How To Enable The Disabled

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of NMEDA. All opinions are 100% mine.


Its sad how disable people are disregarded in third world countries like in the Philippines. They are forced to just stay at their homes or at a convenient place for them and for the "normal" people so as not to be an annoyance or disturbance to anyone.

It was disabled awareness last week and some of the members of this minority showed to the world how inaccessible it is to live in the country. They tried out the so called access points for them in public places including the people's walway/ overpass in EDSA and it was only then that they realized how inaccessible it was to use. It was too steep for a disabled person to use. In public transport although there is an allocated space for them they can't really use it because they drivers would rather not choose to take them as passengers because they need to be carried inside.

Because of this disabled are forced to use their wheelchair as a means of their transportation. But most of their wheelchairs are not that durable or not for transport use.

I hope our government will try to look at ways we can help the disabled and probably check on NMEDA so they can provide them with customized wheelchairs that they can also use for transport since reconstructing sidewalks and people's overpass will cost them more.

NMEDA will be willing to help them since they promote safety to disabled individuals. They adhere to the safety standards of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Maybe the government can also purchase handicap vans and vehicles that are solely for disabled person.



This will be a better option that rebuilding all the structures that are already there. NMEDA can help us find the solution to this problem and make life more easier to the disabled. NMEDA had dealers we can contact although they are only available in the US. Their Quality Assurance Program is a recognized accreditation program for the Adaptive Mobility Equipment Industry they are very experienced when it comes to such need.

I saw Henry Sy Sr.being carried around by his caregivers so he can go around his chains of malls nationwide I think he would be delighted to find out that he can have a customized vehicle for him. I think he will also be delighted to know he can still drive a vehicle if he finds out about this.

Father's Day Thoughts

My father, whom I called Papa as our term for endearment would never tell me what to do and how to do it. It was different to what our cousins tell us he was with them, he was very strict with the. His parenting style when it comes to us was a hands-off one, although he laid his hands on me a couple times I had lash marks here and there when I was a young girl because I was very mischievous. Because of that I grew afraid of him and we never got really close.

Now that he is gone and I hear nice stories about how he was like, I feel amiss, because I never knew my father the way they tell me he was. Maybe because I grew distant of him and even wish him gone couple of times.

I saw a commercial on TV today its a little girl and an old man, probably a grandchild and a grandfather. It reminded me of my dad and my daughter. My dad use to give her his biscuits, she would sit on his lap. Realizing how weak and how painful my father's body was after his death, he endured my daughter's ways. I'm glad my daughter was able to show my father love even for a bit.

I miss you Papa. I love you. Happy Father's Day, wherever you are.

Detached

I'm sorry I have neglected this blog, it was created with a good theme and a good start that earned its good standing at the search engines. But since I am blogging full time for a living, I have set aside my personal thoughts and opinion and try to be objective in a way in my posts which leaves me not much room to be too emotional and too personal.

It doesn't mean I am detached I'm just busy with "work". I'm happy because I'm working at home doing things I love and stay with my family. I don't have any boss or time to keep. I work according to my terms and nobody else.

I will try my best to update this blog at least once a week.

All the best,
Earth :)

I'm Generally Happy

Dear Readers,

Can I Trust You?

Can I trust you after all the lies you told me in the past?
Can I trust you after all the lies you are telling me today?
How can you look at me with a straight face when all you do is make me believe you are true.
You are hurting me again, you are hurting me continually, I have never forgotten all the things you have done. I've been trying really hard not to look back but the things you do and the things you are doing makes me go back to that feeling I never wanted to experience anymore.
But still you keep doing it, the things that hurt me.
Now tell me, can I trust you?
I don't think so.
Liar!

Pre-Employment Screening

It's always important to make sure that the employees you hire for your company are reliable, and healthy of mind and body, in order to perform their duties optimally. That is why employee screening or pre-employment screening of anyone you want to hire, is a pre-requisite for all companies these days. Most companies do some kind of pre-employment background checks now to make sure that all the information on an applicant, mentioned on his resume, is true and not fabricated. However, many still do not pursue the kind of expert screening process conducted at cibackgrounds.com, which take the job screening process beyond this first step. After checking references, it is also important for the applicant to pass a background check, even a physical test that can include drug screening, so that your company will be assured of the applicant's good physical and mental condition. Some applicants feel all these process are an inconvenience to their time, but for a company who wants to maintain a good reputation this process is critical. 

Promiscuousity

In the Catholic belief sex is sacred and should only be shared by a couple who are blessed in the sanctity of marriage. But the modern times, especially the exposure to TV shows and the internet some think sex is overrated.

Other religion, allow a man to be married to multiple women and so he gets to go around with different partners. Kinda like an open relationship too.

Its like having their own Lifestyle Lounge where each woman will have a schedule when he can get to sleep with the man. What a lucky guy I think.

Paganism I think practice swinging too and there's no big deal about it to them. Its only the Christian and Catholic church who put a restrain in the physical contact. Same reason why they are so afraid of having the Reproductive Health Bill approved here in the country.

But people who belong to St Louis swingers, charlotte swingers and Spokane swingers don't care about this. They just do as they please.

Open Relationships

I was watching a new show on our local TV station with my mom the other day and their topic was kinda controversial, well the shows theme is controversial already. It's the first on Philippine television and I bet if it gets popular our local TV censorship will have its eye on it.

Anyway the topic that day was about a guy who left a girl he used to live with for another girl. He had two kids with the first woman, while he is still on the honeymoon stage with the new one.

I guess this is the rule people in an open relationship follow. In a more vulgar term they are called swingers. They join Lifestyle Lounge to get more networks.

It's not popular here in the Philippines or maybe its an underground thing. But in the U.S. they are very open about these things. There are groups in different localities likeRochester swingers ; Memphis swingers;and Reno swingers other places.
