You're here because of "Uniaspirin"

Hi there my blog readers,

I’ve just realised that many of you stumbled upon my blog because you were doing a research on Uniaspirin and my blog mentioned the word “Uniaspirin”. My late mom was prescribed with uniaspirin but it was not the cause of her passing nor because of the radioiodine treatment that she had received to treat her thyroid problem. She suffered a stroke (cerebral infarction).

You have to understand that my mom had a history of high blood pressure since the birth of my youngest sibling and had been taking medications. She plants rice in paddy fields during her younger days, can’t sit still – always looking for things to do. She was also a person who liked to be in a gathering of her female friends drinking Tapai. Tapai is a traditional drink in our Dusun culture. It is made of fermented rice with ragi and taste sweet with a little alcohol. Other than these, my mom was a very active person. I guess prolonged use of high blood pressure medicines (about 27 years) and drinking Tapai had deteriorated her internal organs.

During the course of her treatment near to her passing, the doctor did informed me that she had cardiac calcification and he’d warned that my mom could suffer a stroke if any calcified debris gets into her bloodstream and flows to the brain. She also had liver cysts.

You know, I would have loved to see her live a little longer until all of her hair turned white but I guess God loves her more and she left the living at the age of 63.

So readers, it is good that you’re doing your research in the internet on what medication the doctors are giving you. Shows that you’re a caring person and a person who wants to be well informed. My advice is that; if you are unsure about something, get other doctors’ opinion. Be strong and try to do the best that you can.

May the grace of our God be with you. God bless. Amen.

Goodbye - You're Done!

For those who wonder whatever happened to the person I called “Papa” (my ex-boyfriend) he is no longer in my life. He cheated, got married with someone else and has recently become a father. I hold no grudges nor have any feelings whatsoever towards him. Everybody have the right to choose their life partner, the way they conduct their life is their own responsibility. I bid him farewell and wish him and his family a good life.

The Shroud of Turin

I was glued to the television last night watching History Channel’s “The Shroud of Turin”. It was a two hour documentary about how a team of graphic artist tried to recreate the real face of Jesus by taking information and blood encoded on the Turin Shroud and transforming it into a 3D image.

The bloodied linen cloth bears the image of a man who appears to have suffered physical trauma in a manner consistent with crucifixion. It was thought that this person was Jesus. The image on the shroud is in natural sepia color but comes out clearer in black and white negative. Even though the person in this shroud suffered horrible beatings, cuts and eventually died on the cross but amazingly his face showed only calmness and peace, as if someone who is asleep. This is impossible! When living things dies, it will slowly decompose and the blood, rotting tissues would have definitely soiled the cloth wrapping it. There would definitely be no distinguishable image. And yet this shroud preserved the image of this person as according to the bible, Jesus died and was resurrected. To me this is the only logical explanation.

People long gone can still be remembered by their photos and for me this is the same with this Turin Shroud. It is a will of a man who wishes for us to remember him and in remembering him, remembers his life, his teachings and his faith in God. That is why the shroud survives to this century.

Most of Jesus images were based on the face on the shroud of Turin.

Jesus Blesses the Little Children

(Mark 10:13-16; Luke 18:15-17)

"Then some little children were brought to him so that he might lay his hands on them and pray. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them. Jesus, however, said, “Let the little children come to me, and stop keeping them away, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to people like these.” When he had laid his hands on them, he went on from there."

Innocence and pure of heart will save us.
