It depends! My bag is finally! : D
After massive action-packed discussions and negotiations in the mall is' it at the end of 25 € / 1700 pesos more expensive one probably. 20 kilos heavier and with some heavy-loaded mattresses made cloth bag, which I after buying the 30 minutes away Tacloban somehow had to bring them home. To keep transportation costs low, I have the easy part even from the city towed home. The Jeepneyfahrt has not differed from others, but the search 'has the nerve and lift Gelatsche between them lasted longer and was much funnier than usual because I absolutely had to share a laugh every Filipino that since I' to carry NEN punching bag on his shoulder. Then I deliberately definitely know.
Yes. Anyway, he now hangs in one of my four corners so 'Ner ingenious, self-designed structure. The thing - a wooden structure made from the finest wood from the construction site vollgenageltem for 20 years no longer put into operation Menem construction training center in my storage shed - at least appears to be stable. Probably more stable than anything that I have in my life so constructed ':> could be due to the 5-inch concrete nails, which were even more stable than the hammer.
I have only recently been so many of my Millennium goals, and now comes to the punching bag. Damned good. The others are in very different way, learning the Russian (so true with writing and reading, I could never really: D - Thanks for the motivation, Andi ^ ^) last aus'm and poverty phase mail.
... But somehow I'll get you still accomplish a lot just enough of the too many things that I really at this Years would be set up. I can even mitposten in the next post the list that I've rigged up in the first few months and I extend straight (the adventure stuff, almost all new, from me 'n some of them've heard also in the last days because Wojtek and Chris told me of so many new things - which are still on it with).
Still, if you even more beautiful and the Philippines, practical ideas / hobbies or whatever you said ma 'know! Usually, I am indeed on creative when it comes to ideas for their own amusement, but perhaps you also think of something cool. Particularly popular are sports-related ideas for daily exercise : P Otherwise
is' since the last post and quite a lot of other stuff happened. Mainly these are indeed my 2-week illness, the intermediate seminar And a trip to Guiuan, but yes - I have plenty busy.
relatively quickly after the last post have I cooked up my fear of anyone with anything (everything points to the fact that Jesse has triggered an epidemic of Artetche among the volunteers - but who knows) This has about 40-41 degrees high fever for 2 -3 days including chills and nice Schweissausbruechen triggered. Therefore my bed stinks now - and I have something to not feel like washing my duvet cover on there with a 2nd degree burn on my finger (I will never take my mind back to the pasta cooking ) In any case, let's -.- then went for 2 weeks with diarrhea and migraine-like headache attacks. Except for the burning I am now back to my happiness healthy. And
been for a weeks work and thinking back to normal. The deeply philosophical thoughts are now so shoot through my head: D That's the seminar between now again improves strongly. There, they just had massive people can order their behavior and attitudes will be a real lot of thought. The biggest part of my world view has changed even before slightly longer time quite basic, but here the change is still alittle bit deeper. And I like the change.
particularly As for what tolerance (without reference to anything, but just in general) and being human, I am now I believe only by the Weltwaerts time on it differently than before. Otherwise, I would have probably been 'n large part on ideas ideas and input and their own reflections from it, for that matter.
Yes. Watch Is 'so' ne mix of volunteers, Filipinos, and myself, the me-brain here changed moderately. But
well. Details I'll tell only Einzelgespraechen. To run the blog, I'm just too lazy:)
The intermediate seminar was certainly pretty ... naja - useless, have I the feeling. Although I am glad it has happened because I was able to meet the other volunteers and me could make for 'ne perception or' nen plan my early Negros (is' ne neighboring island) trip - but otherwise it has to me personally on the first-aid course just used hardly anything. They mentioned some minor problems, most of them but has not been solved because the responsible could not participate in the discussion evening. 'Ne week in the best Hotel Tacloban for me poor wretch was still cool. About Geiles bed, smoking-hot food - at the expense of others: /
And by the way would I still like to 'clarify something.
In my code of conduct is as follows:
confidentiality :
Internal information on the DED and my partner organization and
personal information about their employees and my "weltwärts"
colleagues I treat confidentially.
The term "internal information" is "but very stretchy, I treated" my opinion about the intermediate seminar times as such. When the DED to protest encounters: just mail:)
Sunday and because there 's some people on something, tell me of my leisure time experiences the last time.
The weekend after the seminar were Chris, Lena, Beccy, I - Saturdays, the Olivia - an 'NEM Lake near Ormoc (cool part, was only evil cold - we were sure of Filipinos to eat on' nem floating house auf'm Lake invited: D) and Digyo off the coast of Iceland Baybays. The GR has cost me but to the 1,700 pesos, but I was allowed to take violent sunburn, wonderful experiences and have fun with home. Iceland has
On Digyo I also the most violent shock for me experience in the Philippines. I was snorkeling and wanted to define 'cool photograph NEN, red sea urchins (the way you can admire the newly uploaded photos). In search of the thing 'at I' have NEM casual look down 'ne sea serpent seen. The thing is the opinion of reliable sources of information very toxic. And there are at most three feet away from me: D She has bitten any case non-even if I am weggeschwommen frantically whirled and saw massive water. Our amateur biologist Wojtek has also assured me on Monday that the sea snakes bite and almost never completely peaceful, are even touchable. Filipinos are even said that the 4 living snakes while the fingers hold the tail ^ ^
Wikipedia confirmed the whole thing:
Seeschlangengift
Seeschlangengift is considered one of the strongest snake poisons. The animals have fixed fangs in the front of the mouth, they belong according to the so-called "proteoglyphen" snakes. It's teeth are slightly shorter than in the terrestrial snake venom, its length is sufficient for most species, however, to penetrate human skin. Exceptions are some species that have mainly specialized in the diet is fish spawning.
put the animals to defend their bite, run away, except in the mating season, very rarely, instead they prefer. Especially in Southeast Asia, the animals are caught by the inshore fishermen like, said they attack without significant safeguards with your hands behind your head. Despite their bite laziness, it is especially through this very careless fishermen with the animals often leads to fatal bites, especially since in the small fishing villages rarely antiserum to bite treatment is available. Thus, over 90% of all documented Seeschlangenbisse as accidents when catching the animals to see, most accidents are known to bite and Enhydrina schistosa Hydrophis cyanocinctus. The bite is nearly painless and the skin is broken because of the fineness of the teeth often hard to see too little bleeding occur. The poison itself, a colorless to pale yellow and viscous liquid, has a very high proportion of neurotoxins, which cause at the prey and potential attackers paralysis. These mainly include paralysis of the extremities and respiratory muscles (dyspnea) and loss of cranial nerves. Site of the bite itself causes necrosis with severe impairment to loss of the affected limb. The most important component in the venom is the Neurotomin, which is also responsible for the deaths due to respiratory or cardiac paralysis. The poison glands contain 10 to 15 milligrams of poison, already three to ten milligrams of work but deadly. However, only about a quarter of all bites goes critical, since poison does not always come into the bite wound. About five to 35 percent of those poisoned victims die from the bite. One explanation for this but relatively low mortality, the parsimony principle. It is likely that the snakes make their venom only at extremely low levels because of the poisoning of her victims (mostly fish) already sufficiently small quantities.
The first signs of paralysis in humans generally show up only after more than 30 minutes, however, it may take several hours. Initially there is a feeling of dryness in the throat and tongue paralysis, usually with nausea and vomiting. The first sign is often followed by anxiety attacks, restlessness, or euphoria. Subsequently, the extremities are numb, starting with the legs. The other is ascending paralysis and continues through the abdominal and chest muscles, and finally can only afford the diaphragmatic breathing. Until his death remains the bitten fully conscious, although an observer a sleeping impression makes. In 25% of fatalities, death occurs after 8 hours following the bite, at 50% within eight to 24 hours and the remaining 25% after up to three days. The venomous sea snake
the world is the Dubois' sea snake (Aipysurus duboisii) (of which there are no pictures on the Internet -.-), which is also behind the Inlandtaipan and the ordinary brown snake drittgiftigste snake in the world.
Whatever. The following Monday there was then 'nen confused working day, where nothing worked, because the work has indeed colleague's seminar for all the certificates would have printed, but I do not represent the only functioning printer available wanted because they were all hoechstbeschaeftigt because they started with the preparations until the day before the seminar. In the end, but thanks to my genius's has yet worked out, and everyone was happy. So go with the Filipino Way of Work.
The seminar week in Guiuan was pretty exciting. Many new dates have learned much about the government (particularly thanks to the all-explanatory Wojtek, who was also there), much rumgehampelt on the slackline, much to Theo and some confused Filipinos / Filipinas hanging out - which deserves very little sleep. My roommate got up each day at 6 on the mat, although the breakfast from 7-8 (Filipino-Time!) was available and even though he knew I each Evening fruehstens'm gone by 12 kip because I was with Theo or slacken learned Russian 'hab. So 'ne bastard. I was awakened while he of course always, silent shower was in the hotel namely Not him. Jetz 'I must sleep well or make up for nausea during working hours ...: /
And by the way: If you do not know what' is ne slackline, here 'n pieces aus'm Wikipedia article (to the pictures with the slackline, so many comments, therefore I here once you 'n give some info):
slacklining (slacklining, Slacklining) is a popular sport similar to tightrope walking, where you strap on a belt or hose balanced, which is stretched between two attachment points.
The requirements of the Slackers at the athletes are a combination of balance, concentration and coordination. Thus it is very useful as additional training for sports like climbing, skiing, martial arts, horse riding, vaulting, long boarding and other sports that require a good sense of balance
In contrast to balancing on the dance rope or rope where the rope is taut that it hardly moves a slackline stretches under the weight of the slack liner. It behaves in this very dynamic and requires a constant balancing their active self-motion. The balance point of the slack liner is thus very low. Therefore, similar the visual impression of the less upright runner or high wire artists on the dance rather than the rope slack wire artist, whose cable is also constantly moving under him, and the balance will be compensated with the legs.
Although slackliners be unwelcome as artists, there may be some Artverwandtschaft not be denied, only of the scene which creates a serious difference: Slacker comes from rock climbing and has remained for the most part there. While the artistry, the balancing on the slack wire mostly as a base or additional component for an artistic number is to be presented to an audience that slackliners operate their sport rather than an end in itself and for himself Attempting tricks primarily has the purpose to find out what is possible; slack rope typical exercises such as hand and head position, unicycling and juggling, although not proscribed disciplines at slacklining, but the slackliners understand as a group .
slacklining has thus basically re-invented themselves and is hardly a new idea.
also announced during the seminar's always sooo much gross am to eat breakfast. Namely the order ever for the 'planned' number of participants, not the 1 / 3 comes. Therefore, we have every time the opportunity for more than 3 full tasty dishes, Filipino food to eat. And every time I use containing from rock hard. Although I now feel 10 kilos heavier than a week ago, but yes - what have I bought the punching bag? : D exactly
Ah, an important thing have I forgotten!
FUCK THE RAINY SEASON IS 'AT LAST (almost) OVER!
Yes ... even the sun finally bright yellow on the lush, green grass, the fruit load, colorful trees and the fully laden, brown green coconut palms, the monotonous roaring, blue sea - and at last back on my face:]
If one's is thinking ... the sun is really a lot. I could try's during the rainy season as I wanted - so 'ne good mood like now I could hammer in during the rain and dark skies themselves. And now at war 'evil I smile whenever I am just short pieces from the house to the office by the sun run -.-
The month-long darkness up there in the north, the sun is not' rises would therefore believe nothing for me me.
Short throw: I've now nachgeguckt times, why because the sunshine is so important for my good mood. And I have discovered this most scientific side, who told me:
With the spring sun and the increased solar radiation, the spirits are aroused, it becomes more active and more balanced. In human body is triggered by sunlight a number of processes - it is as it were in euphoric mood. Mainly responsible for the ultraviolet portion is in the sunlight. Through him, formed in the skin for up to 95 percent of the need for vitamin D3. In children, it affects the growth of bones and teeth, in adults, there is a natural protection against osteoporosis. This vitamin also has a significant effect on cell growth in the body, it strengthens the immune system and can prevent diabetes and cancer.
by the sun, the hormones in luck
With the increased solar radiation is produced in the brain of the neurotransmitter serotonin, often as a happy hormone known. It provides drive, mood and impulsivity, but also for the sex drive. Sunlight also reduces the secretion of the hormone melatonin, which is responsible for skin pigmentation, but also slows the digestive and circulatory inert but.
while so 'ne-promoting pessimism page tells me that:
Basically, these positive effects, but may not be exaggerated, they do not serve a relativization of the much more serious negative effects of increased UVB exposure. can
radiation from sunlight or tanning beds, both in the UVA as well as in the UVB range of acute Symptoms to be responsible. The sunburn is known mainly caused by UVB, while sun allergies and other hypersensitivity reactions to the UVA light-share is attributed. The so-called snow blindness, acute injury to the cornea, is also a consequence of increased UVB radiation particularly prominent persons such as the skiers.
may in connection with the use of cosmetics and sunscreens UVB rays also cause photoallergic reactions.
also long-term effects of UV radiation depend essentially on dose and wavelength of the radiation as well as from the personal sensitivity. connect as principal long-term effects Skin aging, the development of skin cancer, eye diseases, and a weakening of the immune system.
But I do not care concord: I think I'll try it sometime, I organize somewhere in the sunny south so 'nen beautiful second home. So 'n Sombrero nice for diving, snorkeling, kayaking, rock climbing, and god knows what, what - for' n few months a year you need to do as an old man but just sun, I bet. And here are so many foreigners, who could rouse and then to indulge in 'n nice life in the Philippines: "Impossible is it not therefore be. And besides, I have been so many brilliant ideas for things I could build up on my little house ... and the ideas are really good, realistically speaking. These are ideas like climbing like a little forest, 's giant trampoline,' n Chillerplaetzchen On a rock and stuff. Which I hope will also appear later as well and be built up: D
Ah, and speaking of plans: the next 3 weekends have been scheduled with so horny stuff.
1st: snorkeling, while making the dive master and instructor Exploration Dives + go to 'small island, located at the (lake), snake skins and mate - and Wojtek was told that it was mating season: D
2: Dive Course Number Two (again with Klausimausi, but Chris has been able to organize any way that we can for 100 pesos the night kip auf'm dive boat: D)
3rd: Manila trip! Manila is the capital of the Philippines. And Philip (Welch pun:>) organized apparently 'ne tour of the poorest slums + river + rock climbing trip or whatever. I'm so evil coming on the weekends.
And Mom: I've already almost aufgehoert to chew nails, and I've noticed's not even right. One probably next gripping times you should not equal to bitter nail polish, and gloves if you want to wean your children anything. This promotes mostly just rebellious behavior, or not '? : P And to all
Readers: on my Picasa account new pictures can be admired! That's
was then again. I have poured my heart and everything written down, what happened to me in the office in recent days by the head. If you want to have more, you must either wait again 'for quite a while, or just write to me personally. Ciaociao!
