Who's company do you keep?

2011-01-27T21:25:00.001-08:00

The quality of your life will be, in part, dependent on the quality of the people you hang out with. So choose the very best specimens of humanity available.

Just Do it

Looking, studying, analyzing, thinking and planning are all nice and good. But unless you act, nothing happens.

Ideas to shock you

2011-01-23T18:17:00.000-08:00

Don’t talk about how you are; Talk about how you want to be. Don’t talk about where you are; talk about where you want to go!
Sometimes, the worst advice you can give to someone is “be realistic”.

"You can map out a fight plan or a life plan, but when
the action starts, it may not go the way you planned,
and you're down to your reflexes — which means your
training. That's where your roadwork shows.

If you cheated on that in the dark of morning—well,
you're getting found out now, under the bright lights."

— Joe Frazier

We assisted in the building of the house. Be it painting the doors, cement mixing,
digging a hole for something, or just being there to hear their stories.
Truly something that was a good experience.

They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
But when the darkness sets in,
Their true beauty us revealed
Only if there is a light from within

Teen Creed

2007-02-27T05:59:00.000-08:00

I'm obviously not a teen anymore (Rofl!!) but here goes

Don't let your parents down
They brought you up.
Be humble enough to obey
You may give orders someday.
Choose companions with care,
You become what they are.
Guard your thoughts,
What you think, you are.
Choose only a date
who would make a good mate.
Be master of your gabits,
or they will master you.
Don't be a show off when you drive.
Drive with safety and arrive.
Dom't let hte crowd pressure you.
Stand for something or you'll fall for anything.

There! Hope you had as much fun learning from this text as i had. :)

Pro-Life Post

2007-02-27T05:48:00.000-08:00

Hi there this is taken from Love Life ( a Pro-life magazine in the Philippines)

I have cut to the point here and here goes:
"I'm going to end with a sampling of a discussion from Generations for Life about the value of protecting our intimacy and the way our choices are determined largely by how deeply we cherish this intimaccy. This is a comment by a woman named Mary Kay ( I must say, she's pretty creative in explaining!):

I have used that analogy of a candy bar with my 9-year-old. Not wishing to get too graphic with her when she was 7, but needing to address some overtly sexual dancing at a 7 year old's birthday party. I told her that all little girls have a candy bar. Many little boys will try to get that candy bar. If they give their candy bar way, those boys will eat their candy bar and then dump the girl, moving on to fresh girls and fresh cand bars. I told her not to even let those boys taste her candy bar, because hen no boy would want her candy bar anymore. I strongly suggested (I emphasize "STRONGLY") that she furthermore, not even so much as unwrap her candy bar. Some girls like to unwrap it and tease the boys. But this too is inappropriate.

However, one day, when she meets the right boy, and they stand at an altar in front of God and everyone, and she has a nice promisory ring on her finger... them, and only the, may she finally share her candy bar. And she will recognize the boy because he will be the one who never tried to bribe, steal or cajole that candy bar away from her. He will be the one who waited, and respected her.

Believe it or not, a few weeks later, she pointed to a window ad in Victoria's Secret (sexy angels, I believe) and asked if those women were giving their candy bars away...

Out of the mouth of babes...

Well said.... Hope people around the world will read this text.

Movie quote

2006-11-21T18:44:00.000-08:00

I received a text message and it struck a nerve in me. Human civilization has become more and more materialistic imo and little or no value has been given to values.

"I think everybody should get rich and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer"
-Jim Carrey

Will someone pretty please tell me which movie this quote came from. :)

First Test

2006-11-08T16:39:00.000-08:00

These were my results for the pre-assessments that I took.

Module 1 : Pre-assessment 79/84 94%

Module 2 : Pre-assessment 61/86 70%
Module 2 : Post-assessment 85/86 98%

Module 3 : Pre-assessment 75/103 72%

I was wondering why of all the possible answers to a single question, the basic and least used answer was the required one. I thought shortcuts were made to make editing, viewing and anyhow easier.. Well, It was a humbling experience.

The suggestion of immediately reviewing the subject matter after failing a test was a good one. :)

This is just the start of the course. We still have a long way to go.
