gaano ka ba nananalig sa pag-asa?

marunong ka bang maghintay para rito?

i'll be honest i don't think i'll ever be able to accept a marcos win. even if the comelec tally turns out to be actually legit and the inauguration goes without a hitch, every single part of me will be screaming that this isn't fair. and i don't think i'll be able to stop.

#the depression stage of grief is setting in real quick #but i don't think i'll ever escape denial #and i'm definitely not gonna go to the fucking acceptance stage anytime soon #or ever #hays ang lala talaga #ppcrv tallies please push through pls kayo nalang pagasa namin #philippines #philippine elections

Dito muna ako magrant hehe

putangina ang ganda ng ex ni crush, kung ganun ka ganda ex niya ih anong laban ko dun, taas siguro standards niya, siguro puro magaganda yung naging crush niya. Pero what if nagkabalikan sila ng ex niya? Palaging online sa gabi ih hangang 12am tlga. What if ang sobrang panget ko sa mata niyang? Kaya siguro palaging naka tingin sakin. What if sa sobrang taas ng standards niya wla ako sa radar niya. Ang sakit tlga mag mahal ih noh?

simula ng pag-asa

hindi ko alam kung paano ko ‘to sisimulan. kung ano bang isusulat ko dito. ano bang gagawin ko.

noon ko pa gustong magsulat. noon ko pa gustong i-kwento kung anong nangyari sa buhay ko. pero takot ako. takot ako na baka walang maniwala o baka may manghusga sakin.

isa lang ang alam ko, gumigising ako na laging may pag-asa. kahit hindi ko naiintindihan, kahit parang ang labo ng mga nangyayari sakin, kahit parang pakiramdam ko palpak ang mga desisyon ko, at kahit pa ang dami kong mga mali na nagagawa sa buhay ko -- tuwing gumigising ako, punong puno ng pag-asa ang puso ko.

dalangin ko na sa bawat pagsulat ko na ito, may maabot ako na kagaya ng sitwasyon ko. Walang eksplenasyon, wala nang mahabang salita pa, pag-asa lang ang maibibigay ko.

Is It Ok For An Alligator To Have Tape On Their Mouth?

Alligators make pretty amazing animal ambassadors when handled safely and ethically. And it is actually pretty safe to take them out to interact with the zoo-going public (or general public in some settings), when done correctly. Many zoos and outreach organizations do an amazing job of this! Every state has different rules, but even if a state doesn't mandate that alligators be banded... well, if you're a responsible crocodilian handler, you'll band anyways. It's a huge public safety issue! Even an accidental graze against their front teeth can cause injury. See, the alligators that are used as handle-able ambassadors are pretty small, and their teeth are razor sharp. An adult gator has sharp teeth, too, as well as blunt teeth for crushing, and they also have the additional force of their jaw muscles.

Here's what it sounds like when an adult alligator pops his jaw. (Don't worry about the hissing/gaping; this is a trained and queued behavior. The stick towards the top of the inside of the mouth is triggering the bite reflex. Chester probably got lots of chicken and fish as he learned to do this.)

Skip ahead to 0:32 if you wanna skip the guest commentary.

What's more, biting is an important reflex for crocodilians. The lower jaws of crocodilians are some of the most innervated tissues in the animal kingdom; they are more sensitive than human fingertips! Even the slightest touch triggers their bite reflex, which likely is an adaptation that lets them detect changes in water pressure that signal a snack heading their way.

Here's a pretty good video about the biomechanics of crocodilian jaws:

So yeah. They need to not be able to bite for public safety. There's just too much risk involved with an unbanded alligator (or other crocodilian). Fortunately, it's easy to get a crocodilian to not bite- you just need to band its mouth!

(This fella is Frodo the dwarf caiman, but the principle is the same.)

This works because while crocodilians have an extremely strong bite force (claims range from 2,000 PSI to 5,000+ PSI, but I don't have time to get into that now but someday I will probably), but not particularly strong muscles to open their mouths. Selective pressure for quickly nabbing prey in murky water where there's not a lot of visibility lead to pterygoid and adductor muscles so big, they extend into the animal's neck. But those muscles only pull the jaw closed- they don't work to open it! That's why you see people holding an alligator's mouth closed with their hands.

Safe bands include:

Silicone tape- this is the best. It sticks to itself and not the gator's snout

Electrical tape

Medical tape

Rubber or elastic bands

There are other options, but these are the most popular- they're cheap, easily available, and safe. So if you see an alligator (or other crocodilian) out in public and it's got tape on its mouth, don't worry too much- it's safe for the gator (most of the time) and it's safe for you!

Here's a couple of safe tape options, modeled by a juvenile American alligator in pink electrical tape (I forget her name, these are from an outreach event a couple of years ago) and Pagasa, a juvenile Philippine crocodile wearing the white medical tape.

So when is tape not safe? When it's the wrong kind of tape. One of the worst offenders is duct tape.

When you're banding an alligator, you need to think about how sensitive their jaws are. A band that's too tight or too sticky can hurt them badly when it's removed- and you want that removal process to be fast, so that it doesn't stress them out too much.

What inspired this post was this picture I saw on Facebook:

That's so much duct tape! Now, this little guy is quite unhealthy; he's been loose in the Pittsburgh area all winter, and he's been struggling. What you see here is a very quick tape job done as he's getting ready for transport. The article didn't say who taped him, but given that he's in a dog crate and was found by bicyclists, I would wager that it was some harried animal control officer who was doing the best they could. And that's fine because this was truly an emergency situation. In an emergency situation, uncomfortable is always, always better than unsafe.

But if you see a tourist attraction and they've put duct tape on their alligator's mouth? That's a red flag! Banding an alligator in public is the safe, correct thing to do- you just want to make sure that it's done right.

If you want more information about alligator jaws, here's some interesting papers to read:

#MetroManila #NCR, 15 other areas in the #Philippines have ‘danger-level’ #heatindex ranging from 42 to 45 °C heat index: #PAGASA

A heat index that hits 42 to 51 °C can cause heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous physical activity may lead to #heatstroke.

Venice, Italy

Dumping my Venice camera roll for core memory digging. So blessed and grateful with this. Life is still good, and proud of this healing journey. Realized that it is I who choose what battles to win, and right now I choose myself with the help of God of course, in his ways it shall be done :)

Ikaw, na kala mo wala ng pagasa because you feel blinded with all this heavy air around you, just remember to breathe and pause you can still be happy even tho things are not aligning in your ways, kahit mabigat na mabigat na humble yourself and see beauty sa maliliit na bagay. Remember to always be grateful. Dun palang panalo ka na. Sending hugs to all who's suffering with a heavy heart.
