JAN 18

When youre drinking and I’m alone

do you know what I’m thinking?

When you come home drunk and stinking?

Shouting ” I dont need this shit”,

Do you think I do?

When you hit me in the dark and pinned me to the bed

you theatened me.

Can you see I’m not afraid of you

Can’t you understand theres not one thing you can do

to stop me loving you.

My face is sore

but what hurt me ten times more

was when you fucked her.

My eyes may smart but you broke my heart

when you fucked her.

When you punched the mirror, you hated what you saw

So now…theres glass all over the floor.

There’s blood everywhere

and glass in my hair.

Everywhere. Do you think I care?

You asked me , so what now, where from here?

I said sleep would be a good idea.

This is not new shit,

this is just more of the same old shit.

Was she worth it?

Was she really worth it?

The colours from this wind mobile caught my eye in our garden, as the wind picked up and dropped throughout the afternoon. Shot with the Sony-NEX5 in 1080i HD and down sampled to 720p.

And since, as I’ve said, it’s my first entry after weeks, I’ll give a full update about what happened in my whole week (I bet, this post will be so long).

Monday last week, January 23, Bea and I had a really oh my gosh talk. And since that will be the first after I got you know uhm… displeased? I don’t know what word to use to describe the thing that happened. Yah, and that went well. Everything is back on its track now and after things are settled, we are still friends. HAHA! That’s so fun. And it’s nothing now unlike what happened to me and Janine. And if you are going to ask why it went well with Bea but not with Janine, I could say that maybe it is because Bea loves me more than Janine do (I don’t even thinks she DOES love me) so she can’t you know afford to lose me. That’s so assuming of me. But on a more serious note, I think it is because Bea is willing to give a lot of effort just to make things okay again while Janine, I’ll let you judge.

Also, on my previous entry (second to the last rather) I said that I had an yah, for the second time an argument with Angelo. I was planning to have a talk with him the same day I had a talk with Bea however it just didn’t happened. And days passed before finally he came and asked for my forgiveness. Well he actually messaged me on Facebook and wrote me a letter saying he was sorry. But still I want to talk o him in person so that day wew. It was really fixed.

Then early this morning we had our Career Orientation a simple symposium held on our school and it was great. After the symposium, we had our lunch then while eating we asked each other what we wrote on the career map. Then a lot of them (my classmates eating inside our room) said that maybe my plan was after graduation I’m going to proceed on marriage (which is false). Then the whole room was happy and joking about that when my classmate, Edward (I call him “Kuya” a Filipino term used to address older guys, though he’s not really older than me but he’s really tall.) asked me a question but was stopped for that is when Angelo entered the room and joined our conversation he sat beside the table where we were eating. Then he proceed saying how many kids I want and I don’t want to answer seriously ‘cause for that wasn’t serious too and besides I still don’t know how many, then Angelo and I concurrently answered, SEVEN! That was when the whole room laughed, confused if it was because it was a bit unusual that we are thinking of the same answer or if they thought that was a serious answer, they might think that maybe we are destined enough to have the same ideal number kinds or maybe they just thought that seven was a really big number. I really don’t know but that scene was kinda cute.. haha! Nothing and just to make it clear I am not feeling any kilig, it was just so cute.

Introducing Adieu From The East:

Every week, VFTE’s sister publication AFTE will be offering an insight into the world of Field Hockey (hockey sur gazon) from across the Channel. Whilst the majority of dispatches will probably contain commentary on the most exciting league in world sport (EHL Men’s Conference East), AFTE also hopes to offer a glimpse of what hockey fans on the European mainland definitely aren’t thinking. In our first edition we offer a round up of the top news in French field hockey at the moment.

Pompidou Centre to host French Super 6′s 

Brentford Leisure Centre

Buoyed by the success of the EHL version of the same tournament, the world famous arts and cultural institution, the Pompidou Centre, is to host this year’s Gallic Indoor Hockey Championships. Normally home to the museum of modern art and named after well known hockey-enthusiast and sometime president of France, Georges Pompidou, residents of l’Hexagone are reportedly completely underwhelmed at the prospect of witnessing regional-league standard sport masquerading as a national competition. Curators are confused as to why the management wish to shut off the tourist attraction to the general public and install the idiosyncratic equipment required to host a minority sports tournament.

Inspiration: The Pompidou Centre

Director of cultural activities, Dominique L’Equipe, explains: “the Pompidou Centre has a long history of bizarre link-ups with British Sport (the museum’s architecture was based on the Brentford Leisure Centre’s distinctive exterior) but we simply cannot understand why this would ever go ahead or where you got this information”. The French Field Hockey Association were unavailable for comment and it remains for them to confirm when the finals will take place, but hopes are high that the event can inject some much needed tourist cash into the deprived Eurozone area.

National Team reeling after disastrous Euro Campaign

The French National Team returned home today after a disappointing European Championship campaign that saw them lose out 0-2 to Ireland, 1-8 to England, 1-8 to the Netherlands and 2-5 to Russia in the play-off for last place, making them the second most useless team managed by a Frenchman in world sport, slightly behind Arsenal. The French Field Hockey Association was again unavailable for comment, but sources reveal that the sport may soon be abandoned in France altogether due to total lack of interest.

English Legend to be honoured at French Club

Artist's impression

Salon de Provence, the French National League Division 2 side, are to unveil a statue in honour of their legendary English former player Ed Rooney, outside their home ground. Largely unappreciated in his own country, the Derbyshire-born striker, who scored 162 goals in just 24 matches is said to be humbled by the honour and hopes to return to France when his current contract with occasional touring side the Durham Knyghts expires in 2032. Affectionately known as “Fat Ed” during his time in Salon, Rooney was a huge hit with the crowds in the South of France, his no-nonsense style (and disciplinary record) drawing comparisons with that other Chesterfield sporting icon, Kevin Davies. The French Field Hockey Association was unavailable for comment.

That’s all from AFTE this week, but next time we hope to bring you all the pre-season transfer gossip ahead of the French national league season.

  I’m sure anyone who has watched the series noticed how the two communicate.  She barks and he follows.  I’ve seen relationships just like this one and that’s just their way of communicating.  Watching Kate yell at her husband can be funny at times but sometimes I feel she tends to be slightly abusive.  Some men can take it… and I guess some can’t.  Was that the case with Jon?  Or, are the rumours true… did Kate really cheat on him first .  So, he felt it was okay to do the same?  Payback?   Who knows the real story.   

Check out this before and after of Kate!  I saw this on a magazine while I was waiting in line to pay for my groceries and I thought wow, Kate looks so much like her mom… then it hit me!  That’s not her mom, that’s her… before the money!  Amazing. 

I guess viewers like myself are concerned mostly for the children.  Poor kids.  Sadly, divorce is so common now, but most children don’t have to read about it on the web or on the stands.  Hopefully things work out for the best.

 Update: 

How painful it was to watch these 2 during the last 15 minutes of their season premier.  It was obvious that they are on a break.  Kate cried at one point when asked how things were going.  Both explained that the kids came first and whatever happens it is only for the best for their children.  So, I guess the rest of the season will show how families deal with seperation.  I wonder if this will affect their ratings.  I’ll still be watching.

D – E’ vero che lavarsi i denti con il bicarbonato di sodio li sbianca e li mantiene più puliti?

R – Assolutamente no, anzi, è dannoso. I granuli di bicarbonato di sodio per uso domestico hanno un’azione abrasiva nei confronti di denti e gengive, provocando graffi allo smalto e irritazione delle mucose. E’ vero che il bicarbonato può tamponare la temporanea acidità che si instaura dopo i pasti (fattore favorente lo sviluppo della carie), ma andrebbe disciolto in bocca anziché sfregato. I dentifrici contenenti bicarbonato, per contro, non sono dannosi in quanto in essi il bicarbonato è polverizzato molto finemente ed è disperso in una soluzione acquosa.

D – E i chiodi di garofano? E’ vero che è utile masticarne quando duole un dente?

R – Può sembrare strano, ma è un sistema che ha delle basi scientifiche. Funziona solo se il dolore è dato da una pulpite, cioè un’infiammazione della polpa di un dente molto cariato. I chiodi di garofano contengono eugenolo, una sostanza dallo spiccato effetto antisettico e antinfiammatorio. L’eugenolo bidistillato, ottenuto proprio dai chiodi di garofano, fa parte della dotazione di ogni dentista. Come rimedio di emergenza, quindi, masticare un chiodo di garofano sul dente dolente può essere una buona idea.

D – Gli sciacqui con succo di limone e sale sono davvero efficaci contro le afte?

R – Questo rimedio va scartato. Le afte hanno probabilmente un’origine autoimmunitaria e gli unici farmaci che hanno una qualche efficacia sono dei palliativi che alleviano i sintomi in attesa che il disturbo si risolva spontaneamente. Ultimamente sono usciti in commercio dei dischetti adesivi che proteggono la lesione dallo sfregamento e che quindi aiutano efficacemente a sopportare il fastidio. Il succo di limone non solo è del tutto inattivo contro le afte, ma demineralizza la sostanza dentale provocando dei possibili danni. Il sale, poi, rende solo più sgradevole la miscela.

D – Gli sciacqui con acqua e sale servono a qualcosa?

R – A molto poco. L’acqua salata ha un’azione antisettica molto blanda. Avendo però una certa azione astringente,  gli sciacqui possono essere indicati nel periodo di adattamento ad una nuova protesi mobile.

D – E’ utile servirsi di spazzolini da denti con setole naturali?

R – Sono da evitare. Le setole naturali, sia di origine animale (tasso, zibellino), sia di origine vegetale (fibra di riso), hanno le estremità aguzze e taglienti e di conseguenza graffiano le gengive. Le setole sintetiche, al contrario, vengono arrotondate in fase di produzione e quindi hanno un’azione molto più delicata.

D – Una tradizione popolare suggerisce di detergere i denti con foglie di salvia per renderli bianchi. C’è una base scientifica?

R – La salvia officinalis contiene un olio essenziale ricco di canfora, oltre a sali minerali e vitamine B e C. L’olio essenziale di salvia ha un moderato effetto antinfiammatorio, per cui può dare sollievo in caso di gengivite. Lo sfregamento delle foglie sui denti non ha invece alcun potere sbiancante.

D – E’ vero che gli stuzzicadenti sono pericolosi?

R – Lo stuzzicadenti, se male usato, può in effetti essere dannoso. Va evitato per rimuovere i residui di cibo dagli spazi interdentali perché può lesionare la gengiva. Meglio quindi utiilzzare il filo interdentale. L’uso dello stuzzicadenti è consentito in caso di emergenza solo a chi è portatore di ponti e deve provvedere alla liberazione degli spazi sotto gli elementi sospesi. In linea di massima andrebbe utilizzato il cosiddetto scovolino**, ma lo stuzzicadenti può essere utile a chi ne fosse sprovvisto.

D – Un’ultima raccomandazione?

R – Evitate il fai-da-te. Ricordatevi inoltre che “naturale” non è sinonimo di “innocuo”; molte sostanze “naturali”, se male impiegate, possono provocare danni piuttosto seri. Nel dubbio, meglio chiedere consiglio a persone competenti.

the blues. All the preparation people do, then the

day comes and it is over in a flash. I know people

are glad when the mad holiday rush is over. I

am too. I just enjoy the actual day, and it seems

like it comes and goes in a flash. Christmas is my

favorite of all of the holidays. Our family had some

great Christmas days. We had one where relatives

from England came. This made for an excellent

day. It was nice seeing my Aunt Judy. This is the

first time I got to meet my cousin Peter. I was

sick when they first arrived, I got better in a couple

of days and was able to enjoy the visitors. I felt

blue when the tree came down. It seemed like

forever until another nice Christmas day.
