Maintain Safety in Crowds and Public

Many people feel uncomfortable in crowds. With all the media attention associated with random acts of violence, gangs’ wars or people dying in crown stampedes, there are good reasons to be weary in crowded situations. Even the very popular flash mobs which many of us associate with musical numbers on YouTube can be the perfect opportunity for thieves and other criminal acts. However, no one should feel afraid in a crowd, the following guide http://www.homesecuritystore.com/guides/Crowd-Control-Guide.pdf offers very valuable tips on remaining safe. It is very important to be always aware of your surroundings, by knowing what is happening around you, you will be able to notice any suspicious changes and alert the proper authorities. When entering a public or crowded situation, make sure to plan your exit strategy as soon as you enter. By locating the exits you will be able to make a swift disappearance if the need arises. Human stampedes often occur when people in groups follow a crowd mentality, pushing and shoving to exits. The only way to remain safe is to remain upright and calm without pushing making your way to the exit. The old saying goes the an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, therefore feeling prepared for a potential emergency may make you feel more secure if the need arises. Self defense classes or even some basic CPR training may be enough to make you feel like you can help yourself and others in an emergency. In a true emergency you should help yourself first, by eliminating yourself from the situation by either running or hiding, before you decide to help other. Remember the only way you can help other people if to be in a safe situation yourself. By remaining calm, collected and vigilant crowded situations are nothing to fear.

Gaano Kadalas ang Minsan

Naimbitahan ako sa isang birthday ng kaibigan at ang kantang ito ay madalas kantahin ni Celso  at Jennifer, ilan sa mga invited guests. Hangang kagabi sa shore time ito pa rin ang kanta nila, nagtanong tuloy ako sa sarili ko gaano ba talaga kadalas ang minsan? kadalasan ang minsan nagiging habit, kadalasan ang minsan nagiging ugali, .kadalasan ang minsan nangyayari dahil kagustuhan natin, kadalasan ang minsan nagaganap na lang ng hindi nating namamalayan.

Sabi nga sa kanta ang minsan ay sindalas na rin ng dami ng bituin, paano magiging minsan ang madalas?, ang hirap ipaliwanag, ako rin naguguluhan. Sa bawat pag bigkas ni Celso at Jennifer, pinakikinggan ko, may mga pinagdaanan sila, sana lang nga pagdaanan na lang nila at hindi kasalukuyang nangyayari o siguro sadyang gusto lang nila ang kanta dahil sa magandang himig nito. Wala akong masabi dahil magaganda ang mga boses nila, sabi ko nga matatabulgan nila si KZ ng X factor Philippines dahil pang X factor Universe ang talento nila. 

Ang kanta ay tungkol sa pag ibig, puro na lang pag ibig, kung puwede lang nga hindi na umibig ginawa ko na,  siguro mas tahimik at hindi komplikado ang buhay. "Gaano kadalas ang minsan kang hagkan, gaano kadalas ang makapiling kang minsan, gaano kadalas ang minsan mo akong saktan”.  Ang minsan na yan ang nagiging madalas kahit alam na nating mali, kahit malinaw pa sa sinag ng araw na hindi ang katulad niya ang gusto natin, masakit pero doon tayo masaya, subali't.... hanggang kailan? 

Napagtanto ko sa huling mensahe ng kanta na kahit gaano kadalas ang minsan kung ang pag ibig ay hindi  rin lang  wagas,  mabuti pa na hanggang maaga ay magwakas. Mahirap gawin pero kailangang magdesisyon, kung sa palagay mo na ginagamit ka lang para sa sariling kapakanan ng mahal mo, kalimutan mo na siya, gaya ng sinabi ko mas mabuti pa yung isang sakit na masakit na masakit, tapos nun wala na...hindi habang pinagpapatuloy mo lalo kang masasaktan dahil palalim ng palalim ang sugat na pilit mong pinagagaling.

Gaano Kadalas ang Minsan?

Gaano kadalas ang minsan lang ka mahagkan? 

'sin dalas na rin ng dami ng bituin, waring walang hangan. 

Dahil sa labi ko'y lagi mararamdaman. 

Kahit sandali halik mo'y dumampi, minsan. 

Gaano kadalas ang makapiling kang minsan? 

Sa 'kin 'sin dalas ng walang wakas, saglit man magpisan. 

Dahil sa ganoon paraan lang mag-iisa. 

Kung magsasanib ang dalawang dibdib, 'di ba? 

Ngunit kung pag-ibig ay hindi rin lang wagas, 

Mabuti pa, mabuti nga, mabuti ang hanggang maaga'y magwakas. 

Pagkukunwari itago man ay lalabas, 

At minsan kang matuklasan hapdi'y walang kasin dalas. 

Gaano kadalas ang minsan mo akong saktan? 

Kahit minsan lang sa 'kin para bang walang katapusan 

Gaano kadalas ba ang puso'y namamatay? 

Gaano kadalas, gaano kadalas ang minsan? 

Dahil ang pag-ibig kung hindi rin lang wagas, 

Mabuti pa, mabuti nga, mabuti ang hanggang maaga'y magwakas. 

Pagkukunwari itago man ay lalabas, 

At minsan kang matuklasan hapdi'y walang kasin dalas. 

Gaano kadalas ang minsan mo akong saktan? 

Kahit minsan lang sa 'kin para bang walang katapusan 

Gaano kadalas ba ang puso'y namamatay? 

Gaano kadalas, gaano kadalas ang minsan? 

Gaano kadalas, gaano kadalas ang minsan?
