The Nomenclature of Age

One day Papsie’s aunt passed by the house and she is already 81 years old. She still travels on foot and still looks active. Papsie and I really admired her for the vibrant demeanor. We were like wishing that we still have the stance if we’ll be blessed with a few more decades of life.

Mother-in-law reiterated her argument on what talisman Tia Ata and others like her have. There is none, of course. Even the best fat burner will not give back anyone even a little of the strength and vitality he/she once had in his/her youth. But Tia Ata was able to take care of herself. She was able to maintain a medium built body by not eating food with a lot of salt and with so much fat. Perhaps she’s not a stubborn senior citizen. Perhaps she’s active and did not stop mobilizing her limbs. Maybe she’s not counterproductive and still wants to help in her little ways. Maybe she chooses not to deteriorate fast.

Sleeping Apart

I laughed at an article with a suggestion to the readers that to have a healthy life, you have to sleep apart from your husband, or from your wife. It sounded ridiculous to me when I read the first few lines. But as I go along, maybe the doctor has a point.

I thought of the movie Sleeping with the Enemy. While the movie portrayed the woman’s partner as someone who had bad intentions for her, sleeping with your husband or a partner that contributes to your bad health is almost synonymous though not intentional.

In the article, it was suggested that husbands and wives, or partners, should not sleep together. Dr. Neil Stanley of Britain said that sleeping should be like eating and exercising properly. But in the situation of a husband and a wife where they sleep together, it is truly detrimental to the health of both, he said. Different kinds of illnesses can be acquired like depression, heart ailment, stroke, lung disease, and others.

How can sleeping together with your partner be detrimental to your health? According to Dr. Stanley’s observations, when the sleep cycle is broken up, or simply when sleep is interrupted, chances are you do not get enough sleep that will cause restlessness and irritation the following day. What causes interruption then? It is when your partner moves or snores then sleep is broken up.

I beg to disagree.

I believe that it is more what the state of the mind is that contributes to good sleep. When one is physically and mentally stable, getting a good night sleep is easy even with your husband or your wife snoring or moving a lot during sleep. There are exemptions though when one snores very loud as if pushing a big dresser, then that could definitely ruin your good night sleep.

The tremendous amount of worries and uneasiness could also contribute. Peace of mind helps in getting a wonderful night sleep. In some cases, even with your husband or your partner not moving a lot, or not snoring, you will be awakened with a bad dream that concerns a particular problem that has been bugging you for days.

I could not imagine sleeping at night without Papsie by my side. I know it is a matter of getting used to the situation but truly, I could not imagine, especially when after special nights, you are tranquilized to a beautiful sleep because of the backbreaking performances. That I guarantee will give you a sound sleep.

Danny

It was his 41st birthday last March 6, 2005. It was not a big celebration like it was on his 40th birthday. Given the current situation, where bills and expenses are piling up, we have to cut a little on the celebration and do away with what is on hand.

Nevertheless, it was a happy celebration. He made all his friends happy again. He was happy, too, because the merrymaking was a success though not all of his friends were there. Everybody had fun, what with all the banters he hurls every once in a while mixed with his laughter that is so infectious, and with the nasty and mean jokes which everybody understood.

Danny is truly a person of gaiety. It is so easy for him to treat life that way – fun, laughter, jests, naughty remarks. You see and hear him most of the time happy. Perhaps that is his way of facing life’s hurdles. I know it is not that easy for him, being a stroke victim, for almost 17 years. But he had managed to live accordingly though not normally.

He always tells me that he wanted to live a little longer to see his children grow. And God is good to him, letting him see his daughter bloom like a beautiful bud and see his son grow very smart and dotingly loving him. He loves unconditionally and treats all his loved ones in ways we can never ever forget. He has his moods, all right, but leveling it with what he is as a husband, a father, and a son, will cover all the frailties.

I salute him with all respect. I admire him for the courage. I like the character of strength in him. I love every detail of his person.

Through years, he had proven to be that wonderful person I perceived him to be the first time we met…
