A Postal Office to remember... :)

There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose job it was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses. One day, a letter came addressed in a shaky handwriting to God with no actual address. He thought he should open it to see what it was about. The letter read:

Dear God,
I am an 83 year old widow, living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had $100 in it, which was all the money I had until my next pension check. Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with. I have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope. Can you please help me?

Sincerely,
Edna

The postal worker was touched. He showed the letter to all the other workers. Each one dug into his or her wallet and came up with a few dollars. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected $96, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman. The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of Edna and the dinner she would be able to share with her friends. Christmas came and went. A few days later, another letter came from the same old lady to God. All the workers gathered around while the letter was opened. It read,

Dear God,
How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me? Because of your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful gift. By the way, there was $4 missing. I think it must have been those bastards at the Post Office

Sincerely,
Edna

LOL!

Email Hoax...(again)!

These emails suck my time almost daily by bombarding my inbox with their different stories. I wonder why these people spend some time making these types of email...are there still people out there who believe this kind of email tactics?

I got several email hoaxes this week, with different stories...like me winning a 1 million sterling pounds??...and now, becoming as one of the nearest kin of certain so and so to get the million dollars..WOW! my goodness gracious.

Why don't you get it yourself, MR. JUN HUAN?? Why bother other people?...strangers at that?

Here's the email:

Good Day To You,

I am Mr. Jun Huan of HSH Nordbank AG,
Hong Kong. I have an obscured
business
suggestion for you. In November, 1999, Ahmad Fahmi an Indonesian, a
contractor
with the Iraqi Government and also a businessman, made a time
investment of
US$24.5M as secured growth funds for (60) sixty calendar months in my
Branch.
This investment has matured and has been lying in our Bank reserve for

the past
two years, and under the
Hong Kong banking laws, any time Investment
unclaimed
after three years will be turned over to the Hong Kong Government
purse.

Upon maturity several notices were sent to him and no response came
from him.
Early This year, it was later discovered that the Ahmad Fahmi and his
family
were killed in a convoy attack in Musol, Iraqi on 22nd Aug, 2004.
After further
investigation it was also discovered that Ahmad Fahmi did not declare
any next
of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his Bank
deposit. And
he also confided in me the last time he was in my Office that no one
except me
knew of his deposit in my Bank.

Against this backdrop. I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the
next of
kin to Ahmad Fahmi so that you will be able to receive this funds. I
have
contacted an Attorney that will prepare the necessary document that
will back
you up as the next of kin to Ahmad Fahmi and also the rightful
beneficial to
the funds. After you have been made the next of kin, the Attorney will
also
fill in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and
letter
of probate in your favour for the transfer of the funds to your
nominated bank
account.

We are going adopt a legalized method and the Attorney will prepare all
the
necessary documents.

Please endeavour to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning
this
issue. What is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me
with
your full names, address, direct telephone and fax numbers to enable my
Attorney commence his job.

Reply strictly if you are interested with the requested information via
my
personal fax line +852 301 530 91 or my email address to enable my
Attorney
commences his job immediately.

Sincerely,
Mr. Jun Huan.

Any more stories of this kind? Am tired of hearing it.

Best Web Hosting

Are you tired of looking the best among the best of web hosting sites? Of course, I suppose most of you would be looking for the best web hosting site and at the same time cheap and affordable equipped with good quality features appropriate for your site. Perhaps, you might want to take a visit to Kaushal Sheth's blog regarding his list of perfect hosting sites he found on the internet. Mind you, searching for the best and ideal web host sites is not as easy as what you think. There are many hundreds out there in the world wide web claiming to be the best and # 1, but it is a big risk to just get one of them without any proper reviews and screening, and without getting any smart opinions from other's experiences. One good thing is that Sheth had gathered some credible supports in ranking this sites which ones are really best of the best.
Although Sheth's blog is more on wordpress theme designing (as well as blogger), it was a good idea from him to include a topic about guide in web hosting which can also help some who need it for their sites. Visit Kaushal Sheth's blog and see it yourself.

Why Is The Philippines Poor?

This is an opinionated article I receive from a friend a day ago which comes from Dr. Arsenio Martin of Fort Arthur, Texas .. Enjoy reading.


THE DIFFERENCE


The difference between the poor countries and the rich ones is not the age of the country:


This can be shown by countries like India & Egypt , that are more than 2000 years old, but are poor.


On the other hand, Canada , Australia & New Zealand , that 150 years ago were inexpressive, today are developed countries, and are rich.


The difference between poor & rich countries does not reside in the available natural resources.

Japan has a limited territory, 80% mountainous, inadequate for agriculture & cattle raising, but it is the second world economy. The country is like an immense floating factory, importing raw materials from the whole world and exporting manufactured products.


Another example is Switzerland , which does not plant cocoa but has the best chocolate in the world. In its little territory they raise animals and plant the soil during 4 months per year. Not enough, they produce dairy products of the best quality! It is a small country that transmits an image of security, order &am! p; labor, which made it the world's strongest, safest place.

Executives from rich countries who communicate with their counterparts in poor countries show that there is no significant intellectual difference.


Race or skin color are also not important: immigrants labeled lazy in their countries of origin are the productive power in rich European countries.


What is the difference then? The difference is the attitude of the people, framed along the years by the education & the culture & flawed tradition.


On analyzing the behavior of the people in rich & developed countries, we find that the great majority follow the following principles in their lives:


1. Ethics, as a basic principle.

2. Integrity.

3. Responsibility.

4. Respect to the laws & rules.

5. Respect to the rights of other citizens.

6. Work loving.

7. Strive for savings & investment.

8. Will of super action.

9. Punctuality.

10. and of course...Discipline


In poor countries, only a minority follow these basic principles in their daily life.


The Philippines is not poor because we lack natural resources or because nature was cruel to us. In fact, we are supposedly rich in natural resources.


We are poor because we lack the correct attitude. We lack the will to comply with and teach these functional principles of rich & developed societies.

I missed Pacquiao's Fight!

I actually had posted this on my other blog about Manny's fight last week. I remember my hubby telling me he heard it on the radio while we were shopping in Hollywood about Pacquiao's fight last weekend but I didn't believe him. I thought he was just making some stories. Anyway, I will be watching the replay at home courtest of our cable subscription. I saw some videos in youtube but I wanna watch it in big screen at home. I know who won, but who cares? Just gonna want to witness those pac-man's punches again :).

5th Annual Dark Sky Festival

There will be a big event about a move to deter light pollution. It's a festival called Dark Sky Festival which is set for April 5, 2008 (Saturday) at Harmony's Town Square in Florida. You might be wondering what this festival is all about. Primarily, its aim and mission is to preserve and protect the nighttime environment and our heritage of dark skies through quality outdoor lighting. The festival is set for kick offs with the start of National Dark Sky Week which is set aside to deter light pollution by encouraging people to do better overall outdoor lighting practices. National Dark Sky Week is more on educating the public about using lighting fixtures that helps in reducing lighting pollution.

Plus other fun activities not only for kids but adults as well such as star viewings via telescopes, a kids' zone, and some speakers that would be talking about Myths in the Night. Dark Sky Festival has created very important role in protecting dark skies from light pollution. The celebration which includes exposing the general public to the marvels of astronomy has always been gaining success and the Harmony town Square where this event is usually held is in an area rated as Class 4 on the bortle scale of light pollution. This is a festival worth recommending to visit because of its goals and missions, don't you think?



Life Lessons from the Bible - Numbers 30:2

If we make a vow to God, we are not to violate it or "take it back." Jesus tells us, however, that it is better not to make a vow at all, but rather to always speak forthrightly (see matthew 5:33-37).

Numbers 30:2 "If a man makes a vow to the Lord...he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth."

BE PATIENT

This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital.

Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, "Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked, "but when are my fingers going to grow back?" The father went home & committed suicide.

Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u wish to take revenge. Think first before u lose your patience with someone u love. Trucks can be repaired.. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge.

People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.

PERSONAL PERCEPTION

Different people have different perception. One man's meat could be another man's poison. A couple bought a donkey from the market. On the way home, a boy commented, "Very stupid. Why neither of them ride on the donkey? "Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey. He walked besides them. Later, an old man saw it and commented, "The husband is the head of family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on foot?" Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey.

Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, "How can the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman."
The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey. Then, they met a young man. He commented, "Poor donkey, how can you hold up the weight of two persons. They are cruel to you." Hearing that, the husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on their shoulders.

It seems to be the only choice left. Later, on a nar row bridge, the donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell into the river. You can never have everyone praise you, nor will everyone condemn you. Never in the past, not at present, and never will be in the future.

Thus, do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is clear..

Pray!

WISDOM

True, we cannot choose the cross that God wishes us to carry,
but we can carry that cross with courage knowing that God will never abandon us nor send somethingwe cannot cope with.

Sometimes, God breaks our spirit to save our soul.
Sometimes, He breaks our heart to make us whole.
Sometimes, God sends us pain so we can be stronger.
Sometimes, God sends us failure so we can be humble.
Sometimes God sends us illness so we can take better care of ourselves.
Sometimes, God takes everything away from us so
We can learn the value of everything He gave us.

PRAYER

My Father God
I abandon myself into Your hands.
Do with me as you will.
Whatever You may do with me,
I thank You.
I am prepared for anything,
I accept everything
Provided your will is fulfilled in me
And in all creatures.
I ask for nothing more, my God.
I place my soul in your hands
I give it You, My Father God,
With all the love of my heart,
Because I love you.
And for me it is a necessity of love,
This gift of myself, this placing of myself in your hands,
In boundless confidence, because You are my Father.
Jesus be my Lord and Savior, Amen.

SCRIPTURES
Psalm 17:6 I have called upon You, for You will answer me, O God; Incline Your ear to me, hear my speech. Wondrously show Your lovingkindness, O Savior of those who take refuge at Your right hand From those who rise up against them, Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me in the shadow of Your wings.

1 Peter 5:7 cast all your worries on Him, because He cares for you.

Hebrews 13:5 {Make sure that} your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, "I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU,"

Psalm 16:1 Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in You.

Psalm 28:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart exalts,
And with my song I shall thank Him.

RIGHT SPEECH

There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation." Many relationships break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other, we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party.

A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted, "Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school." On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me. Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker." She answered,"You should appreciate that you married me. Other wise, he will be the millionaire and not you."

Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship. It's like a broken egg - cannot be reversed.

NO OVERPOWERING

Many relationships fail because one party tries to overpower another, or demands too much. People in love tend to think that love will conquer all and their spouses will change the bad habits after marriage. Actually, this is not the case. There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "It is easier to reshape a mountain or a river than a person's character."

It is not easy to change. Thus, having high expectation on changing the spouse character will cause disappointment and unpleasantness.

It would be less painful to change ourselves and lower our expectations..

CREATING PERFECT RELATIONSHIPS?

A person visited the government matchmaker for marriage, SDU, and requested "I am looking for a spouse. Please help me to find a suitable one." The SDU officer said, "Your requirements, please." "Oh, good looking, polite, humorous , sporty, knowledgeable, good in singing and dancing. Willing to accompany me the whole day at home during my leisure hour, if I don't go out. Telling me interesting stories when I need companion for conversation and be silent when I want to rest." The officer listened carefully and replied, "I understand you need television."

There is a saying that a perfect match can only be found between a blind wife and a deaf husband,
because the blind wife cannot see the faults of the husband and the deaf husband cannot hear the nagging of the wife. Many couples are blind and deaf at the courting stage and dream of perpetual perfect relationship. Unfortunately, when the excitement of love wears off, they wake up and discover that marriage is not a bed of roses. The nightmare begins.

NO POINTING FINGERS

A man asked his father-in-law, "Many people praised you for a successful marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?"
The father-in-law answered in a smile, "Never criticize your wife for her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better husband than you."

We all look forward to being loved and respected. Many people are afraid of losing face. Generally, when a person makes a mistake, he would look around to find a scapegoat to point the finger at. This is the start of a war. We should always remember that when we point one finger at a person, the other four fingers are pointing at ourselves.

If we forgive the others, others will ignore our mistake too.

TRUST is a very important factor for all relationships. When trust is broken, it is the end of the relationship. Lack of trust leads to suspicion, suspicion generates anger, anger causes enmity and enmity may result in separation.

A telephone operator told me that one day she received a phone call. She answered, "Public Utilities Board." There was silence. She repeated, "PUB." There was still no answer. When she was going to cut off the line, she Heard a lady's voice, "Oh, so this is PUB. Sorry, I got the number from my Husband's pocket but I do not know whose number it is."

Without mutual trust, just imagine what will happen to the couple if the telephone operator answered with just "hello" instead of "PUB".

Homeschoolers United On Matters Of The Heart

If not with this website, I wouldn't have known that this is actually happening in California. I am referring to the site reversetheruling.com with the goal of educating the public, and asking people to get involve by signing the petition. You can check about this site with this issue; Reverse The Ruling - Homeschoolers Unite which has just been launched. It is all about parental rights, child protection and simply a fight for freedom and rights of every American. This site is launched primarily for the purpose of reversing the ruling about homeschooling in California recently have been published by a California Judge H. Walter Croskey that parents “do not have a constitutional right to homeschool their children.”

We (my husband & I ) are very concerned about what we see here as a move to take away a fundamental parental human right. From the data that we have been able to find, it indicates that children who are home schooled , generally do better than their publicly educated counterparts in many areas of scholastic achievement, such as math, science, and other languages . So please, join the fight for our children, our fundamental parental rights and basically our way of life. Freedom and liberty would be terrible things to lose! Please click on the site above and make sure you, your family and your community is being heard on this!

This Blog Is Pinned Down :(

I don't understand why when it comes to opps, this blog has been pinned down. Inspite of having a google PR2, it has almost nothing for opps. I know it's a sub domain, and it can't be of big help at all when it comes to advertisers seeking blog sponsorship.
Here's the bottom line: If you have a PR2 sub domain blog...forget about blog sponsorship. No matter you have high contents and have high traffic, chance is you're missing some golden opportunity, somewhere over the rainbow!! heh. I think even if you get a PR10 if it's a sub domain, I doubt it...anyone who has a say with a sub domain blog PR10 and has been accepting at least 30 opps daily?...WOW! CONGRATULATIONS!

It's ridiculous...thank you {{bow}}.

Reasons To Smile

These tips can help boost your happiness while keeping you young at heart.
  • Tweak Your Thinking. "Unhappy, pessimistic people look at problems as permanent, and they throw in the towel right away." On the other hand, people who are happy and optimistic look at problems as challenges, and they focus on finding solutions.
  • Count your blessings. Research has shwon that people who express gratitude on a regular basis are more optimistic and healthier, on average, than those who don't. Cultivating greater gratefulness can be as simple as keeping a daily journal in which you write about things, large and small, that you're thankful for.
  • Be a do-gooder. Volunteering is another proven way to promote better mental and physical well being. When you're unhappy or depressed, keeping your mind off yourself is important. Plus, volunteering is a good way to get out and make friends-a great antidote to loneliness and isolation.
  • Get moving. Exercise is an excellent way to relieve stress, reduce anxiety and depression, and enhance psychological well-being. Aerobic exercise-the kind that makes you breathe hard and increase your heart rate for a sustained period of time-reduces the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. Plus, it's fun, if you pick an activity you enjoy. That's something to smile about! :)

More than thousands of quality merchandise and even famous branded name products are available at a wholesale price. No wonder why LightInTheBox is a leading worldwide wholesaler. You can get huge savings. Take time checking on some products that has free shipping too. I saw one of my favorite...Iphone! LOL. I am bookmarking it. :)

How To Detect The Presence of Abuse and Neglect

Abuse may be physical, psychological, sexual, or financial. Victims of abuse typically live with the abuser. Neglect involves witholding food or other necessities. Red flags for abuse and neglect include a family history of alcoholism, drug abuse, or violence; economic stress; cognitive impairment; caregiver experience; and blaming personalities.

DO's for Screening:
  • Suspect abuse when the patient has injuries in various stages of healing or that aren't readily explained. A caregiver who's unwilling to leave her side is another red flag.
  • Assess the patient's general appearance, posture and mental status. Is she clean and appropriately dressed? Does she appear withdrawn, anxious, depressed, cognitively impaired or delirious? Poor eye contact with her caregiver and reluctance to return to her living situation are also signs of abuse.
  • Assess for signs of malnourishment, such as a low serum albumin level and electrolyte imbalances, and for signs of dehydration, such as weight loss and poor skin turgor. Look for skin abnormalities such as bruises, scars and abrasions. Does she have pressure ulcers? Look for restraint marks on her wrists and ankles and cigarette burns anywhere on her body. Assess her for orbital ecchymosis, subconjunctival hemorrhage, and signs of ruptured tympanic membrane. Forced feeding may cause lip bruises and lacerations. Also assess for whiplash injuries (neck stiffness, shoulder pain, headache, paresthesia, hoarseness, difficulty of swallowing or chewing).
  • Suspect rib fractures if she has chest pain or assymetrical chest movement. crepitations during arm or leg range of motion may indicate a fracture.
  • Very gently palpate her abdomen. Extreme tenderness may signal an underlying injury.
  • Check her rectum and genitalia for bruising, bleeding, or discharge. Torn, stained, or bloody underclothes and difficulty walking or sitting due to genital discomfort are signs of sexual abuse.
  • If you suspect abuse, ask the caregiver to leave so you can interview the patient alone. Ask her, "Does anyone ever hurt you?"
  • Say to the suspected abuser, "Caring for your loved one must be difficult. Do you ever feel as if you're going to lose control?"
  • If you suspect abuse, follow agency policies and state laws for reporting and documenting your findings and subsequent interventions. Notify adult or child protective services.
DONT's for Screening:
  • Don't interview a possible victim in the presence of the possible abuser.
  • Don' be judgemental with either the victim or the abuser.

Ethnic Jewelries

Many women love jewelries, and I am not excluding myself :) I have some jewelry collections myself. But not much with ethnic jewelries. I find them attractive when I saw some of these at Ethnic Chinese jewelry & Asian home decor @ Jadeseal.com. I love jewelries made of genuine traditional and authentic jade. It is classically glamorous, don't you think? Jadeseal.com is an online retailer shopping store that offers you quality jade crystal products with a distinctive Asian feel, all at the best prices. They offer ethnic traditional Chinese jade jewelry wordwide bringing you excellent customer service. They have so much more to offer such as Asian home decor gifts and Feng Shui tassels. Of course, I can be a witness, when it comes to these products, Asia is one of the best. Jadeseal has a proven huge experience in both jade and online retail shopping. Products are mostly from places such as China, Southeast Asia and more. Since they do offer more than jewelries, you might also want to buy some decor gifts or some other products ideal for a special occasion gifts. You can have options of either jade jewelries, decor gifts or feng shui gifts. Feel free to visit Jadeseal today, with a 100% safe and secure shopping online. Oh, by the way, didn't I tell you I am an online shopper freak? :))
