Quotable Quotes / Re: People are lonely...
November 16, 2010, 01:09:51 AM
it's ok to isolate yourself from time to time when you got problems. building walls around you is somewhat making you out of reach and doing that is just like you are letting yourself pulling into the bait of loneliness. while building bridges is just like extending and opening other people to lend help. you are giving them the freehand to choose whether to cross the bridge and lend a helping hand or stay where they are.

MANILA, Philippines - Warning: Bomb jokes remain strictly prohibited inside airports.

A Filipina learned this the hard way after she was arrested at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 for telling airport screeners that she was carrying a bomb in her luggage.

Screener Lubis Tarcilla said passenger Zenaida Sangalang of Santa Rita, Batangas joked several times that she was carrying a bomb. The suspect was immediately detained and placed under investigation by the Philippine National Police Aviation Security Group as part of the airport's standard operations procedure.

Sangalang was set to board a Royal Dutch Airline KLM Flight 804 to Italy via Amsterdam. She said she was unaware that joking about explosives inside the airport was against the law.

Col. Manny Pintado said Sangalang's daughter will be allowed to board her flight.

Sangalang will be charged with violating Presidential Decree 1727, which penalizes all persons who issue false bomb threats.

One day, the Lord came to Adam to pass on some news.
"I've got some good news and some bad news," the Lord said.

Adam looked at the Lord and said;
"Well,give me the good news first.

Smiling,the Lord explained, "I've got two new organs for you. One is called a brain. It will allow you to create new things,solve problems and have intelligent conversations with Eve. The other organ I have for you is called penis. It will give you great physical pleasure and allow you to reproduce your now intelligent life form and populate this planet. Eve will be very happy that you now have this organs to give her children."

Adam very excited,exclaimed, "These are great gifts you have given me. What could the bad news possibly be?"

The Lord looked upon Adam and said with great sorrow, "You will never be able to use these two gifts at the same time."

The boy had a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulation requiring that family unity be maintained to the highest degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried and said that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with the child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Dallas Cowboys, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

Filipino crew in mega yachts
By Katlene O. Cacho


THE business started with only five Filipino crew members deployed overseas.

With the growing yacht industry, Lisa Moran’s crew agency now has over 300 members aboard 80 mega yachts all over the world.

“We credit the success of the company to our crews and office employees who have been our partners since we started the business,” said Moran, general manager and owner of Crew Asia Inc.

Crew Asia is a Cebu-based crew agency that exclusively supplies Filipino crew to the mega-yachting industry from 30-meter sailing vessels to 120-meter mega-yachts.

The company is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and accredited with the the Philippine Overseas Employment Agency (POEA). It was founded in 1992 by Alan Mill-Irving, a former British Yacht master and now chairman of Crew Asia.

Mill-Irving said that since the 1950’s there has been a large percentage of the world’s seagoing commercial vessels manned by Filipino crews. But not all Filipino crew members are well represented in the international yachting community, he said.

“Filipinos have potential to penetrate the yacht industry. Filipino seafarers are diligent and competent. They are hard-working and have an excellent command of the English language. That’s why we established a company that supplies qualified Filipino crew to this growing yacht industry,” Mill-Irving said.

He personally screens applicants who express interest in working in yachts. “Working as a crew in mega yachts requires the
right work ethics. What they look for in the crew are the right service and attitude,” he said.

About 60 to 70 percent of Crew Asia’s members are from the Visayas. They now work in yachts in Singapore, Australia, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and France, among others.

More than helping Filipinos land a job, Moran said hard-earned investments of their crew keep the company going.

“It feels good that our crew now have their own houses, have acquired properties like lots and resorts and have put up businesses for their families. It feels good to know that through Crew Asia we are able to help them improve their lives,” Moran said.

With the vision to deploy more Filipino crew worldwide, Moran said that they will be conducting an orientation for yachting to individuals who are interested to land a job in the yacht industry.

“There are over 4,000 mega yachts in the world and we want to place Filipino crew in each,” she said.

I was watching iba-balita of studio 23 last night and their topic was about RH bill where their guest was bishop Bishop Deogracias S. Iñiguez who is the Chairman of the Permanent Committee on Public Affairs (PCPA) of CBCP. According to Bishop Iñiguez, the church is against the RH Bill simply because it's not within the church teachings. According to Manila Archbishop Julio Cardinal Rosales that those people who are supporting the RH bill are morally lost.

1. Eclipse
Length: 533 feet
Top speed: 25 knots
Total power: N/A

With a reported price tag of nearly $1.2 billion, the Eclipse is not only the largest yacht, but also the most expensive. The Eclipse is due to be delivered later this year to Russian Billionaire Roman Abramovich, who is known worldwide for big spending on everything from super yachts to England's Chelsea Football Club.

The Eclipse has two helicopter pads, 11 guest cabins, 2 swimming pools, exterior fireplace and a dance hall. The vessel is also equipped with intruder detection systems and a German-built missile defense system, while bullet-proof glass and armor plating in the master suite and bridge. Abramovich also made news in 2009 when he had an "anti-paparazzi" shield installed, which reportedly uses lasers to detect a camera and ruin any photographs taken by it with a flash of light.

The Eclipse also features a three-person submarine and can accommodate up to 30 guests and 75 crewmembers. Although much of the details of the ship have yet to be confirmed, estimates place the ship between 533 and 557 feet long. It was delivered for testing in September 2010 and is expected to be delivered to Abramovich before the end of the year.
