A Job that never Exist in my vocabulary 8 years ago!

I can’t still imagine my self being in the teaching profession for almost a year. I’ve been teaching for almost a year now but I don’t feel I’m teaching. I can’t still believe that my primary source of income is teaching. I’d never dreamed and thought to be a teacher when I was in high school, though my teacher always encourages me to be a teacher because I was one of the top students in the class that they can always depend on any time. I graduated as salutatorian that’s why they really encourage me to enroll Education and be a teacher because they believe that I can be an effective and efficient teacher in the future but I told them that I hate teaching and it’s not included in my vocabulary words. But things change!

Because my grades are quite high and I graduated salutatorian, the government granted a full scholarship in collage at the University of Baguio, Baguio City. But they gave me a condition which I didn’t expect. I can only enjoy or avail my full scholarship if and only if am going to enroll Education! Bad condition for me! When I heard about the condition they are asking, I was frustrated. It took me one month to decide before I accepted the offer. I accepted the offer because I don’t have any choice. My family is poor and they can’t afford to send me in a well known University to study. I grab the opportunity though it’s hard on my part because this is what my parents want me to do and don’t want to hurt and disappoint them. I don’t know if will works, I only know one thing on that time, my dreams where shuttered.

After five years, I finished the course. It took me five years to finish the course because of some distractions like financial problems and etc. And now, I can’t still believe I’m already a teacher and I’ve been in this profession for almost a year! The only happy ending is that I’m making some coins from teaching right now! What a job! Teaching is really the noblest profession but I don’t still love what I’m doing.

Denied Blog

I created a blog last February because I heard that it is fun and exiting. My co teacher’s daughter created it for me under her domain. She’s hosting a lot of blogs for almost a year right now. She told me to change my password for security purposes and I should start blogging as soon as possible. And I should visit some blogs and give a comment in order to leave a mark. “One way of increasing blog ranks is to visit other blog”, this is the thing that she told me.

As soon as I changed the password I started blogging and I visited a lot of blogs in order to invite readers and increase my page rank. I spent all my free time at the office in blogging hopping to catch some readers. I really exerted effort and invested a lot of time in blogging since February 2008. I wrote some interesting essays about my life and serious things or issues happening around the world hoping to catch the attention of blog readers. I can’t believe all my works was gone in a single minute since last week!

I felt frustrated and stress last week when my blog was suspended including the blog of my host. I called her and told her everything and she tried her best to fix it but she failed. Her blog site was suspended because she hosted a lot of blog including mine and yet her domain wasn’t aloud to host because it is just a sub domain.

She was instructed to eliminate all her sub domains if she wants to continue blogging and get back her blog site! That’s what she did though it’s hard on her part. She was really frustrated about the accident but she can’t do anything about it except to follow the rules.

When I heard the bad news, I created a new blog in order to recover from what I have lost. But whether I like it or not I need to start form the bottom again. I’m still happy though for Karen because she was able to save her blog!

“Reincarnatoin”

How much difference is there between reincarnation and the hope held out in the Bible?

Reincarnation

Let me share with you an interesting comparison and answer that I have found. First, let me define reincarnation. Reincarnation is a belief that one is reborn in one or more successive existences which may be human or animal. Usually it is an intangible “soul” that is believe to be reborn in another body.

According to this belief, when a person dies, the soul will passes on to a better existence if the individual has lived a good and proper life, but possibly to existence as an animal if his record has been more bad than good. Each rebirth is believed to bring the individual back in to the same system of things where he will suffer an eventual death. The cycle of rebirth are viewed as virtually endless. Is such a future really that awaits you? Some believe that the only way of escape is by extinguishing all desire for things pleasing to the senses. To what do they escape? To what some describe as unconscious life.

Bible

According to the Bible, the “soul” is the complete person. Even though a person may have done bad things in the past if he repents and change his ways, Jehovah God will forgive him (psalm 103:12, 13). When a person dies, nothing survives. Death is like a deep dreamless sleep. There will be a resurrection of the dead. This is not a reincarnation but a bringing back to life of the same personality (Acts 24:15). For most people, the resurrection will be to life on earth. It will take place after God brings the present wicked system to its end. Sickness, suffering, even the necessity to die will become things of the past. (Daniel 2:44; Revelation 21:3, 4).

The Role of Wisdom in Good Communication

The Bible tells Christians to b “swift about hearing” and “slow about listening.” (James 1:19) This is effective and good advice when one is dealing with children of any age. Hearing and listening is very important and effective in dealing with adolescents.

This may require great effort but you have to expand your communication skills when your children became teenagers. You have to reason with them, talk things through, and let them use their own thinking abilities to resolve matters. In short, as good parents you need to reach their heart. Listening is especially vital when there is a conflict. Resolved the conflict by sitting down with your sons or daughters and listen to them carefully. And you can see that being “swift about hearing” help you to discern a deeper issue.

Proverbs 18:13 states: “when anyone is replying to a matter before he hears it, that is foolishness on his part and humiliation.”

Early morning headach

I was little upset and feel bad this morning because of my aunt. I woke up 6:00 Am and took a shower. After shower, I iron my cloths and went to kitchen for early breakfast. I stop eating and lost my appetite when my aunt came from the other door with bad mood; she talked a lot and scolded everybody in the kitchen including me with out explaining the reason.

I don’t know what was wrong with her, maybe she don’t have enough sleep or she just want to scold us. But whatever the reason is, I really felt bad because she shook me and made me feel stupid going to work without having breakfast.

Data Traveler

Technology has gone so far today, five years ago, you need to buy 3 inches floppy disk if you want to save confidential files. But now, it is possible to save any files from the computer that you want to keep confidential and bring it with you anywhere because of the this Data Traveler also known as USB

This Data Traveler is quite interesting and different, it’s smaller than your palm and it’s shorter than your fingers but it can save a two five hundred pages of books aside from songs, pictures, videos, and etc. This micro cheep is friendly user, affordable and it’s easy to carry. You can put it in your packet or hang it in your neck if you put a lace on it.

You know I bought one for me with out a doubt when I saw it in the market and it’s still working until now, in fact I have a lot of files and funny pictures on it. It’s really useful guys!

Hope for our dead love ones!!

My parents and my other relatives grieved when my grand mother died and buried last month. I saw a lot of tears falling from their eyes during the burial most especially my step grandfather. He almost drowned emotionally because of grieving and too much mourning.

I grieved too but I am happy and relieved to know about the Bible word of God tells about the hope of our dead love ones. We’re they and what are their hopes in the near future. The Bible tells us that God views the dead as just resting and sleeping. He said that he will wake and resurrect the dead in the future. “Do not marvel at this, because the hours are coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment (John 5:28,29). Jesus set a good assurance and example when he was resurrected by his beloved father Jehovah God. He was raised up from dead after resting or sleeping on his tomb for 3 days.

(1 Corinthians 15:20-22). What a refreshing promised right? Jesus resurrected some dead people when he was on earth to show that he can really resurrect the dead and fulfill his promised. It is recorded in John chapter 11:11-14 and 39-44 one account how Jesus perform miracle by raising his friend Lazaro from dead.

Reincarnation is different from what the Bible teaches and promised. The Bible doesn’t teach about reincarnation or the rebirth of ones soul in to another creature, like animals etc. or even human being.
