LGU Philippines / Re: Mayor Lim ends SP honeymoon
October 31, 2007, 07:34:34 AM
Wow, 20M supplemental budget?  Excuse my stupidity but is their a budget for the supplemental budget?  If yes, is it available to the people to check?  Also, was there a reason given by Vice Mayor Toto Veloso why he was withhelding the release of the supplemental budget?  Just asking please.

Talk of the Town / Re: Judge sacked for immorality
October 31, 2007, 07:20:51 AM
These victims should be interviewed well why the are recanting their statements and if proven that they were paid to recant their statements, that should be an added offense against the judge or whoever is involved.  It's good to remind these public officials that they are not above the law.  They should behave accordingly and appropriately not just in public places where they can be seen but always.

Belle, you don't have to say it.  See in your heart and they are just there reciding. 

Kabalo mo, ma istorya ta man jud ni hehehe, pwera joke oi, when I was still working like crazy sa una sa bank, one day I felt that I couldn't feel God's presence in my heart anymore.  Di ba sometimes when we are sad or happy, we felt like HE is there being sad or celebrating with us but that time jud, I couldn't feel His presence.  I really panicked.  I dropped everything and went to a peaceful place away from the hustle and bustle of the city.  Adto ko sa Monastery of Transfiguration sa Malaybalay.  I didn't pray.  I just slept and slept then I felt His presence back in my life.

I heard mga painters like you and da vinci (hehehe) even if you are sad, maka communicate mo sa inyong emotions thru your work.  Ayaw lang pod palabi ha na pareho na dayon da vinci na putlan iyang ears then i paint dayon nya iyang self looking at the mirror kay mudagan nko ana. hahahah

God bless to you too Precious!  May you wake up one day and print all your comments in the threads here where you got yourself into trouble and read it objectively like it's somebody else's words then ponder on it.  And if you can't find that precious time of yours, maybe you can ask a friend or two - Filipino or non Filipino and see what they think of your behavior.  I am no saint either, I know that.  I reacted as I should just have had continued laughing when I read your tirades in the thread about us marrying foreigners.  I should just have had reacted like dot, with graceful composure but I didn't.  I let you ruin my day.  Sad to say, you brought out the worst in me and it's not your fault.  I succumbed to the evilish temptation of your impolite, mean and rude words. Mea culpa.

speaking of Bill Gates, here's a forwarded email I received today:

Bill Gates organized an enormous session to recruit a new Chairman for
Microsoft Europe.

5000 candidates assembled in a large room. One candidate is MARIO
DIMACULANGAN.
Bill Gates: Thank you for coming. Those who do not know JAVA may leave.

2000 people leave the room.

MARIO says to himself, 'I do not know JAVA but I have nothing to lose if I
stay. I'll give it a try'

Bill Gates: Candidates who never had experience of managing more than 100
people may leave.

2000 people leave the room.

Mario says to himself ' I never managed anybody by myself but I have
nothing to lose if I stay.
What can happen to me?' So he stays.

Bill Gates: Candidates who do not have management diplomas may leave.

500 people leave the room.

MArio says to himself, 'I left school at 15 but what have I got to lose?'
So he stays in the room.

Lastly, Bill Gates asked the candidates who do not speak Serbo - Croat to
leave.

498 people leave the room.

MArio says to himself, ' I do not speak one word of Serbo - Croat but what
do I have to lose?'
So he stays and finds himself with one other candidate.
Everyone else has gone.

Bill Gates joined them and said 'Apparently you are the only two candidates
who speak Serbo - Croat, so I'd now like to hear you have a conversation
together in that language.'

Calmly, Mario turns to the other candidate and says `unsa ma na, dong'

The other candidate answers 'ambot, bay..'

Inspiration & Hope / Re: Something to appreciate
October 30, 2007, 12:11:26 AM
Read and internalize the Desiderata, especially the third stanza:


Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.


Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.


Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.


Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.


You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.


Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.


With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
