Do you like watching science-fiction movies? If YES, so do I. I really like watching science-fiction movies, because these involve fantasy and horror which are my favorites too; likewise, because strange things or creatures, like aliens, parahumans, etc. interest me.


Have you seen parahumans? A parahuman is a human-animal hybrid. If you haven't seen any yet, you better watch the movie " Prince Caspian- The Chronicles of Narnia". This is a very nice movie, and you can see lots of parahumans in it.


I know that parahumans exist only on paintings, books or movies, thus I was shocked when I read the news about the possible existence of parahumans.


According to the news, scientists in Britain have been granted permission to create human-animal hybrid embryos by injecting human DNA into cows' eggs for stem cell research.

Instead of using human eggs, the researchers will remove the nuclei from cows' eggs and replace them with cells from the patients to create cloned stem cell lines that contain the same genetic mutation that results in these neurological disorders.

The hybrid embryo would be 99.9 percent human. The only bovine element would be found in DNA outside the nucleus of the cell.

Moreover, the scientists said the hybrid human-bovine embryos could prove useful in pursuing treatments to prevent Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's, as well as spinal cord injuries, diabetes and arthritis.

However, the proposal has appalled critics of stem cell research, who slam the idea of creating so-called "chimera" (see: Chimera (genetics)) embryos as an unethical and potentially dangerous practice.


Well, the thought of having parahuman neighbors, colleagues or presidents, etc. excites me. If in case the existence of parahumans is possible, the existence of all the strange creatures in science-fiction movies will be possible too.

But one thing I'm sure of, there will be advantages and disadvantages of parahuman existence. Whatever these are, I'll just wait; and, I'm hoping that there will be more advantages than disadvantages.

Thus, I think having intelligent minds and inventing new technologies are at times hazardous.

for·get·ful (fr-gtfl, fôr-) [adj.] - tending or likely to forget.

Early this morning, I sent my mother and my niece to the port because they went home in Bohol. My elder sister works in a taxi company, so she sent a taxi for us to ride in going to the port. When we were a bit far from the house where I'm presently living, my elder sister instructed the taxi to go back home ( My sister and I are neighbors.) because she forgot to give the packs of hot dogs that she bought for her daughter . I got mad because if we went back home, my mother & my niece couldn't catch the 7:30am-ship anymore. So, we didn't go back home; anyway, my mother can buy hot dogs in Bohol.

After which, I came to realize that me too is forgetful. I easily forget & hardly remember things. I'm only 27 years old and my sister is 29 years old, but we're already forgetful. Some of my friends & students also are forgetful. Thus, I immediately searched the causes of memory problems in the internet when I arrived in the office.


These are the causes of memory problems;

* Bad reaction to certain medicines
* Depression
* Not having enough fluids in your body, also called dehydration
* Not eating enough healthy foods, or too few vitamins and minerals in your body
* Minor head injuries
* Thyroid problems
* Emotional problems

Emotional problems Some emotional problems in older people can cause serious memory problems. Feeling sad, lonely, worried, or bored can cause you to be confused and forgetful.


Now I know the cause of my memory problem, it's minor head injuries. As far as I can remember, I slipped on a slippery path when I was in a beach and my head hit on a marble path. It left a lump on the back of my head; and, the lump is still there until now. On the other hand, I'm planning to go to the doctor and have my head scanned. Because I feel dizzy every time I touch the lump.

Anyway, are you also forgetful? If you are, so read the causes of memory problems above so that you'll also know the cause of your memory problems.

What are you waiting for?..Read it now!

It was my birthday yesterday, August 15. I'm now 27 years old. As my chronological age goes up, my face also gets older..hehehe.

Prior to my birthday, I received many blessings, I met a very nice couple whom I consider now as part of my life and I got the THING that I longed for ( not to mention what it was).

Thus, I'm very thankful to God for all the good things and blessings He showered to me, especially for giving me another blissful year of living here on this rocky yet wonderful earth. On the other hand, I also thank God for giving me the courage to fight against all odds, the strength to face all the difficulties in life and the good heart & sound mind which are very essential in my journey towards the rocky road of success.

As I evaluated my accomplishments in life, I found out that it's not that many. But, when I asked myself If I was happy, my mind and heart whispered, "Yes, you're happy Lota..you're even happier now than before".

Financially and materially I'm not rich. I don't have most of the things that people are craving & longing for YET it's all right. I'm still very happy with the kind of life that I have - the most important thing is I always find myself smiling every time I go to sleep at night and every time I wake in the morning.

Life is too short for me to keep grudges and for me to worry of not having bundles of money and a luxurious life. I'm happy and contented with my life at present - and this is enough for me to live blissfully each day!
