FLASH FLOOD PIX : CREDITS TO THOSE WHO TOOK THEM

I have posted in VSK8SHOP about what happened to the Caballero Family during the Cagayan de Oro River FLASH FLOOD... Although I wanted to go with my father to take pictures of the damage or the actual scenario, I could not. Mainly because yesterday, I had a greater role to play at home and we are far away from the site. As a blogger, it would have been a great opportunity to write an important story and show pictures too. But I was never given that opportunity. I had to stay where I was. This morning I wanted to go to the relief station (to see how we would help aside from the food donation and used clothing), where the rest of the victims were evacuated--The Balulang National High School. But dysmenorrhea hit me with a very bad headache and I was sprawled on all fours with my tummy pushed on three pillows to fight the pain. I hated the feeling. Now that it's all better, I am here blogging about nothing, until I chanced upon the multiply and facebook accounts of my brother demolay, Titus Velez. He was able to capture the event mainly because their house became the dropping point for food and help for the victims and rescue workers alike, not to mention, he was also one of the rescue volunteers. All pictures gave me shivers to the bone...here's the link for the first batch of photos, and click here for more.

Another one I have seen online is a photo by Dustein Sibug, the one you see here. The photo was taken after the flash flood in nearby Nazareth. There were many barangays hit by the flash flood. Many properties destroyed. Hopefully, no life is ever destroyed. Oh, except animals...I heard that the cows and goats that were almost dying were killed and cooked for the keeper's consumption. Those that survived are at teh mercy of whoever found them...good for those who are waiting for the owners of the animals to claim them...whew...what a calamity.

I guess for the Nth time, this is a wake up call to all of us people...we should plant more trees. Take care of our environment and REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE....

By the way, if you have more pix, feel free to link them to thios post. Thank you.

BEAUTY & MADNESS

A friend of mine got married the other month. She married a man who is three times as old as her. She told us that she married him for love and not for his money. Well, she is our friend so we are very supportive of her. After a month of being married, my friend calls one of the girls and cries her heart out, saying that she wants her husband to have cosmetic surgery for men. So immediately, we girls gathered and talked about what could be her problem. It so happened that a tactless waitress in one of the restaurants of one of the cities they visited for their honeymoon commented that her husband is as old as her grandfather. What with the grayish white hair, the bulging stomach, the wrinkles and the droopy eyes. My friend was really hit by what the woman told her to the point that she questioned her real feelings for her husband. But of course, she cannot tell him her feelings for fear of what might happen afterward.

Anyway, we girls decided to look for alternatives or for solutions or suggestions we could find. They will be leaving for the UK next month for another trip, so I was thinking, if he has all the money, might as well do it there. Problem is, how our dear little lady would open it up to her husband.

So here is my part of the search for solution/suggestion. Of course, being the person who's always online, might as well look for my suggestions online. And thanks to google, I found a site that matches my query. I went to www.mya.co.uk, there I found MYA Cosmetic Surgery which offers a range of affordable, flexible finance packages to help create and beautify anyone interested, be it men or women. I found that the most popular male cosmetic surgery procedures are as follows: Rhinoplasty or Reshaping of the nose, Gynaecomastia or commonly known as Chest Reduction for males, Pectoral Implants or what we call Male Breast Enlargement, of course the most common of all, Liposuction or the Removal of Fat from all the areas affected. And here's the most interesting, Otoplasty or what is known as Ear Reshaping..Whew...and I thought women are the only ones who are vain...hahahha...

There are more interesting facts I have read in their site. Anyway, if there are men out there who are interested, please visit their site through this link here. As for women with the same dillema as my friend, well, consultation is FREE...hehehe...hope my friend is okay with this contribution of mine...I await her comment...hehehe...
