TRUST TRUST TRUST

TRUST is one of the most important thing in a relationship. But how can you trust if that trust was already broken?

Rebuilding trust is very difficult..

The truth is that you can be in a relationship with someone for years but not truly trust them--not be open to them. owh? wel, it depends--.

Child Marriage (Afghanistan Culture)

Afghanistan is one of the world’s most conservative countries, yet child marriages are growing. And they have also the highest infant and maternal morality rates in the world and lack of access to basic health care.

Extreme poverty, lack of awareness about child rights, weak law enforcement and strong conservative traditions are among the problems which have pushed many minors – boys and girls – into situation of peonage.

Destitute parents sell their daughters to survive, sometimes young girls are but a means of exchange to pay off a gambling debt, an opium purchase or to preserve one’s honor.

Drug smugglers that pay off poor farmers in advance for opium production, often demand young brides when farmers fail to produce opium and lack other means to repay their loans.

According the UN office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Afghanistan produces over 90 percent of the world’s heroin, generating an illicit economy worth over US$4 billion a year.

In the western province of Herat, more than 150 cases of the selling of children, especially girls, were reported in 2008. “There is no law to prevent child marriage and child sale,” according to a director of a women’s rights NGO in Herat Province. Child marriages are unfortunately not the exclusive privilege of Afghanistan. The judicial system and courts are notoriously corrupt and biased. People do not dare to seek justice through them.

Children who experience forced marriage, sale and servitude suffer physical, sexual and mental violence. They often lead a difficult life and some of them seek release through self-immolation and suicide.

When afghans are confronted by foreigners offended by these indecent unions between barely pubescent virgins and old fogeys, they often respond that since the prophet Mohammed wed the nine-year-old child Aicha, then it is legal to do the same thing according to Sharia (Muslim law based on Koran). And if you show surprise at the difference in their ages, they have this Persian proverb that goes: “If the girl doesn’t fall when you throw your hat at her, then she’s old enough to get married.”

Yes, every country has their own culture and laws but some just do not act as humans but rather as captures. I also realize that if I was brought up in this culture then possibly I would just abide by all these laws and not say a word, but I wasn’t, thank god and I do believe if many of these women knew this was not the way they should be treated they would also protest, but for fear for their lives and thousands of years instilled in them this is just the way it is. Who knows what the outcome of all these will be, but I still stand by my beliefs and say this is all wrong!

Ang pispis naga kanta sa tunga kang kainiton. Sa babaw ka kahoy tana naga paningkulong. Ang bahi sa dalom, naga pangasubo kag naga isahanon. Kag gulpi lang nag turo ang ana nga luha.


Anu ayhan ang gina paminsar na nga daw kadalom guid. Siguro bahol guid ang ana nga problema o hindi gani may nadumduman nga nagriligad nga eksperyensa.


Kis-a amo man guid kita kara. Ang sara kag sara may problema. Pero maski ano man kabahol ria sigurado maka lampuwas man ta.


Amo gani nga hindi guid magkalipat nga mag pangamuyo kay maka bulig guid ria. Maski wara ron problema, hindi guid pagkalipatan nga mag pasalamat labi guid sa mga grasya nga guin tugro kanaton.


Wara bagyo nga hindi ta malampasan..

NO teacher + NO Exam Schedule = NOTHiNG

Prelim is quiet approaching yet we don't have a PRELIM EXAM SCHEDULE. And one more thing we don't have a TEACHER in ITNA. We were paying for that subject without a bit of benefits to us. Its been quite irritating to think that until now we don't have a class that is because we had no teacher..

Is it ok that they would give us a research paper for our prelim exam? To be able to get a prelim grade without even a class meeting? I mean regular class. What a waste! We learn nothing!!

And opps! What about the EXAM SCHEDULE? July 23 is the prelim exam date..hmmm.... But wait..til now they didn't post the schedule. How could we study? And who is responsible for making that schedule? Teachers and students?haha! Lets wait for tomorrow. Who knows my nka post na sa bulletin. One day before the exam. grr..

BANANA Facts

Bananas contain three natural sugars: Sucrose, Fructose and Glucose, combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain Tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into Serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS: Forget the pills -, eat a banana. The vitamin B6, it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of Hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of Anemia.

Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in Potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power.
Research has shown that the Potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making
pupils more alert.

Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

Heartburn: Bananas have a natural Antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness: Snacking ON bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the Nervous System.

Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high Carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.

Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.

Smoking &Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the Potassium and Magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are Stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

Strokes: According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!

Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a Wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it On the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an Apple, it has four times the Protein, twice the Carbohydrate, three times the Phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and Iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in Potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"
