LP: Lansangan

I can’ believe how time flies.. a bit fast for me.. I am not even done commenting back on LP participants who dropped by ta my site and today is LP day again! Anyway, this week’s theme is Lansangan.

This photo is taken on our way from Quiapo. This is along Recto or is it Mendiola (?), I ma not familiar with the name, but this street is very close to my heart. This used to be my playground.

Ang bilis ng panahon.. Huwebes na naman pala, araw na naman ng LP. At ngayong Linggo ang ating tema ay Lansangan.

Ang larawan sa taas ay kuha noong minsan kame ay ngpunta sa Quiapo (doon kase ako nagpapagawa ng salamin). Ito ang ceossing sa ilalim ng MRT Legarda Station. Kame ay nagngaling sa REcto Avenue, at sa aming kaliwa ay ang daan patungong Palasyo. Hindi naman ako masyadong pamilyar sa lugar na ito pero may maliit na bahagi ito sa aking puso. Ito ang nagsilbing “palaraun” ko noong “araw”.

Something For The Boys: VASECTOMY

This is not one of our option so stop giggling. I just want to include this because it is a permanent kind of birth control. Just a head start, this will be my (almost) first copy paste article. Of course I will mention my sources so you can’t accuse me of plagiarism.LOL

What is VASECTOMY?

Mr Wiki says: Vasectomy (or deferentectomy) is a minor surgical procedure wherein the vasa deferentia of a man are severed, and then tied or sealed in a manner such to prevent sperm from entering the seminal stream (ejaculate).

eMEd Health says: Vasectomy is a procedure in which the two tubes that carry sperm from the testicles to the urinary tract are surgically altered so sperm cannot pass through and be released to fertilize a woman’s egg during sexual intercourse. For couples who have made the decision not to have any further children, vasectomy is the safest and easiest form of surgical sterilization. While reversible in many cases, vasectomy should be considered a permanent form of birth control.

Pehpot says: TUBAL LIGATION please!

I know relatively VASECTOMY is a lot cheaper than TUBAL LIGATION but it is not the cost that I am after. The culture here in the Philippines is very patriarchal and the thought of not being able to produce offspring can be disturbing to men. Don’t tell me about men being superficial and being shallow, we are battling a 300 or more years of tradition and culture. It takes a lot of courage to undergo vasectomy here in the country. And it takes a lot of understanding to go through life with the thought that you cannot bear children anymore. To some they view impotence as uselessness. I don’t care what my husband thinks but I am pretty sure that I don’t want him to go through VASECTOMY.

Anyway, what’s your view on this? specially the guys? Are you willing to undergo VASECTOMY?

Super Mario Brothers Costume

Just like Kaye of Random WAHM Thoughts, I am rekindling my youth. For the past few days, er, weeks, I am playing SUPER MARIO BROTHERS on my kids’ DS Lite. It started out as helping my kids through a certain world.. and now I can sense some addiction in me (give me that DS!!) The NEW SUPER MARIO BROTHERS in DS Lite is very fun. It was easy and you can actually cheat on the game to have, like, 50 lives! You can jump from one world to another. It’s so awesome I can’t stop!!!

It is not a surprise that when I saw these SUPER MARIO BROTHERS costume, I fell! Since my first born and my second born looks like a twin, these costume would fit them both! I WANT IT!! If only it’s not that expensive (but you can buy it for me) and shipping won’t take forever.. Is there any kind soul out there?

Anyway, I also heard that this is gonna be the next big thing in movies! I heard SUPER MARIO BROTHERS are set for the big screen. EYE CAN’T WAIT!
