A road might lead to anywhere to harder towns and grays or, to a witch is pointed hourse hidden by bristly trees.

It might lead past the tailors foot where he sews with needle and thread her by miss pim the millinet’s with her bats for every head.

It might be a road to a great, dark, cave with treasure and gold piled high or a road with a mountain tied to its end, blue humped against the sky.

Or, a road might lead you anywhere to Mexico or maine: But then, it might just fool you, and lead you back again.

When her teen daughter reached that age when she finally got her menstruation, mom knew from her own mom’s guidance how she would prepare her daughter for this turning point in her life. This gave the daughter much reassurance, especialy knowing that her mother was never too far away to give her those needed tips on personal hygiene, the birds and the bees and what to watch out for as she matures into adulthood.

And when the daughter grows up and becomes pregnant herself, she is confronted with the fear of the unknown, "Am I ready to be a mother?" After all. she will be faced with the responsibility of nurturing her baby from the moment he or she is born. Simple things like knowing how to bathe that very delicate body, or hold that limp head, or sanitize the umbillical cord area are daunting to a new mom

Some moms would wish that there was a school to prepare them for all that, so that the joys of motherhood would be experienced from the very start.

I need to make an okay living. The people who work for us need to. But after you make a comfortable living, how much more do you need? It’s like I make a joke about nerd values, because I’m very much in the rich nerd tradition. And you know, we say, like, hey, people pay us for this stuff, like programming. You know, what else do we need?

What I needed most was to love and to be loved, eager to be caught. Happily I wrapped those painful bonds around me; and sure enough, I would be lashed with the red-hot pokers or jealousy, by suspicions and fear, by burst of anger and quarrels. Good day ahead fellas!

The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;
O, the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.
But I send you a cream-white rosebud
With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips.

Often called the "silent disease," osteoporosis progresses painlessly for decades without any outward sign and usually goes undetected until after a bone breaks, usually in the hip, spine or wrist. Osteoporosis (Latin for "porous bone") is a symptomless disease that accelerates the body’s normal bone loss. It casuses people to stoop and shrink in height and leads to weakend bones prone to fracture at the slightest fall, bump or lifting action. Symptoms include brittle bones, hunch back, persistent backache and pain.

Although our skeletons appear solid, bone is a living, growing tissue - a mixture of soft collagen and hard mineral made to be strong but flexible to withstand stress. Throughout lifem bones maintain themselves through a process known as remodelling, in which the old bone is removed and replaced with new. Bone loss and renewal is in balance until early adulthood. The body’s maximum bone tissue, or peak bone mass, is achieved by the late teen years. As we age, bone loss outpaces bone growth and bones gradually becaome thinner and more brittle. Osteoporosis is defined as about 25 percent bones loss compared to a healthy young adult, according to the U.S. National Osteoporosis Foundation.

Although everyone experiences some bone loss with age, few people realize that stooped posture and shrinking (loss of height greater than 1-2 inches) are caused by vertebral fractures due to osteoporosis. Vertebral fractures tend to affect younger people and are more common among women.

It is the hip fractures, most common in older men and women (median age is 80 years), that usually lead to the most serious consequences. Within a year after the fracture, one in three men and one in five women die from complications. Many patients require long-term care and most never return to an active and independent lifestyle. Additional falls and fractures, hospitalization, depression and mechanica failure of the surgical procedure is common.

Sexual attraction to and preference for members of one’s own sex is known as homosexuality. The rampant increase of the population of the third sex has become of major issue. There are groups that have worked to influence public opinion and legislation towards the acceptance of homosexuals.

I made a major research about Lesbians and Gays. Homosexuals share the same sentiments. They feel despised and looked down by the society. They tend to show to people that they are strong and that they are confident because they feel they have a dreaded disease that people are so aloof with them.

After talking to some lesbians and gays, I cant help but understand their plight. They told me they never purposely chose to  belong to the Third Sex. Others think that they are normal! The only difference is that they wanted to be the exact opposite of what they really are.

The Creator must have the power to work a mircale from the very factthat the creature has no such power. For if God can never rise above the plane on which a creature acts, then it is a natural inference that he is nothing but a creature himself. If a thing that is impossible for a person is impossible for God also, If a thing that is impossible for a person is imposisble for God also, what is the difference between God and man?

"Belive, therefore," says Tertullian, "that the creator is able to work a miracle, for the very reason that the creature cannot." The Apostle Paul said to King Agrippa, "Why shoud it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?" Our Lord Jesus sad, "The things which are impossible with men are possible with God."

The Supreme Being can do anything, and watever he does is wise and good. Whether the laws of nature work for or against the promised result is a matter of not the slightest consequence, provided that the Autor of nature, who "taketh up the isles as a very little thing" and has "measure the waters in the hollow if his hand" has said that it shall verily come to pass.

At the first sign of alarm, chemicals released by the pituitary and adernal glands and the nerve endings automatically trigger thses physical reactions to stress:

  • Heart rate incrases to move blood to the muscles and brain.
  • Blood pressure goes up.
  • Breathing rate incrases.
  • Digestion slows down.
  • Perspiration increases.
  • Pupils dilate.
  • You feel a rush of strength.

You are experiencing the "fight or flight" phenomenon - your body is tense, alert, and rady for action. After this reaction to a real or perceived threat, our bodies stay on alert until we feel the danger has passed. When the stressor has gone, the brain signals an "all clear" and our body gradually returns to normal. Problems with stress occur when the brain fails to give the "all clear" signal. If the alarm state lasts too long, you begin to suffer from the consequences of constant stress. This is why unrelieved stress can lead to many health problems.

As a teenager there’s a lot of stages that I have to surpass and it is not easy. For each life crisis I have to attain before I can go to the next level of stages. All my lapses, insecurities, inferiorities and belongingness must be examined. . . Way back past years, I have been desperate to fight the temptations that could rob my hapiness. Despearate not just to be called a child of God but also in doing.           

‘Twas about nine hours and fifty minutes ago that Im turned twenty. yep my age is increasing but I have nothing to worry, it was just a number its just signifies that Im still dreaming and alive.
In twenty years of living here in this world, I have a lot of learnings and realizations about myself as a daughter, a sister, a cousin, a friend, a classmate, a peer, a youth, as an individual,  as a human.

I have learned that people needs to understand and be understood and the best way to understand people is to listen to them. That material things might be broken,could be disposed. That people may die for it is nature.And I have to accept it. Even in intimate relationships, in friends, which are common and simple, true and real.May not last forever. That the way we conduct ourselves would be the way other will treat us.And those, I have to thank the people around me, who touches, bring joy and hapiness and a part of my life. especially to God that I have experienced it all.
