 | Sunday, September 13, 2009 Finally the result of my FLEX Seminar
I love you Readers!
I'm Renewed : I am a loving person, I am trustworthy, I am Responsible and I am the best creation of GOD!
It's amazing how FLEX changed my life after realizing many things. It's now becoming more positive in my life that really made me whole. I realized that I am important and no one else can break that belief. As a "seller" that matches my description and an auditory kind of person when it comes to delivering a language I now positively can survive to the game of life.
I remember one time when I was being "harassed" by strangers, took all my money and belongings and tried to hurt me in the middle of the night when I was walking back home. It was such a very hard experience for me to forget. But you know what? After my FLEX seminar I found out that there was a positive side of that incident and that is my being alive and continue living with my journey.
I belong to the 34th Foundation of Leadership Excellence (FLEX) at OCCI here in Baguio City and I can say that this is the most important seminar I've ever attended. With the love of the Lord I can now perform my life positively and lovingly.
I am inviting you to Join FLEX here in Baguio City or even in your area and I'll assure you the "Big Change" that will happen to your life for the benefit of your leadership to yourself and your fellowmen.
MABUHAY OCCI BAGUIO CITY FLEX 34!

INTERNET JOKES!
The top ten reasons why the television is better than the World Wide Web
10. It doesn't take minutes to build the picture when you change TV channels. 9. When was the last time you tuned in to "Melrose Place" and got a "Error 404" message? 8. There are fewer grating color schemes on TV--even on MTV. 7. The family never argues over which Web site to visit this evening. 6. A remote control has fewer buttons than a keyboard. 5. Even the worst TV shows never excuse themselves with an "Under Construction" sign. 4. Seinfeld never slows down when a lot of people tune in. 3. You just can't find those cool Health Rider infomercials on the Web. 2. Set-top boxes don't beep and whine when you hook up to HBO. 1. You can't surf the Web from a couch with a beer in one hand and Doritos in the other.
AOL addiction poem
My computer broke down. It crashed and burned! And for my AOL, I really yearned! I tried to stay busy... And keep it off my mind. It was worse than cigarettes, at least butts I can find!! So I went to Wal-Mart, and got on their pc. The cashier in electronics was staring at me. But I didn't care. I had to get on line! Check my mail, and see what buddies I can find. I drew a crowd as I began to cry. I couldn't find the password no matter how hard I tried! I need my AOL!! I got to have my fix!! Go to my favorite places, check out some cool pics. The cashier called Security! I heard her whisper low, "We have ourselves a Psycho here and she has got to go!" Security rushed over. Not long did he stall. Obviously he has never suffered from AOL withdrawal. He slapped cuffs on my wrists and threw me out the door! Then he looked at me and said, "Don't come round here no more!" I feel so embarrassed!! I have sunk so low! To be kicked out of Wal-Mart.... How low can I go? So I'll try really hard now to rid myself of this affliction. Get rid of these bad habits and my AOL addiction!
Surfing the Internet
Surfin' the Net
So I think I'm in the clear
the boss is no where in sight
I logon to the web and start to surf
and then my hair stands up with fright the footsteps coming down the hall
are quickening in pace
there is no time to exit
no way to save my face so I press the power button
and relax just a bit
there is no way he can tell
exactly what I hit I act all surprised
don't know why my machine died
"simply unpredictable these
computers are!" I cried "So we'll get you a new one
a computer that won't crash" he exclaims
Do you think he'll wonder
when the new one acts the same?
Oh the Internet is slow
The Net is Slow Oh, the network outside is frightful,
But on campus, it's so delightful,
Our packets have nowhere to go,
Net is slow, net is slow, net is slow. It doesn't show signs of stopping,
All our packets, our hosts are dropping;
Bandwidth is turned way down low,
Net is slow, net is slow, net is slow. When we finally connect to a site,
It's time to go back to the dorm;
But if I could stay here all night,
I could submit their Web form. The network is slowly dying,
And, I fear, we're still denying,
But as long as Sprint is the way to go,
Net is slow, net is slow, net is slow.

When I started working at MEGALOPOLIS my workmates invited me to attend the seminar that they called FLEX or Foundation for Leadership Excellence. All of them has their own testimony how FLEX changed their lives especially to their attitudes. They told me about the big "CHANGE" that until now still a question to me. Last night I attended the FLEX Coffee together with the staff. They confirmed me about the date of the seminar wherein I am one of the new enrollees. FLEX sounds interesting to me, They said that this Seminar for Foundations for Leadership Excellence provides frontline managers with the skills needed to excel in today's complex and changing health care environment. This proven program offers education through immersion and camaraderie and is an invaluable source for developing long-lasting, effective leadership skills. Being responsible and open-minded person are the best results of this Seminar. Hopefully this would be a great conference wherein I will have the energy and new tools for my everyday work and will feel renewed and empowered to lead my real estate marketing carreer. I will surely find the answers to my questions this comming Saturday and Sunday...
Posted at Wednesday, September 09, 2009 by nickjhaey Permalink Subscribe co.mments Tuesday, September 01, 2009 Paalam Kapatid na Eranio Manalo
Early morning as I was seeking for something through the internet, I read a news regarding about the death of one of the famous religious leader-Eraño G. Manalo of Church of Christ. Since most of my workmates at MEGALOPOLIS PROPERTIES INCORPORATED are devoted to their religion "Iglesia ni Kristo" I also felt loneliness for them. In behalf of my friend George Cabe, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude and sympathy to the family and breathren of Kapatid na Eraño Manalo.
Here is the copy of the news from Yahoo News: MANILA, Philippines – Erano Manalo, leader of the Philippines' largest indigenous religious sect, has died, his spokesman said Tuesday. He was 84. Manalo took over Iglesia ni Cristo, or Church of Christ, after the death of his father and the church's founder, Felix Manalo, in 1963. The church is believed to have millions of members but does not disclose the figure. Manalo died of a heart attack in his Manila home on Monday, the church's spokesman Bienvenido Santiago said. The church was founded in 1914 when Felix Manalo resigned as minister of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church after questioning the observance of Sabbath on Saturdays. He experienced what he claimed to be a call similar to those of ancient prophets. Iglesia ni Cristo rejects the Christian doctrine of trinity and believes Christ is one of several prophets. It is considered the largest indigenous church that originated from the Philippines and the largest independent church in Asia.
From Yahoo News: http://asia.news.yahoo.com/ap/20090901/tap-as-obit-manalo-510daa6.html Let us know all about Eraño Manalo from WIKIPEDIA:
Biography
Eraño Manalo was the fifth child of Felix Y. Manalo and Honorata de Guzman. His name came from a reversal and elision of the term "New Era," which his father used to describe what he felt was "a new Christian era" as the Iglesia ni Cristo was established.
Manalo initially took up law school, but left his studies to become a minister of the INC. He started attending the church's ministerial classes at the age of 16 and was ordained as a minister by the age of 22. He held various positions in the church including being the general treasurer of the INC and circulation manager of the Pasugo magazine (now known as God's Message). During this time, he wrote a 64-page booklet entitled Christ-God: Investigated-False.
On January 17, 1955, Eraño Manalo married Cristina Villanueva with whom he has six children. In 1953, ten years before his father's death, Eraño Manalo was elected successor to his father as Executive Minister. As of 2005[update] his son Eduardo is INC's Deputy Executive Minister.
Administration
With the passing of Felix Manalo, critics of the church predicted the decline and eventual fall of the Iglesia. To them, the church's popularity was due mainly to the charisma and leadership of Felix Manalo. Barely a month after assuming his role as spiritual leader of the church, the young Manalo began visiting congregations nationwide. At every location he visited, he officiated worship services and staged massive religious rallies in public plazas. During this period of transition in what critics thought was the most vulnerable period of the church, Manalo further consolidated the gains of the church.
In 1947, Manalo became the General Treasurer of the church. He was later elected as successor to Felix Manalo by provincial ministers as early as 1953. In 1957 he became the District Minister of Manila. Very few people outside of the church gave Manalo's leadership potential enough credit. He would later initiate significant moves that would make the church to what it is today.
Manalo demonstrated the church responsiveness to the needs of the poor. Even before the government initiated agrarian reforms, Manalo established model land reforms. In 1965, the first of the resettlement farms was Maligaya farm in Palayan City, Nueva Ecija, Philippines. Similar projects were established in Cavite, Rizal and other provinces.
As early as 1967, four years after assuming leadership role, Manalo set his vision to overseas mission and global expansion. On July 27, 1968 Manalo established the first congregation of the church overseas in Honolulu, Hawaii. Other congregations where established in San Francisco and Los Angeles in California.
In 1968, Manalo moved the headquarters of the church to Diliman, Quezon City and began building major structures in what is now known as the Central Office Complex. The administration of the church is housed at the six-story Central Office building where Manalo has a permanent office. In this building are the offices of departments, social halls and is where thousand of professionals and volunteers work. Also in the complex is the Central Temple which is the largest of the church's house of worship. Nearby is the tent-shaped Tabernacle, which serves as a multi-purpose hall.
Death
In an announcement on dzBB radio, INC spokesperson Bienvenido Santiago confirmed Manalo's death:
"Ikinalulungkot naming ipabatid sa buong Iglesia at sa buong sambayanan na ang tagapamahalang pangkalahatan ng Iglesia ni Cristo, ang kapatid na Eraño G. Manalo ay pinagpahinga na ng Diyos. Pumanaw siya sa kanyang tahanan sa ganap na 3:53 kahapon Agosto 31, 2009, sa gulang na 84 na taon," Santiago said.
Translated to English:
"We are sad to announce to the Iglesia and to the whole nation that the Executive Minister of Iglesia ni Cristo, our brother Eraño G. Manalo, has been laid to rest by God. He passed away at his home 3:53 p.m. on August 31, 2009. He was 84 years old"
Santiago said that according to Dr. Ray Melchor Santos, Manalo died due to cardiopulmonary arrest

- Hiccups happen when the diaphragm, the muscle
that controls our breathing, becomes irritated and start to spasm and
contract uncontrollably. With each contraction, air is pulled into the
lungs very quickly, passes through the voice box, and then the epiglottis
closes behind the rush of air, shaking the vocal chords, causing the "hic"
sound. The irritation can be caused by rapid eating, emotional stress
and even some diseases. The best cure? Breathing into a paper bag. This
calms the diaphragm by increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in your

Now the serpent was more subtil
than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said
unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of
the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the
fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which
[is] in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it,
neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the
woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye
eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods,
knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good
for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be
desired to make [one] wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat,
and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes
of them both were opened, and they knew that they [were] naked; and
they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. And they
heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of
the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the
Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. And the Lord God called unto
Adam, and said unto him, Where [art] thou? And he said, I heard thy
voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I [was] naked; and I hid
myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou [wast] naked? Hast thou
eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not
eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest [to be] with me, she
gave me of the tree, and I did eat. And the Lord God said unto the
woman, What [is] this [that] thou hast done? And the woman said, The
serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

Then the chief of the fathers

Madalas nating sabihin nasaan ang demokrasya at madalas din nating isiping " alam ni Tita Cory yan". Sa mga panahong inilagi ni Tita Cory sa ating bansa walang ibang inisip ang ating mahal na pangulo kundi ang pangalagaan ang ating demokrasya na syang umukit sa kasaysayan ng ating bansa.
Hindi man natin personal na kilala si Tita Cory ay masasabi nating naging makabuluhan ang pagiging Filipino niya sa atin.
Ating killanin si Ginang Cory Aquino sa pamamagitan ng WIKI FILIPINO:
Si María Corazón Cojuangco-Aquino na lalong mas kilala sa palayaw na Cory ang ikalabing-isang Pangulo ng Pilipinas ng Republika ng Pilipinas at kauna-unahang naging babaeng pangulo ng Pilipinas (Pebrero 25, 1986–Hunyo 30, 1992). Ipinanganak siya noong Enero 25, 1933 sa Tarlac ng kanyang mga magulang na sina Jose Cojuangco Sr. at Demetria Sumulong. Kilalang may kaya ang kanilang angkan na nagmamay-ari ng malawak na lupain sa Tarlac.
Nagtapos siya sa isang paaralang Katoliko na para lamang sa mga kababaihan bago pinalad na makapag-aral sa Estados Unidos at nakapagtapos nang may digri sa Wikang Pranses at Matematika sa New York's Mount Saint Vincent College. Nagbalik siya ng Pilipinas noong 1953 upang kumuha ng kursong abugasya. Doon niya nakilala ang kabiyak na si Benigno Aquino, Jr. ("Ninoy"), ang pinaslang na lider ng oposisyon noong panahon ni dating Pangulong Ferdinand E. Marcos.
Nailuklok siya sa pamamagitan ng isang mapayapang rebolusyon (Unang Rebolusyon sa EDSA) noong Pebrero 25, 1986 at ibinalik niya ang demokrasya sa bansa. Siya ay kilala rin bilang ina ng artistang si Kris Aquino.
Si Cory Bilang Asawa ni Benigno Aquino, Jr.
Kilalang angkan ang Aquino sa politika. Nahalal bilang mayor si Benigno Aquino, Jr. o kilala sa tawag na Ninoy isang taon matapos ang kanilang pag-iisang dibdib. Naging pinakabata rin itong gobernador hanggang sa maging senador.
Naging pangunahing kritiko ng dating Pangulong Ferdinand E. Marcos ang kanyang asawa at isa sa mga nakulong matapos maideklara ang Martial Law noong Setyembre 21, 1972. Dahil sa ilang taong pagkakakulong ng kanyang asawa ay siya ang naging tagapagsalita at katuwang nito sa pakikipag-usap sa mga aktibista at mamamahayag. Pansamantala silang nanirahan sa Boston matapos na palayain ang kanyang asawa upang sumailalim sa operasyon sa puso.
Taong 1983 ng buwan ng Agosto ng mapagpasiyahang bumalik sa Pilipinas ng kanyang asawang si Benigno Aquino, Jr. upang tulungan ang mga taong hindi sang-ayon sa pamumuno ng dating Pangulong Ferdinand E. Marcos. Sa kasamaang-palad ay ipinapatay siya matapos makalapag sa paliparan ang eroplanong kanyang sinasakyan.
Si Cory Bilang Unang Babaeng Pangulo ng Pilipinas
Taong 1985 ng mapili siya ng National Press Club ng Maynila upang tumakbo bilang Pangulo ng Pilipinas. Nangako siyang tatakbo sakaling makakalap ang grupo ng isang milyong lagda ng mga taong nagnanais na maging Pangulo siya. Matagumpay namang nakalap ang higit sa isang milyong lagda kung kaya't sinuportahan din siya ng anim pang partido. Napagpasiyahan niyang tumakbo hindi upang maghiganti kundi upang magkamit ng katarungan. May kalakihan ang tsansa niyang mahalal sapagkat bukod sa bago lamang siya sa pulitika ay katulad niya ang mga paniniwala at adhikain ng nasirang asawa.
Sa kasamaang palad ay hindi na natuklasan pa ang kinahinatnan ng eleksyong Pampanguluhan. Matapos ang isang mapayapang rebolusyon (Unang Rebolusyon sa EDSA) noong Pebrero 25, 1986, at mapatalsik sa posisyon ang dating Pangulong Ferdinand E. Marcos ay nailagak siyang Pangulo ng Pilipinas ng Pilipinas.
Halos pitong pag-aaklas ang naganap upang siya'y mapatalsik ang dinanas ng kanyang liderato. Ang ilan pa sa mga ito'y pinamunuan ng mga taong nagluklok sa kanya sa pwesto. Taong 1991 nang maglabas ng kasulatang nagpapahintulot sa kanyang manatili sa pwesto hanggang Hunyo 30, 1992. Pinalitan siya ni Fidel V. Ramos bilang Pangulo noong matapos ang kanyang termino.
Si Cory at ang CARP
Dalawang taon matapos siyang maluklok bilang Pangulo ng Pilipinas ng Pilipinas, ipinatupad niya ang Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Act o CARP sa ilalim ng Republic Act No. 6657. Ilang kontrobersiya ang kinasangkutan nito lalo pa't kilalang haciendero ng ekta-ektaryang lupain ang kanyang pamilya. Sa ilalim ng programang ito ay mabibigyan ng lupa ang humigit kumulang sa 8.5 milyong magsasaka at manggagawa ng lupa sa loob ng sampung taon upang kumawala sila sa kahirapan at pagiging alipin.
Sa kasamaang palad, ang naipangakong 24 na milyong ektaryang lupa na ipamamahagi sana ay naging 4.7 milyon na lamang. Hindi na natuloy ang maayos na pamamahagi ng lupa dahil na rin sa kakulangan sa pondo at iba pang kadahilanan. Ang ilan namang pinalad na makatanggap ng lupa ay napilitang ibenta itong muli sa iba. 3 sa 5 katao na nagkamit ng lupa ang nagbentang muli nito dahil na rin sa wala silang sapat na pondo upang mapanatili ang kanilang lupain na sana'y planong gawing lupang pang-agrikultura.
Pagkakasakit
Marso 24, 2008 unang natuklasan ang pagkakaroon ng colon cancer ang dating pangulong Corazon Aquino. Humingi ng dasal at suporta para sa kanyang maysakit na ina si Kris Aquino, ang artista at TV host na bunso niyang anak.
Nagsimula ang karamdaman ng dating pangulo sa paulit-ulit na pagtaas ng blood pressure nito, paglalagnat at hirap sa paghinga. Hindi nagtagal ay naiulat ang kawalang-gana nito sa pagkain, hindi gumagaling na pag-ubo at ang kapansin-pansing pagbaba ng timbang na naging sanhi ng kanyang pagkapayat. Ito ang nagbunsod sa magkakapatid na Aquino na ipailalim sa malawakang pagsusuri ang kalusugan ng kanilang ina at dito natuklasan ang pagkakaroon niya ng cancer cancer sa colon.
Nakiusap ang pamilya na irespeto ang pribadong buhay ng kanilang ina at samahan sila sa pagdarasal upang gumaling ang karamdaman nito. Umabot sa mahigit na 14 na buwan ang pakikipaglaban ng pangulo sa sakit na cancer kaalinsunod ang pagpapasailalim sa Chemotherapy sessions.
Laparoscopic Colon Surgery
Sumailalim sa laparoscopic surgery ang dating Pangulong Corazon Aquino noong Mayo 4, 2009 sa Makati Medical City. Ang laparoscopic surgery ay isang uri ng pagtitistis na isinasagawa upang tanggalin ang mga cancer cells sa colon sa pamamagitan ng paggawa ng malilit na paghiwa sa sikmura kumpara sa malalaking paghiwa na kinakailangan para sa tradisyunal na operasyon. Ipinapasok ang laparoscope (isang napakaliit na telescope na nakakabit sa video camera) sa isa sa mga butas upang bigyan ng kalayaan ang siruhano na makita ang loob ng tiyan.
Ang mga instrumento ay ipinapasok sa kabilang butas upang tanggalin ang may karamdamang bahagi ng colon. Matapos nito ay muling ilalagay o ikakabit ang malusog na bahagi o parte. Tinatayang umaabot sa dalawa hanggang tatlong oras ang naturang pamamaraan. Matapos ang naganap na sensitibong operasyon ng mga doktor na siyang tumistis sa dating pangulong Corazon Aquino, naiulat kamakailan na matagumpay na naalis ang mga cancer cells sa colon ng una matapos ang isang oras at kalahating operasyon nito sa Makati Medical Center.
Paalam Tita Cory!
Narito ang panalangin ko para sa inyo:
Makapangyarihang Ama pinipuri ka namin at pinapasalamatan sa araw na ito. Akin pong idinudulog sa inyo ang kaluluwa ng pumanaw naming pinuno. Naway tanggapin nyo po sya sa inyong kaharian. Nagpapasalamat po ako sa magandang pangyayari na nilikha ninyo ang isang pinuno na may puso at pang-unawa sa karamihan. Naway tumatak po sa isipan ng karamihan ang kanyang mga magagandang halimbawa na naipakita at naipadama sa sambayanang Filipino. Idinadalangin ko po ang kaligtasan ng kanyang pamilya at mga mahal sa buhay sampu ng mga Filipinong kanyang pinagsilbihan. Maraming salamat po sa lahat ng kabutihan sa amin.
