Reality of Marriage

2010-06-28T23:27:00.000-07:00

They say, when you marry, you are receiving a blessing from God. Maybe yes but some may say that the union wasn't exactly what they thought. I have here some of the 'real' and 'reel' situations of what some have experienced after the bounties of saying I do's. The intention is pure fun and not to scare anyone out of wedlock..

God’s Plan

2010-06-13T23:24:00.000-07:00

Gideon assembled his army of 32,000 men to fight, but the Lord told Gideon “You have too many warriors with you” (Judg. 7:2). Gideon was faithful in reducing his troop count as the Lord directed, and the Lord responded to Gideon: “With these three hundred men I will rescue you and give you victory over the Midianites” (Judg. 7:7).

Many people often speak of this victory that the Lord gave to Gideon, but prior to it, Gideon had proven his faithfulness to the Lord in many less significant tasks. Gideon destroyed his father’s altar to Baal, cut down the Asherah pole, built an altar to the Lord, and sacrificed a bull as a burnt offering. We often see the results of people around us and want the same for ourselves, but what we don’t often know about is the years of faithfulness that preceded the visible result.
Are you faithful in the little things around you that the Lord has called you to do or are you just looking for the one big “moment?”

In the parable of the talents, those servants who utilized their talents well received more.
Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. — Matt. 25:21, 23

Where are you in your life? Are you living it out to the fullest or do you feel it has passed you by?

We often find ourselves asking and praying for “change,” but when we are faced with the actual possibility, can we handle it? Do we embrace it? Or are we just more comfortable living a mediocre life?

Don’t just go through the motions of prayer and sharing your “prayer request.”
Don’t disregard taking the little steps in your life because you don’t see the bigger picture.
Don’t stop believing that God has a wonderful and prosperous plan for your life.
Gideon lifted himself of the bottom of the winepress and decided to lead the fight against the Midianites. It may be time for you to climb out of the bottom of your winepress and start believing that whatever you ask, you will receive.

Gideon wanted proof that it was the Lord speaking; the Lord wants trust and obedience from us. Live each day as a gift from God, not as a sentence for unhappiness.
Your life is an occasion, rise to it.

Believe

2010-05-16T23:24:00.000-07:00

After years of working the same job and doing the same thing, it’s easy to fall into a stagnant, mind-numbing state of being. It may be hard to believe that anything will ever change. You go to work—you see the same people. You go to church—you see the same people. You come home—you see the same people (or not), and nothing changes.

In the bowels of the winepress, Gideon spoke like many of us have done or have wanted to, “If the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us (or me)?” (Judg. 6:13).

Gideon may not have believed that the Lord had greater plans to use him and had just resigned to live his days out hiding from the Midianites. In the movie, Molly shared similar sentiments, “It’s just what it is, nothing more.” Have you ever had similar thoughts? I have wondered to myself if there was “anything more.” At times I have felt as if I am the only Christian on earth that hadn’t been given his “working papers.”

Gideon, like many of us, needed proof before believing, “If you are truly going to help me, show me a sign to prove that it is really the Lord speaking to me” (Judg. 6:17). And the Lord did.
“Then Gideon said to God, ‘If you are truly going to use me to rescue Israel as you promised, prove it to me in this way …” (Judg. 6:36). And the Lord did.
“Then Gideon said to God, ‘Please don’t be angry with me, but let me make one more request. This time …’” (Judg. 6:39). And the Lord once again had patience with Gideon and showed him that it was indeed the Lord speaking.

Again, I can see myself in Gideon. Even though I have seen the Lord work in my life time and time again, I still find myself questioning if it is truly the Lord working.

“Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” Those were the words Jesus asks his disciples in Mark 4:40. Is He asking you the same questions today? If your faith in Jesus is real, believe that He has more planned for you and wants more from you, and then live it out.
If you believe you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.— Matt. 21:22

‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’ — Jer. 29:11

There’s a cable television series called The Big Idea hosted by Donny Deutsch. The show highlights accomplishments of successful business people who have “made it big” in business with one idea. Often the “ideas” revealed are those that we have all had, wondered about or shared with friends, but we never took the steps necessary to accomplish it.
The angel of the Lord appeared to him (Gideon), and said, “Mighty hero, the Lord is with you.” — Judg. 6:12

When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he was threshing wheat at the bottom of a winepress hiding from the Midianites! Gideon must have looked around in disbelief wondering if the angel was speaking to someone else. A mighty hero? Maybe in his dreams. Nevertheless, Gideon was inspired enough at that moment to climb out of the winepress, confront the opportunity and accept the challenge.

In Matthew 25, Jesus tells the story of the parable of the talents. Each servant is given a number of talents to hold while the master is away. Two of them use their talents to gain more while one buries his talent.

I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground.
— Matt. 25:25

To this the master took the original talent from the servant and had him thrown “into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matt. 25:30). All of us have been given some special talent and purpose. “Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve” (Matt. 20:28), we are to use our gift for a greater purpose serving others.
Don’t let fears of failure, embarrassment, other people and the unknown dictate your actions. Pursue those opportunities that have been presented to you, using the gifts and talents that you have been given and look forward to being surprised by the results.
“Anything can happen” (when you believe) — Mr. Magorium, MMWE

As my friend was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from the ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they did not. My friend saw a trainer nearby and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away.

"Well," he said, "when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free." My friend was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were.

Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before? So make an attempt to grow further.... Why shouldn't we try it again?

Nature's Wonder

2009-09-16T22:32:00.000-07:00

Sally Asks God

2009-09-11T08:39:00.000-07:00

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL (where was God when I needed Him Most?

Sally jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon

come out of the operating room. She said: "How is my

little boy? Is he going to be all right? When can I

see him?"

The surgeon said, "I'm sorry. We did all we

could, but your boy didn't make it."

Sally said, "Why do little children get cancer?

Doesn't God care any more? Where were you, God, when

my son needed you?"

The surgeon asked, "Would you like some time

alone with your son? One of the nurses will be out

in a few minutes, before he's transported to the

university."

Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she

said good-bye to son. She ran her fingers lovingly

through his thick red curly hair.

"Would you like a lock of his hair?" the nurse

asked.

Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the

boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to

Sally. The mother said, "It was Jimmy's idea to

donate his body to the university for study. He said

it might help somebody else. "I said no at first,

but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after I

die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend

one more day with his Mom." She went on, "My Jimmy

had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone

else. Always wanting to help others if he could."

Sally walked out of Children's mercy Hospital

for the last time, after spending most of the last

six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy's

belongings on the seat beside her in the car. The

drive home was difficult. It was even harder to

enter the empty house. She carried Jimmy's

belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his

hair to her son's room. She started placing the

model cars and other personal things back in his

room exactly where he had always kept them. She laid

down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried

herself to sleep.

It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Laying

beside her on the bed was a folded letter. The

letter said:

"Dear Mom, I know you're going to miss me; but

don't think that I will ever forget you, or stop

loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say I LOVE

YOU. I will always love you, Mom, even more with

each day. Someday we will see each other again.

Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you

won't be so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have

my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you

decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't

like the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy

her dolls and stuff girls like, you know. Don't be

sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place.

Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and

showed me around some, but it will take a long time

to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to

watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn't

look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him,

I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD!

And guess what, Mom? I got to sit on God's knee and

talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That's

when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter,

to tell you good-bye and everything. But I already

knew that wasn't allowed. Well, you know what Mom?

God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to

write you this letter. I think Gabriel is the name

of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to

you. God said for me to give you the answer to one

of the questions you asked Him 'Where was He when I

needed him?' "God said He was in the same place with

me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was

right there, as He always is with all His children.

Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what

I've written except you. To everyone else this is

just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool? I have

to give God His pen back now. He needs it to write

some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get

to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm, sure

the food will be great.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt

anymore. The cancer is all gone. I'm glad because I

couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't

stand to see me hurt so much, either. That's when He

sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel

said I was a Special Delivery! How about that?

Signed with Love from: God, Jesus &Me.

Let's see Satan stop this one.

Take 60-seconds and send this to five other

people, within the hour, you will have caused a

multitude of believers to pray to God for each

other. Then sit back and feel the Holy Spirit work

in your life for doing what you know God lo

BE THANKFUL

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you're tired and weary, because it means you've made a difference.

It's easy to be thankful for the good things.

A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.

Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings.

A Dark and Stormy Night

2009-04-18T08:18:00.000-07:00

They were together in the House.

Just the two of them.

It was a cold, dark, stormy night. The storm had come quickly

and

each time the thunder boomed he watched her jump.

She looked across the room and admired his strong appearance...and

wished that he would take her in his arms, comfort her and protect her

from the storm.

She wanted that...more than anything.

Suddenly, with a pop, the power went out... She screamed...

He raced to the sofa where she was cowering.

He didn't hesitate to pull her into his arms.

He knew this was a forbidden union and

expected her to pull back.

He was surprised when she didn't resist but instead clung to him.

The storm raged on...as did their growing passion And

there came a moment when each knew that they had to be together.

They knew it was wrong...

Their families would never understand... So consumed were

they in their passion that they heard no opening

of doors...just the faint click of a camera......

Jack and Diane - A Love Story

2009-02-11T08:12:00.000-08:00

They'd known each other since their school days and had since become the

best of friends. They shared everything and anything and spent lots of time

together in and after school. But the friendship never developed into

anything deeper.

Diane kept a secret: her admiration and love for Jack. She had her reasons

for keeping it a secret. FEAR. Fear of rejection... fear that he might not

feel the same... fear that he might not want to be her best friend

anymore... fear of losing someone that she could always find comfort in. At

least if she kept her feelings to herself she would still be able to spend

time with him... and hopefully, he would be the one to tell her how he

felt towards her.

Time passed, and soon school was over.

Jack and Diane went separate ways. Jack continued his studies overseas,

while Diane got herself a job. They still kept in touch though... penned

letters, sent each other photographs, and mailed each other gifts. Diane

longed for Jack to be back.

She decided that she would tell him her feelings once he got back.

And then out of the blue... the mails from Jack stopped coming. Diane wrote

to him, but there was never a reply. Where was he? What happened? Lots of

questions ran through her mind...

Two years passed and Diane was still hopeful that Jack would come back... or

at least send her a note. And then her prayers were answered. One mid-August

day, she received a note from Jack. It said:

Diane, I have a surprise for you. I'm flying over. Meet me at the airport.

My flight comes in at 4pm on Saturday. I can't wait to see you again!

There's something I need to tell you, something I've been keeping inside all

this time.

Love & Kisses,

Jack

Diane's fingers shook as she read the note. Her heart soared. Diane was

thrilled. Love and kisses... it meant a lot for a lady who had waited so

long for those words. She was ecstatic!

The day arrived, and Diane waited anxiously for Jack. She had slipped into

her best dress, and did her best to look as pretty as she could.

She looked around... but Jack was nowhere in sight. She waited and waited,

wondering what she would say to Jack when he got there, what their meeting

would be like. Would there be love in his eyes? Would there be longing, bred

from years of separation and hiding each others' feelings?

Oh, how she longed to see him! How she longed to throw her arms around him

and tell him she was a fool to ever let him go without ever telling him how

she felt! And she was certain Jack felt it too. There was always a certain

magic about them when they were together.

Then a lady in a sexy, tight, blue dress approached her. She had a very

concerned look on her face, "Hi! I'm Lynn, a friend of Jack. Are you Diane?"

she asked. Diane just nodded her head.

"I'm afraid I... I have bad news for you. Jack is not coming... he won't be

coming back anymore," said the lady, placing a hand on Diane's shoulder.

Diane shook her head in confusion. She felt her heart constrict.

What could possibly have happened? Diane felt an overwhelming fear inside

her. Her hands turned cold. Her voice shook as she asked:

"Where... where's Jack? What happened to him? Please tell me..."

Diane begged the lady...

The lady looked intently at Diane... and then she gave Diane a nudge on the

shoulder and said...

"HOY GAGA! IT'S ME, JACK... JACKILYN!! Don't you remember me?! Im so beautiful now, huh?! It's me, sister!

KAKALOKA KAH HUH!! TEKA, SANDALI... MEET MY 'PAPA'!!"

The Teacher

2008-11-11T08:35:00.000-08:00

A first-grade teacher was having trouble with one of her students. The

teacher asked, "Harry, what is your problem?"

Harry answered, "I'm too smart for the first-grade. My sister is in the

third-grade and I am smarter than she is! I think I should be in the

third-grade too!"

The teacher had enough. She took Harry to the principal's office. While

Harry waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal

what the situation was. The principal told the teacher he would give the

boy a test and if he failed to answer any of his questions he was to go

back to the first-grade and behave. The teacher agreed. Harry was brought

in and the conditions were explained to him and he agreed to take the test.

Principal: "What is 3 x 3?"

Harry: "9"

Principal: "What is 6 x 6?"

Harry: "36"

And so it went with every question the principal thought a third-grade

should know. The principal looks at the teacher and tells her, "I think

Harry can go to the third-grade." The teacher says to the principal, "Let

me ask him some questions?" The principal and Harry both agree.

Teacher: "What does a cow have four of that I have only two of?

Harry: "Legs"

Teacher: "What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?"

(The principal wondered, why does she ask such a question!)

Harry: "Pockets"

Teacher: "What does a dog do that a man steps into?"

Harry: "Pants"

Teacher: "What's starts with a C and ends with a T, is hairy,

oval,delicious and contains thin whitish liquid?" (The principal's eyes

open really wide and before he could stop the answer...)

Harry: "Coconut"

Teacher: "What goes in hard and pink then comes out soft and sticky?"

Harry: "Bubblegum"

Teacher: "What does a man do standing up, a woman do sitting down and a dog

do on three legs?" (The principal's eyes open really wide and before he

could stop the answer...)

Harry: "Shake hands"

Teacher: "Now I will ask some 'Who am I' sort of questions, okay?"

Harry: "Yup"

Teacher: "You stick your poles inside me. You tie me down to get me up. I

Teaspoon,Teacup... or Bucket?

2008-07-11T08:37:00.000-07:00

How people tend to be constrained with the options offered…it pays to think outside of given options

Teaspoon,Teacup... or Bucket???

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor

asked the Director which is the criteria that

defines a patient to be institutionalized.

"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bath-tub,

we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the

patient and ask the patient to empty the bathtub."

Okay, here's your test:

(Those with an abnormal tendency will scroll to the bottom

to get the answer before even taking this test!)

1. Would you use the spoon?

2. Would you use the teacup?

3. Would you use the bucket?

"Oh, I understand said the visitor.

A normal person would choose the bucket as

it is larger than the spoon or the cup"

Scroll down...

"Nooooo," answered the Director.

A normal person would...pull the plug!"

You are not required to tell anyone how you did on this test.

Please don't share your answer... but, now you know

Does Love need a Reason...??

2008-06-16T23:25:00.001-07:00

Some people never understand

Once a lady when having a conversation with her lover, asked:

Lady :

Why do you like me..? Why do you love me?

Man :

I can t tell the reason.. but I really like you..

Lady :

You can t even tell me the reason... how can you say you like

me? How can you say you love me?

Man :

I really don t know the reason, but I can prove that I love U.

Lady :

Proof? No! I want you to tell me the reason. My friend s boyfriend can tell her why he loves her but not you!

Man :

Ok..ok!!! Erm... because you are beautiful,

because your voice is sweet,

because you are caring,

because you are loving,

because you are thoughtful,

because of your smile,

because of your every movements.

The lady felt very satisfied with the man s answer.

Unfortunately, a few days later, the Lady met with an accident and went in comma.

The Guy then placed a letter by her side,

here is the content:
Darling,Because of your sweet voice that I love you...Now can you talk? No! Therefore I cannot love you.

Because of your care and concern that I like you..Now that you cannot show them, therefore I cannot love you.

Because of your smile,because of your every movements that I love you..

Now can you smile? Now can you move?No, therefore I cannot love you...

If love needs a reason, like now,There is no reason for me to love you anymore.

Does love need a reason?

NO!Therefore,
I still LOVE YOU...

"True love never dies for it is lust that fades away. Love bonds for a lifetime but lust just pushes away"

Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says 'I need you because I love you.'

Caution: A/C and Your Health

2008-05-11T21:57:00.000-07:00

Hello Friends, please note...

Do not turn on A/C immediately as soon as you enter the car!

Please open the windows after you enter your car and do not turn ON the

air-conditioning immediately. According to a research done , the car dashboard ,

sofa , air freshener emits Benzene , a Cancer causing toxin (carcinogen- take note

of the heated plastic smell in your car). In addition to causing cancer , it poisons

your bones , causes anemia , and reduces white blood cells. Prolonged exposure

will cause Leukemia , increasing the risk of cancer may also cause miscarriage.

Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50 mg per sq. ft. A car parked indoors with

the windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene. If parked outdoors

under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F , the Benzene level goes up

to 2000-4000 mg , 40 times the acceptable level... & the people inside the car will

inevitably inhale an excess amount of the toxins.

It is recommended that you open the windows and door to give time for

the interior to air out before you enter. Benzene is a toxin that affects your

kidney and liver , and is very difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.

UPD 2007 Valedictory Speech

UPD 2007 Valedictory Speech

I would like to share with you a beautifully written valedictory speech by a 16-year old "girl" who graduated summa cum laude with a BS Physics degree.

A mere 16-year old, who could just be graduating from high school, but is actually finishing at the top of her entire graduating college class with an GWA of 1.099. Actually, many of us were doubtful if this wisp of a girl, not even 5 feet tall, who smiled at everyone so innocently, could tell us, could inspire her class to go forth and meet life after college. But she was the chosen one to deliver a message to her class. And so, out of respect for her feat, we gave her a standing ovation upon her introduction.

With her first words, "One of the things that strike me as being very "UP Diliman" is the way UPD students can't seem to stay on the pavement...", everyone was silent. It was a silence I have seldom experienced. It was as the amphitheater was empty, and it was only the girl and I in that huge space. But i looked around, and even the audience -- the parents and guests surrounding the graduates -- were silent, intently listening to this small voice, now made louder, not by the amplifier, but by our collective silence.

This is when it would not be exaggerated to say, "You could hear a pin drop" by the quality of silence. But I would say, and those of you who have been to the middle of the UP Ampitheater would know what I mean, you could hear the leaves rustle with the slightest breeze.

It was speech that did not talk about a student's personal experience with Physics, as I had feared. It was a young person telling us how she looked at the world -- her world for 4 years -- and how she is encouraged, inspired and compelled to make a difference in this world. She received a long standing ovation, not out of respect this time, but I guess because of what she made us feel about ourselves, about our country and about our future.

I will be humble enough to say that she inspired me. I am renewed once again in my idealism. I hope it strikes a chord in you, because it has strummed my chords so deeply.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mikaela Irene Fudolig – BS Physics, Class 2007 Valedictorian.

Speech at the Commencement Exercises, UPD

April 22, 2007

One of the things that strike me as being very "UP Diliman" is the way UPD students can't seem to stay on the pavement. From every street corner that bounds an unpaved piece of land, one will espy a narrow trail that cuts the corner, or leads from it. Every lawn around the buildings sports at least one of these paths, starting from a point nearest to the IKOT stop and ending at the nearest entry to the building. The trails are beaten on the grass by many pairs of feet wanting to save a fraction of a meter of traveling, no matter that doing so will exact some cost to the shoes, or, to the ubiquitous slippers, especially when the trails are new.

What do these paths say about us, UP students?

One could say that the UP student is enamored with Mathematics and Pythagoras, hence these triangles formed by the pavement and the path. Many among you would disagree.

Others could say that the UP student is naturally countercultural. And the refusal to use the pavement is just one of the myriads of ways to show his defiance of the order of things. This time, many would agree.

Still, others will say that the UP student is the model of today's youth: they want everything easier, faster, now. The walkable paths appeal to them because they get to their destination faster, and presumably, with less effort. Now that is only partly true, and totally unfair.

These trails weren't always walkable. No doubt they started as patches of grass, perhaps overgrown. Those who first walked them must have soiled their shoes, stubbed their toes, or had insects biting their legs, all in the immovable belief that the nearest distance between two points is a straight line. They might even have seen snakes cross their paths. But the soiled footwear, sore toes, and itchy legs started to conquer the grass. Other people, seeing the yet faint trail, followed. And as more and more walked the path, the grass gave in and stopped growing altogether, making the path more and more visible, more and more walkable.

The persistence of the paths pays tribute to those UP students who walked them first – the pioneers of the unbeaten tracks: the defiant and curious few who refuse the familiar and comfortable; the out-of-the-box thinkers who solve problems instead of fretting about them; the brave who dare do things differently, and open new opportunities to those who follow.

They say how one behaved in the past would determine how he behaves in the future. And as we leave the University, temporarily or for good, let us call on the pioneering, defiant, and brave spirit that built the paths to guide us in this next phase of our life.

We have been warned time and again. Our new world that they call "adulthood" is one that's full of compromises, where success is determined more by the ability to belong than by the ability to think, where it is much easier to do as everyone else does. Daily we are bombarded with so much news of despair about the state of our nation, and the apparent, perverse sense of satisfaction our politicians get from vilifying our state of affairs. It is fashionable to migrate to other countries to work in deceptively high-paying jobs like nursing and teaching, forgetting that even at their favored work destinations, nurses and teachers are some of the lowest paid professionals. The lure of high and immediate monetary benefits in some low-end outsourcing jobs has drawn even some of the brightest UP students away from both industry and university teaching to which they would have been better suited.

Like the sidewalks and pavement, these paths are the easiest to take.

But, like the sidewalks and pavement, these paths take longer to traverse, just as individual successes do not always make for national progress. The unceasing critic could get elected, but not get the job done. The immigrant could get his visa, but disappear from our brainpower pool. The highly paid employee would be underutilized for his skills, and pine to get the job he truly wants, but is now out of his reach. And the country, and we, are poorer because of these.

Today, the nation needs brave, defiant pioneers to reverse our nation's slide to despair. Today, we must call upon the spirit that beat the tracks. Today, we must present an alternative way of doing things.

Do NOT just take courage, for courage is not enough. Instead, be BRAVE! It will take bravery to go against popular wisdom, against the clichéd expectations of family and friends. It will take bravery to gamble your future by staying in the country and try to make a prosperous life here. It might help if for a start, we try to see why our Korean friends are flocking to our country. Why, as many of us line up for immigrant visas in various embassies, they get themselves naturalized and settle here. Do they know something we don't?

Do NOT just be strong in your convictions, for strength is not enough. Instead, DEFY the pressure to lead a comfortable, but middling life. Let us lead this country from the despair of mediocrity. Let us not seek to do well, but strive to EXCEL in everything that we do. This, so others will see us as a nation of brains of the highest quality, not just of brawn that could be had for cheap.

Take NOT the road less traveled. Rather, MAKE new roads, BLAZE new trails, FIND new routes to your dreams. Unlike the track-beaters in campus who see where they're going, we may not know how far we can go. But if we are brave, defiant searchers of excellence, we will go far. Explore possibilities, that others may get a similar chance. I have tried it myself. And I'm speaking to you now.

But talk is cheap, they say. And so I put my money where my mouth is. Today, I place myself in the service of the University, if it will have me. I would like to teach, to share knowledge, and perhaps to be an example to new UP students in thinking and striving beyond the limits of the possible. This may only be a small disturbance in the grass. But I hope you'll come with me, and trample a new path.

Good evening, everyone.`

Life is what we make it

2008-02-15T00:40:00.000-08:00

How do we define happiness? Is it when someone starts smiling? beaming? laughing? Or the inner feeling of contentment and satisfaction? Someone had told me that happiness is an outward appearance and the inner one is called 'joy'. I have very little time to make sure which is which, besides I get headaches when I keep on thinking; which is why, I will plainly believe and picture happiness as this picture. One, Cedie, smiling and the other one, Uday, is laughing. But being there, I know that they are happy. And it shows not only in their faces but in their sparkling eyes.

You see, I don't believe that a person can say that he/she is happy but cannot bring him/herself to smile or laugh. Although, there are really some that can laugh and say they are happy but they are actually not. The magic is in the eyes of a person. We surely can smile even if in times of weakness and troubles, but that smile will not reach the eyes. Picture this: a still face with parted lips, that is all there is.

So next time your seatmate, friend, sibling, parent, nephew, niece, and just anybody else smile at you, look deep into the eyes and see if that smile reaches the eyes to know its sincere. If it is, that means that that person is happy to see you and be with you. If not, either there is something wrong with that person or you are that 'something wrong' in that person....
