PAALAM PO GINANG CORY AQUINO...

image from but I made a little retouch on it Now , we all know that she - Mrs. Ma. Corazon C. Aquino is laid to rest as of this moment. We must be more strong not just in words but in action together with prayers of what she left us for the future of our childrens, grandchildren and of the coming generations.We must show to the world that "WE FILIPINOS are still united until the end on fighting of our true freedom and clean to honest democracy". I'm not an activist and never involved to any activities.I even hates politics but not the politicians itself including their existing families.I do understand the so called "behind the camera is different and it is an opposite to each realities". To those new readers of this blog I would like to say that I am now working as caregiver to the mother of one prestigious politicians of this country ISRAEL but it does not bothers me who they are while they shown me a real and as one member of their family.

I felt the loneliness specially when the tv screen shown KRIS crying to all the words around she heard and received, she is grown up now and I'm sure more and more on coming days.I'm not an avid fan of hers but to her late mother I faithfully did and always be .The truth is I joined that ONE MILLION SIGNATURE for Tita Cory but sad to say I NEVER VOTE nor went to any voting center on that time of election.It was been a long and great convincing strategies of my schoolmates that we need to signed up that one million signature rolling in the universities. Why? I promise to myself I will never vote again because I grewn during that dictatorship regime so... if I will vote I believed it is all worthless.

First I meet Kris personally when they have to shoot tele-series on tv with Jimmy Fabregas at Robinson's Hypermart in Boni Ave.Mandaluyong way back early 1990's.She was not that pretty on my eyes those days unlike now but she greeted us in a nice way.I was newly promoted as an assistant supervisor at that time when she came in at our Bakeshop & Coffee shop section while I'm doing my rounds then she joined us."Good afternoon Mam, you have pretty cashiers here" then she pointed at Rachel Barraca our probationary cashier that later turned to regular cashier employee under my recommendations."Pwede s'ya mag artista kung gusto nya", (she could be a celebrity if she wants) then went out after few minutes to start filming in the parking area between Apartelle and the supermarket building.

To all my fellowmen let us pray for the everlasting peace of "Tita Cory" and the continuing freedom and democracy of our country. PAALAM PO at MARAMING SALAMAT PO AGAIN.... .

ISSUES ABOUT MIGRANT WORKERS KIDS

Image was the happy faces of children's of migrant workers living mostly in Tel Aviv after hearing the plea of President Simon Peres to the Interior Minister Elai Yishai to reconsider the deportation plans.Supposedly it was last Saturday, August 01, 2009 but they are given three (3) months extension of the said re-considerations.
**Tel Aviv is home to almost 90 percent of the country's migrant workers. Migrant families are mostly from the Philippines, South America and Africa, with smaller numbers from Nepal and India. They are mostly work as caregivers for the elderly, as well as in housekeeping and agriculture.**

Here are some related reports you can read Efforts to stop deportations of illegal workers kids and
Protesters demand solutions for foreign illegal workers kids .It was also said that they are doing deportations because most locals are not employed.This is also another story you can read.

It was last Friday when my employer showing me the newspaper(above image) that those are children's of "metapehlet"(caregiver to elderly) don't want to go home but want to stay here to become ISRAELIS.Next day Saturday was also on the news at channel 2, local tv news report the above story and the story of Mrs.Cory Aquino who passed away.(sources of these news are from Jerusalem Post)

my LATEST VISIT TO WISHING WALL

Wishing upon the star and making a million wish are what then why peoples coming back and fort here in the Western Wall or we called it wishing Wall.You can wish as many as you can. Write your wish to the smallest piece of paper then insert it to the to the smallest ditch spaces in stones on the wall.If you are first timer here and you can see those inserted papers you will say that "how come and how to insert it there , no vacancy at all and it is full already". Insert it very well and be sure the paper will not to fall then walk backward of going way out so that the wish will be grant unto you.

Around seven in the morning that we arrived at the eastern main gate, see how many tourist waiting when to open the gate?These are some few policies to follow while inside the place. Please click the image to read, it is written in English and Hebrew.Gender is strictly observed here. You see the divider made of steel? - on right side are the woman's place to pray and wish. On the left side are mostly religious men praying.
Here is what we called the lobby , more than a half size of the praying area to where the tourist guide making his lectures to his visitors about the place.Need to be silent on the praying area and on the side of the wall.Tables are for writing wishes and putting their "tanah" (read as "tanak" - bible) of some religious woman.This is our companion Dorothy wearing the blue blouse gave by guard in the entrance gate to use while in the area . Prohibited (as written in board above image) to wear sleeveless, wide open blouses that seen the woman cleavages,leggings or tights.She don't like to wear it because we are sure how many thousands of tourist wearing it already but she don't have choice or else we cannot enter the praying area.It is free and no charge at all just return it before going out the area.
See the religious men praying near the stone wall.Some are sitting but mostly they are standing wearing their costume clothing that they are used for prayer time only.Bibles are for everybody to use but need to return on that book shelves after using. This religious woman cleaning the plastic curtains on the the sidewall and the flooring. I really don't know if she is employed there because just now I saw it for how many times I went this place.Imagine how wide she will wipe and bend every time if she saw black dirt due to shoes and sleepers in that area.? I have image while she is scrubbing and bending her waist but it is too rude or that might mis-understood by some readers.Entrance gate from old city busy shopping place, another line to wait for bag scanning and inspections. Don't be surprise if you are here that everywhere you go there are checked point. They are not getting tired of doing it for the safety of all people.

Wishing the whole world for PEACE! See you on the other side of this wall next week. I thought it was different world but it is not.

Medical updates of my old woman and ..........

"TAKING PICTURES IN THE HOSPITAL EITHER INSIDE OR OUTSIDE ARE PROHIBITED " this is what the guard told from nowhere after I took pictures outside in one entrance of the Billingson hospital in Petatechva.I want to have pictures of any hospital anytime where we go with my employer.I will show it to my daughter studying medical courses and to inspire her to work abroad if she will finish in school.The guard insisted me to erase it on the spot but I explain to him that I will not make any trouble or what ever using these pictures. I'm just working here as caregiver then pointing my employer sitting on a wheelchair behind us talking.My employer said that I love taking pictures to send to my family in the Philippines.Guard didn't answered anymore then left us.A surprising moments while waiting my supervisor to pick us from the parking area and drive us home.

Nice compliments for me when we got inside the doctors room holding all the blood test results as proof of my good performance of taking care to my employer. Eldest son of my employer was his friend that is why it was the family consultant. My old woman respect all instruction giving to her what to do, she believed and follow on him. Final words from the doctor "everything was fine and in good health status at her age, then said thanks to you!" Feeling great but it was a tiring day folks that I need to sign out and get some rest.

my unfinished visit to YAD VASHIEM

I messed up the most and important things in the history of Holocaust that each one here needs to know. My friends and co-workers went inside where those images and they viewed the nicest story as they told me when they got back to our service car. I had this pains on my legs after our lunch but I ignored it until I almost not to lift my feet when a few minutes roaming the area.Our youngest lady in the group , KLING_KLING also felt not good then invited the three of us to back to the parking area and stayed there until our companions finished their route.(SAYANG talaga! namitig paa ko.)My left leg down to foot had a cramps and sprain, it was so painful that I"ve almost cry but there is no regrets at all for joining the tour.

Around 12 noon when we arrived the area and we are all hungry that most of us just took a cup of coffee leaving early as five in the morning in our respective employer and some are from their rented flats. Five thirty when our service car moved heading Jerusalem then we arrived the proper area of about seven in the morning .
On the left side of this huge concrete post we took our lunch as fast as we could because we need to go back to city of Natanya before four in the afternoon to fix some of our needs to bring in our work place for the whole week .From here there is another area to go but sad to say that all of us was so tired and agree to go back to Natanya. This hot summer heat teach us not to have schedule again some kind of tour like this.
This is inside the Yad Vashiem area.If you notice the circular steel with full of stone pieces in front of me there. All was left by Jewish people visiting the area for the signs of their visits. That is their tradition that even in all cemetery everywhere they are putting stone pieces above the graves of their lost relatives.
See how many peoples around visiting there? so crowded to look around those numbers of tourist from all over the world.
This is outside children's memorial building that I decided not to go inside , it was so dark place then I try to look at the main door I felt dizzy . A very sweaty day going around and no enough air blowing that time when we are there.

Way to the video room to view their history how it was written.I did not got in also , I'm looking the water fountain that I need to wash my face to relieves of what feeling with. Or maybe I had a bunch of lunch as you can see my tummy was full . I ate "pinakbet" , special menu of all veggies exclusive for filipinos only. And spicy " bagoong alamang "(preserved salted baby shrimps).... ahhhhh.....what a great fun and food festival for us because we cannot cook and eat all of these to our work place especially to those worker for religious families.

Most of us felt like no more energy and power to walk through the hills, I felt I have dry mouth down to whole parts of my body. We just brought small mineral water when we enter that we don't have any idea how far we gonna walk.I look around from the highest peak of the area that I felt I crossed two high mountains. I don't know or maybe we are just staying all the time inside the house looking after our employers need.

VIRUS FROM RANK WIDGETS!!!

Wheewww....Early morning I woke up to check my emails, approval adverts on EC and messages on tagboards that DEMZ of  My Life Perception and Inspiration  left message that she cannot write comments due some pop ups and if click on EC drops it  opened another site or advertisements. I encountered this last two weeks while dropping EC's to some blogs and left also messages to them on tagboard.

Last night before I went to bed I noticed the changes of on dashboard's alphabeth but I just ignored then dive to my bed and maybe snored the whole night .

This morning before I took out my morning star that everyday I did it, first I check my blogs comments, EC droppers, approval adverts if there is , I noticed again in blogger dashboard the same thing last night. As I thought that maybe I'm still dreaming then I continued my rounds to my blogs , the SURVIVOR was doubled layout and everything was extra,extra,extra large size of images , letters as in all what was there. I proceed to the OTHERSIDE but not desame , so I went to the bathroom and wash my face clean everything then go back my room to check again . Survivor was getting worse and I went to YANORZAH to read again the message of DEMZ then I send IM. She check it but its all okey but I refresh again in all my blogs was all ATTACKED by virus .  On my mind I hope and maybe there somebody will  have time to comments that this is VIRUS, so I click back the dashboard that I found out the comments left by Internations Musing - a group of bloggers which located in different countries with  different religions and beliefs but with one aim to contributes thier daily activities to the whole world  here is his comments left in my latest post "cold tomatoe juice"

LAG BAOMER 2009.(bonfire)

Lag Baomer  is like making bonfire  anywhere  but on  a safe place. On my understanding it is a  holiday of FIRE and especial day for children's .Those who are in the city they are going out of town or near the sea to celebrate this night.They put potatoes on fire  then they ate-last year I saw them eating and they all happy  escpecially the young kids are all excited with this holiday.They're doing this only once in a year.Last few days I saw children gathering firewood and debris so... it is on my mind that this day is coming again.

Lag Baomer in 2009 is on Tuesday, the 12th of May.

Note that in the Jewish calander, a holiday begins on the sunset of the previous day, so observing Jews will celebrate Lag Baomer on the sunset of Monday, the 11th of May.

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.

61rst INDEPENDENCE of HOLY LAND

Israel's night of indepedence way back 1948 celebrates few minutes ago-disco dancing still going on, in every villages and towns all over the country.Me and my employer witnessed another year of celebration from thier liberation with invaders.Below are my few shoots that I cannot have much because one hand was holding my employer and other hand was with my camera and video.Oh...okay ..yes! I'm insane because I need it on blogosphere,lol.

Yom Ha'atzmaut (Hebrew: יום העצמאות‎ yom hā-‘aṣmā’ūṯ;) means the national Independence day of the State of Israel. Every year's celebration is always on the 5th of the Jewish month of Iyar, it centers around the declaration of the state of Israel by David Ben Gurion in Tel Aviv on May 14, 1948 and the end of the British Mandate of Palestine.It is always the day after Yom Hazikaron. I repeat saying again that the day in Georgian calendar for Jewish start after sunset.It's night life in some other countries.

Many Israelis celebrate the day with picnics and barbecues (known in Israeli slang as a "mangal" - from the Arabic word منقل meaning "stove"). In some parts of the country the eve of the holiday, people sing and dance in the streets. Balconies are decorated with Israeli flags, and small flags are attached to car windows or every where you can see thier flag hanging.

IN the dinning room ,dinner served in few minutes but they served first the "pita" so.. when the main menu come I finished already one pita.lol.
Programs started with the childrens on this village riding around bicycle and some are walking with flags hanging on their bikes.Next in dinning area then program history outside and the end by seeing fireworks.
There was also kids running back in fort waving flags in different sizes.

YOM HAGEVURAH (21paril2009)

This morning I heard a sirens , a military alarm while I'm busy preparing my old woman .We need to attend her best friend funeral in Tel Aviv.Summer time with  the temperature of  28 degrees maybe, thats what I feel only but still we need to go.Together with us was the youngest son  , we brought the wheelchair  to use in a long walk from the cementery gate up to where the grave was.No one had umbrella, no one using umbrella here during summer time, it was funny things I think if they saw one had around.Even my caps I forget to bring  so we went back home that my head and eyes are deadly cracking- grrrr.

About the alarm/sirens , it was the time signal of stopping any where you are at any point you where in for the commemoration of haulocust day.Even if you are driving , you need to step down and stand up outside your car.It was a minute of sirens and silence.I heard that even if they are inside thier homes but me was not because I'm busy.It's almost finished when I opened the TV to see what's going on. There was a ceremonies attended by goverment officials  offering prayers and flowers somewhere in the site they made in Jerusalem.
