Good day everyone.

I want to share this saying to everyone who is in love,

and falling out of love.

There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer;

no disease that enough love will not heal;

no door that enough love will not open;

no gulf that enough love will not bridge;

no wall that enough love will not throw down;

no sin that enough love will not redeem...

It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble;

how hopeless the outlook;

how muddled the tangle;

how great the mistake.

A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.

If only you could love enough you would be the happiest and most powerful being in the world...
I hope that this will inspire all of you who will read my blog.
Have a nice day.
and good evening everyone.

THE SUNDAY MASS


Good day everyone It's Sunday again.

Most of us Christian's used to go to the Church every Sunday.

It reminds us about our savior Jesus Christ.

The Passion of Jesus is the greatest love story of all time.

We Christians believe that to celebrate the Lord's Supper is a sacred event that connects us to the eternal sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross.

When people cannot attend Eucharist in church any longer, television and radio provide a vital alternative for spiritual nourishment.

Letters testify to the way God touches people when they attend to His word with humility and faith.

It is our privilege to present THE SUNDAY MASS to a large cross section of people, from believers to seekers, for the loving hand of God rests upon us all.

GOD BLESS EVERYONE OF US

BAYANIHAN




Good day viewers hi! hello everybody I'm here again to share to you some of the Philippines Bayanihan.
Bayanihan is the creation of alliances with neighbors and the helping attitude whenever one is in dire need.
Often, the Bayanihan spirit in action can be seen when someone needs help lifting or building the house.
The by standing or surrounding Filipinos would assist in whatever undertakings to get the house back on going.
This can be contrasted with the individualistic attitude of European and American societies.
Bayanihan (pronounced as bah - yah - nee - han) is a Filipino term taken from the word bayan, referring to a nation, town or community.
The whole term bayanihan refers to a spirit of communal unity or effort to achieve a particular objective.
Today, the term bayanihan has evolved into many different meanings and incorporated as code names to projects which depict the spirit of cooperative effort involving a community of members.
Sad to say the truth but the real meaning of BAYANIHAN has already forgotten now a days.
I hope that this Blog will make us realize and open up our mind to bring back the true spirits of BAYANIHAN not just in thought but also in deed.
"GOD BLESS EVERYONE HAVE A NICE DAY"

ASH WEDNESDAY= Is The seventh Wednesday before Easter and the first day of Lent.

LOVE

Love is patient, love is kind.

It does not envy, it does not boast,it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.

It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Welcoming The Year Of The PIG




Good Day everyone.


Thanks "GOD" it's Saturday again.


I'm Happy you Know why?


Because today is ___ Day !!!!
Happy Chinese NEW YEAR !!!
Welcome "Year of the Fire PIG"


The Chinese New Year begins on February 18, 2007.
This will celebrate the 4705 lunar years in the Chinese calendar.
This year celebrates the Year of the Pig.
There are twelve animal signs for the Chinese calendar and the pig or boar represents the last sign of the lunar calendar.
The New Year's festival lasts 15 days.

The twelve animals
of Chinese Astrology:
Rat
Ox
Tiger
Rabbit
Dragon
Snake
Horse
Sheep
Monkey
Rooster
Dog
Boar/PIG
The Pig
This image of the fire Pig is represented by yin fire sitting on the yin water of the Pig.
As water and fire clash when they occur together, the dynamics of 2007 are likely to bring conflict, struggle and disharmony.
International conflicts may continue and even intensify.
Some countries may experience the overtaking of their governments and the emergence of a new regime.
However in the longer-term, events that come to the surface during 2007 may actually lead to more positive and harmonious global relationships between countries and between communities.
The Pig generally is considered to be a peace-maker – generous, compassionate, tolerant and understanding of others.
In fiery situations the energy of the Pig will seek to quell disharmony and unrest.
However the Pig also enjoys luxury and material wealth, so any threat to these comforts could be met with defensiveness

But everything turns all right when we got home cause after what happened in a whole day,
I've been so Happy and Contented cause my special someone gave me the most precious gift that i ever received in my entire LIFE....

THE BACLARAN CHURCH


Evening everyone I'm here again.
Yesterday night after work I went to Baclaran Church with my one of the assistant here atJOYFUL ENGLISH PLAZA.
After going at the Church i discover that it was her day off the following day so I invite her to come with me.
We used to chat along the way,we talked a lot of things making laugh in everything that we see.
I have to prepare our dinner then so we both some finger foods like ISAW and Fried Chicken.
Even it is already late we eat a lot with our hands.It was very fun while we're together.

BACLARAN CHURCH= Is one of the Famous Church in Manila for The Shrine of Our Mother of Perpetual Help is sheltered.
The Redemptorists brought the picture of Our Mother of Perpetual Help to the Philippines in 1906.The Novena in Baclaran began on the 23rd of June, 1948.
There were only 70 people present.Within a year, a second session had to be provided and some extensions were made to the small wooden church.
Before the end of 1949, there were eight crowded sessions of the Novena.
The Wednesday of each week became a day of prayer to Our Mother of Perpetual Help in the whole nation.
The increasing attendance of the devotees forced the Redemptorists to consider a more spacious church.
The bulk of the money that built the Shrine came from small offerings of very ordinary people. This is why it took six years to build.
On January, 1958, the whole Philippine Hierarchy officially declared the Baclaran Church to be the National Shrine of Our Mother of Perpetual Help.
And on December 1, 1958, the completed church was solemnly consecrated by Archbishop Rufino Card. Santos of Manila.Since the day when the Shrine opened, it has never been closed, either day or night.
The church has a capacity for 2,000 persons seated, and for another 9,000 standing.On a Wednesday, there are 7 sessions of the Novena with Benedictions, 3 sessions of Novena-Masses; and 2 sung Masses.
There are about 120,000 devotees who come to Baclaran each Wednesday to pray the Novena.
They start coming from 4:00 AM until past midnight.
Confessions are heard daily in the Shrine at almost every hour.
ON Wednesdays, the confessionals are crowded all day long. Each week, hundreds of Petition and Thanksgiving letters come in.
Many come even from foreign countries whenever Filipinos happen to be.
The feast of Our Mother of Perpetual Help is celebrated on June 27.
A novena of nine consecutive days precedes the annual celebration of the feast.
ISAW=Is a chicken Intestine.

Good Afternoon everyone
Well how's all of you out there?
For me i got a busy day yesterday, very busy......

I want to share to you the Books that I've read a couple of day's ago.
It is about a 10 year old Boy who looking for his "Deadbeat" father
who abandoned them.
And suddenly found out a man who's his Father's look a like but using other name,
And denying the truth of being his own father.
But the word did not convince the boy so they decided
to take the DNA testing just to prove that the man he found was not really his Father.
Upon the result of the testing his gens are the same with him.
Somehow the man who used to call him self Jo Smith found out that he was the Boy's
Father's long lost twin whom his own Mother thought that was already dead because
of miss switching happened the day they were born in the hospital.
That Jo Smith is not his father but a long lost Uncle.

I was really hook by the story, all of you out there try to read this Book too.
I'm pretty sure that you will also like it....
