I've been telling my husband to update his blog... he hasn't written anything since January. I knew it, he was just good at the start. This means that I have to remind him again from time to time that he should spend sometime here (talk about a nagging wife :p) . So I am here now writing something...

February was not so busy month for us but it was tough. I got sick with chicken pox which requires us to buy the 'expensive' but 'very effective' medicine. It was expensive because the branded medicine which we bought from Pfizer costs P166.++ each. I have to take this tablet 4x everyday. This means that I should buy medicines worth P664.++ When G asked if they have generic medicine for ancyclovir, they said that it was out of stock. Poor hubby, he has to shell out P700 for the a day supply of medicine. The next day, he found cheaper generic medicines at a drugstore in Alabang. From P166.++, this generic medicine was only P60.++. He was able to save P100 on every medicine that he bought.

So what am I saying here? I simply wanted people to know that generic medicines have the same components as the branded medicines. The only difference is that you are paying for the NAME of the branded medicine. Both have the same effect since generic medicines are patterned or 'copied' from the branded. The branded are just more expensive because the company was responsible in doing the research and studies for the drug. Consumers are paying for the fees that was incurred during the development of the drug. Generic drugs, on the other hand, was formulated by breaking down the components of the branded medicine.

In a country like Philippines, it should be implemented that doctors should recommend generic drugs. The bill on the use of Generic drugs should be approved because it will help a lot of people, especially those who can not afford to buy the branded medicines.

        

I've been seeing Reynaldo 'Simon' Lapuz on the television the past days. For those who still don't know him, he is one of the contestants in American Idol 7.  He is like the others who did their best in showing in 'talents'. He sang a song entitled 'We are Brothers, Brothers Forever'. The comment he got from Simon was, 'you are entertaining, but NO'. Despite this, he thanked Simon for giving him a chance to perform his talent...

Now, is he a pride to the Filipinos? Or did he degrade the Filipino race? I just saw the full video of his performance through youtube. I think he looked funny. He had this cowboy hat and a silver cape. He looked ridiculous... while he was performing, I was sad because I think he was just another Filipino who is trying to make the Filipinos looked 'tanga' to the world. As he was asked to repeat his song, I felt angry at him because they were already making him look like a fool but he still continued with his singing. BUT when Simon said NO to him and still he thanked him for giving him the chance to show his singing, I was touched. He showed a POSITIVE FILIPINO TRAIT. He was so humble and thankful. He showed the world that Filipinos know how to show their gratitude whenever they are given the chance. He was able to show that Filipinos are good people, accepting defeat with heads still up.

I salute Reynaldo Lapuz. He is my brother and I am proud that he is a Filipino. He might not speak English fluently, he may be too old to be an American Idol and he may not have the looks... who cares, he is now famous and a lot of people are already singing his song. He might be more famous than the real winner of American Idol 7.

        

    I remember during my first job as a lecturer at Informatics my boss usually says "Once you step on this carpet(office entrance) forget all your personal problems and start working for your problems here". Maybe she is true with her statement. We have different roles in our lives, and once you stepped on your role carpet perform your job well. 
    Sometimes we cannot avoid bringing our personal problems in our workplace or even bringing our workplace at our homes, this is normal specially when we are not on a rush for a deadline and continue doing it at home or weeping at the office when our beloved ones left us. But I dont think its normal when you are doin it most of the time. Our role for every carpet that we stepped is affected  by those unrelated matters. we cannot perform well in our office if we keep on thinking personal problems and if you brought your work at your homes then it might affect your quality time for your family.
    So lessons says, "WATCH YOUR STEP", it might get you into trouble if you dont.

        

I have been reading and hearing news about Father Suarez lately. For those who are not familiar with him, he is a Filipino healing priest. He started his healing sessions when he was still in Canada. He lives there most of time and he only visits the Philippines. The past few days, there have been many issues coming out because he 'deliberately' held his healing sessions without the permission of the bishop of the province where he had his healing mass. Because of that, he is now being questioned not only because of his gift of healing but for being  a 'hard-headed' priest. There was also other issues regarding the donations that he is receiving from people who he was able to cure.

I attended his healing mass once. It was held in Megamall sometime last year, 2007. I was lucky because we were able to catch up with the healing session which was incorporated with the mass. I would say that he speaks well and he can really touch your heart. While he was speaking, I felt that there was this energy coming from my head, going down to my tummy area. I can also feel that my tears were silently flowing down my cheeks. Then he ended the session and continued with the mass. There was no touching session (this is the healing session proper) that happened after the mass because he was getting ready to go to Baguio that night. After the mass, I still felt the same but inside me I knew that I was touched. Not by Fr. Suarez' healing but with the Holy Spirit.

So what I am trying to say here is that when you hear the word faith healing, it shouldn't depend on who healed you but rather it is more on what healed you. God is an invincible being and because of faith, we are able to believe in him. He doesn't need to come out in front of us just to make us believe. Knowing that he exist is already enough because that is our faith. Fr. Suarez is merely an instrument of God. He makes way for God, just like what John the Baptist did for Jesus. He heals because the people who go to him believes that they will be treated, that God is making them well through the priest and not the other way round.

Can Fr. Suarez really heal the sick or is he a hoax? I can not answer that. I don't even know if I was already healed when we attended his mass but I know that I'll be better when God wants me to feel better.

        

They say that open communication with your family members makes strong pillars. Strong pillars that may protect your kingdom. I grew up with a family that I might say I could be proud of in such a way that they thought us to be independent. Both my parents work for the government. My Mom is an official in our locality while my Papa is a Military officer. Though my father is a military still we didnt apply its rule to our family, maybe because my mom is the commanding general(kidding) in our house and she did not like it even. During our growing up years my 2 brothers and my sister grew together with my mother while my papa is assigned to another province to do his service. During that time I always have this pride that I have my papa who is a military officer. Someone that could defend me incase that if Im in trouble. I remember When I was in high school I have this schoolmate who got into trouble and this schoolmate of mine went back to school together with his father with his army in full battle gear, of course with that incident my schoolmate went untouchable and most of my schoolmates are scared of him, but not me. I believe that someday when I got into trouble I have my father also to defend me during that time. One day the trouble that I've been expecting came, but since my father is not with us, no one does what the father of my schoolmate did, but surprisingly here comes wonder woman, my mother. Attacking at the principal's office to defend me on what happend. Instead of becoming untouchable and proud, I went to become a teasing guy, Whenever I got into trouble they always telling that I might tell it again to my mom to attack at the principal's office. At that time I feel like that it was a disgrace, it is disgusting just like hiding to my mother's skirt. Since then, whenever I got into trouble I just do it alone my self, without any help from my father whose a military officer, doing unlikely things like joining frat wars, vices, going home late and this is without the knowledge of anyone of my parents most specially my father. But I surpassed everything. Surpassed those wrong things that happened to my life. I thought being independent while solving trouble at your own will make you a better being, but its not... we still need our father our pillar. And if only he knew how much we need him those days maybe we don't have this pride of growing without him, We don't have usual arguments with my siblings. Well... Maybe I should not blame him, because he chose his job rather than his family for us to study and for the living at the same time and that was his choice. What he did was he inspired me not to do it to my future family. At this point of time, as much as possible I want to be a "Hands-On family man". Great communication with my family that would makes us strong.
