Remembering Heart Surgery Blues

G.A. Miller sketched his self-portrait when he had a heart surgery, titled My Golden Colorado Days. Not only can he draw, he’s a singer as well. A good one I must. say.

GAM thank you for putting this all together for me. Much appreciated. Seeker.

Remains of the Days

Thinking of sea, a form of a heavenly body, it comes in waves.  Here in Vancouver, we love to just sit on the beach and watch the sunset. When the tide is low, we could walk and walk for miles … Continue reading →

Missing You.

In this video, the cat is viewing his master who has died a long time ago. I can only imagine that the cat does remember and has feelings. Who says cats have no emotion?

“Imagine a world where everyone is blessed by the presence of everyone else. 

 Just imagine how beautiful such a world would be!”

In memory of 9/11

How’s your mental state…

This test is to ascertain your mental state now.

 

If you get one right you are doing ok if you get none right you better go for counselling.

 

Giraffe Test

There are 4 questions. Don’t miss one.

 

1.  How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

Stop  and think about it and decide on your answer  before you scroll  down.

The  correct answer is:

Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close the door. 

This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way. 

2.  How do you put an elephant into a  refrigerator?

Did  you say, Open the refrigerator, put in the  elephant, and close the  refrigerator?

Wrong  Answer.

Correct Answer:

Open  the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in  the elephant and close the door.

 

This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of  your previous  actions..

3.  The Lion King is hosting an animal conference.  All the animals Attend  …. Except one.  

Which animal does not  attend?

 Correct  Answer :

The Elephant. The elephant is in the  refrigerator. You just put him in there.  

 

This tests your memory..

 Okay, even if you  did not answer the first three questions  correctly, you still have one more chance to  show your true  abilities.

 4.  There is a river you must cross but it is used  by crocodiles, and you do not have a boat.  How do you manage it?

Correct Answer: You jump into the river and swim across.

Have you not been listening? All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting. 

 

This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90%  of the Professionals  they tested got all questions wrong, but many  preschoolers got several correct answers.   Anderson Consulting says this conclusively proves the theory that most professionals do not have the brains of a  four-year-old.  

This is out to frustrate all of your smart  friends.. 

PS: Just the fact that I sent  it to you should make you feel  good.

DP: Childhood Revisited – Total Recall of the day’s gone by – not goodbye.

What is your earliest memory? Describe it in detail, and tell us why you think that experience was the one to stick with you.  

Total Recall of the day’s gone by – not goodbye.

There’s a song in my head: “Those were the days my friend, we thought we’ve never end, we’d sing and dance forever and day.”  Plenty of playing, praising and singing. Growing up in a family of 13, I am number 10, it takes its toll.  I have nine siblings to be obeyed and be respected because they are older than me; three younger brothers to play with and dominate them.  My turn, hah!  Aside from uncles, aunties, and cousins, we are a multitude of the stars.  As God said, “Go and build me a nation,” we did.  Actually, that’s just the way life was in the Philippines.  The more the merrier and plenty of love to give, receive and share.  Not like that “Godfather” movie, you’ll end up with a horse on your bed. Yikes.

The word to describe today’s post is hypermnesia \hye-perm-NEE-zhee-uh\

Noun: abnormally vivid or complete memory or recall of the past by according to http://www.merriam-webster.com/

I know it’s better to remember good times, good times but this one particular memory brought awareness in my little brain.  My sisters love to make collages, and they post them on the wall just above the bed we all share. This is one of the pictures.

Feed the Children, please

This image thought me so much, and I did not learn this from kindergarten school.  From this collage, I learned to love and compassion as I grow up instilling in my heart and soul that we all have to help the children for we were children once before.

The greatest teacher for me, in my background, is Jesus Christ.  Let the little children come to me.  Pax Tecum,  Seeker.
