LOVE: Complex or Simple?

Since the start of time, people have searched for the meaning of love. But even the great philosophers, with their profound definitions, could not fully touch its true essence. When I was young it’s the usual question ask in an autograph by my classmates. I was really fun writing on their autographs. I just realize then that somehow at the young age I have a simple but deep grasp of that four-letter word. Ha! Ha! Ha! It’s kind of funny when I read all of that stuff. Anyway what is love for us? I have a friend having a problem dealing with his partner. It’s really hard to keep a relationship…this is for the two of you…

1 Corinthians

Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful;
it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way;
it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong,
but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things;
believes all things; hopes all things; endures all things.

IN CHEMISTRY:

Biological models of sex tend to view love as a mammalian drive, much like hunger or thirst. Helen Fisher, a leading expert in the topic of love, divides the experience of love into three partly-overlapping stages: lust, attraction, and attachment. Lust exposes people to others, romantic attraction encourages people to focus their energy on mating, and attachment involves tolerating the spouse long enough to rear a child into infancy.Lust is the initial passionate sexual desire that promotes mating, and involves the increased release of chemicals such as testosterone and estrogen. These effects rarely last more than a few weeks or months. Attraction is the more individualized and romantic desire for a specific candidate for mating, which develops out of lust as commitment to an individual mate forms. Recent studies in neuroscience have indicated that as people fall in love, the brain consistently releases a certain set of chemicals, including pheromones, dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, which act similar to amphetamines, stimulating the brain's pleasure center and leading to side-effects such as an increased heart rate, loss of appetite and sleep, and an intense feeling of excitement. Research has indicated that this stage generally lasts from one and a half to three years.Since the lust and attraction stages are both considered temporary, a third stage is needed to account for long-term relationships. Attachment is the bonding which promotes relationships that last for many years, and even decades. Attachment is generally based on commitments such as marriage and children, or on mutual friendship based on things like shared interests. It has been linked to higher levels of the chemicals oxytocin and vasopressin than short-term relationships have. In 2005, Italian scientists at Pavia University found that a protein molecule known as the nerve growth factor (NGF) has high levels when people first fall in love, but these levels return to as they were after one year. Specifically, four neurotrophin levels, i.e. NGF, BDNF, NT-3, and NT-4, of 58 subjects who had recently fallen in love were compared with levels in a control group who were either single or already engaged in a long-term relationship. The results showed that NGF levels were significantly higher in the subjects in love than as compared to either of the control groups.

IN PSYCHOLOGY:

Psychology depicts love as a cognitive and social phenomenon. Psychologist Robert Sternberg formulated a triangular theory of love and argued that love has three different components: intimacy, commitment, and passion. Intimacy is a form in which two people share confidences and various details of their personal lives. Intimacy is usually shown in friendships and romantic love affairs. Commitment, on the other hand, is the expectation that the relationship is permanent. The last and most common form of love is sexual attraction and passion. Passionate love is shown in infatuation as well as romantic love. All forms of love are viewed as varying combination of these three components. Following developments in electrical theories, such as Coulomb's law, which showed that positive and negative charges attract analogs in human life, were developed, such as "opposites attract". Over the last century, research on the nature of human mating has generally found this not to be true when it comes to character and personality; people tend to like people similar to them. However, in a few unusual and specific domains, such as immune systems, it seems that humans prefer others who are unlike themselves (e.g. with an orthogonal immune system), since this will lead to a baby which has the best of both worlds. In recent years, various human bonding theories have been developed described in terms of attachments and ties.

I am may not a great person to say this but I have been in loved and been hurt before. I’ve been into several relationships and most likely all of those are unsuccessful. There are several reasons that ended up those relationships. Good or bad, the good thing about it is that I am happy now and even better. I may don’t have the authority to say this but somehow I have this huge and great learning with those relationships I have before. I am single now, living my self in accordance to my plan. Well it doesn’t mean that I will not engage my self to be in love or take into another relationship. I am open to it and well, not rushing things. I believe it will come in the right time with the right person.

Back to where should I be, again I have this friends whose relationship right now is in total chaos. Both of them are my friends and I really don’t know what went wrong. The other one wanted to end up everything and the other one is still in love with the other who is willing to settle things. I am a peer counselor before when I am college and I tried to guide them by not giving them advices what to do. As a guidance counselor you are not invoke for an advice but to guide them accordingly. Each and every one of us may have the same situation or should I say somewhat similar but the course of action on that particular situation might not be applicable to the other. So I guess I just want them to realize and made every decisions by themselves. Its easy to say if your not in that situation, but you ever thought that if you are caught in that situation you feel so damn stupid not to be able to solve that problem. It’s just normal; you are in that high emotional status where in emotions keep your critical thinking unstable. When I was in that situation when my partner wanted to rid off me, I really don’t know what to do asking and blaming myself what I have done. You feel so down seems your world turn upside down. You keep on thinking things what lack in your relationship, what you have done that person wanted their freedom? Its kind of hard for me, I feel I’ve been used just like clothes you can throw after you are over with it. Damn! It so hard that you can’t accept the fact that person doesn’t love you anymore recalling the first time you indulge your selves with "I LOVE YOU" everyday. Reminiscing how they promise each other that you will love each other till the end. I just don’t know if there are really people who are just like that or maybe it’s just me who think that. I tried to balance everything and tried to understand. To them they have nothing to say about me, I’ve been so damn good about the relationship but how come? What is the problem? I guess there are just relationships you need to have to experience pain and be a stronger person in the relationship you have. Some sort of a trial and error method, you keep on learning and learning and learning.

I have also experience a long distance relationship and been accused of being unfaithful for having been a friend in their place. How could that be? I made a chat with this person and we begin to have a little connection but that is not what you think to be intimate. I just wanted to burn time and the fact that I am clear about myself, my priority and my partner of course. Actually what really happened is that they meet up, the two of them. I was really upset about it maybe I’m jealous and I guess it’s just normal. The worst is I one the one accused of unfaithfulness. It’s really painful for me, I tried to fight about that but I was neglected and abandoned. I was left behind. And after several months I just know that they are already together. But I did not disagree with it and accept the fact. It hurts but I have nothing to do about it.

Guess what, we became friends. LOL! And the truth is there the one I’m talking about having problem with their relationship right now. Should I be glad about it? I may sound hypocrite but the truth is I’m not, I’m a little bit sad and I am hoping that they would be able to solve it if not they should settle in a nice way. Just like my other exes, I’ve been good and a friend with them already. It feels so good when you don’t have any hatred in your heart. You can fully live a happier life, a good one. Loving someone is taking a risk; you should be prepared your self to the worst. Every relationship doesn’t end in marriage nor last a lifetime. I guess the important things there is how you deal with it, how you handle it and hove you fight for it. I may be hurt several times but the chance to love and be loved is greater for me. Touching ones life and extending ones life to another is a great gift you can offer. Again love may be in different ways, may vary. In this case, we are being captivated and amazed by this wonderful feeling. It’s a circle of life, we stumble and fall and then we stand up high. We fall and rise, we learn!

The primary aspect of love is that it can help heal the wrongs of the world. While relationships change and the goals behind them alter with time, people will still need love. Love needs to be present to help discern the positive and negative aspects of this ever-changing world. Without love, the changes we make in our lives are meaningless.

ZODIAC COMPATIBILITY, Guide in Finding Your Compatible Partner.

Zodiac Compatibility: Please TAKE NOTE: Finding That Someone may not be Totally Dependent on This Topic.

What if someone came and told you that they could predict the future of your relationship.. wouldn't that get your attention? Of course it would! A romantic relationship is full of ups and downs and if someone could tell you how to handle things better it would definitely interest you. There are many things you look for in a partner and one of the most important things you seek is compatibility. Being compatible with your lover is one of the most essential parts of a relationship and this is why most people seek to find out their zodiac compatibility.

There are two kinds of compatibility that can exist in a romantic relationship, one is the level of compatibility on a personal level and the other is zodiac compatibility. Zodiac compatibility is determined on the basis of zodiac sign of a person. There are twelve signs of the zodiac which are compatible with certain other zodiacs signs which are known as their star partners:

Taurus- is compatible with Capricorn, Virgo, Cancer and Pisces Gemini- is compatible with Leo, Libra, Aries and Aquarius Cancer- is compatible with Virgo, Scorpio, Taurus and Pisces Leo- is compatible with Sagittarius, Aries, Gemini and Libra Virgo- is compatible with Capricorn, Cancer, Taurus and Scorpio Libra- is compatible with Aquarius, Gemini, Leo and Sagittarius Scorpio- is compatible with Virgo, Cancer, Pisces and Capricorn Sagittarius- is compatible with Aquarius, Leo, Aries and Libra Capricorn- is compatible with Virgo, Scorpio, Taurus and Pisces Aquarius- is compatible with Aries, Libra, Gemini and Sagittarius Pisces- is compatible with Cancer, Scorpio, Capricorn and Taurus Aries- is compatible with Sagittarius, Gemini, Leo and Aquarius The signs of the zodiac are determined by the time and the month of birth and are based on twelve different constellations. The zodiac signs have been named after the belt of constellations they fall under. People that fall under a certain zodiac sign are supposed of have certain kinds of personality traits that are characteristic of that particular zodiac. There are further divisions of the zodiac sign into the four elements of water, earth, fire and air. These divisions further determine certain kinds of personality types. When you want to determine zodiac compatibility you have to check for the level of compatibility between the zodiac sign of you and your partner, which means the compatibility of the personality types of you and your partner, according to zodiac signs. People of a certain zodiac sign are supposed to be more compatible with each other than signs. An example is the Zodiac sign of Virgo which is an earth sign and its star partner according to zodiac is supposed to be a Capricorn. A star partner according to zodiac prediction is a person belonging to a particular zodiac sign that is supposed to be perfectly compatible with another person of a particular zodiac sign.

LOST AND FOUND: You Try or Try HARDER, When Life is UNEASY That Even Breathing is Sometimes Hard To Do.

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it so complicated. Today I woke up again with great pain on my head. After all I've been late getting to my bed for I have attended some party last night. I was then trying to get a good sleep to get rid of this tired and heavy feeling I'm into. I guess today I will be staying in my bed, HUH? my entire day on my bed... Just then thinking this over and over again.

I wasn't been able to check the bus trip schedule going to LCC AIRPORT here in Kuala Lumpur instead I called up someone to check it up for me. Then I will be going to have a smooth tri by SATURDAY, I hope so. But again there are a lot of things bugging me and expect the unexpectable. I am back again to the real scenario, me stuck on my bed feeling heavy still. Something bugging on my head and then I feel a little awkward with my self asking why I always keep on doing this, you know partying and then complaining the next day with what I feel the next day. It's the same thing when i get so drunk that I vomit feels like killing myself saying I will not do it again, but the same thing happened again and again.

I wish that my life will be pleasant that I don't need to work for my self and do all the stuff in order to do and buy all the things I want. Why we do need to be that way if there are a lot of easier ways or means to enjoy life. Why I can't do things like other people do that they live there life in ease and comfort. Why can't I?

Sometimes you feel so tired that its so hard for you to move and lessen all this burden you have. That life seems so unfair. Why do I need to strive and do all this things everyday. I feel so down that nothing happens in my life. I guess, I am so eager to do other things but I just can't, or maybe I am just so less optimistic with life. Sometimes I just feel that even breathing seems so hard. I am lying in my bed with alone and writing what I feel... so what exactly what I feel. I my self don't know... my life maybe stagnant for a moment but actually I am a busy person at the same time... It just that I want something but I am not really sure what it is.... WELL, I GUESS LIFE IS UNFAIR AND INDEED SCREW UP MY LIFE BUT the real thing is: NO ONE NEED TO BE BLAMED BUT MY SELF. I am hoping that someday I would be able to figure it out.... I hope so...

What was the Question? IT’S EASY TO DIE THAN TO LIVE?

It's been so long that I opened my page and write on something. I've been busy for several DAYS that I may not be able to elaborate more here. Now that I have a chance to write on something here in my BLOG and been connected again to the CYBER WORLD. I immediately opened my PC to check on my emails and messages from my friends and my family. I feel so disconnected from the world and seems that I've been cut off from any connection for several days. When I return, I feel so lost and feel being left behind.

This day, as I opened my television to watch a movie I was bored as I never stopped on scanning channels to find a good show. Well, it ended up choosing a DVD to watch. I watched the "THE BRAVE ONE”, A Jodie Foster Movie, the fact that I love Jodie as an actress so no doubt I will spend more time choosing what to watch. I usually watched all her movies. Anyway the story runs this way: Radio host Erica Bain (Jodie Foster) is working and living a wonderful life in New York City without a care in the world. One night she and her fiance, David (Naveen Andrews), are brutally attacked by three thugs in the park while being recorded by one of them. David is killed and Erica is beaten within an inch of her life. Erica is traumatized to a point where she cannot sleep and will not leave her apartment. To cope and work past this tragic event, Erica becomes someone else. She buys a gun and begins to roam the streets at night looking to take her revenge on the men who were responsible for killing her one true love. One late night, Erica is in the back of a convenience store about to purchase a soft drink when a man comes in and kills his wife, who is a clerk in the store. Erica is a witness and he comes after her, she protects herself and finds that it is very easy to shoot a gun. Days later, Erica is on the subway when she is about to be raped by two men, and again she protects herself. The City of New York is fascinated with the exploits of this vigilante killer, and NYPD Detective Mercer (Terrence Howard) is trying to catch this person, before he kills again. Later on Erica gets a lead of where she can find the three men in the park and goes there to seek vengeance. She manages to kill all but the last one, being then saved by Detective Mercer whom she had already befriended and let her kill the last thug using the Mercer's gun so no one would link her to the killings. That’s the story ended. Sometimes we think we have our own perfect lives but in a wink of an eye we seen our selves tormented with sufferings and trouble. In case of the character story that she put JUSTICE through her own hands.Well, what really I am trying to say that there are a lot of things that complicate our lives. I was touched by their conversations (between Foster and her neighbor). When Erica (Foster) was smoking outside the apartment, the African Lady (her neighbor) said to her: "That thing can kill you”, She replied: “ I don't care”. So the lady said: “Go ahead, Its really easy and there are a lot of ways to die but the hardest thing is finding ways to live”. I may not be able to say the exact conversation but I guess that would be closest to it... (He!He!He!). Seriously, I was touched with the statement and been guilty about it. I sometimes feel so hopeless, sometimes unhappy and don't appreciate life.

There were a lot of things that change in me. My perception in life, and the total outlook of my self, my family, my friends and the world are just some of it. I just can't really express what I feel right now, I feel so down and very clueless of the future that awaits me. I still fighting, figuring and struggling to live and find answers because of the people who still believe and loves me. I guess it is true, finding ways to live and to survive is a hard thing to do... I live a simple life but with what I've been into in the past and experienced before, I am proud that I overcome all of it and still here keep on that forward pace of my journey in this temporary life we have in the world we live in.

WHAT I AM THINKING? It's my LIFE AFTER ALL!!!

I'm just a regular person not that famous nor not that controversial to be talked about. I'm just living a normal regular life just like you. Struggling on life and surviving all things that thing that I faces in everyday encounter. A lot of mistakes that I have made in my life.. regretting yes but I just need to continue life and try to learn from all of mistakes I have done.

Everyday I always read my horoscope online to know and somehow pattern my daily actions from it. I usually have this common thing in my daily horoscope or maybe just plainly a coincidence. I'm a kind of person who not easily be convinced by anybody but look at me...kinda believing in the horoscope but not necessarily or totally believing in it. I'm always indecisive with my actions and decisions of my life, now I depend on this stupid stuff. If I need to do this or to dothat I always see to it that I will actually do this after all there will be nothing loose from me. Today my horoscope read like this...

So then somehow I follow it and do some stuff in accordance to what it says. Then I just realize that this stuff makes me stick to what it say at then do it. What if I will make a decision in my life and try to believe from it. You know, I will follow it and do the same thing. I guess I can do it... after all I can with what the horoscope says right. It's just how should I focused on doing it. It's my life over and not just some crap and antics from the horoscope. I bet, I can! He!he!he!...Why not set standards to follow or should I say goals in your life and try to achieve it. In this way instead of some stupid things try to control over you, it is you who will govern it. Generally, its you and only you who will satisfy your self whether you chooses this way or that way. Setting goal will make you set standards and decide on you priorities in life. It's the same thing when other people tried to intervene in your life. Don't let other people choose anything for you. They can guide you but again it's up to to to decide. After all, all this things that will happened to you will you to be experienced, its you to be hurt, to feel joy and be satisfied. People are just your profound extension of your emotion to share with.

I guess what I realize here, is don't let other people control over your life nor any stuff telling you, for you will still be responsible with your own life. You decide if you want to be happy or not and people around you are instruments, guide to attain it. No man is an island and I believe it that's why you then share what you feel and whats in you whether your a success or failure. It doesn't matter at all. People can say whatever they want to say to you, but in the end of the day you're there alone and feel so bad about it. Time to stop that agony, It's time for you to learn things and fight back fairly. It's better to fight without stepping in others people feet. It's your life anyway and better not waste it. You take your own path to follow. YEAH! IT'S MY LIFE ... GOVERN YOUR OWN LIFE....

RE-EVALUATING LIFE: A process of Focusing on Things and Life's Direction.

Another day in my life... time running slow.. I really don't know why... I just feel it. I'm back again in this situation feeling so down and alone.... Again I feel so empty that I'm worthless and don't know what to do... I'm there but nobody see me... that even my own self can't even feel me.

I feel so numb... that even writing this blog... I don't know what to say... I just cant understand what I feel... I keep on asking my self but definitely I have all the answers in my mind... I have this longing and aspirations that I really don't know... Which and where my life will lead me....I keep on breathing, that even this thing feel so hard to do... Whatever life's purpose to me, I don't know what exactly will be in the future... a lot of anticipation... a lot of frustrations... a lot of mind bugling that affect me in all aspect of being an individual.. I feel so hopeless sometimes...

I always ended up to that dream of mine to live a simple life... to live my life in the the most remote place on earth with nobody knows me and life I spend will be so calm and simple.... Living with a tribe or indigenous people adopting their way of living and protect them from any culture and modern intrusion... I always wanted to live my life that way... I can see the horizon.. I peaceful and serene community living harmoniously... living in a low paced lifestyle enjoying every moment with kids, with community works and helping other people...

The time when I leave my family before, that was one of my proud moments for me... supporting my self and living independently... able to be responsible enough with my self but I ended up.. caught up drowned with social deviance and people's deceitfulness and pretensions... it's a disturbance living in denial finding my self... Now I'm here... alone and wanted to escape from this situation....to scream on the top of my lungs... to fight not just on my self alone but for others... i always wanted to help others. I guess it's just re-evaluating LIFE to attain better direction and track.

I guess there is nothing wrong asking things even if you already know the answers, maybe its just my way of analyzing things...at the same time reminding our selves...I want to live back through time when the world is not like this... but i guess it's impossible... anyway I would still be able to live a life I really wanted...

Finding HAPPINESS is just easy, its just a MATTER OF CHOICE.

"HAPPINESS IS LIBERTY FROM EVERYTHING THAT MAKES US UNHAPPY."

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. I believe that all men have a sweetness in their life. That is what helps them go on. It is towards that they turn when they feel too worn out, but I guess what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads? When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him; and you are torn by the thought of the unhappiness and night you cast, by the mere fact of living, in the hearts you encounter.

I am a little bit happy to recourse a new beginning with my family. As to every one's information that I went away from my family and seek for my life or should I say independence. I am back for now with a lot of reasons. Wrong decisions in the past is over and believed to me lessons I learned. There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.I guess we are here because of people around us... In that way we can be happy. Why not let people differ about their answers to the great mysteries of the Universe? Let each seek one's own way to the highest, to one's own sense of supreme loyalty in life, one's ideal of life. Let each philosophy, each world-view bring forth its truth and beauty to a larger perspective, that people may grow in vision, stature and dedication. Let us seek answers within ourselves... from deep within. We deserve to be happy and its up to us to feel it and experience it, it depends to our own choice. The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. In my case, I forgot the people who love me, my family, and now I know what is lacking to my life. I apprecaite more, especially people who will always there no matter what and I feel better when I share my views, my dreams with them. I realized that LIFE isn't about finding your own soul alone but finding people who will treasure you and stood by you forever. Life is meaningless by living ALONE. The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

PHILIPPINE NATIONAL ELECTION 2010: HOPE Amidst the FIASCO and the CIRCUS in Philippine Politics.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS, LEGISLATIVE ELECTIONS and LOCAL ELECTIONS in the PHILIPPINES is fast approaching and are scheduled to be held on MAY 10, 2010 basically a year from now. Who will be the 15th PRESIDENT of the PHILIPPINE REPUBLIC which will be succeeding President GLORIA MACAPAGAL-ARROYO?

(PHILIPPINE ELECTION: Filled with YELLOW BALLOT BOXES)

So much about that, whoever elected to be the next PRESIDENT of the PHILIPPINES must be able to unite all Filipinos and will be able to change the IMAGE of PHILIPPINE POLITICS and GOVERNANCE. A person of INTEGRITY and PUBLIC SERVICE with REAL motives and intentions in bringing out the best in every Filipinos. Who embarks knowledge and wisdom for the betterment of all and not only himself. With real NATIONALISM and PATRIOTISM in one common goal which is to uplift every Filipinos from POVERTY, CORRUPTION, UN-EMPLOYMENT, ENVIRONMENT DEGRADATION and MORALITY as well. As we all know who are planning to run for office for the coming election already make good fumes and sweet promises and acts for them to be noticed. Sometimes I think it's better to have election every year, you know why? Because POLITICIANS ARE BUSY DOING PROJECTS for their CONSTITUENTS. Isn't it GREAT? ROAD PROJECT HERE, ROAD PROJECT THERE, ELECTRIFICATION SUPPORT, LIVELIHOOD SUPPORT atleast they will be doing their job for that moment try to impress everyone, right? In this case we, the people will binefit from it. I hope it will not be a FIASCO or a CIRCUS, PITY!

(The so - called COMPUTER MACHINE that will be used for full automation for 2010 ELECTION )

For this matter, WE as voters should also comply with our right of suffrage and consider it as sacred. Value it as your own life, for your self, for your love ones and the future generations. “Those who stay away from the election think that one vote will do no good: but one step more to think one vote will do no harm.” Let us change our mentality, with our ONE VOTE we can make change. Let us be LIGHT to our fellow Filipinos who are shaded by MONEY, by INTIMIDATION and by POWER. Let our conscience speak and choose the rightful person whom we believe is CAPABLE, COMPETENT, HONEST and with INTEGRITY to govern us and to be SERVANTS of its people and not MASTERS to be served.

(Philippine National ELECTION in 2010 will Change Our Present Situation?)

(Poor JUAN DELA CRUZ, CONFUSED?)

Let me remind also the administering agency to be solely independent and be sovereign as they will not indulge themselves to the caprices of some people in power. I heard that the 2010 election will be computerized and seems to me that will help eradicate if not lessen the frauds during Elections. AGAIN, we should not be sure about it, LET US BE WATCHDOGS for our own sake and for our future. LET us join Hands and TOGETHER we will MAKE THIS 2010 ELECTION, CLEAN, HONEST and a PEACEFUL ONE. VOTE WISELY!

MANNY PACQUIAO: Truly a FILIPINO PRIDE, Truly a LEGENDARY BOXER.

HOORAY! I bet all FILIPINO around the WORLD is cheering to its BOXER HERO MANNY PACQUIAO last May 2, 2009. One of the most anticipated FIGHT of the YEAR is OVER. Manny wins over Ricky Hatton via KNOCK OUT in the last SECONDS of the second round at MGM GRAND GARDEN ARENA, Las Vegas, USA. This put him to the most and one of the greatest fighters on the world.

Winning in four divisions makes him recognized and make his fellow Filipino PROUD. For Filipinos its more than winning but a humble pride we feel. I am actually at Malaysia when the fight was on. Of course it was been ever better when I am in the Philippines. It’s a little bit odd because I am alone here and with no Filipino with me. I am in a foreign land where makes me feel a little bit lonely and homesick. With this fight I witnessed makes me a little bit better well actually better than ever. Again, I just cant imagine what would be the glorious moment when I am in the Philippines when a lot of people is cheering to their CHAMP IDOL. I think it is more enjoyable to seize the moment. Manny’s triumph is Filipinos VICTORY at the same time.

In this way we are able to see our own selves, capable, strong, proud, dignified, recognized as FILIPINOS. For a matter of minutes or I say an hour, Filipino is UNITED in support of this BOXING CHAMP. For a while we forget our own problems, differences, conflicts and in my case being homesick. We should also start to see other Filipinos who excel and give pride to out country such as THE FILIPINO ALL STARS champion in HIP HOP, CHARICE who conquered the world with her VOICE, LEA SALONGA a World class Performer and a lot more. WE ARE FILIPINOS, WE ARE A NATION OF BRAVE PEOPLE, WITH GLORIOUS PAST,and RICH CULTURE… this is just to remind us all that we should be PROUD of ourselves and don’t let other oppress, bully and criticized us. Actually no, LET THEM, just don’t listen for we know deep inside we are GREAT. Hope that we will not end up here, you know, we have a life to continue and hoping that it would be better.

THIS IS A VIDEO of MANNY PACQUIAO and RICKY HATTON.

Watch it again and ENJOY.

HUMAN DIVERSITY: Diffferences of HUMAN is not a HINDRANCE for a better WORLD.

ANAIS NIN: "We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations." I was STRUCK by this NOTION, indeed it is TRUE.

Differences challenge assumptions, I bet. We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.We have become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic of a wide canvass of beautiful art of the WORLD. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams but with common GOAL. Its how we perceive things, you and me sitting together hesitant to talk to each other for we may have conflict. WHY THINK THAT WAY? We might ended up a lot of COMMON THINGS about the WORLD, about LIFE, and about ASPIRATIONS. Isn't it a LOVELY PLANET to LIVE IN?

For those who have seen the Earth from space, and for the hundreds and perhaps thousands more who will, the experience most certainly changes their perspective. The things that we share in our world are far more valuable than those which divide us. We are just one small part of this HUGE LIFE GIVER WORLD. Each of one PLAY a VITAL ROLE in each and every one's LIFE. We breathe the same air. We step on the same ground, we ate to live, we work hard for our own future. If we just count on things that we SIMILARITIES rather that counting on things we DIFFER from each other. Isn't it a LOVELY PLANET to LIVE IN?

DIFFERENT CULTURE, DIFFERENT RELIGIONS, DIFFERENT LAWS, DIFFERENT GODS, DIFFERENT TRADITIONS, DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, DIFFERENT COLORS, DIFFERENT PRACTICES. We live on the MODERN ERA, We are not on the SAVAGE LAND anymore. What we need is RESPECT, LOVE, COMPASSION, UNDERSTANDING, ACCEPTANCE and we will make this WORLD a BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN. NO MORE WAR and PEACE Will certainly REIGN in this MARVELOUS and AMAZING WORLD WE LIVE IN. With our DIFFERENCES and despite of our DIVERSITY we will be in a HARMONIOUS RELATIONSHIP; MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING of LIFE in this WORLD. OUR DIVERSITY will color the WORLD and just like MUSIC we are a symphony that will make an astonishing composition to hear and listen. I BELIEVE that our DIFFERENCES is not a HINDRANCE for a better world, Isn't it a LOVELY PLANET to LIVE IN?
