There are thousands of “quotable quotes” or “hugot” lines that we can think of, but how these affects the mentality of individuals, their behaviors and personality. Are these quotable lines helpful in shaping opinions about you or just a way to create judgment on other people? They said that the mind is its own place and itself, can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven. It means your mind has a free will to think of anything whether it is “right or wrong” even “good and bad” but to translate this into action is a different story that requires social responsibility. I have made a research about “quotable quotes” on Facebook but I found the most intriguing lines in my inbox, not anywhere else. Some of my family members sent these “hugot” lines into my inbox. I have no idea of their intentions why they sent these quotable quotes, but one thing is for sure that they want to kill me with their words using the “hugot” lines. These are the “quotable quotes” I found that maybe you can relate: Supporting your parents financially is not a license for you to disrespect them…you will not be in your position if not from their sacrifices and love, respect your parents while they are alive.

As Jericho's Place Blog shows our solidarity with the victims and community of New Zealand, we will delete the name of the suspect in all our blogs not to make him fame but devote our sympathy to the victims of this horror attack. Updates from different News Agencies state that the man behind the shooting was charged with murder after the attack of the 2 mosques at Christchurch, New Zealand last 15 March 2019 during Friday prayers. The motive behind the killings is still being investigated by authorities. Some reports show that a manifesto circling the internet stating a subculture of extremism played an influence over the terror rampage, but it is still not confirmed. The death toll rose to 50 people with more than 30 people recuperating in hospitals. The victims arrived with multiple injuries on their bodies, cuts and embedded glass fragments that require multiple surgeries. Some of the victims are refugees from Syria and Afghanistan who fled to their country because of political insurgency but suffered and died on this atrocity. (Tourist landscapes and sceneries of New Zealand- photo credit from Jerichosplace.com) The world cannot believe that a quiet place like New Zealand

I thought heart attack is a term that is not applicable to the people surrounding me or friends and colleagues. I thought we are exempted…I thought it is happening to the people at old age, but it is now happening in front of my eyes with the same age as mine…approaching 40s. We don’t know really the heart attack until it became true to my eyes. What is really a heart attack? What you can do if you are far away from hospital to survive of the attack? A heart attack (myocardial infarction or MI) is a serious medical emergency in which the supply of blood to the heart is suddenly blocked, usually by a blood clot as explained by Wikipedia. A heart attack is a medical emergency with the symptoms below before the attack: Pressure, tightness, pain, or a squeezing or aching sensation in your chest or arms that may spread to your neck, jaw or back Nausea, indigestion, heartburn or abdominal pain Shortness of breath Cold sweat Fatigue Lightheadedness or sudden dizziness The practical steps if you feel the symptoms of heart attack at home and camp: Stop what you are doing then stay at safe place then call for medical help If you are not allergic with “aspirin”then take the medicine.

The story was shared for the lesson learned gain on her story. Please share your comments and feedback about the below article: I don’t want to write something about “wasta” because I don’t know really the meaning or if it has really a significance entity attached to the word. But I become curious as I always hear the word “wasta”. What is really the meaning of “wasta”? I google the word “wasta” if it really exists then I found the word from Wikipedia, it is an Arabic word that loosely translate to nepotism, clout or ‘who you know’. It refers to using one’s connections and/or influence to get things done, including government transactions such as the quick renewal of a passport, waiving of traffic fines, and getting hired for or promoted in a job. I first encountered the word “wasta” when one of our superintendents suddenly disappeared on site without any permission, he disappeared for one day…on second day…then on third day until the report came to our attention.

Our Bestfriend OFWs, we heard so much news that 737 Max 8 is banned for travelers due to aviation security. It is advised to use other airlines who are not using the same model. If you can remember, an Ethiopian Airlines flight from Addis Ababa bound to Nairobi crashed last Sunday (10 March 2019). It boarded a total of 157 with 149 passengers and 8 crews who died on the spot after fatal accident. News around the world said that the pilot had a problem with flight control as per recorded conversation with air traffic controller. The pilot was asked to return to base shortly before it crashed. More countries joined in suspending operation or issuing temporary prohibition and banning to their skies the Boeing Model 737 Max 8 planes. While most of corporate companies now are reissuing new flight tickets to use other airlines other than the said model.
