She witnessed the cheers, the gleaming faces, the pose that talk different stories – the victories, the candid laughter, the striking masquerade, the giggles of get together, the tears of parting, the defeat, and the hope of gleaming eyes. More to these, she made history; she nurtured friendship, bridged the gap of loneliness, and captured the firsts in life that will last for a life time.
It was on June 2003 during my high school graduation when I received her, a wonderful present and priceless in use. I was flying on cloud nine. I was the first at school to have her. That made a real history in my journey in life, the commencement in the recording of my firsts in life. Graduation was pretty sad but I was able to enjoy the last moments with my friends by capturing their smiles, my first time to capture their cheery faces. After that, my friends went on to different schools, but I wasn’t sad at all because I got the life time memories of them.
She was with me in my journey throughout college life, during my “firsts” in the struggles of coping with the pressures and demands at school and at the same time my “firsts” in TGIF gigs, joyrides and side trips. The first thing that she made a blast in my academic life was with my group’s community documentation. Being a student nurse, going to community service and duty was a tough job coupled with the thought-provoking, detailed documentation. That was a big challenge for us and fortunately with her help, my group’s first community-diagnosis document presentation was a total blast; we received the Best Documentation Award. She made clear proof of our struggles, crams, and working out till wee hours. With that awesome “first experience”, everything followed in an astounding way. The time we were exposed to the hospital environment, she made the “firsts experience” unforgettable. Every hospital unit became a photo studio; the group hugs at the Operating Room after a success abdominal surgery, the striking pose of tired bodies but with glowing smiles after a nerve-wracking ER experience, the jovial stance after seeing a baby born, and other countless “firsts” hospital duty experience. But of course college life isn’t complete without the shenanigans, gigs, drinking spree, and unplanned road trips and my dear fella she was there – always there to record the special events and the not so special events but would definitely be after years, or maybe at the time when we’re all toothless. But the biggest impact that she gave to me was the priceless remembrance with my beloved clients. The memories with a 5-year old boy with a grave congenital heart disease that every click from her made my client smile. My first experience at psychiatric centers with my friendly clients who were very amused looking at our group pictures during the dance presentation, recreational activities, and group study. My first experience with a mother who underwent caesarean delivery of her first baby that the picture I took with his daughter at the Neonatal Intensive Unit made a great relief on her part. My first experience with a family who suffered a protracted pain of seeing their son lying on bed with tubes of respirator that the only way they could spend their time with him was to say stories and to take pictures. And my first experience with myself after looking at the pictures taken by her, my first Sony Digital Camera that made me realize how lucky I am and how beautiful life is. My first Sony Digital Camera doesn’t only capture events but life itself.
It definitely gave significance in my life just like the Sony’s World’s First 24.6 MP Full Frame DSLR: α900 DLSR Camera, which will really make my life-capturing activity more fun, clear, lively and priceless.
December One, the first day of jingle bells Christmas month. Okay, for today lets talk about something light, something interesting both for kiddoes and for adults who are not sexually active. Tadah, the magical treats of
Chocolates
Oh gee, I’m a certified chocoholic, an addiction –“Once you consume chocolate, chocolate will consume you”. And sometimes chocolate is better than sex. Dr. Ruth Westheimer says that “the taste of chocolate is a sensual pleasure in itself, existing in the same world as sex... For myself, I can enjoy the wicked pleasure of chocolate... entirely by myself. Furtiveness makes it better”
So before we talk about the interesting tidbits about Choc-ohh-late, lets review these facts: First and foremost, you gotta know that
Chocolate is a Vegetable
, believe or not,
LOL
Where does chocolate come from? Actually, it DOES grow on trees. It all starts with a small tropical tree, the Theobroma cacao, usually called simply, "cacao." (Pronounced ka-KOW. Theobroma is Greek for "food of the gods.") What are the health benefits of chocolates? Many, many!!! According to Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, if one swallows a cup of chocolate only three hours after a copious lunch, everything will be perfectly digested and there will still be room for dinner. It’s
good for digestion
Some says that a nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Now, isn't that handy? So it’s an
instant energy supplier
Chocolate causes certain endocrine glands to secrete hormones that affect your feelings and behavior by making you happy. Therefore, it counteracts depression, in turn reducing the stress of depression. Your stress-free life helps you maintain a youthful disposition, both physically and mentally. Meaning to say, Chocolate is an
Anti-depressant
Here’s one great news that I’ve learned about chocolate, way back high school, the mighty power of chocolates - Scientists have proven that dark chocolate has the same type of
flavonoids
that
antioxidant
rich foods such as green tea, red fruits and vegetables, and red wine do. High blood levels of flavonoids contribute to good cardiovascular health and may lower the risk of heart disease and certain cancers. Nutritionists are quick to point out, though, that the antioxidant benefits of a bar of chocolate can be achieved with far fewer calories by having steamed vegetables or a cup of green tea instead. See? But later on, I’ve read that proteins deactivate/alter the function of flavonoids as antioxidant, so it’s recommended to eat
BLACK Chocolate
Got it buddies? Weeeeeeeeee…..
Before I say goodbye, lemme tell you this gossip, Did you hear about the affair between Mr. Goodbar and Peppermint Patty? They had a baby, Ruth.
And with the reliable statistics: “A new British survey has revealed that 9 out of 10 people like Chocolate. The tenth lies.”
And with this inspiring quote: Strength is the capacity to break a chocolate bar into four pieces with your bare hands - and then eat just one of the pieces
Oppsie, before you indulge yourself with bon bon, drop a gift for me amigo!!!
