copied from a friend's note. hope all men could learn from this Jaeson Ma's writing. TTFN! c",)

WE NEED MEN OF GOD WHO WILL LOVE & RESPECT WOMEN OF FAITH...NEXT STOP "MANHOOD"

I spent the day with a group of men in our house church learning what it takes to be a man of God when it comes to loving and respecting women. In our day an age most men are not men, they are boys. Most guys still want to marry their mom, have a women
serve and take care of them, are not willing to take initiative or commit in a relationship, most men are still living in fear, not pursuing their callings for settling for “safe” because its easy. This is sad, upsetting and the standard must change.

week 23-30: my sis' big event

it's my sister's wedding! and i was her Maid of Honor (yaya for short). i was assisting her through out the preparation 'til her BIG day. it was tiring but i'm happy to had spent those times with her.

their wedding was indeed a joyous celebration. at the start of the reception program, the couple and the entourage had danced their way in and grooved to the music. my sister had also sang a song to surprise her hubby which in turn responded with a funky dance. there were colorful fireworks then to end the night.

Mindanao power crisis is ‘man-made’, not El Niño-caused

CEPALCO exec warns Napocor of class suit

By MARK FRANCISCO - Staff member, Gold Star Daily, March 30, 2010

THE National Power Corp. (Napocor) and the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Inc. (Psalm) could be held liable in court for the power crisis in Mindanao, a senior executive of the Cagayan Electric Power and Light Co. (Cepalco) has warned.

Cepalco senior vice president David Tauli said the basis of a class suit would be the alleged breach of contract between Napocor and consumers. He said the contract requires the power-generating firm to provide a supply of 1,363 mw.

He said this even as he reiterated that the power shortage in Mindanao is due to “man-made” factors, specifically due to neglect. As of last week, Napocor was only able to generate 936 mw.

Tauli enumerated the factors: the forced lowering of water surface elevation of Lake Lanao to an abnormal level in 2009 which also reduced the operating capacity of the Agus hydropower plants, the non-operation of the Iligan diesel-fired plants and the privatization of two power barges.

“Napocor started the steady reduction of Lake Lanao on Sept. 11, 2009 and the elevation reached a year-end level of 699.55 meters,” Tauli said. “The consequent need to reduce outflow from Lake Lanao has resulted in an average capacity of the Agus hydro plants (to) 300 mw compared with their declared dependable capacity of 588 mw (or) a reduction of 49 percent.”

He added: “It is man-made and the result of a series of actions (and inaction) over many years in the operation and maintenance of the Napocor power plants connected to the Mindanao grid.”

Tauli said Napocor and Psalm also conspired to reduce the generation load so as to minimize their expenses and pay off their huge debts.

He said consumers were asked to pay for the dredging of the Pulangi River.

‘‘It was their repsponsibility but there was no dredging,’’ he said.

Tauli said this even as he assured that the current crisis is not election-related.

Tauli also said it took some time before the Napocor informed the Department of Energy (DOE) of its action to lower the water surface elevation of Lake Lanao.

“Had they informed the DOE earlier, they would have been scolded. [The power crisis] is not due to El Niño, it is man-made,” he said.

Tauli said Napocor should implement measures to end the crisis before consumers think of bringing it to court.

The following are his proposals: full operation of the two Iligan diesel plants which has a combined capacity of around 100 mw, dredging of the forebay of the Pulangi 4 hydroelectric power plant in Bukidnon to raise its capacity from 85 mw to 255 mw, repair of some Agus plants including dredging of the Balo-i Plains to increase capacity of Agus 2 and transfer of generators from Luzon to Mindanao.

"Desiderata...Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others,even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a BEAUTIFUL WORLD. BE CHEERFUL. Strive to BE HAPPY."

detached...

been detached of blogging for months already...i guess, i just found some new interest that took my time, primarily facebooking nyahaha! but what's really taking my time now is the act of pondering and pondering...pondering on this BIG task...pondering if i could deliver? what if i couldn't? what if i fail? it really concerns me and i hate thinking about it..and because i hate it i tend to ignore doing things about it..but the more i ignore it, it worsens and i am only the one to suffer ngak!!!

it really just boils to making and weighing your own choices..and then after act accordingly..it's just that i choose what i already know is a wrong one..will i stop it then? hmmmm...let's see...it seems that i am not only having detachment with blogging then..TTFN! c",)
