The Reunion

I have changed my mind. I will not attend the reunion. Many reasons are at stake. I wanted to see my classmates after many years now that we're of age but it's unfortunate that I can't go at this time. Some other time maybe. The clock is ticking still I will find the right time. There is a time for everything.

I know they will greatly enjoy that rare moment of being together again even for a brief moment.

May YHWH bless them.

PICTURES OF OPON

Opon is the old name of Lapu-Lapu City before it became a city. I am proud to be called an Oponganon. I love this place with it's simple beauty. It was invaded in the year 1521 more or less by Magellan but failed to capture it at the first try because of the strong resistance of Datu Lapu-Lapu. His heroism had earned him the city which is named after him. Here are some pictures to view the beauty of this rustic place. It is rightly called Pearl of the Orient as it is located in the heart of the Philippine Archipelago.

RAINY DAY

I woke up early and prepared for work. I waited for the rain to stop so I can go but it never stopped. So I am still stuck here in front of my laptop at home still wearing my uniform. I was supposed to be at the office at 8 am but it's already 12:39 pm. The rain that was only light earlier became a full pledged rainfall. So I remain surfing the net at these wee hours of noon.

I heard on the news that we are under storm signal number one. But on the net it is only a low pressure that's why it's been raining for days in a row. Storm or no storm, it is an ugly day for me because it made me absent from work, the pathway is becoming soft and full of mud, there's water everywhere plus the mud and water is invading my little dwelling place.

I don't know what my co-workers say that I am absent from work. The bad part is that my umbrella was lost that's why I wasn't able to walk from here to get a ride at the road.

TRIBUTE TO CORY AQUINO

The death of the most beloved and respected of all presidents of the Philippines, Corazon Aquino has deeply saddened the Filipino people. She was a great loss for us.

Her presidency was a series of example of sincere dedication, unpretentious and self-sacrificing hard work. She was one of a kind. Once she has tasted power and influence and yet it never tainted her motivation in serving the people. She never entertained thoughts remaining in power.She is admirable in a sense that she never used her position to shamefacedly make members of her family become government officials for it would tantamount to a sort of nepotism. She invested no self-interests that would be self-profiting while in power. She is the only president I know who never had dubious transactions aimed at gaining wealth personal wealth. She and the people working with her, worked in unison to restore the lost democracy under Marcos regime. They never attempted to plunder our country and to corrupt the position they hold in an effort to show real service.

Yes, her life was a life of dedication to true service. She is the epitome of purity, dedication and integrity. No one can ever point a finger at her, for if they would, they would only be putting in light their own hidden evil motives.

We the people of the Philippines, may never witness another human being, another leader as pure as she is. We all are grief-stricken. We cry our hearts out. For we not only lost a president but democracy as well.

I take-off my hat to her in honor. I lament her departure. Who is like unto her? The hearts of all Filipino people go out to her and to her family.

ACCIDENTS HAPPEN

Accidents happen. My co-worker recently had an accident with his motorcycle. I automatically said "That is what will happen when driving drunk".

But I learned later that he was not drunk but overloaded. He had three back riders and the last of which was a very huge man and was unhurt. He reported for work the next day with scarcely a bruise. Unfortunately for the owner of the motorcycle, his bruises were far serious. His face swelled horribly. He sustained other bruises on other parts of his body. And what's worst he has difficulty breathing.

A pity for him. This is our lesson: don't let yourself be goaded into your own accident by sweet talking passenger. Let not anyone manipulate you in giving anyone a ride when the capacity doesn't. And of course, don't drive drunk. Be careful on the road. Obey traffic signal. Follow all this and you will drive on to your ripe old age.

MY COMPAQ ARMADA M700

I bought a COMPAQ ARMADA M700 laptop from a Korean. Although it is already obsolete. I opted to buy it since it's very afford. I like its Compaqness as the name suggests. I like its look, very simple yet durable. When I started using it, I found that it is efficient albeit slower than the latest models of course. I just learned that it is HP brand which I already admire previously.

That's why for me HP is a symbol of durability. It is the kind we use at the office which until now still performing efficiently for many years. See? We still haven't bought new ones. It is still performing healthily that's why. So when I next decide to buy the new model, I would buy the HP brand because it is tried and tested at home and at work.

THE 'MAN FROM APE' THEORY

I have always wondered about the theory that man originally came from an ape. I don't really vehemently disagree but as I see today, there are still a lot of apes walking around who had remained in their original ape appearance. I don't see an inch of evidence of evolution working in them. They are still as apes as they were before. If evolution really is working till now we would have already been seeing half-ape creatures walking around who would be partly intelligent too, I surmise.

This is thought provoking. That's why it just makes the evolution theory weaker and weaker than ever before. And there is one other thing, if we really had evolved from the ape then maybe there would not have been remained an ape today because they would all have been already become humans if I am not mistaken.

Well, that is only my opinion. I guess we are all entitled to our opinion, right? I apologize if I have just been ignorantly declaring blah-blah-blah in effect. I am just musing having nothing more interesting thing to note.
