Save baby Daniel..

I've already posted here before regarding the condition of my officemates son name baby daniel who suffered with Biliary Atresia, In my own simple way I’m sharing his letter here asking for anyone that could helm them raise the required funds in order for them to save baby Daniel..

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
My name is Oliver Ignacio Samson. I am a father of two, named Gwyneth Ann and George Daniel. We are residing living at Blk 8 Lot 43,Barangay San Rafael 1, San Jose del Monte City, Bulacan,Philippines.
wrote to you this letter to ask for financial help for our baby George Daniel. My son Daniel was born with a life threatening disease called “Biliary Atresia”. It is a congenital condition characterize by the absence or closure of the bile ducts that drain bile from the liver. Biliary Atresia is a progressive inflammatory process that begins very soon after birth. In Daniel’s case, he was diagnosed with Biliary Atresia when he was already 2 months old. During that time, there was already a significant amount of damage to his liver. White blood cells invaded the ducts, which became damaged or closed completely. Bile was trapped inside the liver and rapidly caused liver cirrhosis.

An operation called “Kasai Method” was done on Daniel by Surgeons Dra. Minas, Dr. Baluga and Dr. Miguel at the UST Hospital last June 10, 2009. It is an operation that removes the damaged biliary ducts outside the liver. Then, the small intestine is directly attached to the liver at the spot where bile is found or expected to drain. This procedure is not a cure but rather a temporary solution to be able to give Daniel some more time to find the necessary funding for his operation and the matching liver type. Unfortunately, although the operation was done, his liver continued to fail. Our doctors told us that there is no other course but to have a liver transplant. Unfortunately, liver transplant is not yet available locally but it can be done in Taiwan for P3 million pesos. This amount is simply beyond the means of our family. If my son will not be able to have a liver transplant soon, he will die. All we want is to see our son live that’s why we are appealing to your charity and compassion.

Donations can be deposited to:
Bank of the Philippine Islands branch under the account name Oliver Ignacio Samson, S.A. No.0039-1384-92 . Every peso counts. I beg you, please help us.
Thank you for your time in reading my letter and we are hoping for your kind help.

God Bless,
Oliver Ignacio Samson

The secrets behind number 11

Again this is an email from my officemate just sharing... very interesting

This is actually really freaky!! (mainly the end part, but read itall first)1) New York City has 11 letters2) Afghanistan has 11 letters. 3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in1993) has 11 letters. 4) George W Bush has 11 letters.This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting: 1) New York is the 11th state. 2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number 11. 3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11 4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers , was carrying 65passengers. 6+5 = 11 5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 =11 6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911. 9 +1 + 1 = 11Sheer coincidence. .?! Read on and make up your own mind: 1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was 254. 2 +5 + 4 = 11. 2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year. Again 2 + 5 + 4 =11. 3) The Madridbombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11. 4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers incident.Now this is where things get totally eerie:The most recognized symbol for the US , after the Stars & Stripes, is theEagle. The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic holy book:"For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. Thewrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah while someof the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for the wrath of theEagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace."That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.unconvinced about all of this Still ..?! Try this and see how you feelafterwards, it made my hair stand on end: Open Microsoft Word and do the following: 1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first plane tohit one of the Twin Towers.*2. Highlight the Q33 NY. 3. Change the font size to 48. 4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGSWhat do you think now?!!

Wow this is very cool i dont know whats behind all this, totoo kaya kayo ng bahala basta ako ayoko mag isip pagod sobra gusto ko lang magpahinga... weekend nanaman rest and alaga ng mga kids on saturday church on sunday then after service house ulit at the afternoon maybe mall to buy some things like shoes and pants i'll be using my new hsbc credit card tagal ko din pinag isipan kung anong una ko ipurchase since this is my first time to use a card, oo totoo first time ko ngayon lang kasi ako nag apply takot kasi ako baka mabaon ako sa utang pero may tiwala naman ako sa sarili ko na hindi ako mababaon sa utang and with the guidance of my wife i dont think so it will happen..

We're moving

Ang bilis talaga ng panahon parang kailan lang, naghahanap ng trabaho at napadpad sa lugar na kung saan halos lahat ng magagandang kumpanya ay andun, Naalala ko nung nasa college pa ko madalas kami dito sa makati para mag concert or di kaya manood ng concert ng ibang chorale group, tuwing maglalakad ako at nakikita ang nagtataasang mga gusali akoy nangarap na sana balang araw ay makapag trabaho sa lugar na to, isang bagay na aking hinangad at nagkatotoo naman, ngayon mag dadalawang taon na rin simula ng mag umpisa akong mag work sa isa sa mga u.s. company naka base dito, We're getting bigger and the company wants a new working place and they acquire net plaza, masaya kasi alam kong gumaganda ang status ng company at the same time malungkot din dahil kailangan ko ng iwan ang syudad na napamahal na rin sakin. On tuesday sep 22 our group will be moving to taguig particularly net plaza, the place is very promissing as my superior said kaya medyo excited na din lumipat sana lang mura ang food para makatipid kaso hindi yata...

Basta what ever happens there makati still has a place on me and im looking forward to work here again.

Taguig is now considering the next city to watch next to makati and in the coming years baka malampasan pa, ang dami na kasing infrastructure dun and ganda ng place medyo madalas din kami pumunta dun ng family kaso sa market market lang kaya hindi pa ko masyado familiar sa ibang place but from what i've heard the place is really great ang daming gimikan kaso hindi na pwede la ng time for that hehe...

for now im still zero on what to expect and what to do on my first day there, ayoko muna isipin may ilang araw pa naman post ko na lang first day ko dun... well eto muna for now medyo sinipag mag post pampatanggal antok...

Male of female?

This table was for sale on eBay.How can you tell it is being sold by a man?Can you solve this little riddle?First look and guess.You will find the answer below, but don't cheat!

OK, look in the mirror. Remember, if you are posting a picture on the world-wideweb,WEAR CLOTHES when taking the picture. I NEVER LAUGHED SO HARD... AND IT WAS POSTED ON eBay!!!

Hahaha this was really a funny one, been so buisy this few days nothing new with me, just a regular routine work and house during weekdays, church on the week end, we're now preparing for the wedding of one our member for this October, We're planning to compete this christmas just for exposure and experience but nothing final yet hope to settle everything...

The first pet my parents gave me...
