The Hostage crises happend in Manila had brought shame to all Filipinos in the International community. But in anything that happends, the Lord always has a purpose. Perhaps he wants to reveal the intense corruption in our country.
  
The mishandling of hostage crises leads to 9 death. What had happened exposed them. They admitted that thier officials handled the negotiations poorly and the SWAT team stormed in the bus was poorly equiped and trained.

 What happened to our policemen? Perhaps they view their profession as source of livelihood and not to protects lives and maintain peace and order in the country. Thier officials must have to do a lot of explaining why they send untrained men in the battlefield.
  
The media also is to be blame as well. Footage from the stand off may helped the gunmen figure out what the police and the hostage negotiators were up to. When Mendoza saw his brother escorted by the police, then he started firing the victims.

 PNoy must also consider the limitations of media especially in sensitive cases like this. We just hope and pray it wont happend again.

I used to savor sound sleep when I was single. But when i get married and became mom, nights have not been as breezy as they used to be.


Further, it was also a point in my life when the demands of my profession required me to tripple my time. Soon i found my self bringing bulky reports home.

In the middle of late night work and droopy eyelids, I would eventualy fall asleep with lights still on. After sometime a crying baby would make me up. Other times I wake up with soaked clothes due to diapers dripping wet with pee from baby.

It took me to realize that i was having difficulty making the night day and loosing a lot of zzzz, my children also took a big chunk of the stress adjusting to my modern definition of "daytime".

Sleep is necessary for health and vigor. It is when the individual is sound asleep that his strength and total well being are restored. To get the benefits out of sleep there must be four to five full sleep hours.

But urbanization, many have been deprived of sleep. Artificial lights have extended daytime making it possible for people to work even at night. Many spend the early and late night browsing the internet, watching the television or working in the computer among other things.

Eventually this modernization has changed the way of life and sleep patterns of humans-infants and children included.
