Glowing RocKs

I know this title  may sound boring to you. Anyways, Joanne asked me to write an article about this and since I'm in the mood and quite fascinated by it. I did some research on it and decided to educate us more about Rocks. I hope I won't sidetrack as I go along with this topic and I hope that you guys will enjoy.. be prepared to be fascinated!

Bach when I was a kid I saw this Filipino Movie it was a story about a guy who loves collecting rocks. He was fascinated by it's form, colors and characteristics.That he even collected big rocks.. actually big rocks. I always thought Filipino Movies were corny but as I grew up I soon then got introduced to this kind of hobby. Rock collecting, its dangerous but really fun and educating. 


There are actually different kinds of rocks and I'm sure some of you still remember things about sedimentary rocks etc.the  things we learn in school.

Metamorphic,igneous or sedimentary  rocks are Older Rocks they are changed by great heat and pressure. The reason why most rocks found beneath the earth's surface makes crystals in the rock is because of the heat and pressure beneath the earth. Theoretically speaking if A rock  already has crystals in it the crystals become bigger and larger.

The best way to define a rock (before I talk about how rocks glow and become luminous)  is that it is an indefinite mixture of naturally occurring substances, mainly minerals. The reason why we should know about this is because the term Rock Collection is usually misused for mineral collection. Although a few people collect rocks the amount of people collecting minerals is much greater and why???... well its because Minerals are an economic commodity, there are about 3,000 different types of minerals and new ones are constantly discovered.In general, the only people interested in rocks are geologists and paleontologist but nowadays it's a hobby. A rock containing flourescent minerals is expensive... and i'll let you know later how to identify one and how to find one!!

There are several ways wherein  minerals can emit light.

1. Florescence - The light from ultraviolet lamps reacts with the chemicals ofa mineral and causes the mineral to glow.
2. Phospherescence - If the mineral continues to glow after the light has been removed.
3. Thermoluminescence - If the mineral glows when heated
4. Triboluminescence - If the minerals glow after they are stuck or crushed.

I will be talking about Flourescent Minerals which are minerals that emit a visible light when activated by ultraviolet light which is long wave... the black light. You would notice black lights used in bars or clubs. I was amazed by it when Joanne showed me one. anyways, Collecting flourescent minerals is a popular hobby and if you are an experienced collector of rocks im sure you use Flourescence for identification purposes. It is actually a viable prospecting technique. So for now u need a UV light you know those things they use to check whether a money is fake or not. You could actually buy one if you want to try this hobby don't forget your chisel you might need one... okay moving on.

Tenebrescent is when the rock changes into a different color when exposed to a Uv light. Short Uv light may be blinding so I rather you choose long UV light.
The following are flourescent minerals which glow in UVlight. You could click on the links I have at the bottom of this article to see how it looks like... it's cool and amazing.

BENITOITE ,SCHEELITE ,WILLEMITE,CALCITE,FRANKLINITE ,ADAMITE ,FLUORITE
SODALITE ,HARDYSTONITE ,SCAPOLITE ,GYPSUM ,ZIPPEITE


Unfortunately I wasn't able to find an article about places you go to here in the Philippines to be able to find one. I believe though that there are lots of places here in Benguet and Mt Province, you could also find rocks like this in deep water inlets. If you would really like to try this hobby first you have to be fascinated by it passion comes in through fascination.  The reason I say its dangerous is because sometimes you really have to look into caves and take the risk although its dark. But I'm sure it would really be rewarding to find one. I remember when I was a  kid we always get fascinated with rocks that are really different, how I wish I knew about this before. Anyways, here's a hint I found upon researching on this. Handheld UV lamps run on 12 volt DC, or direct current. In practical terms this means one of the filaments in the tube will wear out before the other. If you reverse the tube when the output begins to dim, you can extend its life.

In Greenland you would really find a lot of rocks like this with different kinds of minerals. There are also organizations in the states that share their collections with kids.

If ever Joanne would think of pursuing this kind of hobby I would suggest she put all her collections in a museum. Instead of selling it. Rocks are so relaxing the reason why they put lots of rocks in spas etc. Just imagine a museum full of Uv lights,,, that would be COOL too...

"Baguio, Basura?"

Another thought.. So now I'm in the mood to write. I read an article yesterday on Midland about a person who's struggling to find a job. In the United States, although you're not a college graduate still~you could find a job that will help you with your day to day life. You can actually have a car or have your own house. If you don't have a job you could apply for something wherein the government would give you money to support your needs,as soon as you find a job they would subtract the  money which at least  helped you from your paycheck... still fair....

In the Philippines if your college graduate still you'll be having troubles finding a job. You could have a job but it would only support your day to day expenses like food and clothing, school and yeah a little purchase of entertainment.. According to studies Baguio City is the center of education  here in the Philippines the reason why most students chose to study here in here Baguio. i think that that it's mainly because of One thing the weather!!.But Baguio Nowadays is turning out to be the "Basura City" daw and yeah I noticed that to. Just to inform y'all the government spends a lot of Millions to dispose Baguio's Garbage/waste but still we see a lot of garbage along sidewalks sometimes near people's houses (enough reason to connote how disorganized these people are). Their reason..." eh kasi hinihintay pa namin mag cocollect ng basura" which is true. Garbage Collectors come to collect once a week most of the time and we read a lot of articles every week saying they spend millions????.... where's the money going then. Graft and Corruption not only happens here in the Philippines but also in other Countries, but still the Philippines is well known for this. Nostradamus even had a prediction about Marcos to be a corrupt and that he's fall would awaken a lot of people (Philippine Revolution). After the Philippine Revolution a lot of countries emulated to revolution because of our revolution, thinking they would outhrow their government  but failed. The reason why most intellectual people really yield to Cory and Ninoy Aquino. I remember my professor once said "Cory NEVER lies".. "Arroyo always Lies"... after Marcos we woke up... should we wake ourselves up again?. I remember a Caller of mine once said (when I use to work at callcenter ) that we are the goverment change starts with us. If we can't change something that's been there then we should do something that would help ourselves.

I think in politics truth is only relative. Remember the Ah1n1 threat? , the media was so busy giving us numbers about how many people died and how many people show symptons of this kind of illness. We were all so busy worrying about how to fight it etc. I remember Joanne and I even made a Flyer to advertise Rubix but most importantly to inform the public on how to avoid it... naks!... University of Cordillera's copied our Flyer Lay out... whata copy cat... btw that was my school.. I'm not sourgraping anyways.. before i sidetrack again from my topic. What was the government during that time... they controlled the media and took advantage of the time to talk about Charter Change I guess... I don't like CharterChange.. why well because the Law yields to us Women and changing it might change everything. Clearly, still men understimate the women's power. I'm just so glad Cris my friend did not end up working as a full time housewife. I'm glad she used what she learned in school. I once said to myself that as soon as I become a Lawyer upon winning my 6th case in court.I will run for a Councilor Position. Still I want to be an employee of the government but not an official anymore.

 Right now we are all part of the government, I don't think being an activist is one of my purpose. Im just saying.... if we are all part of the government could someone speak for my thoughts. Were did you hide the money? okay let me paraphrase this just so it sounds better... Where did you allot the garbage money??... it would have helped this college graduate who could't find a job...instead just decided to write an article on Midland :( ... tsk tsk tsk.

:~~ Random Thoughts~~:

I never wanted to leave the Philippines I know there's still hope here.. China a 3rd world country has a fast growing economy.  The reason why I took up Law was because I wanted to make a difference yeah I had high hopes before , but I guess It will be all words for now... anyways the Universe will Provide.  I hope I'm making sense here.

Movies Blog

Movies... along time ago when I had enough time on my hands to write about movie reviews, I blog about movies that moved me.. movies that I like.  Well Before, I wasn't that particular with the Title of the Movies that I watch or movies that I like..It was until I got turned down for an interview at SM, I remember it was a Cd Movies shop and I was a fresh graduate applying for a Managerial Position. Anyways to sum everything up I got turned down because of these questions. What was the last movie that you watched? and What latest movie strucked you the most?. I guess I panicked that time instead I just said Passion of the Christ. ( because I love that movie )... My application was declined.anyways I think it was okay because I was able to identify  the better choices I could make for myself. After the interview I soon found out that my friend who's actually pretty, and competed for Ms Baguio title won ,,, i mean got the position. Haha!.. the interviewer should have told me that the position was like a beauty contest, in that way, I would have just walked out of that shop...

I don't like beauty contests, I just find it lame.. specially nowadays because anyone could be pretty due to plastic surgeries etc... as long as you have the money. Yeah I watch a bit of beauty contests, but, after the Modelling PartS, where each contestant chosen has to answer a question. Why ?? well it's because It's still nice to see a pretty face that makes sense. ( I hope I don't sound bitter) The shop is still there.. and as a tribute to that experience here goes my reviews.


I really hate it everytime I type a lot of things in my blog and eventually it times out on me :( anyways, right afer these paragraphs. I actually typed a lot of movie reviews yesterday,,,which was totally a waste of time. So now I have to do it all over again.

AuGust RusH - The most fascinating part for me was Freddie Highmore's display of talent in plucking guitar strings. I watched this movie with the whole family and my mom as usual liked this movie too.This movie struck me not because... I love music and because this movie displayed a lot of musical talents but because of the last phrase.

"All you have  to do is listen..".Freddie Highmore in this movie eversince, wanted to be reunited with his parents.

I feel so lazy doing this all over again.But to be a writer you should never quit, no matter how dreadful the oppression is. WTF! I actually typed in  long paragraphs for all my movie reviews, I just hope blogger saved it in my drafts... Maybe I'll do this some other time.

By the way. The name of my band, back when I still use to sing was "A Rush"..I don't know how Kubong Sawali's manager came up with name well he just said that.... since Ariel's name  (my guitarist)  starts with a letter "A"  and my name as well, we should be named "A Rush" ... after few years this movie was released and how i wished we could have continued playing and singing acoustic songs . I would have been famous I guess. I'm Dreaming again... and like i said "Should have, Would have and Could have + if's (for past tense ) are the last words of a FOOL"

Okay now let me just tell you about what happened to my Christmas. I went home and spent it with my Family. We attended a mass at Convention Center and it was like a candlelight mass really (what a wonderful experience). I actually texted uncle ralph to check if Joanne and her mom could make it, , but they were both sleeping. I slept at home and my dad was asking me to sleep beside them, but I refused not because I don't want to be confronted but because I was having a heart to heart talk with Arra.


New Year was also fun, but I think Joanne and her mom didn't enjoy it quite well. They spent their new year at my place, I can't wait to post the videos.I love fireworks! and there's this place near our house were you could view all the fireworks... it was really awesome. I know Joanne have seen better fireworks when she was in the states, still I hope she enjoyed it.

Last week I watched Julie and Julia Project and so now ... since I don't know what to do so far. I want to do something with this blog. I read the book secret last last year and tried to apply it but I guess since I get a lot distractions, I've been attracting the things that I don't want Instead of the things that I want. There's this book I'm reading now entitled the "Law of Attraction". With the help of Joanne's Ideas, I want to do 1 year countdown and apply it. Well just  see what happens with that. Let's face it I easily get distracted, I was getting high grades in Law School but allowed myself to get distracted when I started going out with Joanne. She tried to give me space but still, since I havent been in a relationship for so long ... I got carried away too much.. and now I have to stop schooling to get my focus back, help her.. and find a real job, to support my studies.


"Life is a matter of choice there are no accidents, just choices, there is no such thing as opportunity and luck, the only time opportunity comes in is when you do  mistakes, mistakes gives you an opportunity to learn from a  mistake, a mistake done twice is okay but a mistake if committed for the third time is stupidity, still an opportunity though, There is no such thing as Luck, we should consider ourselves lucky now because we all have a lot of choices, If we choose to be a Stock Trader we could do that if we study hard, If we choose to be a lawyer we could all be one, the universe will provide and will conspire with a person who has a strong desire for something (thanks to my favorite author Antoine Saint Exupery) " --- Aice D.

It's my choice  to be in a relationship and to achieve my dream. So clearly, I have to think of a way to get my focus in order to deal with my choice, anyways Joanne has always been so understanding.

Last week we started attending Brahma Kumaris and I really learned a lot. According to Sis Marielle. The Soul is at the center of our forehead and if we are the kind of person who's full of anger, ego, greed, attachment and lust, we could fight this by focusing on what our soul inherently has. Naturally a person is full of peace,purity,power,knowledge/wisdom,love,mercy and happiness. We just tend to forget it... the reason why it is really important for us to meditate this gives us a chance to let our body connect with our soul and let our soul take charge. I still need to know a lot of things and I can't wait to apply this with the law of attraction. But since we always sleep around 3am we tend to wake up late and end up accomplishing few things :( ... change aice change!


Every New Year we hear people talk about their New Year's resolution etc. Some people say they have to start thinking positive or they have to change their ways, they have to quit smoking or they have to manage their anger etc. You know all these could be sum up in just 3 words. So mine would be "MAKE GOOD CHOICES".
Why? because If you think good, you act good then you'll feel good. Same thing as changing,quitting something etc. blah.. blah.. blah.. , I know I talk too much again. I still have to finish the book and find a countdown widget for my blog to start my own project,I hope y'all support... whoever's listening... are you???

BTW... melai said I should not put stuffs about her in my blog so starting from now on her nickname is "M". ha-ha ... geez she can't sue me plus ... I say good stuffs always all okay stuffs... and if I say something it's just my way of letting it all out. Like what I said about red. I still hope Joanne would hang out with her friends  it's true, they're there if you want to have fun, still I know they supported her before and she has to think about that do. I'm just so glad melai,cris, donna, joan and leonor (kahit wala madalas) are still there everytime you need someone to talk to. I would have not been like this without them. I love being Me!

Love y'all....
