numerous (not-so)vital facts of life can be discovered once you accompany a rural health midwife (in my case, nanay) in the quarterly vitamins distribution in her area of assignment.
1. the government, or perhaps the local government of dasmarinas, distributes abundant supplies of vitamins and deworming tablets and other types of vitamin supplement for FREE. unfortunately, the people are not well informed on their availability.
2. there are children (ages 5-10years) that get offended on the issue of weight. don't EVER tell them that they're "healthy" or else they'll go berserk.
3. the phobia brought about by the excruciation process of vaccination is very DESTRUCTIVE to the auditory nerves.
4. never underestimate the dugyot kids who look like they haven't took a bath for days and seems to have been under the sun three days straight. they can do math better than a 22 -year old.
5. perhaps to cloak their impoverishment, poor people are either extremely timid or downright arrogant.
6. with the pressing food supply problem, the lines in the NFA rice stalls and bilihang bayans were able to singlehandedly beat the lines of the last harry potter movie. this is a manifestation of the REALITY of food shortage now.
7. some parents admire showbiz people so much that they actually name their spawns after some of them. and they don't just adopt their first names, the parents have the ENTIRE name (surname, if there is any, included) registered! (ex. Keith Martin *insert parent surname*, Kurt Russell *insert parent surname*)
8. half of the reason of population explosion in the country is teen pregnancy.
9. to measure the weight of a screeching child, have one of his/her parents or guardian to carry him/her and take their weight together. then weigh the parent or guardian without the wallowing kid. afterwards, subtract the second figure from the first. the result is the weight of the crybaby. can't believed i actually discussed math in my blog!ha!
10. some parents are more concerned of their poker game than their own children's birth dates.
11. TV is mostly left on (and sometimes the DVD player as well) even if the entire household is OUTSIDE their house. we don't want to die of global warming and climate change, do we?
