Prase se peče
26/5/2018
Poslední noc v El Nidu byla paradoxně asi tou nejhorší za celý pobyt. Elektrika opět vypadla a k obnovení dodávek došlo až kolem osmé hodiny ranní. Ale nepředbíhejme a vraťme se k úplnému začátku dne. Od rána je v parku veselo. Selátko, které tu strávilo jedno odpoledne, už se peče na po domácku vyrobené rožni propíchnuté dřevěným kůlem, jímž otáčí jeden z místních maníků. Holčičky pobíhají za zády maníka a vesele uklízejí svinčík kolem stromu, kde zanedlouho vyroste provizorní domeček na hraní. Hned nás napadá, že pořádek děti musí znát a očividně pořádek i někde musí být, ale na společných prostranstvích to nebude. S veřejnými prostory zacházejí Filipínci nejspíš stejně jako my Češi za dob komunismu (někteří z nás doteď), tedy co je všech, není ničí a tím pádem tam můžu zahodit, co se mi zamane, nebo spíš znelíbí. Park, smetiště, dětské hřiště, drobná dílna opraváře harpun, veřejný záchod a teď i kuchyně v jednom je jedním z nejnavštěvovanějších míst městečka a každý si tu najde to své. I my jsme si park „zamilovali“ a každý den vydržíme někdy i několik hodin čučet z balkónu našeho ubytování na multifunkční plácek, sami ale o návštěvě nepřemýšlíme. Dcera recepční s jakýmsi monoklem u oka s přezdívkou Pavlov (stejně jako Pavlovovi psi se každý den vrací k našim dveřím, aby dostala pamlsek) dnes taky vyrazila na hřiště a společně s ostatními dětmi nás zdraví na balkón. Stejně jako my pozorujeme dění tam dole, tak místní pozorují nás, tam nahoře, princip zoo tak funguje na obou stranách. Těžko říct, kdo má koho za většího podivína. Představa pěti dospělých cizinců sedících na balkóně a pozorujících pro místní absolutně nezáživné aktivity se musí zdát i malým dětem nadmíru podivná, vezmou-li pak v úvahu, že kvůli tomu letíme přes půlku světa, je pak víc než bláznivá. Prase se peče a stejně jako to prase se pečeme i my, jen ve vlastní šťávě, a tak vyrážíme na pláž. Pro dnešek volíme opět Marimegmeg, jelikož věříme, že právě tady je výskyt písečných mušek nejmenší. Moje boláky ne a ne zmizet, naopak některé z bílých čepic pomalu ale jistě vytékají ven ve formě krystalků barvy třtinového cukru. Pro dnešek raději zůstávám ve stínu, abych se nestala lidským dalmatinem s desítkami bílých teček na opálených nohách. Na rozdíl od ostatních, kteří se koupou vcelku pravidelně, do moře vlezu jen jednou, spíš abych se rozloučila s mořem samotným, Líba na moře prdí a zůstává celý den na souši. Nakoupení jsme až až a v moři prý stejně řádí medúza. Kolem páté se pakujeme z našeho místa u baru The Beach Shack, naposledy procházíme kolem čisťounkého moře krásné modrozelené barvy a vracíme se po strmých schodech zpátky na hlavní. Cestou ulovíme několik perel (do uší) a s hezkými dárky odjíždíme domů. Tříkolka je i teď s benzínem na štíru, a tak zastavujeme u podomního prodejce benzínu, který s cigaretou v puse sedí u kanystru s benzínem a kasíruje řidiče za prodej černého zlata. Bezpečnost práce je tu nulová a je až ku podivu, že se nikomu nikdy nic nestane. Elektrikáři šplhají po drátech v žabkách, technická automobilů neexistuje, cigaretu si tu neodpustí ani u benzínky a tak dále a tak dále, výčet pro nás nestandardních aktivit tu leze do tisíce. Tříkolka nás v pořádku odváží zpátky do víru „velkoměsta“ a vyhazuje nás u oblíbené pekárny, kde se nám naskytne pohled na gigantickou pekařskou pec s kily sladkých dobrot uvnitř. Samozřejmě nákupu neodoláme a odnášíme si pár dobrot v papírových pytlících na pokoj. Naposledy ukuchtíme něco dobrého k snědku u plynového vařiče a přesouváme se do horního patra na partičku UNA. Poslední kolo karet dohrajeme za svitu pohotovostního světla, protože i dnes se El Nidu nevyhne výpadek elektřiny. V parnu se nespí nejlíp, ale prášky na spaní v podobě karibského rumu zaberou, a tak stejně brzo usnu. Holky střídají vyhřátý balkón a vychlazenou ložnici, taťka spí a Líba se dívá na šílenou francouzskou komedii Rrrrr. The end.
Fish & chips v baru The Beach Shack: 260 PHP
Pesto pasta: 200 PHP
Jahodové daiqiry: 220 PHP
8 vajec a sladké v pekárně: 99 PHP

MTVS Epic Rewatch #189
BTVS 7x08 Sleeper
Obligatory soundtrack: Early One Morning - Pavlov’s Bell
Stray thoughts
1) If the fact that Spike was feeding and turning people wasn’t enough of a clue that something was amiss, then him humming a lullaby while digging graves most certainly was.
2) I love that whenever we hear a British man speaking in this show we immediately know he’s a watcher. Side note, this watcher was totally shacking up with his slayer, right?
3) Okay, so Dawn told Willow all about seeing “Joyce” but she didn’t disclose Joyce’s warning about Buffy. Willow then proceeds to tell her that she’d seen someone, too, but it was the Big Bad. Dawn, understandably, convinces herself that Joyce couldn’t have been an evil manifestation. I get why her first reaction is to believe she’d seen her mom. She’s a kid who’s had a rough two years, whose mom died suddenly, who was almost sacrificed to open up a portal to a hell dimension, whose sister killed herself shortly after, and who spent hours in a bedroom with the body of her stand-in mom before anyone came to check on either of them. Joyce represents the normalcy and stability her life is lacking, so it’s absolutely understandable she’s so eager to believe she’s seen her mom. What I don’t get is why – other than because it suited the writers’ purpose – she didn’t talk about this with Buffy (even if she didn’t feel like opening up about the actual warning...) and why it was never brought up again (that I remember, at least.) I’ve talked about this in my previous recap, but I must hand it to The First, it played its cards right by manipulating Dawn. She was the only one who 100% bought the lies, and the fact that she didn’t discuss this any further – especially not with Buffy – and that she kept believing her “mom”’s warning all along had far-reaching consequences. Dawn was probably the only character not mature enough to realize she was being duped. Joyce/The First warned Dawn that “when it's bad, Buffy won't choose you. She'll be against you.” Not only does this warning foreshadow what will come to happen in Empty Places, but it is the precise reason why that happens, except that the roles are reserved: when things get bad, Dawn won’t choose Buffy, she’ll be against her…
4) I do appreciate that Xander truly tries to be objective here and to see things from a purely rational perspective. It’s a very nice change of pace from his “slay first, ask questions later approach”, and it is in fact exactly what Buffy needed. Emotionally, she can’t bring herself to believe Spike’d be able to be killing people while having a soul. I think the church scene from Beneath You is what drives Buffy to believe having a soul has truly changed him. Of course, she’s letting herself be driven by her emotions (which, btw, we know are her strength…) So it was necessary for her to hear the voice of reason. And I’m grateful for the fact that Xander was actually written as a reasonable voice of reason - unlike what they did with his speech to Buffy in Into the Woods… where we were supposed to buy into what he was saying (he didn’t even have all the fact!) and take his word as the voice of reason.
*gets herself angry at remembering Into the Woods*
*breathes furiously*
*tries to calm self down*
*watches videos of puppies*
*resumes writing*
Anywho, this is their exchange in this episode:
XANDER Why would a vampire lie about who sired him. What's that? Some kind of status symbol for the undead. My sire can beat up your sire. (sits)
BUFFY I'm not saying I don't believe him.
XANDER You just don't want to. OK, let's look at this objectively. Figure it out in a cold, impersonal, CSI-like manner 'cause we're a couple of carpet fibers away from a case.
BUFFY Spike can't be the one doing this. He couldn't if he wanted to.
XANDER Why not?
BUFFY Well, for one thing, pain chip, remember? He can't hurt anyone.
XANDER Didn't stop him from hurting you. Hey, objective here. Maybe the chip's not working anymore.
BUFFY Oh, it's working. I've seen it.
XANDER Is it? Or is that what Spike wants you to think?
BUFFY You think it's an act?
XANDER I don't really know. And neither do you.
BUFFY No, mm-mmm. There's something. I-I can feel it. He's different. He's changed. And, if it is an act, then the Oscar goes to...
I just appreciate the fact that he was trying to help Buffy see the situation from every angle, instead of taking a stand and only viewing the evidence that would support her belief.
5) These two truly had a very lively sex life…
XANDER You're gonna be fine.
ANYA Better be, because if I get vamped, I'm gonna bite your ass.
XANDER Wouldn't be the first time.
ANYA What was that?
6) And this is exactly why they should’ve talked to Dawn more about the whole seeing Joyce thing…
WILLOW Buffy, this thing knows us. It made us think that we were talking to people we knew. Mine said it came with a message from Tara. But Dawn actually saw... your Mother. This thing—it had me for a while—I mean, before it started letting loose with the pulse-pounding terror. But before that, the lies were very convincing. It just seems real.
BUFFY Lies.
WILLOW I mean maybe—maybe to confuse us, to mess us up. Or maybe just to be cool.
Unfortunately, Buffy was too concerned with the urgent issue of a potential serial killer vampire on the loose to take the time to talk to her sister. She should have done it, though. I mean, even if she assumed Dawn had understood what she’d seen wasn’t real, Buffy should’ve known that seeing Joyce again, even if it was a fake Joyce, probably had messed her up. I think that Buffy not approaching Dawn about this probably fed Dawn’s belief that she’d seen the real Joyce.
7) Sweet Jebus, this man…
8) Bless Anya.
SPIKE Anya, do be specific and tell a fellow just exactly what you're doing here.
ANYA Well, Spike... I'm here, obviously... for...um...sex.
SPIKE Uh, beg pardon.
ANYA You and me. Here and now. Let's go. Let's... get it on, you big bad boy.
SPIKE Wait, wait, Anya. Just a minute. This is not exactly—is that a stake?
ANYA Yes. Kinky.
SPIKE Uh, well, yeah, but what do you—?
ANYA Shh. No questions. No talking. I can't help it. I can't stop thinking about you and us and our brief but unforgettable time together. I mean, it's—why else would I be here? I mean, it's not like I'm snooping around looking for proof that you're some sort of wacked out serial killer. I don't know why I said that. Forget I said that. It's craziness talking. It's just nerves. Nerves. Nerves and-and horniness. Oh, just shut up, William, and take me. Take me now.
I think... I think she looks kind of riled up and disappointed he didn’t take her up on her offer?
9) Where do all this people come from? This street has never been this crowded! Sunnydale doesn’t have that big of a population!
SERIOUSLY!!!
Like, I get it, they needed the streets to be super crowded so that it would be believable for Buffy to lose track of Spike, but THIS IS NOT BELIEVABLE! A) My point above and B) any citizen of Sunydale who isn’t as dumb as a brick won’t go out at night!!!
10) Awww, Buffy woke him up by throwing him across the room just like in the old days…
11) I had to stop writing during this scene, I was simply enthralled by James’ delivery of each of his lines. I truly don’t think Spike would’ve been a redeemable character if it hadn’t been for James’ portrayal. He brings so much emotion into every word and every gesture, and it truly makes you feel for the character. Well, unless you hate Spike, of course.
SPIKE Well, I certainly didn't off her. Where are you getting this? (grabs a shirt) You know I can't.
BUFFY Right. The chip.
SPIKE No, not the chip! Not the chip, dammit. You honestly think I'd go to the end of the underworld and back to get my soul and then— Buffy, I can barely live with what I did. It haunts me. All of it. If you think that I would add to the body count now, you are crazy.
SPIKE Yeah, I talk to people. Women. Talk to them 'cause I can't talk to you.
BUFFY Oh, Spike, save it.
SPIKE As daft a notion as "Soulful Spike the Killer" is, it is nothing compared to the idea that another girl could mean anything to me. This chip—they did to me. I couldn't help it. But the soul, I got on my own—for you.
BUFFY I know.
SPIKE So, yeah. I go and pass the time... with someone. But that's all it is is time, 'cause—God, help me, Buffy—it's still all about you.
12) FYI, If you don’t remember what you’ve done the night before, that’s a BIG FAT warning sign.
13) I get that Willow’s line is meant to feed Dawn’s belief that she did, in fact, talk to Joyce, but this just doesn’t make any sense?????
DAWN You only think Spike is turning people 'cause that vampire told you so, right? But that night we were all told things that weren't true.
WILLOW Maybe.
DAWN What? What maybe.
WILLOW Well, just because those weren't the spirits of, you know, our people—just because it was some evil thing, doesn't mean what they said can't be true.
Like, why would the Big Bad disclose information that might actually help them????
14) The music choice for this episode is so absolutely perfect, I mean, Pavlov’s Bell? Accurate AF.
15) She’s a quick learner, right?
YOUNG WOMAN Huh. I get it. You'd rather I slip into something more comfortable. Should we pick off the crowd one-by-one, or block the exits and ravish the place?
SPIKE Get away from me.
YOUNG WOMAN What's with the wallflower act? You didn't seem so shy when you were biting me. I'm not asking if you wanna be soul mates, just figured you'd wanna have some fun. I take him, you take her—or the other way around. Whatever.
I love how this scene is reminiscent of Spike and Drusilla prowling the Bronze in Crush, except this time Spike does not want to play.
16) This fucking show.
YOUNG WOMAN Is that all I was to you—a one-bite stand?
17) I swear to god. THIS. FUCKING. SHOW.
18)
BUFFY Oh, uh, actually, I need some help. I'm looking for this guy. Bleach-blonde hair, leather jacket, British accent? Kind of sallow, but in a hot way?
BOUNCER Yeah, yeah, I know the guy. Billy Idol wannabe?
BUFFY Actually, Billy Idol stole his look from—never mind. Has he been here?
19) This. Fucking. Show.
AIMEE MANN Man, I hate playing vampire towns
I just love the fact that she uses the plural, “towns” like she’s fucking aware Sunnydale is not the only town infested with vampires.
It’s so amazing to see a regular someone supposedly not in the know – after 7 freaking seasons! – acknowledge the supernatural because even though it’s a staple of the genre that people are ignorant of the paranormal or choose to find more “rational” explanations for every odd occurrence, sometimes they just end up looking very dumb.
20) And this is why The First was kind of a dumb Big Bad, like, how couldn’t he have known that tasting Buffy would have the opposite effect on Spike?
21) It’s really heartbreaking that Spike not only assumes that Buffy is going to stake him but he welcomes it, I think he wants the pain to end and wants an easy way out from the things he’s done (that’s why he pleads for her - or it? - to “make him forget”)
22) Buffy reads the situation right, though. She understands that someone or something has been using Spike as a puppet and that killing him won’t really accomplish anything other than doing exactly what it wants them to do.
23) I gotta admit, I’d be Xander in this situation…
BUFFY You didn't see him down there. He really didn't know what he'd done. It wasn't in his control.
XANDER Oh, an out of control serial killer. You're right, that is a great houseguest.
24) I love how they’re talking as if he was deaf or not there, and he’s obviously listening to every single word they're saying. HE IS SITTING RIGHT THERE FOR FUCK’S SAKE!!!
Sorry, I just hate when they do that on shows or movies, okay?
25) Cliffhanger! IS GILES DEAD! DUN-DUN-DUNNNN!
There’s no fucking way Giles would’ve survived that, okay? I mean, I’m glad he’s alive, but they probably should’ve faded to black BEFORE the axe was about to chop his head off. Just seeing the demon brandishing the axe would’ve done the trick, and then it wouldn’t have felt as they were retconning the scene.
26) This is not a great episode. It’s not bad, either, but I feel the reveal that Spike was killing again and the why he was doing it should’ve been placed further apart (although I understand they were trying to get people to like Spike again, so that might’ve been detrimental to that purpose…) I don’t know, there’s something that just doesn’t work about this episode. The scenes between Buffy and Spike are great, but the whole episode feels somewhat disjointed. What do you think? Is this when season 7 started to go south?
27) If you’ve got this far, thank you for reading! If you enjoy my recaps and my blog, please consider supporting my blog on ko-fi. Thanks!

Nomophobia : Mobile Phone Uses Lead To Health Risk
Mobile phone uses connected with various health risk
Does the “ding” of your phone have you ever dropping no matter you’re doing to envision United Nations agency “liked” your latest Facebook status? Are you responsive work emails before rubbing the sleep from your eyes? will a coffee battery icon leave you quivering in fear? You, my friend, are probably affected by nomophobia.
Nomowhat?
Nomophobia is that the concern of being while not your smartphone, or a lot of merely smartphone addiction, and it’s a “first world problem” that’s showing no signs of speed down, despite age. And whereas it would sound silly — are you able to extremely be passionate about a hand-held device? — the implications are real.
About 1/2 U.S. adults are checking their phone a minimum of many times an hour, with eleven percent sound their screen awake each couple of minutes.
(1) No house is safe from the push of a replacement tweet, either.
Almost one in ten Americans have admitted to victimization their phone throughout sex. And among young adults ages eighteen to thirty-four, the amount is even higher: one in five have engaged with their smartphone once they’re in between the sheets.
(2) Is it a surprise, then, that twelve % suppose that smartphones are prejudicious to relationships?
When you mix nomophobia with cars, things get even scarier. Among Yankee adult drivers, quite twenty-seven percent have sent or scan a text whereas driving. Among young adults, that variety shoots up to thirty-four percent.
What’s the hurt in interacting together with your phone at a red light-weight or once traffic is heavy? take into account the very fact that text electronic communication whereas driving makes a crash twenty-three times a lot of probably.
The injury that Nomophobia will … Let’s Count how Even for those folks United Nations agency doesn’t text and drive, nomophobia has serious consequences.
1. You’re dalliance
While several folks are convinced that multitasking permits us to induce a lot of doing, the solution is multitasking doesn’t work. Not solely are our brains not equipped to handle 2 dissimilar tasks promptly, however attempting to accomplish many things promptly lands up wasting longer than saving any.
Think about it: however well does one retain data once someone’s reprimand you as you’re scrolling through emails or observation the most recent cat video your friend posted? although your body is during an area, it’s simple to miss vital data once your brain is in other places fully. Plus, let’s face it: nobody likes reprimand somebody who’s “listening” with their face buried during a screen.
2. You’re a lot of anxious
Not having your phone around will increase anxiety. One British study found that fifty-one percent of participants suffer “extreme technical school anxiety” once separated from their smartphones. a number of that stems from feeling that, if we’re except our phones, we tend to won’t be enclosed once friends create plans or won’t understand what the most recent Facebook culture is.
Even our bodies are getting down to acknowledge once our phones aren’t around. A University of Missouri study discovered that iPhone users United Nations agency compound with their devices throughout things that need a big quantity of attention, like taking a check or finishing a piece assignment, may end in poorer performance. (4)
That’s as a result of, once participants were separated from their phones then asked to complete easy word search puzzles, their heart rates and pressure level exaggerated — as did their feelings of hysteria and unpleasantness.
3. You’re not sleeping likewise
“Check email one last time, confirm no friends announce something fascinating, one last look of Instagram … Buckeye State waits, a replacement work email came in. Darn it, that afternoon meeting got pushed up. Did I prepare enough for it? ought to I review things an added time? Wait, it’s late already. I assume I’ll simply suppose it for the future unit of time whereas I toss and switch attempting to sleep off.”
Sound familiar? Being inundated with stimulating data right before bed usually means that you can’t sleep well, notably once we’re conferred with things on the far side our management. And most folks are sleeping with our phones. In nearly all ages cluster, a minimum of forty percent of American citizens off their phone within sight. For that twenty-five to twenty-nine years recent, the number’s even higher: nearly eighty % are petting up to their device.
The danger isn’t solely that every beep long has the potential to wake the U.S.A. up. Smartphones additionally emit a “blue” light-weight, signal to our brain that it’s time to come to life. Blue lights suppress hormone, the secretion that dictates our sleep rhythms. Yes, the struggle to eff your phone is real.
4. Your children are discovering your naughty habits
“Do as I state, not as I do” is only too real once it involves smartphone time. while oldsters raise children and youths to {put} off Snapchat or put their phones down throughout dinner, they’re checking calendars, responsive texts or pampering in one last game of Candy Crush.
It stands to reason than that, in nearly every study of smartphone use, young adults the best usage rates. kids are learning that invariably being connected is traditional — and missing out on the importance of human-to-human interaction.
Signs You’re passionate about Your Smartphone:
Sure, some individuals with no self-control can be passionate about their smartphones. however, are you one in each of them? If any of those apply to you, all signs purpose to addiction.
You reach for your smartphone upon arousal and right before bed.
It’s not uncommon for you to catch au courant emails or the most recent within the news whereas you’re intake.
When your phone is out of reach, low on battery or (gasp) fully turned off, you are feeling anxious or stressed.
Being out of mobile phone signal causes you to want you may be missing one thing.
You live for that next Instagrammable moment.
Pavlov’s dogs don't have anything on you: once you hear that acquainted text-sound, you perk up.
You’ve checked your phone a minimum of once whereas reading this article!
Yup. I assumed so! It’s ok, though. We’re beat this along.
Your 5-Step arrange to End Your Smartphone Addiction
Now that we’ve conquered the primary step, admitting there’s a retardant, it’s time to fight this factor. Follow these steps to relish a life that’s complemented, not ruled, by your smartphone.
1. Shut down your mobile phone a minimum of AN hour before bed
Allow your brain to unwind And attempt to turn off your phone an hour before the time of day. meaning off, not simply on silent. Those vibrations and blinking lights are still harmful, as is knowing that you’re only one reach far from seeing the most recent. Remember, nomophobia ne'er sleeps and neither can you. No marvel numerous folks are invariably tired, huh?
If you have got a legitimate reason for keeping your phone on — your female offspring is out with friends or your oldsters are senior and you don’t have a telephone line — flip your phone on “do not disturb” and place your phone on the opposite facet of the area. during this mode, your phone can silence all notifications, however, enable you to alter exceptions, like a call from a selected variety.
Remember: Seeing what number “likes” your last Instagram post received isn't a legitimate reason.
“But I exploit my phone as my watch,” you say. “I want it nearby!” to it I respond….
2. Stop shacking up together with your phone
Get a true watch (yes, you'll still realize these Stone Age relics). Not solely can this enable you to show off your phone fully long (again, unless you wish to remain on alert for a friend and don’t have a landline), however rather than arousal with the temptation to envision what you lost long, you'll pay the primary moments of the morning stretching, puzzling over what’s on schedule for the day or essentially doing something apart from checking your phone.
For additional credit, I challenge you to not flip your phone on once more till your morning routine is finished: you’ve showered, dressed, eaten up breakfast, perhaps even scan the paper (remember that pastime!) and pushed the youngsters out the door.
3. Set certain times to see your phone
Do you need to appear at every single email the second it’s received? Save your saneness and at the same time facilitate your productivity by designating sure times to look at your smartphone.
For instance, you may need to try and do a five-minute sweep of your social networks and email right before sitting down at your table to do work, then hide your phone away for a future hour, once you take a five-minute break.
Structuring your operating hours around short breaks helps you agree into your task while not distractions for an amount of your time, whereas knowing that a “break” is simply round the corner.
Additionally, once the workday is over, provide yourself a group length of your time that you’re allowed to see something work-related. perhaps once dinner (and well before bedtime!) you permit yourself ten minutes to review any messages which may have are available in or want your attention.
And this is often the time to be discerning: If it’s not one thing that needs your attention right this second (i.e. a million-dollar deal can founder if you don’t answer that email), it will wait till morning.
4. Establish phone-free zones
I know I can’t be the sole one who’s horror-stricken that smartphones are disrupting individuals throughout intimate moments. thereupon aforementioned, designating sure places and times as phone-free zones may be a good way to tackle nomophobia.
Mealtimes are a decent place to start: rather than scrolling and chew, you'll observe aware intake and interesting speech. It’s additionally a first-rate chance to line An example for kids; they’ll see you worth speech and sensible food over responding to your phone’s each ring.
And please, simply say no to phones in bed.
5. have interaction in real human contact
Finally, rather than “connecting” with friends and family over social media, attempt defrayment some real-time with them. rather than “liking” your cousin’s standing, decision him up to listen to the story primary (gasp!). got wind of a low date to catch up with friends rather than that cluster text. Send a thoughtful card to a faraway friend.
We’re social creatures United Nations agency thrive on real human interaction. That’s one thing a smartphone simply can’t replicate.
