Living in the Fear Zone
Jul 16th
Yes, I’m living in a region on an intensive care unit gasping terribly for air, breathing heavily and painfully.
Most of our lives, we’ve been praying for peace. But it seems impossible when everybody could see that peace being held in captive, struggling to be set free.
The current news here in Mindanao about bombing, kidnapping, name it! …News kept on flooding that seem to die hard, new ones added to the headache, returning issues like bombing just made the scenario worse and the continuing ones has kept its pace. Whew! Sometimes it’s such a heartbreaking thought knowing, seeing and feeling their existence. And it surely makes my eyes bleed reading them again and again.
These inhumane acts are a constant treat. Every place has been put onto suspicion. Everyone gets fear that anytime a bomb could explode and a war that will take away innocent lives.
Is there any place in the world worth to be called safe? I’m still hoping these incidents will not completely eradicated. If we only could get rid of the violence and let humanity grow then maybe that’s when peace will fly again.

So far, I have attended the two summits.

To my fellow Mindanao Bloggers, See you there!
Techie Grandmoms
Jul 7th
Many issues involving late adulthood in relation to modern time had been driven out. You may say that it’s not a common thing to converse with- what’s the big deal? Yeah, but consider this: our grandfathers and grandmothers are part of this big community.
From infancy to adolescent to late adulthood stage, we undergo a lot of changes. Now spew all your favorite theories about Freud, Erickson, personality, behavior, you name it.. It’s true as you know. The only thing that is certain in this world is change.
As grown- ups in the changing world, how are we able to adjust? Not only have our days become longer but life per se seems to move faster- once again facilitated by technology. We’re getting the hang of maximizing the space in the planet. From horse- drawn carriage to fast cars, bullet trains and jet airplanes. From bulky analogs, we made wee cellphones. From typewriters and conventional mail to computers, fax machines and e-mail.
