baby talk and white squirrel

Two things I discovered yesterday and today.

One: Babies Have Their Own Universal Language

One, from Oprah, babies have their own language; and it is a universal language. They produce sounds which are their way of communicating with us adults. According to the an Australian mom, Priscilla Dunstan, babies zero to 3 months old communicate with us with 5 sounds (distinct sounds when they cry). They are:
  • Neh = "I'm hungry."
  • Owh = "I'm sleepy."
  • Heh = "I'm experiencing discomfort."
  • Eair = "I have lower gas."
  • Eh = "I need to burp."

Sounds amazing! Better try listening to your babies. You may go to Oprah's site for more reads.

Two: The Rare White Squirrels Can Be Found in the Philippines

From Jessica Soho Reports (GMA7, Philippines), I discovered that there are squirrels in the Philippines! And, that the rare white squirrel can also be found in the Philippines! And that the Pilipino word for squirrel is "bising". This "puting bising" or white squirrel can be found in the island of Biton, Palawan. That's cool! That's something to be feel good about!

I googled the Net and found out that there are also white squirrels in the USA and Canada. You can check it out at www.thom.org or www.johnmyers.com. Based on their write-ups, they used the word "sightings". So that means that white squirrels are rare.

A beautiful documentary that subliminally projects an irony of life. "Minsan Sa Isang Taon" (Once A Year), an I-Witness documentary (aired Oct 8, 2012, GMA Network) by Kara David, may look like a simple documentary but it's actually not. Its depth has significant meanings to convey. Minsan Sa Isang Taon  is about an abaca farmer who earns only a thousand pesos once a year from selling abaca fibers. It takes three abaca trees to produce a kilo of abaca fibers. It takes a year to accumulate 20 to 30 kilos of abaca fibers. If the farmer could harvest 25 kilos of abaca fibers a year, he would earn one thousand pesos at ₱40/kg. Little that the farmer knew that the few 100 bills that he had earned the whole year were made of abaca fiber. The Philippine money must be special considering what it is made of. Sad to say, money is a symbol of wealth enjoyed by a few. What is ironic is that the abaca that the Philippine money is made of mirrors Filipino poverty.  Hard work is the
