Hi,

 

 I am sending you the attachment to one of the world's most unique and deeply inspiring experiences for art and garden lovers of all ages created by Bruno Torfs at Marysville Victoria .

 

On Saturday February 7th, the raging fires in Victoria completely destroyed his unique forest creation taking over 300 paintings and scuptures.

 

As you take a walk through the forest on the attachment herein, please take a moment to reflect on the beauty gone and the many people who have lost their homes, their loved ones, their livelihoods, the severely injured, the animal life and the dedicated firefighters, police, civilians, and those involved in caring for the traumatized and injured.

When real men shop, they go for the kill By Dave Barry I can't shop with my wife. The problem is that she almost never has a clear objective. I ALWAYS have a clear objective. Without a clear objective, you're just wandering randomly around a store, which is NOT the point of shopping. This is not just my opinion: This is the opinion of literally thousands of Nobel Prize-winning scientists whose names are available upon request. These scientists have traced the origins of shopping back to prehistoric times, when "shopping" was called "hunting," and primitive man would make out his "shopping list" by drawing, on his cave wall, a picture of his objective, usually a large wad of meat in the form of, say, a yak. He would then go out into the wild, locate his objective, and make the "purchase" by whomping the yak on the head with a club. This primitive shopper did not dilly-dally. He did not ask whether the yak was on sale. He did not try to accessorize the yak. He did not summon his primitive men friends and ask them if they thought the yak made his hips look big. No, he just WHOMPED THE YAK, and then he dragged it home, stopping only to whomp the primitive sales guys who appeared out of nowhere and tried to force him to purchase the service agreement. This is the biological basis for shopping. And this is why, even today, most men, when they shop, are yak-whompers. They do not wander: They go straight for the kill. I know I do. When I enter a store, I have a definite, practical, no-nonsense objective in mind, which is to locate, and secure, an electronic gizmo that I already have, except the new one has more features. For example, recently, in a surgical shopping strike so blindingly fast you would need slow-motion replay to even see it, I located and secured a new cell phone that, in addition to being a phone, receives e-mail AND takes extremely low-quality photographs. It has changed my life. Now, when I'm not using my phone's cell-phone feature ("Hello? Hello? Hello?") I can use the camera feature to record precious moments that I can share with others. ("Here's a picture of my daughter's ballet recital. Or, the Grand Canyon.") And thanks to my phone's e-mail feature, even when I'm away from my computer, I can receive the literally hundreds of urgent messages I receive every day from people wishing to enhance my manhood. My wife did not understand why I needed this phone. Yet every guy I show it to immediately agrees that it is a vital necessity. I have a friend named Robert who has a similar phone, and recently we discovered that, theoretically, I could "beam" my address and phone number from my phone to his phone THROUGH THE AIR. I say "theoretically" because we could not get it to actually work, although we spent a good 10 minutes standing about a foot apart, pointing our phones at each other and fruitlessly pressing buttons. Several women watched this with some amusement; they suggested that - - get this -- it might be quicker for me to just TELL Robert my address and phone number, which would have represented a wanton and reckless disregard on our part for the beaming feature. These women also suggested that we look at our owner's manuals, which of course is out of the question. For a guy, reading the manual is tantamount to admitting that, manhoodwise, you are in the hamster category. But my point is that I acquired this phone via the standard guy method: in a bold, decisive, lightning-quick stroke. You're in; you're out; you're done! (I'm talking about shopping here.) Whereas my wife, when she gets inside a store, routinely takes astoundingly long periods of time to accomplish, essentially, nothing. She just shops! With no objective! She can spend what feels like days just looking at -- without actually purchasing -- stationery. She's always in the market for stationery because she's always writing notes to her women friends, who are always writing notes back to her thanking her for her note, which causes HER to write back to THEM, and so on. So I can't go shopping with her. It makes me crazy. If I needed stationery, bang, I would grab some stationery and get the hell out of there. Of course I don't need stationery, because, as a guy, I never write notes. If I ever had a message for one of my friends, I would just beam it to him. Or I will, once I have mastered that feature.

Hello All,
Below are emails I've received regarding the daughter of Bro Dave Allan Zuniga Bravo (a DeMolay brod from T R Yangco Chapter Olongapo City), Ms Maxine Bravo.
Please include her in your prayers. She is still in hospital as per our Bro Netoy Domingo, another senior DeMolay from TRY. I am sure those of you who are parents can relate to this tragic and sad experience of Bro Allan and Sis Lucy and their two other daughters.

Regards and thanks,
Bro Mario

"Just this past Thursday, Maxine was admitted to the hospital due to a sudden seizure. Since then, she has been in and out of silent to mild seizures.
The doctors so far have told us it's inflammation of the brain. Basically like an earthquake going off in her head. So the doctors are searching for the epicenter of it all.
At times she will get lost in her own world, but she always comes back. She is having trouble doing simple things and is need of constant attention by either a nurse or her mom who is always at her side.
Her family has not lost sight of their faith in this time. They are continuously prayerful and hopeful to see a full recovery.
The most current update is great news. She is responding very well to her treatment and her family sees improvement each day.
Maxine still has a long road of recovery ahead of her. She is re-learning a lot of simple skills- minor to major everyday to day habits- only because of the overwhelming amount of stuff her body has been through. Therapy will definitely be a part of her road to recovery in all of this.
The news comes as a big shock for many, but be aware that Maxine is healing each day and will return back to her healthy-self in no time. It is always comforting and encouraging seeing Maxine smile and crack jokes even through this time. Maxine is a strong woman of faith and she will fight through this sickness.
Her family thanks all of you for your thoughts and prayers, so let us all continue to pray- for her recovery, for the hands of the doctors so that they may work to the best of their ability, and for her family. Obviously from the recent progress Maxine is making, prayers are being answered.
I will continue to inform you of Maxine's progress with updated posts.
God Bless!"

Subject: Update

Punta ako after work sa hospital to visit Maxine, Allan's daughter. Nasa status quo pa rin ang lagay niya. Unfortunately, she's still having seizures. Kanina lang noong nandoon ako, she had another one for about 20 minutes. Ibig sabihin nito, hindi pa rin nagagamot ang cause. They are still running tests to find out kung anong klaseng virus. May nakita na silang isa pero gusto pa ng mga doctors na i-confirm ito. Another unfortunate development ay ang pagkakaroon niya ng pneumonia.

Sometimes though she opens her eyes and then looks at you. Sabi ni Lucy, paminsan-minsan daw nagsasalita pero mabagal pa rin ang processing ng information. This definitely is brought about by the seizures. Imagine, ang utak ang involved dito.

This is going to be a long recovery process. Accepted na nila Allan ito. Sabi nga ni Lucy, minsan daw umiiyak na lang si Allan sa awa sa anak niya. Napakalambing daw kasi nito sa ama. Maski nga ako nangingilid ang luha feeling for Allan and Lucy kasi naman napaka-ideal ang turingan ng pamilya. Makikita mo talaga sa kanila ang pagiging isang pamilya.

Ga-graduate din bukas ang bunso ni Allan from high school. Instead nga na happy occasion para sa kanila, it will be a subdued one. Sabi nga ni Allan, baka daw magpunta na lang sila sa isang restaurant near the hospital after the graduation para naman may celebration kahit na papaano.

This is the update for now. It will be an uphill battle pero I am sure a battle that Allan, Lucy and the kids are willing to fight. Let us just continue on praying for them.
