A babe in the house is a well-spring of pleasure, a messenger of peace and love, a resting place for innocence on earth, a link between angels and men.

the new member of our family... a baby boy...

Home by Elliot Yamin

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
I miss you, you know
And I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
"I'm fine baby, how are you?"
Well I would send them but I know that it's just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that
Another airplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky I know
But I wanna go home
I've got to go home
Let me go home
I'm just too far
From where you are
I wanna come home
And I feel just like I'm living someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
But this was not your dream
But you always believed in me
Another winter day has come
And gone away
And even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home
And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Let me go home
I miss you, you know
Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby, I'm done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It all will be alright
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home

Top five cancer-causing foods

I found this in my email.. sent by a friend of mine... so i just want to share this to all....mwahhh....

The top five cancer-causing foods are:

1. Hot dogs
Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate.



2. Processed meats and bacon
Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.



3. Doughnuts
Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.


4. French fries
Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams .



5. Chips, crackers, and cookies
All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.

HAVE NO FEAR... ^o^

"Fear is a tyrant and a despot, more terrible than the rack, more potent than the snake."
- Edgar Wallace




This photo was captured when my friends and my brothers went at Crocodile Park, Davao City, Philippines. When I first saw the snake, I was really scared to death. There were unpleasant thoughts that came into my mind when the caretaker was handling the snake and letting other people to touch it. At first, I didn’t dare to lay a hand on it. I was so afraid. Who wouldn’t? It is my first time to touch a snake or even the crocodile face to face. But then my colleagues and I found it so harmless when almost all the people in the park started to handle the tamed creature. So after a couple of minutes, I faced my fear and tried to stroke, feel the skinny and tamed animal. With confidence, check out photos for an unforgettable experience…



“Face your fear”… most of the common notions that we utter or say to ourselves or even an advice we give to the people whom we care whenever we or they encounters stumbling block and hardships in our lives. From here, we are trying to pull-up ourselves and face anything that we fear in order to commit justice and peace.

From the Bible itself the Lord God promised us not to be afraid, for He will always be with us.


Also, check some of my compiled quotes about fear.

"Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark."
---- Francis Bacon

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear."
--- H.P. Lovecraft

What we fear comes to pass more speedily than what we hope."
---- Publilius Syrus - Moral Sayings (1st C B.C.)

"Why are we scared to die? Do any of us remember being scared when we were born?"
---- Trevor Kay

Courage is not the lack of fear but the ability to face it."
---- Lt. John B. Putnam Jr. (1921-1944)

"Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is."
---- German Proverb

"Being frightened is an experience you can't buy."
---- Anthony Price - Sion Crossing (1984)



Courage is fear that has said its prayers.
Dorothy Bernard

Even the fear of death is nothing compared to the fear of not having lived authentically and fully.
Frances Moore Lappe, O Magazine, May 2004



To use fear as the friend it is, we must retrain and reprogram ourselves...We must persistently and convincingly tell ourselves that the fear is here--with its gift of energy and heightened awareness--so we can do our best and learn the most in the new situation.
Peter McWilliams
