type='text'>My Bestfriend: An anecdote</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;Di ko makakalimutan mga araw na ating pinagdaanan&lt;br /&gt;Mga araw na naging daan ng matatag at matibay na pagkakaibigan&lt;br /&gt;Naalala ko pa ng una kitang makita, akala ko mahirap kang makasama&lt;br /&gt;Dahil sa taglay mong ganda at sa mga lagi mong kasama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ngunit sa paglipas ng mga araw, Nang ika'y lubos ko ng makilala&lt;br /&gt;Di ko na namalayan na ikaw na pala, ang sa tuwina'y nais kong nakikita&lt;br /&gt;Pag i'kay aking kasama, lubos akong maligaya&lt;br /&gt;Sa iyong mga ngiti, ako'y nabibighani.&lt;br /&gt;Iniisip at laging pinapangarap na sana'y iyong malaman ang tunay na isinisigaw ng pusong laging nagpaparamdam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ngunit di ko inaasahan, mga sandali ng kalungkutan,&lt;br /&gt;Nang iyo ng malaman na ikaw ay aking minamahal,&lt;br /&gt;Biglang nagbago ang mabuting pagtitinginan.&lt;br /&gt;Ako'y nilalayuan at pilit na iniiwasan dahil sa kasalanan ng puso na magmahal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Magkaganun pa man, ako'y hindi nagbago at hindi sumuko,&lt;br /&gt;Patuloy na lumalaban ngunit hindi na muling sumisigaw ng pagmamahal,&lt;br /&gt;Kaya't muling nakasama ang kaibigang minamahal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lumipas ang mga panahon nga masayang pagkakaibigan,&lt;br /&gt;mga kalokohang kinasangkutan at mga pagtatampong hindi maiwasan.&lt;br /&gt;Hindi ko na namalayan na tayo'y kailangan ng maghiwalay ng daan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tahakin ang landas sa labas ng eskwelahan,&lt;br /&gt;Masakit man sa damdamin ngunit patuloy pa ring kinikimkim ang sigaw na pusong nagmamahal&lt;br /&gt;Sa pag-aakalang darating din ang isang araw na iyo ring maiintindihan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Subalit hindi na dumating ang araw na inaasahan dahil sa ako'y muling nasaktan,&lt;br /&gt;Sa nabalitaan na ika'y nagpatali na sa iyong minamahal,&lt;br /&gt;Ngunit hindi nagpatalo sa sakit na naramdamdaman kaya't muling lumakad na parang wala lang&lt;br /&gt;Subalit ang puso at isip ay nagnanais na ika'y muling makita at makasama&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dalawang taon ang lumipas ng hindi nagkakausap,&lt;br /&gt;Ako'y nagkaroon muli ng lakas dahil sa isang mensahe na natanggap,&lt;br /&gt;Umaliwalas at nagpasalamat ng iyong maalala at gustong makita&lt;br /&gt;Muli sa isang iglap , nanumbalik sa isipan ang mga alaala na pilit na kinakalimutan .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nang dahil sa mensahe, tayo'y muling naging magkakampi,&lt;br /&gt;Pinag-usapan mga problema na naranasan at mga pagsubok na nalagpasan,&lt;br /&gt;Kaya't muling bumalik at tumatag ang ating pagkakaibigan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kahit sino at kahit saan man, ipinakikilala ika'y kaibigang matalik at maaasahan&lt;br /&gt;Di gaya ng dati, nang aking sinabi na ika'y aking itinatangi, ako'y iniwasan.&lt;br /&gt;Ngayo'y hindi na pagkat iyo nang natanggap ang pusong nakikiusap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Subalit isigaw man sa mundo pag-ibig na na ito,&lt;br /&gt;Hindi na rin mabubuo ang mga pangarap para sa'yo&lt;br /&gt;Subalit dahil sa wagas na pagmamahal na sa iyo'y inilalaan,&lt;br /&gt;Ako'y nagbulag-bulagan kaya't muling nakipagmabutihan kahit saglit man lamang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puso'y laging masaya dahil lagi ka nang kasama,&lt;br /&gt;Kaligayahan saiyo ko lang naramdaman,&lt;br /&gt;kinakalimutan kahit sino pa man basta't lagi kang na andiyan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dahil sa iyo aking naramdaman kung paano ilabas ang pagmamahal&lt;br /&gt;Na matagal ring itinago at pilit na kinakalimutan.&lt;br /&gt;Subalit sadyang kay-ilap ng kapalaran sa ating dalawa, matalik kong kaibigan.&lt;br /&gt;Pagkat kailangan mo ng harapin ang tunay mong kapalaran,&lt;br /&gt;kapalaran na iyong pinili at kailangang gampanan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Masakit mang isipin, kailangang tanggapin.&lt;br /&gt;Mahirap mang gawin , kailangang kayanin.&lt;br /&gt;Pagkat iyan ang nararapat at dapat na maganap.&lt;br /&gt;Ngayo'y muli akong aahon at lalakad,&lt;br /&gt;Tatahakin ang landas na sa aki'y nakalaan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Subalit di gaya ng dati na masakit sa kalooban,&lt;br /&gt;Ngayo'y magiging maligaya na at maluwag sa kalooban&lt;br /&gt;Dadalhin ang mga alaala ng mabuting pinagsamahan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sa iyo aking matalik na kaibigan&lt;br /&gt;Hinding hindi kita makakalimutan&lt;br /&gt;Balat man ay maging makunat, Edad man ay umangat&lt;br /&gt;Lagi kang iingatan ng pusong nagmamahal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sa aking paglakad tanging sa iyo lamang ilalaan&lt;br /&gt;Pusong umaasa at muling nangangarap na balang araw ay muli kang makakasama&lt;br /&gt;ngunit hindi na maghihiwalay pa&lt;br /&gt;Maraming salamat sa iyo, Mahal kong

But we don't have anything called cold.

There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir,&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;just the absence of it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Prof : Yes.

Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light,&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;normal light, bright light, flashing light....But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;darker, wouldn't you?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Prof : So what is the point you are making, young man?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Prof : Flawed? Can you explain how?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen,&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Prof : If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;that this process is an on-going endeavour, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;scientist but a preacher?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;(The class is in uproar.)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;(The class breaks out into laughter.)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;it?..... No one appears to have done  so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt; &lt;pre style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;have no brain, sir.

Unang-una, inutusan tayo ng Dios na maglingkod na may kasiyahan sa Panginoon - Awit 100:2. Baka masaya ka lang dahil may syota kayo ngayon.

Yan ang naobserbahan ni Salomon - Ecles. 11:9.Pero hatol ang darating kung susundin mo lahat ng maibigan ng iyong kalooban, kaya't ilayo mo ang kapanglawan sa iyong puso, at alisin mo ang kasamaan sa iyong katawan: sapagka't ang kabataan at ang kasariwaan ng buhay ay walang kabuluhan. - Ecles. 11:10. Bakit walang kabuluhan? It is presumed by science to be the most productive years of our lives, from 13-25 years old, we are at the height of our strength, ambitions in life... Bakit sinabi ni Salomon na walang kabuluhan? Ano ba ang nagbibigay kabuluhan sa buhay? -- "Ito ang wakas ng bagay; lahat ay narinig: Ikaw ay matakot sa Dios, at sundin mo ang kanyang utos sapagka't ito ang buong katungkulan ng tao." - Ecles. 12:13. Yun lang naman ang nagbibigay halaga sa buhay... &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;"Yung tungkulin"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt; Y&lt;/span&gt;ung upuan, kaya lang mahalaga dahil nauupuan. Yung damit pag di mo naisuot, kahit mahal, walang kabuluhan kung di mo nagamit. Sabi ni &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;San Pablo&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt;, "Datapuwa't hindi ko minamahal ang aking sariling buhay na waring sa akin ay mahalaga, maganap ko lamang ang aking katungkulan, at ang ministeriong tinanggap ko sa Panginoong Hesus -Gawa 20:24. Ano ang tawag ng Biblia sa di nakakaganap ng tungkulin? Sapagka't sinong nakakaalam kung ano ang mabuti sa tao sa kaniyang buhay, lahat ng mga kaarawan ng kaniyang walang kabuluhang buhay na kaniyang ginugol na parang anino - Ecle. 6:12. Sa science, ang anino--- Wala yun. It's not either a matter or a spirit. A shadow may occupy space but not weight. Walang naiiwang bakas. Walang Legacy. Pag diyan natin ginugol ang ating buhay, tama ang sabi ni Salomon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3.75pt 0in 12pt; background: white none repeat scroll 0%; line-height: 140%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 140%; font-family: Tahoma; color: rgb(102, 51, 0);" lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt; O&lt;/span&gt;k lang maging masaya, kung kaalinsabay nito ay ang pagganap ng kalooban ng Dios. Huwag lamang natin dadahilanin ang &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Tahoma;"&gt;gawain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; para sa laman - Gal. 5:13. &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Malaya&lt;/st1:place&gt; naman tayo. You can do as you wish. Huwag mo lang gagamitin ang iyong kalayaan upang magbigay kadahilanan ang laman. Huwag kayong papares sa lakad ng sanlibutang ito. - Roma 12:2. "Mag-iba tayo". Kaya nga inumpisahan na natin na walang sigarilyo... walang barkadang masama... at walang alak...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 140%; font-family: Tahoma; color: rgb(85, 85, 85);" lang="EN"&gt;&lt;u2:p&gt;&lt;/u2:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3.75pt 0in 12pt; background: white none repeat scroll 0%; line-height: 140%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 140%; font-family: Tahoma; color: rgb(85, 85, 85);" lang="EN"&gt;&lt;u2:p&gt;&lt;/u2:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 140%; font-family: Tahoma; color: rgb(102, 51, 0);" lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt; M&lt;/span&gt;ay hula sa Biblia tungkol sa inyo at unti-unting natutupad yon. - Jer 30:19-20.

Yung kapatirang sa Dios, may mga anak, ang kanilang mga anak ay magiging &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;gaya&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt; nang una, at ang kanilang kapisanan ay matatatag sa harap Ko(sabi ng Panginoon).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 3.75pt 0in 12pt; background: white none repeat scroll 0%; line-height: 140%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 140%; font-family: Tahoma; color: rgb(102, 51, 0);" lang="EN"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt; T&lt;/span&gt;atagan nyo lang mga kabataan, huwag kayong bibitaw!

Kaunting panahon nalang. Huwag lang kayo magpapakasama. Hindi baleng nagkakasala, huwag lang natin sasadyaing labagin ang aral...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt; K&lt;/span&gt;ayo ang henerasyong makakakita ng pagbabalik ng Panginoong Jesukristo. Kung kayo ay magpapakabuti, you will be the recipient of all the goodness of our God and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;ana&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; huwag kayong bibitaw. United we Stand, Divided we Fall. Hindi mangyayari sa kabataan sa samahang ito ang bumagsak. Sabi yan ni San Pablo sa -Roma8:30,37-39.

This is a nice to share from my yahoogroup.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a look at an apple tree. There might be five hundred apples on the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:130%;" &gt;tree, but each apple has just ten seeds. That's a lot of seeds! We might ask, "Why would you need so many seeds to grow just a few more &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;apple trees?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:130%;" &gt;Nature has something to teach us here. It's telling us: "Not all seeds grow. In life, most seeds never grow. So if you really want to make &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:130%;" &gt;something happen, you had better try more than once." This might mean: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:130%;" &gt;You'll attend twenty interviews to get one job. You'll interview forty &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:130%;" &gt;people to find one good employee. You'll talk to fifty people to sell &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:130%;" &gt;one house, one car, one vacuum cleaner, one insurance policy, or a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:130%;" &gt;business idea. And you might meet a hundred acquaintances just to find one &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;special friend. When we understand the "Law of the Seed", we don't get so disappointed. We stop feeling like victims. We learn how to deal with things that happen to us. Laws of nature are not things to take personally. We just need to understand them - and work with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:130%;" &gt;IN A NUTSHELL Successful people fail more often. But they plant more seeds. When Things Are Beyond your control, here's something that you must NOT DO so as to be happy: You must not decide how you think the world SHOULD be. You must not make rules for how everyone SHOULD behave. Many times, such thoughts can bring you spiraling down into more unhappiness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:130%;" &gt;On the other hand, let's say you expect that: Friends SHOULD return favours. People SHOULD appreciate you. Planes SHOULD arrive on time. Everyone SHOULD be honest. Your husband or best friend SHOULD remember your birthday. These expectations may sound reasonable. But often, these things won't happen! So you end up frustrated and disappointed. There's a better strategy. Demand less, and instead, have preferences! For things that are beyond your control, tell yourself: "I WOULD PREFER "A", BUT IF "B" HAPPENS, IT'S OK TOO!" You prefer that people are polite.. but when they are rude, it doesn't ruin your day. You prefer sunshine.. but if it rains, it is ok too! To become happier, we either need to: &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style="font-family: arial; font-style: italic;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-style: italic;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-style: italic;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-style: italic;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p  style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-style: italic;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p  style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:130%;" &gt;a) Change the world, or &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-style: italic;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p  style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-size:130%;" &gt;b) Change our thinking.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: arial; font-style: italic;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"  &gt;It is easier to change our Thinking! IN A NUTSHELL. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;It is not the problem that is the issue, but rather it is your attitude &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;attending to the problem that is the problem. It's not what happens to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;you that determine your happiness but rather how you think about what &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;happens to you!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13767061-113221457491818320?l=engersolballa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://engersolballa.blogspot.com/feeds/113221457491818320/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13767061&amp;postID=113221457491818320&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13767061/posts/default/113221457491818320'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13767061/posts/default/113221457491818320'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://engersolballa.blogspot.com/2005/11/law-of-seed.html' title='The Law of Seed'/><author><name>Jerson</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1407/1183/1600/bmc-.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13767061.post-113141662404755989</id><published>2005-10-24T10:23:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-11-08T10:48:05.566+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Justifying Any Difficulties</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hi Bloggers! What's up? It's been a long time since I post my last blog. I really missed posting a blog. Anyway, here I am again to give you some updates and a little bit information of my life in the past few months. It’s been a hard time for me to adjust from my former work to my present job. Although, it is almost 4 months since I change my job but until now a memories are always behind my mind. The first month of my job are maybe I should say a most terrible job I experience in my life . I have to work from Monday 'til Sunday just to finish the project and imagine I suffered a sleepless nights for 3 days and 2 nights with so much hard work and over fatigue. I can't imagine how I survive with that experience. I only did is to ask God to give me strength and self-confidence. One thing comes in my mind is just to finish my project. Just like any ordinary day, time is passing by; I have to face the present and whatever needs to happen for tomorrow. In this experience I learned to have courage, to face any difficulties without regret, to have self-confidence, to be true to my self and especially to have fear to the Lord and to have faith in whatever He can do for us.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13767061-113141662404755989?l=engersolballa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://engersolballa.blogspot.com/feeds/113141662404755989/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13767061&amp;postID=113141662404755989&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13767061/posts/default/113141662404755989'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13767061/posts/default/113141662404755989'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://engersolballa.blogspot.com/2005/10/justifying-any-difficulties.html' title='Justifying Any Difficulties'/><author><name>Jerson</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1407/1183/1600/bmc-.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13767061.post-112191020759775304</id><published>2005-07-21T09:29:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-07-21T12:36:55.663+08:00</updated><title type='text'>I Hope This Will Be Our Work....</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:130%;"&gt;I recieve this from one of my friend and I want to share this with you....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1407/1183/1600/untitled2.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left;

A day with an overwhelming joy and happiness. For the last 3 months of existence, another day is given to the christian to fulfill the promise in God, which is the offerings of thanksgiving. There are more than 80 thousand brethren who attend the 2 day offerings of thanksgiving, aside from different chapter abroad and other remote chapters in our country who witness the thanksgiving through satellite and internet. Thats what the technology do, others used it through their bad and other ungodly works, We, the members of the Church of God International used it for the propagation of the word of God through the leadership of Bro. Eli F. Soriano and Bro. Daniel Razon, not only in our country but in the whole world. To my dismay and consternation, these group who spreading the whole truth of the word of God are now being harrassed and suppressed to exercise the right and freedom of religion in our country. The worst move they did is the indifinite suspension that enforce to the panel as well as to the whole program of "Ang Dating Daan" by the MTRCB. until now, this suspension was not lift by this board. I can't imagine on how they take this in their conscience, while more indecent programs and movies (that using dirty words and gossip only) that affect many young audiences were not banned and continuing to aired in different TV station, The program "Ang Dating Daan" are still suspended. What government do we have today?! why do we have this kind of people in the government? Is this a government for people or a government for a certain religious sect? I dont think so....&lt;br /&gt;One thing that I always remember, Any difficulties and problems that encountered is a part of a christian life. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.kaanib.net"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;"&gt;Thanksgiving&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;"&gt; is a part of serving Him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13767061-112176810870678357?l=engersolballa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://engersolballa.blogspot.com/feeds/112176810870678357/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13767061&amp;postID=112176810870678357&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13767061/posts/default/112176810870678357'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13767061/posts/default/112176810870678357'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://engersolballa.blogspot.com/2005/07/very-successful-thanksgiving.html' title='A Very Successful Thanksgiving'/><author><name>Jerson</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='25' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1407/1183/1600/bmc-.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13767061.post-112114418725749125</id><published>2005-07-12T12:51:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-07-12T16:23:54.130+08:00</updated><title type='text'>When do we say " Thank You"</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;As I was walking on the street, I heard somebody saying “ Thank you” and when I looked back, I saw a little girl talking to her peers then I felt happiness because she knows to use it. unfortunately, it was neglected in our present times, where most people are greedy and materialistic. As I continue walking, I felt sad because many people nowadays have forgotten the value and essence of saying “Thank You". People have lost the gratitude in their hearts. They do whatever they wanted to do without knowing that they hurt somebody’s feeling. People are more selfish than being thankful. Saying “thank you" is form of gratitude, which is an integral part of well-being. When do we say thank you? Thank you is usually used when somebody relieved from their suffering or become comfortable through others help. How does thankfulness work? Being thankful can relieve various negative emotions such as envy, resentment, regret, and hatred. Aside from this, saying "thank you", can build relationship and a good friendship where fears are fading. But did you know that there is more correct way of using or saying “Thank you”. That is, by saying it to our Almighty God, where our life and strength came from. There is no great way of serving God other than worshipping Him through thanksgiving and praises because of His unconditional love and blessing as well as the forgiveness of our sins through His son that He has given to us. A good example of this is the story of a ten lepers who begged Jesus for healing and so He cleansed them. One of them, realizing he had been healed, returned glorifying God. In reply, Jesus said, “ten were cleansed were they not? Where are the other nine? Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God? Then He said to him, “ Stand up and go, your faith has saved you”. (Luke 17:11-19). We must be thankful to God even for a single moment that He has given to us because without Him we can do nothing.&lt;br /&gt;One thing that I always bear in mind is that “When you have the chance to do good, do it quickly before it gone” Always thank God for the blessings He bestows on us as well as for the bad things or adversity that happened in our life because God is a God of righteousness. He cannot give as a problem or a burden without knowing that it cannot make us grow. I’m so thankful that I learned all these things and I’m so proud to be a part of thousands who serve God for this coming “&lt;strong&gt;International Thanksgiving"&lt;/strong&gt; by the members of the Church of God International to be held on July 16-17, 2005.

I was amazed to see the country's veteran and prominent news and public affairs personalities, namely: Daniel Razon, Jay Sonza, Atty. Batas Mauricio, Ben Tulfo, Dr. Ed Bien, Annie Rentoy and Atty. Concon Panotes. Considering the fact, that Jay sonza and Atty. Batas mauricio was run for Senator last 2004 election but due to massive election cheating in our country they fall, and the allegedly evidence they say is the gloriagate tape but they still there to help and provide assistance to the people as what the station ID says "In service to Humanity Worldwide". Anyway, I congratulate all the people at the back of this show co'z they created a wise alternative for the people to watch a good or can I say a wholesome show every morning. also in this day is the launching of Bro. Eli and Bro. Daniel foundation that provide assistance to the poor children especially in Payatas, Quezon City. The foundation will provide a feeding program, medical assistance and other helpful activities in the people of Payatas. eventually this foundation would plan to expand their activities to the poor peole of the philippines. God 's willing! More power to Bro. Eli and Bro. Daniel and to the staff of UNTV37 for bringing a good and informative show.

It is believed that with the aid of modern technology like satellite communication and Internet Connectivity, the debate is possible.Brother Eli enthused during yesterday’s Thanksgiving that during the olden days, there are numerous challengers for debate against this faith (ADD) but they have diminished over the years after finding they are no match with us (ADD). Bro. Eli said he requested that the debate adopt a 15-minute cross examination system instead of the American minister’s suggestion of five minutes. He said that our experience with similar discussion will prove that even a 15-minute cross examination is not enough.In related development, MCGI is holding anew a Grand Bible Exposition at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) tomorrow, one month after the breakthrough Worldwide Exposition that was held at the PICC and more than 40 venues nationwide transpired last May 30.Kaanib.net learned the debate will start by 9 am in the Philippines. Then at 7 pm, the Bible Exposition will unfold to allow visitors and truth seekers to witness one of the Church’s monumental and breakthrough events of the year. “The most important goal in Bible Expositions is to acquire sympathizers,”Bro. Boy Dimalanta, a close friend of Bro. Eli, said in an article published by the Believer Magazine (March 2005). “An evangelist has to arouse in the audience a kind of craving for the Word of God. And with that, Bro. Eli is faultless.”Although not to be televised on free channels in the Philippines because of an existing freeze order against the MCGI program, “Ang Dating Daan” and its panel of hosts by the MTRCB (Movie Television Review and Classification Board), both the debate and the Bible Exposition will be seen on the TOP Channel in the United States, Canada and other cable networks in the country. The official web streaming site of the Ang Dating Daan (www.angdatingdaan.tv) will video stream the twin events. Mission works which include Bible Exposition is one of the key drivers of the growth in the Church’s membership. Today, MCGI prides itself as the only organization that regularly hold Grand Bible Expositions at the back of incurring huge expenses, in order to keep with its mission to propagate the Word of God. As Brother Eli once said, “this is the only Church who cares for souls in these times of iniquities.” For more Information.

When I need someone to talk, she’s always ready to provide her speech. I think I couldn’t find someone like her. Her beautiful face, her smile always remind me on how beautiful her heart. I really know her more than she think. When I wake-up each morning, she’s the second person comes next to God until I close my eyes at night, she’s always in my thought. She opens up her secrets to me, without thinking of anything else. She reminds me that life is so great, that I need to struggle the hardship and pursue my dream. Besides, she makes a great role in my life. Through her, I learn a lot of things that I know someone like her can do. That is how I describe my dear bestfriend.&lt;br /&gt;Best, Thank you very much for all the things that you have done to me. Salamat, minsan sa isang pagkakataon sa buhay ko, naging maligaya ako. Salamat ‘coz you make your best in our friendship, iningatan mo ito. Whenever you are, whatever you do, I’m always here caring for you. Just like what I always tell you, I’m here to support for all your decisions and dreams. Saan ka man makarating, I hope and I really wish that your dreams come true and have happiness in your heart. Best, thanks that you become a part of my life. You know how precious our friendship for me, sana ganoon ka rin. (sensya na masyado akong senti. Pagbigyan mo na ‘ko, ngayon lang ‘to)&lt;br /&gt;Best, thanks for the happy memories na nakasama kita, It makes me smile when I remember those happy moments that we shared. Naalala mo ba when we walk in front of Jollibee nun, Tumakbo ka dahil akala mo mababangga ka ng bata na naka-skateboard. Tawa ko ng tawa nun di ba? Eh nung natalo kita sa shooting ng basketball sa isang mall. Ang saya ko noon, talo ka eh. (lol). Natutuwa talaga ko pag nakikita ko ang reaction mo tuwing kinakanta ko yung awitin ni Michael V. tapos when I press your nose, ang cute mo pa rin. Press mo nga uli para sa’kin. (Favor lang). nakakatawa noh?&lt;br /&gt;Best, bakit ganoon? Kahit lagi kang late sa usapan natin, kahit magmukha akong “tanga” sa kakahintay sa’yo still, pag dumadating ka nawawala lahat ng tampo ko sa’yo. Alam mo ba yun? I hope so…. Just recently nga na umalis ka even a single text msg. wala akong narecieve mula sa’yo but when you explain kung bakit ganoon. naging masaya na uli ako dahil kahit papaano naalala mo pa rin kung buhay pa ‘ko and I feel relieve for my loneliness. You know, sa’yo ko nalaman that when I am lonely, I have to think those happy moments in my life to make me happy. I cherished all the advices that you have given to me. I always waiting for my phone to ring and wishing na sana galing sa’yo. Alam mo ba na pag kasama kita, I forgot my problems, I feel I have a shoulder to lean on, I feel there’s someone who really care for me. Hoping na sana ‘wag nang matapos ang araw na ‘yun.&lt;br /&gt;But anyway, sabi nga nila, All things has changes, all that present will become past. We need to move on. Kahit mahirap, kahit malungkot, we always know that there is happiness in our heart. Kahit na magkalayo tayo, we know each other that… our mind, our thought and ideas are always meet somewhere else.
