I'm done with the Season 1 of gLee. And so far, it is a remarkable tv series base from america and currently air in their Season 2. gLee is an art club, it focuses on high school choir called " New Directions" from William Mckinley High School . It is a musical comedy tv series lead by Will Schuester(Teacher/choreographer), Sue Slyvester(rival of the club/coach of cheerers), Rachelle Berry(Main Female Singer) with Finn Hudson(Main Male Singer), and the other six members (Kurt Hummel, Mercedes Jones, Artie Abrams, Tina Cohen-Chang, Noah Puckerman, Quinn Fabray). It is like a High School Musical of Vanessa Hudgens and Zack Efron,but Im more fanatic of gLee. I really like the plot and the story itself. It's not just all about entertainment but also it shows the relationship between the teacher and the students. Also the fair share of their part regardless of their talents whether he or she is superior or not . More of moral lesson to be learn by the viewers. And now, I'm searching for the Season 2., So I guarantee all of you to watch this Tv series.. :D
Nearly five years after agricultural funds meant for fertilizer were allegedly misused, the Senate Blue Ribbon committee has come up with its findings. The committee headed by Sen. Richard Gordon recommended yesterday the filing of charges against former agriculture under-secretary Jocelyn “Jocjoc” Bolante, his purported runner Marites Aytona, alleged bagman Jaime Paule and six others for plunder, technical malversation, money laundering, tax evasion and perjury. A 10th individual, Joselito Flordeliza, who headed the foundation used in the alleged P728-million scam, may face prosecution for money laundering.
There are three things that must be done to ensure that the Blue Ribbon probe does not go to waste. The most immediate task is to prevent any of the individuals recommended for criminal prosecution from leaving the country. If there is no legal basis to prevent their departure, the government should at least keep track of their whereabouts. Under the United Nations Convention Against Corruption, signatory states are duty-bound to extradite individuals wanted for corruption.
The second task is to effectively prosecute and punish the guilty. This scandal has dragged on long enough. Gordon said his committee has enough evidence to build an airtight case against the people recommended for prosecution. There is no reason to delay their indictment.
The third task is to implement measures to prevent a repeat of the fertilizer scam or any other diversion of public funds to private war chests, especially with general elections approaching. The Blue Ribbon committee is seeking amendments to the Anti-Money Laundering Act, the Bank Secrecy Act and the Procurement Act as well as the Senate’s rules of procedure on direct contempt.
Amending those three laws can also help prevent a repeat of other anomalies such as the rigging of bids for infrastructure projects and the collection of fat commissions for brokering deals with the government. Congress can get to work immediately on those amendments for approval before lawmakers become too busy with their election campaigns. Even if government prosecutors drag their feet on this case, something positive should come out of this scandal.
Reaction:
Those laws are good if it will pursue by the government officials, if it really applies to the operation of the government taskforces especially with those groups who formulate the rules. But in my opinion, when riches man are evolve with that crimes, I don’t think it would be effective for them, because, as of now. Politicians are unfair, they don’t get things equally. For riches, all things can buy through money. And I guess they can be bought by money. Hoping if they really apply that kind of rules, then they should not choose the person who are involve in that crimes whether they are rich or none. If criminals really violate the rules then they have to do their job which is to send criminals into jail regardless with their life standard. Just like what happen to the Alabang boys, they, equipped from their offenses. Hoping it would be fair.
From military deputy chief for comptrollership to convict, the journey has been a long one for retired Maj. Gen. Carlos F. Garcia. The highest ranking military officer to be indicted for a criminal offense, Garcia nearly managed to retire in peace in 2004, with his colleagues in the Armed Forces of the Philippines seemingly reluctant to go after a two-star general on accusations of corruption. But the Ombudsman at the time, Simeon Marcelo, doggedly worked to pin down Garcia. In the end, Garcia was court-martialed and faced several criminal cases before the Sandiganbayan.
Yesterday, over five years after Garcia’s son was apprehended by US Customs authorities at the San Francisco airport for failure to declare $100,000 in cash, the disgraced general was convicted of perjury by the anti-graft court. Though the maximum sentence of two years was less than the time Garcia has already spent in detention, the conviction for failure to declare P7 million in his account with the AFP Savings and Loan Association Inc. could strengthen the bigger case against him for forfeiture of undeclared wealth.
Garcia was indicted over a year after junior military officers staged a curious mutiny in a posh Makati hotel to denounce, among other things, corruption in the AFP. Garcia’s court-martial was complemented by a major overhaul of the procurement process in the AFP and Department of National Defense. Under the reform program, red tape was cut and transparency in bidding and procurement promoted. The AFP and DND must not go back on those reforms and must in fact work to strengthen them.
In December 2005, a military court found Garcia guilty of undeclared wealth. He was dishonorably dismissed from the AFP and sentenced to two years of hard labor. The Sandiganbayan, for its part, must speed up its resolution of the other cases against Garcia. The two-star general found himself in trouble after his wife Clarita, coming to the defense of their son, explained in writing to US Customs authorities that the $100,000 came from her husband’s miscellaneous earnings as a comptroller. This is one of the rare cases where efficient prosecution has led to the conviction of a big fish. With more cases like this one, crooks in government may finally realize that in this country, not everyone can get away with crime.
REACTION:
Mostly all politicians were involved in crime such as corruption. Nowadays, crisis is rising because; politicians corrupt the taxes that have to be used for the development of the country. Higher ranks in politics got higher bunches of money, Power leads them in corrupting, because no one can appoint them because of fear. Just like, what Gen. Garcia done. He was guilty from corruption, also his son who had but submitted $100,000. It is so painful to see that Filipinos are paying their taxes, but politicians are only corrupting it. Politicians got rich, but the poor get poorer. If those cases still happen years from now then, Filipinos have no chance to feel lighten up from the burden in paying taxes.
Filipino consider the February as the LOVE MONTH!.. maybe because of its occasion during February 14. There are theories, that this month is the right time to search for partner with the help of " Mr/Ms. KUPIDO". Does Mr. Kupido exist? hehe
In only a few places in the world will you see members of the International Committee of the Red Cross attacked by lawless elements. Now it will be on record that one of those places is Sulu, where three ICRC members were kidnapped last Thursday as they were working on a project to improve facilities at the provincial jail in Patikul.
On Friday fears were raised that the victims — Jean Lacaba of the Philippines, Andreas Notter of Switzerland and Eugenio Vagni of Italy — had been turned over to the Abu Sayyaf. The three had gone to Patikul in a vehicle painted with a large, clear symbol of the Red Cross. In most countries, combatants on both sides, rebels and even terrorists do not touch Red Cross workers, who are known for purely humanitarian work. The ICRC has maintained a record of neutrality in a conflict, bringing aid and relief to all, including — as its work in Sulu shows — detained crime suspects.
But in the province of Sulu, kidnapping has been a cottage industry for years. The province is notorious for the most profitable kidnapping caper of the Abu Sayyaf, wherein the late Ghalib Andang, a.k.a. Commander Robot, and his men earned at least $30 million in ransom for mostly foreign hostages taken from the Malaysian island resort of Sipadan. Andang was eventually arrested and killed in a prison riot, but the massive profits from his kidnapping operations are still remembered in Sulu.
There must be a relentless effort to rescue the three Red Cross workers and hunt down their kidnappers. When this case is resolved with the safe release of the three hostages, the government must send a strong message to the lawless in Sulu and the other bandit-infested enclaves of Mindanao that the kidnapping industry has ceased to be profitable.
Reaction:
Terrorist are afraid to visit Mindanao because of the kidnapping happen in SULU. To think that the Mindanao is not safe because of the Abusayaf taking advantage from the foreigners. They kidnap innocent groups that are not evolve in their conflicts. Even the Red Cross members were kidnap, knowing that they are just helping innocent people who are not engaged in the combat between the abusayaf and government forces. The Red Cross only assists and serves the people who are unfortunate in taking care of their selves, so they don’t have to touch any workers of this organization. But in this time, Red Cross employees were in unpleasant situation, Because of this kidnapping. It is growing and at the same time gives disgrace to our country. Abusayaf gained more profit from the ransom given by the relatives of the victim. This scenario last long for a years because the higher personnel don’t take any moves to lessen or vanish this crime.
This editorial was taken from philstar, and I have my own opinion regarding with this editorial.
The full impact of the global economic slowdown is expected to be felt this year, according to economic analysts. And while conservative banking policies have spared the Philippines from the worst of the crisis, the country is also starting to feel its impact, with exports falling and overseas workers being sent home.
Even before the credit crunch blew up in the face of Americans, affecting the rest of the world, the Philippines was already suffering from weakening investments. The global crisis aggravated the trend. In the first 10 months of 2008, foreign direct investments plunged 47 percent compared to the same period in 2007, reaching only $1.418 billion, according to data from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. Some quarters observed that having a low level of FDI to begin with helped shield the country from the worst of the crisis. But this should not be used as an excuse to neglect structural reforms that are needed to lure more job-generating long-term investments.
Though the country registered its highest economic growth in three decades in 2007, the government has admitted that benefits of the growth have been slow in trickling down to the poor. The country also lags way behind its Southeast Asian neighbors in attracting foreign visitors and FDI. Remittances of about eight million Filipinos working overseas account for a hefty chunk of economic growth figures. Those jobs are now imperiled by the global slowdown.
As nations race to recover from the slump, the best performers will be those that implement the necessary reforms. In the case of the Philippines, whose competitiveness has been on an unending slide, the needed reforms have long been known. The latest Index of Economic Freedom, prepared by the Washington-based think-tank Heritage Foundation together with The Wall Street Journal, reminds the nation of some of those needed reforms.
The index, which ranked the Philippines 104th among 183 countries in terms of economic freedom, gave the country the lowest score in freedom from corruption. The index noted the weakness of the judicial system and its vulnerability to political influence. It noted the difficulty of enforcing contracts and protecting intellectual property rights, and said the Philippine government imposed both formal and non-formal barriers to foreign investments.
Many of those observations are worth heeding if the nation wants to be poised for economic takeoff once the world recovers from the downturn. We can’t be middling forever in these international rankings, lagging way behind Asia’s most successful economies such as Hong Kong and Singapore, which were rated first and second, respectively, in the index.
Reaction:
As I saw and hear about this news regarding of the Global economic slowdown, I can say that, it affects a lot in all countries. As all we know, US is one of the riches country in this world, And if that country suffer crisis, for sure all countries affected. As of now, Philippines is suffering from this crisis. Lots of Overseas Filipino Workers were sent back in the Philippines because of losing job around the globe and failing investments from the higher and bigger business. Investments are going slower because of this crisis. As the surveys concerned, Philippines ranked at 104th among 183 countries in terms of economic freedom and gave the lowest score in freedom from corruption and because of that it leads to difficulty of implementing contracts and protecting property rights from the formal and non formal foreign investments.
Did your parents taught you how to be humble? Or did you encountered that word since you was burn until now that you are alive?
How about the word respect? Respecting other people is one of the important virtues that you have to apply in yourself. Do you know that respecting others help you to gain respect from public? It takes two to tango.. Or you don't value respect to yourself? That’s why most of the people are not in good terms. Because others loves to ruin people’s life just to be happy or contented Or it is just a trip to have someone or something to topic with? Don’t you know that every hurt you’ve impart to others will give you double or multiple consequence as a return, an awful things might happen that you cant run out of it and, you don’t have a choice but to kill yourself, just to be free from the outcome of what you did.
What I am saying is true or not?
There are also instances that you can’t notice, what you are experiencing is already the consequence that God gave you. In order for you to realized and fixed what you had started. God is mercyful and He forgives those who committed sins. He forgets those things especially when you are admitting it and said sorry for it.
So, reflect to yourself now. We are not perfect, we commit sins and we say sorry otherwise face what God gives you on the later part.
Even I had mistakes and I am sorry for the things I done and praying that those I'd hurt will forgive me. And may God forgive me.
Yes. It is an important factor having that professional ethics because through that it leads you in having a high-quality organization. Members of your organization may give their full trust and loyalty if the superior have that kind of value. And keep the promises that the organization or company has been imposed to the members or client.Yes, it have something to do with ethical decision – making. In making a decision to build an organization, the leaders must consider several things. The leaders must look forward for the convenience of each member or the clients. The leaders must see to it that everything will be alright and supply efficient facilities.In this institute, leaders are has no concern regarding about the accommodation of their faculty. Leaders must provide good facility that their faculty may feel comfortable and stable. Also, the words that they promise is different from what the faculty expected from them, this institute is more of promises but different in actions.It is so important to have that professional ethics; it is about you are dealing with other people and selling your own stocks. It is about building your trust on them and finds things that make them believe.
Professionals must have deep relationship with their co – workers or to their clients. They must obtain good relationship between each other and not letting your client feel annoyed. Preaching, it is you are a giving a talk to your audience or to someone. Way of expressing your idea or opinion to let others understand you. The practice is about repeating something to have a better outcome.
Water World was a nice place even though we heard some negative, weird and scary gossips about the location. Still we pursued to go outing in the said place, since we celebrate the birthday of our friend.
We went there at exactly 12 noon. But unfortunately only the three of us arrived at the said place because some members have their personal excuses. Despite of the time we consume waiting for them still, we want things to happen and be celebrated simultaneously so, the first three of us went first to Water World.
While the time is running and the afternoon came, some of my friends at last arrived, and so we had fun taking pictures, swimming, playing cards, chatting, eating and drinking alcoholic Beverage. There is scenario that the bad sides of me occur in the middle celebration, so everything gets mad of me because I totally ruin the party. Sooo bad!..
I’m so sorry for what I’ve done.And promise to make it better, next time.
Right now, Im in love and I admit, I act stupid when it comes to me and my boyfriend. I easily get angry to those who are flirting to my boyfriend, to the point that I get scream and do such crazy things. Like, I confront the girl or even dispute the girl. I am nasty, so be aware!..
From what I’ve heard and saw from others. People acted stupid when it comes to their love ones. Sometimes, they forget their prides just to please their love ones. They became brainless and have more patients even though they were hurt. They did it just to satisfy their love ones. And I hated that thing.. But still I done it and continue doing it. Why is that? Is it because, they cant afford to lose their love ones? Is it because of the love or is it because of the memories they’ve spent together? HooooH!.. How powerful LOVE is.
#21 The Master said “even when walking in a party of no more then three. I can always be certain of learning from those I am with. There will be good qualities that I can select for imitation and bad ones that will teach men what requires correction in myself.” • From this Analects of Confucius, for me it varies about the values of a person. In everything we do, there is learning that we earn after what we have done. There are choices that make your personality change. And for that, we must identify what are the bad habits and the good habit. Do good traits and if do bad things, we correct ourselves in our own way.
#16 The Master said “Learn as if you are following someone with whom you cannot catch up, as though it were someone you were frightened of losing.” • We should value on the things that we have learn because in time, it helps us to mold our personality. By not letting others take it away from you. You want someone that you cant afford to lose. You are Aiming for something. It is just like, you are dreaming of someone that you think it will never come into your life, but when you are dreaming about him/her, you don’t want to wake up because you love what you are dreaming for.
#24 The Master said “First and Foremost, be faithful to your superiors, keep all promises. Refuse the friendship of all who are not like you and if you made a mistake, do not be afraid of admitting the fact and amending your ways.” • Thus is about accepting on what you did, proclaiming on what you have done wrong, and make apology. Have you dignity and pride to follow on what you have sworn to someone. Be faithful to those who has greater stage, because they know what’s best on us. It is just like in our parents, “Parents knows best”.
A song for everyone. Don't be A traitor to your friends!. Ashamed On you!. I will not do it again, damn me!..

How happy life is, when you see your crushes roaming around the campus or seeing him/her in your place?
As I remember during my childhood days, I get easily attracted when I saw cute guys. Sometimes, when I caught my crush looking at me, I can’t help myself screaming, got panic when he is near me, quiver and the beat of my heart palpitates faster. Well, I guess even this stage of my life, I still feel the same way, but sorry guys. I’m Already taken.. :)
Anyways,
What we usually feel, when we see our crushes? How can we determine, if that feeling is infatuation, admiration, puppy love or you are in love?
According in my research here’s the usual feeling when we see special person in our life;
About crushes or infatuation
Uncertainties, overpowering lust, panic, excitement, impatience or jealousy are some of the symptoms of infatuation. Surprisingly some of the feelings during infatuation are the same when you are in love. It might be towards the girl next door, your classmate, best friend, your senior, friend's brother or sister, a teacher, a celebrity, or sister or brothers friends. However at the same time he/she may not be happy with the lingering suspicions and nagging doubts. Some teenagers in infatuation might make their partners uncomfortable by calling them on the phone, doing some funny or nasty tricks to get the attention. On the other hand, the shy lovers may just peep through the window to get a glance or may act like a secret Santa who unnoticeably keeps helping when the partner is in trouble. The recent psychological research depicts that most of these infatuations are bound by sexual intimacy and it ends after a sexual encounter.
About True Love
Love is an agreement written by lovers on non-degradable objects and states that they will be together forever. There will not have any space for jealousy as they move on together. People in love; whisper their most treasured secrets to each other. True lovers mature in age and experience love as a dynamic process that changes or grows simultaneously. They enjoy each other's company, and depend on each other in the deepest crisis over the years. The dreams are built on the same platform and met in the same destination. It brings out the best of an individual thus helping the relationship to flourish to greater heights.
Admiration
Admiration is one of the easiest needs to meet. Just a word of appreciation, and presto, you've made someone's day. On the other hand, it's also easy to be critical. A trivial word of rebuke can set some people on their heels, ruining their day and withdrawing love units at an alarming rate.
Do you agree in my research? Are you in love today? or just a puppy love? Or presently you feel infatuation but sooner you will discover, it is just an admiration.. Determine your feelings now.. :)
In what way do people act when they are guilty? How about when they are caught in the act? Can you identify their actions? What if they feel mad? Is it similar reactions when you feel shame? What would be their common actions? Enumerate it.
In my opinion: 1.He/She will snub you when you see each other. 2.He/She will stay away from you. 3.He/She will try to avoid you when both of you are in the same company. 4.He/She will not feel comfortable when you are together.
1. People can feel ashamed, unworthy, or embarrassed about actions for which they are responsible. Feeling guilty for events which are out of our control is often unproductive and detrimental. 2. Guilt, because it emphasizes what someone did wrong, tends to elicit more constructive responses, particularly responses which seek to mend the damage done. 3. Guilt is tied to beliefs about what is right and wrong, moral and immoral. When we violate one of these moral guidelines, it causes us to feel guilty over our actions and seek to fix what we have done (see cognitive dissonance). 4. As a result, guilt is an important tool in maintaining standards of right and wrong in individuals and society as a whole. As such, guilt can often be used as a tool to overcome conflict.
