How can we be lovers if we can't be friends
How can we start over when the fighting never ends
Baby, how can we make love if we can't make amends
How we can be lovers if we can't be,
Can't be friends

Look at us now, look at us baby
Still tryin' to work it out
Never get it right
We must be fools, we must be crazy
Whoa, whoa, when there's no
Communication
Whao, Whoa, it's a no win situation


CHORUS:


We lie awake, this wall between us
We're just not talking, we got so much to say
Let's break these chains, our love can free us
Whoa, Whoa, ain't it time we started tryin'
Whoa, whoa, gotta stop this love from dying


CHORUS:


Baby, love is tough but we can take it
Baby, times are rough but we can make it
We can work it out

The Penintent Thief: A Model of True Repentence


Many people look at the broad fact that the penitent thief crucified with Jesus was saved in the hour of death, but examine no further (Luke 23:39-43). They do not look at the distinct and well-defined evidences of repentance that fell from his lips before he died. Those evidences deserve our closest attention.

The first notable step in the thief's repentance was his concern about his companion's wickedness in reviling Christ. "Do you not fear God," he said, "seeing you are in the same condemnation."

The second step was a full acknowledgment of his own sin. "We indeed are just in condemnation. We receive the due reward of our deeds."

The third step was an open confession of Christ's innocence. "This man has done nothing amiss."

The fourth step was faith in Jesus Christ's power and will to save him. He turned to a crucified sufferer, and called Him "Lord," and declared his belief that He had a kingdom.

The fifth step was prayer. He cried to Jesus when he was hanging on the cross and asked Him - even then - to intercede for him.

The sixth and last step was humility. He begged to be "remembered" by our Lord. He mentions no great thing. Enough for him if he is remembered by Christ.

These six points should always be remembered in connection with the penitent thief. His time was very short for giving proof of his conversion. But it was time well spent. Few dying people have ever left behind them such good evidences as have been left by this man.

Nicodemus, A seeker of God




Nicodemus was a Pharisee and a leader of the Jewish people. He was also a member of the Sanhedrin, the high court in Israel.

He stood up for Jesus when the Pharisees were conspiring against him: Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who was one of their own number, asked, "Does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing?" (John 7:50-51, NIV)

He helped Joseph of Arimathea take Jesus' body down from the cross and lay it in a tomb, at great risk to his safety and reputation.

Nicodemus also donated 75 pounds of expensive myrrh and aloes to anoint Jesus' body after Jesus died.

Nicodemus' Strengths:
Nicodemus had a wise, inquiring mind. He was not satisfied with the legalism of the Pharisees.

He had great courage. He personally sought out Jesus to ask questions and get the truth directly from Jesus' mouth.

He also defied the Sanhedrin and Pharisees by treating Jesus' body with dignity and assuring that he received a proper burial.

Nicodemus' Weakness:
When he first sought out Jesus, Nicodemus went at night, so no one would see him. He was afraid of what might happen if he spoke to Jesus in broad daylight, where people might report him.

Life Lessons:
Nicodemus would not rest until he found the truth. He wanted badly to understand, and he sensed that Jesus had the answer. After he became a follower, his life was changed forever. He never hid his faith in Jesus again. Jesus is the source of all truth, the meaning of life. When we are born again, as Nicodemus was, we should never forget that we have forgiveness of our sins and eternal life because of Christ's sacrifice for us.

the gangya and the ulu ulu of the Keris

The Keris' Gangya

The gangya serves as the guard of the kris. When a soldier wielding the kris would fight another soldier, it was the gangya of the blade that protected the wielder's hand from the opponent's blade. The design of the gangya was rather rugged , but served a purpose in absorbing the opponent's blows.

another beautiful carving

One interesting aspect of the Keris is the handle, which comes in different colors, forms, and even sizes. Let's take a look at some different handles.

The handle is referred to , in Maguindanaonon dialect, as "Ulu Ulu".



the ulu ulu of this particular keris is a carving of a naga, a mythical snake in old malay mythology.

The Golok is a south east asian variant of the machete, it is of Indonesian origin, tho it is also widely used in the southern philippines. Indonesians call it the "Golok", in the Philippines, however, it is referred ot as the "Gulok".

in regards to the dispatching of the pigs, the use of the kris made sure their deaths were as quick and as painless as possible. with the severing of the aorta, they were dead within 5-8 seconds.

During my birthday, I used a Keris that I had bought from the market to dispatch the two pigs that i had bought.
I asked the butcher if he could use the Keris to kill the two pigs, which he did. Dali ra kaayo mo cut ang keris sa lawas.
The way the keris is designed, it can easily pierce through the rib cage , can also cut through the aorta and the great vessels, rendering the animal dead within seconds.

It has a very clean cut as well. The butcher killed the 1st pig, and I asked to kill the 2nd one. It was quite quick. Gutting the animal via the Keris was quick; from the Manubrial arch to the ventral abdominals, i made a midsagittal cut.

After that, gi limpyo ang tina-e , og gi kuha ang dugo. Gi luto dayon.

Mao ni gi tawag "Panabas"

When I was in Southern Leyte in 2010, as I was walking around the coastline of Panaon Island, Southern Leyte, I noticed that the men who work in the fields use the Panabas to cut through weeds. Weeds as tall as 3-4 feet  can be cut down by the Panabas. I remember walking to one man who was wielding it and asked if i could hold it.

I swung it -- it has a very precise and clean cut. Then I asked the man, "Nong, puydi ba ni maka patay sa tawo?"

Ingon ang tawo nako, "Dong, pwede ni mo hiwa sa lawas sa karabao, kana pa sa tawo..."

The Panabas is a large, forward-curved sword, used by certain ethnic groups in the southern Philippines. It can range in size from 2 to 4 feet and can be held with one or both hands, delivering a deep, meat cleaver-like cut.

In its heyday, it was used as a combat weapon, as an execution tool, and as a display of power. Occasional use as an agricultural and butchering tool has also been noted.


Usage:

While the Panabas is now rare and there are thus no contemporary cases of its use in battle, stories from and prior to the American colonial era describe it as being used for mop-up operations. It is said that warriors wielding Panabas would form a rear guard and, following in the steps of warriors in front, use the panabas to quickly dispatch any survivors. In terms of its function as a weapon, similarities have been noted between the Panabas and the western battle-axe.

Because of its effectiveness at chopping through meat, Panabas was known favored for use in executions. As such, the panabas also came to symbolize a datu's power - a demonstration of his ability to control violence.

The Keris of Sulu, Philippines

The kris or keris is an asymmetrical dagger most strongly associated with the culture of Indonesia, but also indigenous to Malaysia, Thailand and Brunei. It is known as kalis in the southern Philippines. The kris is famous for its distinctive wavy blade, but in the past, most had straight blades.

A kris can be divided into three parts: bilah (blade), hulu (hilt), and warangka (sheath). These parts of the kris are objects of art, often carved in meticulous detail and made from various materials; metal, precious or rare types of wood, or gold or ivory. A kris's aesthetic value covers the dhapur (the form and design of the blade, with around 150 variants), the pamor (the pattern of metal alloy decoration on the blade, with around 60 variants), and tangguh referring to the age and origin of a kris.

Both a weapon and spiritual object, kris are often considered to have an essence or presence, considered to possess magical powers, with some blades possessing good luck and others possessing bad.Kris are used for display, as talismans with magical powers, weapons, a sanctified heirloom (pusaka), auxiliary equipment for court soldiers, an accessory for ceremonial dress, an indicator of social status, a symbol of heroism, etc.

i like it too ...i started using avonex since 2001 Jan. to be exact. first it was rebif in 2000 pero lisod man dad-on uli sa pinas kay taman ra man sa 3-8% C lisod maski dunay coolbox, mao nga akong gipa-alisdan. Thanks God...i have better days pa though i have 2 relapses/year

Thanks for sharing with us you condition, Tita. I do hope that your MS is under control. I notice that you are currently taking Avonex. Here in the 'states, there is another interferon drug that is proven to be more effective than avonex. It is called Interferon beta-1a, also known as "REBIF". It is proven to be more effective towards relapsing MS. As you know it is self injected.

If you have not talked to your M.D about this, perhaps you can ask your neurologist about possibility of switching over to REBIF.

Tell him your friend, another M.D, suggested it might be better. Tell him that your fried, an M.D from Chicago, suggested it because REBIF is proven against relapsing MS. The FDA has noticed through quantitative analysis that REBIF is far more effective in controlling MS than Avonex.


Take care.
Best,
Lorenzo

Lazarus




Lazarus and his two sisters, Mary and Martha, were friends of Jesus. When Lazarus fell ill, his sisters sent a message to Jesus, "Lord, the one you love is sick." When Jesus heard the news, he waited two more days before going to Lazarus' hometown of Bethany. Jesus knew that he would do a great miracle for God's glory and, therefore, he was not in a hurry.
When Jesus arrived in Bethany, Lazarus had already been dead and in the tomb for four days. When Martha discovered that Jesus was on his way, she went out to meet him. "Lord," she said, "if you had been here, my brother would not have died."

Jesus told Martha, "Your brother will rise again." But Martha thought he was talking about the final resurrection of the dead.
Then Jesus said these important words: "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die."

Martha then went and told Mary that Jesus wanted to see her. Jesus had not yet entered the village, most likely to avoid stirring up the crowd and calling attention to himself. The town of Bethany was not far from Jerusalem where the Jewish leaders were plotting against Jesus.

When Mary met Jesus she was grieving with strong emotion over her brother's death. The Jews with her were also weeping and mourning. Deeply moved by their grief, Jesus wept with them.
Jesus then went to the tomb of Lazarus with Mary, Martha and the rest of the mourners. There he asked them to remove the stone that covered the hillside burial place. Jesus looked up to heaven and prayed to his Father, closing with these words: "Lazarus, come out!" When Lazarus came out of the tomb, Jesus told the people to remove his grave clothes

Rameses the Great, Pharaoh of Egypt




When Moses and his brother Aaron got to Egypt the Lord told them what to do.  He said, "Go to Pharaoh and tell him to let the Israelites go.  He will be very stubborn and it will take many signs and miracles before he will let you go; but everyone will know that I am God when he finally frees the Israelites."

So they did what God asked and they went to see Pharaoh.  In front of Pharaoh Aaron threw down his staff and it became a snake (just as God told Moses it would).

Pharaoh didn't look surprised at all, he actually just smiled at Moses and Aaron.  Without a word he snapped his fingers and a minute later three men walked in.  Pharaoh whispered in one of the men's ears, and he nodded and spoke quietly to the others.

All at the same time they threw the staffs they were carrying to the ground and they became snakes, just like Moses and Aaron's.  They turned and looked at each other with disappointment.  They realized that these men were Pharaoh's magicians.

Just as Moses was feeling defeated his snake swallowed up all of the other snakes.  This made Moses smile, surely Pharaoh would let them go now.  But Pharaoh didn't seem to care, he shook his head and said, "Nice try, but the Israelites belong to me, and they work for Egypt I will not let them go."

Moses left disappointed, but excited to talk to God about what they would do next.  After all God told them that it wouldn't be easy.  So when God spoke next, they listened well, "Pharaoh's heart is hard, he's still not going to change his mind.  Go see him tomorrow morning, he didn't listen today but I will continue to show him that I am God." 

With their instructions from God, Moses and Aaron met Pharaoh the next morning.  Aaron explained to Pharaoh, "Because you still won't listen God is going to change all the water in Egypt into blood.  The fish will die, the river will stink, and none of the Egyptians will be able to drink it."

Pharaoh smiled and said, "Go ahead."  So Aaron did what the Lord told him and put his staff into the water and it turned to blood.  Pharaoh seemed a little surprised but he summoned his magicians and they also turned the water into blood. With that, Pharaoh's heart became hard, and he turned and walked back to his palace.

All the fish died, and the water smelled so bad, no matter where you were you could smell it.  Can you imagine turning on your tap at home and having blood come out, what about having a bath, or even the water in your toilet.  Of course the Egyptians didn't have sinks and toilets back then, but they still used water to drink, to make food, and to clean with.

After a whole week of this Pharaoh still wouldn't let the people go.  But his magicians couldn't turn the blood back into water either.  The Lord instructed Aaron and Moses to go see Pharaoh once again and He told them, "Tell Pharaoh to let my people go.  If he refuses to let them go, I will plague the whole country with frogs."

They did as God asked and Pharaoh once again refused to let the people go.  So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt and the frogs came up and covered everything.  They really were everywhere!  In the stoves where they cooked, in their beds, and they even jumped on the people.

The magicians could also make frogs appear - but this would be the last time that their magic would work.  After a day of this Pharaoh couldn't take it anymore and he called for Moses and Aaron.  (He probably didn't get any sleep with frogs jumping all over him!)

He begged Moses, "Pray to the Lord to take the frogs away from me and my people, and I will let your people go."  So Moses prayed to the Lord, and all the frogs died.  But when Pharaoh saw that all the frogs were dead, he was relieved and he hardened his heart and changed his mind.

There were many other plagues that followed:  Gnats and flies, all the livestock got sick and died, the Egyptians were covered in sores, hail came down and killed all the crops, locusts came and ate all the grass and everything green, and then there was complete darkness.  Nobody left their homes because they couldn't even see where they were going.

With each of these plagues Pharaoh said he'd let the Israelites go if God put things back to normal, but then he kept changing his mind.  You'd think he would've learned his lesson and let the Israelites go.  God doesn't give up.

You may have felt sorry for the Israelites during all these plagues, but God made sure they were not touched by them.  Only the Pharaoh and 'his people' the Egyptians went through these terrible times.  The Israelites lived a little ways away, and God kept them safe, and put a pretend wall around them so none of the plagues could come to them.

If you thought all the other plagues were bad, there was one last plague (the tenth plague) that was way worse than any of the others.  The Lord told them, "This will be the last plague on Pharaoh and Egypt, after this they will let you go.  Around midnight I will go throughout Egypt.  Every firstborn son in Egypt will die, even the son of Pharaoh, and there will be great sadness."  Moses and Aaron warned Pharaoh, but he refused to listen.

The Lord had special instructions for Moses and Aaron, so that the Israelites would be sure to stay safe during this last plague.  He told them, "The Israelites must kill their best sheep or goat.  Then they are to take some of the blood and smear it on the sides and tops of the doors on their houses.

On that same night I will pass through Egypt like a ghost and take the life from every first born.  If I see blood on the doorway that will be a sign for me to pass over the house and keep all who are inside safe.

This day will always be known as the Passover, because you were passed over and kept safe by God.  You will continue to celebrate this day for many years."  (Some people still celebrate it today!)  They were also to eat unleavened bread (bread that is flat, not fluffy like we eat it).  This would always remind them of the hurry that they left Egypt in.

Now you have to remember Pharaoh could have stopped all this a long time ago.  God gave him many opportunities to let the Israelites go, but he would not listen.  Unfortunately God had to teach Pharaoh a lesson and He did what He said He would do.

After Pharaoh realized what happened in Egypt he called for Moses and Aaron just after midnight and he said, "Leave my people, you and all the Israelites!  Go worship the Lord as you wanted, take all your animals and get out of here!"  The Israelites gathered up gold and silver from the Egyptians who were glad to see them leave and they left with Moses.

You won't believe what happened next!  When Pharaoh heard that the Israelites had left he changed his mind- again!  He decided to gather an army of more than 600 people and go after Moses, Aaron and all the Israelites.

So as the Israelites were on their way, they noticed in the distance that Pharaoh was coming after them.  They started to get worried and questioned Moses why he would lead them out in the desert to die.  Moses knew what to say, and he told them, "Do not be afraid, God has protected you before, He will protect you again."

When the Israelites reached the Red Sea they were trapped with the Sea in front of them and Pharaoh behind them.  But God told Moses to reach out his staff into the water, and when he did an amazing thing happened.  The water split into two!  The water lifted itself and made huge walls of water (they couldn't even see over it, it was higher than a house).  They would walk on dry ground, which was actually the bottom the Sea.

Pharaoh's army followed them into the Sea, even though some of the Egyptians were afraid, and knew God was with them.  When the Israelites had finally made it through safe God told Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the water goes back to normal, and it will swallow up Pharaoh and his army."

Moses did as God had told him and he reached his staff over the water.  There was a loud crash as the water came back together, and covered the Egyptians.

That was the day the Lord saved the Israelites from the Egyptians.  When the Israelites saw what God had done for them they trusted Him, and they knew that Moses would be a good leader for them as they traveled to the land flowing with milk and honey.

Job, the greatest Bible character,

In the land of Uz there lived a man named Job who had seven sons and three daughters. He owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, and hundreds of asses and oxen. Job was a good man, and he led a rich and happy life.
Now there came a day when all the angels of the Lord presented themselves before him, and Satan was among them. "Where have you been?" God asked Satan.
"I have been roaming over the earth," he answered, for he would go through the world, looking for people who could be turned to evil.
Then the Lord said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one else in the world like him, no one who loves God and hates evil as much as he does."
"He has every reason to love you," Satan answered. "He is a comfortable and happy man. He has everything a man could want. But take away all his riches and his family, and he will curse you to your face."
"Very well," said the Lord. "You may test Job. You may take away everything he has, only do not harm his body in any way."
Soon after, as Job sat by himself, a messenger ran up to him. "The Sabeans have stolen your oxen and asses, and killed all your servants," the messenger cried. "I alone escaped to tell you."
Before the man could finish speaking, a second messenger ran up to Job. "A fire came down from heaven," he said, "and burned up your shepherds and all their sheep. I alone escaped to tell you."
Before the second man could finish speaking, a third messenger ran up. "Three bands of Chaldeans took away your camels, and killed all the men who were with them. I alone escaped to tell you."
Before the third man could finish speaking, a fourth messenger arrived. "Your sons and daughters were eating in your oldest son's house," he cried, "when a great wind came from the wilderness. It blew down the house and killed all your children. I alone escaped to tell you."
Then Job tore at his clothes, and fell to the ground to pour out his sorrows to the Lord. "I came into this world with nothing, and with nothing I shall leave it. The Lord has given, and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord." In all this Job did no evil, and did not curse God.
The next time the angels of the Lord presented themselves before him, Satan was again among them.
"Have you considered my servant Job?" God again asked Satan. "You moved me against him, although he was perfect in every way, and still he follows my words."
"Skin for skin," answered Satan. "A man will give up everything to save his own life. Cause him enough pain, and he will curse you to your face."
"Very well," said the Lord. "Do anything you want to him, but do not kill him."
Soon Job was struck with a painful skin disease. Sores covered his body, from his feet to his head. He sat all day long in a pile of ashes, scraping himself with a piece of a broken pot. When Job's wife saw how he was suffering, she said to him, "What good is your faith in the Lord?" Curse God, and die!"
"You are talking foolishly," Job said. "Are we to take the good things from God and not the bad?" And Job did not curse God.
Hearing of Job's troubles, three of his friends came to visit him. At first, they did not recognize Job. Then seeing his suffering, they wept and tore their clothes. For seven days they sat with him and did not say a word. At the end of the seven days, Job cursed the day he was born.
Job's friends then tried to help him. "Will you listen to us?" Eliphaz asked. "You know God does not punish people for no reason. You must have done something wrong. Seek God out, and ask him to forgive you. God may wound, but he also heals. This is what you should do."
"O, that all my sorrows could be counted and weighed against my misery. Surely, my pain outweighs my mistakes," Job cried. "You say you are my friends, but you do not comfort me. You tell me I have done wrong when I have not."
"Do not go on like this," said Bildad. "God does not make mistakes. Seek him out, and ask his forgiveness."
"Do not think you are without blame," said Zophar, Job's third friend. "God has great wisdom and knows all the wrong things men do."
"You laugh at me," answered Job. "But I know as much as you know, and I know I have reason to complain. I also know God does not hear me and that my friends do not comfort me. I only want to know why God has done these terrible things to me. I have followed God's commandments, I have helped my neighbors and friends. Now they turn from me, and God does not hear me. I must know why."
When Job and his friends had finished arguing, the Lord came to Job in a whirlwind. "What will you learn from your friends? "Come, stand up like a man, for now I shall question you, and you shall answer," said the Lord.
"Where were you when I created the earth, when the morning stars sang together, and all God's children shouted with joy?
"Have you shut the sea in with doors, and said, "Thus far shall you come, and no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stopped'?
"Do you know where the light gathers, and where the darkness makes its home?
"Do you teach the lion to hunt its prey, and does the hawk fly by your wisdom?
"Have you an arm like God, and can you thunder with a voice like mine?
"Will you find fault with the Almighty? First answer my questions, if you would have me answer yours."
Then Job bowed his head, and was ashamed. "Lord," he said, "I am nothing. How can I answer you? I have spoken about things I do not understand. I will put my hand on my mouth, and say nothing more."
God was pleased by Job's answers and knew that Job now understood the power and greatness of the Lord. He told Job to forgive his friends for the way they had spoken, for they did not really understand the ways of the Lord. Then the Lord gave Job twice the wealth he had before. Seven more sons were born to him, and three daughters. Job lived to be a very old man and died happy, full of knowledge and perfect in his understanding.

Yours Truly,
Budingit

ha ha ha, part time blogger diay ni si Budingit?

he he he, this kind of reminds me of a time when i was a 2nd year medical student. our professor of medical biochemistry was lecturing the class on the tca cycle and drawing all the enzymes that influenced the reaction process. he called a classmate next to me and asked him, "what is the name of this enzyme?". the student replied, "i don't know."

the entire class turned their heads and focused on this student, who sat next to me. the student honestly didn't know the name of the enzyme and refused to make an 'educated' guess.

the professor replied back, "good answer."

The PRO-RH Bill caucus is feasting on this and utilizing Mr. Sotto's mistake to make forays in attacking the ANTI-RH Bill caucus at something that is totally irrelevant to the subject matter. Sotto should apologize for his mistake, and take the fight into pressing his inherent ANTI-RH agenda. Move forward!

Did Tito Sotto Plagiarize Robert F. Kennedy's Speech?

Hmmm, he shouldn't have taken the entire speech, but should have paraphrased and then cited Kennedy in the process. This would have saved him the time and headache.

Mr. Daray is right, there are a lot of us who plagiarize without even knowing it, myself included. Og mo post ta'g pictures, or poems, or news, and forget to cite the source via APA format, we are technically guilty of plagiarism. We have to be careful now this day in age because we can get sued for explicitly or implicitly taking what is not ours.  That is why we should cite after referring to an outside source.

Yes, even in a public forum like Tubag Bohol.
