Kindness

At times when you are in trouble, you indeed see who are your true friends and family. If only people would know how big it will be for someone to lend a hand to a needy one. Yes we may not feel obligated but blessings are shared to people who may truly in need of something. It’s the time to share the blessings we have, the kindness we can give and God’s love.

Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness.
- Seneca

The traditional "Salubong"

Salubong is an Easter Sunday pre-dawn ritual that reenacts the Risen Christ's meeting with His mother. It is performed in the churchyard under a specially prepared arch where the veiled image of the Virgin Mary has been placed. A child dressed as an angel is lowered by ropes from a high platform to lift the mourning veil of the grieving Mother. The church bells are rung, and there is a procession of the images of Christ and his mother that ends up inside the church.

The participants in the procession are segregated by gender. The men and boys follow the image of Jesus Christ, while women and girls follow the image of Mary. The procession ends with the two groups meeting in the church, where Mass is said.

About US credit reports

In the U.S., there are three different credit reporting bureaus. It’s important to order a copy of your credit report at least once a year from all three bureaus to ensure that everything is up to date and that your credit report doesn’t contain any errors. Additionally, if you have been denied credit, you’re entitled to receive a free copy of your credit report.

However, once you receive your credit reports, they can seem as though they’re written in a foreign language. Fortunately, there are many resources to help. There are numerous websites that tell you how to read reports, and if you’re working with a credit counseling agency, they can also help you. If you obtain your credit report online, there is often a ‘sample’ credit report that shows how the report is designed.

Pabasa ng Pasyon, a traditional religious practice

The pasyon is a verse narrative about the life and suffering of Jesus Christ. The verses are structured in five-line stanzas, with each line containing eight syllables. The pasyon is commonly sung during Holy Week, starting Holy Monday. The reading of the pasyon is a traditional religious practice in the Philippines and people gather around the reader of the pasyon to listen and reflect. It is seen by many of its practitioners as a vow or panata.

The first version of the Tagalog pasyon was written by Gaspar Aquino de Belen in 1704. It was entitled Mahal na Passion ni Jesu Christong Panginoon Natin na Tola (The poem of the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ). Belen's pasyon went through at least four revisions, with the fifth edition printed in 1760.

The tradition of chanting the pasyon is not rooted to the Spanish language that the songs were originally written in. but is connected to the singing of epics during cultural celebrations among indigenous Filipinos. The pasyon is usually chanted a capella though occasionally the chanters may be accompanied by guitars or a rondalla band.

Visita Iglesia on Maundy Thursday

In the Philippines, Maundy Thursday is the time for what we called “Visita Iglesia” where devotees visit different churches. You also see people that instead of commuting or bringing their vehicles, they used to walk on the way to different churches as a way of sacrifice. Also, business establishments cease operations from Holy Thursday to Black Saturday. Most malls, however, only cease their operations on Holy Thursday and Good Friday and only open on Black Saturday. Terrestrial television and radio stations either go completely off-air during that period or operate limited hours where they broadcast special shows, usually themed for the Holy Week, which is not on their usual schedule. (Cable channels usually continue their normal telecasts as usual.) Newspapers usually have no issues during those days.

WIKIPEDIA:  Maundy Thursday, also known as Holy Thursday, Covenant Thursday, Great & Holy Thursday, and Thursday of Mysteries, is the Christian feast or holy day falling on the Thursday before Easter that commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the Apostles as described in the Canonical gospels. It is the fifth day of Holy Week, and is preceded by Holy Wednesday and followed by Good Friday.

AJ Perez killed in Tarlac highway accident

We were at Splash Island when my niece Abby told me that a certain AJ Perez who’s an ABS-CBN artist died according to a text from her friend. It was on the following day, Monday, which I got to know the accident according to news from his network. I am shocked! Such a young boy from the teleserye “Sabel” lost his life from a tragic car accident.

AJ’s mother just watched “Bottomline” of Boy Abunda on a Saturday night where Fatima Soriano as guest. Fatima’s story was still fresh on her memory and decided to donate her son’s cornea to Fatima. All is just waiting for Fatima’s doctor advice before they proceed with the transplant.

I know how deep the pain is that all of a sudden a loved one of yours will no more around in an instant. That’s how my father left us just last June 2010. After a massive stroke in the morning of June 7, he left us in 2 am of June 10. To AJ’s family, my condolences and may you find the courage and strength with all the people around you and the people who love AJ.

Banco Filipino depositor allegedly commits suicide

Why it always happened that bank customers are being caught unaware of what’s happening on their depository banks? In the case of Banco Filipino, what precautionary measures undertaken by BSP to prevent such closure for the second time? How do they monitor all these banks who are handling people’s money especially its financial status?

Earlier reports said that Carmino Mangubat Jr. allegedly committed suicide. He had around 200,000 pesos cash deposit with Banco Filipino and blaming the recent closure of the bank according to his supposed suicide note.

How many Mangubat need to kill himself for being so helpless? How many ordinary people who tried to save money for a better life ended up killing themselves? How many soulless banks can do such a thing? What the BSP can do to prevent such happening?

Yes, PDIC will answer those depositors up to the limit of 500,000 pesos per account. But is that so? PDIC’s money is Filipino people’s money. After years of receiving people’s deposits, making wrong decisions and enriching themselves with high salaries of bank executives, the poor depositors need to wait to bring back their money the long and hard way. That’s not fair!!!

There must be no bank secrecy law that will hinder BSP in monitoring religiously and fairly all banks’ performances periodically. I think that’s one good way to protect depositors’ investments.

BF-GF commercial of McDonalds

I’ve seen the report about this 30-seconder “BF-GF commercial” of McDonalds but not the commercial itself. So I searched the YouTube to find it and had it posted for you. I agree with the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines or CBCP on their resistance on the said ad. It may look cute but indeed shallow, cheapens human relationships and teaches nothing good among kids. Glad that McDonalds acknowledged and respected the position of CBCP and pulled-out the ad immediately.

It’s still good to know that despite differences people learned to listen and acknowledge mistake. It is high time that we mold kids today with good values with the best way we can because they are the future of our country.

Korean drama "My Princess" @ ABS-CBN

I loved to watch ABS-CBN’s afternoon show’s Korean drama “My Princess.” Like many around the world, it entertains me to watch shows about royalty. Actually I watched “Princess Hours” too at the said network and able to love the characters.

“My Princess” tells the story of Lizelle played by Korea’s very own Kim Tae Hee. She is just an ordinary student who makes a living out of dressing up like a princess. Since she was a child, she has always dreamt of being with her father but her world fell apart upon learning that he had already died. Eventually, Lizelle discovers that she has royal blood. She meets Ethan, played by Asia’s premiere actor Song Seung Hun, who is a rich diplomat and is against the restoration of the monarchy. Because of the clashing interests of their families, they start having petty quarrels and disagreements. But unexpectedly, they fall in love with each other.

The romantic love story "My Princess" started airing on March 28 right before "Mula Sa Puso."

Nineteen year-old JOHN GABRIEL PELIAS, graduating summa cum laude with a degree in Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, broke the record of a professor emeritus in political science in UP after 65 years by garnering a weighted average of 1.016.

“Willing Willie” game show of TV5 and hosted by Willie Revillame will go off air for two weeks beginning today, April 11, while investigation is ongoing on the said controversial March 12 episode. He also expressed disappointments to big companies who pulled out their advertisements like P&G and Mang Inasal among others.

Gold IRA & gold 401k accounts plus free Gold Guide

I am just wondering that if despite the global economic crisis that happened several years ago and still raging, given the situation in Libya, continuous increase in petroleum products, problems in sustaining a business and low bank interest rate, is there any alternative and good investment for those who still have money and want to place it in something profitable given the scenarios, short term or long term?

I encountered this website of goldcoinsgain.com and I got interested reading facts about it. At first I thought it is a site for collectors but as I spent time reading the page, it sounds more of a real and good investment. I saw a table for gold IRA (Individual Retirement Account) that with investment of $25,000 in year 2000, the value of such in 2009 became $103,457. I wonder how such IRA gold can make that much despite so many crises that had happened. The answer according to the website: Gold IRA accounts benefits from negative economic, political, environmental, or monetary conditions contribute to a rising gold price.

There’s another investment called gold 401k. Both IRA and 401k gold are individual account so investors can customize their deposits, withdrawals and payment of taxes on distributions. They can even plan ahead on what to happen on their gold IRA or 401k gold rollover after their deaths. Likewise, gold IRA transfer is also possible such as you can transfer it to a loved one.

I am still continue my reading because this kind of “crisis commodity” as they said is really indeed sounds a good investment to me, considering the table I saw from the top. From those interested, they offer free gold guide for you reference.
