a Paradox of our Time

by Dr. Bob Moorehead not by George Carlin (click here)

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, yet more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.

We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life. We’ve added years to life not life to years. We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We’ve done larger things, but not better things.

We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We’ve conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; big men and small character; steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce; fancier houses but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit “delete”.

Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember to say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn’t cost a cent.

Remember to say “I love you” to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Philippines drops charges vs 2 massacre suspects

April 18 (4:30 pm) news item: Philippines drops charges vs 2 massacre suspects image lifted from intellasia.net Mga aktibistang nagpapahayag laban sa makapangyarihang Ampatuan sa labas ng Department of Justice sa Maynila, Pilipinas sa Linggo, Abril 18, 2010. Ang mga Kagawaran ng Hustisya ay nagpapawang-sala sa pagpatay ng dalawang magkapatid na Ampatuan, dating gobernador Zaldy at Akhmad, na inakusahan ng pagpatay ng 57 kalaban sa pulitika at mamamahayag. By JIM GOMEZ, Associated Press Writer MANILA, Philippines| The Philippines’ Department of Justice has dropped murder charges against two members of a warlord clan accused in the massacre of 57 political rivals and journalists, sparking protests Sunday and bringing relatives of the victims to tears. The Nov. 23 slaughter, which was condemned by the international community, was unprecedented even in a country known for election violence and political killings that have claimed hundreds of lives in the past decade. Among the dead were more than 30 journalists and their staff- the deadliest known attack on media workers in the world. The killings elevated the Philippines to the top of a list of the world’s most dangerous places for journalists. At least 198 suspects have been charged in court with multiple murder, including members of the powerful Ampatuan clan that has ruled over southern Maguindanao province for years. Several more suspects remain at large. The Ampatuans have been close political allies of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo for years, helping her win elections in 2004. Justice Secretary Alberto Agra said he has ordered prosecutors to remove the names of Zaldy Ampatuan, a former governor of a Muslim autonomous region, and his brother-in-law Akhmad from the charge sheets for lack of strong evidence linking them to the planning and staging of the carnage in Maguindanao’s Ampatuan township. “There is no evidence to prove conspiracy and there is evidence to support their alibi,” Agra told The Associated Press. Zaldy Ampatuan provided cell phone bills and airline tickets showing he was not at a Nov. 22 meeting where the killings were allegedly planned, or at the crime scene the next day, Agra said. Akhmad presented witnesses and pictures showing he was at a medical mission when the killings occurred, he said. However, Agra rejected petitions from the principal suspect, former Mayor Andal Ampatuan Jr., and his father, Andal Ampatuan Sr., to be cleared of the murder charges. Witnesses have testified seeing Andal Ampatuan Jr. leading gunmen in killing the unarmed victims as they pleaded for their lives. Prosecutors have filed murder charges against the Ampatuans in a Quezon City court. The justice secretary must ask the court to approve his decision to drop charges against Zaldy and Akhmad. Several relatives of the victims wept after learning of Agra’s decision, according to Harry Roque, a lawyer for the victims, adding that they plan to appeal the ruling. “They wept not only for this injustice but also out of fear for their safety,” Roque said. “They cannot sleep now that the Ampatuans are being cleared.” Several student activists protested outside the Department of Justice, carrying placards that called Arroyo and the department “coddlers of murderers.” A media watchdog, the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines, blamed Arroyo and Agra “for this massacre of … justice, the rule of law, our basic rights and democracy.” The indictment says the clan leaders conspired to ambush and kill members of the rival Mangudadatu family and their supporters, who were gunned down on a hilltop in Maguindanao. The attack apparently was aimed at preventing a Mangudadatu politician from challenging the Ampatuans’ control of the province in a gubernatorial election in next month. The Ampatuans have denied the charges, and most of their armed followers have fled a massive crackdown in the province, about 560 miles (900 kilometers) south of Manila. Thousands of militiamen loyal to the clan are still in hiding, triggering sporadic clashes with government troops. Last month, another court dismissed separate rebellion charges against the Ampatuan patriarch, four of his sons and several followers for lack of evidence. They had been accused of plotting an uprising after the government launched a crackdown on the clan when it was linked to the killings. Facts: **Resigned Justice Secretary Agnes Devanadera received death threats during her incumbency. **Alberto Agra served as the President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo laywer during impeachment proceedings at the House of Representatives in 2006. **The Ampatuans are close political allies of PGMA. We Filipinos are not as ‘tanga’ as they think we are! The innocence of these two suspects must be tried and decided by the courts of law and not by an office under the President. As I strongly condemned the Maguindanao Massacre, I likewise strongly condemned the Department of Justice for this move. “There is no evidence to prove conspiracy and there is evidence to support their alibi,” Agra told The Associated Press but “Witnesses have testified seeing Andal Ampatuan Jr. leading gunmen in killing the unarmed victims as they pleaded for their lives.” Where are the testimonies of these witnesses? Are they gone with Devanadera? DAMNED YOU FOR THIS, DOJ!! Read also: DOJ wants 2 Ampatuans freed; media, families hold protests

Noynoy Aquino: si Mama at si Papa

Noynoy Aquino: si Mama at si Papa

image from allecoallende.files.wordpress

Miyerkules, ika-30 ng Disyembre, 8:40 ng umaga. Habang nakikinig ako sa mga paborito kong mga himig ng dakada 70, biglang may tumunog na cellphone- tunog na hindi galing sa akin. Lumingon ako sa pinanggalingan ng tunog at nakita ko ang cellphone ni Kringkring, isa sa aking mga dalagita. Naiwan pala niya ito sa pagmamadali. Sumama kasi siya sa aking misis sa NCCC (isang mall dito sa Davao), nagsa-shopping.

Dali-dali ko itong kinuha at tinignan. Nalaman kong isang text message ang ipinadala. Binuksan ko ito upang mabasa sa pag-aakalang galing sa misis ko. Galing pala sa isa sa mga kaibigan ni Kringkring. Laking gulat ko nang mabasa ang nilalaman na message. Kahit tinatamad, naisip kong ilagay sa blog ko dahil sa ito’y may kabigatan.

Narito ang nilalaman ng text message na ‘yon:

Manny Villar: Sipag at Tiyaga
Gibo Teodoro: Galing at Talino
Noynoy Aquino: si Mama at si Papa

Bakit sinabi kong may kabigatan? Sa tatlo kasing tumakbong may chance na manalo sa pagka presidente ng ating bansa, si Noynoy lang ang walang nakakabit na tagline. Si Manny Villar ang ipinagmalaki ay ang kanyang sipag at tiyaga, si Gibo Teodoro ay ang kanyang galing at talino, si Noynoy Aquino ay wala. Kaya siguro naisip ng nag-compose ng text message na nabasa ko na ilagay bilang asset niya (Noynoy) si Ninoy at Tita Cory, na totoo naman.

Wala talagang maipagmalaking abilidad si Noynoy. Siya’y nakasandal lang sa anino ng pumanaw na niyang mga magulang; at sa kanyang kapatid na si Kris. Isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit nasabi ko ito ay makikita dito. Sa aking personal na opinyon, tila may kakulangan siya ng kompiyansa (na nakikita ko sa sa kanyang tindig), kawalan ng pokus (na nakikita sa kanyang mga matang palipatlipat ang tinitingnan), at tila kakulangan ng paniniwala. Sa performance bilang senador, nasa ibaba siya.

Ang listahang ito ay nagpapakita ng bilang ng naipasang bills at resolutions ng mga senador sa panahon ng 14th Congress break noong Marso.
1. Miriam Defensor-Santiago – 933
2. Manny Villar – 579
3. Jinggoy Estrada – 538
4. Loren Legarda – 299
5. Francis Escudero – 288
6. Antonio Trillanes – 261
7. Bong Revilla – 238
8. Lito Lapid – 196
9. Richard Gordon – 148
10. Manuel Roxas II -146
11. Edgardo Angara – 140
12. Juan Miguel Zubiri – 135
13. Aquilino Pimentel Jr – 121
14. Pia Cayetano – 114
15. Rodolfo Biazon – 107
16. Jamby Madrigal – 93
17. Francis Pangilinan – 87
18. Panfilo Lacson – 83
19. Gregorio Honasan – 73
20. Juan Ponce Enrile – 70
21. Noynoy Aquino – 46
22. Alan Peter Cayetano – 24
23. Joker Arroyo – 11

Marahil masasabi ng mga makakabasa nito na ako’y hindi boboto kay Noynoy. Tama sila. It is either Gibo or Villar for me. Not even Erap! At sabihin na rin nilang naninira ako. Dito mali sila. Ako’y naglalahad lang ng aking personal na paniniwala. Walang nanghihikayat sa akin kungdi ang text message na hindi naman para sa akin- ang message na pumukaw sa natutulog kong kamalayan.

STOP KILLING JOURNALISTS

STOP KILLING JOURNALISTS !!!

Together with the rest of the world, I strongly condemned the politically motivated November 23 abduction and killing of over 50 people, at least 25 of them journalists, in Maguindanao. It is a new low even for the Philippines. Not only its brutality, but the sheer senselessness of it as well qualify it for collective outrage and condemnation and the strongest call for the immediate apprehension, trial and punishment of those responsible.

The following journalists are the victims of savage killers:
1. Ian Sublang – Media/Gensan Newsprint
2. Lea Dalmacio – Media/Gensan Newsprint
3. Gina Dela Cruz – Media/Gensan Newsprint
4. Marites Cabunes – Media/Gensan Newsprint

Malaysian tycoon buys networking site Friendster

Malaysian tycoon buys networking site Friendster Most of us, if not all, have been members of FRIENDSTER. This item (taken from a news report) may shed light on why it has a new formatting scheme. KUALA LUMPUR — Malaysian tycoon Vincent Tan announced a deal to buy Friendster, a social networking site that still retains a strong following in Southeast Asia after losing in global popularity to Facebook and MySpace. . Tan’s online payment systems business will buy 100 percent of Friendster through an affiliate company, according to a joint statement Thursday. . The two companies will be combined so Tan’s business empire can sell content such as games, movies, music and other products to Friendster’s 115 million members, using his company’s electronic payments system. Tan’s businesses include retail franchises in Southeast Asia such as Starbucks, 7-Eleven, Borders, Krispy Kreme, and Wendy’s. . The price for Friendster wasn’t disclosed but the combined entity will have annual revenue of about $110 million. . “We are creating a unique company that will be well positioned to provide content to a huge, regional user base here in Southeast Asia,” the statement said. . Launched in 2003, Friendster was among the first to establish online social networking as a hot trend. It soon faded in popularity, however, as Web users migrated to newer sites such as MySpace.com and Facebook.com. . Facebook is the world’s second most popular Web site, attracting almost 29 percent of Internet users, according to Web traffic monitor Alexa.com. . In contrast, only 0.4 percent of Internet users are visiting Friendster, ranking it the 164th most popular site globally. . Despite its demise in the U.S., Friendster has managed to build a strong following in Asia, particularly in the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia. The three countries account for almost 60 percent of its users. . Friendster Chief Executive Richard Kimber said about 90 million of the site’s members are Asians and described the merger as an “industry-changing event.” . Associated Press Writer Tomoko A. Hosaka in Tokyo contributed to this report.

Random Comments

The following comments were posted by friends and were picked randomly. Click on a number to find out who posted the comment (it could be yours) and on the ‘pencil’ icon to view the actual comment, not the post. The idea behind this post started after I came across a very useful widget for sidebars, the Top Ten Commentators. As the name suggests, it will show top commentators of a blog on its sidebar. The program is written in PHP…and also in JavaScript. Unluckily, these advanced programs are not applicable to our ‘friendster blog’(yet?). I hope I can come up with a simpler version of this widget so that we will be able to see who those ‘top ten commentators’ are on our sidebars.

I can relate to this article, as I was once a Labor Leader, and a member of Kilusang Mayo Uno, I really appreciate it that we have the same thoughts about poverty. keep up the good work and keep writing poems and articles such as this one. Regards, _____ i like the way you compile your Tagalog poems. I also had three anthologies of poetry during my college days, but unluckily the PC crashed down, and its gone. I am planning to start another writing project hopefully next year. manoy doro, you inspire me to write in Tagalog. I will try to post in my blog page.

Thanks. wow, manoy, ang galing nito, imagine, naging chinese young blog ko very interesting. hopefully, hindi mahirap pag-aralan yung ginawa mo :)thanks for sharing. Your forewarning three decades ago may not have fallen into deaf ears. Time and again, many appealed, rose and eventually fought for want of change. But it seems decadence always prevailed. Courage is no longer enough, or shall I say, not the precise weapon to defeat the enemy that many of us conceive. Some of those with the firm resolve for change did triumph over their supposed enemies. But, alas! They too, have in due course become instruments of oppression. Worse, like their predecessors, they fail to realize they have become victims of the real enemy they fail to perceive. I am for change. But it should start from within the enemies of each and every one of us. Ourselves! manoy doro, i would feel extremely proud! congratulations!! manang-mana po sa inyo ang bata! congratulations din po sa nanay at siyempre lalung-lalo na, kay nikka! a big CONGRATS to nikka!! and to you, manoy doro, for raising her well, and for- i’m sure- sharing your writer’s genes with her what a lovely poem she wrote!! i agree with che. i can see nikka developing into a famous writer and/or poet not too many years down the road i will keep your daughter in my prayers. may God guide her as she grows each day, and as she brings honor and gladness to her family through her excellent writings!! i can see the comparison between the birds and the journalists.. as journalism major, i sympathize to what had happened to ces and her companion.. keep on fighting for the truth…!!! kuya doro, ngun lang po aq nkapg0online ulit mejo maraming npagdadaanan n hirap po s buhay ngun d2 s ibang bansa..gwa din ng khirapan..at kuya idol kita tlga h? s lahat ng mga poem u..nka-inspired ang mga ngawa u po n poem…sana mailabas ko rin po ang mga nsa loob q tulad po ninyo n khit poem lang po.. ang lakas po ng dating… salamat po at nbu2hayan aq s mga poem nyo…keep nyo lang po ang gnyang kinagawian kz mrami po kyo ntu2lungan s pamamagitan ng tula… malaking inspirasyon po skin at smin ang mga nsabi nyo po… salamat po uli kuya…o tatay n po b ang itwag ko po…heheheh…joke lang po,…God bless po!!! you got me hands down when it comes to writing in our native tongue. bravo!

Big congratulations to father and daughter! ang bawat pangungusap na iyong tinuran napapanahon at puno ng katwiran mga likhang awit sa bawat mukha ng buhay kawangis ay punyal na tatarak sa puso at kaisipan… you are genius, manoy doro.you truly are!!!! That’s cool. Fantastic. Big congratulations to father and daughter! This is another reminder for me to strive each day with the hope that I shall one day reach that place in that life after this life where there is no pain, hunger, thirst, etc, evermore. And through His loving kindness and mercy, I look forward to His promise for me “to see the things that eye hasn’t seen and hear what ear hasn’t heard”. kapag talino ay taliwas, akin na lang ang pag-ibig na wagas…

NO APPROVED THERAPEUTIC CLAIM

NO APPROVED THERAPEUTIC CLAIM Why do manufacturers of herbal medicines labeled NO APPROVED THERAPUTIC CLAIM continuously claim that their products can cure diseases, including cancer? Name an ailment and this industry surely has a cure. An aging actor, about eighty years old, attributed his supposedly ‘active long life’ to the product he endorses. It is interesting to note that this product is only a year or so in the market. Is the cure-all product which take the form of an M-16 rifle firing deadly diseases including cancer priced so high enough that the late Francis Magalona can not afford? On Tita Cory’s colon cancer, did one of them come forward to offer cure with their products? No one! That was the appropriate time to prove that their products are effective. In their TV ads that run from ten to twenty seconds (some even longer), the government-required NO APPROVED THEREAPEUTIC CLAIM tag can be seen at the end of it barely a second. It is just like a flash of a lightning. We must remember that television now reaches even to remote places and that not all who lived in those places understand English. Some of their ads were in the vernacular particular to those places and endorsed by popular personalities and yet when that barely a second flashes, it shows in English. Are we sure that all those who suffer from certain diseases and get carried away by the ads understand NO APPROVED THEREAPEUTIC CLAIM? Why not show it in vernacular spoken in that particular locality? There ought to be a law governing this. Some of herbal medicines labeled ‘NO APPROVED THEREAPEUTIC CLAIM’ seen on TVs: 1. Arthricin- for arthritis 2. Arthro- for arthritis 3. Kidneycare- for kidney 4. Pau de Arco- cure-all tea 5. Hav it All- for cell regeneration 6. Eyeberry- for the eyes 7.

SLOW DOWN: ROAD UNDER REPAIR

‘SLOW DOWN: ROAD UNDER REPAIR’ Why do heavy equiptments like backhoes, graders, bulldozers, road rollers, cranes and others all come out only when a national election is near? Last May first I went to our place, Bongabong in Pantukan, Comval Province, to attend our yearly family reunion which was also my father’s death anniversary. Bongabong is about ninety kms from Davao city. Along the way, I passed several road repairs, about eight of them, most extending to almost a kilometer. The trip which toke two hours the last time I visited there a month before became more than three hours… a long delay. If the road repairs were undertaken every year, my trip to Bongabong would normally encounter barely two of these, not bad. These heavy equiptments will disappear again after the elections and reappear only after six years. I just wonder if the flow of funds for maintenance of these equiptments, fuels, and their operator’s compensation also ceases after the elections. For more of these, we can ask Senator Lacson…and the World Bank, too. click on the following headlines for a bird’s eyeview on the issue: Slippery former DPWH exec a veteran of controversies Top DPWH exec exposes P153-M financial scam 17 DPWH execs face graft raps in WB projects DPWH SCAM ACCUSED MAY HAVE FLED RP

‘…a calm before the storm’ . a line from one of my favorite songs ‘have you ever seen the rain’ by CCR goes this way: someone told me long ago, there’s a calm before the storm’ the last entry to this blog aside from this one was on february 24 and prior to that was on january 13. it is just now that i have entered this one. for almost two months, there was a lull- calm, stillness. and as the song goes, ‘there’s a calm before the storm’, here now comes the storm. .

Andres Bonifacio, The Great Plebian

Andres Bonifacio, The Great Plebian image from library.thinkquest.org/ Today, Nov. 30 is Bonifacio Day     Many Filipino nationalists think Andres Bonifacio, the Father of the Philippine Revolution, is a greater national hero than the intellectual, physician, poet, essayist and novelist Jose Rizal. An auto-didact, Bonifacio founded the Katipunan and was its Supremo. He started the revolution against Spain, against the advice of Rizal who wanted the revolutionaries to be better trained and armed.     Bonifacio launched a nationwide revolution anyway. He called for mobilization and simultaneous raids on Spanish installations. He declared the transformation of the Katipunan into a revolutionary government, with himself as president and commander in chief of the army. He formed a Cabinet. He appointed the Katipunan military leaders as generals.     Bonifacio won battles and lost some. Until the point when there were three major centers of revolt.     Cavite was under the upper-class, educated Katipunero, Emilio Aguinaldo. Bulacan was under Mariano Llanera of the skull flag. And Morong was under Andres Bonifacio.     Morong consisted of the present Rizal province and most of the present Metro Manila (except the Walled City and the present city of Manila).     To the careless observer, the revolt appeared to be most successful in Cavite, because the province had virtually fallen under the control of Aguinaldo’s forces. But this happened only because the colonial government had withdrawn the Spanish soldiers from Cavite and other provinces to defend Manila from Bonifacio and his mostly bolo-wielding Katipunan army. Still, the Cavite revolutionaries looked like better soldiers led by better commanders.     All the provinces, including Cavite, accepted Bonifacio as the supreme leader. But every time he lost a battle, Bonifacio’s reputation fell and Aguinaldo’s star rose. Magdiwang vs. Magdalo     In Cavite rebels loyal to Bonifacio belonged to the Magdiwang faction. Its chief was Mariano Alvarez, an uncle of Bonifacio’s wife, the heroine Gregoria de Jesus.     Emilio Aguinaldo’s brother, Baldomero, led the rival faction, the Magdalo.     To divide and weaken the revolutionary forces, the Spaniards made a show of being more impressed with Aguinaldo. They tried to initiate peace talks with him. This was of course insulting to Bonifacio.     As Emilio Aguinaldo won victory after victory, in relatively smaller battles than those that Bonifacio fought in Manila and Morong, the enmity between the Magdalo and Magdiwang grew.     The rivals did not help each other in their military campaigns. The clash so heated up as to require the Supremo to go to Cavite to mediate between the two factions.     With only a few troops, Bonifacio entered Cavite province with his wife, his brothers Procopio and Ciriaco. Aguinaldo’s superior attitude irked the Supremo. The Magdalo men were so disrespectful, in anger he nearly shot one of them, Daniel Tirona.     But Aguinaldo also resented Bonifacio for acting as if he were a king.     The meeting to end the rivalry between the Magdalo and Magdiwang factions was held in Imus. The Magdalo people spoke of rumors, unfounded allegations and the leadership of the Katipunan itself. Soon Bonifacio found himself having to prove that he was not running the revolutionary government like a monarch, that his government was republican and democratic. He told his detractors each Katipunero, no matter how lowly his rank, had a vote equal to that of any other man. Political trap he did not see     Bonifacio was in a political trap he did not recognize. He agreed to resolve the Magdalo-Magdiwang rivalry and the leadership issue through an election in Tejeros, Cavite. Despite the arrogance and rudeness of Aguinaldo’s men, despite his realization that the election was not proper because there were no Katipunan members from the other provinces, despite warnings that the balloting would be rigged, the Supremo remained so confident of winning. Before voting began, he solemnly asked everyone to respect the election results gracefully. Then he presided over the election.     Of course, Bonifacio lost to Emilio Aguinaldo, who was not even there. Someone suggested that Bonifacio be made the vice president. No one seconded the motion.     The election for lesser offices continued. Mariano Trias, who was supposed to be a Magdiwang and therefore pro-Bonifacio, was elected vice president. Position by position, other officers of the revolutionary government were elected, until Bonifacio was chosen director of the Interior. Before he could be proclaimed in that position, Daniel Tirona, the man Bonifacio had almost shot days, spoke up. He said the position could not possibly be held by a non-lawyer. He then nominated a prominent lawyer for the position.     Bonifacio demanded an apology from Tirona, who turned his back to the leave the hall. Bonifacio drew his gun and was about to shot Tirona but Artemio Ricarte, another Magdiwang man, who had been elected Captain-General, stopped the ousted Supremo.     People were walking out of the hall as Bonifacio cried out: I am the president of this assembly and as president of the Supreme Council of the Katipunan, as all of you do not deny, I declare this assembly dissolved, and I annul all that has been approved and resolved.     That next day, President Aguinaldo took his oath of office. The tragedy of the revolution     Bonifacio and his supporters wrote the Acta de Tejeros, denouncing the election for being fraudulent. They accused Aguinaldo of treason because he was negotiating with the Spaniards. (Aguinaldo wasn’t). President Aguinaldo had Bonifacio arrested, tried and executed. . Read Adrian Cristobal’s book, The Tragedy of the Revolution. It’s an artistic analysis of the life and meaning of Andres Bonifacio. It will make you wish the Supremo had listened to Jose Rizal.

stress management

STRESS MANAGEMENT A lecturer, while explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, “how heavy is this glass of water? “ Answers called out ranged from 8oz. to 20oz. The lecturer replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. “If I hold it for a minute, that’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you’ll have to call an ambulance. “In each case, it’s the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. “ He continued, “And that’s the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won’t be able to carry on. “ “As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we’re refreshed, we can carry on with the burden. “ “So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don’t carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you’re carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can. “ “Relax; pick them up later after you’ve rested. Life is short. Enjoy it!” And then he shared some ways of dealing with the burdens of life: * Accept that some days you’re the pigeon, and some days you’re the statue. * Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them. * It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. * Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance. * The second mouse gets the cheese. * When everything’s coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane. * Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live. * You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person. * Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once * We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull, Some have weird names , and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box . ” A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.” Adapted Check out weekly video blog on Stress Management Issues by James Thomas: How to Spot the Signs of Stress (from Videojug):

the ‘unexpected call’

my friend, Shirley Asprec Naumann 3:40 pm, november 11 krrrring. krrrring. krrrring, the phone rings. “hello!“ “can i talk to manoy doro, please?” “si manoy doro ni! (this is manoy doro!)” “this is Shirley…“ “aahh“ “your friendster friend!“ “ah, yes! how’s attorney … (name withheld)?” “this is Shirley…from germany…“ ” oh, i’m sorry! i thought you are Rowena. oh, Shirley, how are you?“ and from there followed a lenghty conversation between me and Shirley, a nurse, dentist, a good artist and a friend from friendster. my tagalog with visayan accent , once again, was put to use. although i have worked in manila with western advertising for almost two years, my tongue is still sticky when i use it in tagalog. i am a pure ‘bisaya’. first i mistook her as Rowena, another friend who is also in contact with me. Shirley is a good conversationalist. we talked about our families, about teeners, her travels, the internet, and ‘life’ in general. we also talked about friendster friends. she even ask how close is Eng to me as a friend. eng is a common friend. in the midst of our long conversation, she ask if she could put into print poems from my blog which i, without hesitation, said yes. she said she liked them. i think our conversation lasted for more than forty minutes. i thanked her for spending her precious time to call me. actually, shirley is not the first to ask for it. there were, if i remember it right, already five of them- and i granted them all. the first and prominent one is ka ester. what is the use of posting those ‘things’ if not be given away? they should have not been there in he first place! the significance of ‘my unexpected call’? cyber friends are not just in cyberspace; they exist as real as our friends around us!

‘fruits of her labor’

my youngest daughter, Nikka

what would you feel if one day your sixth grade daughter will tell you that she was told by their school administrator to write a poem to be submitted as an entry to a national search for young writers? and that it must be written inside the school campus? of course, you would feel very happy and proud, wouldn’t you? i felt the same when that happened to me weeks ago. imagine, your youngest daughter in a national competition ! i would not feel as great if it is only for the school. i am used to it. my daughter, nikka (nelly karen viktoria), had been a consistent first honor student since she was in the prep until the fifth grade, and hopefully, another one this year. she has lots of medals in extra-curricular fields, too. the next day after she told me about it, i went to immanuel school of davao, the school where she is in and saw this poster in the school’s bulletin board: the mechanics:: again, what would you feel if your daughter will tell you that she won second place in a national search for young writers? of course, you would feel happier…and more proud, wouldn’t you? you guess it right; i felt the same way, too, when she told me so. it is not easy to be chosen from thousands of entries coming from different schools both from public and private nationwide. her entry must be that good at her level! on the 24th day of last month (october), she surprised us all: my wife, nelly, my daughters gladys and kringkring, and my son, junjun. she brought home from school a box bearing her name and her school’s containing what i called ‘fruits of her labor’. inside the box were assorted books and dictionaries, an expensive digital clock, a beautiful school bag, and a cash gift of three thousand pesos. my heart swelled! and that night, gifts to her came in: an expensive wristwatch from my married eldest daughter, carmeli, who worked as a supervising engineer for ‘pinnacle holdings’ ,owner of ‘nccc chain of supermarts’, cakes from hannah, a long-time friend of my son and from her ‘kuya’ junjun, a beautiful necklace. great, aren’t they? the ‘fruits of her labor’ inside the box are priceless, no doubt about it – they are not bought, nor solicited but prizes. what made me feel the proudest father in the world though did not came from that box . it was inside an envelope/folder that was given to her in an unscheduled ceremony in her school by the search sponsor’s representative. this is it: . . . the winning entry: The Voice of the Future by: Nelly Karen Viktoria Rosales Protect our earth – that is my call To all people, great or small In homes where recycling start And it is up to us to do our part. . Global warming means destruction Chloroflourocardon causes devastation Throwing garbage in its proper place Marks the beginning of the new race Of concerned populace united as one To save the Earth with loads of fun. . . the national search for young creative writers was sponsored by:

Karamihan sa mga blog na nabisita ko na ay may mga titik na itim na nakasulat sa puting bakgrawn. May iilang nakasulat sa dark na bakgrawn at medyo may kahirapang basahin ang mga nilalaman nito.
.
Gusto mo bang maiba naman sa nakasanayan nang blak en wayt ang iyong blog? Na may border pa na ang kulay ay naaayon sa iyong kagustuhan ? May pamamaraan upang magawa mo ito. Alam kong marami ang nakakaalam nito pero para sa kapakanan ng mga hindi pa, narito ang pina-simple ngunit nakakasiyang paraan:

Madali lamang, ‘di ba? Madali nga pero may iilang punto na dapat mong malaman dahil ang mga nakapaloob sa mga tags ay maaring baguhin ayon sa kagustuhan mo.

Halimbawa:
.
align=”center” – ito ang plastada ng post mo sa iyong blog; pwede itong gawing “left” o “right”
.
border=”2″ – ito ang taba o thickness ng border
.
bordercolor=”#3F48CC” – silp-ikspanaturi (lol)
.
cellspacing=”0″ – ito ay magagamit lamang kung may maraming malilit na imahe ang napapaloob sa iyong post katulad ng mga avatar at sa mga bloke ng kulay katulad ng nasa pinakaibabaw (HTML Color Codes). Sa nasabi ko na, ito’y pinasimple lamang so leave it “0” na lang.
.
cellpadding=”15″ – ito ang margin, subalit iba sa nakasanayan na natin na mas malaki ang sa kaliwang bahagi. Pantay lahat dito; right, left, up and down. (note: may mga ‘theme’ na hindi magagamit ang ‘tag’ na ito kagaya ng ‘REDOABLE’. Mag-ikspirimintu ka kung gagana ba ito sa ‘theme’ mo!)
.
width=”100%” – ito ang lapad ng iyong entri. Pwede mo ring gawing width=”90%” o anumang porsinto na gusto mo.
.
background-color=”#FFFFFF” – anadir silp-iksplanaturi ting…
.
font color=”#0000ff” – ito ang kulay ng mga titik sa iyong entri
.
Iilang Tips pa:
.
Ang mga bilang o numero na napapaloob sa tags ay sa pixels
.
Ang mga nakasulat sa bawat bloke ng kulay sa itaas ay tinatawag na HTML COLOR CODES at ito ay pwede mong magamit. Huwag lamang kalimutang maglagay ng “#” sign bago ang code. Halimbawa: gusto mo ang kulay ng “00FFFF”, gawin itong “#00FFFF”
.
Sa halip ng HTML color code, pwede ka ring maglagay ng “red” o alinmang kulay na nakalista sa ibaba:
