i attended the taebo and roadrun today and one amazing moment was happened. i nver expected it but i see them.whew!

it was early dawn today when i see 5 falling stars when i happened to look up..and oh i was so happy to see it again ang giving up some blow minding memories i had back years.

just remember those times when all i’ve done is to stare at the sky at night to see the stars above and sometimes i do happened to eyecatched a falling star. the memories of being with the sky makes me smille much…although im not good at naming them…i do see some constellations forming up there…i do see them and makes me go to sleep afterwards. maybe starwatching makes my day good afterall, thus i find haven seing them.

i do remember too that i have a dream on fa lling star directly falls on me when i was in college…although that falling star make me shiver a bit because in my dream i was already dead but well im still here enjoying the life God has given me. i do knew it was my guiding star who goes inside me and guides me and now im here on where i am..thanks for this stars who were my guides.

wishing upon the falling stars have great things done on me. i have many wish that came true and im thankful for giving it to me my falling stars.hahaha.although those stars fall but still they keep on eye on me.thanks a lot for doing it to me…i felt i was so blessed with this…

A meteoroid is a large sand to boulder-sized particle of debris in the Solar system. The visible path of a meteoroid that enters the Earth’s (or another body’s) atmosphere is a meteor, commonly called a shooting star or falling star. Many meteors are part of a meteor shower.

The root word meteor comes from the Greek meteōros, meaning high in the air.

A meteoroid is a small sand to boulder-sized particle of debris in the Solar system. Larger than that, the object is an asteroid; smaller than that, it is interplanetary dust. The current official definition of a meteoroid from the International Astronomical Union is “A solid object moving in interplanetary space, of a size considerably smaller than an asteroid and considerably larger than an atom or molecule.” The Royal Astronomical Society has proposed a new definition where a meteroid is between 100 µm and 10 m across.
A meteor is the visible event that occurs when a meteoroid or asteroid enters the earth’s atmosphere and becomes brightly visible. For bodies with a size scale larger than the atmospheric mean free path (10 cm to several meters) the visibility is due to the heat produced by the ram pressure (not friction, as is commonly assumed) of atmospheric entry. Since the majority of meteors are from small sand-grain size meteoroid bodies, most visible signatures are caused by electron relaxation following the individual collisions between vaporized meteor atoms and atmospheric constituents. The meteor’s just what we see.

A fireball is a very bright meteor. The International Astronomical Union defines a fireball as “a meteor brighter than any of the planets” (magnitude -4 or greater). The International Meteor Organization (an amateur organization that studies meteors) has a more rigid definition. It defines a fireball as a meteor that would have a magnitude of -3 or brighter if seen at zenith. This definition corrects for the greater distance between an observer and a meteor near the horizon. For example, a meteor of magnitude -1 at 5 degrees above the horizon would be classified as a fireball because if the observer had been directly below the meteor it would have appeared as magnitude -6.

The word bolide comes from the Greek βολις, (bolis) which can mean a missile or to flash. The IAU has no official definition of bolide and generally considers the term synonymous with fireball. The term is more-often used among geologists than astronomers where it means a very large meterorite. For example, the USGS uses the term to mean a generic large crater forming projectile “to imply that we do not know the precise nature of the impacting body . . . whether it is a rocky or metallic asteroid, or an icy comet, for example”. Astronomers tend to use the term to mean an exceptionally bright fireball, particularly one that explodes (sometimes called a detonating fireball).

A meteorite is a meteoroid or asteroid that survives its entry into the atmosphere and strikes the ground. A meteorite striking the Earth or other object may produce an impact crater. Geologists use the term bolide to mean a very large meteorite (see above).

In the 20th century, two people were reportedly struck by meteorites. Both survived with minor injuries. In the 1990s an empty car was struck and heavily damaged by a meteorite. The car sold as a collector’s item for several tens of thousands of dollars. In all there are some dozen cases of meteorite falls documented to have hit people, property, or animals.

Molten terrestrial material “splashed” from a crater can cool and solidify into an object known as a tektite. These are often mistaken for meteorites.

Most meteoroids are destroyed when they enter the atmosphere. The left-over debris is called meteoric dust or just meteor dust. Meteor dust particles can persist in the atmosphere for up to several months. These particles might affect climate, both by scattering electromagnetic radiation and by catalyzing chemical reactions in the upper atmosphere.

Many meteoroids are formed by impacts between asteroids though many are also left in trails behind comets that form meteor showers and many members of those trails are eventually scattered into other orbits forming random meteors too. Other sources of meteors are known to have come from impacts on the Moon, or Mars as some meteorites from them have been identified.

Even very small meteoroids can damage spacecraft. The Hubble Space Telescope for example, has about 100 tiny craters and chipped areas.

i got a backpain today..after lifting 3 big pails last night…..and the day was so harsh putting my back into a bit more pain. i wish i dont have this vulnerability..huh!

i guess its the payback of my younger years..remembering the time when i used to play karatedo and im always on sparring line everyday and i havent notice it gives my body so much damage….

i wish i could bear this until summer comes…..

it make me frown all day

Spine Basics

Your spine is made up of 24 small bones (vertebrae) that are stacked on top of each other to create the spinal column. Between each vertebra is a soft, gel-like cushion called a disc that helps absorb pressure and keeps the bones from rubbing against each other. Each vertebra is held to the others by groups of ligaments. Ligaments connect bones to bones; tendons connect muscles to bones. There are also tendons that fasten muscles to the vertebrae. The spinal column also has real joints (just like the knee or elbow or any other joints) called facet joints. The facet joints link the vertebrae together and give them the flexibility to move against each other.

Each vertebra has a hole in the center, so when they stack on top of each other they form a hollow tube that holds and protects the entire spinal cord and its nerve roots. The spinal cord itself is a large collection of nerve tissue that carries messages from your brain to the rest of your body. In order for your body to function, you need your nerves. The spine branches off into thirty-one pairs of nerve roots. These roots exit the spine on both sides through spaces (neural foramina) between each vertebra.

The spine itself has three main segments: the cervical spine, the thoracic spine, and the lumber spine. The cervical is the upper part of the spine, made up of seven vertebrae (bones). The thoracic is the center portion of the spine, consisting of 12 vertebrae. The lower portion of the spine is called the lumbar spine. It is usually made up of five vertebrae, however, some people may have six lumbar vertebrae. Having six vertebrae does not seem to cause a problem. Below the lumbar spine is the sacrum. The sacrum is actually a group of specialized vertebrae that connects the spine to the pelvis. During development (those nine months before birth), these vertebrae grow together or fuse creating one large “specialized” vertebral bone that forms the base of your spine and center of your pelvis. The nerves that leave the spine in the sacral region control the bowel and bladder functions and give sensation (feeling) to the crotch area.

The normal spine has an “S”-like curve when looking at it from the side. This allows for an even distribution of weight. The “S” curve helps a healthy spine withstand all kinds of stress. The cervical spine curves slightly inward, the thoracic curves outward, and the lumbar curves inward. Even though the lower portion of your spine holds most of the body’s weight, each segment relies upon the strength of the others to function properly.

Components of the Spine:

Vertebrae
The individual bones of the spine are the vertebrae. These are the building blocks of the spinal column. The vertebrae protect and support the spinal cord. They also bear the majority of the weight put upon your spine. The body of each vertebra is the large, round portion of bone. The body of each vertebra is attached to a bony ring. When the vertebrae are stacked one on top of the other, this ring creates a hollow tube where the spinal cord passes through.
The bony ring attached to the vertebral body consists of several parts. First, the laminae extend from the body to cover the spinal canal, which is the hole in the center of the vertebrae. Second, the spinous process is the bony portion opposite the body of the vertebra. You feel this part if you run your hand down a person’s back. Then there are two transverse processes (little bony bumps), where the back muscles attach to the vertebrae. Finally, the pedicle is a bony projection that connects to both sides of the lamina.
The vertebra, like all bones, has an outer shell called cortical bone that is hard and strong. The inside is made of a soft, spongy type of bone that is called cancellous bone.

Intervertebral Disc
The intervertebral discs are flat, round “cushions” that act as shock absorbers between each vertebra in your spine. There is one disc between each vertebra. Each disc has a strong outer ring of fibers called the annulus, and a soft, jelly-like center called the nucleus pulposus.
The annulus is the disc’s outer layer and the strongest area of the disc. It also helps keep the disc’s center intact. The annulus is actually a strong ligament that connects each vertebra together.
The mushy nucleus of the disc serves as the main shock absorber. The nucleus is made up of tissue that is very moist because it has high water content. The water content helps the disc act like a shock absorber - somewhat like a waterbed mattress.

Facet Joint
The facets are the “bony knobs” that meet between each vertebra to form the facet joints that join your vertebrae together. There are two facet joints between each pair of vertebra, one on each side. They extend and overlap each other to form a joint between the neighboring vertebra facet joints. Without the facet joints, you would not have flexibility in your spine, and you could only move in very straight and stiff motions.
The facet joints are what are known as synovial joints. A synovial joint, such as the knee or elbow, is a structure that allows movement between two bones. In a synovial joint, the ends of the bones are covered with a material called articular cartilage. This material is a slick spongy material that allows the bones to glide against one another without much friction.
Surrounding the facet joint is a watertight sack made of soft tissue and ligaments. This sack creates what is called the “joint capsule”. The ligaments are soft tissue structures that hold the two sides of the facet joint together. The ligaments around the facet joint combine with the synovium to form the joint capsule that is filled with fluid (synovial fluid). This fluid lubricates the joint to decrease the friction, just like oil lubricates the moving parts of a machine.

Neural Foramen
The neural foramen is the opening between every two vertebrae where the nerve roots exit the spine. The nerve roots travel through the foramen to reach the rest of your body. There are two neural foramina between each pair of vertebrae - one on each side. Without the foramen, nerve signals could not travel to and from the brain to the rest of your body. Without nerve signals, your body would not be able to function.

Spinal Cord and Nerve Roots
The spinal cord is a column of millions of nerve fibers that run through your spinal canal. It extends from the brain to the area between the end of your first lumbar vertebra and top of your second lumbar vertebra. At the second lumbar vertebra, the spinal cord divides into several different groups of fibers that form the nerves that will go to the lower half of the body. For a small distance, the nerves actually travel through the spinal canal before exiting out the neural foramen. This collection of nerves is called the cauda equina while it is still inside the spinal canal.

A protective membrane called the dura mater covers the spinal cord. The dura mater forms a watertight sack around the spinal cord and the spinal nerves. Inside this sack, the spinal cord is surrounded by spinal fluid.

The nerve fibers in your spinal cord branch off to form pairs of nerve roots that travel through the small openings (foramina) between your vertebrae. The nerves in each area of the spinal cord connect to specific parts of your body. This is why damage to the spinal cord can cause paralysis in certain areas and not others — it depends on which spinal nerves are affected. The nerves of the cervical spine go to the upper chest and arms. The nerves in your thoracic spine go to your chest and abdomen. The nerves of the lumbar spine then reach to your legs, bowel, and bladder. These nerves coordinate and control all the body’s organs and parts, and let you control your muscles.

The nerves also carry electrical signals back to the brain that allow you to feel sensations. If your body is being hurt in some way, your nerves signal the brain that you have been hurt. Damage to the nerves themselves can cause pain, tingling, or numbness in the area where the nerve travels.

Paraspinal Muscles
The paraspinal muscles refer to the muscles next to the spine. They support the spine and are the motor for movement of the spine. Your joints allow flexibility and your muscles allow mobility. There are many small muscles in the back - each controlling some part of the total movement between all the vertebrae and the rest of the skeleton. These muscles can be injured directly, such as when you have a pulled muscle or muscle strain of the back muscles. The muscles can also cause problems indirectly, such as when the muscles are in spasm after injury to other parts of the spine.

Lumbar Spine
The lowest part of the spine is called the lumber spine. This area has five vertebrae. However, sometimes people are born with a sixth vertebra in the lumbar region. The base of your spine (sacrum) is a fusion of many bones, and when one of them forms as a vertebra rather than part of the sacrum, it is called a transitional (or sixth) vertebra. This occurrence is not dangerous and does not appear to have any serious side effects.
The lumbar spine’s shape has what is called a lordotic curve. The lordotic shape is like a backwards “C”. If you think of the spine as having an “S”-like shape, the lumbar region would be the bottom of the “S”. The vertebrae in the lumbar spine area are the largest of the entire spine, so the lumbar spinal canal is larger than in the cervical or thoracic parts of the spine. Because of its size, the lumbar spine has more space for the nerves to move about.

Low back pain is a very common complaint for a simple reason. Since the lumbar spine is connected to your pelvis, this is where most of your weight bearing and body movement takes place. Typically, this is where people tend to place too much pressure, such as: lifting up a heavy box, twisting to move a heavy load, or carrying a heavy object. Such repetitive injuries can lead to damage to the parts of the lumbar spine.

Thoracic Spine
The thoracic spine is made up of the middle 12 vertebra of the spine. These vertebrae connect to your ribs and form part of the back wall of the thorax (the ribcage area between the neck and the diaphragm). This part of the spine has very narrow, thin intervertebral discs, so there is much less movement allowed between vertebrae than in the lumbar or cervical parts of the spine. It also has less space in the spinal canal for the nerves. The thoracic spine’s curve is called kyphotic because of its shape, which is a regular “C”-shaped curve with the opening of the “C” in the front.

Cervical Spine
The cervical spine is made up of the first seven vertebrae in the spine. It starts just below the skull and ends just above the thoracic spine. The cervical spine has a lordotic curve (a backward “C”-shape) - just like the lumbar spine. The cervical spine is much more mobile than both of the other spinal regions - think about all the directions and angles you can turn your neck.

Unlike the rest of the spine, there are special openings in each vertebra in the cervical spine for the arteries (blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart), as well as the spinal canal that carries the spinal cord. The arteries that run through these openings bring blood to the brain.

Two vertebrae in the cervical spine, the atlas and the axis, differ from the other vertebrae because they are designed specifically for rotation. These two vertebrae are what allow your neck to rotate in so many directions, including looking to the side.
The atlas is the first cervical vertebra - the one that sits between the skull and the rest of spine. The atlas does not have a vertebral body, but does have a thick forward (anterior) arch and a thin back (posterior) arch, with two prominent sideways masses.

The atlas sits on top of the second cervical vertebra - the axis. The axis has a bony knob called the odontoid process that sticks up through the hole in the atlas. It is this special arrangement that allows the head to turn from side to side as far as it can. Special ligaments between these two vertebrae allow a great deal of rotation to occur between the two bones.

my first my milo marathon and um running for 5k..huh! well…i’ve got 32:09 and it was another achievement for me…

after two rounds of marching on the greenery of the blue grasses that  were spreaded in the brown soil, i felt one by one the small bits of water rushing on me..that was a great thing to experience. and oh i felt im so blessed..thanks for this thing that have given me today..its a great day to celebrate life again..a great day to tell the world that im so glad i have experience this thing.

anyway, i really like to be under the sun except for the consequences it will brought to me..yes to me especially on my health…there had been good and bad..good that i’ve been energized again and bad that the sun rays could bring my migraine to ignite in a minute or two..i wish i could avoid it.huh!

well..thats in my system already. at least im alive and still enjoying every bit of the life that has given on me…what a happy life i have!!!!hahahaha

its terrible..i dont know why im sick right now…

its the thing that i dont wanna be. in me..coz it makes me lazy all day long..cant work and cant play my games.huhuhuhu

bad habit…habits…

i find it amusing that makes me feel weak over the week..i didnt know whats in me until i read my guide today that i have to break my bad habit or else it would go worst..huh!

i need to go on. i need to break it or else i wont finished what i intend to do.

hope i can do what i intend to do

shame! what a jerk?

i’ve been looking for my body scrub last friday and guess what?it wasnt there on my soapcase  instead i seen it on other’s soapcase.damn it makes my face frown…

is it proper to use someone else’s thing without asking permission?and of all the thing to use is a personal body scrub?whew! i’ve never done this. damn this girl she havent got the nerve to bring it back at my soapcase until this morning (its monday now) and she doesnt care whom was the owner of it. hah?

i confronted her this morning to ask if she used it and the NERVE…she uses it. she admit. she use it yesterday (which is sunday) but i havent seen it last friday night at my soapcase when i want to take a bath.shes such a liar and all she says is sorry.adding that “i gonna buy own mam” ha!is that all u can say? shit!shame this fucking girl!

doesnt she realized how uneasy it is for me thinking how it had been there…on her soapcase…and me taking a bath this weekend wasnt good enough for me coz i havent used my body scrub. seing it there makes me grind her to her last breath. i know its just my body scrub. a small thing. but for me its important. its my personal thing and i dont want anybody and anyone to use my things especially the things i used for my body.

i wanna slap her, kick her ass so her face would fell on the bowl. but yes i control my temper.i control mysellf that i just throw the body scrub on the trash can.what the heck?i cant use it again now that somebody have been using it for days. its my personal thing. i havent ask anyone to let them use me their body scrub. huh!

i’ve learned since i was a kid that dont use anyone personal thing even if u’d like their things. but hey….this woman is a nerd. a real bastard!relax to the max! and i cant let this thing pass me by. i’ve been a kind and of course a very understanding person but dont piss me out or else i wont hesitate to give u a shot.

now that she’d got what i have i wish (hope) that she’ll change or else she would got another one which is more painful on her part (she would get my punch and upper kick)..lol
