M - O - T - H - E - R

"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"

A word that means the world to me.

(Howard Johnson)


Happy Mother's Day!

Holy Week, Commuting and the Ro-Ro

It's that time of the year many Pinoy employees in the big city await, probably second only to Christmas. Well, many call it pasko too, referring to the "Pasko ng Pagkabuhay" or Feast of the Resurrection that culminates the Holy Week festivities in the Philippines. For the devout, it's a time of reflection for past sins committed or omitted, some even going to the extremes and nailing themselves to the cross. Personally, I don't agree with what these penitents do, for Christ died for our sins once and for all, right? There is no need to repeat what He was already Victorious for.

But if these activities are what these penitents BELIEVE could atone for their sins, then so be it. For what is more important is that they believe and are repenting of their sins -- while the hecklers and the know-it-all's throw all sorts of pun, criticisms, and what have you towards the penitents' way. But if you asked them what sort of "repentance" they have done for this Holy Week - a prayer maybe, or reconciliation with someone they have a grudge with, etc -- they would simply look you in the eye, smile, and say they don't have any "serious sin" to merit such penance.

When a Train Becomes a Boxing Arena

I am sure that most of us have experienced riding the LRT and MRT more than once. I must say that the LRT and MRT already became significant part of our transportation system since it is cheap and fast. People from different social classes are riding these trains mainly for convenience.

I was an avid train commuter when I was in college and now that I’m part of the working force, riding these trains became more frequent since I don’t have my own car and I don’t know how to drive. I think more people will agree that this way of commuting is much better than the others (buses, jeepneys, FX’s, etc.) because almost everyone can afford it and it can take us anywhere we wish on a short span of time.

STRADCOM and the R.F.I.D. Scam

(a requested post. not my own personal views)

Subject: Ang Istorya sa Likod ng R.F.I.D. Scam - kung may sasakyan ka, makialam ka

Ang kontrata ng STRADCOM sa computerization ng LTO ay nagtapos na. Subalit dahil nakasaad sa kontrata na "HAWAK NILA SA LEEG" ang LTO, dahil sa pagtatapos ng kanilang kontrata ay dadalhin nila ang mga computer hardware at software, at ang ititira ay ang DATA lamang, nanatili ang STRADCOM sa LTO.

THE PILOT

Years ago, I was enthralled as I listened to a pastor who for several years had faithfully served the church. His executive responsibilities had taken him all over this country. As he concluded his message, he told of one of the most frightening yet thought-provoking experiences of his life.

He had been on a long flight. The first warning of the approaching problems came when the sign on the airplane flashed on: "Fasten your seat belts."
