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?

This happened to me when I studied abroad in The Ukraine 3 years ago. I was given entry to the Ukraine, but the immigration officer forgot to stamp my US Passport on entry. When it was time to leave, I had a problem, however, I went with some other students to the US Embassy in Kiev and they personally sent a US Embassy officer to the airport with me and facilitated my exit out of the country. As scheduled.

Go straight to the US embassy if you have any problems.
This problem should be solved quickly.

The United States has a policy called :General Information About a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CROBA).

Simply show proof of evidence that the father of the child is a US citizen at the US embassy-
-show either his US Passport, Social Security Card, US Driverse License, etc.

Best of luck.

The Child is a citizen of the United States of America.

If a child, has a mother or father who is an American; even if that child is born abroad, that child is automatically an American Citizen. By American Blood.

If you have problems, go straight to the Embassy of the United States of America in Manila. This should be facilitated quickly.

US Citizens will be given priority in US Embassies.


God Bless.

that's correct macky...one could not judge by how we look or present... but there is more in inner and deeper substance....

I know a man, an individual who I really admire and look up to. His name is Dr. Dioscoro Villanueva, MD. He is one of South Jersey's leading Cardiothoracic surgeons, and a medical educator. The man is rather humble in stature, talks with humility and passivity, but the words that come out of his mouth is astute brilliance--in what he does.

His actions, his words, though humble, are genius.

When I talked to him and conversed with him, he not only talks to me one on one--face to face, but it seems as if he pierces deep in the conversation.

He has been one individual that motivated me to pursue Surgery.

Nice article. The 'better' sperm is maternal-linked. The viability of sperm is dependent on the amount of ATP-producing mitochondria there are on the neck of the sperm--which is directly involved in the sperm's ability to rip through the corona radiata (a protein barrier) of the woman's unfertilized oovum.

But nice article, tho.

Dong, my friend Melmel just had her surgery last Saturday (already a week now) and she is yet to have chemo theraphy. In '06, two doctors in Cagayan de Oro told her she had breast mass in BIRADS category 4 but when she seeked for third and fourth opinion in Cebu, they said it wasn't something that can not be "dissolved" by medication.  I wonder if the doctors in CDO were right then afterall.

I know that prayers can move mountains and so I pray that you whisper a prayer for Melmel.  Thanks a lot, Dong! 

I love you, too!

Ate Ging

BIRADS (Breast Imaging Reporting and Detection System) levels range, Ate Ging, from level 1 to level 6 from level of severity. Level 4 has a 135.8/1000 bcdr (breast cancer detecting rate). In this level, there is detectable abnormal mass in the patient's breast.
The clinical recommended action includes: biopsy(standard/needle).

I don't understand why she isn't in chemotherapy, 'te. After removal of the tumoric mass as well as the 3 organs, chemotherapy is usually mandatory to hammer at the remaining malignant cells.

Again, I don't know the full entirety of her condition, 'te to give proper prognosis, as I did ask some of my classmates about her situation; we were confused lang why she wasn't given then and now any chemotherapy. That is standard in regarding oncology patients in the 'States.


I will prayer for her, Ate Ging. Yes, you are right. Prayers can move mountains.
There is no such thing as impossibility for The Lord.

Jose, lol! its 2:30 in the morning are you are still up?

Good luck on the progression of your thesis.

It is a pleasure to visit your blog.

Cheers, kapatid.

I have decided that learning, reciting, and teaching lessons on topics covered are better augmented when recording one's self. So I 've decided to post and record core lessons and share it with you guys. This way I can also listen and re-learn later on.

This thread will be a long thread, lol.

All are welcome to share questions regarding the subject matter.

Let us note that the revolution in France, in tandem with the revolution in the United States, totally and completely changed the political atmosphere in Europe. The fall of the age of European Monarchical Absolutism and the Rise of the Republic.

Note, the religious discourse in Neuva Espana also relegates to the Philippines during that specific epoch. Given, Las Islas Filipinas was an overseas territory that belonged to the larger political unity: The Viceroyalty of New Spain.

Eutrophic in Global Lakes
   Throughout the entirety of this paper, we discussed the specific reasons for the cause of nitrogen limited taxa as well as nitrogen fixing taxa, the cause of the growth of phosphorus dependent plankton, the specific reasons for such growth and indices of human activity that correlated with lake eutrophication in the some lakes in the United States, Australia, China, and other states in the world. The necessity to understand the amount of eutrophic lakes there are in the world and in specific parts of the world is indicative to understanding how invasive human development of agriculture, industrial establishments as well as relative human waste effluents (Corson, 267,245-246) has affected lakes as a whole, not just as an individual body.
Currently, the major water beds in the world that are being affected by increase human activity would be The Middle Shannon River in Ireland, Torridge Rive in England, Loire-Allier Rivers in France, Garonne River in France, Camargue River in France, Mira River in Portugal, Gauadiana River in Spain, Ebro River delta in Spain, Oostvaardersplassen River in The Netherlands, Texel basin in The Netherlands, Lower Rhine Delta in The Netherlands, Lake Glomso in Denmark, Novogorod in Russia, Danube River Delta, Volga River Delta, Okavango Delta in Bostwana, Lake Naivasha in Kenya, Lake Edward and George (Beadle, 175), Siwalik Wetlands in India, Bharatpur River in India, Mai Pokhari Wetlands in Nepal, Betwa Basin in India, Rihand River in India, Manipur River in India, Tian Shan in China, Qinghai Hu River in China, the Mekong River Delta in Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam, THE Swan River in Australia, Louyuan River in China, Zenhai River in China, Tai Hu River in China, Qidong River in China, Sheyang River in China, Guanyun River in China, Lianyungang River in China, and Lake Biwa in Japan (Mitsch)

Conclusion
Both Nitrogen and Phosphorus are critical in understanding the growth in biomass within freshwater habitats. These specific indicators are effective in deducing whether or not a particular freshwater habitat is eutrophic or oligotrophic. Considering the fact that Phosphorus is critical for the growth of algal biomass and that varying Nitrogen levels are responsible for the presence of nitrogen fixing taxa; these two limiting factors are pivotal for understanding the eutrophication processes of lakes and other freshwater habitats. The comprehension of the paleolimnology of freshwater habitats is essential in that one can analyze the Phosphorus to Nitrogen levels during the primordial epoch before the advent of human invasive presence and compare those with levels during the era of human colonization and industrialization (Aplin et al, 59-61). The collection of these data provides a better understanding of how industrialization and human activity in different regions of the globe affects the surrounding freshwater habitat via eutrophication.

Happy Birthday, Ate Ging!

Wishing you all the best, in this your day of days.

God Bless and talk to you soon~

Great Song

by Five For Fighting


[mp3tube]183079f8bb736e6057bf54f0061f0a5f[/mp3tube]

Lyrics:

Verse 1)
The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
Your barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah

do do do do x 4

(Verse 2)
I'm open, your closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again

(Chorus 1)
Even the best fall down sometime
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide

do do do do x 4

(Verse 3)
I'm quiet, you know
You make a first impression
I found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind

(Chorus 2)
Even the best fall down sometime
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I Somehow find
You and I collide

(Bridge)
Don't stop here
I lost my place
I'm close behind

do do do do x 8

(Chorus 3)
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find
You and I collide

do do do do x2

You finally find
You and I collide

do do do do x 2

You finally find that
You and I collide

do do do do x 2

Each and everyone of us has been affected and influenced by another individual at some point  and at some time in our lives. The effects have been multifaceted.

Share your experiences. What did you learn in the process? How did this change your outlook? 

Suffering is part of life, but it is through the Grace of The Almighty that continues to strengthen us, encourage us, pick us up, to continue with the burden of our own individual crosses (what so ever they may be).

To suffer and continue in the faith is to be justified. And to be justified, we will be glorified by the Lord God in Heaven. Everything and everyone is By His Grace.

Scripture resounds:

18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19 The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.

22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

-Romans 8: 18-31



God Bless~

This article is correct.

As men age, the rate of division and gametogenesis increases as age increases; this can lead to chromosomal non-dysjunction, which can lead to a mosaic of autosomal recessive/dominant diseases and conditions.

Just be careful.

If both potential mother and father are at risk; it is best to follow the advice/wise counsel of your Gynecologist/Obstetrician.

Make sure to enroll in Gene Testing to see if the child is at risk for certain diseases
-Amniocentesis
-Chorionic Villi Sampling

Bitaw, To Terter and to Elsie,

If you passed your exams; both of you should invest in NYCLEX review and aim to do well on these exams. New Zealand may apply such limitations on entrance due to the fact that they are applying more protectionist policies.

However, I guarantee you, that in the United States of America, this country is in dire need and in shortage of nurses at the moment and in the future.

Apply for spots here in the 'states. This country is in NEED of nurses.

Just keep on posting pictures of Australia, Tita.

Na lingaw ko just seeing the green fields of Australia and the blue skies.

Very pristine kaayo jud ning Australia. Gusto jud ko mo bisita dinha someday.

Yes, Tita. They are my study partners.

They are very good people. Si Job and si Deena--all three of us are also part of the catholic choir in our local catholic church diri.

I thank God everyday for helping me find good friends, and directing us to HIs house to sing his praise.

The Joy of Giving

Acts 20: 33-35 (near end of Paul's 3rd missionary journey, called for elders from Ephesus to meet him)

    a) Sometimes preachers use words like duty, obedience, love, stewardship in an effort to inspire greater giving; sometimes they talk about the evils of the love of money, and they list all the good works that need to be done

    b) All that is fine, but Paul gave a different reason to give: he went back to the example and the words of Jesus, "It is more blessed to give than to receive."

    c) Some of the happiest people in the world are parents and grandparents who love to give to their kids and grandkids

    d) Happy people are not those who have a great deal, but rather happy people are those who give a great deal!

Remember where else we see Jesus using the word "blessed?" Back in the beatitudes in His sermon on the mount, recorded in Matthew chapter 5. Remember what the word "blessed" really means? It's from the Greek word makarios/3107, meaning "blessed, happy!"

2 Corinthians 9:7 "God loves a cheerful giver." The word cheerful is from Greek word hilaros/2431, from which we get the word hilarious. That's when you're just beside yourself with joy and happiness! Our Lord wants us to learn that we will be a lot happier when we give than when we receive!

Mark 10:17-22 Jesus said: You've got to start giving, but the rich young ruler was more concerned with having!

Luke 12:16-21 The rich farmer thought he would be happy because he had a great deal of wealth, but Jesus knew better. Jesus knew the only way for him (and anyone) to be truly happy was to start giving.

Luke 12:15 (Jesus gives the reason for telling this parable)

Happiness comes, true joy comes when one is freed from his slavery to things, when one realizes that joy is not found in having or receiving, but it is found in giving!

This prayer brought me to tears:




Lord Jesus, Divine Physician, who in your earthly life showed special concern for those who suffer and entrusted to your disciples the ministry of healing, make us ever ready to alleviate the trials of our brethren. Make each one of us, aware of the great mission that is entrusted to him, strive always to be, in the performance of daily service, an instrument of your merciful love. Enlighten our minds, guide our hands, make our hearts diligent and compassionate. Ensure that in every patient we know how to discern the features of your divine Face.

You who are the Way, provide us with the gift of knowing how to imitate you every day as medical doctors not only of the body but of the whole person, helping those who are sick to tread with trust their own earthly path until the moment of their encounter with You.

You who are the Truth, provide us with the gift of wisdom and science in order to penetrate the mystery of the human person and their transcendent destiny as we draw near to them in order to discover the causes of their maladies and find suitable remedies.

You who are the Life, provide us with the gift of preaching and bearing witness to the 'Gospel of life' in our profession, committing ourselves to defending it always, from conception to its natural end, and to respect the dignity of every human being, and especially the dignity of the weakest and the most in need. Make us O Lord, Good Samaritans, ready to welcome, treat, and console those we encounter in our work. Following the example of the holy medical doctors who have preceded us, help us to offer our generous contribution to the constant renewal of health care structures.

Bless our studies and our profession, enlighten our research and our teaching. Lastly, grant to us, having constantly loved and served You in our suffering brethren, that at the end of our earthly pilgrimage we may contemplate your glorious countenance and experience the joy of the encounter with You in your Kingdom of joy and everlasting peace. Amen.

The following are prayers that were were forwarded by the CMSA.

I was so deeply touched in reading and reciting these prayers.

So I wanted to share it with you all.

My Mouth Praises the Name of the Lord, Whose Praise and Wonders Endureth Forever.
God Bless All Of Us~

Why Should We Give?

1. We should give because God has given so much to us.

2 Corinthians 8:9

Remember the 2 aspects of the word 'grace'.

    a) Paul shows in this verse a true connection between the two.

    b) God's giving to us is a demonstration of His grace.

    c) God's grace should increase our grace!

    d) Realizing all that God has given to us ought to greatly motivate us to be more giving.

    e) Have you ever been greatly moved or motivated by someone who gave you something special?

    f) How did it make you feel? What did it make you want to do?

2. We should give because we want to be more like Jesus.

http://www.biblelessons.com/giving.html

In 2 Peter 1:5-7, Peter talks about some very important qualities that we as Christians ought to strive to add to our lives. These qualities have often been referred to as the Christian Graces. It seems strange that that particular term is used since the word 'grace' is not found in this passage. But consider the original Greek word for 'grace' and its meaning. Grace is from the Greek word charis/5485, which is found approximately 156 times in the NT. This definition is given by Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon:

   1. That which affords joy, pleasure, delight, sweetness, charm, loveliness

   2. Good will, loving-kindness, favor; of the merciful kindness by which God, exerting his holy influence upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian faith, knowledge, affection, and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues

As seen, there are 2 aspects to grace:

    - That 2nd one was God's grace bestowed upon us (one we usually talk about, as we should)

    - But the 1st part of that definition is also important

    - It is apparently referring to something we ourselves may produce or experience

    - We ourselves may say or do some things that are gracious, things that afford joy, pleasure, delight, sweetness, charm, and loveliness. We can 'grace' other people with good things.

And so how does that fit with these qualities that Peter mentions? If we have these qualities, then we will be the source of graciousness. If we have added to our faith such qualities as moral excellence, self-control, godliness, and brotherly love, then indeed we and those around us will be blessed with joy, pleasure, delight, and loveliness.

Or, as Peter says in v8-11, if we grow in these graces, then we will neither be barren nor useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. He says that these qualities can keep us from falling; they can help us and others make it to Heaven!

Thank you so much, my big little brother Dodong Bran, for your spiritually uplifting kind words!

Dong, my friend Melmel (i fondly call her Meow) had three organs removed over the weekend.  And I was told late last night that there was a pus in her lungs.  What do you have to say about this, Dong? 

Part man ni sa mallignancy of cancer, 'te, it will spread because malignant cells will spread to the lymph nodes and from there--are sent to multiple organ systems. Mao ni gi-removed iyang 3 organs, na affected. I will need to read more into her situation to give a better prognosis.

Pero, cystic formation in the lungs is due to fibrillization, Ate Ging. Polycystic formation can be due to either autosomal recessive disorders, as well as acquired.

Is your friend in chemo-therapy right now 'te?

Be strong, and be firm in your faith, 'te. All we can do now is pray for her, that she can battle it out, and be strong. Whatever God's plan is, let us have comfort that his love for us is imeasurable. Nothing can separate us from the Love of our Lord God--which is given to us through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.


I love you, Ate Ging.

Always,
Bran

Thank you so much for giving blood. Because good people like yourself and Smiffy, blood transfusions are possible.

Thank you, really, thank you!

Lyrics:

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance
I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your head that catch your eyes I have been blind
The lady in red is dancing with me cheek to cheek
There's nobody here, it's just you and me, It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never for get, the way you look tonight

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled, It took my breath away
I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight

The way you look tonight
I never will forget, the way you look tonight
The lady in red
The lady in red
The lady in red
My lady in red

Thanks You Dong Bran, I encourages many Boholano Composers, Song writer to writes music and I will produced it. I'm buying professional musical Instrument and equipments. So Later when I retire from Job, I wanted to produced more Boholano Music.

Del Horest is from Panglao, Bohol. He is professional Singer, composer from Universal Record. He suffered from Stroke but recover and this will be His last album I'm trying to promote in Radio Bisaya in Manila.

Katinglingbang Bisaya Sa MManila, Inc. is an Association of All Bisayan Speakers from Visayas and Mindanao to promotes our languages, Art, Music and Cultures. In which I'm the current President.

Mr. Rald,

I salute you sir for your noble endeavor in promoting the Bisayan language! Sir, it is very important jud to preserve and promote our beautiful language (and the songs).

Fil-Am bisayans, like myself, really appreciate this. It is something that we can listen to, learn from and digest.

This really helps in our 'rediscovering' of our Bisayan cultural roots.

Salamat, Sir.

I downloaded your songs in my ipod.

Guapo kaayo ang canta.



God Bless You, Always!

Quote from: Way Nada on March 12, 2009, 01:40:02 PM
Lorenzo,

I believe and in my opinion because the Philippine media is too licentious in using freedom of the press people tend to believe that Filipino politicians are the worst in the world. They don't know that government officials all over the world are almost the same as our own politicians when it comes to government perks, privileges, dealing with allowances and money matters. The difference is how it is being carried or published by the media. The Philippine media deals too much in the issue of real politik while other countries like for example Australia, Singapore and Malaysia give more weight on the issue of ethical politics in the media.

This is the difference how freedom of the press is being practiced. Some people will come to think that freedom to lie is guaranteed by law in the Philippines. In other countries for example Australia or Singapore the press cannot publish any article that is derogatory to any person without the media having documents to prove its accusation as true. Even if it's true in some instances the media has no right to take pictures on their faces and putting them on TV, that's why their faces are being blurred to protect their privacy. In Australia by law, the press has no right to criticize government departments but because they have a tradition of tolerance they let it some trivial criticisms to have a go. 

The most vicious that the media did to the Filipinos was when they initiated the ouster of Erap. The media was the primary factor in the destruction of democracy in the Philippines.

Thank you for sharing your view, Way Nada.

Accountability needs to be secured and realized. There is no such thing as a perfect government, never will and never shall be.

Ugma, plano ko mo adto sa simbahan.

Today is a day of mixed emotions.  Earlier today, I was crying because a friend in CDO is so sick of the dreaded C.  Tonight, a friend took me for an advance birthday treat.  We went to my favorite Japanese Restaurant - Arigato Sushi.  Food was good and most of all I treasure the time spent with my friend.  She listens.

Big Sis,

Ampo ko that your friend will fight this battle, and remain strong, no matter what the result. She is blessed to have beloved and supporting family and friends.

May the Lord God grant your friend strength and peace of mind.

Be strong also, 'te. God Bless You, and your family.

Christ Have Mercy.

Ate Ellen,
Thank  you for reminding me.



God Bless You!!!!

“But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,”

-1 Peter 3:15

With God, there are always possibilities. If the Spirit of God is with you, even limitations such as economic depravity and/or physical handicap can be overcome.

Everything is by His Grace. Everything. Everything according to His Will.

Thank You for sharing these images, Bem.

2 Corinthians 9:6-9 “Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written: ‘He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.’"

The image of the little child brought me to tears.

Lord Have Mercy

She wore a golden dress, with Italian embroidery.

On her right hand, she wore my flower.


We were high school sweethearts.

Absolutely, Way Nada,

It is all about perspective. One man's prince is another man's pauper, pardon my figurative language.

I thank you for your astute observation in regards to Marcos,  I enjoyed reading it.

Very academic.

Have you engaged in professional debate format? Your style is akin to Lincoln-Douglass Debaters, to which I was part of in college.


Lorenzo

Thank You, Tita

You are too kind, Tita Sol.

I am there in spirit.

i had a gay friend in college, dali ra siya mo katawa sa ahong jokes. buutan kaayo tawahana. He's now a grad student in Ohio.

He gave me alot of good hints on dating chics, lol.

yes, very true.

Sometimes when one is in 'love', one fails to see the bad things about the man.

A woman needs to be picky in choosing a man. Don't ever settle for less.

hahaha, mao bitaw.

You guys look very happy.

Yes, the cranial saw wasn't working today, so we had to use a regular heavy-duty anatomical saw.

We had to retract the anteroposterior muscles of the skull, after de-scalping the specimen.

We utilized an old school 'muscle-by muscle' technique to open the skull. Retrieval of the brain was brilliant, actually, the entire specimen was preserved perfectly by formalin.

We surgically opened the midbrain and hindbrain; observing the mesencephalon, diencephalon, the hippocampus, hypothalamus, thalamus and associated tracts.


Before we opened the skull tho, we gave gave a moment of silence and respect to the cadaver for honoring us with use of its body.

Without whom, knowledge would be limited.

lol, mao to'y favorite ni Ondoy Andre when baby pa to sija.

He always liked the song, "Don't cry my darling baby, mommy isn't far away"
Gusto sija i pikpikon ug cantahon  ug warm milk. hahaha triple combo tong bata'a

You'll make a good mom, Aleth Hazel.

very action packed diba?

I was in the hospital today with some other 1st years on volunteer basis. Today I worked with some nurses in cleaning a patient. Scrubbing, cleaning, and dressing.

I saw another side of medicine. I really admire and respect nurses for what they do.

They define: Gentle, caring, beside, and constancy.


Precious is a sight of a patient who smiles.

God Bless all the nurses out there.

how was watchmen? i want to watch it so bad.

I just learn today nga duol raman diay mi sa farm ni Howard G. Buffet anak ni Warren Buffet ang pinakarich nga tawo sa kalibutan.Yes Howard Buffet farm here in Central Illinois near Tower Hill  in Shelby Country .Naglabay labay mi sa iya farm nga walay idea.He is very humble person sa tinuod lang.He serve as board of director in ADM(Archer Daniel Midland)one of the worlds largest agricultural processor of soybeans,corn,wheat and cocoa,also board of director of Sloan machinery mostly they sale John Deere machinery like tractors,combine harvestors ug part.We frequently visit Sloans kay magpalit ug parts sa among farm machinery.Who knows nagtagbo na mi ani niya sa mga farm show wala lang ko idea hehehe.Si Warren Buffet iya daddy ang nagpalit sa farm unya iya girentahan but I think he already buy it from his dad.The farm plat book says he own 700 acres of farm ground.He does missionary work teaching third world country how to grow food and he love photography and africas big game.John Deere mechanics joke that he does not have to unhooked his implement because he has a tractor for everyone of them.Ganahan gyud daw ni si Howard Buffet ug big machinery.Bisan naa na sila billion humble pa gihapon.

I admire W. Buffett for his brevity and his entrepreneurial spirit. Thank you for sharing your personal experience with his son, Raquel. Very inspring kaayo to know that there are men who are not only wealthy, but also retain a measure of humility and love of honest hard work.

Very beautiful message. Thank you for sharing.

The Bayut had knife with him and threaten to kill the American.I wish he will report the incident in U.S embassy.Sometimes it's even hard to trust to the local police there very lax and could care less abi kay di bol-anon.

I do hope that they file charges and report this to the US Embassy.

But it does get chilly.

okay here is a list:

how to save a life

apologize

if you leave

a day late

my friends over you


Thanks in advance, bem.

45 hour week? goodness gracious.

St. Michael the Archangel:




St. Gabriel the Archangel:




St. Raphael the Archangel:

Angels In The Bible:


Gabriel:

One of the best-known angel “names” of the Bible is that of Gabriel. Gabriel is a messenger of God. He appears in the Old Testament Book of Daniel and in Luke’s Gospel. Gabriel appeared twice to the prophet Daniel. One of those appearances was to explain the meaning of a vision that the prophet had experienced. (Dan. 8: 16) The second visit of the angel was to explain a prophecy that God had revealed to Daniel but that the prophet did not understand. (Dan. 9:21)

Gabriel had the privilege of announcing the future births of John the Baptist and Jesus. In Luke’s Gospel, the angel appeared to Zechariah to announce the coming birth of John the Baptist to his wife Elizabeth. (Luke 1: 5-19) Gabriel said this about himself: “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, who sent me to speak to you and tell you this good news.” (Luke 1: 19) The pregnancy was a miracle because Elizabeth bad been unable to bear children up to this point.

It was Gabriel who appeared to Mary. (Luke 1: 26-38) This is the revelation of another miracle, a virgin birth. The angel tells Mary that she has been blessed among women to mother the “Son of God”. He also informs her that her relative Elizabeth is also pregnant. “For there is nothing that God cannot do.” (Luke 1: 37)

Michael:

Michael is an archangel. Jude describes Michael as “the chief angel”. (Jude 9) Jude was teaching that even Michael does not condemn the Devil, but leaves that to God. Revelation describes a war in Heaven with Michael leading his angels in a battle victory against the dragon (Satan) and his angels. The Devil is thrown out of Heaven and sent to earth. (Rev. 12: 7-9)

Michael is described in the Book of Daniel as “Israel’s guardian angel”. (Dan 10: 21) A prophecy regarding Michael’s role in the end times struggle against evil is revealed to Daniel. (Dan.12: 1)

Raphael:

The angel Raphael is revealed in the Book of Tobit. Tobit is not in the canon of Protestant or Jewish Bibles; it is in Catholic and Anglican Bibles and is recognized in some of the Orthodox Churches.

Raphael is more of a “Touched by an Angel” angel. God dispatches Raphael from Heaven to answer the prayers of two Jewish supplicants exiled in Ninevah. Through the work of this angel a blind Tobit is made to see and a young woman is given relief from an evil spirit that keeps killing her husbands. The happy ending is supplied when Tobit’s son marries the young woman. They live happily ever after and Raphael returns to Heaven after revealing his true identity and refusing the earthly rewards offered by Tobit.

"My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous."
1 John 2:1

I was really affected with this article, Raquel, that such a man could do such in a house of worship.

May the good Lord have mercy on the soul of the Reverend Fred Winters.

Such wanton carnage. I just hope the economy can stabilize soon.

Today was a good day, just a long day in neuroanatomy lab.

Some colleagues and I had difficulty in opening the cranial structures of one cadaver, and had to result in manual opening. The specimen was in excellent form, tho, we were able to properly study the midbrain, and associated structures.

lol, sleep while standing? kuyawa pood.

make sure to get sleep everyday jud, bem. kai ma sakit ta dali ug walay tarong tulug. Ma immunocompromised ta. This happened to me last semester when for 2 weeks straight~i was studying. sleeping only about 3-4 hours a day. Na sakit, na sip-onon, etc. After exams, ning tug jud ko for the whole weekend lol. Ning learn jud ko to never do that again.

Definitely one of my 'to dos'.

Bem, its all your fault. Now you have me addicted to sponge cola's version of a particular song. lol.

I have it in my ipod now.

lol, ayaw pa suko, bem.


Ako, karoon, I was irritated earlier.

Pero, I read a verse in scripture, to turn the other cheek.

The good Lord is too good.

Guten Tag to Pareng Bambi and Markus!

GEC is absolutely correct. Japan, China, and South-North Korea are all nations that belong in the Ring of Fire. Yet these countries also have nuclear plants.

China, alone, has 9, and has pledged to built an additional 32 by year 2020; to augment and address Her population and energy demands.

Japan, also an archipelagic nation, that suffers not only typhoons, but tsunamis and earthquakes (remember Kobe in the mid 1990s), yet Japan hails dozens of nuclear power plants.

Nuclear Power represents national independence from importing fuel. If the Chinese, the Koreans, and the Japanese can do it, whose to say that The Philippines cannot?

Are we any less than they? Do we not have thousands of technocrats? Engineers, Scientists, Physicians?

Philippines of the present doesn't have to be the Philippines of the Past.
