kinsa man na si roy sir enz.

Roy is Ayessa.

Ug suko jud ang tawo, the best cure jud is sitting alone and reading the bible.

Read the Psalms. And contemplate on your choice of words. And your ill-will towards others. Allow the Holy Spirit to come to you and realize and recognize your actions on others.

That is the best cure. And afterwards, maybe fix yourself chai latte with English crackers.


Keep your mind cool, and calm. A calm mind stirs good debate and friendly camaraderie, a hot tempered and angry mind stirs dissent.

It seems to me that some members are bitter and pointing out flaws out of other members. *sigh*
Is that not crab mentality? Is that not hypocrisy?

The irony of the situation.

To answer your question, Roy, if you don't like the threads and are not part of the conversation nor do you want to be part of the conversation, don't involve yourself in the conversation.

If you find faults in this forum. Then you have the right to impose a 'self-ban' on yourself. And leave if you want.

No one is forcing you to stay.

That is called 'free will'.


God Bless~

It was a good thread, perhaps in this thread we can continue the discussion albeit without the demeanor as the last thread.

Dear Amy,

Congratulations on your pregnancy, and my deep congratulations as well to your husband, Gary!

A baby is a blessing from God on High. My happy prayers, congratulations on your happy family. May the Lord God continue to shower you and your family with grace and happiness~

God Bless.

This is a message to everyone:

We should all be respecful to other peoples sexual preference, gender, politics and the lot despite different points of views.

However,  one should ultimatley evade in pursuing personal and degrading attacks on other people's character. Be mindful of what you say, as it can hurt other people's feelings. Sensitivity, and humility should always be in primacy.

God Bless all of you.
And remember, be calm, and be cool.

Peace be with you, Roy.

May the Love of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Let us be calm and cool down.

Entering the country under a lawful status simply means getting your child's birth certificate to be apostilled and legalized by the US Embassy, considering the child will be regarded as a 'Natural Born American Citizen' despite the location of his birth, due to blood relation to an American parent.

What they will do is write a legalized and American Embassy-authenticated document that states and declares that the US Embassy has read over the birth certificate and verified that the child is an American citizen and has the right to return home to the United States of America. And as dictated in the interior page of a US PASSPORT, It clearly states:

"The Secretary of State of the United States of America hereby requests all whom it may concern to permit the citizen/national of the United States named herein to pass without delay or hindrance and in case of need to give all lawful aid and protection. "

Children presently outside the US can obtain US citizenship if five requirements are met.



   1. The child must have one US citizen parent, whether by birth or naturalization;
   2. The US citizen parent must have resided in the US for at least five years, at least two of which must have been after age 14, or have a US citizen grandparent who meets this residency requirement;
   3. The child must be under age 18;
   4. The child must be residing outside the US in the physical and legal custody of the US citizen parent; and
   5. The child must be temporarily admitted to the US in lawful status and must maintain that status until taking the oath of citizenship



The custody requirements discussed above also apply in cases of children living abroad.

When the child is residing abroad, the following must be submitted in making the application for citizenship:



    * Form N-600 or N-643 (depending on whether the child is biological or adopted);
    * Photos of the child;
    * The child’s birth certificate;
    * Evidence of the US citizen parent’s citizenship (birth or naturalization certificate);
    * Marriage certificate (if applicable);
    * Evidence of termination of prior marriages (if applicable);
    * Evidence of US citizen parent’s (or grandparent’s) residence in the US;
    * Evidence of the child’s lawful admission to the US and continuing lawful status;
    * Evidence of a final adoption (if applicable);
    * Evidence of any name change (if applicable)



If the child’s parents are divorced, evidence of legal custody needs to be provided.  If the child is an adopted orphan, evidence of this needs to be provided.  Finally, if the child was born out of wedlock, evidence of legitimation needs to be provided.

The application can be filed before the child enters the US, but the child must be present in the US to take the oath of allegiance.  The application can be filed with any INS district office.  Along with the application, the parent can request specific dates for the oath, but should allow the INS at least three months to adjudicate the application.

Again, I reiterate,

As an American to another American, please go straight to the US EMBASSY and have documents ready to be apostilled and authenticated.

It's simply constitutional:
CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
1790 First Congress, Act of March 26th, 1790, 1 Stat. 103.

"And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond the sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens: Provided, That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States".


God Bless~

No.

The Roman Empire collapsed due to multifactorial causes:

1. A corrupt political system that did not operate properly as compared to the Age of Augustus, Tiberius, Hadrian, Trajan, Diocletian and other Great Emperors.

2. Over-taxation of the Empire. Overtaxation lead to the rise of sentiments, yet at the same time, Taxation was necessary in order to maintain the day-to-day operation of the massive corporate venture that was the 'Roman Empire'.

3. Continuous warefare. Rome did not experience peace for more than 50 years in its days of existence. It warred openly with the Gauls, Germanians, Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Dacians, Thracians, Sassamids, Arabs, Slavs etc. Due to its operations abroad lead to the overstretching of its military and thus necessitating the need to tax the citizenry.

4. Corruption from within.


Rome did not fall due to a mere individual. It was the political, economic and social climate within the Empire and in the City of Rome itself that led to the fall of the Western Roman Empire.

Please not that Rome did not just 'FALL' in one day. The fall of Rome was a gradual process that took years to occur. And even then, only the Western Roman Empire fell. The Eastern Roman Empire, founded by Constantine the Great continued on to live until the 15th century AD. Under a new name: The Byzantine Empire.


Cheers.

we can only afford Bronchos (Italian) and some choppers...we depend so much on "barang" and "wak-waks" to fight any foreign invaders, if they want to risk their lives hehehehe

Due to the fact that the Republic is composed of islands and no continuity; and due to the heavy dependence on naval transport for day-to-day operation, this is translated into a weakness in terms of military affairs. In the game of war.

As an archipelagic nation, the Philippines' top military priority should be naval prowess and power. To properly and definitely enforce the nation's territorial claims and repudiate foreign claims/threats, it should have an able surface fleet. (at least to include 1-2 destroyers, 5-10 corvettes, 2-3 frigates, and a contingent of missile/gun patrol boats).

The first line of defense the Republic has is its navy, segundum to that is its air force (and at the moment; it is a shell of its former self). Tertiary to that is the infantry.

Military modernization should be one of the top priorities for the Philippines. But due to Manila's dependence on America's Military Alliance, has forgone the need to modernize efficiently.

Quite frankly, there is no excuse why a nation of some 90 million cannot afford 10-20 F-16s and purchasing new frigates for the surface fleet.

Holy Scripture is not only a holy book, whose words eminated through the influence of the Holy Spirit, but its words are subtly perfected. The language utilized, through parables, songs, history, and life-related lessons are timeless; they have been read and applied to the lives of Christians from the first time it was compiled by the Early Church Fathers to the resulting centuries then-after.

Even if it means just giving 20-30 minutes of your time in your day to open the Bible, read a verse, it translates in opening yourself to the Word of God. Through which the Holy Spirit's presence within us is definitely realized.

Sacred Scripture complements and completes Sacred Tradition.


Through Christ Our Lord.
God Bless~

To even be realistic, Glacier, if the Chinese did invade the Kalayaan group, the batallion or so of PHiippine marines would probably be expelled within a week; or die fighting.

Let us analyze the situation IF America was not our ally.

The situation would go like this:

1. China invades Kalayaan group
2. Philippine forces defend--but have no anti-air capability
3. The Philippine Air Force, composed of Huey helicopters and old 1950s / 1960s propeller planes would be shot down by Chinese Migs.
4. With the loss of any air fighter, there is nothing to stop China's bombing of Philippine urban centers: eg, Manila, Makati, Quezon, Cebu, Tagbilaran, Davao, Cagayan De Oro, Puerto Princessa.
5. Philippine Army tries to send reinforcement to Kalayaan via support ships.
6. Chinese air units strafe and sink Philippine surface ships and support ships including army units since there is no air force
7. Manila will sue for Peace.



That, is a national catastrophe that I pray will never happen.

lol, we don't even have an air fighter. The PAF deactivated the F-5 Tigers.

We are flying old 1950s fighters and using training planes as  our primary defense fighters.

A nation of 85 million cannot even afford to purchase decent fighters for its air force.

It is so clearly obvious how the Philippines needs American alliance. Without the alliance from America, there really is nothing the AFP can do to stop an air attack.

I mean, what are we going to fight them with? Huey Helicopters?

We don't even have an air-defense grid.

I'm sorry, Glacier.

My condolences.

Yes, that too. Perhaps, the United States will donate some of its F-18s and F-16s and F-15s to the Philippine Air Force.

Uncle Sam need only to 'donate 60 or so of these fighters to the PAF.

And the PAF would have the strongest Air Force in ASEAN.

The JSF (F-35) is the model that will replace the American F-16 Fighting Eagle. The JSF 35 serves as an attack fighter, these are built to attack and pummel military bases, and surface ships.

The F-22 RAPTOR is designed as a 4th generation Air Supremacy Fighter. It will replace the F-15, which will be phased out soon.

There is no fighter in the world that can contend with the F-22. Russian Migs, Su-33 and Flankers do not have the speed, agility, and firepower as the Raptor.

The Chinese know and realize that they cannot touch Taiwan, so they resort to threats. China resorts to military exercises and games to try to scare Taiwan.

If the Chinese did ever try to touch the Philippines (theoretically), the American response would be quick. The 7th fleet would be dispatched to remove the Chinese and neutralize 'hostile' naval forces.

If the United States dispatches the 7th fleet, this will include AEGIS destroyers a Super Aircraft carrier. Any Chinese ships within a 150 mile radius of the Carrier task group will be labeled a threat to US forces, and as policy dictates, will be engaged.

When the US scrambles its Air Force to action from Guam, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Basilan, any Chinese air units will be neutralized.

The Chinese air force is composed mostly of Su-27 and Mig 21 fighters.

The United States' F/A-22 Raptors will obliterate these from the skies before their radar can even detect the presence of the raptor.



And there is no 'nuclear' response. China knows that America will not nuke first, but it will reserve the right to 'fire back'. If China fires just 1 ICBM to US bases/territories, the United States will unleash an entire volley of ICBMs to saturate and glass China.

As a result, China will maintain conventional military response. To which, it cannot afford to engage the United States.

The adamancy of the Chinese to retake Taiwan (Formosa) falls in line with the dialectics for National Legitimacy. We have to take into consideration that 60 some years ago, the Republic of China headed by Jiang Jieshi (Chiang Kai Shek) was defeated and ousted from power by the communist revolutionary forces headed by Mao Zedong and with the blessings of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The expulsion of the Nationalist forces (under Jiang Jieshi) from the Mainland to the island of Formosa equivocally led to the manifestation of Communism being the political quo of the land. Since then, however, the two states: The People's Republic of China and The Republic of China have been in a state of 'quasi war'.

The Taiwanese government, have time and time again reiterated their independence from the PRC and expressed no interest in joining the mainland, and in augmentation with such dictates, has procurred interntional support for the recognition of Taiwan's Independence and Right to Exist.

The Chinese, however, maintain a 'One China Policy' and have regarded the island of Formosa as a 'rogue province' of the People's Republic of China whose unification will complete the dream of a Greater China. This notion of Chinese manifest destiny has be exacerbated after the British handing of its Oriental Crown Jewel, Hong Kong, to the Chinese in 1997 and after Portugal's acquiescing of Macao to the PRC in following years.

To Beijing, Taiwan's subjugation will legitimize the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) and end the Chinese Revolution with the silencing of the remnants of the Nationalist Forces.  This is why Taiwan is national priority for the Chinese, as its acquisition would not only be economic, but also militarily-beneficial.

Why and how so? We ask.

The answer to this is because Taiwan is a leading economic power in the Asia-Pacific region; the reunificaiton of Taiwan with China will not only strengthen and bolster the Chinese economy, but will also increase China's market and military zone of control. The take over of Taiwan will dislodge American hegemony in the region, as there is a military base in Taiwan and the ports of Taipei frequent the American 7th Fleet.

Second, the military aspect. Currently, Taiwan is a major buyer of American military arms. Most of Taiwan's navy is composed of American-built and designed AEGIS destroyers and Cyclone-class missile frigates; Taiwan also has squadrons of American-built FA/18 Super Hornets, F-15 Air Supremacy Fighters and the F/A-22 Raptor.

Take over of Taiwan will give China direct hands on to American military technology and arms information, to the detriment of the United States. So this is where our questions lie in wake.

Due to the sensitivity of the region and the importance of Taiwan in regards to the hegemony in the Western Pacific, therefore, it relegates primacy and importance for Taiwan in regards to American Foreign Policy. The United States, as the world's Sole Hyperpower maintains an ARC grid that has solidified its military-political hold on the region. Intrinsic to American hegemony is its military bases in Japan (Okinawa: note that the military base in Okinawa is eternal; this is an American right and priviledge as a clause to Japan's total and absolute surrender to American Forces in 1945), military bases in South Korea, Taiwan, Guam and in the Philippines.

Taiwan is of strategic importance to the United States Armed Forces in that it provides refueling stations for the US Pacific Fleet(s). Taiwan provides continuity between US forces in Japan and Korea to its military bastions in Basilan (Philippines) and in Guam (the Reach-base for US Fleet). The loss of Taiwan will debilitate American power parity and projection to the region at hand, so, therefore, it is of American strategic interests to keep the PRC in its reclamatory dreams of Sinic Manifest Destiny.

The Philippines, falls in line in regards to Taiwan due to the American presence in the archipelago. The shear volume of US Naval Forces in the Pacific is hard to fathom. The United States Navy has an arsenal of 18 Super Aircraft Carriers (2 more are under construction), and a majority of US Carriers are in the Pacific. Note that a US carrier does not travel alone, but is surrounded by a contingent of Subs, destroyer escorts, frigates, cruisers and support ships. A good estimate would be around 8-9 US carriers around the Indian-Pacific Oceans at any time. The Chinese, which do not have a solid navy nor do they have a blue-water fleet to contend with the United States' untouchable Fleets will not touch Taiwan. As it does not have the power to reclaim it. And its actions are under the ever-scanning eyes of the Untied States Armed Forces.

Please not that China's Combined Navy is not even equal to the United States' 7th Fleet.

The United States has multiple Fleets.

Welcome to Tubag Bohol, Thessie.

Question lang, kaila ka ni Jan Palaca?

Welcome, Aduy.

I had Italian last night.

Sarap.

lol, Datz, you're quite the character, bud.

To answer your question, tho, wet dreams is the layman's term for NO (nocturnal emmission).

This anatomically and physiologically normal.

Bad spirits and the like are not involved in day-to-day anatomical processes.



sige, thanks for making me giggle, tho.

lol, if you want to get into the specifics, Datu, I will answer your question.

Women, in general, have a higher defense mechanism. An example is their high levels of IgG (which is responsible for receptor mediation) and these levels are high during pregnancy--where the maternal-fetal immunity corresponds. The mother's IgG levels will diffuse through the uterus and enter the fetus--thereby providing a defense mechanism for the 'unexposed/pure' fetus in utero.

In medical studies, it has been observed that women have higher defense mechanisms and a higher immunity level; thus leading to a longer life span for the genotypic woman (XX) as compared to the genetic male (XY).

Men and women will be affected by viruses, bacterium in a randomized situation; if we follow Hardy-Weinberg standard. The thing we should ask is, "who is affected more?"
As men and women, being homo sapiens, and interaction is inequivically obvious. (through oral communication and/or sexual cohabitation).

A normal woman who is not immunocompromised has a higher defense mechanism as compared to the male. So even if they are targetted by retroviruses and parasitic bacteria, have a potent primary,secondary and tertiary defense mechanism.



Cheers.

Sylvanus,

Powerful statement.

God Bless You too, Tita Tess~~

Always,
Bran

Sleeping is necessary and dark rooms are necessary for th facilitation of sleep. We need REM sleep (rapid eye movement) in order to really rest our brains and bodies. When you close your eyes, you shut out external visual stimuli that keeps the midbrain: (reticular formation, pons, medulla, medulla oblongata) preoccupied.

You need rest, you need REM sleep so that your Reticular Formation can work properly.

Otherwise pathologic conditions can occur.


So, sleep well. And award yourself your night's rest after a long hard day of work/studies.

I don't have a mole, Tita. Salamat sa Ginoo sa Langit.

Pero, just for you, I will draw a beauty mark on my lip.

When asked to comment, AIG bigwigs said "their hands are tied" to the contract they signed with their employees.  It's just so mind-boggling that some people are shameless to accept a so called bonus when they failed their job to the point of having to seek for help from the federal government.  And it is more mind-boggling that AIG, where people trust their money, can have a contact with their employees or contractors or agenyts to give bonus irregardless of how the company was managed. tsk tsk tsk  Unya, they got bonus technically from the people's money na intawon ang mga katawhan nga foreclose ang ilang balay unya wala man gani mag bail out sa ila. 

Kong Japanese pa ning mga tawhana, nag hara kiri na sa ka ulaw sa gidangatan sa ilang company.

'Hands are tied' is almost like selling their souls to the devil.

It is really disgusting how these invididuals can sleep at night. Knowing that millions of Americans are in economic woes and thousands of families in hardtimes. While they, the CEOs and Execs enjoy luxury yacht trips, private planes, golf games.

Fossil fuel is the root causes of all these woes. China without Oil to run their giant economy will suffer a meltdown in its factories. They been scrambling oil all over special in African countries.

They've courting countries with known oil reserved and invest in the form of infrasture to swap for oil.

Spratly Island will become a splash point of conflict between ASEAN Nation and China due to its claimed on some island.

American thru the VFA agreement can help if incase, We need American Military intervention.

Kalooy nato patabang napod tas Americano. Morag bata ba nga kon awayon magpalaban dayon.

Rest assured, Mr. Rald, that the United States will stand shoulder to shoulder with the Philippines in any foreign military affairs regarding the integrity of the Philippines. I have friends that are in service of the US Armed Forces and am friends with officers in the US Military.

The bond between US and Filipino militaries is a growing one. It is not only historically relevant, but to the American perspective, it is of political, military strategic importance.

The Chinese may wave their ships, and utilize gun boat diplomacy, but they will not dare fire the first shot. And they know this.

Because even if the Philippines is outnumbered and outgunned, it will still defend its own territory. In the larger geo-political scheme of things, will only be detrimental to the Chinese. American military response will be definite. And global press will see the Chinese as the aggressor.

This can result in economic woes for the Chinese.

The Philippines is a strategic ally of the United States; and due to this relationship, the Philippines is covered by the American Nuclear Umbrella. And thus, is 'Untouchable'.

The point is; The strength of a woman is not to be underestimated.
And the love of a mother--should always be recognized.


Am I right?

In a medical perspective, a large mole is also a clinical sign of a benign tumor.

Have this checked to proper specialists: oncologists; for proper action.

When a benign tumor becomes malignant, the cancer will spread. Systemically.

Prevention is better than treating the condition.



Take care.

American Citizenship is unique.

Let me explain to you this predicament. A child can acquire citizenship through 2 means:

1) Birth
2) Blood Right

Birth: If a foreign citizen gives birth to a child in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, that child, though born to foreign citizens, is automatically an American Citizen. By Right.

Blood: If a child, born to either a mother who is an American Citizen or father that is an American Citizen, is born abroad and beyond the mainland United States, its territories abroad, will acquire immediate American Citizenship. That child, though born abroad, will be regarded as a 'Natural Born American Citizen'.

Since you are the father, and an American Citizen, the following constitiutional provisions of the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA applies to you and your child:
1790 First Congress, Act of March 26th, 1790, 1 Stat. 103.

"And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond the sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens: Provided, That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States".



1855 Act of February 10, 1855. Section 1, 10 Stat. 604.

"All children heretofore born or hereafter born out of the limits and jurisdiction of the United States, whose fathers were or may be at the time of their birth citizens thereof, are declared to be citizens of the United States; but the rights of citizenship shall not descend to children whose fathers never resided in the United States."


Your child is an American Citizen, like yourself. Simply go straight to the UNITED STATES EMBASSY in Manila and this should be clarified via an American Document that will be Apostilled and Authenticated and Legalized.

If the United States recognizes this, and I am definite of this, all other nations will recognize.



Cheers.

Please refer your questions to the US Embassy.

If you have a child born to American citizens, though the child was born abroad, will automatically be a citizen of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:

1790 First Congress, Act of March 26th, 1790, 1 Stat. 103.

"And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond the sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens: Provided, That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States".



1855 Act of February 10, 1855. Section 1, 10 Stat. 604.

"All children heretofore born or hereafter born out of the limits and jurisdiction of the United States, whose fathers were or may be at the time of their birth citizens thereof, are declared to be citizens of the United States; but the rights of citizenship shall not descend to children whose fathers never resided in the United States."


As I said before, go straight to the Embassy of the United States of America if you are having any difficulty. They will answer all your questions and situations you may have. United States Citizens, if having difficulty and problems in the Philippines, should go straight to the US Embassy.

Good Luck.

We delivered our presentation on Hormones (water soluble and lipid soluble) and clinical diseases in relation to pathways discussed.

Our powerpoint presentation/lecture was 67 slides long. About 1.5 hours long. Feels good to be done, lol.

This weekend, more reviews and studies. I'm holding a review session this weekend--so thats pretty much my plans.

Next week, plano ko mo adto sa medical fair. Mo volunteer.

This is my favorite:


Jesus replied, "What is impossible with men is possible with God."
Luke 18:27

For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
-Ephesians 2:10

Hail, hope of the world, Mary, hail, meek one, hail, loving one, hail, full of grace

Hail O singular virgin, who wast chosen to not suffer flames through brambles

Hail, beautiful rose, hail, staff of Jesse:
Whose fruit loosened the chains of our weeping

Hail whose womb bore a son against the law of death

Hail, O one lacking comparison, still tearfully renewing joy for the world

Hail, lamp of virgins, through whom the heavenly light shone on these whom shadow holds.

Hail, O virgin from whom a thing of heaven wished to be born, and from whose milk feed.

Hail, gem of the lamps of heaven
Hail, sanctuary of the Holy Ghost

O, how wonderful, and how praiseworthy is this virginity!
In whom, made through the spirit, the paraclete, shone fruitfulness.

O how holy, how serene, how kind, how pleasant the virgin is believed to be!
Through whom slavery is finished, a place of heaven is opened, and liberty is returned.
O, lily of chastity, pray to thy son, who is the salvation of the humble:
Lest we through our fault, in the tearful judgment suffer punishment.

But may she, by her holy prayer, purifying from the dregs of sin, place us in a home of light

Amen let every man say.

Ave mundi spes Maria, ave mitis, ave pia, ave plena gratia.

Ave virgo singularis, quć per rubum designaris non passus incendia.
Ave rosa speciosa, ave Jesse virgula:
Cujus fructus nostri luctus relaxavit vincula.


Ave cujus viscera contra mortis foedera ediderunt filium.
Ave carens simili, mundo diu flebili reparasti gaudium.
Ave virginum lucerna, per quam fulsit lux superna his quos umbra tenuit.
Ave virgo de qua nasci, et de cujus lacte pasci res cćlorum voluit.


Ave gemma coeli luminarium.
Ave Sancti Spiritus sacrarium.

Oh, quam mirabilis, et quam laudabilis hćc est virginitas!
In qua per spiritum facta paraclitum fulsit foecunditas.


Oh, quam sancta, quam serena, quam benigna, quam amoena esse virgo creditur!
Per quam servitus finitur, posta coeli aperitur, et libertas redditur.
Oh, castitatis lilium, tuum precare filium, qui salus est humilium:
Ne nos pro nostro vitio, in flebili judicio subjiciat supplicio.


Sed nos tua sancta prece mundans a peccati fćce collocet in lucis domo.
Amen dicat omnis homo.

Place In This World

The wind is moving
But I am standing still
A life of pages
Waiting to be filled
A heart thats hopeful
A head thats full of dreams
But this becoming
Is harder than it seems
Feels like im
Chorus:
Looking for a reason
Roaming through the night to find
My place in this world
My place in this world
Not a lot to lean on
I need your light to help me find
My place in this world
My place in this world

If there are millions
Down on their knees
Among the many
Can you still hear me
Hear me asking
Where do I belong
Is there a vision
That I can call my own
Show me im

Looking for a reason
Roaming through the night to find
My place in this world
My place in this world
Not a lot to lean on
I need your light to help me find
My place in this world
My place in this world

To Visit the Holy Land.

To visit Bethlehem, Galilee, Jerusalem. 

Thank you for your kind words, Tita Tess, it is by the Grace and Love of Our Lord Jesus Christ that I am doing fine in studies and on overall work related and life related routines.

How are you doing? I trust Germany is getting warmer?

This week is getting to be tough, we're reviewing for our 3rd set of exams; I had class earlier this morning and afternoon. Then dressed up to do my weekly visitation at St. Bernard's Hospital with some other students.

Relaxing for a bit, then meeting up with Sid to review our presentation on Hormones for tomorrow's Biochemistry class. (We're actually going to be teaching/presenting hormones in regards to the neuro-endocrine system).

Fun stuff.

What's going on, Tubag Bohol?

(English Translation):

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

Oratio Ad Sactum Michaelem



"Sancte Michael Archangele, defende nos in proelio; contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium. Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur; tuque, Princeps militiae coelestis, satanam aliosque spiritus malignos, qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo, Divina Virtute in infernum detrude. Amen."

I draw strength from My Lord My God.

I live in confidence with Psalm 27:1
"The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?"

haha, Glacier. Average ra ko, pre.

Ang best sperm si Adam. Siya gud ang Papa sa tanang tawo.

Mourning! My Ninong passed away two days ago. He's like our second father (my Tatay's best friend). Remember my Ninang passed away last month.  Kalit kaayo iyang kamatayon. Nisunod lng sa iyang asawa.

Tatay Tanciong Libay, May You Rest In Peace.

Angie, I am very sorry to hear of your family's loss. I will include Mr. Tanciong Libay in my prayers. Mo light ko ug candle para niya. Take it easy, Angie.

May Our Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on the soul of the late Mr. Libay. God Bless Him.


Take it easy, Angie.

This is why we should always exalt the Name of the Lord
For whose name is worthy of praise, besides The Lord Most High?
Whose hands made the Expansive Universes by mere command.
Whose own Love and Mercy--that he sent His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ
To be the ultimate and perfect sacrifice for Man's Sins.

It is obvious that Our Lord God Loves Us.
He has given the measure, provided us with means of salvation, and has surrounded us with His Angels.

We are made to suffer. We suffer because Adam and Eve fell from Eden.
That is why we anguish in pain since birth, and till our last breath before Death claims us. We suffer because it reminds us of our Original Sin.

We Suffer because it reminds us of the Love of Our God.
That God Most High came down from Heaven To Earth.
Became Man, and SUFFERED and DIED For Us.

Do you all not understand that beauty? The message of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who comes in the NAME OF HIS FATHER IN HEAVEN?

He suffered for US!
He DIED for US!

Our present sufferings pales in comparison.

God Bless You All!!

Isn't it so funny that it is only after tragedy or when one feels lost/anguish/pain that many Christians go to church to seek solace and comfort in the House of God?

How much would our Loving Father In Heaven would love it if we all would go to church and visit His House and listen to His Words not only on sad/trying times. But also when we are happy, encouraged, feeling justified.

Because Our Lord God is Always Good. Everyday. Anyday.

It is only in times of pain and anguish do we, Sons and Daughters of Adam and Eve, that we seek The Most High. In grave times, do we realize our own mortality. Our individual finiteness.

i brought my kid to stay with his grandparents in PI. immigration at ninoy aquino airport 'forgot' to stamp his passport upon entry so now the burden is on me to get proof that he entered the country legally. im going about that right now. anyway, then the issue came up of his citizenship to stay there. everything ive read, even the constitution of the philippines, says he would be a naturalized filipino citizen because his mother is a filipino and he also has an NSO Certified birth certificate but because I am his father and a US citizen, that he also has us citizenship. he has a US Passport. however, the people my inlaws have spoken to at the Dept of Foreign Affairs in PI are trying to say hes only a US citizen and has overstayed in the Philippines. I took him there in November. i cant trust what they say at DFA because ive been told some people are corrupt and only want money. does anyone have any info on this or has been through this ordeal in the past?

Majinite,

Please take your son with you to the US Embassy in Manila and talk to them about CROBA. Since you are an American Citizen, your son, falls under the American Oversees Act. Even if your son was born to a Filipina mother (and citizen), due to the fact that your son shares your blood--American Blood--he is automatically an American Citizen.

If the DFA is giving you hard time, go straight to the US Embassy and talk and channel your questions/concerns to the American Liaison in Manila.

Regarding US Citizens, go straight to the US Embassy.

God Speed.

That is the best equation in life, Ellen.

Simple yet articulate
Humble yet knowledgeable
Silent yet eloquently conscientious

My sincere condolences to the late Mr. Taray.

On behalf of the Lucino Family.

Rest In Peace, Mr. Taray.

Hello Dong,

Thanks for sharing to us your thoughts about your family in Pintuyan.  I felt the same when I saw the video of my sister and her husband when they took a vacation two years ago. Although I know most of the people in the video but it's still so exciting to see how they look now.

Mao bitaw, Ate Ging. Lami lagi if we can go to Bohol or meet up didto pohon.
