SOMEONE SAID, "THERE IS AN EMPTY VACUUM IN OUR HEART THAT ONLY GOD CAN FILL.  AND IT IS NOT A RELIGIOUS MYTH THAT WHEN SOMEONE IS IN THE POINT OF DEATH, CONSCIOUSLY OR UNCONSCIOUSLY, HE CALLS, HE CRIES, AND WAILS FOR HIS MAKER. REMIND ME OH LORD! NOT TO WANDER FROM YOUR PRESENCE ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE. MUCH MORE TO WANDER FROM YOUR PRESENCE IN ETERNITY.. GIVE ME A SENSE OF DIRECTION IN LIFE. A WISDOM TO DETERMINE BETWEEN WHAT IS WRONG AND WHAT IS RIGHT. A STRENGTH TO EMBRACE YOUR WILL. BRING ME BACK IN YOUR PRESENCE AND WHEN MY LIFE IS OVER, I WANTED TO BE REUNITED WITH YOU, MY LORD.

When computer and cell phone is not yet so popular and electronic email and text messaging has not been introduced, trading love notes is the best way  to communicate our feelings to someone we love. Though it takes days and even months before it reaches its final destination, but the joy of receiving it by the other party especially in remote and dangerous places is beyond explanations. The same is indescribable when someone opens and reads it.        (picture taken from the internet) Putting oneself in the shoes of those people receiving love letters is not the best thing to do. You need to experience it by yourself in order for you to understand the feeling. Trading notes or love letters always tend to be magical.  The spell started in the conceptualization and formation of words. Once the feeling is converted into words, the one writing the love letter becomes the likes of Shakespeare and the spells hypnotizes the one reading it and sometimes...

FOR QUIET SOMETIME, THE WANDERING BLOGGER SEEMS INACTIVE IN WRITING FOR ONE REASON, NOT BECAUSE HE RUNS OUT OF IDEAS BUT MAINLY BECAUSE OF THIS STRANGE FEELING THAT I DO NOT WANT TO WRITE AT ALL.  I NEED TO MOTIVATE MYSELF TO FIGHT THIS STRANGE FEELING WITHIN ME AND CONVINCE MYSELF THAT I NEED TO WRITE AGAIN. I BELIEVE MY READERS ARE VERY EAGER ANTICIPATING MY NEXT ARTICLE.. CLIMATE CHANGE IS A BY-WORD NOW AND ECO-WARRIORS WAS BORN TO RESTORE THE FAST DETERIORATING PLANET EARTH.

Who says that a handicapped persons cannot live a happy and normal life? In fact, they do, and some of them are much more happier and contented  than most of us. When I was a teenager doing missionary work in Davao, I went to a place, known by folks living nearby as the "Paradise of the Blind" . Living with them, even for a short period of time, is one of the treasured memories in my whole life. It amazes me, that though they were blind, they can do almost everything like a man with sight. It is my first time to see a blind man climbing a coconut tree, picking up, and husking coconut fruits. And mind you the landscape of their vegetation was so pictured perfect from all angles and directions. Their own houses was so neat and clean. Everything was in order. They cook their own food and wash their own dishes. There is no dull moment for me staying with them, I wished I could stayed longer. We shared a lot of things together. But I need to go and bid them goodby...

Meet  ZYZA CRUZ BACANI , A Filipina domestic helper in Hong Kong for 9 years. She moonlights as photographer in down town Hong Kong during her day-off. She observed that Hong Kong is one of the most racist city in the world. especially when it comes to domestic helpers.  But the younger generation according to her were nicer, maybe because they were raised by domestic helpers from the Philippines. Zyza also  volunteered to work at Bethune House Migrant Women's Refuge, a shelter for abused migrant workers were she documented their plight.  MORE ABOUT ZYZA CRUZ BACANI A) Hong Kong Life with Camera / Zyza Cruz Bacani / TEDxHongKongED B) "Photographer.DH" / Howie Severeno / I-Witness MAY THE STORY OF ZYZA CRUZ BACANI BECOME A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION TO OUR COUNTRYMEN WORKING ABROAD AND TO OTHER MIGRANT WORKERS AS WELL.

"Love, the True Essence" By Val Sarte Last night, after so long, I had opportunity to open the pages of my Bible and landed in the book of Genesis. I want to share with you today is the story which I read and it is somewhat like the famous "ALDUB FEVER", a "A Kalye Serye" of Eat Bulaga. A story of modern day romance that makes us titillate and even jump for joy. Jacob, the son of Isaac is about to find a wife and was advised by his father to go to a "Paddan-aram" and there h e will find his wife. The first encounter between Jacob and Rachel was "Love At First Sight" this is what we called today. When Jacob see Rachel, he came near to her rolled over the stone covering the mouth of the well and watered her flocks then kneel-down and kissed her. Jacob loves so much Rachel and served Laban, the father of Rachel for seven years in exchange of Rachel. At this point, let us make our imagination works and picture out when...

"Nothing is ever truly broken". That is the philosophy behind the ancient Japanese Arts of Kintsugi, which repairs smashed pottery by using beautiful seams of gold. This practice started way, way back in the 15th Century when Japanese Military Commander Ashikaga Yoshimasa accidentally broke one of his favorite Chinese tea pot. (picture taken from BBC Arts Get Creative) Because he loves so much the tea pot, Commander Yoshimasa went to repair shop to get it fixed.But he was dismay over the result. From then on, Japanese Craftsmen come up with more pleasing method of repair. As you can see it from the illustration above and because of the treatment and application being applied no trace of evidence that it was formerly broken into pieces. I wish that this method of fixing broken teapots either made of glass or ceramic can also be applied in our relationship once it was broken into pieces. Carrie Jones, Entice said;"You know, life fractures us all into little p...

valsarteprivateeyes.blogspot.com ACCORDING TO THE DICTIONARY, ETYMOLOGY IS THE STUDY OF THE ORIGIN OF WORDS AND THE WAY IN WHICH THEIR MEANINGS HAVE CHANGED THROUGHOUT HISTORY. TO BETTER UNDERSTAND ANY GIVEN WORDS, WE NEED TO TRACE BACK ITS ORIGIN AND USAGE. FOR INSTANCE, THE WORD POLITICS, IT COMES FROM THE GREEK WORD  Πολιτικά  WHICH MEANS "AFFAIRS OF THE CITIES". AND THOSE WHO STUDY THE AFFAIRS OF THE CITY ARE CALLED POLITICOS OR POLITICIANS. MERRIAM-WEBSTER DEFINES POLITICS AS THE ART OR SCIENCE OF GOVERNMENT. BUT FOR SOME, IT IS MORE OF AN ART THAN SCIENCE. THE TERM POLITICS WAS INTRODUCED BY THE GREEK PHILOSOPHER ARISTOTLE, WHO DEFINED IT AS A  CIVILIZED  FORM OF COMMUNITY. POLITICS IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR MODERN SOCIETY. IT HAS A COMPLEX AND MULTI-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE. THERE ARE LOT OF SOCIAL, POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL GROUPS OR SECTORS IN OUR SOCIETY AND THEY ARE DISTINCT AND UNIQUE FROM EACH OTHER. THESE STRUCTURES OPERATES FREELY...

SOME COUPLES PREFERRED TO BE WED ON THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER. IN SOME COUNTRIES, SEPTEMBER IS AN AUTUMN MONTH. IT IS THE TRANSITION FROM SUMMER TO WINTER. WHEN WINTER COMES, IT IS MUCH MUCH BETTER TO HAVE SOMEONE TO HUG THAN TO SPENT THIS SEASON WITHOUT SOMEONE ON YOUR SIDE. THERE IS NO AUTUMN OR WINTER SEASON IN THE PHILIPPINES. BUT DURING THIS MONTH ONWARD MARKS THE RAINY SEASON IN THE ARCHIPELAGO. TYPICALLY, IT IS GOOD FOR WEDDING BECAUSE IT IS COLDER MIX WITH WET SEASON. JOSHUA AND KARIZZA ARE ONE OF THOSE SO MANY COUPLES THAT CHOOSE TO BE WED ON THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER. THE EVENT ORGANIZER OF THEIR WASTED NO TIME TO MAKE THE VENUE WORTH REMEMBERING BY MAKING IT ELEGANT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. ALL ARE SET. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT WILL COME INTO PLAY. THE WEDDING CAKE AWAITS FOR THE COUPLE TO BE SLICED AND THE WINE TO BE UNCORKED. THE COUPLE'S SOUVENIRS ARE ALSO READY FOR DISTRIBUTIONS. WHEN...
