I'm So Blessed My Lord I Can See You

2011-11-23T02:51:00.000-08:00

I'm so blessed my Lord I can see you in all the lovely things, so fine and true. I see you in the beauty of the flowers and the rain. I see you between the lines of a sweet refrain.

I'm so blessed my Lord I can see you even when I'm lonely and in pain. I see you in the beauty of the stars at night. I see you in my life and I feel alright.

I'm so blessed my Lord I can see you in the smile of a baby, sweet and true. I can see you in the eyes of my very best friends I see you in these bonds just like your love that never ends.

I see you Lord in sorrow and in happiness. I see you in the glory of sweet success. I see you Lord every hour, everyday I can see you Lord whenever I pray.

When I pray... I can see you Lord.

Thank you, Lord! :)

A very interesting FACTS about BANANA

2011-11-06T22:10:00.000-08:00

This is interesting. After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.

Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.

Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.

But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

DEPRESSION:
According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS:
Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

ANEMIA:
High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

BLOOD PRESSURE:
This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

BRAIN POWER:
200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

CONSTIPATION:
High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

HANGOVERS:
One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

HEARTBURN:
Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

MORNING SICKNESS:
Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

MOSQUITO BITES:
Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

NERVES:
Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system..

Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.

ULCERS:
The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL:
Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has FOUR TIMES the protein, TWICE the carbohydrate, THREE TIMES the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals.. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A BANANA a day keeps the doctor away!'

Please share this to everyone! :)

PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe...polish with dry cloth. Amazing fruit !!! ^_^

Inspiring Story

2011-10-17T02:27:00.000-07:00

One day, a rich dad took his son on a trip. Wanted to show him how poor someone can be. They spent time on the farm of a poor family.

On the way home, dad asked, "Did you see how poor they are? What did you learn?".

Son said, "We have one dog, they have four, we have pool, they have rivers, we have lanterns at night, they have stars, we buy foods, they grow theirs, we have walls to protect us, they have friends, we have encyclopedias, they have Bible."

Then they headed, "Thanks dad for showing me how poor we are."

MORAL LESSON: It's not about money that make us rich, it's about simplicity of having God in our lives.

Please Share. :')

IN FAIRNESS

2011-09-19T00:57:00.000-07:00

Just had a party with colleagues. Checked-in at the 26th/Floor with a 2bedroom Loft type(2-storey) fully furnished suites. Food and drinks around me, karaoke, chitchats and the fun. I didn't drink that much but sung a lot of songs. :D The party ended the next day and woke up with headaches not because of hang-over but lacked of sleep. I forgot it was already Sunday that I need to rush out and prepare to go earlier to attend for mass, September 18, 2011.

Headed right away to Sanctuario de San Antonio at Forbes Park, Mckinley. I was touched by the homily of the priest (sorry I forgot the name). Allow me to share some relevant reflection about the Gospel.

For God has been accused of sleeping on his job many times over. They say, he does not answer prayers right away. He delays. Why does he allow evil things to happen? In the parable of the workers who showed up early accuse God for being unfair, because he treats the early birds and the latecomers equally. He pays them the same amount of wages. Seemingly, he condones indiscipline and sluggishness, when everyone should be up on their toes.

The evangelist Matthew writes the parable to defend God. God is God and he has his way of doing things. He has his own measuring stick and a way of reckoning time. He does not follow the system of weights and measurements that existed in his time. Now we use the metric, or the English system, or the Greenwich mean time.

We, humans, work for food and survival. Our reward depends on how much time and energy we have invested in our work. Our salaries are deducted when we report late or absent. We are promoted to a higher paying position if we meet the standards, if we are efficient and produce the target margin. We can be kicked out of the job if we are not performing according to expectations.

But GOD has a mysterious way of dealing with us. His reward system depends on the generosity of his heart, not on our efforts or measuring devices no matter how sophisticated they are. He computes according to the abundance of his heart. He has an infinite supply of love.

The Gospel story reminds us not to impose our terms on GOD. We should not make him act like a human being, in fairness to him. Our total well-being is his top priority. He encourages those who have strayed away from him to return to him as soon as possible. He does not care whether we have ignored Him for so long now. He wants us to go back to Him. God does not discriminate against the late penitents, in fairness to them.

Indeed, God has been fair to us. He does not sleep. He is always on the lookout to welcome us who repent even at the last minute.

I was able to maximize my weekend vacation. Office Party plus Eucharistic celebration with inspiring homily. And In fairness, I had a great weekend! God is really good. :)

Failure Is A Lesson

2011-09-07T19:49:00.000-07:00

For those who appear in my life, whether to help or to harm, are all given by God. I have to meet all of them with a peaceful heart and with a warrior spirit without hesitation to get back in the struggle. I may fail many times, but in failing I know I will learn from it, and in my learning, I will find my own way realizing that without overcoming those obstacles, I would never have realized my potential, strength and will power of heart.

Even my bad experiences can be learned from. Those lessons are my hardest and probably the most important ones. I appreciate every moment and take from it everything that I possibly can, for I already know that I may be able to experience it again and again. And in this life, it is not how many times we stumble, it is not how many times we failed. But it is how we stand up and try again and again and again.

From many inspiring books and articles I've read, I have learned that we can develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success. There are no mistakes in life, only lessons. And my lessons will keep on repeating themselves... until learned. :')

All I Need For Now!

2011-09-07T03:01:00.000-07:00

I wanna go to a place where I could find peace of mind.

I wanna go to a place where I could only hear the falling leaves.

I wanna go uphill and see the wonderful creation of GOD.

I wanna lay down on the grass and relax with no worries.

I wanna feel the natural serenity of a tropical rainforest.

I wanna feel the fresh air keeps brushing my face.

I wanna hear the birds singing flying down the trees.

I wanna hear the calm soothing sound of the reflective riverstream.

I wanna go away and skip from city lifestyles.

I wanna go away from busyness and workloads.

I wanna go away from the noise and restlessness.

I wanna go away and express sadness, loss and anxieties.

I wanna hear the real sound of silence.

I wanna live and grow in silence.

Just like nature trees, flowers and grass that grows in silence.

Just like the sun and moon that moves in silence.

All I need is silence to be able to find my SOUL...

LET'S PRAY for the WHOLE WORLD!

LUCIA REVEALS THE THIRD SECRET OF FATIMA

Regardless of whatever Creed or Religion, it is better to be prepared and be in good terms with GOD who created us; for we never know when we will be leaving this world.....

LAST SECRET OF FATIMA

The Church has given permission to reveal to the people the last part of the message. The Blessed Virgin appeared to three children in Fatima, Portugal , in 1917, this is a proven fact;one of these children was Lucia, (died 2-13-05).

She was a cloistered nun, and lived in a monastery in Portugal. Lucia disclosed the message for the first time; to Pope Pius Xll who, after reading , sealed it and stored it away without making it public. Later Pope John XXIII read it and, in the same manner as his predecessor, he kept it out of the public eye because he knew that once revealed; it would bring desperation and panic to mankind,

But now the time has come, and permission has been granted from Pope John Paul II to reveal it to the children of God; not to create panic, but to make God's people aware of this important message and be prepared.

The Virgin told Lucia:
'Go, my child, and tell the world what will come to pass during the 1950's - 2000's. Men are not practicing the Commandments that God has given us. Evil is governing the world and is harvesting hate and resentment all over. Men will fabricate mortal weapons that will destroy the world in minutes!... where half of the human race will be destroyed. The war will begin against Rome , and there will be conflicts amongst religious orders...

God will allow all natural phenomena like smoke, hail, cold, water, fire, floods, earthquakes, winds and inclement weather to slowly batter the planet. These happenings will come to pass before the year 2012.!!!! "For those who don't/won't believe..... . . this is the time..... Your beloved mother told you. Those lacking charity towards others, in words & deeds and those who do not love their neighbour like my beloved Son has loved you all ....... cannot survive! They will wish to have died.

God will punish severely those who do not believe in him, those who despise him and those who did not have time for him." 'I call upon all of you to come to my son Jesus Christ. God will help the world, but all of those who do not show fidelity and loyalty will be destroyed!'

Father Agustin, who lives in Fatima , said that Pope Paul VI gave him permission to visit Sister Lucia,a cloistered nun (she did not leave the monastery nor was allowed to receive any visitors). Father Agustin said that she received him greatly overwhelmed and told him: 'Father, Our Lady is very sad because nobody is interested in her prophecy of 1917, though the righteous are walking through a narrow path, the evil ones are walking through an ample road that is leading them straight
to their destruction! Believe me, Father, the punishment will come very soon. 'Many souls will be lost and many nations will disappear from the earth.

But, in the middle of all these, if men reflect, pray and practice sincerity, good deeds, kindness and respect, the world can be saved. However, if men persist with evil ways....greed, hatred, selfish acts, rivalry, and rif, the world will be lost forever!. The time has come for all to pass on the message of our Blessed Lady to their families, friends, and to the entire world.

Continue praying, make penitence and sacrifices. We are close to the last minute of the last day and the catastrophes are near. Due to this, many that were far from the Church will return to the open arms of the Church of Jesus Christ.

The joining of the churches will result in one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church; England , Russia , China , Jews, Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus,Protestants, etc.. All will return believing and
worshipping God our Creator, in his beloved Son and in Blessed Mother Virgin Mary.'

WHAT AWAITS US ???

Everywhere there will be 'Peace Talks', but punishment will come.

A MAN IN A VERY IMPORTANT POSITION WILL BE ASSASSINATED AND THIS WILL
PROVOKE THE WAR.

A POWERFUL ARMY WILL DOMINATE ALL THROUGH EUROPE AND THE NUCLEAR WAR WILL COMMENCE.

This war will destroy everything; darkness will fall over us for 72 hours (3 days) and the one third of humanity that survives this obscurity and sacrifice, will commence to live a new era; they will be good people.

On a very cold night, 10 minutes before midnight, A GREAT QUAKE will shake the earth for 8 hours. This will be the third signal that God Is, who governs the earth. The righteous and those who propagate the faith and the message of the Lady of Fatima is : 'ONE SHOULD NOT FEAR, DO NOT BE AFRAID'.

WHAT TO DO??? : Bow your heads, kneel down and ask God for forgiveness. Because, only what is good and is not under the power of evil will survive the catastrophe. In order for you to prepare and remain alive and safe, I will give you the following signs: ANGUISH AND IN A SHORT PERIOD THE EARTHQUAKE WILL COMMENCE... THE EARTH WILL SHAKE.....

The shake will be so violent that will move the earth 23 degrees and then it will return it to its normal position. Then, total and absolute darkness will cover the entire planet... All the evil spirits will be mingling around and free, doing harm to all those souls that did not want to listen to this message and those who did not want to repent.

To the faithful souls, remember to light the blessed candles, prepare a sacred altar with a crucifix in order to communicate with GOD and implore for His infinite mercy.... All will be dark; and IN THE SKY A GREAT MYSTIC CROSS will appear to remind us the price that his beloved Son had to pay for our redemption.

In the house the only thing that can give light will be the HOLY CANDLES... Once lit, nothing will put them off until the three days of darkness are over. Also, you should have holy water that should be
sprinkled abundantly on windows and doors. The Lord will protect the property of the chosen ones.... Kneel down before the powerful cross of my beloved Son, pray the Rosary and after each Hail Mary you must pray the following:

'Oh God forgive us our sins, preserve us from the fires of hell, take all souls to heaven, especially those who are in more need of thy mercy. Blessed Virgin Mary, protect us, we love you, save us and save the world'.

Pray 5 Creeds and the Rosary which is the secret to my immaculate Heart. All those who believe in my words go and take the message to everyone, DO NOT FEAR! FEAR NOTHING DURING THE LORD'S GREAT DAY. Talk to all, now that there is time. Those who keep quiet will be responsible for all those souls who will perish in ignorance. All those who pray humbly the rosary will have the protection of heaven. Those who are bound to die, I will help them die in peace, and they will
be holy when they enter the other world.

I wish all my children to attend mass every first Friday and every first Saturday of each month; to confess and receive Holy Communion; and in doing so, save the world from its TOTAL DESTRUCTION!!

When the earth shakes no more, those who still do not believe in our Lord will perish in a horrible way: The wind will bring gas and it will disperse it everywhere, then the sun will rise. Maybe you will survive this catastrophe.

Do not forget that God's punishment is holy and
ONCE IT HAS STARTED YOU SHOULD NOT LOOK OUTSIDE, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE!!!!
GOD DOES NOT WANT ANY OF HIS GOOD CHILDREN TO SEE WHEN HE PUNISHES THE
SINNERS..... All this encompasses with the writings of the Holy scriptures. Read on the New Testament: Lucas 21-5:121, 12:19, 20:20, 29:33 | Letters of St Paul 3 - 8 - 14, Isaiah 40, 1:5:9. You must understand that God allows all this to happen. The Pope and Bishops are now awaiting another message that speaks about repentance and prayer. Please remember that God's words are not a threat.... but GOOD NEWS.... Please reproduce these pages and send them to all you know so we all can have the opportunity to repent and be saved.

We do not know if those receiving this message believe or not in GOD, but just think that, if you are receiving this message it is for a good reason!! from God who created us and loves us so much!

Our Creator is giving us the chance to be saved, no matter what religion or creed we may be. If you don't believe in this message, at least send it to others, it costs you nothing. To all those receiving it, they can have the opportunity to judge and decide for themselves. Remember, we can avoid a great deal of evil if we practice the Commandments that Our Loving Father God gave us.... Just 10 simple ways, that if we all put into practice we can obtain God's pardon.

Amen.

Please Re-post and help mankind be informed!

Everything Happens For A Reason

2011-03-17T22:46:00.000-07:00

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there. They serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be, your roommate, your neighbor, professor, long lost friend, lover or even a complete stranger who, when you lock your eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way. And sometimes things happens to you and at the time they seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection, you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would never have realized your potential, strength, will power of heart.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck, Illness, injury, love, lost moments or true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of the soul. Without these tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smooth paved, straight flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.

These people you meet who affect your life and successes and downfalls you experience, they are the ones who creates who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. Those lessons are the hardest and probably the most important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you, or break your heart... Forgive them, for they have helped you learn about TRUST and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them. Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen, let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it. I wish you all the best in your endeavors as well as struggles in life. Have a fighting spirit and never hesitate to get back in the struggle.

BUYING TIME

2010-09-14T20:59:00.000-07:00

A man came home from work late again, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”
“Yeah, sure, what is it?” replied the man.
“Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?
“That’s none of your business! What makes you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily.

“I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy.
“If you must know, I make $20.00 an hour.”
“Oh,” the little boy replied, head bowed. Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I borrow $10.00 please?”

The father was furious. “If the only reason you wanted to know how much money I make is just so you can borrow some to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. I work long, hard hours everyday and don’t have time for such childish games.”
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even madder about the little boy’s questioning. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

After an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think he may have been a little hard on his son. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10.00, and he really didn’t ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door.
“Are you asleep son?” he asked.
“No daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.

“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man. “It’s been a long day and I took my aggravation out on you. Here’s that $10.00 you asked for.”
The little boy sat straight up, beaming. “Oh, thank you daddy!” he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some more crumpled up bills.
The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at the man.

“Why did you want more money if you already had some?” the father grumbled.
“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied.

“Daddy, I have $20.00 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?”

DESTINY

2010-09-13T12:49:00.000-07:00

"Your destiny shall not be allotted to you, but you shall choose it for yourselves.” — Plato

“Destiny is something not be to desired and not to be avoided. a mystery not contrary to reason, for it implies that the world, and the course of human history, have meaning.” — Dag Hammarskjold

"We plan our lives according to a dream that came to us in our childhood, and we find that life alters our plans. And yet, at the end, from a rare height, we also see that our dream was our fate. It's just that providence had other ideas as to how we would get there. Destiny plans a different route, or turns the dream around, as if it were a riddle, and fulfills the dream in ways we couldn't have expected" — Ben Okri

“Almost nothing important that ever happens to you happens because you engineer it. Destiny has no beeper; destiny always leans trenchcoated out of an alley with some sort of “Pssst” that you usually can’t even hear because you’re in such a rush to or from something important you’ve tried to engineer.” — David Foster Wallace

Your Kindness

2010-09-07T10:02:00.000-07:00

I thought I could hear your angry words to sear my soul.

I know, that I don't deserve this another chance

But then suddenly your kindest words I've ever heard.

There's no more excuse, no one to blame, and nowhere to hide.

Your eyes have found my failures and my pain.

You understands my weaknesses and my shame.

And yet you never leave by my side.

Your kindness leads me to repentance.

In all that I do, I Know that You love me so.

And that makes me want to love You more.

Thank You, Lord :)

2010-09-07T09:37:00.000-07:00

Thank you, Lord, for the trials that come my way.

In that way I can grow each day as I let you lead,

And thank you, Lord, for the patience those trials bring.

In that process of growing, I can learn to care.

But it goes against the way I am to put my human nature down

and let the Spirit take control of all I do.

'Cause when those trials come, my human nature shouts

the thing to do and God's soft prompting can be easily ignored.

I thank you, Lord, with each trial I feel inside,

that you're there to help, lead and guide me away from wrong.

'Cause you promised, Lord, that with every testing,

that your way of escaping is easier to bear.

I thank you, Lord, for the victory that growing brings.

In surrender of everything life is so worth while.

And I thank you, Lord, that when everything's put in place,

out in front I can see your face, and it's there you belong.

That it goes against the way I am to put my human nature

down and let the Spirit take control of all I do.

Thank You, Lord :)

DESPERATE

2010-09-05T12:38:00.000-07:00

When my world is fading away, I become desperate. In the midst of confusion and pain, I become more depressed. Lord, God. I AM SO LONELY after all. Please help me find a way towards the Happiness oh, Lord. Please lend me your hand to stand after all.

I am asking for your grace of patience and obedience so that I could persevere for the challenges that you gave me. May I be able to use my skills and talents in your perfect way in which may touch and inspire other people.

Lord, I give my life to you. I TRUST YOU!

CHALLENGES IN LIFE

2010-09-05T10:57:00.000-07:00

For quite a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin--real life. But there was always some obstacles in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last, it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.
Challenges, yes we all have them! But the difference is how we handle our challenges. In this case, we must learn to deal with our challenges to have less stress in our lives.

Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before, how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way, and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever.

The true measure of a man is not how he behaves in moments of comfort and convenience but how he stands at times of trials and challenges in life. For those who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all are the people who have accomplished the most important things in the world.

2010-05-08T08:00:00.000-07:00

Saturday morning, I woke up and face the day with smile and thanks giving to the one who gave life to me. I have nothing in my pocket except for P20 (budget to reload for Alltext20) and nothing more. Friends has been texting me for some plans to go out. For party, treat, Hang out, celebration and so on and so forth. I kept saying, "Thanks, but No thanks. I'm super broke." I went out and bought some load, went back to the room and browsed the net and my phone. Received a lot of greetings and gratefully replied to them one by one.

I Wanna say thanks to all who greeted me on my birthday. There are friends and relatives who greeted me earlier than 12:00 midnight but then again I'm NOT going to consider it in my list. TOP 10 will be based from 12:00am-11:59pm of May 08, 2010.

My Contemplation

2010-04-01T02:14:00.000-07:00

Life has been so obscured early this year, I’ve been contemplating… life has been so uneasy… it’s really hard. But I tried to persevere specially in the season of soul-searching and repentance. And I had this reflection and recollection about the olden days. Reminiscing all the failures and regrets that made me firmly stand on my own. The success and accomplishments that inspired me to move on and share to others what I’ve been through. I know there’s always a purpose for everything. Despite all of these, I realized that I am more blessed than any other people. And I gave back all the glory, honor and power to you, oh Lord.

In the season of Lent, it is originated in the very earliest days of the Church as a preparatory time for Easter, when the faithful rededicated themselves and when converts were instructed in the faith and prepared for baptism. By observing the forty days of Lent, the individual Christian imitates Jesus’ withdrawal into the wilderness for forty days. All churches that have a continuous history extending before AD 1500 observe Lent. The ancient church that wrote, collected, canonized, and propagated the New Testament also observed Lent, believing it to be a commandment from the apostles. (See The Apostolic Constitutions, Book V, Section III.)

Advance HaPpy Easter Sunday to ALL. :)

Why Is The Philippines Poor?

2010-04-01T00:33:00.000-07:00

Dear Friends,

Here is a good article sent by Dr. Arsenio Martin of Fort Arthur , Texas .
Enjoy reading.

THE DIFFERENCE

The difference between the poor countries and the rich ones is not the age of the country:

This can be shown by countries like India & Egypt , that are more than 2000 years old, but are poor.

On the other hand, Canada , Australia & New Zealand , that 150 years ago were inexpressive, today are developed countries, and are rich.

The difference between poor & rich countries does not reside in the available natural resources.

Japan has a limited territory, 80% mountainous, inadequate for agriculture & cattle raising, but it is the second world economy. The country is like an immense floating factory, importing raw materials from the whole world and exporting manufactured products.

Another example is Switzerland, which does not plant cocoa but has the best chocolate in the world. In its little territory they raise animals and plant the soil during 4 months per year. Not enough, they produce dairy products of the best quality! It is a small country that transmits an image of security, order & labor, which made it the world's strongest, safest place.

Executives from rich countries who communicate with their counterparts in poor countries show that there is no significant intellectual difference.

Race or skin color are also not important: immigrants labeled lazy in their countries of origin are the productive power in rich European countries.

What is the difference then? The difference is the attitude of the people, framed along the years by the education & the culture & flawed tradition.

On analyzing the behavior of the people in rich & developed countries, we find that the great majority follow the following principles in their lives:

1. Ethics, as a basic principle.
2. Integrity.
3. Responsibility.
4. Respect to the laws & rules.
5. Respect to the rights of other citizens.
6. Work loving.
7. Strive for savings & investment.
8. Will of super action.
9. Punctuality.
10. and of course...Discipline

In poor countries, only a minority follow these basic principles in their daily life.

The Philippines is not poor because we lack natural resources or because nature was cruel to us. In fact, we are supposedly rich in natural resources.

We are poor because we lack the CORRECT ATTITUDE. We lack the will to comply with and teach these functional principles of rich & developed societies.

If you do not forward this message nothing will happen to you. Your pet will not die, you will not be fired, we will not have bad luck for seven years, and also, we will not get sick or go hungry.

But those may happen because of Your lack of discipline & laziness

Your love for intrigue and politics, Your indifference to saving for the future, Your stubborn attitude.

If you love Your country, let this message circulate so that many Filipinos could reflect about this, & CHANGE, ACT!

SAVE LIVES > SHARE THIS!

2009-05-10T01:24:00.000-07:00

I got this from e-mail and i want to share this to everybody!

EATING FRUIT!!

We all think eating fruits means just
buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our
mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's
important to know how and when to eat.

What is the correct way of eating fruits?

IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR
MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY
STOMACH.

If you eat fruit like that, it will
play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you
with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life
activities..

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD.
Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit.
The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach
into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.

In the meantime the whole meal rots
and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes
into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive
juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.

So please eat your fruits on an empty
stomach or before your meals! You have heard people
complaining - every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat
durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like
running to the toilet etc - actually all this will not arise
if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes
with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence
you will bloat!

Graying hair, balding, nervous
outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will not
happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.

There is no such thing as some
fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits
become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert
Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have
mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the
Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and
normal weight.

When you need to drink fruit juice -
drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the
cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up.
Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the
nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys
all the vitamins.

But eating a whole fruit is better
than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice,
drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let
it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on
a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and
drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be
surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!

KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good
source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its
vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.

APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor
away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has
antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of
vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon
cancer, heart attack & stroke.

STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have
the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits &
protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging
free radicals.

ORANGE: Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4
oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower
cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as
well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.

WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of
92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of
glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are
also a key source of lycopene - the cancer fighting oxidant.
Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C &
Potassium.

GUAVA & PAPAYA:
Top awards for vitamin C. They are
the clear winners for their high vitamin C content. Guava is
also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya
is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes.

Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer!
Can u believe this?? For those who like to drink
cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to
have a cup of cold drink after a meal.
However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that
you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.
Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will
break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the
solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will
turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot
soup or warm water after a meal..

A serious note about heart attacks
HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE': (THIS IS NOT A JOKE!) Women
should know that not every heart attack symptom is going
to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the
jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the
course of a heart attack .. Nausea and intense sweating are
also common symptoms. Sixty percent of people who have a
heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in
the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be
careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we
could survive...

Please do RePost this… It could save other lives!!!

I'm now tagging you!!

Double Celebration!

2009-01-26T00:00:00.000-08:00

Our office is celebrating AUSTRALIA DAY today as an Anniversary Day and Foundation Day of Australian Government. Infact, the official national day of Australia. Celebrated annually on 26th day of January, the day commemorates the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, the unfurling of the British flag at Sydney Cove and the proclamation of British sovereignty over the eastern seaboard of Australia.

Our Australian consultants and advisers in the office conducted a simple gathering to celebrate the special event of their beloved country. I Enjoyed eating their special pastries. Nam nam nam! :)

And as we all know that the Chinese calendar has been in continuous use for centuries. It predates the International Calendar (based on the Gregorian Calendar) in use at the present, which goes back only some 430 years. Basically, a calendar is a system we use to measures the passage of time, from short durations of minutes and hours, to intervals of time measured in days, months, years and centuries. These are fundamentally based on the astronomical observations of the movement of the Sun, Moon and stars.

Days are measured by the duration of time of one self rotation of the earth. Months are measured by the duration of time of rotation of the moon around the earth. Years are measured by the duration of time it takes for the earth to rotate around the Sun.

Today, 26th day of January 2009 is another year for chinese people and it's considered as Year 4706 in the Chinese Calendar.

Long Live Australian... Kung Hei Fat Choi Chinese... :)

Side tRip!

2009-01-12T03:42:00.000-08:00

Straight seven hours travel from Davao to Butuan to meet some friends. We went to mall for some stuff to buy. We headed to the harbor going to Camiguin and had some fun. We managed to visit the most targeted areas in the island, the white Island, Sunken Cemetery, Ardent Hot Spring Resort, and Mt. Hibok². Luckily, it was the Lansones Festival that time where we had so much fun together. We dropped by at the souvenirs’ shop and bought shirts and some “Pasalubong”.

Sailing...

white island

at Sunken Cemetery

The Sunset @ Camiguin

As we go along the road talking with our tour guide slash driver, he was able to point on his fingers the island of Bohol as we can see it from Camiguin Island. Our eyes met and enlarged with grateful thinking as we have the same thoughts in minds… to conquer the island of BOHOL. Knowing that the budget that we prepared was good for Camiguin trip only. However, we never had the second thoughts ‘coz we all wanted to be there no matter what consequences waiting for us there. God’s been with us all the time that he never leave us with nothing.

Approaching Bohol

The Floating Restaurant @ Loboc River, Bohol

I'm with the endangered Tarsier

The amazing chocolate hills

Well, the next day we geared up early in the morning and catch the first trip to Bohol and started the whole day trip with my colleague. We’ve been to the amazing chocolate hills, the ever romantic floating restaurant at Loboc River, the lovely endangered tarsier. We went to this place with confident and strength without having any idea where to go. Just for the fullfillment of our dreams to be in this place. The place, hospitability and very friendly people with all their delicious and affordable food specialties along the way are good enough to have a very unforgettable trip.

@ Magellan's Cross

@ Sbarro, Ayala Cebu

We took the ride on the floating restaurant to eat our lunch buffet at Loboc River, somewhere in Loay, Bohol. While eating, we've been discussing on how are we gonna go back to our origin (Davao) with the money we have. I know for sure we lacked money for this side trip adventure. (LOL!) Tick tack! tick tack! We consumed about 2hours in floating. eat... chat... eat... picture... chat... eat... picture. nam nam nam! That was so cool! unlimited seafoods. weeehh! Talking about adventure, we mentioned Cebu as we all knew that is just nearby the place where we were. We kept on inquiring to the people about how we could get there and how much will it cost us to get there. Since its only 2hours travel to another city, again we had another immediate decision of hopping to another island, the famous island of Cebu. Another adventure started as we reached the city.

Going back to Davao around 4:30am @ Mactan International Airport

Damn! (Bohol pa lang short na kami sa budget! Go pa rin ng Go! sa Cebu pa kaya? tsk tsk tsk) Despite our shortage, we had so much fun in our island hopping in Visayas. We’re even surprised of where we’ve been through all the way from Davao-Butuan-Camiguin-Bohol-Cebu-Davao with the money prepared for Camiguin only. Everything is unexpected… everything is unplanned…

Talented International Filipino Writer!

2008-11-06T18:59:00.000-08:00

Hi there, I’m back to blogging now. Quite busy but I just want to write a simple article recognizing my very good friend, a mentor and somewhat an adviser/consultant in terms of filmmaking here in Mindanao, Gutierrez "Teng" Mangansakan II. Being the first representative from the southern Philippine island of Mindanao in the University of Iowa International Writing Program.

Teng is an essayist, screenwriter, fiction writer, poet, photographer, filmmaker, journalist, heritage conservationist, relief worker, editor, blogger, and a Muslim gay.

Teng belongs to Moro royalty, in a family that can trace its genetic heritage back to the Prophet through the sharif who first brought Islam to Mindanao -- but in college he underwent both political and artistic awakenings. The artistic awakening happened through a film festival in Manila, where he was exposed to the work of artists including Truffaut, Fellini and Ozu. "That really opened my eyes," he says. "So I shifted to communications, read everything I could find about films, and started writing."

Back in my college years, with my colleagues coi, sheng, mona and Sharon, as the micromedia production based from Mindanao have decided to feature teng’s passion in filmmaking. From his experiences itself, we’ve learned a lot. As we had the normal conversation together with the group, having simple drinks at the MTS (Matina Town Square), til the time we got drunk. Hehehe and sometimes end up with a great conversation about film. Teng would really want to help those who are in need, he would even share all the techniques and impart what he could confer to the young interested filmmakers. Read More!

Ito lang masasabi ko.

and

P.S. Pasalubong ko from San Francisco don’t forget! hehehe

Barack Obama, First US Black President

2008-11-04T21:16:00.000-08:00

America's first black president, Barack Obama, was elected last Tuesday night in a historic triumph that overcame racial barriers as old as America itself.

The son of a black father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas, the Democratic senator from Illinois sealed his victory by defeating Republican Sen. John McCain in a string of wins in hard-fought battleground states — Ohio, Florida, Virginia and Iowa.

A huge crowd in Grant Park in Chicago erupted in jubilation at the news of Obama's victory. Some wept.

McCain called his former rival to concede defeat — and the end of his own 10-year quest for the White House. "The American people have spoken, and spoken clearly," McCain told disappointed supporters in Arizona.

Obama and his running mate, Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware, will take their oaths of office as the 44th president of the United States and vice president on Jan. 20, 2009.

Classical Pearl Jewel

2008-09-30T02:57:00.000-07:00

In more recent times, the bracelets have become fashionable. While traditional charms hang from the bracelet, charms feature individual pieces soldered directly onto the link of the bracelet itself. A charm bracelet carries personal charms: decorative trinkets or pendants which are signs of important factors in the wearer’s life.

If you find a piece that makes you feel completely put-together and confident, wear it! And do keep it in mind that the achievement of a look depends on how you wear it. In fact, most people will agree that it's not the accessories that make the look, it's the way you hold yourself. And yes it is really true. The practice of wearing necklaces was once generally confined to women. But during the past couple of decades, increasing numbers of men have begun to take part in this practice.
However, the black pearl necklace is one of the easiest and most versatile accessories you can wear. It doesn't require any special holes in your body like earrings, it won't get in your way like a chunky bracelet will, and it doesn't have a stuffy connotation like a brooch as well as the akoya pearl necklace. Freshwater pearl necklace is the most classical among the jewels that makes you feel fresh and comfortable enough in wearing with your favorite fashion designed outfit. This combined with the wide range of necklace styles that are in vogue right now, means that you can find a necklace to go with any outfit, for any occasion. However, with every clothing store now featuring an accessory rack, choosing the right necklace for the right occasion can be intimidating. These types of classical pearl jewelries are available online with instant savings and other discounts.

For formal occasions and events most especially for feminine, a simple chain with a classical pearl or jeweled charm adds sparkle to any outfit. For a more relaxed, yet still dressy occasion, a funky, larger charm or statement piece will add some flair to your outfit.

I went to many places with my friends and try to catch something to enjoy during the Kadawayan celebration here in Davao. Doing the bar hopping and strolling in a crowded place having some fun along with some gorgeous ladies. It was really the hottest party ever! A lot of street parties and live bands anywhere you go. And as I stood up near the backstage when someone seductively stared and said to one of the ladies… “Are you ready to rock the city tonight?” With all the Victory Hair with it’s Ultimate Flirting as Extreme Style by VO5. You can try also doing the same thing by joing Ultimate Flirting Championship

To the organizers and the participants of the yearly celebration of Davao City, “The Kadayawan”. To the thousands of police and other military who offered their time and efforts to keep the celebration going. Thank you very much! We made it safe and sound. Congratulations to us! we are all winners!

Chopsticks

2008-08-23T00:29:00.000-07:00

It’s been almost a decade now when I was trying to eat foods through chopsticks. It was actually damn stupid tricky thing to do. It’s always been a trouble for me doing that kind of stuff. I couldn't eat delicious and tasty Asian cuisine comfortably. I would rather be using the spoon and fork to satisfy my tummy with those delicious foods. Eating chicken or beef wanton ball noodles, sushi and sashimi was really great since it requires an appropriate utensils to be used. So I managed to practice and enjoy gorging them with chopsticks! And those foods are seemed to taste better eaten with chopsticks, really! I’ve learned it on my own simple way by going to restaurants that specialized with chopsticks but it’s a lot more expensive since you need to spend money for it.

Talking about chopsticks, I know it’s kinda hard to learn at first. But as you go along and practice more often times, you will be enjoying and fascinated eating more foods using it. Here’s another chance of learning this techniques on how chopsticks use in proper way. There are some techniques being shown and instructed at Banzai. It’s a game where each player takes a Sushi Bowl, has a set of matching Betting Cards, with a pair of Chopsticks, a Hachimaki, and 25 pieces of Sushi. You will be challenged with the use of chopsticks transferring sushi into the bowl within 15 seconds. Try it! You will really enjoy! ScreenLife Games is at it again. They launched a new Banzai game. Check it out:

The Kadayawan 2008

2008-08-16T22:18:00.000-07:00

The Kadayawan 2008 is a celebration of our indigenous cultures, food, arts, hobbies, past and present cultures. Kadayawan is dubbed as the festival of festivals. It’s a simple thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest. It evolved into one big party of parties, with the highlight on the diverse groups of Davaoeños. Expected are the streets parties, live bands, celebrities, Arts, Foods, sports, contests, and a lot more…

The Kadayawan 2008 celebration has two main components:

1. Lumadnong Kasaulogan(Indigenous Peoples Festival) - the core of the Kadayawan Festival showcasing our indigenous peoples’ culture and arts.

2. Subay sa Lumadnong Kagikan (Contemporary Indigenous-motivated Celebrations) - showcases the impact of the indigenous culture and traditions to contemporary artists and communities.

Theme of the year: "Musanay Lumadnong Kagikan, Yutang Kabilin Panalipdan!" (“Flourishing Indigenous Heritage, Protecting Ancestral Nations”)

Davao has been the Indigenous Peoples’ homeland, their core of existence. The life and culture of the indigenous peoples have always been bonded to the land. Without the land, culture and traditions are nothing. And there is always the need to defend the indigenous peoples’ ancestral lands for them to continually live and practice their way of life- consulting the spirits, working with nature and sharing with others. The main reason of celebrating the Kadayawan sa Dabaw 2008.

Watch out for this video introduction as an invitation to Kadayawan 2008. Inviting you all to join and celebrate with us!

My Look!

2008-08-16T09:00:00.000-07:00

When I was still in grade school, my dad used to cut my hair in his very own style of haircut. Most of the time cutting it to what I really hate to have. He likes cutting my hair like a military hair style. I can still remember when he asked my sister to call me from playing outside and positioned the hair cutting at the balcony of the house. That was the time where I never had my Victory Hair under my dad’s regime. That was during my grade school. Until I reached high school and then college, I was able to have my own hairstyle without my dad’s consent. My dad has given me the freedom to have my own hairstyle.

Whatever hairstyle I wanted to have. But then later on, as I have noticed my look in front of the mirror, tsk tsk tsk! it has a unique look towards others (weeew!)Ü LOL! Trying to have those Extreme Style by VO5 just to impress my crushes.

Talking about what others use to call, the forms of non-verbal flirting. Victory Hair really helps a lot. Try and join this Ultimate Flirting Championship to have some techniques of some Victory Hairstyles.

Another thing that achieves Victory Hair. Defining individuality and creating a totally unique look that instantly magnetizes other young attractive hotties.

You have to join a game to conquer Victory Hair of Extreme Style by VO5. You will be into a waiting room until there are 3 players for the game. It shouldn’t take too long! But in this game you are either a Flirter or you are a Judge. — The Judges will pick questions to ask the Flirters. Try the Ultimate Flirting Championship.

Alzheimer’s Disease

2008-07-29T11:08:00.000-07:00

In the medical field, Alzheimer’s disease is known as a type of brain disorder that is progressive, irreversible, degenerative neurological disease. It is characterized by loss of cognitive function and disturbance in behavior. Often death occurs due to complications, such as pneumonia, malnutrition, and dehydration. It is also the most common type of dementia among elderly which involves the parts of the brain that control thought, memory, and even language. Scientists are still searching for facts about the causes of Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s association conducted the nation's largest event, the Alzheimer's Memory Walk. The typical Memory Walk of 2-3 mile walk held on a weekend morning in the fall. The event aimed to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research. You can walk with a purpose by teaming up with the Alzheimer's Association, and let us move closer to a world without the disease that so-called Alzheimer's. Moving the nation together for a purpose.

&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/span&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/span&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;span style="color:black;"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/span&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/span&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;span style="color:black;"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href="http://socialspark.com/metrics/click/disclosure?slot_id=14235&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fclk.atdmt.com%2FTGA%2Fgo%2F108708473%2Fdirect%2F01%2F" rel="nofollow"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;img alt="Sponsored by Alzheimer's Walk" src="http://socialspark.com/metrics/view/post?slot_id=14235&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fsocialspark.com%2Fuploads%2Fsocialspark%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fdisclosure_badges%2F12867%2Fgray_disclosure_badge.jpg" /&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/span&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/span&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;span style="color:black;"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/center&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/span&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/span&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;

Hanging Garden

2008-07-29T10:55:00.000-07:00

Unexpectedly, I was able to watch this film just last Saturday. At first I never had the interest to really watch it, all I want that time was to sleep inside the cinema since it’s open to the public (free admission) so decided to spend my whole Saturday there. Sleeping and snoring inside the cinema(hahaha! sssshhh!)… when all of a sudden a very loud sound effect thudded within the four corner of the room. That was really weird! The sound awakens my soul while sleeping in the dark. And I look over the walls and I saw screenshots that catches my attention. And then I started to follow what was the story all about.

It was actually about this simple family that seems to be very happy living together but on the inside the reality is different. Having their rule that no one would hide any secrets from each other and yet each member has their own secrets. This film is a character driven drama pertaining to the story of a family struggling to find the way to happiness. It is alternatively funny, really touching and in some places quite frightening. It is also an exploration of the problems that plague a modern Japanese family, giving us a unique view that can be appreciated by those both within and outside of the Japan’s culture.

Hanging Garden is one of the three Japanese Film featured during the Japanese Film Festival screened last Friday and Saturday @ GS Citimall, Ilustre here in Davao.

The film ended with realization that opens the eyes of the people. I was touched! Another learning… another chance…

Debts!

2008-07-29T06:36:00.000-07:00

So in this case, it is better to try saving them than spending it with unnecessary things. This is just a friendly advice for everybody.

Let’s talk about debt. Debt is a serious issue not only in America but in the whole world. People are having hard time in finding money for their bills, People would tend to apply for credit and for whatever lending that is available anywhere and everywhere just to pay their bills.

BILLS

2008-07-29T04:58:00.000-07:00

I have always been thinking of how am I going to pay all my bills every time I receive the statement of account being delivered at home or sometimes in the office. Internet bill, Credit card debt, computer loan bill, prepaid load bill, personal bill and all the bills I have. A lot of things came into my mind, what if I have no job at all? What if I don’t have money to receive every 15^th and 30^th day of the month? What will gonna happen after not paying all of my bills every month? What will gonna happen if I lost my job soon? Damn! It’s really really hard to find money this time. Specially when it comes to monthly dues. Debt would still continue to mount and would really makes us more stressed and pressured thinking about it. Hahaha LOL! Admit it!

Based on my own experiences people would feel the same way. But then, as I was browsing the net and clicked my cursor over socialspark. I found a lot of opportunities that are really amazing in helping people who are struggling about money matters. Well, in terms of financial services and savings, Bills IQ will help you lessen all your bills and soon will set you free from debt.

They have Debt consolidation that would help you to Consolidate debt. Helps find trustworthy Debt relief professionals and evaluate your Debt help options.

Multi-Grade

2008-07-26T16:38:00.000-07:00

One, two, three… eight… nine… fifteen… twenty! Counting all the rivers we crossed during our documentary of the Multi-grade in a remote place of Liniputan Elementary School, located in Pantukan, Montevista, Davao del Norte. We took a total of 3 hours away from Davao City. 2 hours from Davao to Pantukan Division office of DepEd (by Pajero), and we took another car (I don’t know what car it was for mountain travel) for another 1 hour just to cross 20 rivers to reach Liniputan area (supposedly it’s 27 but we took the shortcut hehehe!). And man, believe me, Mountains bordered surround it and while rivers trapped around the small school for multi-grade levels.

We took footages while on our way. Flordy took photos while I was taking videos.

Multi-grade involves the teaching of children from two or more grade levels in one classroom. Such context requires the employment of particular teaching methodologies and classroom administration.

Since Multi-grade classes are smaller and can be established more cheaply than complete schools, they can be more numerous. Therefore, more dispersed and thus located closer to the settlements where the children live. The assigned teacher would really have to live near them, for it will take you 27 rivers to get there. LOL! The school happens to be located where it is bordered by rivers and it’s even kilometres away from urban. This means both that younger children can attend and spend travelling by crossing rivers everyday just to get into school. But for them attending school is therefore likely to be more acceptable to the families concerned, as improvement to each one another escalates. And thus both increase the number of children receiving education and reduce the failure rate.

Multi-grade schools, being smaller and more dispersed, teacher would enjoy much closer links with the smaller communities that they would be setting up to serve.

This would have a very positive effect on local attitudes and access to education.

This kind of job is not easy to do without putting your heart into it. Imagine yourself being isolated in one place in a remote and far-flung area, feels like being exiled. Isn’t it? A dedicated and committed being immersed herself into great sacrifice. She gave up everything, life in the city, friends and relatives, but because of love and perseverance in teaching to where her heart belongs to. Her passion in teaching multi-grade for nine (9) years leads her into a promotion for Principal and will be assigned to be the coordinator of Multi-grade in their division. Well, she deserved it! Congratulations to Ma’am Annabelle Isaac.

When I was in college, I was one of the laziest students on earth. I was always having trouble in doing some research works, feasibility studies, essay writings, proposals or even in writing a letter and most of the especially during my thesis documentation time entitled “The World History Tutorial Game Software”, it’s an animated game we have developed as part our final project in college. I was forced to do all the documentations, doing all the essay and other researched works ‘coz I needed to do them with all the sleepless nights just to come up with an output, else I won’t be able to graduate my course.

However, I found out that doing such thing as that is really inconvenient and time consuming especially to a business people. In this case, it seems that it’s gonna more comfortable and faster without hassle in our part in doing such thing as that considering the time frame needed for a particular work to be done through the help and assistance custom-essay.org.

Cisco Certification

2008-07-21T23:17:00.000-07:00

As a computer Science graduate from a prestigious and International accredited School here in the Philippines. I took also Cisco Networking during my college years as part of our curriculum. And I never had any regrets in enrolling my course. Apparently, Cisco Networking has been generally the international language that connects the world. In my case, I have been thinking of continuing my course into another level. I want to enhance and advance my knowledge about the latest trends and technology. I have learned a lot of things in CISCO to which persuades me to proceed into higher level. I have never been using my knowledge in my current job for I have been focused on software implementation, like graphic illustration and designing. But I’m trying to sustain what I have learned as an IT professional. Research, hopping all over the net and explore to increase my knowledge about it. Troubleshooting my personal computer and helping friends in installing their routers and some other stuff in line with computers.

To nourish my knowledge with current trends, I tend to join and participate in exciting conversations about advancing career, and for me to discover a lot more about the future of networking technology. Improving my technical career through online classes would be my channel for sustainability. And so I am planning to have online review and take examination for Cisco certification for some opportunities awaits for me soon. Knowledge in Cisco Networking increases credibility for some opportunities especially in terms of technical and other technological reference.

My scheduled saturday party night was cancelled. My pc shutted off unexpectedly at around 11pm where i was preparing a lot of things for my family and at the same time to take a shower and prepare for the party. I never thought that this things could happen. And its even not turning on again... So bad, I'm not yet finish. I have to finish it so badly. I texted all my colleagues that inevitable things happened... downshifted and disgusted. A friend texted me, "Where are you?, we're waiting... come now"... "Sorry, i can't make it for now, enjoy the party dude." I replied. I lied down to my bed and try to divert my attention. "I need to fix this soon..." I said to myself. worried!

INTERESTING CONVERSATION

2008-07-06T22:42:00.000-07:00

Hi guyz, I got this from my friend ALfredo J. Ampac. Just wanna share this to all of you... Hope you'll like it.

Pls. repost this INTERESTING CONVERSATION.... TAG ALL YOUR FRIENDS in YouR bLog List...

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy speaks to his Class on the Problem Science has with GOD, The ALMIGHTY.

He asks one of his New Christian Students to stand and . . ...

Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So you Believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD Good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor : Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : My Brother died of Cancer even though he Prayed to GOD to Heal him..

Most of us would attempt to Help Others who are ill.

But GOD didn't.

How is this GOD Good then ? Hmm ?

( Student is silent )

Professor : You can't answer, can you ?

Let's start again, Young Fella.

Is GOD Good ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Is Satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor : Where does Satan come from ?
Student : From . .. . GOD . . .
Professor : That's right.

Tell me son, is there evil in this World ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it ?

And GOD did make Everything. Correct ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : So who created evil ?

( Student does not answer )

Professor : Is there Sickness ? Immorality ? Hatred ? Ugliness ?

All these terrible things exist in the World, don't they ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, who Created them ?

( Student has no answer )

Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe the World around you.

Tell me, son . . . Have you ever Seen GOD ?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD ?
Student : No , sir.
Professor : Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt your GOD ?

Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter ?
Student : No, sir.. I'm afraid I haven't.
Professor : Yet you still Believe in HIM ?

Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist.

What do you say to that, son ?
Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor : Yes. Faith. And that is the Problem Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat ?
Professor : Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as Cold ?
Professor : Yes.
Student : No sir. There isn't.

( The Lecture Theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events )

Student : Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat, Mega Heat, White Heat,
a Little Heat or No Heat. But we don't have anything called Cold. We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as Cold. Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat. We cannot Measure Cold. Heat is Energy. Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.

( There is Pin - Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre )

Student : What about Darkness, Professor ? Is there such a thing as Darkness ?
Professor : Yes. What is Night if there isn't Darkness ?
Student : You're wrong again, sir.

Darkness is the Absence of Something. You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light.... But if you have No Light Constantly, you have Nothing and it's called Darkness, isn't it ? In reality, Darkness isn't. If it is, were you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you ?

Professor : So what is the point you are making, Young Man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is Flawed.
Professor : Flawed ? Can you explain how ?
Student : Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality.

You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD. You are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can't even explain a Thought. It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.

To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing. Death is Not the Opposite of Life : just the Absence of it.

Now tell me, Professor, do you Teach your Students that they Evolved from a Monkey?

Professor : If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir ?

( The Professor shakes his head with a Smile, beginning to realize where the Argument is going )

Student : Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and cannot even prove that this Process is an On - Going Endeavor, are you not Teaching your Opinion, sir ? Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher ?

( The Class is in Uproar )

Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever Seen the Professor's Brain ?

( The Class breaks out into Laughter )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever Heard the Professor's Brain, Felt it, Touched or Smelt it ? . .. .. No one appears to have done so.

So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have No Brain, sir.

With all due respect, sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir ?

( The Room is Silent. The Professor stares at the Student, his face unfathomable )

Professor : I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student : That is it sir . . .

the Link between Man & GOD is Faith.

That is all that Keeps Things Moving & Alive.

NB:
I believe you have enjoyed the Conversation . . . and if so . . ...

you'll probably want your Friends / Colleagues to enjoy the same .. . . won't you ? . . .

Forward them to Increase their Knowledge . . .. or Faith

It turned out later that the student is Albert Einstein…

I'M TagGiNg YOU now...

Dungeon Runners 3D Games

2008-07-05T00:01:00.000-07:00

Today, I woke up late coz I know its again Saturday… I know I could have a great time on my bed sleeping… hahaha! I opened my pc to do my daily routine… checking my blogs, checking my offline messages… checking my opps… and all the stuff that needs to be checked daily... I received another opps from socialspark and go through the site that sponsors the opps. And so from there I was entertained with the free games from Dungeonrunners.com. I have tried exploring the exciting realm of magic, adventure, and giant icky monsters! Where I was able to play the game for free. And that was really great coz it’s a 3D fantasy world. You can visit Bling Gnome to adventure!

I have explored richly detailed dungeons, battle ferocious monsters and discovered some incredible weapons, artifacts and loot. In this free game you can actually play in different set-up. You might play as a fighter, a Mage or even a ranger and release powerful new skills by gaining experience and have your own strategies with your journey into the unknown.

You can fight evil hordes as a solitary warrior or you can have your team also with online friends to carve a path of destruction through your different opponents, this Dungeon Runners will slake your deepest dungeon-crawling thirst. I was able to amuse my boredom today with some adventure I have walked all through out this free game. Genuinely Fantastic!

Oops! I did it again...

2008-07-01T02:32:00.000-07:00

I told my self not to eat again in a Vietnamese Restaurant somewhere up there in Shrine hills or anywhere in the city after my unforgettable date with my long time college crush dated February 14, 2006. Me and dannie, one of my closest friend who planned to have a double valentine date together. And we did, we headed to Jeckoy's Restaurant located at the back part of the hills of Shrine. And man! t'was damn very EXPENSIVE... I never thought that we'll pay much much money for that simple food that are being served in front of us. I was not even able to fill my stomach with their food. I was not even full that time... I was like eating half cup of rice after all. tsk tsk tsk too bad!

Anyway, today i just took my dinner at Hanoi, a Vietnamese Restaurant @ Damosa Gateway, Lanang IT Park. I was with the production people of AdTech Management, where most of the people are my friends. It was actually a meeting, contract signing for the upcoming commercial shooting for the Sychar Hotel advertisement stuff and things like that.. LOL! Surrounded by the talents where one of my closest friend jeffy, an Egyptian, grown in Kuwait, and an engineering student of AMA, is part of it. I was introduced as the talent manager of jeffy. (LOL to the MAX). I was there because jeffy couldn't go there without me 'coz as he said, "I don't wanna act there alone... join me..." waaahhh! as if I'm using one of his feet. tsk tsk tsk!

Food were all delicious and I ate a lot... I don't have to worry this time 'cause we'll eat more food and it's all for FREE! YAM! YAM! YAM! Deliciouso!! damn... imagine??? I shouldn't have taken my dinner earlier! tahahaha! I ate a lot with nothing to bother about the payment! The restaurant is actually one of the sponsors of the commercial! WOW!... Free Food! And then i said to myself, "Oopps! I did it again..." hehehe but in my mind "It's Free anyway... hahaha!" The difference was... Before I ate then I paid, today, i ate then they paid! waaaaahhh LOL! that's why! that's the difference! LOL! and so I realized that I have swallowed my words. Hahaha! fuNny expeRieNnce!

(I'll post soon footages of the food that we ate)

MILOW - Jonathan Vandenbroeck

2008-06-26T22:21:00.000-07:00

This afternoon after my office time I went to Landco tower to meet Maya, my half foreign, half pinay friend who is working at the 7^th/F LGSPA office. She also worked as a part time host of “Viewfinder” at Davao's Best FM station 105.9 Mixfm, every sunday 8pm-9:30pm. I arrived at exactly 5:30pm. At first, we planned to meet at Basti’s Brew coffee shop to have wifi and do the blogging stuff tutorials. Anyway, I went to visit their office and we headed to the coffee shop together. And there, we ate a lot of Basti’s especials while chuckling on some unfamiliar commands through Maya’s Macbook which is different from windows notebook.

As we go over the net, and opened this schmaltzy and a very sentimental music video…

And man, guess what??? it’s maya’s cousin, her famous and a well-known cousin from Belgium, Jonathan Vandenbroeck. Well, I’ll tell you short story about this guy which I’ve learned from his cousin Maya Flaminda Javellana Vandenbroeck as we had our conversation.

Jonathan (yo-na-than) Vandenbroeck, a Belgian singer-songwriter Milow released his debut album, The Bigger Picture, in early 2006, few people had an idea what he was all about. Indeed, he had gained local notoriety two years prior when he became a finalist in the Rock Rally, a local battle of the bands, and his first single, “More Familiar,” had received some modest airplay from several Belgian national radio stations, but his appeal with critics and fans alike was just taking root.

Today, in his native country of Belgium, Milow is a household name. He has been rocketed to regional stardom, in part due to the success of his smash hit “You Don’t Know,” which reached number three in Belgium’s national singles chart and helped to sell over 13,500 copies of the album on which it originally appeared. Last year, Milow was presented with a TMF Award for Best New Artist, VRT Radio 2 ordained him the “Most Promising Newcomer of 2006”, and at the beginning of 2008, he won 3 Belgian Music Industry Awards (Best Music Video, Best Breakthrough, Best Song). It is not surprising that many are excited to find out what the future has in store for him.

I like most of his music compositions, as I’ve checked all the uploaded music video from youtube and scrutinized the background about this group. To my surprised, it is indeed, became my icon. I’ve learned that their parents are also from a very big family like 15 siblings as maya told me about it. Wow! It’s kinda BIG! They must be living in a very big house! I guess that’s where they got the band name MILOW. (wild guess) hehehe

We finished at around 9:30pm, we took a cab and went home...

Lunch Break

2008-06-23T12:41:00.000-07:00

Lunch break with peaceful and reminiscing ambiance. While eating my lunch-packed from Jollibee, (thanks to Kuya Alfonso again!) I managed to browse my winamp player and loaded this album from Kevin Kern, a pianist, composer and a recording artist. Let me tell you a little story about this man. He was actually born in Detroit, began playing piano at the tender age of 18 months. Though legally blind since birth, his exceptional talent soon became clear. His earliest musical influence was jazz legend George Shearing, whom he met as a child. With George as a mentor, Kevin developed an early love of improvisation and an appreciation for the beautiful sound a piano could produce. In addition to Shearing’s contribution, he received an extensive classical education. From these experiences, Kevin developed his trademark sound where melodies exude lyricism, simplicity, and a directness that touches the heart of the listener.

Obviously, I had a great moment unwinding with those serene music. I guess my boss (Mr. Saunders) loves the music also…. LOL! It’s kinda gloomy but relaxing… it helps you feel cool and get your mood back (whenever infuriating idiot strikes you, hahaha). But believe me, I’m not into it, and hope will never be.

Actually, I love playing music the entire day here in the office while working, in any genre. Apparently, my boss and the rest of us loves to hear tuneful music while working. And so most of the time the four corner of the room hemmed in with cool, relaxing and harmonious music with all the good quality speaker on my side. LOL! In fairness, we produced quality and competitive output. Hehehe! Til then, Back to work now!
