Bring On The Brain: 10 Brain Facts That Make You Go ‘Hmmmmm….’
LOL. I just had to laugh at that title.
Anyway, my Natural Science 2 class at the university is now dealing with the nervous system. Of course I have to prepare for my teaching right, and one particular preparation merits posting on this blog.
I was surfing the net for interesting brain facts and what I found were certainly most interesting! I decided to pick only 10 amongst the humongous amount of information I was able to find. Here you go. And tell me how they made you go ‘hmmm….’
10 BRAIN FACTS that make you go Hmmmmm….
1. The electric consumption of your brain when you are awake can illuminate a low wattage light bulb, about 23-25 watts.
2. You are actually paralyzed when you are sleeping because your brain produces a hormone that stops you from acting out your dreams.
3. It is not possible to tickle yourself because your cerebellum, a part of your brain, warns your system about what you are about to do so you can never burst into a fit.
4. It is not your brain that is hurting when you have a headache because your brain does not have any pain receptor. Doctors can actually operate on your brain when you are wide awake without anesthesia and you will not feel anything.
5. If the blood vessels on your brain would be laid out it will circle the world more than four times because it is about 100,000 miles.
6. An octopus has more nerve cells compared to a man, 300 billion opposed to 100 billion.
7. In finding a man, size does matter – the size of his vasopressin receptor that is. The longer it is the longer a man is likely to be trustworthy, loyal, and faithful.
8. The female is nature’s default setting. All fetus have the female gender from the start but at about eight weeks old, a sudden surge of male hormones comes from the brain that kills all of the female attributes.
9. Love hurts – literally, because the receptors in the brain for physical pain and emotional pain are the same.
10. In order for a woman to be able to have an orgasm during sex, her amygdala, the brain center that controls fear and anxiety must be turned off. One good tip: warm her feet.
Having My Cake & Eating It Too
My Happy First Blog Birthday Cake from my friends from the university paper!
Happy Birthday to me!
Happy Birthday to me!
Happy Birthday… Happy Birthday…
Happy Birthday to me!
Today is this site’s first year anniversarry. It really is a cause for a celebration because to be able to maintain this site, that I did not really want and ask for at first but loves dearly now, really exceeded all expectations.
So much has happened to me in the past year that really would go down history, and it was such a joy that every single lunacy I did was documented here.
The effect blogging had on me was really a positive one. Aside from giving me a wider audience where I can take my cause through my writing, it has given me an entirely new learning experience, not only with my writing but more importantly, it has taught me a new definition of the words friends and interpersonal relationships.
I also strongly believe that blogging has made me a lot smarter too because it made me read a lot. More than that, blogging has given me an avenue to where I can process all of the insights lost here and there on the cluttered portions of my brain, my reflective thinking almost always working up and about and because of that it has made me a better person – a more analytical, more deliberate, and more mature person.
Of course I owe all of this to that one person who forced me – who dragged me by the arm – to put up my own blog, exactly one afternoon a year ago which we will all hide in a cloak of anonymity through the name ACOSTA, RICHMOND QUERUBIN, RN, the moderator of one of the best personal blogs in the world, but apparently he doesn’t know it, The Last Mon Standing, formerly Guardian Angel Acosta.
So with 102 published posts, 2, 029 comments, a lot of blog friends, and one good year behind me, allow me to include here my earlier posts – you could see they were my firsts because the comments were almost empty, well, except for Mon’s words. LOL.

If Love Makes The World Go Round Then I’m Awfully Dizzy
I created my blog obviously on the 26th of February 2007 but I only started blogging regularly when July came, when I finally started to appreciate the joys blogging possesses – and I intend to appreciate it more in the years to come.
Thank you everybody for giving me a worthwhile experience.

I received a most wonderful comment yesterday on my post titled The Year of the Chocolate from the creators of the We Feel Fine movement.
Query 2: How To Make Brain Milkshake
My Man and I got this tiny cute box of questions from papemelroti that went by the name Query 2.
A fun papemelroti product
What do you know, we opened the box and it is really fun! There are card pieces inside with critical thinking questions – some appearing innocently simple but is definitely hard to answer. We got all excited about it that we decided to post some questions and our answers here.
As I am making this entry, my Babe is here beside me at my house, tinkering with my laptop because I have issues with its speed, hmmm… lack thereof more aptly.
Anyway, the papemelroti box is open and let us start to answer those queries for a healthy brain milkshake!

Query No. 2
ME: When you start doing things you do not want to do.

MY MAN: Mixed Martial Arts! Or sing. LOL (PM: Bakit sing? Napaka astig nung una tapos singing? MY MAN: Eh ganun talaga eh!)
100 Smiles
You may have known that the results of the November 2008 state licensure examination for nurses was released today…
The family just finished praying tonight’s rosary – the sorrowful mysteries…
Ironically…
PM just had one of the best days of her life!
From this day on, PM’s name will be four letters: PM, RN. How cool is that?
PM,RN
Oh God, I cannot find the words to explain how I am feeling now – especially when I just found out that I passed. I was snacking with my Man when I got the news. You know what? I think he went more ballistic compared to me! We were just so happy – as well as the whole family, laughing and crying at the same time, my good friends calling and sending me congratulatory messages.
There were different ways on how we found out.
ME (sleeping… 600AM): (phone rings) Hello…
MY MAN: Babe tiningnan ko sa internet wala pa namang results ng board exam. [Babe I searched the internet for the results of the board exam and found none yet.]
ME: (groggy) Ganun ba? Okey lang yan baka naman bukas pa? [Is that so? It's alright maybe it will be released tomorrow?]
MY MAN: Hindi ko alam eh, teka lalabas lang ako, bibili ako ng diyaryo [I don't know. Wait, I better buy a newspaper]. (again this is the ungodly hour of 600AM).
ME: Okay sige Babe, try mo sa Manila Bulletin maghanap [Okay, try to look at Manila Bulletin].
(after maybe half an hour, phone rings again…)
ME: Hello…
MY MAN: Babe pambihira walang Manila Bulletin dito! [Babe there isn't any copy of Manila Bulletin here!]
ME: LOL ganun ba? [Is that so?]
MY MAN: Oo eh, di bale hahanap pa ko sa ibang tindahan [Yes, no matter, I'll just look for another news stand].
(phone rings again… 730 AM)
ME: Hello?
MY MAN: Babe wala eh, tiningnan ko sa Inquirer, wala naman, pati sa headlines ng Manila Bulletin sa net wala din [I did not see it, I tried looking it up in Inquirer and on the site of Manila Bulletin but none still].
ME: Ah… baka naman bukas pa talaga [Maybe it will really be released tomorrow.
(1300 PM, while eating)
ME: OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!
MY MAN: Oh bakit? Bakit? [Why?]
ME: Lumabas na daw ang boards! Eto! [showing a text message from my sister Ched and my cousin Dr. Alex] Pumasa na ko! [The board exam results came out. I passed!]
MY MAN: Waaaaaaaaaaaaa! Pumasa ka na? Pumasa ka na! Waaaaaaaaaaaaa! Galing naman! [That's amazing!]
ME: OMG! Ang bait-bait ng Diyos! Ang blessings sabay-sabay! [The Lord is so good, pouring so many blessings at once in my life!]
MY MAN: Oo nga! Grabe ang galing! [Truly amazing!]
ME: Tara tingnan natin sa internet! [Let's look it up the internet!]
MY MAN: (upon seeing it) Wow! Ang yabang! Ayun! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee! [It's there! That's awesome!]
ME: I can’t believe it!
MY MAN: Ang galing mo Babe! [Well done!]
ME: It’s a miracle!
(by this time I replied to the text message of Ched)
CHED: Lumabas na boards. [The results are out.]
ME: I know.
CHED: (pretending not to know yet) So what is the result?
ME: (pretending I’m not going insane over it) I passed.
CHED: Of course you passed. Silly you, silly you.
My youngest sister, Kulot, found out this way: one of her classmate had an elder sibling who also took the state boards so she asked her to look me up.
CLASSMATE: Ano nga pangalan ng ate mo? [What's your sister's name again?]
KULOT: PM
CLASSMATE: Oo nandun, pumasa! May second name ba yung pangalan ng ate mo? [Yes it is on the list! Does your sister have a second name?]
KULOT: Oo! [Yes!]
CLASSMATE: Oh yun nga nandito. Ano nga yung middle ninyo? [It is really here. What is your middle name again?]
KULOT: S
CLASSMATE: Ah oo, Salcedo [Ah yes, Salcedo].
KULOT: Anong Salcedo? Hindi Salcedo! S***** [It is not Salcedo!]
CLASSMATE: Ay oo tama, S***** nga! [Oh right, not Salcedo!]
My family found out later than I did, I did not inform them, right away but they found out soon enough. Piapot was the one manning the internet and when she found a site with the list of the passers she told me she did not say it immediately to our parents because she was so nervous she wanted to make sure she saw my name first! When she did she showed it to my family and they all laughed and cried at the same time. We were so happy!
OMG I am just overflowing with gratitude to the Almighty and to everyone who prayed for me, who believed in me, and who supported me all the way, thank you, thank you, thank you! Even to you blog friends who had me included in your prayers!
Of course I know this is only the beginning – I know so because when I said God is pouring it on in my life I really meant it. Job opportunities are creeping up one after the other, nursing related and not so much – probably the most unbelievable is the one I got yesterday – a call from a national daily in Metro Manila with an opportunity to write for their weekly lifestyle magazine! God is so good!
At this point in my life I truly am a firm believer in the fact that God has a plan for our lives and everything happens for a reason, one that we may not understand but will sure do in time.
Last June I failed to take the board exam because of the Northcap review center scam – I did not understand why it happened but I embraced it as one of God’s disguised miracles, and in doing so I had the chance to teach, go back to the university and be Ma’am PM to my students, and now of course, finally be PM, RN. Indeed, there will always be times in our lives when we have to move and let go even when we do not know where we are going or what we are doing – because each time we do not know, surely, it is God who knows.
So many words are tumbling like water from a broken damn from inside my heart and yet I feel like all the joy inside me is still brimming full. When I reach my old age I am assuming I will be badly wrinkled because of all the smiling I did today, and in the last days that had proven to be so wonderful and blessed ones.
Also, if you are wondering why the title of this post is a hundred smiles, it is because, coincidentally, this is PM’s 100th blog post.
Congratulations everyone, tap your shoulder, good job!
Revisiting Childhood Dreams
I do not remember much of my younger years but the little I do remember sticks with me like spilled paste. One of the fondest I got I remembered during my flight from Manila to Cebu when I was going to Palawan.
It gave me more joy to watch planes fly than actually ride one!
Looking out the window, I remembered telling myself when I was a little kid that when I grow up, I would ride a plane and when it is high up in the sky I would stick my hand out of the window and grab me one fluffy cloud for me to keep.
Clouds look like tasty cotton candy
Thinking about it now made me recall another dream of mine, this one I had when I was in high school. I remember somebody asking me about what I wanted to do with my life and my answer was, “I want to be able to lay on the clouds and just do nothing each day but rest.” Now I think that’s not a bad dream at all.
I'd sure love to own a bed made of clouds
Thinking about all these made me realize that some childhood dreams we do not really reach, and some do change over time, but one way or the other, if we really think about it, our childhood dreams we still have somewhere inside, and some, without even realizing it, we have already achieved.
First Time: Prinsesa Musang in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan
At first I thought I’d title this post ‘PM Devirginized’ but I later decided to go against it because it sounded so scandalous – kids read this blog you know? LOL.
I’m back from Palawan everyone, my first travel via an airplane [would you believe I went to Tugegarao last year and rode a 13-hour straight bus ride?]. Thank you for all the love you’ve sent me even when I was not able to visit your sites, especially on heart’s day! Belated Happy Valentine’s everyone! I will be bloghopping soon, hopefully I would get updates on how you spent your heart’s day.
As for me, well, my Man and I were not together last Saturday because my flight got me back at around 11 PM, too bad it was so late, my Man was hoping he could see me that same night but, it’s okay, maybe we would make this week a week-long valentine celebration. LOL. Palawan was the best, but I still love it here at home of course, with my Jin. LOL.
Speaking of Palawan, OMG it was an amazing place – especially the Puerto Princesa Underground Cave or what is called the Subterranean River that finished first place on the first round of voting for the world’s new7wonders of nature. I am defintely campaigning for it so if you haven’t voted yet, please do! Worth it, worth it, worth it!
Palawan Subterranean Underground Cave Entrance
I have not seen all of the candidates yet but if you have been to the Underground Cave I know you will perfectly agree with me that it is definitely a wonder of nature – it was breathtaking! And when I say something is breathtaking, it truly is because I am not the type of person to go all exaggerated about this things.
Stalactites and stalagmites at the entrance!
The cave is about a two-hour bus ride from the city which is kind of long but definitely worth it. It is amazing how the landscape slowly shifts from commercial establishments into forest lands and huge marble mountains on the way to the cave. After the bus ride, you have to take a boat for about half an hour and that will take you to the shore of the underground cave.
Interestingly, while waiting for our boat ride, I decided to walk along the shores and wet my feet on the cold sea because it was freaking hot. As luck would have it, the stones on the shore were slippery so… PM tripped and landed on her hipbone, wetting her capris and getting them all dirty. LOL. It was not crippling though, thank God.
My mentor and her daughter who made the trip with me
That is an actual tree branch on the shore near the cave. It was so cool since it looked like a swing! From here you will need to walk, maybe a couple of meters or so and the amazing cave entrance will greet you next.
My friends on our way out of the cave
The tour of the cave is via a boat that can carry about 7-10 people and it will take you on a fascinating journey on one of God’s most wonderful creations. It is awfully dark inside the cave but the boat is accompanied by some sort of spot light so you can very well see the beauty of the cave and all the bats and swallows that call it home. The tour closes at around 6 PM because tons and tons and tons of those same bats fly out of there during that time – certainly not a wonderful treat if you are still inside the cave, maybe a good view outside, but inside? Maybe a nightmare.
The cave is completely navigable and has open ends on both sides about 42 kilometers long, claiming to be the world’s longest navigable underground cave, but the tour will only take you to about 1.2 kilometers inside the cave. I have not gotten our pictures inside the cave yet from my friend but I will make sure that I will be able to post it within the week so you will be able to see.
What is amazing about the underground cave apart from the obvious gigantic stalactites and stalagmites are the interesting rock formations inside. They are many but what I find most amazing is the place they call the ‘cathedral’ inside which houses a group of rock formations that takes statuesque form like that of the Nativity, the three Magi of Jerusalem, the Last Supper, the Virgin Mary, and in the middle of all these is a humongous stalagmite that looks like a melting candle. There was also one that resembled the face of Jesus Christ. OMG it was so amazing!
The trip costs around P1500 per person and you can easily avail of it on your hotels; they usually offer tour packages to their guests, but if there is none there are loads of people who will give you flyers on your way out of the airport and you can choose from there whether it be the Monkey Trail, Honda Bay, Tubattaha Reef or the Subterranean River – your choice.
The main commercial place of Palawan is Puerto Princesa City. It is not a big city, the fact I love most. It is quiet but very accesible, plus they have a very beautiful capitol compound that is made of marble from the outside up to the inside!
My friend Lexy and my mentor's daughter Charisse
I seriously think that Palawan is a very rich province, and I predict theirs will be a mega city way down anytime soon like Cebu and Davao. Foreigners frequent it and that line just to see their cave is unbelievable, so I think it’s all the way up for Palawan.
Tons of shiny marble inside the capitol building!
And oh, I almost forgot to tell you, the most interesting part of this trip to Palawan is that… I almost did not make it! LOL. Of course during that time it was no laughing matter because my friends needed to come to Puerto Princesa on the 11th because they were joining a press congress.
First was the fact that we went to the wrong terminal. LOL. We were at NAIA Centennial Terminal and upon checking-in we realized we were supposed to be at the new Terminal 3!
Next mishap was, our flight was booked on 9:40 AM at Philippine Airlines but it turned out that they overbooked! They told us that they are willing to house us at a hotel then they will give us a plane ride the next day. No way that’s going to happen! So my Mentor arranged for us and ‘aggresively negotiated’ with PAL supervisor that ended up with PAL buying us plane tickets in another airline, Cebu Pacific.
We thought it was going to be okay so we rested and waited at the departure lodge only to find out during boarding time that the plane we were about to ride was not going to Palawan but in Cebu! We all panicked because first of all, our luggages are already on that plane! My Mentor ‘more aggresively negotiated’ with PAL, this time with so much pressure since we wanted to fly so badly because we had a time to catch. It turned out that My Mentor, the people of Cebu Pacific, and PAL had a miscommunication. We really were hopping on that plane to Cebu and from there we will get a connecting flight via Cebu-Palawan. So, PM was also able to go to Cebu. LOL.
In Cebu, it was again another comedy of errors. When we arrived, check-in time for the Palawan trip was over and we were again stranded. So another ‘aggressive negotiations’ transpired and we ended up inside that plane to Palawan.
Whew! That was such a headache! By the time we reached Palawan it was already 5 PM, to think we were supossed to be there at around 11 AM! Oh well, thinking about it just made the trip more itneresting, and a memorable first. But the best part was that my friends won on the press congress the attended! Yey!
OMG. After that Palawan trip I am now convinced tha really, you never forget your first time.
Nothing Like Roast Chicken… with Dirt
Litson manok stand beside the busy road
Late last week, my Man and I decided to have litson manok [roast chicken] for lunch. It is funny because while we were eating I asked him what is litson manok in English and we just could not figure it out! Later that night I thought, maybe it is roast chicken, is it?
But obviously it is not your ordinary roast chicken, for instead of being oven cooked, our litson manok is slowly turned, smoked and roasted on top of charcoal, like a grill minus the actuall grill part. You can get it almost anywhere and they usually are sold beside roads everywhere.
It is very tasty too! And I know the secret – it is because of all the dirt and smog that clings to it from the road. LOL!
And by the way, if you will look a little closely at the photo you will see a stripe-wearing PM reflected oh-so-lightly by the glass on that litson manok stand.
ILYVM!
Since it is valentine week, let me start the lovey-dovey, goggly-eye week by being ahead of everybody with this post. Give me the mush license because it is very unfortunate that I will not be with my Man on the 14th – starting from the 11th actually because I am going on a trip to Palawan, in Puerto Princesa City.
I will miss my Babe terribly. T_T
Later this morning we played ROSE on line together yet again and by the time it was 12, I had to eat with my family so I told him that I would brb, since the language ROSE on line uses is mostly that of IM, I jokingly typed ILYVM, short for I love you very much. We really had a good laugh about it.
Earlier this month I bought him a present from papemelroti. I thought this is the perfect post to share it with.
For loving me unconditionally for the past half decade
For doing all that and more.
Sorry for the bad photos but I think if you lean in close enough you will be able to read what’s written on it. I advise you to go get your loved ones one of this too!
Times like this make my Man and I realize how much we feel for each other, since it has been so long but we still have that kilig [warm, fuzzy feeling you get when you are in love] element in our relationship that is mostly abundant during beginnings, but I am happy to say we have not lost it, that’s why we are happy. I honestly think all this time we still have the biggest crush on each other!
I am so going to miss my Babe T_T. I have not left yet but I already want to go home! LOL.
ILYVM my Man.
Going in Circles
When I was still in college finishing my first degree, I kept a column for the paper titled ‘Prinsesa’s Anatomy’ – the same title carried by my blog. But when I returned to the university to get graduate education, I decided to change my column to ‘Going in Circles’.
One of my friends who was also an editor for the same paper was surprised when he saw it and told me, “Ay bakit hindi ka na Prinsesa [Why is is that you changed, and not a Princess anymore]?
I only answered with a smile. I though ‘Going in Circles’ was perfect and it did reflect what I was feeling for that particular time – that indeed, I was going in circles. I just graduated from college then two months after I was back again, a student again, writing again.
On it’s entirety it was not a bad thing – I just thought that well, I was going in circles. It was not regression though, because the PM who returned was more mature, a hell of a lot smarter and stronger. When it came to performance I was always progressive.
But some habits I had before I still kept on doing, did not change at all. I preferred it that way though instead of changing but only to go back again, with the question of a matter of time.
And that kind of thing is what I actually hate in life, in dealing with other people. I hate people who appeared to have changed but still time would prove otherwise and would revert back to old habits. Maybe that’s why you call them habits – they do not die easily, hard to shake off, and even when you think you have kicked them out they would hopelessly return. Instances like that annoys me so much. I hate inconsistencies. I hate irregularities. Maybe because I am a mind set kind of person. Once this is what I already saw, heard and have already experience, I would expect that time and again. I hate regressions.
But it is not to say that I do not have my moments. There are certain points in my life I cannot perfectly leave behind – especially the ones I felt gravely strong about. But I do not fool myself into thinking I am fine about it when I know I am not, so that is not really regression after all but letting go problems more aptly.
I think one of the many reasons why we end up in discord is because we tend to go on circles, even when we know we are better off traversing a straight path.
We never learn.
Of course I agreed to their request. Actually I feel very much honored that they considered my writing moving – which of course was actually my goal: I wanted to make people feel, to touch lives, and affect change in my own little way.
This reminded me of something I wrote a couple of years ago as an introduction to our literary folio that was published for the university paper last AY 2007-2008, my ‘From the Editor-in-Chief’ piece. It talked about the magnanimous wonder that is the human psyche, the unbelievable passion and struggle that we call ‘normal’ human behavior.
Allow me to share it here once again as I believe it has the capacity to give you a rush of appreciation on how it is to be your own man.
There you go. I wrote this when I was 19. Indeed, man is like one bottled emotion waiting to be poured time and again – and that’s what makes him beautiful.

Yesterday, PM went to the big city to take an exam for a job opportunity at the company of a national daily. It took me three long hours to accomplish it, but when I did it felt right.
I would like to give my biggest thanks to my Kuya Alex, MD and his father Kuya for all the help and support they gave me yesterday, for going out of their way to give me assistance. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much! It felt like a rerun of the way to my board exam! LOL. And advance happy, happy birthday to my Kuya Alex, MD on the 27th! Yey! Party time!
Speaking of party, my review center threw a victory party yesterday for what we registered as 87.5% passing rate for them. I was not able to go – I was dead like a road kill cat yesterday.
But to everyone from Succeed Review Center who passed, CONGRATULATIONS! You are now unemployed, but a licensed one at that! LOL. Seriously, good job mate, we did it and we did it good. See you when I see you guys.
FLASH REPORT: PM will be celebrating her first blog birthday tomorrow.
