PAPAYA

I totally forgot! due to busy days last week that somebody gave these papaya fruit. Just now I wondering the black ants crawling on the floor , so I took everything under my bed. My gushhhhhh.. its here and it almost ripen.I want to eat this with vinegar and a pinch of salt today after lunch. Supposedly I want to make it sweet and sour preserved for my appitizer(atsara).

We all know that ants can easily detect sweet smell in few distance of where they are.Never I smelled it for the whole week. Thanks for the insects detector I have here and black ants never bites.Others ants are harmful like the red, brown and how about white ants? ahhh... its different already.

Health facts from papaya extracts like cleansing ingredients for the face or they made it into any skin care products, vitamins, and anti cancer food as per expert studies. But here in my work place this veggie fruit is knew for them. I mean unlike in my country that I woke sorround by papaya's.It is just late they discover that it has a lot of useful health benifits from this fruit.Aside from that one businessman named his clothing signature for teens and young childrens as PAPAYA with the most high prices in town.The one thing I dont know is if the textile they used have papaya extracts, hihihihi ,just come out to my imagination now.I'm still looking the taste that I'm not satisfied but still eating if there is around.

HAG SHAVOOT 2009

Different kids of cheese in one biggest plate that every one can get and eat how much they could.Today was a tradition of jewish people celebrating thier FIRST harvest of wheat and other crops that they plant.Main menu was CHEESE and related products as diary by this time. It was also said that end of spring was the FIRST MILK they produce because usually this is the time that sheeps and cows,etc are giving birth, so there is milk to drink and need to celebrates.In the history this is the day of cheese,cottage and milk but easily to find now in all supermarkets.Meat are not serving but then open to those who likes to eat.

We did not attend for the first time of today's holiday dinner.It is usaual that we are attending all programs of this village. My employer was suffering from gas spasm since yerterday . It stopped last night but the pains attack again after lunch time today.So..I went to the dinner table when all foods was served and took some.In later days I will post topic about gas spasm, if I will choose which much better to take care of an elderly, I will choose the one that always making fart than the one having gas spasm. I can stay away or sit far behind when farting but in gas spasm I don't know what to do to her . Then giving her how many glasses of regular tea, it stops.My goodness! I thought we're going to sleep again in the nearby hospital but lucky not. Hate that place, I mean I'm more feeling tired even I'm just sitting beside her.

BAD LUCK for ONE CAREGIVER

HIT's or free ride in some private cars as they called it here as TREEMP or sounds like that are dangerous.Some caregivers in far locations are doing it if the family they are serving will not drive them to the nearest place going to the city. But there are some  employers that has  concerned to thier workers and they are spending thier time to drive her/him going to thier respective apartments or flat as what we called it here.Saturday afternoon are the usual schedule of 24 hours day off  of caregivers here.This is the day that there's no public transportation, taxi are on high rate fees during this 24 hours shabat and still on danger if you are  riding alone.Risks  is in yours  if you are not lucky to have employer of just giving you a warning instead of driving you to the nearest place to take a safe ride .There is SHERUT here like a service van for public, a 10 passengers vehicle  that most workers in far locations are hiring .They are  meeting in place then the sherut will pick up them .If this sherut has still vacant seat they got another worker/passenger  along the way.

It is in the news already and somebody  heard/saw  on tv program  that the rape victim was a "filipina", they shown the bruises on tv but I didn't got it .I'm trying to search but I can't find it.Thats not the big ball here to be on the headlines  we are just caregivers. Even the co-workers around in that area which is also my friend don't want to elaborate the story for her safety , as of  now  they said that the authorities is looking for two men responsible for that inhumane  acts.

Yesterday I recieved IM's  saying that co-workers was just 20 minutes drive from my workplace and said the victim was dropped  near in my location which is opposite way going to the city proper. I usually  went  for a few minutes walk to where  they found the victim.Last Sunday I did one complete route in one bus in that nearby location of the victim but I ride on the bus  and it was  full of passsengers , so ..there no dangers on it.

Note: Snakes are everywhere.CAREFUL!

SMILEY FRUITS for SUMMER

HELLO GUYS.....
I'm back again...  I brought all these cool summer fruits for your good health.
Yesterday's day off was not so good but not too bad also.I ride a bus going to a place that I don't know where, I want to explore alone.I have these very confidential problems and too personal that I was affected for the whole week.So..I went alone anywhere,when the bus inspector asked me I pretend to step out to the next bus stop which is I dont know.When the next bus came I ride again back to the city.Not dangerous here in riding even in far places that mostly you can meet inside the bus at anywhere some caregivers to thier way back to work or vice versa.I enjoyed my trip like a fun sight seeing rides.After that I went to a public market to buy fruits and I stop by for a drinks in this fruit stand cool store.I choose fruit and they make it as a fruit shakes.So...my whole day trip was end with smiley like this fruits they made. Last one thing, did you see the pineapple in the picture? that is the biggest size I've ever seen here .I asked the vendor but they never knew if there is bigger than that.It's not enough for me to buy 3 or 5 while the prices are higher than me.Wezzzzz... I can't  wait to have vacation to eat a lot of it.

THANK YOU and  every visits are deeply appreciated!!!

Said that english grammar- Where in this holy earth have perfect english? please tell me,spelling-yes I always forgot to click the spell checker so that was all how I spell the words on my posts and what is sentence sructure - do I need to apply the structural design that I've learned when I was in the universities!?

here is the first 3 statement I recieved from thier email that I need to change:
Good sentence structure, spelling and grammar.
A clean, fresh layout.
A blog that sticks to a central purpose, topic or theme.

About layout- I'm totally happy with the outcome of my layout comparing to the one before.Why? just because this is FREE that I did not pay any single centavo to the one who help me and did this.This is my reality I'm talking if I want to say something.

About the "stick to a central purpose,topic and theme" ahhhhh...that's why google adsense still cope up the ads they putting in and I'm still have some searchers from anywhere in this globe.I'm writing to the best of my ability and to share to the whole world my work experiences that benifits both employers and caregivers/workers.

CAREGIVER'S WATCH LIST #01

#01.Elderly habbit of SCRATCHING..........****On the picture was the blood under the skin of an elderly after they scratched that certain parts of the body- this is in the arm.Blood passes through small viens but it stops if it scratch-usually at night when they are sleeping. There are some cases that the caregiver holding them tightly in protecting to fall and when the patient was in the position of  out balancing thier body wieght-if you hold it tightly like in the wrist, you can expect after few minutes your hands drawn by blood in that parts where you hold it. Somtimes even you just slowly bump any portion on thier body without any means or by accident  it forms this blood clog.That was just few minutes after she scratched , it will be wider slowly until becoming black then turn again to red and more than a week it will fade out or it depends on how much the energy of scratching or bumping into it.I'm putting this "arnika cream" but not as fast as one day to clean it out. There are some cream that they buy over the counter in any drug stores.

Alzhiemer's patients usually scratching thier ears and nose holes that caused to infections.It also influences us , sometimes we just noticed we then scratches too without feeling of itchyness like in our head and in the nose. I saw last few years one caregiver putting surgical gloves on the hands of her employer to avoid scratching.Alzhiemers patients sometimes recognised medical stuffs so they afraid on it. So....living in one roof with elderly is like watching all her movements everyday and we understand what they want in every moves or gesture they showed to us.

Food chain Mcdonalds has its own version and advertisements of this menu.Lunch and dinner for Israeli's are not complete if there's no presence of salads aside from lettuce as they called it "HASA\(read as kasa)".These are my own choices of ingredients, all are the smallest sizes and just one piece each  ------- red pepper bell, green cocumber, yellow green apple, tomatoe,  assorted nuts, raisens(dried grapes) ,carrots, salt as desired, little drops of lemon and two(2) tablespoon of olive oil. Slice into desired sizes and mixing all ingredients. If we're not going out, this is my usual dinner plus drinking green tea after 20 minutes.

DEPRESSION : my own OBSERVATION

This is my daily observations that has different bases due to thier age status and its standard or level in society.It cannot be said in one day  or how and when exactly thier attitudes be seen.Sometimes you can obsreved it's changes  once in a month if not seriously affected.There are times that daily or instant changing of attitudes makes a hardwork adjustments then make surprises also to caregivers.   Most medical experts has no treatment and they just ignored the patients coming in thier clinics.Medical studies explains that depression is considered the most common mental disorder, afflicts up to 5% of people aged 65 and older. Many researchers think this is a low estimate, because depression can mimic dementia. Some experts thus estimate that as many as ten percent of those diagnosed with dementia actually suffer from depression and if treated it is reversible.

One example is quite common in older persons due in part to the inevitable losses which occur with aging. Also, changes in brain chemistry can cause profound depression in older adults. Several physical problems, including transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), strokes, Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias often cause paranoid thoughts, delusions, hallucinations and aggressive actions.

Feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, helplessness, inappropriate guilt; prolonged sadness or unexplained crying spells; jumpiness or irritability; loss of interest in and withdrawal from formerly enjoyable activities, family, friends, work or sex are the main factors of depression cases.

Another intellectual problems such as unexplainable loss of memory or the ability to concentrate; confusion and disorientation.

Physical problems such as loss of appetite or a noticeable increase in appetite; persistent fatigue and lethargy; insomnia or a noticeable increase in the amount of sleep needed; aches and pains, constipation, or other physical constipation, or other physical ailments that cannot be otherwise explained are commonly seen to all depressed people.

Most elderly people take many more prescription and over-the-counter medications than other age groups. Because metabolism is slower in the elderly, these substances can stay in the body longer and reach toxic levels more quickly.

Here are more several factors that play the role in onset depression.

Thru Biochemistry expirements - deficiencies in two chemicals in the brain, serotonin and norepinephrine, are thought to be responsible for certain symptoms of depression, including anxiety, irritability, and fatigue.

But in genetics depression can run in families. For example, if one identical twin has depression, the other twin has a 70% chance of also having the illness sometime in life.

Peoples with low self-esteem, who are easily overwhelmed by stress, or who are generally pessimistic appear to be vulnerable to depression.

Sometimes there are invironmental factors like continuous exposure to violence, neglect, abuse, or poverty may make people who are already susceptible to depression all the more vulnerable to the illness.

If you  observed or feel any of these symptoms of depression for more than two weeks, you should seek help and consult your doctor.

SEA OF GALILEE ADVENTURE

Galilee is the place where Jesus cured a blind man. Around sea of Galilee or it is called by here as Kenneret that looks a lake for me has many religious shrines and historical sites of interest in this city. This region was the home of Jesus during at least 30 years of his life. The first three Gospels of the New Testament are mainly an account of Jesus' public ministry in this province, particularly in the towns of Nazareth and Capernaum.Here, Jesus walked on the water (John 6:19-21), calmed a storm (Matt. 8:23-26), and showed the disciples miraculous catches of fish (Luke 5:1-8; John 21:1-6).
I'm totally crazy when I step on the boat ,I dont know why.We dance,shout,sing and picture taking the whole 45 minutes in this boat.Sorry but this is me and my reality where ever I go.I want to be thankful and be happy for places I'm visited.

I'm just trying to be.....but not nice ...okey lng at least I feel it.hihihihi
I'm holding the boat post to where all flags of all tourist from different countries having rides.Singing the national anthem and flag rising was very emotionaly felt of every one here.After that crazy dancing goes on.

Heading home after boat ride.You can see behind the new version of boat used by now of all tourists.
Building behind me is where you can find the ancient boat that Jesus used his time with the fisherman.The boat is made of 12 different types of wood and measures 25.5 ft. (8.2 m) long, 7.5 ft. (2.3 m) wide, and 4.1 ft (1.25 m) high. It would have had a crew of five (four rowers and a helmsman) and could carry about 15 additional persons. This seems like a lot for such a humble boat, but men were smaller 2,000 years ago — about 5'5" and 140 pounds.

PLACE WHERE JESUS WAS BAPTISED

One way of surviving our homesickness was to join the tours and go any places every holidays given by us with our employers.A joyful day exit from work was a memorable momments and un-explainable feelings we got together from different points of this country working as caregivers.
It was written along this Jordan river where Jesus was baptised and since then peoples all over the world are dreaming to come to this place.

I waited for almost one hour to take pictures of wellknown cat fish but only the very shy crab came out behind me.
there are 28 languages written on the wall and here is my very owned tagalog version.Number 17 if you start counting from the gate or main entrance.It is 1 meter above where I am standing and I climbed up (umakyat ako eh).
These are all caregivers and members of JESUS IS LORD christian group day of baptism.Some are working in Jerusalem,in Haifa,Natanya and in Tel aviv.Every places above have thier churches to attend with every Saturday night worships.Gowns and towels to use during and after was worth 10$ rent,it is compulsary to wear white gowns during baptism here.

Entrance door and shopping area if you like to have souviners.
We just have one stop over along the way to have coffee and went to comfort rooms.Around the area was a wheat plantation and it's harvest season.
Caregivers enjoying photo shooting even the driver is already calling but they don't mind him.

more pictures on photo blog soon...
