Eviction

I am really addicted to PBB Teen Clash the way I was to PBB Double Up

Here are some of the write ups I downloaded about PBB

from; Philippine On Line Chronicles


Sa pagtatapos ng unang linggo ng Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash of 2010, we witnessed Apartment and Villa competing in the Teen-Tertainment with the results given before the first eviction night.

The Teen-Tertainment had both groups of housemates perform a dance number in front of a jury consisting of Epi Quizon, Gladys Reyes and Vice Ganda. The Villa Housemates got a total of 28 points from the jury while the Apartment Housemates got only 24 points. The Villa Housemates got 50.27% approval from the audience through text votes with the Apartment Housemates getting only 49.73% which makes the Villa Housemates win. Again. Naku, Apartment Housemates, ano ba naman yan, talo na naman kayo.

Noong bumisita si Vice Ganda sa loob ng Apartment, binasa niya ang text na ito: “Idol ko kayo, Apartment Housemates, Juan Tamad.” Aba, nagtaka pa sila kung tamad daw ba sila?

Because Maichel was given Forced Eviction earlier this week, siya ang unang lumabas sa PBB Teen Clash 2010 First Eviction Night. Ang kanyang tita ang sumalubong sa kanya.

Si Maichel nga ba ay naging pasaway sa loob ng bahay ni Kuya? Ano nga ba ang masasabi niya tungkol sa mga kamaliang nagawa niya sa loob at sa parusang Forced Eviction para sa kanya? Huh? Paki-ulit ang tanong. O sige inulit ang tanong, to which Maichel answered, “Huwag naman sana husgahan”.

Ang masasabi ko sa iyo, Maichel ay ito: “Sinayang mo ang pagkakataon na nakapasok ka na sa loob ng Pinoy Big Brother House.” Yun lang.

Halatang kabado ang mga housemates before the announcement of the next Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash 2010 evictee. Sino nga ba ang hindi kakabahan, not only will they lose the chance of winning millions of pesos worth of prizes, they also cut short their stay in the house at kulang pa ang panahon para maipakita what they are capable of.

Ang iba pang mga nominated for eviction ay ang mga sumusunod: si Potz na naging emotional na daw sa loob. Si Patrick na leader ng natalong team sa Teen-Tramural. Si Tricia na nahirapang mag-adjust sa loob. Si Eslove na marami daw crush sa loob at si Angelo.

Before the other housemate to be evicted was announced, the persons who will welcome them back to the outside world were introduced. Tanging si Angelo lamang ang walang susundo dahil hindi nakaalis ang kanyang ina sa pinapasukan nitong bahay. Mabuti na lamang dahil ligtas siya at 15.16% of the votes. Whew!

Si Tricia na sa mga unang araw ng PBB Teen Clash 2010 ay maraming naiinis na fans ang pinakamaraming nakuhang boto at 41.48%. I am sure a lot of heated discussions are going on in the online forums and in real life about her result. Eslove got 21.20% which makes him still stay in the house. Patrick got 16.63% which saved him from eviction.

Si Potz ang may pinakamababang nakuhang percentage among all text votes at 5.53% so he was the second one to be eliminated from PBB Teen Clash 2010 First Eviction Night.

Nakakalungkot man na wala na sina Maichel at Potz sa PBB Teen Clash 2010, tuloy pa din ang buhay sa loob.

Sa kanilang pagno-nominate ng mga housemates na gusto nilang ma-evict mamayang gabi, sinu-sino kaya ang sa palagay ninyo na maisasama sa listahan ng PBB Teen Clash Second Nomination?

Sa panibagong hamon this week na tinatawag na “Heat Wave”, makapuntos na kaya ang Apartment Housemates laban sa Villa Housemates?

Laborer

Just as I thought I cannot even browse my blog, it happened... :-)

Today we are celebrating the day of laborers, the same day is for the feast of St Joseph. In the Catholic Tradition, the feast of Saint Joseph as the Father of Jesus is celebrated every 19th of March while Saint Joseph as the Patron of Laborers is May 1.

Saint Joseph is first and foremost the Patron of Laborers--- He is a laborer. A carpenter. He is a dedicated man for a job that made him very remarkable as a saint. He elevated the dignity of laborers.

Saint Joseph is also the Patron of Happy Death--- The mere fact that he died with Jesus and Mary makes him happy even until death. He died even before Jesus suffered on the Cross so that means he did not suffer the way Mary did beneath the cross.

Saint Joseph being the Sire Father of Jesus is the Patron of the Universal Church--- Saint Joseph is taking care of the Church the way he took care of Jesus when he was young. Remember the Church is the body of Jesus and Joseph nurtured and sustained that body of Jesus when he was in youth.

In the beginning of the Bible we see a God who is working. An industrious God. A God who believes in laboring. The first thing that Catholics believe is "God, the father Almighty Maker of Heaven and Earth" A god who makes. A Creator. The story of creation did not cease. It continues through the providence of God and through our creativity. We are doing pro-creation with God. We are co-creators. If you are not crating anything, then you may not be partaking in the works of God. We are asked to do something and to work for the betterment of God's creation. That is why the Catholic Church is against of gambling because gamble does not produce anything new. It does not create something for our good. If you plant a mango tree, you will have mango fruits which the neighbors will buy. No one loosed. If you do gamble, one may become winner at the expense of somebody's money. One of you is going home without anything. How can you be happy when out of your luck somebody else is grieving for a lost. God created something new for our benefit we have to use what we have to create something for the benefit of all. Remember God gave us capitals. Are you the first servant who made 5 more coins out of the five? The second who made five out of two? Or are you the third one who made zero out of one? Let us be creative!

Decode

Who sang "Decode" ? Oh yes they were. Yes they do. Ang Paramore which became a hit from 2008's hall of fame movie Twilight. Na ngayon twilight saga na for it already has four installments. Dalawa ang naipalabas na ang padating na sa November ang nesxt which is Eclipse. I don't know kung kelan yung breaking dawn. Paano nga ba nangyari lahat?

Mukhang this time ang dapat na gawin ay i-decode ang Paramore.

Mas mabilis naka relate nag mga Pinoy sa Paramore because of the word Para. Lagi naman kasi ito gamit ng mga tao kapag nagsasalita at naghahambing. Isa pa may isang banda sa Pilipinas na sumikat late 2005 at early 2006 na ang pangalan ay Paramita. Mas mabilis nagkaroon ng familiarity. Hindi decode ang nagpakilala sa akin sa Paramore. Before pa sila mabigyan ng break sa Twilight, naririnig ko na sa iPod playlist ang kanta nilang "Never Let This Go" na inirelease nila una pa sa Decode. 2004 pa lang nabubuo na ang Paramore if you want you can check Wikipedia. Iba iba ang tema ng bawat kanat nila although alam natin na walang nagiiba sa dynamics ng banda pagdating sa audio. I am a music director and I know.

Decode and Misery both touches the vulnerability of a lover whether a girl or a boy. Ignorance is more maingay. Ito yata ang pinaka nabigatan ako sa lahat ng songs nila. Gustong gustong gusto ko ang Caught Myself. I think the dynamics are great. Nung unang una ko pa lang narinig ang Brick by Boring Brick alam ko walang pinagiba sa ibang naunang kanta. But you know what's incredible? Habang tumatagal ang sarap niyang kumpasan. Ang likot ng instrumentation, yung progression is good job. Mas na-keep yung palakat moods at naging mahinahon siya all through out. Hindi na kasi natin kailangan ng mga parang Mariah sa insudtry na laging nasigaw. I think in her own way Hallie is a diva. At nasabi ko na sa March 18 entry ko [sa blog] na ang agling ng Only Exception. Sabi nila wala na ngang bago sa Paramore. Hey not until dumating ang Brand New Eyes album and Only Exception became the only exceptionliterally and figuratively.

Ang strength ng Paramore , I think is that napaka meaningful ng lyrics nila altogether. You can go emo with the lyrics while going crazy with the composition and melody. Sinaturate nila tau sa stagnant rock nila until gumawa sila ng sweet mellow na suaveng suave ang dating parang Cossack. Just read the bridge of Brick by Boring Brick for exampel if you have time. Compare that wit the bridge of Only Exception. You will see they have the same lyrical power pero magkaiba ng attackk kung paano kinanta ng banda. Yung brick by boring brick bridge came from a heavy attack tapos naging mellow while opposite to that is Only Exception kasi galing sa emo naging rock bigla at nagkametal. More power to Paramore

Ductless

Dear Ronron,

This may seem like a birthday note but this is not just an ordinary greeting as for me...

You always want to make me smile even when we were still in our highschool days and until now you cannot be divorced from my happiness source. Without you the source cannot be connected to me. You seem like a medium of happiness.

Nung una mong tinawanan ang joke ko na para naman talag kay Ric, nagsimula nang lumalim ang samahan natin bilang classmate. Classmate pa lang kc tayo bcoz we came from scratch to friendship. Isipin mo yung pagtataboy namin noon sau as a classmate kc nga marami ang hindi ka matanggap kung ano ka. Sa akin mas mabilis tanggapin yung nagpapakatotoo lang. Ang una mong joke na tinawanan ay yung kinuwento ko kay Ric na anu kaya si Sir Faller nanunuod ng bold pero mga elepante ang characters... :-) haha smile...
Ang saya! Mas napasaya mo pa ako nung pinagtulungan ka nila habang chemistry class natin at sumigaw ka ng PUTANG INA!!!!! Hahaha :-) Can't stand not to laugh at that time khit serious ka namn noon.

At doon na nag nagsimula ang mga kababalagahan.Hindi na tumigil ang kakulitan ng mga third years... Nagsimula na anmg riot dahil magkakasama na tau. Join forced baga. Ang maganda pa niyan in line ka rin pala sa music. Hindi ka nagpaphuli pagdating sa kantahan ang dami dami dami mo pala alam. At maghapon {kung puwede nga magdamag eh} laging may musika. Anu pa nga ba, dumating yung time na sa MIDES lahat halos may dalang gitara dahil influence of our musicality. At sino ang makaklimot sa kantang ito na sikat na sikat noong time na yun at pareho nating kinakanta noon.

It’s so much better
When everyone is in
Are you in?
It’s so much better
When everyone is in
Are you in?
Oooooh oooooh
Are you in?
Youuuuuu ooooh
Are you in?

It’s so much better
When everyone is in
Are you in?
It’s so much easier
When sea foam green is in fashion
Yooouuuhhhh yooouuuooh
Are you in?
Yooouuuuh oooh oooh ooh
Are you in?

Oh diba? Ang galing talaga ng boses natin noon. Saby kanta rin natin ng Dillema, Because of You at mga songs ni Avril Lavigne at Michelle Branch. Kasi hindi ka pa rockista noong time na yun.

Hindi ko rin malilimutan kung paano mo pi-nrove yung sarili mo para sabihing OLA ka nga. i'm so proud of you then. I am sure they do also. Naging Human Xmas tree ka namin at yung "Now I know about the law" so good diba? Ang galing.

And how many you have been there for me kahit na tayo classmates noong fourth year. A friend na laging nandyan kasi nasa Liliw kami noon palagi. Yung sulat mo sa akin noong retreat na may jollibee tag at nasa envelope na isinulat mo sa manila paper gamit ang pentel pen. Parang ako lang yata ang meron nun... hmmm??/ Ang saya diba? At noong December 07 na sobrang lonely ko kasi family day pero wala si Lara Faye sa tabi ko, kasi umalis sila kasama ang kua niyang si Rex... pumunta ako ng San Pablo and there we saw each other at bumili ka ng squeegee. Paano tayo nagkita? Hindi ko na tanda pero alam ko sabay tau umuwi. Sobrang saya sana ganun pa rin. Kumain tau sa Greenwhich at sinabi mo na may pulubing bata kang binigyan ng limos doon everytime you are there.

At nito lang last tym... last year. We were together in almost evrything we do. From Simbang Gabi to Swimmings to fiestas to bday ni Nanay Medi, to sleep over sa bahay before xmas, to reunion ng barkada, to Araw ng Patay na naging Araw ng Lasing... Oh mg! Sa walang tigil kong pagp[apaburn sau ng CDs at pagiinternet natin habang lumalawak na lahat ng properties mo sa games ng facebook. Lahat ng yan.. ikaw ang nagsilbing medium for happiness. And today I just would like to greet you a simpel yet memorable


HAPPY BIRTHDAY from the bottom of my heart my friend...

Sobrang saya ng buhay with you bcoz without you, the source of happiness is ductless.

There are stories you are always eager to tell. Whether it is off or on cam, you can repeat the details in your mind and you can tell the story the way you told it a long time ago. Right? Sa buhay ko marami akong naging idol.

Pero may mga tunay na tumatak at isa doon si Sir Ronald Tubaña. Siya ang Daddy Ronald ko kung tawagin. Siya ang itinuring kong ama na naging idolo ko sa buhay. Ang yapak rin niya ang sinusundan ko although hindi lahat kasi ayokong maging teacher.

Siya ang teacher ko sa Christian Living noong highschool, pati na sa CMT, PEHM at T.H.E. ang dami naman. Pero ang forte niya talaga is yung religion studies. Kahit nga Math puwede niya ituro eh.

Today ang birthday niya. It is a celebration for many of us who treasure his very person as special. I started the day with a mass, I always want to ensure taht a special day starts and ends in a way I am secured. Though there are lots of options I can take to fill my schedule, I opted to be in San Pablo na lang para takasan ang heat. Grabe! hindi na puwedeng i-deny ang init na nararamdaman ko sa bahay kaya nagpunat ako ng San Pablo at tumambay na lang sa mga lugar na may aircon. Una sa San Pablo Mall, pagkatapos sa Puregold then sa Ultimart. Ang saya! Keeping in mind that Daddy is also living in San Pablo. Naisip ko nga eh, kailan kaya magbubukas ang SM San Pablo kasi kung ganito kainit ang mundo talagang umaga pa lang pupunta na ako sa SM para magpalamig. Grabe! Ang innnnnnnnnniiiiiittttt!!!! Ang sarap pa naman manuod ng movies ngayon lalo na yung Iron Man 2. Oh ang dami na ngang movies n apinalampas ko na lang at hindi pinanuod.

Si Daddy ang nagturo sa akin na maging matapang sa pagharap sa mg apagsubok, maging isang tunay na lalaki sa loob at labas ng school. Iba talaga siya. Imba talaga! Idol in short.

Happy Birthday Mr. Ronald N. Tubaña

You will always remian to be my one and only Idol.

Monday

I went out to check if the lights were still on nearby. It wasn't the neighbor's lights. It is the moon. Maliwanang ang buwan agaw atensiyon dahil half moon pala ngayon. Maraming time na energetic ang Monday ko and I thought why not write about Monday. I have no bias for Monday. I neither hate nor like it as my favorite. Henceforth, maraming thoughts about Monday ang mga tao that I have compiled.

Regularity--- Pinaka pasok ang regularity when Monday comes to mind. Lahat kasi bumabalik sa regular come Monday. Since start of working week siya. May trabaho ulit, may pasok ulit, lahat back to normal kaya parang hindi inaabangan ang Monday kundi tinatakasan.

Fatigue--- Kung galing ka sa isang heavy weekend na may outing or inuman talagang babagsak ka pagsapit ng Monday. Kaya nga sa ilang department alam ko wala silang pasok ng Monday. marami rin ang may day off ng Monday kasi Sunday is becoming hectic nowadays.

Refresher--- Para sa mga excited sa regular schedules ang Monday ang refresher nila at binubuhos nila lahat ng fresh na lakas nilafor Monday.

Monday came from Moon's Day would you mind thanking the moon for having a Monday like yours.

Pastorale

Now, we have a continuation of last Sunday's theme. Recalling the gospel reading a week ago, we have Jesus re-appointing Peter as a shepherd because he loves Jesus more than fishing so he do the works of Jesus. His not catching a fish symbolize that he is not fit for that job anymore, he has another work to do, a ministry to be exact. In the first reading we see in the Acts of the Apostles the hardworks of Paul and Barnabas in shepherding the gentiles. A shepherd we are also. Jesus calls us by name as he said in the gospel he knows his and his knows him.

Do we know Him? Do we recognize his voice? Jn 10; 27=30

Jesus said: "My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. No one can take them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one can take them out of the Father's hand. The Father and I are one."

It is important that we hear his voice for direction. The sheep may fall into a pit when a shepherd is not directing the steps of the flock. That may happen if we don't hear him. How do we hear him you ask. Well we Catholics believe that the Lord speaks in the following;

1. The Holy Mass--- by listening to the Sunday readings and the homily of the celebrant, by deep communion with the assembly of God which forms His body, by receiving the Holy Host in silence of the heart, by listening to the liturgical music sang by the choir [ I am not saying this because I am a musician], by the light of the Easter Candle... all these helps in hearing the voice of the Lord.

2. Eucharistic Adoration--- God can be heard when we shut our mouth and cease the shopping list items. The chapel is not a grocery store or a Rustan's Mall, it is the school where we learn from the Master, the well where we drink in the fountain of life, the clinic where the physician heals us. the tent where we meet the commandant of our battle.

3. Bible/ Scripture--- One must have a separate devotion time for reading the Word of God alone, then a one to one consultation with another believer, then a prayer group where they can have a Lectio Divina aided by Church's ready made guides, then a corporate seminar on the basic catechism for the Bible. Better if you will find a CD or DVD that contains a lecture of a bishop or a charismatic speaker about the semantics and exegesis of the Word.

4. Church Fathers--- In the teachings of the Catholic Church, you cannot grow without the reference to the early martyrs and those theologians who walked with the apostles or even with Jesus. They are the freshest source though old. Fresh from the apostles, direct from the early and non-fabricated theology of the early fathers, our church is relying also in the letters and teachings of the Church Fathers as part of our Traditions [big T].

5. Conscience--- It is important that every Christians at the very early age are given value formation of conscience according to the Catholic Traditions, Church Fathers, and Word of God.

_______________________________________________________________

But now, I would like to underscore the role of another potential which I believe was also called by the Shepherd to bear His voice. I am talking about the Broadcasting Industry. Very timely that April is also the Anniversary Month of the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas . The KBP {http://www.kbp.org.ph/about-kbp}too is called to be instrument of God's voice. Filled with communicators skilled to reach audiences via their voices, the KBP is a potential bearer of the voice of the Shepherd. It is very significant for KBP members to ask themselves if they have had enough time to be instrumentality of God's Voice. Are you a shepherd in your own way by constantly doing what you do best to take care of the flock of the Lord?

Aprilian

How many people wake up every morning with smiles in their faces? I am one of those. Wala nang hihigit pa saya ng isang umaga na alam mong may ipagdiriwang ka. Ngayon ang birthday ng isang minamahal. Lahat naman siguro sasaya kapag birthday ng isang taong pinahahalagahan mo. Maaring ina, ama, kapatid, kaibigan o inspirasyon, asawa at anak.

Kahit simpleng agahan na sopas at kutsinta sumasarap kasi birthday ni Dan Carlo. Kahit sobrang init kaninang tanghali hanggang hapon, parang summer breeze lang ang turing mo kasi Birthday ni Dan Carlo. Kahit wala masyadong pera at celebrations para sa birthdayan, sumasaya parang mayaman kasi birthday ni Dan Carlo. Sana birthday na alang lagi ng mga mahal ko sa buhay para masaya lagi.

At itong week na ito ay para ngang nagkatotoo yun. Isipin mo napakaraming tao na importante sa buhay ko ang nagbi-birthday tuwing april, lingid pa diyan, may iba pang dates ng April na nagce-celebrate ang family at mga kabarkada for reunions kaya di mo na mabilang ang expectations ko kapag April. Umpisahan natin sa April 6 na Birthday ni Je, 7 Birthday ni Tita, 9 Birthday ni Pareng Edison, 16 Birthday ni Lester at ni Pareng Gilbert, At today naman Birthday ng pinaka best friend sa buong mundo na si Pareng Alot, na birthday din naman ni Angela Aey. Bukas, birthday ni Nikki, sa 27 birthday ni Daddy Ronald, sa 28 birthday ni Ron ron.

___________________________________________________

Matagal ko na pinapahaba yung buhok ko. Today that dream is over. At exactly 8 am kanian, nagpagupit na ako ng buhok. Sad nga eh badtrip... pero talagang ganun that is done for neatness kasi nga naman at anytime I can be in Mnaila, Cavite, or Batangas for another directing job, o malay mo. Something so essential for our own fashion may be lost many times but that doesn't mean you cannot replace it with a mor ebeautiful one. Maybe hindi pa para sa akin ang long hair looks. In as much as we want to have a new look, kailan rin maibagay ito sa kung ano ang trend at ano ang profession mo. Ok pa rin naman kasi it was done for a reason and anyway it is Dan Carlo's birthday bash. Hindi ako convenient sa pakiramdam na bagong gupit kaya naligo rin ako agad paguwi sa bahay bago ko binisita ang Liliw. Nasa Liliw ako unti 12:00 high noon and God that's when I prove na mainit ka ang sangkalupaan. Ang bilis na ngayong maubos ng sabon kasi sa gabi after supper naliligo ulit ako. Hindi kasi ako sanay na malagkit kapag natutulog lalong mainit. Thta is what we do when we were in college. Naliligo ulit kami sa gabi, for a better sleep.

___________________________________________________

Ilang sandali na lang mula ngayon, dedisisyunan na kung sino ang kokoronahang Miss Ana Kalang 2010. Ngayon kasing April 23-25 ginaganap ang Ana Kalang at tisnelas Festival sabay sa Liliw at Nagcarlan. the reason why I was in Liliw kanina is to check on what's new with them in there. Dito sa Nagcarlan mamayang gabi ang coronation night at baka naman pumunta kami. I think it is better to watch the PBB teen clash 2010 eviction nightwhen in papalabasin ang isa mula kila Potz, Angelo, Eslove, Patrick at Tricia. Kung nandito si Dan siguro we will have some fun in sone tables na nandun sa wings ng Municipal avenue. Last year was totally cool. We are celebrating Dan's birthday without him. Naroon ako, si Isaac, si Je, si Daryl, si Edison, si Raprap, at si Regine. Tomorrow ang parada ng mga nagwagi from the crowned winner hanggang third runner up. Thta would be exciting.

To all Birthday Celebrants of April, A very Happy birthmonth to you all!
Dan, Happy Birthday

Cause

Doing music for a cause. It is mainly the theme of today. A lot of concerts and mga jamming was prepared for the celebration of Earth Day today. Sa mga sandaling ito rin, ginaganap ang American Idol Gives Back. It is nice to do music for a cause talaga. Sa CCP pa lang sigurado na mayroong cultural presenation para sa Mother Earth.

Although one of them will be sent home today, I am enjoying the American Idol show in which assistance for humanity, HIV victims and impoverished is truly commercialized. Napakalaking institution na pala talaga ang AI.

_______________________________________________________________________

Sa Sunday na darating, magkakaroon sa PhilAm Theater UN Ave. Manila ng isang concert at kasali roon ang Novo Concertante Manila headed by Maestro Arwin Tan.

Mas nagiging hit na talaga ngayon sa mga music video countdowns ang latest single ng Spongecola entitled "Makapiling Ka" at isa na rin sa mga paborito ko ngayon. On this day 3 years ago... sikat na sikat naman ang "Tuliro" na siyang kinakanta ko rin noon. Nakita ko si LF sa simbahan while attending the Mass because Apr 22 was a Sunday that time.

Once in a while it is very relaxing to listen specially when the songs are soulful, mellow, and less metal. A lot of Beatles music may be very much of a Rock pero mayroon silang mga very relaxing songs. Strawberry field may be one pero ang dami pa. try to listen to Here there and Evrywhr, Penny Lane, What you Doing to me... all these and more will make you feel relaxed after a busy day of work.

Alicia Keys already performed on stage sa Idol, later on will be Elton John and Mar J Blidge with the All Star Band...

It is nice when you give back. Make sure to do music for a cause.

Cultures

Sinasabing ang isang pamayanan ay ang populasyon ng tao na naninirahan sa isang lunan at nagsasalusalo sa iisang kamanahang kultural o kultura. Ano ba ang culture? Ano ang nagagawa nito sa pamayanan?

Napkalawak ng pakahulugan ng Sosyolohiya sa salitang kultura. Nasasaklwa nito ang ang halos lahat ng antas ng pamumuhay at agwain ng mga tao sa pamayanan. Lumalawak ito dahil sa iba't ibang pahiwatig ng mga katangian nito.

Ang lahat ng kalinangan sa isang community ay apektado ng kultura. Ang kultura kasi ay ang kamanahang panlipunan ng natatanging pamayanan ng tao sa misang natatanging panahon. Masyado pang malabo kung iintindihin ang kahulugan kaya mabuti pa na maunawaan muna ang mga katangian ng kultura.

1. May itinatakdang hugis sa pamayanan. Sa pamamagitan ng katangiang ito ay maipapakahulugan ang kultura bilang "isang pamantayangg lumilikha ng pagkatao ng mga indibidwal na naninirahan sa isang pamayanan."

2. Nikikibagay sa likas at pisikal na katayuan sa kapaligiran. Dahil sa katangiang ito ng kultura, masasabing ito ay "ang interaksyon ng mga tao o lupon ng tao sa pakikibagay nila sa kapaligirang kinatatayuan o pinaninirahan."

3. Nananatili hanggat may pamayanan. Kung ang kultura ay nanatili sa paglipas ng panahon, maaaring ang ipakahulugan rito ay "kinabihasnang pagkilos na natutunan sa mga ipinamana ng naunang lahi ng tao."

4. Nadaragdagan, napapatungan at napauunlad. Dahil alam na natin na hindi na mawawala pa ang kultura, ito ay di na mababago subalit mapauunlad at habang lumilipas ang panahon ito ay madaragdagan habang tumutuklas ang tao dadami ng dadami at magpapatong patong upang magamit sa pamayanan.

Maraming mga sosyologo ang nagsasabing ang pinakamainam na kahulugan ng kultura ay "ang pagkakatipun-tipon ng mga bago at mana lamang na kaalaman at natutunan ng tao. Ang pinakamlaking kaibhan ng tao sa mga hayop, ito rin ay ang pundasyon sa pagkakatatag ng mga kabihasnan."


Sa mga susunod na pagkakataon, tatalakayin ko naman ang mga anyo at porma ng culture. Nabibilang dito ang custom [kaasalan], Relihiyon, Sining, Wika, at Fads. Gayon rin naman ang mga institusyong kultural gaya ng pamilya atbp.

Prejudice

Now I have reason to stay late at night. Usually kasi, I go to bed by 9:30pm. Tinatapos ko lang yung Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo, check my e-mails [no facebook sa gabi], say my prayers and that's it. Sa next morning na lang ulit. But now may PBB Teen Edition clash na. Finally, there is a new set of PBB Teen housemates. May mga bagong buhay na namang pagaaralan yung sambayanang Filipino na may pagka tsismoso by nature.

It is easy to brand a person and prejudged one according to what one has done in the first meeting. Laging nagla-last yung first impression ng tao sa kapwa nila tao. What Tricia is experiencing right now, napagdaanan ko rin nung first years ko sa college.People are easy to preconceive some things about you base lang dun sa nakita nila kahapon kahit hindiyun kumpletong ikaw.

I was saddened by the fact na ganun na kaagad yung nangyari kay Tricia at parang walang opportunity for her to opoen up her positive side. It was totally wronged!

Tricia reminds me of that character in Chun Yang at Only You. Yung bidang babae na malaki rin yung mata tapos singkit. Haha ang cute! Kamukha rin niya yung dating college classmate ko na lalaki. Si YOng naman na may crush sa kanya kamukha ni Paul Andrew haha... Si Yen kamukha ni Yeng, my highschool classmate. Tapos si Devon may nireremind siya sa akin na hanggang ngayon hindi ko maalala kung sino basta meron. Ah basta! Meron nga! Hindi ko lang maaalala.

Does anyone in the house remind you of someone?

Petrology

The nuclear theme of this Sunday’s Mass Readings leads us to the encounter of Peter with the Risen Christ. Peter was called the Rock and became the very foundation literally and figuratively of the Vatican Church. It was a different Peter we see in the First Reading and in the Second. A different Peter from that of a coward, loud, and compulsive Peter driven by emotions during the time of Jesus’ ministry. Why? Because of the encounter at the shore. The Gospel Reading then is prior to the first reading and second reading though it was read the last. What happened in the first reading and second reading are only aftermath of the encounter in John chapter 21. Now let me give you the Gospel reading first before I do the commentary.


John 21: 1-19
After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tibe'ri-as; and he revealed himself in this way. Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathan'a-el of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zeb'edee, and two others of his disciples were together. Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We will go with you." They went out and got into the boat; but that night they caught nothing. Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, "Children, have you any fish?" They answered him, "No." He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, for the quantity of fish. That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his clothes, for he was stripped for work, and sprang into the sea. But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards off. When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish lying on it, and bread. Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish that you have just caught." So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them; and although there were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." Now none of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord. Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish. This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead. When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs." A second time he said to him, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep." He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" And he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep. Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you girded yourself and walked where you would; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish to go." (This he said to show by what death he was to glorify God.) And after this he said to him, "Follow me."


Commentary

Peter’s primacy was vividly manifested by this particular reading. It is one of the juiciest and most theological parts of Johaninne writings. He already concluded the Gospel in Chapter 20 because the intention is over. The entire body, from Chapter 1 to 20 is enough for an unbeliever to believe in Jesus as it is written

“Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.”

But after such conclusion, he followed an epilogue. Some would say that it is for completion and verification. 3 is the credible number for the Jews so you see they say if three are there it is true. If there are three witnesses it can be proven true. If there are three appearances then it is absolutely true. So John added another instance when they saw Jesus before His ascension and that is indicated in the reading above. This was the third time they saw Jesus after the resurrection. Also, John wants to complete the organization of the gospel into three. There is a prologue, a body and so there must be an epilogue to make it three parts and make it truthful. John is very conscious with the truth. He really wants to fight for it. He is the only one who wrote that Jesus is the truth.

Now if the intention for unbelievers is already finished, who are the audiences of the epilogue of John and for what is it written? Why is it so juicy and rich in metaphors? It is for mature Christians. For those who are already believers. This chapter talks about the primacy of Peter as the head of the church; the commissioning of Christ to the apostles; the love of Jesus for the entire church; the melodious communion of different personalities in the church; and the verification of Christ second coming from his mouth. Therefore, in some ways it is very ecclesiological and pastoral. It is for Christians who are planning to backslide although I do not believe that Peter is backsliding when he said “I will go fishing” because they really do not have provisions. Where will they get food? It only shows that even before Jesus called Peter to papacy, he already is agreed by the other apostles to be their head.

Among thousands of questions Jesus could have asked Peter, He only asked him if Peter loves Him. He could asked the following
“Do you promise not to deny me again?”
“Do you swear you can be counted in all apostolic affairs?”
“Are you taking oath to change your impulsive ways?”

But Jesus is concerned only of one thing, that is, Love. Jesus only asked Peter the question of love. And Peter answered yes but that seemed to be no enough for Jesus. So Jesus again asked Peter, do you love me. The same answer was given but seemed to be, again, no enough. Jesus asked him the third time and there the heart of Peter bled. It was the time Peter realized he was paying for the sins of denying him three times. Peter was slow in intellect. He wasn’t able to recognize the Lord until John said so. He totally forgot the first time Jesus called him. He forgot his first encounter with the Lord. So the Jesus said, “I have to renew that encounter” a second calling perhaps for Peter. Peter is slow to recognize the Lord. Only when Jesus asked him the third time he became serious in the conversation and so remembered, Jesus knew where the fishes are. He always knew. And he said “Lord, you know all things” a declaration of Jesus’ omniscience. His supernatural knowledge of all things. It was Jesus who knows if we are sincere. It was Jesus who reads the heart and nothing can we cover up from him. And from that day on, Peter was asked to take care of Jesus flocked, the same promise as that of the first encounter, he will be fisher of men. Peter was totally changed by this and so in the Acts of the Apostle you see a different Peter. A Peter who is not anymore compulsive, a Peter who submits to what the Lord wants.

Jesus asked him take care of my flock, feed my lambs, and tend my sheep. I am sure Peter was puzzled, “He is asking me if I love him but he wants me to take care of sheep. What does the sheep has to do with that?” But Jesus is the lamb. The second reading from the book of Revelation tells us so. And in heaven, there Peter understood why he needs to serve others because that is the only way he can serve the Master. “I am the one pretending to be a lamb so I can see the sincerity of your love.”

Remember, the disciples asked Jesus, “When did we see you hungry, and thirsty and naked and sick?” and Jesus said “Whatever you do to least brothers of mine you do it for me.” And so “Peter you cannot love me without loving the Church because she is my body. You cannot love me without loving my lambs because I am the Lamb of God and so you will only love me the same in heaven, the way love a lamb here on earth.” And I am sure; Peter is one of those in heaven shouting and yelling, “Worthy is the Lamb!” This love for the lamb brought him to his death---Peter being crucified upside down.

Jesus asked if Peter, “Do you love me more than these?” Some would say that Jesus is asking Peter if he loves him more than fishing. Others would say, Jesus wants to know if Peter loves him more than the other apostles. But I believe it was more than that, more dramatic than being compared to a fishing profession. I believe Jesus saw a very happy Peter, because Peter is so happy that his friend was there eating with them. Peter was so happy for the catch of 153. Peter was so engrossed with the moment of camaraderie and reunion. Jesus wants to know, up to what extent can you love me. Can you love me even if I am not anymore doing miracles in your life? Can you love me even if loving me will bring you to persecution and much more death? Can you love when everyone else in the world seems to be unloving to you? And Peter said, YES! Jesus gave the follow up statement that one day it wouldn’t be like this. You will be old and people will lead you to ways you do not want to and even to your death. Peter still said yes.

Application

Jesus wants to know how much you love him. How did you experience the Risen Lord after three weeks of attending the Easter Season?

Bored

What can I do? Hindi naman ako makakapunta sa One Earth One Journey concert and I believe impossible na rin na makaattend ako sa recital sa St Cecillia Hall bukas.

That would be two great events na palalagpasin ko na lang.

Here at home waiting for my Mom to arrive...

Ha... what else can I do but watch TV and eat.

I don't have to worry kasi marami pang opportunities na darating sa buhay and that makes life so exciting di ba?

Countertenors

Justin Bieber is one of the most admired and celebrated musicians of this generation. Indeed this boy is a treble. A treble young male singer who sounds like a mezzo soprano. I want to give credits to other male singers who are undeniably extraordinaire with their vocal ranges.

A countertenor is the term for the highest male singing voice making them sound like a mezzo soprano or sometimes a soprano. I will site as example the following male stars;

The first on my list is Will Young. Kung mapapansin mo sa American Idol pag nanuod ka, at may elimination, bago umalis yung na-eliminate na contestant kinakanta yung Better Leave Right Now. Siya yung nakanta nun. you can download th esong if you want in Metacafe.

Kung mahilig ka naman sa Smallville, narinig mo na siguro yung kanta "Somebody Save Me" by Remi Zero. Hindi ba isa rin siyang exampel ng counter tenor? Ang ganda ng mga kanta ng Remi Zero with that kind of voice they can never go flat in the floor. Try listening now!

Hindi natin puwedeng ipagkaila na si James Morrison ay isang counter tenor. Ang ganda talag ng boses nitong taong ito. "You give me something that makes me..." pakinggan niyo na lang. May kanta sila ni Nelly Furtado yung Broken Strings I think pinakasikat niya yun.

Narinig mo na ba yung "Your Beautiful" by James Blunt? Isa siyang counter tenor. Napakalinis ng boses niya at puwede na sa classical. May kanta siya na high na high ang boses niya at ang title is guess what? High!

Si Adam Lavigne ng Maroon 5, isa ring counter tenor. Una niya tayong pinabilib ng marinig natin ang unang stanza na kinanta niya

"Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else"

Oo ang She Will Be Loved. Matapos yun tuloy tuloy na ang pagsikat ng banda at lahat ito narating nila dahil counter tenor si Adam Lavigne. Now naghihintay pa rin ang mundo ng isa pang counter tenor to enter the scene. I am baritone so hindi ako yun.

There are still other singers who sang the same pero hindi na na mention so as to high light the aforementioned ones.

Whether you ar ecounter tenor or not, mahalaga na pinapangalagaan mo ang boses mo at may nagagawa para mas ma-improve ang singing capacities mo within your range. Smile !

Soundbites

Since it is Thursday I can write something about music
Here are the latest and coolest updates about music as of this month...



I stayed late at night I watched the show of Yeng Constantino. All music lovers who are into OPM, I think that is a good show for you. Late na nga lang...

Tonight will be the first concert of Olivier Ochanine, new music director of PPO at the Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo CCP complex. A debut but a closing for the season. Hope they will all like the style of a French American musician.

Tomorrow April 16 will be the benefit concert for Earth Day celebration to be hosted by my idol of course Richard Gutierrez. Naroon ang Spongecola at Hale and other bands I think will be there too.Yung GMA ang may pakana nito para magkaroon sila ng gig kaya libre ang entrance I don't know about sa SMX pero sa GMA daw makakakuha ng tickets.

Latest ni Lady Gaga yung Alejandro but I feel like binabalik niya tayo sa 80's style I don't know pero yung tunog niya parang tunog na sinauna between the pop and new wave era parang ganun you just check out the song...

Pinahanga ni Justin Bieber ang mga producer sa America matapos niya mag guest sa Saturday Night Live. marami ang nagsabi na may future siya sa comedy at napaka self reliant niya. Well what else is bad with Justin Bieber? Lahat ng maganda na appraisal nasa kanya na if I would become a father I want a son who is totally similar to Justin.

Charice will laundh worldwide her single with Ayaz entitled Pyramid. Sa Oprah this coming May 12 I think or May 22? Her fourth appearance in a row para sa show ni Oprah and that will also be a birthday bash for her.

Natanggal na s America Idol si Andrew Garcia at Katie Stevens. Sad kasi talaga gusto ko si Katie na magstay pero alangan namang si Tim ang matanggal di ba eh malakas siya sa masa. What an excellent performance na pinakita ng Alumni and AI mentor this week na si Adam Lambert wow wow wow lang ang nasabi ko. Very theatrical! You can watch it now in youtube or download it in Apple.

Laws

Law is any regulative reason that explains a phenomenon. Kapag hinuli ng pulis o NBI ang criminal nagtatanong ito bakit, ang sagot kasi nilabag yung article bla bla bla section bla bla bla. Kapag naboto ka sa May 10 tatanungin ka bakit ka naboto ang sagot mo kasi sabi sa ARTICLE 5 section 1 ganito ganyan. Kapag may pila sa canteen ang explanation dun ay yung kautusan ng manager para sa regulatory measures. Kapag nasa library at tinanong mo bakit tahimik ang explanation at reason ay yung nakasulat na "Observe Silence" o yung keep quiet. Kapag nasimba ka sa Linggo at tinanong ka ang reason for that is yung 3rd commandment.

Lahat ng phenomenon may regulative reasons. They are called laws o batas. Maraming uri ng law o batas, kaya bago ako magexpound sa batas at magbigay ng points gusto ko muan i-discuss yung mga class o anyo ng batas. Una sa lahat ang Divine Law o Sagradong Batas. I hope it is self explanatory. Pero if in case hindi, wala ako sa posisyon para talakayin to, so go na ako sa ibang types.

Dalawa ang pinaka kilala sa mga batas in general, yung Laws of Nature at yung Laws of Men. Yung iba ang tawag dito ay Natural Laws at Popular Laws. Yung former, gawa ng kalikasan, batas mismo ng kalikasan at yung latter ay gawa ng tao kaya batas ng tao.

Natural Laws

Punta tayo sa Laws of Nature o Batas ng Kalikasan. May mga bagay na kailangang i-explain sa nature at ginawan ito ng pagaaral ng mga dalubhasa kaya na discover nila ang mga laws na naggo-govern rito. Ang pinaka familiar sa akin ay ang nadiscover na batas ni Isaac Newton, isang lawyer of nature. Kapag daw may inhagis ka paitaas hindi ito tutuloy sa kalawakan bagkus ay babagsak ito maliban sa lobo ha, at tinawag niya nag batas na naggo-govern rito as Law of Gravity. Ito ang pinakakilalang law of nature. Astig diba?

Pero sa pagaaral ko nung college ang pinaka primary na batas ay ang law of identity. Law of identity states that A is equivalent only to A. Kasunod ng batas na ito ang Law of Contradiction. This law states that A is equal only to A at one time and cannot be A and B at the same time. Oo nga naman. Dapat munang maintindihan lahat ito para nidni tayo malito sa matter. Hindi rin maaapektuhan ang pagcompute natin s aisang object o matter halimbawa paano mo sasabihin na gumalaw ang A object kung ang object B hindi gumalaw tapos iisa lang pala yung object A at object B. Di ba nakaklito yun?

Ang sarap pagaralan ng Laws of Nature. Sayang hindi ko puwede i-discuss lahat ang mga ito pero to give a glimpse, heto pa ang ibang kilalang laws ng kalikasan; Law of Buoyancy, Law of Inertia, Law of Momentum, Law of Excluded Middle, Boyle's Law, Hooks Law at marami pang iba. Try to study matter at www.thephysicsclassroom.com

Ang totoo niyan mayroon pang Laws of Men. I'm sure sa iba ito ang mas masarap pagaralan kasi gawa na ito ng tao for regulative reasons. Anu ano nga ba ang mga classfications of Popular Laws

1. Ecclesial Laws--- gawa ito ng simbahan hindi ng Divine
2. Political State Laws--- gawa ng tao for political measures at para sa pagpapanuto ng isang Estado.
- under nito ang Constitution o saligang batas
- ordinansa para sa mga bayan
-Coding na continuation ng alinmang state laws
- contract o kasunduan ng dalwang individual na nakalathala sa papel at may pirma.

3. Instructions and Policies--- maaaring gawa ng school, ng isang palaruan, ng isang corporate institution o ng isang pamilya o grupo para sa kaayusan ng bawat kalahok na mamamayan.

Si Aldrin Mark at Kevin dalawa sa mga kaibigan ko na noon ay nagbabalak pumasok sa Law school to take up bachelor of Laws. Isa lang ang tumuloy kasi si Kevin may anak na at nagtatrabaho na. Si Aldrin Mark Quintana... Good Luck pare sa endeavor mo.

I hope nagustuhan mo ang page na ito dedicate dfor your pursuit.

Vectors

in all aspects of life, lahat parang linear pag tiningnan mo. Lahat ng para lang isang arrow na may patutunguhan.

according www.thephysicsclassroom.com ang vector daw ay...


___________________________________________________________

Vectors and Direction

A study of motion will involve the introduction of a variety of quantities which are used to describe the physical world. Examples of such quantities include distance, displacement, speed, velocity, acceleration, force, mass, momentum, energy, work, power, etc. All these quantities can by divided into two categories - vectors and scalars. A vector quantity is a quantity which is fully described by both magnitude and direction. On the other hand, a scalar quantity is a quantity which is fully described by its magnitude. The emphasis of this unit is to understand some fundamentals about vectors and to apply the fundamentals in order to understand motion and forces which occur in two dimensions.

Examples of vector quantities which have been previously discussed include displacement, velocity, acceleration, and force. Each of these quantities are unique in that a full description of the quantity demands that both a magnitude and a direction are listed. For example, suppose your teacher tells you "A bag of gold is located outside the classroom. To find it, displace yourself 20 meters." This statement may provide yourself enough information to pique your interest; yet, there is not enough information included in the statement to find the bag of gold. The displacement required to find the bag of gold has not been fully described. On the other hand, suppose your teacher tells you "A bag of gold is located outside the classroom. To find it, displace yourself from the center of the classroom door 20 meters in a direction 30 degrees to the west of north." This statement now provides a complete description of the displacement vector - it lists both magnitude (20 meters) and direction (30 degrees to the west of north) relative to a reference or starting position (the center of the classroom door). Vector quantities are not fully described unless both magnitude and direction are listed.

Vector quantities are often represented by scaled vector diagrams. Vector diagrams depict a vector by use of an arrow drawn to scale in a specific direction. Vector diagrams were introduced and used in earlier units to depict the forces acting upon an object. Such diagrams are commonly called as free-body diagrams. An example of a scaled vector diagram is shown in the diagram at the right. The vector diagram depicts a displacement vector. Observe that there are several characteristics of this diagram which make it an appropriately drawn vector diagram.

* a scale is clearly listed
* a vector arrow (with arrowhead) is drawn in a specified direction. The vector arrow has a head and a tail.
* the magnitude and direction of the vector is clearly labeled. In this case, the diagram shows the magnitude is 20 m and the direction is (30 degrees West of North).





Conventions for Describing Directions of Vectors

Vectors can be directed due East, due West, due South, and due North. But some vectors are directed northeast (at a 45 degree angle); and some vectors are even directed northeast, yet more north than east. Thus, there is a clear need for some form of a convention for identifying the direction of a vector which is not due East, due West, due South, or due North. There are a variety of conventions for describing the direction of any vector. The two conventions which will be discussed and used in this unit are described below:

1. The direction of a vector is often expressed as an angle of rotation of the vector about its "tail" from either east, west, north, or south. For example, a vector can be said to have a direction of 40 degrees North of West (meaning a vector pointing West has been rotated 40 degrees towards the northerly direction) of 65 degrees East of South (meaning a vector pointing South has been rotated 65 degrees towards the easterly direction).
2. The direction of a vector is often expressed as an counterclockwise angle of rotation of the vector about its "tail" from due East. Using this convention, a vector with a direction of 30 degrees is a vector which has been rotated 30 degrees in a counterclockwise direction relative to due east. A vector with a direction of 160 degrees is a vector which has been rotated 160 degrees in a counterclockwise direction relative to due east. A vector with a direction of 270 degrees is a vector which has been rotated 270 degrees in a counterclockwise direction relative to due east. This is one of the most common conventions for the direction of a vector and will be utilized throughout this unit.



Two illustrations of the second convention (discussed above) for identifying the direction of a vector are shown below.

Observe in the first example that the vector is said to have a direction of 40 degrees. You can think of this direction as follows: suppose a vector pointing East had its tail pinned down and then the vector was rotated an angle of 40 degrees in the clockwise direction. Observe in the second example that the vector is said to have a direction of 240 degrees. This means that the tail of the vector was pinned down and the vector was rotated an angle of 240 degrees in the counterclockwise direction beginning from due east. A rotation of 240 degrees is equivalent to rotating the vector through two quadrants (180 degrees) and then an additional 60 degrees into the third quadrant.




Representing the Magnitude of a Vector

The magnitude of a vector in a scaled vector diagram is depicted by the length of the arrow. The arrow is drawn a precise length in accordance with a chosen scale. For example, the diagram at the right shows a vector with a magnitude of 20 miles. Since the scale used for constructing the diagram is 1 cm = 5 miles, the vector arrow is drawn with a length of 4 cm. That is, 4 cm x (5 miles/1 cm) = 20 miles.

Using the same scale (1 cm = 5 miles), a displacement vector which is 15 miles will be represented by a vector arrow which is 3 cm in length. Similarly, a 25 mile displacement vector is represented by a 5-cm long vector arrow. And finally, an 18 mile displacement vector is represented by a 3.6-cm long arrow. See the examples shown below.


__________________________________________________

In short, ang vector ay may tatlong bahagi,
ang arrow head
ang length na tumatayong pinakabody niya at
ang tail which is the point of origin ng vector.

Parang napakagandang pagmasdan ng tail. pagaralan natin at kilalanin.

Tail

Ang tail ang tumutukoy sa simulain ng buhay. Hindi ba lahat may pinanggagalingan? ito yung pinaka composed objective ng isang nilalang o ng isang adhikain, ng isang proyekto. lahat meron nito. Ang kulturang pinagmulan natin, ang wika na ginagamit natin, ang lahi kung saan tayo may nakagisnang kahapon. Lahat tumutukoy sa tail ng vector.

Length

Ang haba ng length ang sumusukat sa vector. Ang layo ng nararating ng vector ay depende sa haba ng pagitan ng head at tail. Kung kaya mas gusto ko itong tawaging body. Ang isang tao na tulad rin ng vector ay may mga karanasan. Mas nakikita natin yung lalim ng pagkatao sa karanasan. Yung pinagdaanan. Ang ganda kasi bawat guhit na bahagi ng vector dinaanan muna ng head kaya ang tawag pinagdaanan. Yung wisdom, yung mga accomplishments lahat yun nakapaloob sa body ng vector. Yung haba ng ginugol na pagmamahal. Lahat may kinalaman sa length. Maaaring length of time o haba ng pagitan at puwang lahat yun may kinalaman sa haba ng vector. Yung lalim ng isang tao parang haba lang ng isang vector.

Arrow head

Ano ang sinisimbulo nito sayo? Sa akin nakikita ko, pagasa. Yung head nakaturo sa kung saan patungo. Nakatuon sa isang bukas na darating pa lamang at dadaanan. Parang biro pero hanggat hindi pa siya isang line segment, may continuation pa siya. Buhay pa ang vector. Ang arrow head rin ang nagtuturo sa atin ng direction kung East, West, North o South. Alam natin kung saan at hanggang saan ang vector. Alam natin na nagpupunyagi ang vector para humaba. Tulad ng isang tao na naghahangad na lumalim sa kanyang sariling pagkatao.

---Maaring lahat sa buhay ay vector. Ang isang relasyon na may simula at may patutunguhan at mayroon ring pinagdaanan ay gaya nga ng vector. Pero kung susundin mo ang metodo ng Pagvevector, siguruhain mong madadagdagan mo ng kulay ang bawat linya na kakatawan sa haba nito o sa body nito.

Saan patungo ang vector mo?

Rescuer

This Friday, April 16 2010, gaganapin ang isang malakihang Earth Day Party hosted by my idol Richard Kristian Gutierrez. Pang apat na ito sa series niya ng anti global warming environment advocacy programs. Una yung Signos na humakot ng katakut takot na parangal, pangalawa yung Planet Philippines at pangatlo yung TV programs niya sa GMA na Full Force Nature. Now may paconcert naman siya One Earth. Dapat nga siya ang bigyan ng award sa US at hindi si Gloria na tatanggap ngayon ng teddy Roosevelt award for Environment. Damang dama na ang effects ng climate change hindi na maitatanggi. Lalo na nung magpunta ako sa Cavite last week lang, talagang pagpapawisan ka ng krudo dahils ainit at tuyong tuyo na lahat ng mga damo doon pati angmga gulay pansin mo talaga iba sa gulay sa Laguna na parang hindi sariwa yung sa Cavite.
We have to rescue our planet. This is all we have here in the universe. There is no other home waiting for us. Kapag mayaman ka may rest house ka na puwede puntahan kapag mainit, pero wala tayong resting planet na pupuntahan when everything goes wrong with Earth.

I feel responsible too for rescuing the Earth pero hindi ko kaya mag isa lalo namang hindi kaya ni idol magisa. Sana nga hindi siya tumigil para sa Climate Change Awareness series niya. Six years ago on this very day nasa majayjay kami ng mga highschool classmates ko. Pumunta kami sa Tatay Falls, malinaw ang tubig, malamig at masarap habang kasama mo lahat ang kaibigan mo. Sana anotehr six years may pass at ganuon pa rin iyon. Let us preserve nature at its best!

Aside from planet Earth, marami pa pala ako dapat i-rescue. They are;

Family--- Financially, dapat ma rescue ang family ko. All this time I thought may trabaho ako. Pero nag eenjoy lang pala ako. At the end tinatanong pa rin nial ako kung full time work na talaga ako. Yung mag bibigay ng incentives at makakapakinabang sila. My stay with my aunt's house brought a lot of relaizations to me. Yung kahirapan na hindi ko makukubli s afamily at relatives ko. Umaasa talaga sila. imagine I have to save not only a family but a clan. Sa mga converstaions ko pa lang kina Ate Jerlyn at Ate Maribel, i know they are hoping, and their hope is in me.

My Reputation--- Hindi puwedeng hindi ang sagot. Kailangan siyang ma rescue. My credibility and honor is drowning. Sana nga ganun lang kabilis ang mabuhay, just to survive and keep on being alive. Pero kailangan kong panghawakan ang respetong ini-enjoy ko noon. It is gradually fading as of now.

My Believers--- they are not my family neither loved ones but they are there to support me in all aspects be they financial or morale, hindi ko pa sila kayang biguin. Marami pa akong magagawa para itaas uli ang noo nila when they hear my name and people say "Kakilala mo siya di ba?"


Along the line... i am not the only rescuer. When I learned about Richard rescuing Cristine during teh Ondoy phenomenon, I felt like my idol is indeed a hero. that was not my case. Baligtad! I was rescues by [ according to Silverstein] my heroine.

Alam naman ng lahat na dati akong walang respeto sa babae until I wasa rescued by the Empress. Ang tunay na pagmamahal hindi nabibitawan. Lalong tumatagal lalo ka nitong ililigtas. I thank God there wasa someone who rescued me from a lonely life. Everyone knows who she is.

Welcoming Jesus, The Bringer of Mercy

Every second Sunday of Easter we celebrate the Divine Mercy Sunday. As suggested by the link below,

http://catholicism.about.com/od/holydaysandholidays/p/Divine_Mercy_Su.htm

we can read the following catholic info;

The Feast of Divine Mercy, celebrated on the Octave of Easter (the Sunday after Easter Sunday), is a relatively new addition to the Roman Catholic liturgical calendar. Celebrating the Divine Mercy of Jesus Christ, as revealed by Christ Himself to Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, this feast was extended to the entire Catholic Church by Pope John Paul II on April 30, 2000, the day that he canonized Saint Faustina.

A plenary indulgence (the forgiveness of all temporal punishment resulting from sins that have already been confessed) is granted on the Feast of Divine Mercy if to all the faithful who go to Confession, receive Holy Communion, pray for the intentions of the Holy Father, and "in any church or chapel, in a spirit that is completely detached from the affection for a sin, even a venial sin, take part in the prayers and devotions held in honour of Divine Mercy, or who, in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament exposed or reserved in the tabernacle, recite the Our Father and the Creed, adding a devout prayer to the merciful Lord Jesus (e.g. 'Merciful Jesus, I trust in you!')."

A partial indulgence (the remission of some temporal punishment from sin) is granted to the faithful "who, at least with a contrite heart, pray to the merciful Lord Jesus a legitimately approved invocation."

Sister Mary Faustina Kowalska is a Polish nun, mystic and visionary who is now a saint because of the Divine Mercy Devotion. The one we pray in Channel 2 every 3pm.

_____________________________________________________

This Sunday I want to talk a little about the Divine Mercy and inject once in a while some pondered thoughts from today s Gospel reading. The Gospel for Divine Mercy is taken from John 20: 19-31

On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you." When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you." And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained." Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and place my finger in the mark of the nails, and place my hand in his side, I will not believe." Eight days later, his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. The doors were shut, but Jesus came and stood among them, and said, "Peace be with you." Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side; do not be faithless, but believing." Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe." Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

This time the apostles were so scared for their lives. No more Jesus they thought. they were in a room with doors totally locked. Then suddenly Jesus came in from the walls and stood amidst all of them there. The consoling words were given; "Peace be with you"
- With these words, Jesus reassured them of well being and personal convenience because they were too scared and because he is already there.
- With these words, Jesus made vivid that there is already union with God who formerly hates them.
- With these words, Jesus gave them subjective peace; the feeling that God is no longer hating but forgiving. He can now remove sins, so instead of "Shame on you!" the word given is "peace be unto you".
- Jesus understood that there is a hostile world of unbeliever waiting to persecute them for their belief so He wants them to be prepared by giving them a peace that comes from Him.

If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."

This is only for the apostles and those anointed after they died. Not everyone can forgive sins against God. if somebody hurts you, you can but unless a minister, we cannot absolve anyone from sins. They need to repent personally to God and go to confession. Only the priest representing God can absolve sins by the fact that God already forgave the person. Confession is a sacrament. It is the humane manifestation of divine forgiveness which we receive by directly confessing it to God but to assure us of the ecclesiastical forgiveness as a human person and as a manifestation, we need to go to Church and confess to someone anointed to forgive sins.

You see mercy can only be attained when there is peace but the effect of mercy is forgiveness. A person who is at peace with God can feel mercy towards others and thus be capable of forgiving those who made mistakes in the past.

Now I want to zero into the story of Thomas. I consider it a plan of God. Thomas was intended to be absent at the time Jesus showed himself to the apostles for a reason. It is Jesus' opportunity to show a deep mercy and an opportunity to let us know how we can distinguish him in heaven. it is like telling us "Hey you can see me in heaven immediately because I am the only one among all persons there who has a mark of nails in my hands."

they kept telling Thomas but Thomas refused to believe. he is convinced that Jesus is dead. But he is honest. He is firm to scientific evidence. I find him very scientific and it goes to show that Thomas is aware of everything, in his sanity all those times. Even if 100 are united in one testimony but he did not experience materially, he will doubt. other theories suggest that it is because of Thomas' temperament and frustrations because he expect Jesus to be a liberator of Israel. Either way, somethings are really wrong with Thomas and I would like to enumerate them one by one.

1. He did not pay heed to what Christ said during the time He is alive. Even doubted the Old testament.

2. He did not regard the testimony of the ten apostles who were men of integrity.

3. He tempted Jesus and limited Christ to the only method he knows which is science.

4. His offense gave discouragement to the apostles. All things went wrong with Thomas.

But I like to pinpoint that it was not only Thomas who doubted the Resurrection. Mk 16: 9-14 gives us a glimpse of how the apostles doubted. There is no inferiority to Thomas' faith. Jesus did not say more blessed are those, He only said "Blessed are those who believe yet did not see" So it is an approval of Jesus to Thomas not a rebuke. Both parties are blessed. If the other group is more blessed then the only one who is more blessed is John because he remained with Jesus up to his death and believed the resurrection without seeing it as read in last Sunday's Gospel.

Application;

What can we learn from Thomas experience?

1. We should mark how much Christians may loose by not regularly attending the assemblies of God's people {particularly the Mass}. Thomas absented with no good reason. The comfort you need might be there.
- If Jesus appeared during the Sunday Holy Mass but you weren't there, you might have missed something in your life.

2. How kind and merciful Jesus is to dull and slow believers. There is no record in the other gospels how patient and loving Christ is to this ungentle and stubborn child.
- I think this is why it is read during Divine Mercy Sunday. the mercy of Jesus to dull apostles and believers is limitless. there is no heroic act done by Thomas in all the gospel stories. It was only after the encounter with the Risen Lord. He proclaimed the greatest proclamation that venerates Jesus.

3. Corollary to the proclamation of Thomas after the encounter, how Christ was addressed by a disciple as "God" without rebuke and rejection and correction. A testimony of His divinity that He accepted and never refused. the divinity of Christ is one fundamental truth of faith.
- It was planned by Jesus so we can really say like Thomas after our encounter with Him in the Easter Vigil "My Lord and My God." I hope we all shout to the world all Easter long that Jesus is our God and we are children of the Easter Morning.

Amazing Singers

Wow... and all I can say is wow. No matter how small or big the screen, these AI finalist never cease to amaze me. Maliit lang ang TV nila tita dito sa Cavite pero ok lang kasi naman ang galing ni Kacey James and his rendition of Jealous Guy na kinanta at pinasikat ni John Lennon. Kung buhay ang tatay ko magugustuhan niyang panuorin na ini immortalize nila ang Beatles. My name was taken from Sir Paul McArtney who is leading singer of the band.

Ang ganda ng mga comments ng mga judge at syempre hindi kumpleto ang saya kung hindi ko babanggitin ang fantastic ang overwhelming dance and song number packed in one ni Jason Derulo. Oh shit! talagang fantastic ang talents niya at halatang proud na proud na proud sa kanya si Kara DioGuardi. ang galing naman din Katie Stevens at Siobhan at ni Mama Sax. Wow the songs are so good. Eh kasi naman lahat ng kinanta nila nasa Beatle playlist ko. Ang saya kasi walang tinanggal this week at madami pang aabangan next week although hindi kasing hot ng week na ito dahil sa hindi na Lennon MacArtney ang repertoire at wala nang Jason Derulo. Pero ok pa rin as long as music is a part of it ok lang.

Shakingly Shocking

Things that shocked me lately;

Lumindol nanaman and just as it used to be, again, sa America. Mexacali ang sentro pero damged din ng 7.2 magnitude na lindol ang ilang parts ng Estados Unidos at Mexico. I immediately checked on Kolby Houghton, my facebook friend, para mabalita kung apektado ba sila. Thank God, patuloy pa rin siyang nabubuhay. What's even worse is the fact na walang paliwanag kung bakit napapadalas ang lindol at puro hinala na lang na que sio mainit daw ngayon dahil sa El Niño at kung anu-ano pa. Last January lang sa Haiti, na malapit sa Mexico, lumindol. February, hindi pa tumatagal, lumindol naman sa Chile. Both Latin countries at ngayon Mexico. Sobrang hot kasi ngmga chicks doon eh baka hindi mapigilan ng mga bulkan. Sa dami ng mga infrastructure na kailangang itayo this year, kailangan ng extrang pagiingat para maiwasan ang mga pagguho tuwing lindol. Dalawa ang namatay sa nakaraang lindol, 1oo sugatan. Lalo dapat magingat ang mga nagtatayo ng additional buildings sa mga schools.

Speaking of schools, sa Ateneo, latest issue yung nangyari kay Manny Pangilinan. Isn't it shocking na isang chairman of the board ng Ateneo de Manila who graduated cum laude sa college of economics ang paratangang hindi nagiisip ng bagong speech. Kahit na sabihin pang may iba pang gumawa ng speech, he is responsible about it. Dapat binasa at niresearch niya yun. I mean, we are talking here of property rights. Sa mga ginagawa ko gusto ko may permission bago pakialaman o gayahin kaya dapat talaga maayos ito at huwag ng tularan. Hindi enough na siguruhin mong walang nagta-transcribe niyan pero dapat may respeto tayo sa pagaari ng isip ng iba.

10 days to go na lang pala before the first gala of Olivier Ochanine sa CCP. Shocked by the fact na baka magkabiglaan na lang. Sir Mario Barlolong will be there with his students. Hindi ko pa alam about me. Gusto ko talaga makapunta. Bakit ang bilis ng araw?

Manny Pacquiao, ininsulto ng isang podcaster na Italian-American. Hahaha... ang nakaka-shock lang dito ay binastos ang buto ng mga Pilipino. Napakasensitive daw natin dahil ayaw magpakuha ng sample blood ni Pacquiao. Eh ano naman.! Bakit damay pa lahat ng Pilipino? Ano ang kinalaman namin doon? Ang hina ng kukote nung komedyanteng yan. Baka isang suntok lang yan ni Pacquiao. Sa bagay. Yan talaga ang napapala ng isang bansang umaasa lang ng katanyagan sa isang tao na nanununtok at pinapatunayan ang sarili sa pamamagitan ng pagpapatumba ng isang tao. I have nothing against boxing pero yan repercussion ng ganitong buhay. Dapat may iba pang pride ang Pilipinas. Meron naman pero hindi nabui-build up gaya ni Efren Peñaflorida na youth leader.

Napagusapan ang youth leader. Nakaka-shock malaman na si Sheena Loraine Orolfo is running as councilor for Rizal. Hanggang ngayon kino-confirm ko pa ito. Allegedly, tatakbo daw for public office itong si Sheena. Yes si Sheena Loraine nga. Isa sa pinakapinagkakatiwalaan kong tao si Sheena sa mundo pero teka, parang kailan lang eh batang yagit lang si Sheena at ngayon ay tumatakbo sa konseho, alam kaya niya ang pinapasok niya? Una kaming nagkita noong 2007. Third year highschool siya at third year college naman ako. Umattend ako ng graduation niya noong 2008, highscool. So that means third year college pa lang siya ngayon. Kaya please pakitigil na ang rumors na may gusto ako sa kanya... napakalayo ng agwat namin sa edad. Yung iba kasi pinagpapatuloy lang yung tradition ng pamilya kahit hindi talag anatural politician. Just like the case of Keshia. I am not saying na wala akong tiwala sa pagtakbo niya. Keshia is an intelligent woman, tapos na siya ng college unlike Sheena, at may experiences na talag siya sa Nursing dept ng FEU. Ang sinasabi ko baka pareho sila ng case, kasi ang Daddy ni Keshia ay dating councilor who finished the term.

Lastly, bukas na pala, surprisingly ang anniversary noong outing namin last year sa Sabang, the first complete attendance outing na hindi pa nasusunda hanggang ngayon. I hope that we will have another round with Regine, Daryl, Jopeth, isaac, Jemoy, Je, and Edison. Bukas na nga...
Well, things are shaky lately. Pero pinakamaganda, no matter what shocked us, remain calm and placid so that everything will go well.

Jesus' Resurrection is Always FIRST

This year, the Resurrection Sunday falls on the first Sunday of April. First Sunday both of the month and of the season. The very first glorious mystery of the Holy Rosary. The Lord Jesus did not accidentally rise on the first day of the week, He planned to. I also believe that He rose the first hour of that day. Jesus wants to be first in your life. I want to write about Him first as we approach the season of Easter. And as a special column, I will expound on the Scripture verse by verse so that the message will be richer in substance.

Now on the first day of the week Mary Mag'dalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. Jn 20: 1

John started to narrate the Resurrection account with the time element for two reasons. To testify that he is certain of the event and by such, verify that it is historical; and the second one is to give a point for the impossibility of stealing. Because they say that the body of Jesus was stolen but it was still dark and the previous day was a Sabbath, a day of rest and nobody would dare steal on a Sabbath. Mary Magdalene signifies the role of women in the mission of bringing Jesus which is also visible in John chapter 4, remember the Samaritan woman who left her jar and told her neighbors about Jesus.

So she ran, and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him." .v2

The authority of Peter which is regarded by the apostles and by women is showcased in this verse. Mary Magdalene went to Peter and the other disciple which is John himself. John testifies that he is present on the occasion. The assumption of Mary Magdalene is that the body was stolen. No one is thinking about the resurrection yet.

Peter then came out with the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb. They both ran, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first ,v3-4

My explanation to this is about the way they reached the tomb. Peter was the first to run but it was John who reached the tomb first. It is symbolic to the way they think and the way the Spirit moves to them. Peter is always first to receive the gift and information but it is always John who is first to process the information and master the gift of the Spirit.

There are two theoretical reasons why Peter was late to reach the tomb.

1. Peter is older than John. John is young and of course physiologically capable than an old man.
2. Peter weighs heavier than John. John is slimmer and capable to run faster than Peter who is heavier.

And stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; he saw the linen cloths lying, and the napkin, which had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself.

John may have reached the tomb first but his respect for Peter is very visible because he did not enter the tomb but let Peter be first in entering the place. Other theories will involve the difference of their personalities. Peter is more impulsive than John. John use to pause a while and ponder and think and investigate but Peter always want to be in action without reference to critical thinking. Yet in the difference of the two they were able to live in a good communion as Christians. Other theories suggested that John hesitated to walk inside because of the Jewish customs of paying respect to burial places which was disregarded by Peter out of his love for Jesus. There are also lots of old folk stories, myth and traditional courses which hindered John from entering the tomb.

Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not know the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. ,v8-9

If you will take a deeper look into this, we can say that

Peter was the first to run but John first reached the place.

John was the first to reach but Peter was first to enter.

Peter was first to enter and to see the cloth and the evidences but

John was first to understood and to believe about the Resurrection.

John believed the Resurrection without any remembrance of the scripture prophecies as proven by verse 9. It was John who first understood the message of Resurrection yet Peter was there. Now how did he understand it?

and the napkin, which had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself.===

It is evident that the linen cloths were rolled up and no thief will do that if they really stole the body they would have taken the cloth but it was rolled up in a place by itself which means Jesus did not remove the cloth from his body but He just stood out leaving it. His body is not anymore bounded by space it can move out from that cloth without removing it and that is proven in Luke chapter 24 verse 36 “As they were saying this, Jesus himself stood among them. But they were startled and frightened, and supposed that they saw a spirit” Jesus pass through the walls and stood among them so they were frightened.

Jesus assumed a glorified body and that John understood when he saw the burial cloth still rolled as if nobody removed it from Jesus.

Commentary =

What can we learn about the Resurrection account of John? It is not only a beautiful literature but also a preaching for Catholic Christian. Here are some of the conclusions we can draw from what we read;

1. The Resurrection of Jesus is historically, rationally, and criminologically true. All detailed statements of John suggest that the apostles are on their right mind when they approached the tomb as narrated in verse 9. They is no foreknowledge of the prophecies and of the teachings about the rising of Jesus on the third day. They believed because of the evidence they found inside the burial place.

2. The promise of Resurrection in the Last Day and Glorious Body is true. If Jesus did not rise from the dead, we cannot be certain about the resurrection on the last day, the Christian belief is futile if not for the Resurrection. Paul makes it clear by writing about it as proven by 1 Cor. 15: 12-19; 22; 42-44; 50-57. All these verses testify to the truthfulness of Christian resurrection and the promise of a glorified body. Jesus assumed a glorified body which can transit from physical boundaries. We will have that type of body too in a flash. A glorified body we will wear for eternity. Still the same but not as it used to be. The perishable will be changed into imperishable, the body of weakness will become body of power and glory, a body once natural will be changed into spiritual. Our faith is not in vain.

3. Jesus, among all founders of religion, is God. Only Jesus rose from the dead and that brings us to conclusion that He is God. Ninoy Aquino and Mahatma Gandhi were men of righteousness and credibility, but they did not rose from the dead. they died and until now dead. They are called martyrs. Jesus is not a martyr, not even a hero. Jesus is a redeemer. he is the only way for ever lasting life. We can rest assure that there is victory over death as St. Paul said "Where oh death is your sting? Where oh death is your victory." For a Christian who believes in the resurrection there is fear of death no more. We are not scared of death because Jesus Christ is alive and He can raise us again in last day. Maybe the matrix is true

Peter was the first to run but John first reached the place.

John was the first to reach but Peter was first to enter.

Peter was first to enter and to see the cloth and the evidences but

John was first to understood and to believe about the Resurrection

but it is not about who among these two was first. Here is the good news---
Jesus is first to rise from the dead, the first fruit of new creations. it doesn't matter who came to the tomb first. What really matter is who is the first one to rise from the grave. He who raised up Jairus' daughter, He who raised up Lazarus from the grave. He who will raise us up again in glory in the Second Coming. If he did not then everything else is non sense but He did. Jesus is first!
