Mayon Volcano

2009-12-22T01:38:00.000-08:00

There are 37 volcanoes in the Philippines, of which 18 are active. Among them, Mount Mayon, with 47 eruptions since 1616, is the most active one. Mont Mayon is located on Luzon Island, 500 km (310 miles) south of Manila, the capital city. From July to October 2006, the 2,462-meter high (8,077-foot) Mayon volcano, which is located in the central Bicol region (Island of Luzon), spewed ash and lava sending about 30,000 people away from homes. In 1993, Mount Mayon's eruption killed 79.

Behind the beauty of the Mayon, is its fearing condition of a near eruption. On December 20th, the alert level around Mount Mayon was raised to number four on the five-point scale used by geologists (level four means an eruption is imminent while level five means an eruption is in progress). Over the past 24 hours, the volcanic activity increased, with 222 volcanic earthquakes reported. On December 20th, the no-go zone was extended and troops were called in to forcibly evacuate if necessary those people living within the 10-kilometer restricted area. Since December 14th, Mount Mayon, Philippines' most active volcano, has spewed ashes, burning mud and rocks, leading the local authorities to order the evacuation of 50,000 people living in the 10-kilometer (6-7 miles) danger zone around the volcano.

Praying for those people near in the said volcano is one we can do for them. Their safety and ample convenience in their evacuation centers are essential for their survival. We can do it for them!

Review on Visual Design Characteristics and Usability

2009-07-25T04:06:00.000-07:00

Visual design is indeed an important factor on web design. It adds beauty and appreciation to a web site as it enhance its visual appearance. The aesthetic or being artistic of a web design is only one of those characteristics that a web site must possess. On the other hand, usability will greatly adds value to a web site.

The article mentioned Jakob Nielsen, a usability guru that have traditionally expounded that web sites should be usable, not pretty. I agree. I understand his point that it is on the “usability” criteria as seen in his view. Usability factor make a site functional, yes, and it is the “usability” of a site that makes it essential and worthy. For what is a site if it is not useful? But, accordingly, what is a site if it is dull? Unexciting or dead? While, usability is important, the visual design makes the site a “mark”. And this mark will help a site memorable and establish a focal point for where it will be known.

For best results, as the phrase entails… all the essential characteristics that a web site must posses, must be present. Therefore, balance of “form and function” is important. The site must establish and maintain usability in many aspects, and at the same time, the site must also have a good visual design.

What is Love?

2009-05-29T21:01:00.000-07:00

We think about it,

sing about it,

dream about it,

and lose sleep worrying about it.

When we don't have it,

we search for it;

when we discover it,

we don't know what to do without it,

when we have it,

we fear losing it.

It's a constant source of pleasure and pain

but we can't predict from one minute to the next,

which could be today.

We love our parents,

our brothers and sisters,

our boyfriends and girlfriends,

our cats and dogs,

our comfortable shoes

and our baseball gloves.

Love

- It's a short work,

easy to spell,

difficult to define,

impossible to live without.

Admiration for gemstone is part of our personal life. A somewhat fulfilling appreciation to the beauty of nature that created undisputable jewels that made earth a precious one. Sapphire gemstones are one of its evidence.

History proved that over centuries sapphire gemstone are recognized for their beauty. The ancients from the land of Persia believed very strongly that our Earth; a rotund ball has its resting place in a giant sapphire. The prized ones among the gemstone sapphire are deep blue in color and it was his color, which led the ancients to believe that vast sky above us its color.

There are variety of sapphire gemstones color, but only red is not included for it would mean it was a ruby. The gemstone is like a rainbow present in color of almost every hue, it occurs in colors ranging from very light to dark blue to violets-blue, bluish-green, yellow, slightly reddish-orange, brown, nearly opaque black, colorless, pink and violet.

Sapphire basic material is known as Corundum, which is a colorless material, formed from aluminium oxide. The color blue results due to the addition of titanium and iron during the formation of the sapphire crystals. Crystals of sapphire are found as hexagonal bi-pyramids. Raw sapphire gemstones are usually water-worn, which gives them the appearance of miniature barrels.

Sapphires are said to give peace of mind, tranquility, happiness and spiritual enlightenment. It also symbolizes sincerity and faithfulness, and is an execellent choice for an engagement ring. When Prince Charles gave Princess Diana a sapphire engagement ring, couples all over the world were inspired to revive this ancient tradition.

Speeding

2009-05-29T19:42:00.000-07:00

"This story is one of inspiring yet a sad love story I just read a while ago..."

(A girl and guy were speeding over 100 mph on a motorcycle)
Girl: Slow
down. Im scared.
Guy: No this is fun.
Girl: No its not. Please, its to scary!
Guy: Then tell me you love me.
Girl: Fine, I love you. Slow down!
Guy: Now give me a BIG hug.
(Girl hugs him)
Guy: Can u take my helmet off and put it on? Its bugging me.

In the paper the next day: A motorcycle had crashed into a building because of break failure. Two people were on the motorcycle, but only one survived.
The truth was that halfway down the road, the guy realized that his breaks broke, but he didn't want to let the girl know. Instead, he had her say she loved him, felt her hug one last time, then had her wear his helmet so she would live even though it meant he would die.

"How do you find the story? I think the guy's decision to save his girl's life is a matter of sacrificing his own... and a true love existed."

Advantages of Laptops

2009-05-08T04:54:00.000-07:00

The number one reason why people buy laptops is because they can take it anywhere. If you constantly have to go on trips, a laptop will be very useful. Your own laptop will have all your e-mail, software’s, presentations, sales material etc. You can store all of this and much more information that you constantly need, on your laptop without any problems.

Laptops are compact. The single laptop contains, your monitor, CPU, speakers, keyboard, mouse and everything else a normal computer contains. If you do not have place at home or have little space on your office desk. If your situation is such that you do not have space to accommodate another computer, then it would be good to go in for laptop.

In India, once in a while the electricity still does fail. A laptop is kind of a desktop computer and a in-built UPS. It can be charged with battery and it will stay on so long as the battery has charge. So, if you act wisely, and keep your laptop charged, you will never have the problem on not being able to work on your laptop because the lights have gone.

Firstly, laptops are cool! But that not a good enough reason. A laptop also gives credibility. If you go for a presentation with your laptop, then that gives a good impression to the other party. So, if you are trying to convince people that you are a big player and it is worth dealing with you, presentations given on laptops might help you a little.

The invention of laptop is very useful, and I found it true. It washed the disadvantages of personal computers in many ways, and I know you too proved this right!

Do Not Walk Under a Ladder!

2009-05-01T00:24:00.000-07:00

The more popular saying is "it is bad luck to walk under a ladder." That's under why many people do not walk under it. But there is obvious and sensible explanation to the saying. The underside of a ladder is, in fact, a very dangerous place. If you walk under a ladder, you can hit it, causing the ladder to fall on you. It is more dangerous if someone is actually climbing the ladder. He may fall, he may drop things he is carrying on your head.

There is a logical explanation if something bad happens to a person after he has walked under a ladder. A person who is foolish and careless enough to walk under a ladder is also not careful in doing other things and that person may probably do other mistakes, an absent-minded can be.

Don't Judge the Drink by its Container!

2009-04-30T20:22:00.000-07:00

Which is more important to you, a drink's taste or its container? Believe it or not, there are people who judge a drink by its container. Drinking coffee from a flimsy styropor cup, for instance, is a no-no for people who like hard, sturdy cups.

Researchers Ardnna Krishna (University of Michigan) and Maureen Morrin (Rutgers University) found out that people may be classified into strong autoletics and low autoletics, depending on their sensitivity to touching things. Strong autoletics like to touch things a lot before they buy them; low autoletics have much less interest in touching objects.

Participants in their sturdy were blindfolded and given sturdy and flimsy cups to handle. Suprisingly, the strong autoletics did not really let the type of cup influence their taste evaluations. Rather, the low autoletics were the ones who gave low taste evaluations for the beverage in the flimsy cups. The low autoletics were also the ones who were willing to pay more for the beverage in a firmer container, even without seeing or touching the container beforehand.

Studying Bible is being made easy to people by resources or materials provided for us, such as this book entitled Learn to Study the Bible (40 Bible Study Methods) by Andy Deane, which contain the step-by-step methods to help us discover, apply and enjoy God’s words. As I’ve read the sample chapter of the book, I initially figured how clear the author enumerate and explain each steps to let readers easily adopt it, and I found it great. One of the steps I really agreed was this; “carry your favorite verse with you”. Why? It is because, “that” verse can be our life’s guide in our everyday interactions. Having a favorite verse also, will show that you hold a key or something precious within this blessed earth we lived in. Life is full of questions, and answers are provided but people must have courage to seek for it – for the Bible is where the answer hides.

Taylor Swift

2009-04-24T03:09:00.000-07:00

One of my favorite singer is Taylor Swift. She was very good and I always like to listen to her songs. My favorites from her songs were "Our Song" and "I'd Lie". Her songs and styles were very fitting to my moods and also to many teenagers. At the of 19 she possessed a nice talent in music that catch many people's interest...including me. She play guitar and piano and it is nice to know that she was a songwriter too. Absolutely, I'm a fan of her!

Why does a cat rub its head against your leg?

2009-04-21T01:20:00.000-07:00

A cat has special scent glands found in different parts of its body. These include the cat's chin and around the eyes. When the cat rubs its head on you, it rubs off its scent on you. This is its way of marking you to claim you as "his". This is the cat's way of showing its deep affection for you. That's also why you will notice that when the cat does this, it seems to be in a loving and contended mood.

Foreign Borrowings in American English

2009-04-21T00:51:00.000-07:00

“I can’t decide whether to have chowder, chile con carne, or chop suey for lunch,” said Mark.

“I had pizza yesterday,” remarked Tom, “so I think I’ll eat hamburger today.”

“There’s one thing on the menu I’m sure I don’t want, and that’s squash!” Mark exclaimed.

“A couple of those chocolate cookies,” said Tom, “will be fine for dessert.”

Only part of the words in their conversation had their beginnings in England itself. Many of the words that the boys used were borrowed from other languages. The words whether, have, think, yesterday, eat and today are some of the real English words in Mark and Tom’s conversation.

When Mark used the word decide, he was borrowing from Latin, where the word meant “to cut down.” To decide on something, one “cuts off useless thinking.”

From Brittany, on the north coast of France, comes the term chowder. The fishermen there used a big pot in which to cook fish and biscuits. Each fishermen tossed part of his catch into the pot. The name of the pot was soon given to the food cooked in it, so from the term of the cooking pot we have the word chowder.

Another word from the French is dessert. Their word for this pert of the meal meant “clear away.” Dessert is something that is served after the dirty dishes have been “cleared away.”

The word menu also comes from the French. Menu is French means “a small part.” The meaning probably refers to the fact that the separate details of the meal are listed.

Chile con carne comes from the Spanish language. So does the word chocolate, which was taken from a Mexican Indian word for the cacao tree. Their word for chocolate meant “bitter-water.” If you have eaten unsweetened chocolate, you will agree that the term is a descriptive one.

From Italy, in the southern part of Europe, we get pizza. The term chop suey is from Chinese. Their word for this dish means “odds and ends”. Do you know the ingredients of chop suey? Find a recipe and see how many things go into the making of this dish.

Hamburgers seem to be truly American food, yet they are named for the city of Hamburg in Germany. The word hamburger has no connection with ham.

Our forefathers shortened the Algonquin Indian word, askutasquash, to plain squash.

In speaking of cookies for dessert, Tom used a word from the Dutch. Their word koekje meant “little cake.”

These are only some of many foreign borrowings as people spoke English.

In-TEA-resting!

2009-04-20T02:17:00.000-07:00

Check this out pals! Interesting facts about tea...

* Tea is the second most consumed beverage in the world, playing second fiddle only to water. It is in almost every culture, and there are literally thousands of varieties.

* Tea is often said to be traced back to a Chinese Emperor, Shen Nung who live over 4700 years ago. Although this is likely not true, the earliest record that confirms the cultivation of tea is dated to the 4th century China. Drinking tea leaves steeped in a tea pot did not become popular until the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and modern tea drinking is about the same age.

* Tea contains about 50% less caffeine than coffee, making it a great alternative to those that are sensitive to caffeine intake. Tea can also be made to be decaffeinated as most of the caffeine is released in the first few minutes of the steep.

* Until the nineteenth century, solid blocks of tea were used as money in Siberia. Who would believe that tea blocks were used as currency!

* White Tea has a higher anti-oxidant level than green tea, making it superior in it's ability to boost the immune system and heal the body.

* There are four main types of tea which are, white, green, oolong, and black, all which are born from the same species of plant.

* Camellia sinensis is the scientific classification for the tea plant.

* China is the birthplace of tea and gives to us some of the finest varieties of white and green teas. Although China is the origin of tea, surprisingly, it is not the world's largest overall producer of tea.

* Tea is a natural source of fluoride that can help protect against tooth decay and gum disease.

* An average of three billion cups of tea are consumed daily worldwide.

Tastes good, tastes interesting... While tea is traditionally people's favorite, it is nice to know more about it! :)

Are you a Coffee Drinker?

2009-04-19T01:09:00.001-07:00

I love coffee so much everyday it is included in my breakfast. I know drinking coffee have good and bad health effects so that I am interested knowing more about it. Here's what I read from Reader's Digest.

Evidence suggests that coffee drinkers have a lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, gallstones, Parkinson's disease, cirrhosis and certain types of cancers. Hundreds of compounds, including antioxidants, seem to be responsible for coffee's many protective benefits. A Harvard study revealed coffee drinkers had a lower risk of dying of cardiovascular causes than nondrinkers. A Norwegian study found that a typical serving of brewed coffee is richer in antioxidants than a serving of blueberries, raspberries, or many fruit juices. Coffee might help the mind as much as the body. One study found that sleep-deprived rats were much calmer simply after inhaling the scent of roasted coffee beans. Still, many dietitians recommend drinking in moderation – only one or two cups of coffee a day and without the added whole milk and sugar (which jolt only the waistline). If you drink much more than that, the caffeine can dehydrate you or raise your blood pressure. Pregnant women should limit their intake as well, since coffee can boost the risk of miscarriage.

It is better to know and be aware of your health, start with the basic.

A Poem about Friendship

2009-03-18T10:01:00.000-07:00

Follow Me

Take my hand and follow me
to that place I long to be.
Take my hand and trust my way,
in that place forever stay.
Follow me toward the sand;
we'll run and play, hand in hand.
Take my heart and hold it true;
forever I'll stay close to you.
Seize my words and listen well,
then forever I will tell.
Release your heart and feelings too,
just as I will do for you.
Trust your heart and follow me,
to that place we long to be.

Add Fragrance to Your Life

2009-03-13T05:15:00.001-07:00

I like colognes and perfumes because it adds up beauty and excitement to your personality. Nature is the primary producer of natural and fascinating fragrances, and these scents bring the spirit of nature’s marvels. In relation to this, I like the smell of nature… more specifically, the fruits. So that, colognes and perfumes that I choose had fruity smell, but note, it is picky to teens like me, to choose gentle or light scents of these fruits when it comes to perfumes or colognes, meaning not that gave strong scent. For me, I also like refreshing scents, like those colognes or perfumes that when you smell it, it helps you feel fresh and cool. The selection of these fragrances must fit your personality and also thinking the people who may smell you. So enjoy adding Scent to your personality.

Dogs have ESP

2009-03-07T02:25:00.000-08:00

London, England. Is your dog waiting at the door when you come home - even when it's not your usual time to arrive? Perhaps your dog can "read" your mind. Two British researchers videotaped Kane, a Rhodesian Ridgeback, over a four-month period, while his owner came home at different times. At the end of the study the researchers found that nine times out of ten Kane was looking out the window while his owner was on her way home. Although some scientists doubt this proves dog's psychic abilities, dog owners may feel otherwise. Source: National Geographic World.

So dog owners, watch your dog's moves...its interesting to figure this things out. Me too, I have a dog, and I often notice that my dog usually waits us at the corner street near in our home!

All Because You Kissed Me Goodnight

2009-02-24T18:32:00.000-08:00

I climbed the door and opened the stairs
Said my pajamas and put on my prayers
I turned off the bed and crawled into the light
All because you kissed me goodnight.

Next morning I woke and scrambled my shoes
Polish my eggs and toasted the news
I couldn’t tell my left from my right
All because you kissed me goodnight.

That evening at last, I felt normal again
So I picked up my mother and called the phone
I spoke to the puppy and threw Dad a bone
Even at midnight the sun was still bright
All because you kissed me goodnight.

This poem is so fantastic. It was nice and funny, and i appreciate its creativity. Even though it is of anonymous authorship, I admire this poem and its author. Great!

Flower Meanings

2009-02-14T01:37:00.000-08:00

Daffodil’s have meanings of faith, honesty, truth, forgiveness, and forthrightness. They are ever vigilant in returning each spring, and with their return we are reminded that their beauty is capable of following on the shirttails of even the harshest winters (or tribulations). Give daffodils to someone when as a token of forgiveness or give them away as a token of appreciation for their honesty.

Lilies are the flowers of the spiritually advanced. They are also the totem flowers of mothers (especially new ones), fertility and nurturing. Lilies are also appropriate flowers to present during weddings as they are symbolic of unions, partnerships, and long lasting relationships. Give lilies to new mothers and brides-to-be; share the symbolism of these beautiful blossoms with them, and watch their faces light up with delight.

Rose meanings vary according to color. On the whole, however, roses are symbolic of deep love, concentration, intelligence, balance, and passion. They are also sometimes seen as a message for healing, revitalization, rejuvenation and courage. Roses are very complex in their features, and so therefore have complex meanings. More than just Valentine’s Day favorites, roses bear the mark of honor, devotion and intense commitment on many levels. Give roses only when you are serious about your intentions.

Sunflower. The way they move their massive heads to meet the sun make them a flower of spiritual attainment, flexibility, and opportunity. They are also symbolic of good luck, wealth and ambition. Give sunflowers away to someone who is working toward a goal and needs a big break in their lives. They are also an excellent housewarming gift as the receiver embraces new opportunities in the form of hearth and home.

Tulips are also voracious sun seekers (like the sunflower) and will sway their heads in crazy contortions seeking out the best angle for light. This makes them a symbol of opportunity, adjustment, advancement, and aspiration. They are commonly thought to represent attainment of spiritual awareness too. Because they are from bulbs, and return every year (like the daffodil) tulips are symbolic of resurrection and determination.

May these flower meanings helped you to know which one matched you. Indeed, flowers are nature's beauty, and they have their great essential impact to humans.

Chocolates' Dark Secrets

2009-02-12T04:04:00.000-08:00

Chocolate was introduced into the United States in 1765 when cocoa beans were brought from the West Indies to Dorchester, Massachusetts.

Cocoa butter is the natural fat of the cocoa bean. It has a delicate chocolate aroma, but is very bitter tasting. It is used to give body, smoothness, and flavor to eating chocolate.

Hawaii is the only US state that grows cacao beans to produce chocolate.

In Hershey, Pennsylvania, the streetlights along "Chocolate Avenue" are in the shape of Hershey Kisses.

It's a common myth that chocolate aggravates acne. Experiments conducted at the University of Pennsylvania and the U.S. Naval Academy found that consumption of chocolate -- even frequent daily dietary intake -- had no effect on the incidence of acne. Professional dermatologists today do not link acne with diet.

One plain milk chocolate candy bar has more protein than a banana.

Pet parrots can eat virtually any common "people-food" except for chocolate and avocados. Both of these are highly toxic to the parrot and can be fatal.

Ten percent of U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance of iron is found in one ounce of baking chocolate or cocoa. Chocolate also contains Vitamins A1, B1, B2, C, D and E as well as calcium, potassium, sodium and iron.

The American Heart Association recommends that daily cholesterol intake not exceed 300 mg. A chocolate bar is actually low in cholesterol. A 1.65 oz. bar contains only 12 mg! A one oz piece of cheddar cheese contains 30 mg of cholesterol - more than double the amount found in a chocolate bar.

The botanical name of the chocolate plant is Theobramba cacao, which means "Food of the Gods."

The theobromine in chocolate that stimulates the cardiac and nervous systems is too much for dogs, especially smaller pups. A chocolate bar is poisonous to dogs and can even be lethal.

The world's first chocolate candy was produced in 1828 by Dutch chocolate-maker Conrad J. Van Houten. He pressed the fat from roasted cacao beans to produce cocoa butter, to which he added cocoa powder and sugar.

Amazing, it help me a lot to know more about may favorite... chocolates!

Valentine's Day Trivia

2009-02-07T19:58:00.000-08:00

Valentine Traditions and Superstitions

Ancient Romans honoured the goddess Juno on February 14th. Juno was the Queen of the Roman Gods and Goddesses. The Romans also knew her as the Goddess of women and marriage. The following day, February 15th, began the Feast of Lupercalia.

In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear these names on their sleeves for one week. To wear your heart on your sleeve now means that it is easy for other people to know how you are feeling.

Some people used to believe that if a woman saw a robin flying overhead on Valentine's Day, it meant she would marry a sailor. If she saw a sparrow, she would marry a poor man and be very happy. If she saw a goldfinch, she would marry a millionaire.

Some people said if you found a glove on the road on Valentine's Day, your future beloved will have the other missing glove.

Some believed the first man's name you read in the paper or hear will be the name of the man you will marry.

Pick a dandelion that has gone to seed. Take a deep breath and blow the seeds into the wind. Count the seed that remain on the stem, and that is the number of children you will have.

Or, cut an apple in half and count how many seeds are inside, you can also tell how many children you will have.

Healing Foods

2009-02-03T01:29:00.000-08:00

As I’ve researched, according to folklore, these foods are good for you. Now some scientists agree.

Cranberry Juice is good for urinary-tract infections. The juice inhibits a type of bacteria that clings to the wall of the bladder and causes infection.

Carrots are good for your eyes. Carrots and some other fruits and vegetables contain beta-carotene, which can reduce the chance of eye disease. One carrot a day can help prevent mascular degeneration, which eventually leads to blindness.

Chicken Soup fights congestion that comes with a cold. Chicken has amino acid that thins the mucous lining of the sinuses, relieving stuffiness.

Garlic and Onions can kill flu and cold viruses.

Fish is good for your brain. The mineral zinc is found in fish and shellfish. Studies show that even a small deficiency of zinc impairs thinking and memory.

Blueberries fight the bacteria that causes diarrhea.

Bananas are a natural antacid. They soothe heartburn.

Spinach is good for your spirits. It contains lots of folic. If your body doesn’t have enough folic acid, you may feel depressed.

Eat Onions to fight insomnia. Onions contain a mild natural sedative called quercetin that will help you fall asleep.

2009-01-23T22:41:00.000-08:00

It's twelve o'clock in the midnight,
Seems that everything feels not right.
I reach for something to catch some light,
Then my nothing but empty room turns bright.

I saw myself starring at the ceiling,
There's nothing but just old white plain thing.
"Just like myself", as I thought,
"Just idle spaces between these walls."

I can't explain why tears kept flowing,
I saw myself find it hard to stop sobbing.
I'm longing and waiting for the dawn to come,
So I can wipe these tears away somehow.

As I see the sun starting to unblind,
I stood up from my bed and forged a smile.
Another day of false happiness I brought to life,
Another sword of loneliness stabbed in my heart.

This poem was given to me by my lovable friend. It pictures the real sadness of a heart which is in her. From the poem one will figure the feeling of the author as she writes it so heartfelt.

Death-Stalker Scorpion

2009-01-17T20:16:00.000-08:00

Found in North Africa and the Middle East, its name says it all. Although its stinger is not particularly large or strong, a sting from this, the most toxic scorpion in the world, causes unbearable pain, fever, coma, convulsions, paralysis and death.

So be careful and warn your self whenever you may see this creature. Remember the poison it had. Actually scorpions are really scary and it is good to be well-informed to their characteristic.

Toxic Terror!

2009-01-17T19:59:00.000-08:00

Sharp claws and teeth are not the only weapons animals possess. Many creatures use poisons to attack prey or depend themselves. Some poisonous animals store toxins in their glands and inject them into their victims. Other animals produce poisons in their skin. Here is one of them:

Poison arrow frog. Next time you're in the rain forest of Central or South America and you spy this little amphibian, don't pick it up: its skin contains a toxic chemical that sickens or kills any animal that touches or eats it. Two micrograms of its toxin (barely enough to fit on the head of pin) will kill a large mammal - or even a person.

Imagine the terror of this kind of frog's poison, its color is attractive yet behind its look, this amphibian can end a life.

The Tree
by: Karla Agarem

One moment, I reflect to life,
It told me, choosing is only between left and right.
For how you choose always matter to the rule,
But what you choose matters to you by whole.

Two questions arise as to die or live your life,
The fruit of the answer maybe raw or ripe.
Move, take the step towards goals without rage.
Act well your part on and behind the stage.

Tree not three, is the symbol of life,
For three may count only up to three even you wipe.
For tree's leaves may count infinitely,
And for a tree's life may last in numbers untold by many.

My first poem to be published on my blog. "Hope is constant in life, you just ignore it at times."

Do you believe in Angels?

2009-01-14T03:51:00.000-08:00

Everyday "I see" angels. I encounter them, and I know they are angels...because I believe they exists.

Today, as I went to the terminal to go to school, on my way, I see an angel, a very beautiful baby in disguise. The baby looked at me, so very innocent and suddenly a different feeling burst on me. I feel so light, worry-free and lucky at that moment. And that for me, is an "angel" that designated to meet and greet me "for this day".The angel or cherub is a heavenly being, and they are superior to humans. They are said to be the one who serves as an attendant and messenger of God, or a guardian for someone on Earth.

The study of angels is called Angelology. In 1978, over half the people in the U.S. who were asked, said they believed in angels. Angels are drawn on greeting cards, painted on ceilings and mentioned in one of every top ten songs. Angelfood cake, the California Angels baseball team, and the city of Los Angeles (Spanish for “city of angels” ) all show our fondness for and fascination with angels. Whether you are an “angelologist” or not, you'll want to know all about angels.

Unnoticeable maybe you also encounter angels everyday... not winged, not with halos, not bright or glowing, but yet unusual and mysterious, they just come to you, when you least expect them!

Dream Tour

2009-01-13T01:28:00.000-08:00

In life, exploring and learning is inseparable. It is basic that people will learn from different experiences with things, places and people.

Aside from these, appreciation from what you've gained and will be gaining is essential, greatly to know that "something" is important.

One of my dream is to take a world tour! Especially in my own country first... and then, to other countries. One of these countries is France. And more specifically is to see the richness of the great museum of Louvre. One of the reason is that I love art and history so much...and to go to a museum like this is a dream come true if the opportunity will be given to me. Try to visit and explore the museum website, its an online tour and yet you will feel being there in real!

Behind the Black

Color Meaning Black Roses

New Beginnings, Rebirth

Sometimes the darkest red roses are called 'black roses' and while they do symbolize the death of an idea or say farewell they can send a positive message of rebirth and new beginnings.

One of my favorite color is black, and I found black roses to be unique and undefined in its true meaning. As black roses may look negative because of its color, the symbolism of its color is true.

As for every goodbye, and lost of something... there is regaining and moving on. For flowers are blossom of hope and beauty, their colors functions as their other power.

Scootie

2008-12-23T19:35:00.000-08:00

This is Scootie! My scooter.

As my father had his motorcycle, I on the other side had my scooter. Before it was in color red, but it was repainted in dark blue, and for me it looked nicer!

I value this scooter of mine, although in our town, new model motorcycle, shinier and in posh, I will never let my scooter be exchanged.

This is my "service" vehicle when I'm going to our shop in the market everyday. I'm in duty of taking over assistance and handing some works in our computer shop, and working is attached with learning indeed.

Our New Motorcycle

2008-12-23T19:22:00.001-08:00

Yeepee!

How glad we are... when our father bought a new motorcycle. Actually it was in an installment payment, but affordable!

This motorcycle will be our "service vehicle". As my father said, it will be used to bring us our respective schools. My youngest sister in her elementary school, my sister who is the third among us, currently in high school... and last but not the least, I and the second among us, in the jeep terminal... it is because our school in college was indeed far from our hometown and we need to ride a jeepney to go there.

Every day, this motorcycle work to serve us. My father also use this as his "service vehicle" to go to our shop in the market. It was an "internet cafe".

Before our motorcycle go on with it duty, it was finely cleaned by my father to make it look shinier and always "new" to everyone's eyes. Indeed, it was in a great care of my father and us too.

Appreciation

2008-12-23T19:12:00.000-08:00

I love arranging and cleaning our "home" everytime I have the opportunity. .. (: Yesterday, I beautify our home, especially the living room, also because Christmas is near, and visitors will be coming to us.

Indeed, I appreciated its result. My being tired was blown away when I see how great was having a clean and beautiful home. This is only a "simple" achievement, yet a great fact of contentment in life and appreciation of a simple life.

Laundry at Weekend!

2008-12-23T18:39:00.000-08:00

Ready, get set, go!

It's a weekend laundry marathon!

Why it's marathon? It is because our laundry had stocked. We didn't be able to have our laundry earlier because we're busy, so it took some days before we do it, as a lump sum work! Its tiring but we enjoyed working together.

At the picture, is my sisters. At the left is my sibling younger than me, she was the second among us. At the right is my youngest sister. The're enjoy working together isn't it? Wondering where am I there? I'm the photographer at that time! :)

My Treasure

2008-12-23T18:27:00.000-08:00

I love music!

This instrument was one of my dreams before. And it was before Christmas of 2007 that my uncle bought me this musical keyboard. That moment, my happiness was immeasurable. Now, I sometimes play my favorite songs in it. It is because, I often had busy schedule and it is because I prioritize my study at a great extent... :) During my free times, I let myself play my keyboard, relax and calm. I found peace everytime my hand plays my music. This is one my treasure, not physically a gold or a gem, but inside is a very precious dream.

A Weak Warrior

2008-12-05T03:14:00.000-08:00

Once I dreamt to be warrior. An ambitious and unrealistic dream of a fellow... Since when I was a child until now, I love anime and fantasy warriors. I love watching them in movies, looking them in posters and others. A strong woman warrior who is fighting for right and restoring a stolen peace. A graceful warrior, an ordinary person who at a time of need transforming in an immortal.

What a fantasy! A usual story of an anime series, comic or movie. But this dream was still in my lists. It never vanish. Even its possibility of bein' real is not absolute, in my imagination it is "always" possible.

I know, one time in my life, before everything will end... I, yes I am... I will be a warrior. A warrior for my family... a warrior for my countrymen... a warrior for the poor... a warrior of love and equality. I do not dreamt of a hero, I just dreamt of a fighter... not knowm by many, but known by few. I may not be wearing a metallic costume with coat or sword... and my only weapon is my faith and principle.

I do not want to be politician to fight and promise to people anything... I just planned that when I have my opportunity and power, I will help Philippines, my country. For behind the image of this country seen by negotiators and businesspeople... a world of unequality is unseen.

For now, I am weak. I do not have enough strength and armor to sustain the need of my fight. I easily lose. But, time once said to me that, "I will have my powers and resources, if my fight begin."

Man does not Live by Bread Alone

2008-12-05T01:17:00.000-08:00

What is it that makes a person live? Is it simply food, the physical nutrition and the digestion process?

Man does not live by bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. Meaning, physical nourishment is not sufficient for a healthy life, men also have spiritual needs.

If our body and soul are complements, therefore we must feed both for us to live and function. Our body may function in a healthy condition as we feed it by the foods we eat, but how about our soul? And what is that food for our soul? It is the “word of God”, interpreted in the creations, scriptures and teachings of the church.

These spiritual things became our spiritual needs, because abiding in God’s love lead us to live peacefully, happily and everlastingly, teach us what we must learn in this so-called life and give us strength and courage to do our duties as humans on how to improve our living… and this is the purpose of God’s words. As our life is a gift from God, and what we do with that life is our gift to God.

Love is Blind

2008-12-05T00:02:00.000-08:00

Why does there is a expression “love is blind”? Isn’t it that it is one of the most common and also the most popular expression of love? One time, I’m always thinking about the situation of lovers ignoring certain negative characteristics of one another, which is the most common illustration of how love becomes blind.

I tried to apply it in my own life, not be being in love with a special man but more specifically to my family. I love my family so much that I cannot see such things that we lack in other families. I love them for what hey are most especially in they own way of how family is being defined. It is the matter of loving them not by seeing but by feeling

There’s no need to prove if love is really blind. Why? Beside that science has proven it, it is simply because it will not be known and accepted by most people if it is not happening and if it is not proven. Therefore, love is blind because it happens.

Seeing is Believing

2008-12-04T23:53:00.000-08:00

Do you believe everything that you see? Does what you see is enough for you to believe?

“We believe whatever we want to believe” as Demosthenes said. Thus seeing is believing if it is a man’s choice that he will not believe unless he will see it. Another is that, it can be appropriate if seeing is the last option remaining for you to believe what’s in a doubt.

It is in a case to case basis that we affirm or we deny it. Why does we believe that there’s wind? Why does we believe in God even these two cannot be seen. It is because there is the so-called faith in us.

If “seeing is believing”, it doesn’t mean a command or a law that all things must follow. Yes, we may believe whatever we see; it may be enough but may also be not enough. Thus seeing is believing indeed, but seeing is not “always” believing because it depends.

Our eyes given the capacity to see pictures, happenings and details help us gain evidences not for “what” we must believe, but the things is “which” we must believe. Our eyes are only one of the agents of our mind through believing. We must bear in mind that the eyes cannot perceive everything we must believe.

Do You Have an Empty Well?

2008-11-28T19:55:00.000-08:00

When the Well Goes Dry

So many times my well is dry - I can't count.
This is how I refill it. By the Love of My Father.

Sometimes we feel empty with nothing left inside.
We try numerous things to keep our sanity and pride.
We try buying trinkets’ that bring us joy for awhile.
But it never last for long and neither do the smiles.

Then we try a drink or two, only deadening us for a time.
So we try many other things that used to fit us fine.
But nothing seems to help when our well inside goes dry.
We are filled with emptiness with a heart that only cries.

I don’t know what you do then, but I go down on my knees.
And ask God to refill my well and ask for his reprieves.
He holds me in HIS arms and fills the depth of me.
So I again can give to others to help with their pleas.

Fill that well with the love of God and you will make it through.
You’ll bring many others with you; it’s what we’re told to do.
Get on your knees and pray to him and fill your empty well.
Your untold strength will be renewed, much more than I can tell.

Did you know...?

2008-11-22T15:39:00.000-08:00

TUGUEGARAO CITY - A five-petal flower, believed to be the only one of its kind in the world and endemic to this province's rainforest, was unveiled here earlier this week.

Without roots, stems or leaves, the flower, named Rafflesia leonardi, was discovered last May by a multi-sectoral group with the aid of Agta tribesmen at the remote Sitio Kinapawan in coastal Lallo town, three hours from this bustling northernmost capital.

But the flower's formal unveiling, according to Perla Visorro, president of the Cagayan Valley Partners in People Development (Cavapped), was only made Monday after almost six months of laboratory studies and research by local and international botanists to further determine and prove its rarity.

The flower, which takes nine to 10 months to fully bloom but starts to wilt after around seven days, was named after Filipino botanist Leonardo Co of Conservation International, who confirmed it as a new species of Rafflesia five months after the flower's discovery.

The flower, which is around 1.5 meters in diameter and only thrives in the rainforest here, was discovered some 300-700 meters above sea level within the Kinapawan forest of the Sierra Madre mountain range.

Visorro said the new species, whose features are similar to R. lobata and R. manillana, was the fourth Rafflesia species found in Luzon and eighth all over the country.

However, among the world's Rafflesia species, the Rafflesia leonardi is the only one with a diaphragm.

I think that this flower is very pretty. Isn't it nice that this rare flower can only be found in the Philippines? I would like to see one myself and eventually plant one in our garden. Wouldn't it be nice?

everybody, but me...

El Misterio de mi Pintura

2008-10-25T23:07:00.000-07:00

The Mystery of my Painting

What is mystery? In simpler terms, it is a secrecy, an unknown...

One time, I've tried to make a masterpiece... I'm very enthusiastic to make a painting. I put my art materials in my study table, my water color and a recycled cardboard.

I started to hold my brush, touched it in color brown in which it will draw the bark of a tree. Actually I do not use pencil, just water color instead without any knowledge how to paint. :)

My first piece is a tree beside a rice field, which pictures a simple and peaceful place in our province in which I live. The picture here, is my second painting, entitled "Alone". Actually this one is my most-loved painting of mine. I was surprised when I finished this painting, I can't imagine that I did it!

Until now, the meaning of this painting is a MYSTERY, even for me. What is known is only my faith. And for what is unknown is what other things pushed my hand to made it... of what I think at that time and what I feel, which form the image of my piece.

Could it be a true story?

2008-10-22T04:44:00.000-07:00

Will it be someday be in reality?
