Oscar the therapy cat

In July 2007 David Dosa, a geriatrician and assistant professor at Brown University, in the New England Journal of Medicine features an article of Oscar, he started to gain attention. Dr. Dosa never had any intention to  give the people negative thoughts of the cat but just to share the extraordinary gift of an ordinary cat. Oscar was adopted and raised in the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Providence, Rhode Island, United States. The hospital is known as a "pet-friendly" facility because there lived six cats including Oscar. But before Oscar became the therapy cat there was also a pet who became the first therapy cat and named Henry(named after Henry J. Steere). Oscar is just an ordinary cat who was gifted with a talent to sense which patient will die.

He was raised to be a therapy cat and it was a success after the staffs noticed that Oscar would curl up to patients who are next to die because Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Centre is a hospital who treats patients with diseases and illness' which are on the final stages of life. Some explanations say that he observes from the lack of movement of patients or that the cat smells ketones which is the biochemicals released by dying cells. He would make his own rounds like a real doctor, he would sniff the patients and curl up and sleep with them. To whoever he sleep with the staffs would call the patient's family members because of the sign that the patient would die soon. And as predicted, the patient will die for about an hour or so, but im not sure if ever time he does that the patient would really die. Even when he is removed at the patients bed he would stay at the door and meow for protest wanting to get inside and sleep with the patient.Many animal experts and veterinarians say that Oscar may have the smelled the patient or observe the patients lack of movement. But there are also many claims that Oscar has any weird skills. But we don't know what the cat really is. Many thinks that Oscar is the grim reaper or the angel of death but some of the patient's families that Oscar for giving them time to comfort their loved ones in their last hours.No more further studies was researched about Oscar's abilities.

What do you think about Oscar?Is he a miracle or just a big joke?

Summer Tips to Defeat Boredom

It's already summer so no teachers ,no homework,no class and no classmates. Most teenagers are familiar with this line "I'm so bored!'. You say that whenever you feel like there's nothing interesting to do but you're too lazy to become interested on doing new things. Sitting in the front of the computer can lessen your boredom but does it do anything good to you? does being a couch potato do? It's very unhealthy right?

The world is full of mysteries and adventures and fun, its not all about boredom you just got to get out,find something to do maybe get a hobby,make new friends and stuffs. You just got to get active and discover the world (or just your neighborhood). So here are my tips/opinion on how to make your summer vacation less boring:

1."I think there's nothing to do at home"
Maybe there is! You may do some chores,maybe clean your yard,give you pet(s) a bath. Maybe invite some of your friends to hang out,eat snacks, have a movie marathon, play your favorite gaming console. There are lots of stuffs you can do at your home you just have to be active. You may also discover a secret passage going to your kitchen or bathroom?

2."Its so freaking hot!"
Well, if you leave in areas where it still snows if its already summer it's not a problem. But for those who live in tropical areas...."Wooo" it's so hot like you live in between earth and the sun. So why can't you go swimming with your family and friends at the beach or just a pool party at home. Get ice cream or yoghurt with your best buds.

3."I have no money cause I have no allowance!"
Why not go sell lemonades?or ice-cream cones?It's more fun to do it with your besties right? Doing your neighbors chores to get paid,at least you helped out to clean others home.

So that's all my tip for you. Make your summer memorable with peoples you love and have fun. Boredom can be defeated with lots of fun activities too!

A Cause of Bird Deaths

Endangered Bird's stomach full of plastic trash. If you don't pick it up they will.

According to Engineering Curious Cat Blog, none of the plastic trash (photo) was moved, placed, manipulated, arranged, or altered in any way. The image depict the untouched stomach contents of baby birds in one of the world’s most remote marine sanctuaries, more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent.
In a rare island many birds made their nests there. The plastics that was thrown into the sea surfaced into their island's shore in where they think it is a food so they eat it. As time goes by the plastic clogs their system and they cannot eat causing them death. If you won't put your trash into the right place they will. Take care of mother nature for all of us shares it.

Forever Alone

Being alone means you don't have friends or you have no friends,some times it may mean that you stay away from the cruelness of society or maybe you just make others feel bad about their selves so they keep away from you.

 But loneliness can literally make you sick. This feeling is associated with heart problems, viral infections, and increased chances of death. Being alone can be good or bad. But when you have friends they are always by your side helping you choose what society is teaching you. They are always there if  you need someone to lean on or someone to help you in their problems. So being forever alone is not that good but having friends is better.

Creativity at it's best

My annual visitor

Here in Manila, we only have two seasons. We have hot & cold, wet & dry or summer and rainy season, whatever. But every time this season comes, this friend of mine I call it friend because it visits me every year and I hate it very much. But I remember my parents hear them say that I have completed my vaccines when I was just a baby.

After I got back from school, it started off just as a sore throat. So I bought strepsils thinking this might prevent the on-going process but did not. Then the next day I woke up in fever, feeling so weak, headache, dizzy, no energy at all. I got FLU. And one thing we noticed in our community, neighbors have also. You can hear coughing and even the medicine at the drug store became out of stock.

After the fever is gone, here comes the sweating...all my towels and t-shirts will be piled up just because of sweat. Imagine my back becomes reddish because of wiping out sweat so many many times...then I feel pain. Good thing there's internet where I can research for cure or if there's no cure at least a soothing words to calm me down.

According to the article I read, the whole way to get rid of the flu is to sweat it out. Get lots of sleep, lots of water, wear flannel pajamas and stay in bed. In other words REST. Just follow the advise, in three days and you'll be fine. Stay at home in 3 days, to really get the flu out of my system. I still had a head-cold for a week, but the flu was gone.
