MECHANICS

I.  RATIONALE

Smart Communications, Inc. has once again partnered with the Department of Education through the Center for Students and Co-Curricular Affairs in the conduct of various contests nationwide in support of the National Teachers' Month and World Teachers' Day celebrations.

BE STRONG

    Be strong like a union of broom stick  that binds together. Individually weak but put together makes them stronger.

TEMPTATION

     Devil come in a persuasive way are you strong enough to fight   for that offer ?

SURVIVAL FOR THE FITTEST

     God  gave every living things that natural protective organs to used  as protection from any harmful objects. But when survival of the fittest started other creation used it to harm others, and they create  more; out of their devil desires to gain power and for them to live longer.

NATAGPUAN KO NA SI KAPITAN TIAGO

     Matagal-tagal na rin ang aking paghahanap kay Kapitan Tiago. Sa wakas natagpuan ko na rin siya ang mahiwagang ginoo sa aking panaginip. Ako'y gising at nasa wastong kaalaman. Ito nga ang bahay na aking nakita sa aking panaginip. At ang mga obra, may pagkakaiba man subalit mas lamang ang pagkakatulad. Ang bahay na tila puno ng hiwaga at kamangha-manghang mga bagay. Dama ko ang enerhiyang nagmumula sa isang di makitang elemento. At ilang sandali pa nakita ko ang larawan ni Kapitan Tiago, di ako puedeng magkamali. Ngunit isa lamang siyang likhang isip na nilikha ng aking malikot na isipan at nadala sa pagtulog. Subalit heto at isang makatotohanang pangyayari ang aking nasasaksihan. Oo nakita ko na siya, subalit sya pala'y pumanaw na sampung taon na ang nakaraan. At sa mismong araw pa ng aking kapanganakan. Imposible ngunit syang totoo. Di ko tuloy mawari kung alin ang imahinasyon  sa totoo. Tama natagpuan ko na sya ngunit ang hiwaga ng mga pangyayari at hiwagang nakabalot sa mga obra at bahay na iyon ay nanatili pa ring isang palaisipan. May mga bagay na sadyang laan lang sa Maykapal. Kahit  anong pagsisiyasat pa ang iyong gawin mananatiling hiwaga at misteryo. Pagkatapos ikutin ang kabuuan ng bakuran at bahay na iyon. Dama ko ang mga matang nakatitig na walang pisikal na anyo. Isang karangalan ang makita ang mga buhay na obra na di kumukupas at ang sining na likha ng madamdaming talento. Misteryo, huwag mong subuking arukin. Dahil tulad ito ng lalim ng karagatan na pag sinisid, ang kalaliman makikita ang perlas na nasa loob ng kabibe at di maipaliwanag kung sino ang nagturo sa mga kabibeng 'yon upang ingatan yaring mutyang sinisinta.

PEACE & HARMONY

An acquaintance  told that once their is an art contest wherein the theme is peace & harmony. All the pictures was so awesome & readily explain how peaceful the environment is like the calm sea, but the winner of the said event was a picture of a mother & child at the middle of a smokey mountain. The artist explained that despite their environment this mother and child possess peace & harmony within, that can be seen with the silence and smile on their faces. "Its the character within that truly build  great Kingdom."

USAPANG SENIOR

     Senior 1: Ayaw nilang maniwala sakin na 60 na ako.

     Senior 2: Ako may gayundin.

     Senior 3: Talaga naman at ano ang sekreto ?

     Senior 2: Huwag mong problemahin ang problema.

     Senior 1: Tama, normal ang tao na may problema, magiging abnormal ka lang kung pakaiisipin ang problema.( Sabay  tingin sakin. Talaga naman very transparent ba ang aking mukha o sadyang bihasa sa psychology sina lola.)

     Tama nga naman sina lola at habang minamasdan ang kanilang masiyahing aura, mababakas ang mga senyales ng karunungan at di maitatagong putong ng korona, na ngayo'y namumula dahil sa tina. At ang normal na walang kulay, karamihan ay mga uban na gayunpaman bakas pa rin ang kagandahan nilang taglay. At ang pusong masiyahi'y di tumatanda. 

     Naaalala ko tuloy si Inang. Si Inang na puno ng katapangang  namana kay Gabriela Silang at Tandang Sora. Ang yayat  na kamay na nabanat sa hirap.

     Minsan ang mga pangarap na nais para sa iba tila kayhirap abutin. Malalaman mo na lang na abot kamay na ang tagumpay, ngunit ang mga tao at ninunong ugat ng pangarap ay pumanaw na......Para sa iyo Lola Juana ang aking pinakamasipag at pinakamatapang na "Inang" ngunit sa kabila ng katapangan nandun pa rin ang lambing; Mabuhay ka ngayon, bukas at magpakailanman.!

DIFFERENT PERSONALITY TYPE

Sanguine Personality Type

     If you’re an extrovert, then you have the so called Sanguine personality. These people are optimists and talkers. For those who want to learn more about this personality, read on and you will find out about your strengths and weaknesses.

Strengths

Being talkative has its advantages. You can easily liven up a party with your presence because of your ‘storyteller’ attitude. With your appealing personality, you can easily attract others and make friends. Many people will admire you for your sense of humor, cheerfulness, and enthusiasm.

People with this type of personality volunteers for certain jobs and helps in creating new activities; they can instantly inspire others to work and join the fun. It’s no longer a surprise that Sanguine people have many friends. They basically love people and don’t hold grudges. If they commit a mistake, they will readily apologize.

     If you have this type of personality, you can be a great parent. The home will have a fun atmosphere and you can develop ‘friendship’ with your children. Even your children’s friends will love your company. Amidst the disaster, you will still find humor. The child in your is always at work.

These are among the strengths of someone with the Sanguine personality. Despite the strengths, you also have to know about the weaknesses.

At work, Sanguine people prefer to talk a lot and tend to forget their obligations. Their confidence also disappears instantly and their decisions are based primarily on feelings. You probably don’t want to be alone and makes excuses. You are forgetful and fickle which makes others hate you.

Choleric Personality Type

     However, your negative traits can also affect you such as being bossy, impatient, can’t relax, quick tempered, enjoys arguments or controversies, unsympathetic, and too impetuous.

When you become a parent, you are the dominant type and you barely have time for your family. When the rest of the family members give poor performance, you become impatient. Your children will find it hard to relax in your presence and can even lead to depression. The good thing about you as a parent is that you can teach your children on how to establish their goals in life. The home is also kept organized and you encourage your kids to take action and possess sound leadership.

As a friend, you don’t do well with making a lot of friends. You want to lead and you can excel in emergencies. Other people will stay away from you because you tend to become a user, domineering, too independent, unpopular, makes decisions in behalf of others, knows a lot, and too possessive. This may be the reasons why a person with a Choleric personality has very few friends.

You’re the type of person who is always on the go. If you want to see improvements in your life, you need to take things slowly. Slow down… there is nothing wrong in giving yourself and others some time. Before you act on something, you have to think things over. By doing so, you will be able to identify the consequences of your actions and how your decisions affect other people.

Still, you can create lasting friendships.

Striving for perfection is not wrong but there are times when you expect too much from others because of your ‘perfectionist’ attitude. You need to realize that not all people are like you so you have to accept them for who they are.  The lives of melancholy persons are usually in order and their creativity shows in their everyday work. In terms of friendship, you are self sacrificing which means that your loyalty is unending.

 Once you establish your own family, you usually set high standards and you want everything to be done right. The home is always in proper order. It is also common for parents having this personality to encourage talent and scholarship. The melancholy personality is also willing to sacrifice for their children’s well being.

Your employer believes in you because you tend to be schedule oriented. You have high standard, keeps things organized, economical, tidy, neat, detail conscious, and is able to identify creative solutions with ease. However, you are not a people-oriented person and hesitate to begin new projects. You also need constant approval from your employer to ensure that you’re on the right track. Consuming too much time with the planning aspect can be a waste of time and effort especially when others were able to finish ahead of you.

You find it very easy to make friends although you are extra cautious. You don’t want to cause too much attention since you would rather prefer to stay in the background. Your friends adore you and usually depend on you to help them solve your problems. Among the negative attitudes that are seen in melancholy people are socially insecure, skeptical, remote, withdrawn, and don’t want to be opposed.

Phlegmatic  Personality Type

Whether you’re at work, in the local community, or at home, you won’t be misunderstood especially if you know that you have the Phlegmatic personality. It’s very important that other people understand your behavior and personality in order to foster effective communication. Among the emotions that you constantly display are 

Strengths

relaxed, easy going, consistent, kind, sympathetic, witty, and quiet, collected, cool, and calm. 

Weaknesses

unenthusiastic, worried, fearful, indecisive, selfish, avoids responsibility, reticent, too shy, too compromising, and self righteous.

Once you have a family of your own, you can be a good parent. You tend to give your children enough time and you’re not hurrying unlike others. You are also not easily upset. However, since you usually take life easily, you tend to be lax with the children and so the home becomes disorganized.

As a person with this kind of personality, you are steady and competent in the workplace. Your co-employees will find you agreeable, peaceful, and even has the capability of managing administrative positions. You can mediate problems to avoid conflicts. Regardless of the pressure at work, you can still perform your duties and responsibilities well. still, you need to correct some negative attitudes like being careless, lazy, not self motivated or goal oriented, don’t want to be pushed, and tends to discourage others. These are the worst things that a Phlegmatic personality can do at work.

Since you’re pleasant, enjoyable, and inoffensive, you can make a lot of friends in a short time. You are a good listener, has concern, compassion, and sense of humor. There is no wonder that you have a wide circle of friends. You might have noticed that you judge others easily, resists change, stays uninvolved, and dampens enthusiasm. These are some negative traits that you need to correct or you will lose your friends.
Like other personalities, a Phlegmatic person has strengths and weaknesses. It is vital that you study your personality carefully so that you can evaluate which aspects need improvement. These are the general traits possessed by someone with this kind of personality but it doesn’t mean that you exhibit them all. Some traits are visible but some are just waiting to be developed. Hopefully, you can control your negative traits so that you can be a more productive person but then again, no one is perfect.
With this knowledge, you have the opportunity correct your bad traits and develop further your good points. There are times when you find yourself overindulging on the negative side but with the right knowledge, you can be back on track once more. Basically, you possess traits that can easily attract others and so winning friends is not a problem. You simply have to let go of your selfishness and self righteousness to keep long
lasting friends.

His name is Jesus Christ. Now say quietly: You can enter, Lord, I need you, cleanse my heart with your blood and bless my family. If you believe in God send this message to 10 or more people. If they refuse, remember that Jesus said "If you deny me among men I will deny you before my Father." HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO YOUR PLACE. 

When He gets to your PC, escort Him to the next stop. Please don't allow Him to sleep on your PC. The message He's carrying is very important and needs to go round. May God bless you as you do this! AMEN.

The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.’ 

JULIE  

Rally for Life

     Allergic ako sa word na rally  dahil para sa akin ito ay gawain ng mga taong walang magawa sa buhay.
Pero ngayon nag iba ang kahulugan nito sa aking buhay. Oo ito ang kauna-unahang pagkakataon na ako'y sumali  sa rally. Noong una, curious lang , nag-aabang ng away, batuhan, or tangke na darating. Pero almost 1 hour na akong nakatayo, wala pa rin ang aking madugong sagupaan na pinakaaabangan. Sa halip umulan ng napakalakas, at sa hinuha ko isa-isa ng mag-aalisan ang mga taong naroon. Subalit ni isa ay walang umalis at di natinag sa kanilang kinatatayuan. Doon naantig ang puso ko. Ano bang meron  sa rally na ito. Ako 'yon tao na walang pakialam anuman ang batas hanggat di ako maaapektuhan, basta ako tama ang ginagawa ko. Ang batas ay para sa mga mambabatas. Motto ko nga "mine your own business". Subalit unti-unting nabuksan ang aking kamalayan sa ipinakitang katatagan ng mga taong nagtitipon sa Edsa. Tahimik na nanalangin. Sa kasaysayan ito ang maituturing ko na Edsa 2. Buhat noong 1986. Bagamat di ako nakadalo sa mga panahong 'yon akin itong nakikinita at binalikan sa araw na ito. Walang dahas na namagitan. Tunay na minsan ang sigaw na paanas ay nakabibingi kaysa sa sigaw na walang patumangga. Nakita ko ang puwersa ng panalangin, kahinahunan at pagiging edukado ng mga taong masa na naroroon. Isang karangalan na mapabilang sa rally na ito. Ngayon aking napagtanto na makasaysayan nga ang kasaysayan. Dahil pawis, dugo at buhay ng mga Pilipino ang nakatayo kapalit ng isang mabuti at makabuluhang adhikain.
    Lahat ng bagay sa mundo ay may buhay. Una dahil nakatira tayo sa kaisa-isang planeta na may buhay. Pangalawa nandito ang mga tao. At sabi nga sa matalinghagang pananalita sa anak "dugo ka ng aking dugo, laman ka ng aking laman." Kaya di katwiran na dugo pa lang dahil ang dugo ay buhay. Kaya nagkakaroon ng buhay dahil sa dugo dahil ito ang daluyan ng oksiheno na pangunahing pangangailangan natin upang tayo'y masabing may hininga at humihinga. Sa sampung utos nasasabi sa ikapitong utos "Huwag kang Papatay". Dahil di pa marunong umiyak, magreklamo,magsalita, lumaban ang sinasabing dugo puede ng kitlin ang buhay nito ?
     Napaluha ako kanina hindi dahil pagod na akong nakatayo kundi awa sa mga sanggol na di pa man isinisilang ay pinapatay na. At sa buong pusong pakikipaglaban ng taong masa.
     Lumaki po ako sa mahirap na pamilya at namasdan ko na ang unang suliranin ay edukasyon, pangalawa opurtunidad at pangatlo di tamang pamamahagi ng yaman. Ito sana ang pag-tuunan ng pansin hindi 'yon mga sanggol na walang kalaban-laban.
     Kung pakikinggan ang hinaing na ito, marahil magiging maunlad ang bansang Pilipinas. Marami hinaing si Juan dela Cruz ngunit pag lahat ba sinabi pakikinggan. Hindi dahil si Juan ay isang hamak na walang kapangyarihan. Subalit paano maghahari ang isang hari kung walang pamumunuan? At isipin nyo ang buhay sa mundo ay di permanente kahit isa ka pa sa napakayamang tao sa mundo. Kaya't anong karapatan mo na kitlin ang buhay ng iba isipin mo tao ka rin na may hangganan. Kung di ka man naniniwala sa buhay na walang hanggan. Maniwala ka sa kaparusahang walang hanggan. Dahil ang lahat ay aanihin mo pagdating ng panahon mabuti man o masama.
     Masaya ka ba kung ikaw lang ang masaya?

     Nawa'y ang karunungang galing sa Diyos ang maghari di ang karunungang may hangganan.

THROW AWAY YOUR UMBRELLA

   Its an awesome day with the awesome friends.

     It rains and it pours.

     Simply sharing and counting our blessings &gifts to everyone, makes us so bless.

     Thanks for that free yummy  meal from our generous brother in Christ in the name of Michael Jonas Dagarag.

     I'm so bless with the presence of beautiful princesses sis Anna, Camille & Erika headed by sis Nadine, "I honor you sis for being a good fruit of the vine.

     Welcome sis Sophia Basaya at our Caring Group and at the Feast.

     After that wonderful meeting its the real and literal "throw away your umbrella" because as we go out at Nipa Hut the baptism of water from heaven welcome us with that strong wind that makes our umbrella to reciprocate :)

    We still laugh telling Lord is it a joke ?

    To tell you honestly I feel God's hug on that wind and for sure it reminds us to truly throw away our umbrella that symbolizes by our sins.

    Be grateful in all circumstances.

    Like a lost sheep that already find by the shepherd.

    God said follow me and do the same.

    Wounded healer as we are, like a broken pot the gardener still used it to water the plants.

    You are fruit of love. You are  successful and victorious claim it and share it.

KAYA MO YAN!

Matagal na rin akong di tumatakbo.:)
Sampung taon na buhat ng huli kong totohanang pagtakbo.
Mahaba-haba na rin pala ang pagtakbo at paglakad na aking tinahak idagdag pa ang pagtakbo sa mga masasalimuot na landas bukod sa oval. :)

Kasabay ng pagdilim ng kalangitan, sabay din na nagdilim ang aking paningin at anumang oras ako'y babagsak. Subalit inunahan akong bumagsak ng ulan sa kalangitan. Namahinga sandali hanggang sa manauli ang lakas.
Sa takbo na 'yon kahapon aking napagtanto na di lahat ng nauuna ay nagwawagi.
Kundi 'yon may determinasyon, disiplina at paghahanda ang syang tunay na panalo.

Tulad ng ating paglalakbay sa mundong ibabaw maraming hadlang.
Maaaring manghina ka sa kalagitnaan ngunit di 'yon dahilan upang huminto ka.

Mas makabuluhan pala ang pagtakbo kung ito'y iniaalay mo sa iyong mga mahal sa buhay at kaibigan.
Pagdating sa "finish line" may kakaibang ligaya.
Di man nagkamit ng anumang gantimpla;
Ang takbong 'yon ay simbolo ng tagumpay na lupigin ang sariling kahinaan.
Kaya kaibigan sama-sama tayong magpatuloy sa laban ng buhay.
Cry out nga ng Milo "Kaya Mo Yan!"

Willing to Wait

     "One hot and spicy thigh part please."  "Ma'am available lang po wing parts original flavor. But we can put your order by 12 minutes that is if you are willing to wait ?"  "Hot & spicy willing to wait for 12 minutes."
     Sa paghihintay ng makakatuwang at makakasama habang buhay, yan din ang dapat itanong. "Willing to wait" ka ba kung ano talaga ang gusto mo o kahit di mo gusto dahil 'yon yong "available" 'yon na lang.
     Nakakaapekto talaga ang modernong sibilisayon na kung saan lahat ay "instant" sa pagkain man, komunikasyon at relasyon. Kayat hindi uso ang salitang paghihintay, dahil lahat ay pinapadali sa modernong panahon.
     Kailangan nating balikan ang simula ng paglikha. Mula sa aklat ng Genesis. Makapangyarihan ang Panginoon at lahat ay kayang Niyang likhain sa isang iglap lamang. Ngunit bakit nilikha nya ang lahat sa loob ng anim na araw at sa ikapitong araw sya'y namahinga.?  Sa unang araw nilikha nya ang langit at lupa at liwanag na tatanglaw sa karimlan at pagkatapos noon lumipas ang gabi at araw. (medyo mahaba-haba pakibasa na lang po ang Genesis 1-3:23. :)
     Patunay lamang ito  na ginawa Niya ito upang gawin nating ehemplo na hindi lahat ay makukuha natin sa isang iglap lamang. Lahat ay may nakatakdang oras. Ang kalikasan din man marinig ang tinig, sa kanilang kilos at anyo, tuturuan ka niya kung paano maghintay.
     Magsimula tayo sa kalawakan. Sa pagsikat ng araw nagsisimula sa kailaliman ng bundok na wari'y nakabaon sa kalaliman. Sa tanghaling tapat nasa ituktok ng kalawakan at sa paglubog ng haring araw ito'y unti-unting nagkukubli sa kalaliman ng dagat. At pag gabi  masdan ang buwan may first quarter, 2nd quarter at full moon.
     Maging ang sisiw ay nagsisimula sa itlog at dalawampu't isang araw bago maging ganap at mapisa sa itlog.
     Ang bawat bungang-kahoy ay nagsisimula mula sa bulaklak bago maging ganap na bunga.
     Ikaw, oo ikaw nga masdan mo ang iyong kabuuan. Siyam na buwan kang nanatili sa sinapupunan ng iyong mahal na ina. At pagkatapos ng siyam na buwan ika'y isinilang. Naging sanggol, bata,  at ngayon malaki ka na. At sa iyong paglaki nagmamadali ka na lahat ay gusto mong gawin sa isang iglap lang.
     Kaibigan ipikit mo ang iyong mga mata, damhin mo ang tibok ng iyong puso, ang iyong paghinga.
     Lahat ay may ritmo ang hakbang ng iyong mga paa ay salitan di puedeng pagsabayin.
     Ngayon magpunta tayo sa usaping pag-ibig. Ano kaya a ng tunay na pag-ibig.Ang salitang pag-ibig ay isang pagkilos at kaakibat  nito ang responsibilidad sa lahat ng aspeto di lang ito isang emosyon. Manapa'y ito'y nagsisimula sa panahong wala na ang paghanga o "infatuation". Ang lahat ay kumukupas, dahil pag lumipas na ang paghanga, tulad nito'y isang bulaklak unti-unting nalalagas ang bawat talulot nito. Masakit subalit kapalit ng pagtitiis ay isang bunga na lahat ay makikinabang at mababahaginan.
    Ang tunay na pag-ibig ay nagbibigay di itinatago kundi ibinabahagi.
    Upang maging matamis ang bunga  kailangang hintayin itong mahinog sa tamang panahon. Dahil ang hinog sa pilit ay mapakla. Ang bunga ng pag-ibig na pinanday ng panahon ay matamis at handa muling mamunga at magkaroon ng matamis na bunga.

"THE TIME OF PATIENTLY WAITING"

It’s the day of reflection. As I wait for friends to come I busied myself in order to feel that time is moving and not wasted; I read books from the upper floor, fix myself in the wash room. Get flyers from the movie house. Look around and when I was tired I stop, sit read my companions, wait for  seconds, minute an hour and a decade. :)

     It dawned on me that if you focused yourself on waiting you'll feel impatient. Why not instead of waiting, prepare yourself like they are already there. Be happy with your “me time”. Take this moment to examine yourself. Why are you doing these things? Is it for you or for others? What’s the real essence why even in the midst of the crowd you find yourself alone?

     Instead of allowing yourself  being alone why not talk to those people around you. (It seems awkward but who knows it’s your mission.) :) If you find it awkward simply pray for them. You are a relational being. Relate with one another. Love others as yourself.

     I saw united nation not because of flag but by races and colors. Really when you observed carefully this world is a colorful world to be. Wow thanks God they are here………thanks for the time of patiently waiting with me.:)
