Deserving Gift
03-20-2015
“You always hear the phrase, money doesn’t buy you happiness. But I always in the back of my mind figured a lot of money will buy you a little bit of happiness. But it’s not really true.”
Does having more money give you more problems?
10 If you love money, you will never be satisfied; if you long to be rich, you will never get all you want. It is useless. 11 The richer you are, the more mouths you have to feed. All you gain is the knowledge that you are rich. 12 Workers may or may not have enough to eat, but at least they can get a good night's sleep. The rich, however, have so much that they stay awake worrying. 13 Here is a terrible thing that I have seen in this world: people save up their money for a time when they may need it, 14 and then lose it all in some bad deal and end up with nothing left to pass on to their children. 15 We leave this world just as we entered it—with nothing. In spite of all our work there is nothing we can take with us. 16 It isn't right! We go just as we came. We labor, trying to catch the wind, and what do we get? 17 We get to live our lives in darkness and grief, worried, angry, and sick. 18 Here is what I have found out: the best thing we can do is eat and drink and enjoy what we have worked for during the short life that God has given us; this is our fate. 19 If God gives us wealth and property and lets us enjoy them, we should be grateful and enjoy what we have worked for. It is a gift from God. 20 Since God has allowed us to be happy, we will not worry too much about how short life is. (Ecclesiastes 5:10-20 GNT)
Having happiness is like chasing the wind. We work hard to get rich and then when we are rich, we still chase that elusive wind called happiness. Everyone thinks that marriage will give them happiness also but it didn't, for it just gave them more grief.
Happiness is a gift. It is special for those who deserve it that only God can give. But, we still have to work hard for God to give us wealth and enjoy them. If you love money, you will never be satisfied; it's like chasing the wind.
So, do you deserve to be happy?
Hope

Hope
If only we could buy a pack of hope and forget all our problems. Money, food, relationships, and work. And now, we also carry the world in our sedans because of climate change, as if our worries are not enough already. But, the truth is there is hope. God has something good in store for us, no, something more wonderful than this; it's so grand it is a secret. We can't see it yet because God wants to surprise us like our birthday party when we were small, or like that wedding ring on your finger. God is not evil. He won't give His sons and daughters something they wouldn't want because that is what we all want- eternal life.

"Why Would I Never Learn?"
03-12-2015
Learning is part of life; we learn everyday. In school when we were still small until we grow up, we learned things that were needed in order to live and be successful, achieving our goals.
That is why it is important to have good and proper education, for it is education that forms our being. Education is crucial in the life of a person for it teaches us what to do and help avoid mistakes. It is said:
13 Always remember what you have learned. Your education is your life—guard it well. (Proverbs 4:13 GNT)
Education is a process of learning and doing. You may not get it right the first time but with iteration, there is refinement until you get it right. "We learn by our own mistakes," as the adage goes, and through practice and hard work, makes it perfect.
The process is simple: Study->Think->Learn->Do then looped to Study again.
First, we learn from teachers, parents, and friends from what they say and by reading books, through the Internet and experiences.
Second, we think then comes understanding.
Third, we learn what we know.
Finally, we do what we have learned. If what we did is wrong, we try to study again and go through the process of learning. Or, if it's correct, we also go back to start and study new things and innovations through the whole process again. This is based from my experience and thinking that might be taken into consideration (Yes, I am still learning).
In school, our teachers talk all day imparting their knowledge to us so we know. They give quizzes, exams to test us if we learned something about learning. And through learning, applying it in our everyday lives. Study, Think, Learn and Do is the process of learning. As we move forward, we must be equipped enough to do our work and jobs, living independently, and even teaching others of what we have learned. In the end, don't be like this:
12 and you will say, “Why would I never learn? Why would I never let anyone correct me? (Proverbs 5:12 GNT)

Filipinos Invented the New Macbook Battery?
You call this: "Ifugao" Technology!
It seems that they copied the tech for battery of their new Macbook from Banaue Rice Terraces which is one of The Great Wonders of the World!

iWork or Office?
03-06-2015
Which is better, iWork or Microsoft Office? (It's like I'm going to receive alot of troll dolls as a present). I used Microsoft Office for the longest time than iWork, and I would prefer to study hard and make my letters' grammar correctly. What's the use of thousands of pesos software when your grammar is wrong? (except that you will hear alot of laughters in the office and alot of scorn from your boss).
I remember my co-worker asking me for help about how to align a paragraph in Word and I just said that she use Excel. (Why would you use Excel for letter writing instead of Word?). Then, she keeps on insisting on using Word when my boss passed by and heard her complaining. My boss just said to use Excel. Of course she got mad and sworn to avenge herself that day (which never came because she's good and all).
The moral lesson of the story is like The Elmo Sesame's Street Show, which teaches you: "Whatever works!"

Forgive
03-01-2015
I regret nothing (except the time when I stuck our Tamaraw on reverse and went through our gates and to the street. My mom was so furious I was praying hard for forgiveness, crying in front of our maid who was ironing clothes). Well to be honest I regret my sins I did in the past, but that was the past. It keeps on haunting me till the present and even asked for their forgiveness.
Now, forgiven and guilt free, I am now happy! (like the toothpaste commercial). It's like somebody who has grown wings and could fly high in the sky (until someone shoots at it, grill it, and have dinner like we used to in my childhood with my dad. It even tasted like chicken). My goal today is to work hard (like everyone who applies for work in a very big company). No really, I'm working hard nowadays and been very busy (Saving the world again? ugh). I thought now everyone will take me seriously because I teach Bible and life, but it doesn't hurt to laugh now and then and have fun.
Right?
Happy While You Work?
02-26-2015
Why do we toil everyday huh? For the future of our kids right? But, the problem is we don't know if our kids will just throw it all away, because they are fools like most people. They might just use the money to buy expensive toys or buy an expensive house by the lake (where a famous actor once lived). Or travel the world on a cruise ship where everyday is party. It may happen right?
King Solomon said, "All is vanity." It's better that you enjoy the wealth you toiled for day and night, from Mondays to Fridays and go ahead drink and eat and be merry! BUT, if you lived like a sinner, no matter how you drink and be merry you won't be happy. There is no joy for someone who are sinners, and only people who has God will have that abundant joy even they have so much little.
