate his lunch by himself.
He wore the same patched trousers for three years straight. He never entered into the games we played at noon, wrestling, horseshoes and such. He appeared to be indifferent, always sitting quietly alone under a tree instead. Murray was a natural target for practical jokes.
He might find a live frog in his lunch box, or a dead spider in his hat. But he always took it in good humour. Then one autumn, when things were quiet in the factory, Mike took off a few days to go hunting. Peter went along, of course. And they promised all of us that if they got anything they'd bring us each a piece.
So we were all quite excited when we heard that they'd returned and that Mike had got a really big buck. We heard more than that. Peter could never keep anything to himself, and it leaked out that they had real whopper to play on Murray. Mike had cut up the buck and had made a nice package for each of us. And, for the laugh, for the joke of it, he had saved the ears, the tail, the hoofs - it would be so funny when Murray unwrapped them.
Mike distributed his packages during the lunch break. We each got a nice piece, opened it, and thanked him. The biggest package of all he saved until last. It was for Murray. Peter was all but bursting; and Mike looked very smug. Like always, Murray sat by himself; he was on the far side of the big table. Mike pushed the package over to where he could reach it; and we all sat and waited.
Murray was never one to say much. You might never know that he was around for all the talking he did. In three years he'd never said more than hundred words. So we were all quite astounded with what happened next. He took the package firmly in his grip and rose slowly to his feet. He smiled broadly at Mike - and it was then we noticed that his eyes were glistening. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down for a moment and then he got control of himself.
'I knew you wouldn't forget me,' he said gratefully, 'I knew you'd come through! You're big and you're playful, but I knew all along that you had a good heart.'
He swallowed again, and then took in the rest of us. 'I know I haven't seemed too chummy with you men; but I never meant to be rude. You see, I've got nine kids at home - and a wife that's been an invalid - bedridden now for four years. She ain't ever going to get any better. And sometimes when she's real bad off, I have to sit up all night to take care of her. And most of my wages have had to go for doctors and medicine.
The kids do all they can to help out, but at times it's been hard to keep food in their mouths. Maybe you think it's funny that I go off by myself to eat my lunch. Well, I guess I've been a little ashamed, because I don't always have anything between my sandwich. Or like today - maybe there's only a raw turnip in my lunch box. But I want you to know that this meat really means a lot to me. Maybe more than to anybody here because tonight my kids' ... as he wiped the tears from his eyes with the back of his hand ... 'tonight my kids will have a really good meal.'
He tugged at the string. We'd been watching Murray so intently we hadn't paid much notice to Mike and Peter. But we all noticed them now, because they both tried to grab the package. But they were too late. Murray had broken the wrapper and was already surveying his present. He examined each hoof, each ear, and then he held up the tail. It wiggled limply. It should have been so funny, but nobody laughed - nobody at all.
But the hardest part was when Murray looked up and said 'Thank you' while trying to smile. Silently one by one each man moved forward carrying his package and quietly placed it in front of Murray for they had suddenly realised how little their own gift had really meant to them, until now.
This was where the foreman left the story and the men. He didn't need to say any more; but it was gratifying to notice that as each man ate his lunch that day, they shared part with Bill and one fellow even took off his shirt and gave it to him.”
Think, be kind always...you just never know what someone is facing in their lives!

10 prutas.
10 Pinakamasustansyang Prutas
Payo ni Doc Willie Ong
Kaibigan, heto ang 10 pinakamasustansyang prutas na ginawa ng Diyos para sa tao:
1. Saging – Mabuti ang saging sa mga nag-e-ehersisyo at sa may sakit sa puso dahil may taglay itong potassium. Para sa hindi makatulog at stressed sa buhay, nakapagpaparelax din ang saging dahil sa sangkap nitong tryptophan. Kumain ng 2 saging bawat araw para makaiwas sa sakit.
2. Mansanas – May vitamin C at anti-oxidants ang mansanas. Mahalaga na kainin din ang balat ng mansanas dahil may taglay itong pectin na nagtatanggal ng dumi sa ating katawan. Panlaban ang mansanas sa mataas na kolesterol, arthritis at sakit ng tiyan.
3. Maaasim na prutas tulad ng calamansi, dalandan, orange, at suha – Masagana ang mga ito sa vitamin C at panlaban sa sipon, ubo, hika at arthritis. Kapag kumakain ng dalandan, kainin din ang mga maninipis na fibers (pulp bits at membrane) dahil mabuti ito sa ating sikmura.
4. Strawberry – Naniniwala ang mga eksperto na panlaban sa kanser ang strawberry. Mag-ingat lang at may mga taong allergic sa strawberry. Hugasan maigi bago kainin.
5. Papaya – Mataas sa vitamin A at vitamin C ang papaya kaya nakatutulong ito sa ating kutis. Ang papaya ay may papain, isang kemikal na tumutulong sa pagtunaw ng pagkain at sa pag-regular ng ating pagdumi. Mataas din ito sa fiber.
6. Ubas – Ang ubas ay may tannins at flavonoids na puwedeng makapigil sa kanser. Kumain ng ubas kung ika’y nagpapagaling sa sakit. At kapag kulang sa dugo at mahina ang katawan, kumain ng ubas para manumbalik ang iyong sigla. Kaya paborito itong iregalo sa mga dumadalaw sa ospital. Hugasan maigi bago kainin.
7. Pakwan at melon – Panlaban ang mga ito sa sakit sa bato at pantog (kidney at bladder infection). Ang pakwan at melon ay punong-puno ng vitamin C at potassium. At kapag tag-init, ito ang kailangan ng ating katawan.
8. Buko – Ang buko juice at nakatutulong sa may kidney stones (bato sa bato). Nililinis din ng buko ang ating katawan.
9. Abokado – Ang abokado ay may taglay na good fats at healthy oils. Dahil dito, nakatutulong ito sa pag-iwas sa sakit sa puso at istrok. May sangkap din itong vitamin B6 at vitamin E na pampakinis ng ating balat. Para hindi kumulubot ang mukha, kumain ng abokado.
10. Pineapple – Ang pineapple ay may bromelain na makapagpapalakas sa ating resistensya. May sangkap din itong manganese at vitamin B na nagbibigay lakas sa ating katawan.
Tandaan po ang listahang ito. Ipaalam sa magulang at ituro sa anak. Ipakita din sa titser, para malaman ng lahat ang 10 pinakamasustansyang prutas.

GERD.
Heartburn o GERD (GastroEsophageal Reflux Disease)
Ano ang sintomas ng heartburn?
• May mainit o “burning sensation” sa dakong dibdib, galing sa dakong sikmura hanggang sa leeg
• May bumalik na maasim o mapait na likido sa bibig at lalamunan, lalo na kung nakahiga
• Nahihirapang lumunok
• Pag-ubo o waring pagkasamid
• Pananakit ng dibdib
Ang nalalasahang maasim o mapait ay stomach acid na muling umakyat pabalik sa lalamunan. Sa pagdaan nito sa esophagus, nakakaramdam ng “burning sensation” (parang sinisilaban) sa dibdib. Nagkataong magkatapat ang esophagus at puso, kaya tinawag itong “heartburn.”
Hindi ito karaniwang nangyayari sapagkat ang pagkaing nalunok na at nagtungo na sa sikmura (stomach) ay di na dapat pang muling umakyat pataas. Mayroon kasing pamiit (sphincter) na inilagay ng Diyos sa taas na bahagi ng stomach para pigilan ang pagbalik ng pagkaing nalusaw na sa lalamunan. Kapag nadeposito na sa stomach ang pagkain, sumasara na ang pamiit na ito. Yun ang normal na proseso.
Pero may pagkakataong nagiging gastado ang naturang pamiit. O kaya’y waring nalilito ang naturang pamiit kung kaya bigla itong bumubukas kung kaya’t nakakapuslit ang ilang acid paakyat sa lalamunan. Hindi natin ito inaasahan kung kaya’t napapabalikwas tayo sa pagkakahiga at napapaubo dahil sa iritasyon sa lalamunan. At nalalasahan natin ang maasim na acid sa ating bibig.
Kung paminsan-minsan lang ito nangyayari, baka kailangan lamang na magkaroon ng pagbabago sa inyong karaniwang ginagawa. Pero kung naging madalas na ito, puwedeng magasgas at mairita ang esophagus na posibleng mauwi sa esophagitis. Nagbubunga ito ng mahirap na paglunok at pananakit ng dibdib. Kapag ganito na ang sitwasyon, ang tawag na dito ay “gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).”
Kahit sino ay puwedeng magkaroon ng sakit na ito. Kahit ang mga bata. Pero mas madalas makita ang GERD sa mga taong edad 40 pataas. Common din ito sa mga buntis dahil sa tumitinding presyon sa kanilang tiyan.
Ang pagiging mataba ay dahilan din kung bakit nagkakaroon ng heartburn. Ang ekstrang timbang ay nagdadagdag ng pressure sa sikmura at sa diaphragm (ang malaking muscle na naghahati sa dibdib at tiyan).

ACCTG/ECONOMY 101: Wife to her Accountant husband:
“What is Inflation?”
Husband:
“Earlier, you were 36-24-36.
But now you are
48-40-48.
Though you have everything bigger than before, your value has become less than before.
This is INFLATION.”😜
Economics is not that difficult if we have the right examples —
Interviewer: “What is Recession?”
Candidate: “When ‘Wine & Women"’ get replaced by ‘Water & Wife’, that critical phase of life is called Recession!!”😜
Accountancy fact:
What is the difference between Liability & Asset?
A drunk friend is liability.
But,
A drunk Girlfriend is an Asset.
😜😜😜😜😜
An Economist beautifully explained two reasons for having 2 wives:
— Monopoly should be broken.
— Competition improves the quality of service.
If you have 1 wife, she fights with you!
If you have 2 wives, they will fight for you!!🤣🤣🤣

Atake sa utak.
Atake sa Utak (Stroke)
Basa basa po...
Ang stroke o atake sa utak ay nangyayari kung ang supply ng dugo sa bahagi ng utak ay biglaang naharang o kung ang isang ugat ng dugo sa utak ay pumutok, at magkalat ng dugo sa puwang na pumapaligid sa mga selula ng utak.
Tulad ng taong nakararanas ng pagkawala ng dugong dumadaloy sa puso ay sinasabing nagkaroon ng atake sa puso, ang taong naubusan naman ng dugong dumadaloy sa utak o biglaang pagdurugo sa utak ay maaari ring sabihing nakararanas ng atake sa utak o brain attack.
Ang paralisis ay karaniwang katangian ng atake sa utak, at madalas ay sa isang bahagi lang ng katawan (hemiplegia). Ang paralisis o panghihina ay karaniwang nakaaapekto lamang sa mukha, isang kamay o paa, o maaari rin sa buong gilid ng katawan o mukha.
Ang taong nakararanas ng atake sa utak sa kaliwang bahagi ng utak ay magpapakita ng paralisis o paresis (bahagyang paralisis ng motor na gawain) sa kanang bahagi ng katawan. At kung ang atake sa utak ay tumama naman sa kanang bahagi ng utak, ang paralisis ay makikita sa kaliwang bahagi ng katawan.
Ischemia ang salitang ginagamit upang ilarawan ang pagkawala ng oxygen at sustansiya sa mga selula ng utak kung nagkakaroon ng di tamang daloy ng dugo sa utak. Karaniwang humahantong ang ischemia sa imparksyon, ang pagkamatay ng mga selula ng utak, na karaniwang pinapalitan ng mga puwang na puno ng likida sa napinsalang utak.
Kung ang daloy ng dugo sa utak ay naabala, ang ilang selula ng utak ay agad namamatay, ang ilan naman ay nananatiling nasa panganib na mamatay. Ang mga napinsalang selula ay maaaring mailigtas ng agarang lunas ng gamot.
Napag-alaman ng mga mananaliksik na ang pagbabalik o pagsasauli ng daloy ng dugo sa mga selulang ito ay maaaring magawa sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng gamot na pangtunaw ng bara sa dugo, plasminogen activator (t-PA), sa loob ng 3 oras ng pag-umpisa ng atake sa utak.
Maraming neuroprotective na gamot ang sinusubukan upang mapigilan ang pagkalat ng pinsala pagkatapos ng unang atake.
Lagi nang ipinalalagay (inaakala) na hindi naiiwasan o nalulunasan ang atake sa utak. Dagdag pa rito ang maling paniniwalang karaniwang matatanda lamang ang nagkakaroon ng atake sa utak at sa gayon, ito ay di masyadong binibigyang pansin.
At dahil sa maling paniniwalang ito, ang karaniwang pasyente ng atake sa utak ay naghihintay pa ng 12 oras bago itakbo sa emergency room. Ang mga nag-aalaga ay naghihintay pa ng ilang sandali sa halip na asikasuhin ang atake sa utak bilang isang medikal ng kagipitan.
Mga Sintomas o Palatandaan
Madaling makita ang mga sintomas ng atake sa utak tulad ng...
• biglaang pamamanhid o panghihina, lalo na sa isang bahagi ng katawan
• biglaang pagkalito
• hirap sa pagsasalita o pang-unawa sa pagsasalita
• biglaang hirap sa paningin ng isa o parehong mata
• biglaang hirap sa paglakad, pagkahilo o kawalan ng balanse o koordinasyon
• biglaang malubhang sakit ng ulo ng walang masabing dahilan.
Ang atake sa utak ay karaniwang malalaman ang pagkakaiba sa ibang sanhi ng pagkahilo o sakit ng ulo. Ang mga sintomas na ito ay makapagpapahiwatig na ang atake sa utak ay nangyari na at isang agarang medikal na atensyon ang kinakailangan.
Mga Elemento ng Panganib (Risk Factors)
Ang pinakamahalagang elemento ng panganib ng atake sa utak ay mataas na presyon ng dugo, sakit sa puso, dyabetis, at paninigarilyo. Ang iba naman ay dala ng labis na pag-inom ng alak, mataas na kolesterol, paggamit ng bawal na gamot, mga sakit dulot ng henetika o mga kondisyon sa pagkabata, lalung-lalo na an mga abnormal na kundisyon sa dugo.
Madaliang Paggaling
Sa mga di malamang dahilan, kusang pinupunan ng utak ang pinsalang sanhi ng atake sa utak. Maaaring ang ilang selula ng utak ay pansamantalang napinsala, pero di namatay, at maaaring makapagpatuloy ng tungkulin nito. Sa ibang mga sitwasyon, maaaring isaayos ng utak ang sarili nitong pagganap. Minsan naman, pinatatakbo ng isang rehiyon ng utak ang bahaging napinsala ng atake sa utak. Ang mga nakaligtas sa atake sa utak ay nakararanas ng di-inaasahan at kapansin-pansing paggaling na hindi rin kayang maipaliwanag sa ilang pagkakataon.
Pinakikita ng pangkalahatang paggaling na:
- tinatalang 10% ng mga nakaligtas sa atake sa utak ay nakaranas ng halos lubusang paggaling
- tinatalang 25% ang gumaling na may konting kapansanan
- tinatalang 40% ang nakaranas ng katamtaman hanggang malubhang kapansanang nangangailangan ng espesyal na pag-aalaga
- tinatalang 10% ang nangangailangan ng pag-aalaga sa isang institusyon o lugar na may pasilidad para sa mas mahabang pag-aalaga
- tinatalang 15% ang namatay agad pagkatapos ng atake sa utak.
Pagpapagaling
Ang pagpapagaling ay nagsisimula sa ospital agad-agad pagkatapos ng atake sa utak. Sa mga pasyenteng maganda ang kondisyon, nagsisimula ang pagpapagaling sa loob ng 2 araw pagkatapos mangyari ang atake sa utak at kailangang ipagpatuloy hanggang kinakailangan pagkalabas ng ospital. Kabilang sa mga opsyon ng pagpapagaling ay ang mga sumusunod: ang rehab unit ng ospital, lugar na nagbibigay ng subacute care, isang espesyalistang ospital, terapyutika sa tahanan, pangangalaga sa labas ng ospital, o mahabaang panahon ng pag-aalaga sa isang nakabantay na nars.
Ang layunin sa pagpapagaling ay upang pagbutihin ang kilos ng isang biktima ng atake sa utak at matutong umasa sa sarili habang maaari. Ito ay kinakailangan gawin sa paraan na maalagaan ang dignidad ng pasyente habang tinutulungan siyang matutunan ang mga pangunahing kakayahan na naapektuhan ng atake sa puso, tulad ng pagsuporta sa sarili sa pagkain, pagdadamit, paglalakad, at iba pa.
Bagaman ang atake sa utak ay karamdamang dala ng karamdaman ng utak, naaapektuhan nito ang buong katawan. Ilan sa mga kapansanang dulot ng atake sa utak ay pagkaparalisa, kakulangan sa pang-unawa, paghihirap sa pananalita, problema sa emosyon, problema sa pang-araw-araw na pamumuhay, at kirot.
Ang atake sa utak ay maaari ring makapagdulot ng problema sa pag-iisip, kamalayan, atensyon, kaalaman, panghuhusga at alaala o memoriya. Maaaring hindi namamalayan ng isang pasyente ng atake sa utak ang nangyayari sa kanyang kapaligiran, o hindi mamalayan ang mga metal na pagkukulang na maidudulot nito.
Madalas na nagkakaroon ng problema sa pang-unawa o sa pagbuo ng salita ang mga biktima ng atake sa utak. Ito ang karaniwang resulta kung ang temporal at parietal na liha sa kaliwang panig ng utak ang napinsala.
Maaaring humantong sa problemang emosyon ang atake sa utak. Nahihirapang pigilan ng isang biktima ng atake sa utak ang kanyang emosyon o maaari din magpahiwatig ng maling emosyon sa ilang sitwasyon. Isang karaniwang kapansanan na nangyayari sa maraming biktima ng atake sa utak ay ang depresyon - ito ay higit pa sa karaniwang kalungkutang sanhi ng atake sa utak.
Maaaring makaranas ng kirot ang mga biktima ng atake sa utak, di maginhawang pamamanhid, o kakaibang pakiramdam pagkatapos ng atake. Ang mga pakiramdam na ito ay karaniwang dulot ng maraming bagay tulad ng pinsala sa mga ng utak na pinagmumulan ng sensasyon, pagtigas ng mga kasu-kasuan, o napinsalang bisig o paa.

Basa basa po...
Ang stroke o atake sa utak ay nangyayari kung ang supply ng dugo sa bahagi ng utak ay biglaang naharang o kung ang isang ugat ng dugo sa utak ay pumutok, at magkalat ng dugo sa puwang na pumapaligid sa mga selula ng utak.
Tulad ng taong nakararanas ng pagkawala ng dugong dumadaloy sa puso ay sinasabing nagkaroon ng atake sa puso, ang taong naubusan naman ng dugong dumadaloy sa utak o biglaang pagdurugo sa utak ay maaari ring sabihing nakararanas ng atake sa utak o brain attack.
Ang paralisis ay karaniwang katangian ng atake sa utak, at madalas ay sa isang bahagi lang ng katawan (hemiplegia). Ang paralisis o panghihina ay karaniwang nakaaapekto lamang sa mukha, isang kamay o paa, o maaari rin sa buong gilid ng katawan o mukha.
Ang taong nakararanas ng atake sa utak sa kaliwang bahagi ng utak ay magpapakita ng paralisis o paresis (bahagyang paralisis ng motor na gawain) sa kanang bahagi ng katawan. At kung ang atake sa utak ay tumama naman sa kanang bahagi ng utak, ang paralisis ay makikita sa kaliwang bahagi ng katawan.
Ischemia ang salitang ginagamit upang ilarawan ang pagkawala ng oxygen at sustansiya sa mga selula ng utak kung nagkakaroon ng di tamang daloy ng dugo sa utak. Karaniwang humahantong ang ischemia sa imparksyon, ang pagkamatay ng mga selula ng utak, na karaniwang pinapalitan ng mga puwang na puno ng likida sa napinsalang utak.
Kung ang daloy ng dugo sa utak ay naabala, ang ilang selula ng utak ay agad namamatay, ang ilan naman ay nananatiling nasa panganib na mamatay. Ang mga napinsalang selula ay maaaring mailigtas ng agarang lunas ng gamot.
Napag-alaman ng mga mananaliksik na ang pagbabalik o pagsasauli ng daloy ng dugo sa mga selulang ito ay maaaring magawa sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng gamot na pangtunaw ng bara sa dugo, plasminogen activator (t-PA), sa loob ng 3 oras ng pag-umpisa ng atake sa utak.
Maraming neuroprotective na gamot ang sinusubukan upang mapigilan ang pagkalat ng pinsala pagkatapos ng unang atake.
Lagi nang ipinalalagay (inaakala) na hindi naiiwasan o nalulunasan ang atake sa utak. Dagdag pa rito ang maling paniniwalang karaniwang matatanda lamang ang nagkakaroon ng atake sa utak at sa gayon, ito ay di masyadong binibigyang pansin.
At dahil sa maling paniniwalang ito, ang karaniwang pasyente ng atake sa utak ay naghihintay pa ng 12 oras bago itakbo sa emergency room. Ang mga nag-aalaga ay naghihintay pa ng ilang sandali sa halip na asikasuhin ang atake sa utak bilang isang medikal ng kagipitan.
Mga Sintomas o Palatandaan
Madaling makita ang mga sintomas ng atake sa utak tulad ng...
• biglaang pamamanhid o panghihina, lalo na sa isang bahagi ng katawan
• biglaang pagkalito
• hirap sa pagsasalita o pang-unawa sa pagsasalita
• biglaang hirap sa paningin ng isa o parehong mata
• biglaang hirap sa paglakad, pagkahilo o kawalan ng balanse o koordinasyon
• biglaang malubhang sakit ng ulo ng walang masabing dahilan.
Ang atake sa utak ay karaniwang malalaman ang pagkakaiba sa ibang sanhi ng pagkahilo o sakit ng ulo. Ang mga sintomas na ito ay makapagpapahiwatig na ang atake sa utak ay nangyari na at isang agarang medikal na atensyon ang kinakailangan.
Mga Elemento ng Panganib (Risk Factors)
Ang pinakamahalagang elemento ng panganib ng atake sa utak ay mataas na presyon ng dugo, sakit sa puso, dyabetis, at paninigarilyo. Ang iba naman ay dala ng labis na pag-inom ng alak, mataas na kolesterol, paggamit ng bawal na gamot, mga sakit dulot ng henetika o mga kondisyon sa pagkabata, lalung-lalo na an mga abnormal na kundisyon sa dugo.
Madaliang Paggaling
Sa mga di malamang dahilan, kusang pinupunan ng utak ang pinsalang sanhi ng atake sa utak. Maaaring ang ilang selula ng utak ay pansamantalang napinsala, pero di namatay, at maaaring makapagpatuloy ng tungkulin nito. Sa ibang mga sitwasyon, maaaring isaayos ng utak ang sarili nitong pagganap. Minsan naman, pinatatakbo ng isang rehiyon ng utak ang bahaging napinsala ng atake sa utak. Ang mga nakaligtas sa atake sa utak ay nakararanas ng di-inaasahan at kapansin-pansing paggaling na hindi rin kayang maipaliwanag sa ilang pagkakataon.
Pinakikita ng pangkalahatang paggaling na:
- tinatalang 10% ng mga nakaligtas sa atake sa utak ay nakaranas ng halos lubusang paggaling
- tinatalang 25% ang gumaling na may konting kapansanan
- tinatalang 40% ang nakaranas ng katamtaman hanggang malubhang kapansanang nangangailangan ng espesyal na pag-aalaga
- tinatalang 10% ang nangangailangan ng pag-aalaga sa isang institusyon o lugar na may pasilidad para sa mas mahabang pag-aalaga
- tinatalang 15% ang namatay agad pagkatapos ng atake sa utak.
Pagpapagaling
Ang pagpapagaling ay nagsisimula sa ospital agad-agad pagkatapos ng atake sa utak. Sa mga pasyenteng maganda ang kondisyon, nagsisimula ang pagpapagaling sa loob ng 2 araw pagkatapos mangyari ang atake sa utak at kailangang ipagpatuloy hanggang kinakailangan pagkalabas ng ospital. Kabilang sa mga opsyon ng pagpapagaling ay ang mga sumusunod: ang rehab unit ng ospital, lugar na nagbibigay ng subacute care, isang espesyalistang ospital, terapyutika sa tahanan, pangangalaga sa labas ng ospital, o mahabaang panahon ng pag-aalaga sa isang nakabantay na nars.
Ang layunin sa pagpapagaling ay upang pagbutihin ang kilos ng isang biktima ng atake sa utak at matutong umasa sa sarili habang maaari. Ito ay kinakailangan gawin sa paraan na maalagaan ang dignidad ng pasyente habang tinutulungan siyang matutunan ang mga pangunahing kakayahan na naapektuhan ng atake sa puso, tulad ng pagsuporta sa sarili sa pagkain, pagdadamit, paglalakad, at iba pa.
Bagaman ang atake sa utak ay karamdamang dala ng karamdaman ng utak, naaapektuhan nito ang buong katawan. Ilan sa mga kapansanang dulot ng atake sa utak ay pagkaparalisa, kakulangan sa pang-unawa, paghihirap sa pananalita, problema sa emosyon, problema sa pang-araw-araw na pamumuhay, at kirot.
Ang atake sa utak ay maaari ring makapagdulot ng problema sa pag-iisip, kamalayan, atensyon, kaalaman, panghuhusga at alaala o memoriya. Maaaring hindi namamalayan ng isang pasyente ng atake sa utak ang nangyayari sa kanyang kapaligiran, o hindi mamalayan ang mga metal na pagkukulang na maidudulot nito.
Madalas na nagkakaroon ng problema sa pang-unawa o sa pagbuo ng salita ang mga biktima ng atake sa utak. Ito ang karaniwang resulta kung ang temporal at parietal na liha sa kaliwang panig ng utak ang napinsala.
Maaaring humantong sa problemang emosyon ang atake sa utak. Nahihirapang pigilan ng isang biktima ng atake sa utak ang kanyang emosyon o maaari din magpahiwatig ng maling emosyon sa ilang sitwasyon. Isang karaniwang kapansanan na nangyayari sa maraming biktima ng atake sa utak ay ang depresyon - ito ay higit pa sa karaniwang kalungkutang sanhi ng atake sa utak.

Ang mga pakiramdam na ito ay karaniwang dulot ng maraming bagay tulad ng pinsala sa mga ng utak na pinagmumulan ng sensasyon, pagtigas ng mga kasu-kasuan, o napinsalang bisig o paa.

Chest x-ray
Yan ang chest x-ray result ng isang pasyente ko kaninang umaga. Yung white spot sa itaas, bandang kaliwa ay bukol na kasing laki ng kamao. One year ago ang sukat niyan ay parang sininguelas lang. Kaso wala naman daw nararamdaman kaya hinyaan lang maski pinayuhan na noon na ipa-biopsy.
Hanggang itong January kung kailan siya ay inubo at sumuka ng dugo tsaka lang nagpa-biopsy. Ang resulta small cell carcinoma, isang uri ng lung cancer na very aggressive, mabilis lumaki at kumalat. Ang medical history ng pasyente ay smoker mula daw teenager at tumigil kamakailan lang. Sa ngayon isa lang payo ng mga kinunsulta niyang doktor, chemotherapy.
Ngunit sa anumang personal na dahilan ayaw ni Sir magpa-chemo. Kaya pinayuhan ko ng mga supportive management.
Ang lung cancer kadalasan by the time na may nararamdaman ang pasyente nasa stage 3 o 4 na. Kaya regular o annual check up with chest xray ay mahalaga for early detection and treatment.

Reading Comprehension.
What is Reading Comprehension?
Apple banana blue walk tree happy sing. Surely you were able to read each of the words in that sentence and understand what they meant independently. An apple is a fruit that is usually round and red, green or yellow. A banana is another fruit that is yellow. Blue is a color…and so on and so forth. However, when you look at the sentence as a whole, does it make sense? Probably not. This nonsense sentence demonstrates the difference between being able to read words and comprehend text. As practiced readers we may take this distinction for granted since the acts of reading and comprehension occur almost simultaneously for us. For developing readers this relationship is not as apparent, but is essential for them to become strong, capable readers.
What exactly IS reading comprehension?
Simply put, reading comprehension is the act of understanding what you are reading. While the definition can be simply stated the act is not simple to teach, learn or practice. Reading comprehension is an intentional, active, interactive process that occurs before, during and after a person reads a particular piece of writing.
Reading comprehension is one of the pillars of the act of reading. When a person reads a text he engages in a complex array of cognitive processes. He is simultaneously using his awareness and understanding of phonemes (individual sound “pieces” in language), phonics (connection between letters and sounds and the relationship between sounds, letters and words) and ability to comprehend or construct meaning from the text. This last component of the act of reading is reading comprehension. It cannot occur independent of the other two elements of the process. At the same time, it is the most difficult and most important of the three.
There are two elements that make up the process of reading comprehension: vocabulary knowledge and text comprehension. In order to understand a text the reader must be able to comprehend the vocabulary used in the piece of writing. If the individual words don’t make the sense then the overall story will not either. Children can draw on their prior knowledge of vocabulary, but they also need to continually be taught new words. The best vocabulary instruction occurs at the point of need. Parents and teachers should pre-teach new words that a child will encounter in a text or aid her in understanding unfamiliar words as she comes upon them in the writing. In addition to being able to understand each distinct word in a text, the child also has to be able to put them together to develop an overall conception of what it is trying to say. This is text comprehension. Text comprehension is much more complex and varied that vocabulary knowledge. Readers use many different text comprehension strategies to develop reading comprehension. These include monitoring for understanding, answering and generating questions, summarizing and being aware of and using a text’s structure to aid comprehension.
How does reading comprehension develop?
As you can see, reading comprehension is incredibly complex and multifaceted. Because of this, readers do not develop the ability to comprehend texts quickly, easily or independently. Reading comprehension strategies must be taught over an extended period of time by parents and teachers who have knowledge and experience using them. It might seem that once a child learns to read in the elementary grades he is able to tackle any future text that comes his way. This is not true. Reading comprehension strategies must be refined, practiced and reinforced continually throughout life. Even in the middle grades and high school, parents and teachers need to continue to help their children develop reading comprehension strategies. As their reading materials become more diverse and challenging, children need to learn new tools for comprehending these texts. Content area materials such as textbooks and newspaper, magazine and journal articles pose different reading comprehension challenges for young people and thus require different comprehension strategies. The development of reading comprehension is a lifelong process that changes based on the depth and breadth of texts the person is reading.
Why is reading comprehension so important?
Without comprehension, reading is nothing more than tracking symbols on a page with your eyes and sounding them out. Imagine being handed a story written in Egyptian hieroglyphics with no understanding of their meaning. You may appreciate the words aesthetically and even be able to draw some small bits of meaning from the page, but you are not truly reading the story. The words on the page have no meaning. They are simply symbols. People read for many reasons but understanding is always a part of their purpose. Reading comprehension is important because without it reading doesn’t provide the reader with any information.
Beyond this, reading comprehension is essential to life. Much has been written about the importance of functional literacy. In order to survive and thrive in today’s world individuals must be able to comprehend basic texts such as bills, housing agreements (leases, purchase contracts), directions on packaging and transportation documents (bus and train schedules, maps, travel directions). Reading comprehension is a critical component of functional literacy. Think of the potentially dire effects of not being able to comprehend dosage directions on a bottle of medicine or warnings on a container of dangerous chemicals. With the ability to comprehend what they read, people are able not only to live safely and productively, but also to continue to develop socially, emotionally and intellectually.

SUshi
Sushi Rice and Sushi Rolling Instructions
Don't be scared to try your hand at making Sushi. Soon, you'll be rolling sushi like a pro and coming up with your own fun of sushi fillings!
Rice Yield: 8 rolls
Serving suggestion: 2-3 rolls per person
Prep Time15 mins
Cook Time10 mins
Total Time25 mins
Ingredients
For the Sushi Rice
- 2 c white rice, dry
- 2 c cold water
- ¼ c rice vinegar
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 ½ tsp salt
Instructions
For the Rice
- Place rice in a fine sieve, and rinse until water runs clear.
- In a large saucepan, mix together water and rice. Cover and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and cook 15 minutes.
- After 15 min, turn heat off and let rice set, covered for 10 min.
- In a small bowl, mix together vinegar, sugar, and salt until sugar dissolves.
- Pour over rice and mix well to coat.
- Cool rice to room temperature before using in sushi.
For the Maki Rolls
- Place your nori, shiny side down, on the bamboo rolling mat.
- Cover 2/3 of the nori (from the short end) with 1/3 - 1/2 c sushi rice. You'll want the rice layer about 1/8" thick. If the rice is too sticky to spread easily, moisten your fingers with water before spreading.
- Lay filling ingredients in a nice line, 1/3 of the way up the nori.
- Take the bamboo mat and gently pull the bottom section (with just 1/3 of rice) up over the filling. Continue to roll the sushi, pulling the mat straight away from you to coax a nice roll. Once the roll is complete, pick up the mat with the roll and press firmly. This will press the rice in to position, and the last naked bit of nori will stick to itself, sealing the roll.
- Cut your roll using a large, sharp knife. If you find things sticking to the knife as you cut, moisten it slightly with a little water.
- Serve with pickled ginger, soy sauce, and/or wasabi as desired.

Lesson
May mahalagang bagay akong natutuhan sa driving lesson na ito.
♦️My instructor told me, “Do not focus on the cone, look on where you’re going. If you focus your eyes on the cone you will definitely hit them. Focus your eyes to your way and your guide so you can reach your destination.”
Pagkasabi nya nun, parang may kidlat na dumaan sa harap ko. Parang sa buhay lng ng tao. Kung magfocus ka talaga sa obstacle mo, hirap, sakit, negativity, you will definitely have more to the extent na magiging sobrang galing na lagi mo silang naattract sa buhay, dahil naka focus ka sa kanila.
Pero kung nakikita mo yun “cone” (obstacles) sa buhay at ang tingin mo ay kung paano malalampasan yun, darating ang panahon na malalagpasan mo din lahat.
♦️Yun mga cone nilagay sa practice of driving para matuto ka lalo, para gumaling ka, para umunlad ang Skills mo. Cones are there not to harm you, but to prepare you and teach you. Kaya nasa sayo lng kung paano mo sila makikita.
🙏What are your cones and obstacle in life?
🙏Are the cones are there to harm you and bring you more hardship and pain?
🙏Or they are put there to level you up, so you can become the better version of you?
Driving lesson lng ito, pero sa ibang bagay ko sya nakikita. Nakapag reflect ako sa buhay ng tao, sa buhay natin.
Magandang araw sa nagbabasa, sana umabot sayo ang mensahe ko. ❤️❤️

♦️Yun mga cone nilagay sa practice of driving para matuto ka lalo, para gumaling ka, para umunlad ang Skills mo. Cones are there not to harm you, but to prepare you and teach you. Kaya nasa sayo lng kung paano mo sila makikita.
🙏What are your cones and obstacle in life?
🙏Are the cones are there to harm you and bring you more hardship and pain?
🙏Or they are put there to level you up, so you can become the better version of you?
Driving lesson lng ito, pero sa ibang bagay ko sya nakikita. Nakapag reflect ako sa buhay ng tao, sa buhay natin.
Magandang araw sa nagbabasa, sana umabot sayo ang mensahe ko. ❤️❤️

Food to avoid
This section would not be complete without a list of foods to avoid. Health
professionals caution us to avoid all these, or at least greatly limit them.
• Refined white flour and sugar and everything made from them: bread, pastry, packaged cereals, pies, doughnuts, ice cream, cookies, candy bars, and so much more.
• Processed meats (even all-beef or poultry): hot dogs, bacon, sausages, bologna and luncheon meats. Most all these items contain nitrates and/or nitrites—known carcinogens to be avoided!
• Cream cheese, margarine, and mayonnaise (these items contain undesirable chemicals; mayonnaise found in the health food section is better, but beware of rancid foods).
• Carbonated beverages. Also avoid excessive alcohol, coffee or tea.
PHYSICAL FASTING
There are two types of physical fasts:
(1) Water fasting, which now has relatively fewer advocates. This was popular prior to the mid-1900s.
(2) Juice fasting, which produces the same successful results, with additional key benefits.
Limiting toxins around the home includes some of these guidelines: Avoid using air freshener sprays, certain cleaning sprays, bug killers and even hair sprays. If using hair spray, consider spraying it outside the house. Also, when bringing clothes home from the dry cleaners, it is best to remove the plastic covers and let the clothes air out (while outdoors) for a time before bringing them into the home. Volatile chemicals are used in the cleaning process.
The principle of rest applies to both the physical and spiritual planes. Notice what occurred at the end of the creation week: “And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made” (Gen. 2:2).
God set the standard by which man was to rest from all his physical labors and dedicate the time to spiritual matters. (Though He did not literally need to rest.) Aside from being a time of spiritual renewal, the Sabbath day is an opportunity to physically and mentally recuperate after six days of work. Notice: “Six days shall you labor, and do all your work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord your God: in it you shall not do any work…” (Ex. 20:9-10).
The land Sabbath, in which the land lies idle and “rests” every seven years, is an extension of the same principle. The Creator revealed that even the land must be allowed time to recharge: “Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof; but in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the Lord: you shall neither sow your field, nor prune your vineyard” (Lev. 25:3- 4). Unless the land is allowed to achieve chemical equilibrium, which comes through periodically lying dormant, the produce grown on it diminishes in quality. However, men continue to defy this law!
Just as the land Sabbath recharges the soil, resting on the weekly Sabbath invigorates man. Of course, to function properly, the daily cycle of sleep is necessary. This vital time is not wasted. Without sufficient sleep, biological systems break down.
The amount of required sleep varies with individuals. Some can function with as little as five hours. Others require nine or so. Eight hours is normal for most. When circumstances dictate, one can function with much less sleep for a time. This shows how the body adapts to meet life’s demands. Exercise and fasting increase one’s need for sleep. They also promote deeper, sounder sleep.
Sufficient sleep pays wonderful dividends. It allows one to operate at greater capacity the next day. One is better prepared, physically and mentally, to face the challenges of the new day. Sometimes, circumstances require one to work later and sacrifice sleep. Students often skip needed sleep to study for tests or complete assignments at the last moment. Advance preparation is always better than last minute sacrifices. At any rate, lost sleep is rarely ever redeemed.
Of all the body’s critical needs, sleep and rest are the most crucial. The body can survive longer without water than it can without the bare minimum of sleep and rest. Just as land denied its Sabbath rest becomes depleted, the body becomes depleted when pushed to exhaustion without rest. Therefore, allow your body ample time to rest. Too much is at stake!
The practice of hygiene is closely related to order and organization. Notice the following scripture: “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints” (I Cor. 14:33). Verse 40 continues, “Let all things be done decently and in order.”
These verses primarily apply to how people should conduct themselves in the Church. But they extend to all areas of life.
In every arena, an absence of conscious effort to maintain order results in confusion and disorder. Pertaining to the human body, the neglect of personal hygiene is demonstrated by the image of the 1960s hippie. Filth, confusion, and disorder are only natural when one defers to laziness, making no effort to promote cleanliness and order. Consider. Without man’s intervention, a natural equilibrium results between the plant and animal kingdoms. This environmental balance is another way the creation regulates itself.
Within man’s environment—his living quarters, personal hygiene, and anywhere that man is present—the “laissez faire” (leave it alone or hands off) principle that works within the ecosystem no longer applies. Man is supposed to put forth effort and work to keep his immediate environment clean and in order. Notice: “And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it” (Gen. 2:15). To dress and keep the garden meant much sustained effort and work. God wants us to produce and accomplish.
Give careful attention to the basic requirements of personal hygiene. Make a conscious effort to keep your living quarters clean and orderly. Garbage must be continually collected and disposed of. Do not allow it to accumulate wherever it falls. The condition inside and outside a home reflects whether a family practices these godly principles.
Certain hygienic practices acceptable in the 1800s and early 1900s are unacceptable today. Allowing body odor is an example. This could cost a promotion at work, or sometimes determine whether one is even retained.
Cleanliness of the hair, nails, teeth and breath should be maintained for personal health. It also demonstrates self-refinement. When one puts forth the effort of personal grooming and neatness, an acceptable self-respect is maintained. Personal hygiene, cleanliness and appropriate dress for every occasion help set the mind on a higher plane.
Accidents pose their own often overlooked threat to good health. Most accidents happen to people who are preoccupied. More often, they occur when one is in a hurry to meet a deadline. Sometimes just getting the job done seems to take precedence over doing it safely.
