Pseudocyesis also known as False Pregnancy, can cause many of the signs and symptoms associated with pregnancy, and can resemble the condition in every way except for fetal presence. Other names include – spurious pregnancy, feigned pregnancy, imaginary pregnancy, hysterical pregnancy, phantom pregnancy and grossesse nerveuse (“mental pregnancy”). John Mason Good coined the term pseudocyesis from the Greek words pseudes (false) and kyesis (pregnancy) in 1923. False pregnancy is common in many mammals and is a method of providing milk for the group’s offspring, most often cats, dogs, and rabbits. From Wikipedia.com
Well, kakatapos ko lang manuod ng Bad Couple, it is a Korean comedy drama, tapos yung lead actress single siya na gusto niyang magkaroon ng anak pero ayaw nya ng asawa. Nakakatuwa because she has to find the best sperm in the whole of Korea so when she finally found the man, she deviced some ways para magkakilala sila at mabuntis siya nito. Hahahaha! Pina-inom niya ng tonic drink, siguro para yung Rhino na binebenta sa Watson at drug store. So iyon, may mangyari sa kanya, tapos after a month nag pregnancy test siya, nagkaroon siya ng hallucination na buntis siya, when she looked at the preg test. Hehehehe. She had similar symptoms of being pregnant except wala siyang baby, from being napapagod, nasusuka, weight gain etc. Pero after a month, nagka period siya, gulat siya tuloy. Kakatuwa, as for me, gone are the days when I think na pregnant ako, pag nadelay ang period ko, magkaka-anak ako kung magkaka-anak ako. Basta, bahala na si Lord.
Good day! Thank you for participating in this study. The purpose of this study is to collect information on the concept of “matandang dalaga” among single Filipino women in Metro Manila.
The study’s duration is 3 months and I would appreciate it of you could return the answer’s in a month’s time. There are 9 questions in this survey/questionnaire and I hope you can answer them truthfully either in Tagalog or English or Taglish. Data gathered from this study will be used as a basis for forming new concept or a possible explanation to the current single status of women. Further research will also be conducted after this study. Rest assured, you will remain anonymous and your answers will remain confidential.
Please feel free to leave your comment regarding this study and I hope you could also refer this questionnaire to your single female friends.
I am currently working on my thesis and need participants for my study on this. You don’t need to be an old maid to be a participant but you have to be single. So if you know any one who can be a participant, please refer to them the questionnaires located in the link THESIS QUESTIONS
or so they could email them to me at matandangdalaga@gmail.com
Last Monday, we went to Tagaytay because our Aunt Carmen and Uncle Mario arrived from Canada so we have to tour them here in our country. We always like to go to Tagaytay but we never visited the Taal Lake or the Taal Volcano. Akala ko yung magandang almost cone shaped na mountain eh yun ang Taal Volcano, I was wrong. It was the other mountain. So if you plan to go to Taal Lake and see the Taal Volcano, prepare for a grueling sun, boat ride and horse ride but after all this hardship, wow, the view is extremely rewarding. Bale wala ang mga pagod at hirap ng pag-akyat, long story, we walked up the mountain, we never ride a horse going up and down, bagong raspa raw ako, bawal baka hindi na ako magka-anak. Hehehe.
How much money should you bring in case you want to visit the place? *1,000 to 1,800 for the boat ride, be sure to haggle, tawad ng tawad, mas tataasan ang rate kung may kasamang foreigner. *450-500 for the horse ride, 750 for the foreigner, double standard noh, mas mahal sa foreigner. * 30 for the 250 ml na mineral water when you get to the top * 20 pesos for the use of comfort room, mabigat dalhin sa itaas ang mga hollow blocks to build the wash room *50 pesos if you feel like drinking fresh buko Maybe you can bring your own food para mas enjoy, do not go there around noon, ang init, preferably in the afternoon para tolerable and araw Naglakad kami ni Ate, sobra, nalakad namin paakyat ng bundok, it took us 45 minutes to go up, by horse nasa 30 minutes, konti lang ang diprensya, masaya ring maglakad, nakakapadog, rest in between your walk, you can get to the top.
Iba ang lasa ng tubig sa itaas ng bundok, sobrang refreshing kasi kagagaling mo lang sa pag-akyat.
Finally after several dining trips at Soms Noodle House, I was finally able to take some pictures of our favorite Phad Thai and Red Chicken curry. Seems that we never failed to go there once a month but now it seems that we were regular customers of the resto. I wasn’t able to take some pictures of the front of the resto kasi dyahe ang daming tao. Heto lang ang pictures na nakunan ko, we were not sitting by the road nasa loob kami ng gate, inside the store. Kasama pa namin si Cassie na kumain. Syempre.
Ang laking Chocolate Fountain! Free Taste, sarap siguro…yummy!
I am busy today because I returned back to work after recuperating for two months for my maternity leave. So I need to finish a lot of things for my masteral requirements and the clinical OJT of my students.
Because I cannot discuss anything, I thought of just sharing the pictures of Dusseldorf, Germany when Irwin was assigned there last year.
Hmm, I just wished I was with him when he went there, so eto ako, puro tingin na lang sa mga pictures.
I have an online tutor today to Kiyo, a Japanese engineer who wants to learn English. I have another one tomorrow for Will, Korean naman siya. It’s fun to teach English and the pay is not bad naman. You just need to have a good internet connection so you can teach. I’ve been teaching for 7 months now. Sana lang natututo ang mga student ko. Hehehe.
Hay sa mga taong mahilig sa sale tulad ko, sabi nga ni Mec, mabuti at wala ako sa Glorietta nung Friday. Kawawa naman yung mga injured at family ng namatayan. I overheard sa kabilang table yesterday when we were eating sa St. Francis Square, na yung tatay ng classmate niya is kasama dun sa namatay because nabagsakan ng elevator, or escalator. Grabe what a way to die.
So nasa Mega nga kami kagabi, I had to return a shirt bought by SIL na malaki ang size. Hindi ganun karami ang mga tao, baka natakot. Hindi rin gaanong matrapik considering na sale. Wala naman akong nabili, last Friday, ang nabili lang namin is the Van Heusen polo ni Irwin, bumili na naman ng 3 shirts, so ang dami na niyang isusuot. This time naman its plain and not striped.
I only bought sa Beauty Bar yung Burt Bees Lip Balm and some sale na oil control paper. Mura lang siya nasa 22 pesos yung oil control kasi sale pero yung lip balm is not on sale.
Finally, I’ve finished my report and presentation for my OD class. Haay! After ilang beses siyang napostpone eto na tapos na. Ang tagal ko pa namang nag-prepare, buti na lang it is over, isa na lang yung Chapter One and Related Lit for my thesis!
Guess what is my research problem? Spinsters! Yeah!
Spinster Unite, ala lang, trip lang. One more day and Mega go ako sa Sale sa gale at megamall. I can’t wait!!!!
That I’m happy for you, eto ako ngayon from singing Alanis Morissette to listening to Carlo of Lovers in Paris, haay, the song never fails to make me feel so kilig… so nag-search pa ako ng lyrics nung song, eto siya..
