Who am i..


Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.

Bridge:
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.

Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.

Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again.
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.

Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.


I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.

Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.


I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.

I am yours.

Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am yours.
I am yours.

Effect of computer games..



Well, many parents worry about the mind bending influence computer games might have on their children. But one researcher in the United Kingdom has been investigating a much more tangible side effect: computer games can occasionally induce epileptic fits.

It's a form of a condition called Photosensitive Epilepsy. Professor Graham Harding and his colleagues at the University of Aston in Birmingham have studied a group of such children and adolescents who had convulsions whilst playing at the computer.

It's relatively rare in the population. It occurs at one in three and a half thousand. It's more common in girls than boys, about sixty to forty - which is different from epilepsy, which is slightly more males than females. But the interesting thing about it is that it most commonly occurs around puberty.

And so most photosensitives are between seven and 19 years of age when they have their first attack. Which means that in that population, if someone comes into the surgery and they've had a convulsion, there is a one in ten chance that it was precipitated by a flickering light or a pattern.

Photosensitivity is a strange condition. You have to have a hyper-excitable visual cortex, and a low convulsive threshold. That means that if you or I were presented with a flashing light in a discotheque or something, our brain automatically damps that down. In these patients, it doesn't. And so if that flicker goes on, and it's at the right flash rate, then they will be precipitated into a convulsion.

One in four patients lose photosensitivity. But the other three out of the four will continue for the rest of their lives, even up to 70, 80 years of age.

Now the classic case that you used to read in the medical textbooks was the person with the stroboscopic lamp, who fell down and had a fit, and sometimes with a flickering television. But you've discovered - or you've been working on - a form of photosensitive epilepsy which is really a product of the modern computer age.





hope you understand THis!!!

Sa iyong paglisan..

Alas dose ng hatinggabi nang magising ako sa aking kinahihigaan..
Maalinsangan ang madilim kong silid..
'Di ko maaninag ang mga bagay sa aking paligid..
Nanatili akong nakatitig sa bintanang nakabukas at may nakasilip na munting liwanag mula buwan..
Nakakabingi ang katahimikang bumabalot sa paligid..
Tanging huni lamang ng mga kuliglig ang nagbibigay boses sa tahimik na gabi..
Hindi ko mawari ang aking nararamdaman.. Tila may kulang..
Oo may kulang.. Kulang na minimithi ko pa ring mapunan..
Sino ba ang gustong mabuhay ng walang ama?
Ang mabuhay na hindi kompleto ang pamilya?
Siguro meron. . . 'yong mga taong kinamumuhian ang kanilang mga magulang..
Kinamumuhian ang mga magulang na nagpakahirap para lamang sila'y mapalaki nang maayos..
Samantalang ako heto, hinihintay ang pagdating ng aking amang hindi ko alam kung babalik pa. Ang aking amang matagal ng nawala.. Amang hindi ko na nasilayan ng mahigit limang taon.
'Ni hindi ko nakausap kahit sa pabulong na paraan..
Naranasan mo na bang mawalan ng ama?tatay?papa?daddy?
Napakahirap isipin.. Na sa isang iglap bigla siyang nawala at malalaman mo na lang na kahit kailan ay hindi na babalik pa,,
Na kahit kailan ay hindi ka na magkakaroon ng ama sa katauhan niya.
Ang paglandas ng mainit na likido sa aking pisngi ang nagpabalik ng aking isipan sa katotohanan.
Ang katotohanang kahit kelan ay hindi na babalik si itay..
Muli kong ginunita ang aming pinagsamahang magpamilya.. Ang saya! Walang problema..
Hinahabol ako ni Itay at tinatakot ng laruang gagamba. Nang bigla akong madapa at agad nya akong nilapitan.. Niyakap at pinatahan sa pag-iyak saka pinagpagan ang tuhod kong nagalusan.
Napakabait ni Itay..
Sa t'wing may kailangan ako agad niyang binibigay..
"Bili mo ko nyan pa.. Bili mo rin ako nito."
Agad niyang binibili ang gusto ko..
Pero ngayon, wala na.. Wala na ang lahat ng pangarap kong ipakita kai Itay ang aking mga napagtagumpayan, ang aking mga hangarin na dapat sana'y kanyang masilayan..
Anong pilit ko mang isipin na siya'y andyan lang, iba pa rin ang reyalidad.
Kelangan ko nang tanggapin ang katotohanan na hinding-hindi na sya babalik pa.. Ipinagdarasal ko na lang sa Diyos na sana kahit nasaan man siya ay Hindi nya kami makalimutan ni Inay..
"Mahal na mahal kita, Pa!"

Online games...

"Bai.. dota ta?
dili ko kay mag palevel pa ko ug Ran..
asus!! cabal na lang ta eh..
unsa man na ui..chui pa ang Flyff dra..
wahhh!!!flyFF?? wala'y challenge."
Online games dito.. online games diyan.. Online games doon..
halos lahat na ata ng mga internet cafe, puno ng mga estudyanteng naglalaro ng mga usong-usong Online LeveL-Up Games. Kadalasan ay mga kalalakihang teenagers.. o mga estudyanteng adik dito.. lahat kumakalikot sa mouse at keyboard ng computer at tutok na tutok sa mga video games na nilalaro sa computer. Ano nga ba ang mapapala ng mga taong hook na hook dito? nakakatulong ba ito sa pag-aaral?? O talagang sinisira lamang nito ang ating kinabukasan.
Karamihan sa mga nahohook dito ay mga estudyante.. ang iba nag-aabsent pa para lamang makapaglaro.. para lamang atupagin ang mga bagay na di naman talaga importante..
Noong una,hindi naman talaga uso ang mga Level-up games na yan eh..pero nang dumating ang genre ng mga Larong ito, marami ang nabighani,,marami ang natuto hangga't pati ang pag-aaral ay napabayan.. kahit allowance sa school ginagamit makapagcomputer lang..
hindi ba nila narerealize na nagpapakahirap ang mga parents nila upang sila'y pag-aralin.?
pero anong nangyayari?
ang patuloy na paglala ng pagka-hook sa mga Online games ng mga kabataan ngayon ay nakakabahala na. Paano na lang ang kinabukasan nating mga pag-asa umano ng bayan??
kung sa halip na pag-aaral ang pinagtutuunan ng pansin ay pagbababad sa harapan ng PC na kung minsan ay naabutan pa ng magdamag sa harap nito o sa mga 24-hour internet cafe..
napakahirap ng iwanan ang mga nakasanayan subalit kung pag-iisipan lang sana natin ang maaring epekto nito..malalaman natin kung ano ang totoo. Hindi masama ang sumabay sa uso subalit kung ito'y nakakasama, hangga't maaga pa ay maari nating iwasan..
sa LAhat ng mga Online-Level-up-games addict? Good Luck at sana'y may maganda kayong makukuha sa gingawa nyo.

ipods...leads you to danger..

The popular iPod may be doing more harm than good, especially to the hearing of the user, doctors say. According to Christine Albertus, an audiologist with the Marshfield Clinic in Marshfield, Wisconsin, iPod users should limit their use of the device to two hours or less per day.

The problem lies in the in-ear headphones Apple offers for the device. Before, music blasted from the speakers of their home audio systems. With the advent of the Walkman, the sound moved closer to the ear through muff-style headphones.

Now, with the iPod and other MP3 players, sound is now pumped directly into the ear, which is a potential health issue. "We're moving sound closer and closer. It's really increasing pressure on the ear," Albertus said.

Hearing damage can also accumulate, says Albertus. Even at reasonable levels, damage can occur after continuous listening. This problem is becoming prevalent in today's youth. "Fast forward, and they may be hearing aid candidates by the time they're in their early 40s," she said.

A medical journal recently estimated that as many as one out of every eight children already have noise-induced hearing loss. The U.S. Government's Occupational Safety & Health Administration guidelines indicate listening to noise at a level of 80 decibels -- roughly the level of heavy traffic or a noisy resturant -- for eight hours can cause damage.

Take that up to 100 decibels -- the level of factory machinery, a nightclub, or a snowmobile -- and even one or two hours can cause damage, Albertus says.

To prevent hearing loss, Albertus recommends practicing "hearing conservation." This means wearing earplugs or noise-reducing earmuffs in situations were persistent loud noise is an issue.

"Realize what causes hearing loss and use common sense. If you're exposed to loud sounds, use ear protection," she said.
