A Riddle April 26, 2006

On his trip to Great Britain, George Bush had a meeting with Queen Elizabeth.
He asked her, “How does one manage to run a country so smoothly?”
“That`s easy,” she replied, “You surround yourself with intelligent ministers and advisors.”
“But how can I tell whether they are intelligent or not?” he inquired. “You ask them a riddle,” she replied, and with that she pressed a button and said, ”Would you please send Tony Blair in.”
When Blair arrived, the Queen said, “I have a riddle for you to answer for me.
Your parents had a child and it was not your sister and it was not your brother.
Who was this child ?” Blair replied, “That`s easy. The child was me.”"Very good,” said the Queen, “You may go, now.”
So President Bush went back to Washington and called in his chief of staff, Karl Rove. He said to him, “I have a riddle for you, and the answer is very important. Your parents had a child and it was not your sister and it was not your brother. Who was this child ?”
Rove replied, “Yes, it is clearly very important that we determine the answer, as no child must be left behind. Can I deliberate on this for a while?”
“Yes,” said Bush, “I’ll give you four hours to come up with the answer.”
So Rove went and called a meeting of the White House Staff, and asked them the riddle. But after much discussion and many suggestions, none of them had a satisfactory answer. So he was quite upset, not knowing what he would tell the President.
As Rove was walking back to the Oval Office, he saw former Secretary of State Colin Powell approaching him. So he said,”Mr. Secretary, can you answer this riddle for me. Your parents had a child and I was not your sister and it was not your brother. Who was the child?”
“That’s easy,” said Powell, “The child was me.” “Oh thank you,” said Rove, “You may just have saved me my job!”
So Rove went in to the Oval Office and said to President Bush, “I think I know the answer to your riddle. The child was Colin Powell!”
“No, you idiot!” shouted Bush, “The child was Tony Blair!”
ANG BUBULE (sa Kawalang-Malay) April 22, 2006

Walong taon pa lamang ang edad ay ibig nang matutong manligaw ni Boy at nanay niya ang inurirat, na ang sabi’y magtago na lamang siya sa likod ng kanilang kurtina at panoorin sa gabi ng araw na iyon ang pagliligawan ng ate niya’t nobyo nito.
Kinaumagahan ay inusisa si Boy ng kanyang nanay sa kung ano ang mga nasilip niya at natutunan.
“Sa umpisa po, ” kuwento ni Boy, “ay nagligawan lang ang dalawa. Kanilang pinatay ang ilaw at dim light lang ang iniwang buhay sa salas.
“Nagyakapan at naghalikan pero sumama ang pakiramdam ni ate. Nag-iba kasi ang itsura ng mukha, eh. “Kaya ipinasok ng nobyo ang kamay nito sa blusa ni ate at parang doktor na pinakiramdaman ang puso nito.
“Pero tangang doktor! Ang tagal nagkakapa ng kamay ay hindi alam kung saang lugar naroon ang puso!
“Hindi nagtagal ay nagkahawahan na sila ng sakit. Pareho nang hihingal-hingal.
“Inilagay ng nobyo ang kamay nitong may sinat sa loob ng palda ni ate. Para mainitan, dahil nag-alis pa muna ito ng panty.
“Lalong naging grabe si ate. Nangapos ang hininga, nanigas ang mga paa, at halos mapahiga’t magkandahulog sa pagkakaupo.
“Iyon ang kataasan ng lagnat. Dahil sabi ni ateng nangangatog, umuungol at tumitirik ang mga mata’y kinikilig na raw siya.
“Kaya pala sumama ang pakiramdam ng nobyo’y dahil may nakapasok na bubule rito. Umalpas sa harap ng pantalon nito! “Gusto pang tumakas ng papalag-palag na bubule, pero dinakma ni ate at walang-takot na kinagat sa ulo.
“Ngunit iniluwa rin, dahil siguro’y gumanti ng kagat ang nakasubong bubule. “Para hindi na makapangagat uli ay hinawakan ng nobyo ang bubule at may isinaklob sa ulo nito. “Si ate naman ay humiga sa sofa at itinaas ang kanyang mga paa para pitpitin sa pagitan ng mga nakabukaka niyang hita ang ulo ng bubule.
“Pati ang nobyo’y dinapaan ang bubule, na nanlabang mabuti nang ito’y pagpilitang patayin ng dalawa nang papisa sa pagitan nila!
“Pikit ang matang sinalubong ng dikdik ni ate ang makasira-ng-sofa’ng bayo ng nobyo roon sa iniipit nilang bubule.
“Kalaunan ay natahimik ang dalawa, walang kakilus-kilos at humihinga na nang maayos.
“Nang tumayo ang nobyo’y patay na ang bubule. Nakalungayngay at sabog ang sumambulat na lamanloob.
“Pagod ang dalawa sa matinding laban pero nag-umpisa uli sila sa pagliligawan, pagyayapusan at paghahalikan. Aba’y nabuhay na namang unti-unti ang bubule!
“Parang pusa na siyam ang buhay! “Dito mabilis na tumayo si ate, hinawakan at inupuan ang bubule, para siya mismo ang pumatay.
“Pagkatapos ng matagal na namang labanan ay namatay na nang tuluyan ang bubule.
“Sigurado po, ” sabi pa ni Boy.
“Dahil tinanggal pa ng nobyo ang balat ng bubule, at pagkatapos ay binuhusan ng tubig doon sa inidoro!”
Tulalang mahima-himatay sa narinig ang nanay.

Nakakatuwa ang mga langgam,
every time na nagkakasalubong sila
it means they’re communicating.
Sana katulad din tayo ng mga langgam.

AVOID Eating Chicken WINGS frequently – Especially Ladies April 21, 2006

Avoid eating chicken wings frequently – ladies especially, true story…!
A friend of mine recently had a growth in her womb and she underwent an operation to remove the cyst. The cyst removed was filled with dark colored blood. She thought that she would recover after the surgery but she was terribly wrong.
A relapse occurred just a few months later. Distressed, she rushed to her doctor for consultation. Her doctor asked her a question that puzzled her.
He asked her if she was a frequent consumer of chicken wings and she replied yes wondering as to how he knew of her eating habits.
You see, the truth is in this modern day and age; chickens are injected with steroids to accelerate their growth so that the needs of this society can be met.
This need is none other then the need for food. Chickens that are injected with steroids are usually given the shot at the neck or the wings.
Therefore, it is in these places that the highest concentration of steroids exists. These steroids have terrifying effects on the body as it accelerates growth.
It has an even more dangerous effect in the presence of female hormones, this leads to women being more prone to the growth of a cyst in the womb.
Therefore, I advise the people out there to watch their diets and to lower their frequency of consuming chicken wings!
People, who receive this email, please forward it to your friends and loved ones. I am sure no one wants to see him or her suffer!
Debate: Is There a God? April 11, 2006

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the
problem science has with God, The Almighty.
He asks one of his new Christian students to stand and…..
Professor: You are a Christian, aren't you, son?
Student : Yes, sir.
Prof: So you believe in God?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Prof: Is God good?
Student : Sure.
Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student : Yes.
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him.Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then?
Hmm?(Student is silent.)
Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student :Yes.
Prof: Is Satan good?
Student : No.
Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student : From…God…
Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student : Yes.
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Prof: So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student :Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe theworld around you. Tell me, son…Have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student : No , sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student : Yes.
Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol,
science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.
Student : No sir. There isn't.
(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something.You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashinglight….But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality.
You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite,something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it.
Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from amonkey?
Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)
Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavour, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?(The class is in uproar.)
Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the
Professor's brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it,touched or smelt it?…..No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable,demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his faceunfathomable.)
Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student : That is it sir.. The link between man & God is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving & alive.
Dancing With God April 10, 2006

When I meditated on the word Guidance, kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word.
I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.
When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn't flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.
When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another.
It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully.
The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and skill from the other.
My eyes drew back to the word Guidance.
When I saw "G: I thought of God, followed by "u" and "i".
"God, "u" and "i" dance."
God, you, and I dance.
As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust that I would get guidance about my life. Once again, I became willing to let God lead. My prayer for you today is that God's blessings nd mercies be upon you on this day and everyday.
May you abide in God as God abides in you.
Dance together with God, trusting God to lead and to guide you through each season of your life.
Dance!
How Can I Find Peace? April 10, 2006
Posted by Anton in Light Bulb Moments.8 comments
by Barbara Huning, M.A., L.S.A.C.(Source: VITA Journal, March/April 2006)
In an increasingly chaotic world, cultivating inner peace has become more important than ever. Picking up a newspaper, or tuning on the radio or television, reminds us that we live in troubled times. Tragedy, war, and catastrophe abound. Thousands grieve the loss of life, and fear the uncertainty of coming days.
In today’s world, it is easy to feel out of control – to feel that there is little we can do to take control of our lives and experience inner peace. Ultimately, however, we are the only ones that can determine what we will do and how we will feel.
As Dr. Viktor Frankl, noted psychiatrist and World War II concentration camp survivor, reminds us: “The last of the human freedoms…(is) to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s way.” But knowing we control our attitude – that we determine our level of inner peace – isn’t enough. Realizing we are in control and taking control are two different things.
Peace – a feeling of serenity, the calm reassurance of hope and love, requires dedicated, energetic action to achieve. Where can we turn for peace? To ourselves, to others, and to God. How do we achieve inner peace? Through dedicated daily action. Study these 10 techniques for bringing peace into your daily life, and see if your mind, body and heart can feel the difference.
10 WAYS TO PEACE
1. Be mindful. Perspective is all-important when it comes to establishing or strengthening inner peace. Be mindful of what is really important to your life – family friends, God – and then set your priorities. When you let your priorities rule your life, rather than letting your life determine your priorities, you build inner peace.
2. Be prepared. Be prepared for challenges to your inner peace by consistently building your Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual health. A strong body, mind and spirit can withstand anxiety, fear and tragedy of the present, and even look forward with hope, to the future.
3. Be wise. Cultivate the ability to act instead of react. Practice wisdom by thinking before speaking or acting. Determine now how you will choose to respond to the challenges in your life. Temper your responses to others with the wisdom of one who looks beyond what is said or done to find the reason to the words or actions. Seek peace with the knowledge that you have taken the right action; that you’ve done the right thing.
4. Be content. “Contentment” is a quality you don’t hear much about in today’s world. But finding joy and satisfaction in what you have and what you are, rather than constantly dwelling in what you don’t have, is an unending source of inner peace. True contentment brings the peaceful recognition that you already have what is most important.
5. Be loving. When inner peace seems lost – when anxiety, fear and discouragement invade – you can be left feeling like you have little to give and little comfort to offer others. But one of the grand purposes of life is to comfort and strengthen others. In this reaching out – this selfless act of service – you can and will discover lasting peace.
6. Be still. Webster’s dictionary defines peace as an undisturbed state of mind; as serenity. All too often, you may let the noise and confusion of the outside world rob you of precious quiet hours. An hour or two of silent reflection, of study and prayer, can bring peace to a troubled spirit and perspective to a troubled mind. When inner peace is threatened, guard your quiet time. Cherish it – you need it.
7. Be grateful. True gratitude is more than a recognition of your blessings, it is a celebration of those blessings – the spontaneous outpouring of a heart too full to keep its joy inside. Seek opportunities to express gratitude to others and to God. This one habit alone can build huge stores of inner peace as you come to see how loved and blessed you are.
8. Be accepting. You may sometime wonder what it would be like to be in total control of your world. In reality, many things that happen to you are out of your control. Recognizing this fact is the first step in acceptance. Learning to differentiate between what you can and cannot change is the second. By accepting what you cannot change, and enthusiastically working to change to what you can, you preserve inner peace.
9. Be prayerful. When confronted with heart-breaking tragedy, surrounded by fear and anxiety, prayerful pleas for self control and faith to live in hope can bring assurance, peace and strength. True peace is a God-given gift – one He wants to give to you. We are sons and daughters of God. He loves us, He wants us to be happy, and He will speak peace to our souls.
10. Be peaceful. Easy enough to say, right? But being peaceful – following the previous nine steps and now this one – really is as simple and as difficult as making a choice. Your mind is a powerful tool. Use it to determine your reaction to circumstances outside your control by telling yourself to be at peace. Doing this with a few minutes of deep breathing virtually guarantees it will be true.
Love and Life by Albert Einstein April 10, 2006

Sometimes in our relentless effort to find the person we love, we fail to recognize and appreciate he people who love us. We miss out on so many beautiful things simply because we allow ourselves to be enslaved by our own selfish concerns.
Go for the man of deeds and not for the man of words, for you will find rewarding happiness, not with the man you love but with the man who loves you more.
The best lovers are those capable of loving from a distance far enough to allow the person to grow but ever too far to feel the love within your being.
To let go of someone doesn't mean you have to stop loving, it only means that you allow that person to find his own happiness without expecting him to come back. Letting go is not just setting the other person free, but is also setting yourself free from all the bitterness, hatred, and anger that you keep in your heart.
Do not let the bitterness take away your strength and weaken your faith, and never allow pain to dishearten you; but rather let yourself grow with wisdom in bearing it.
You may find peace in loving someone from a distance not expecting something in return. But be careful, for this can sustain life but can never give enough room for us to grow. We can all survive with just beautiful memories of the past, but real peace and happiness come only with open acceptance of what reality is today.
There comes a time in our lives when we chance upon someone so nice and beautiful and we just find ourselves so intensely attracted to that person. This feeling soon becomes a part of our everyday lives and eventually consumes our thoughts and actions. The sad part of it is when we begin to realize that this person feels nothing more for us than just a friendship.
We start our desperate attempt to get noticed and be closer, but in the end our efforts are still unrewarded and we end up being sorry for ourselves.
You don't have to forget someone you love. What you need to learn is how to accept the verdict of reality without being bitter or sorry for yourself. Believe me, you would be better off giving that dedication and love to someone more deserving.
Don't let your heart run your life, be sensible and let your mind speak for itself.
Listen not only to your feelings but to reason as well. Always remember that if you lose someone today, it means that someone better is coming tomorrow. If you lose love that doesn't mean you failed in love.
Cry if you have to, but make sure that tears wash away the hurt and the bitterness that the past has left with you. Let go of yesterday and love will find its way back to you. And when it does, pray that it may be the love that will stay and last a lifetime.
There are two ways to live your life:
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle.
There is no mistake so painful that love cannot forgive. no past so bitter that love cannot accept.
And no love so little that we cannot start all over with.
