His first plan was to sell his chicken recipe to restaurant owners, who would in turn give him a residual for every piece of chicken they sold--5 cents per chicken. The first restaurateur he called on turned him down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So did the second.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So did the third.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, the first 1008 sales calls Colonel Sanders made ended in rejection. Still, he continued to call on owners as he traveled across the USA, sleeping in his car to save money. Prospect number 1009 gave him his first "yes."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After two years of making daily sales he had signed up a total of five restaurants. Still the Colonel pressed on, knowing that he had a great chicken recipe and that someday the idea would catch on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, you know how the story ends. The idea DID catch on. By 1963 the Colonel had 600 restaurants across the country selling his secret recipe of Kentucky Fried Chicken (with 11 herbs and spices).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1964 he was bought out by future Kentucky governor John Brown. Even though the sale made him a multi-millionaire, he continued to represent and promote KFC until his death in 1990.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Colonel Sanders' story teaches an important lesson: its never too late to decide to never give up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier in his life the Colonel was involved in other business ventures--but they weren't successful. He had a gas station in the 30's, a restaurant in the 40's, and he gave up on both of them. At the age of 65, however, Harland Sanders decided his chicken idea was the right idea, and he refused to give up, even in spite of repeated rejection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He knew that if he kept on knocking on doors, eventually someone would say "yes." This is how Jesus has commanded to approach life. He said, "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." (Luke 11:9) This verse follows a story Jesus told emphasizing the importance of a "never-give-up" attitude in prayer. Jesus is saying, "Ask--not just once, but as many times as is necessary. Keep on knocking till the door is opened." If you have made half-hearted attempts at doing God's will in your life...if you have given up too easily in the past...remember: It's never too late to become persistent. It's never too late to decide to never give up. Keep on knocking. Keep on asking. Keep on seeking.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2632202721667322757-7955298297336805835?l=benchiegrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/feeds/7955298297336805835/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2632202721667322757&amp;postID=7955298297336805835' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/7955298297336805835'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/7955298297336805835'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/2009/09/keep-on-knocking-keep-on-asking-keep-on.html' title='Keep on Knocking, Keep on Asking, Keep on Seeking'/><author><name>grace</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09442147900297436806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34nTHaaniSA/SnqF66rFQtI/AAAAAAAAApU/3U8AdHZBNiM/S220/DSC02037.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632202721667322757.post-3815995983388041743</id><published>2009-09-13T06:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-18T06:39:15.978-07:00</updated><title type='text'>THINK</title><content type='html'>Think of how good the LORD is in your life, HE has given you a HEART that never stops beating 60cc of blood / beat @75 times/minute.&lt;br /&gt;Think of how powerful HE is, that HE  gave us BRAIN that has the capacity to reason, think, create and feel like no other being.&lt;br /&gt;Think of how great HE is that HE gave you LUNGS that never stops taking in oxygen and releasing out carbon dioxide 16 times/minute.&lt;br /&gt;Think of how awesome HE is that HE gave you LIVER that detoxifies toxins you ingest every single moment.&lt;br /&gt;Think of how marvelous HE is that HE gave you KIDNEYS that washes out impurities in your blood...and&lt;br /&gt;Think of how good GOD is that HE has given you LIFE to its fullest in union with HIS Son...&lt;br /&gt;So, ARISE and REJOICE...for there is more to life than sufferings! =)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2632202721667322757-3815995983388041743?l=benchiegrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/feeds/3815995983388041743/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2632202721667322757&amp;postID=3815995983388041743' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/3815995983388041743'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/3815995983388041743'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/2009/09/think.html' title='THINK'/><author><name>grace</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09442147900297436806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34nTHaaniSA/SnqF66rFQtI/AAAAAAAAApU/3U8AdHZBNiM/S220/DSC02037.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632202721667322757.post-1340224268798048638</id><published>2009-09-10T06:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-18T06:33:05.107-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I am destined to be alone and miserable.</title><content type='html'>To stare idly at nothingness; to fantasize about the impossible; to wish for things that can never be achieved; to hope for a love that can never be given.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To sit like a statue in the midst of darkness; to cry and yet not shed a single tear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be devoid of emotion; or at least be adept at hiding pain and frustration; to always seem to move on and yet in truth dwell in the past; to forgive but never forget.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be ruled by fear rejection and yet foolishly try and try again to establish a connection; to fail at it; to try again, and again, and again, and again; and to disappoint myself each time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To want to love and be loved in return, and find only emptiness and loneliness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To have people think I’m crazy; and yet know that they just don’t understand; to suffer the indignation of having to notice every bit of ignorance, stupidity, and narrow-mindedness the world possesses and hate it; all the while grappling with the reality that I’m not so perfect myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be fated to be loved only misery, melancholy, melodrama, and self-pity; to love a person who does not seem to exist; to put all my hopes, dreams, ambitions and aspirations on a person who’s probably going to let me down someday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To bare out my soul this way because there isn’t any other means by which I can express myself; to fill dozens of notebooks with unspoken thoughts; and to read them again and again from time to time just to remind myself how pathetic I am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be a dreamer and a realist at the same time; to ask myself questions I know the answers to; to speak to myself for lack of another person to talk to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To devour romantic movies and relish each kiss, each dance, each song, each and every single piece of dialogue as if it were my own; and to know the whole time that such things will never happen in my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To believe in forever and everlasting love, and yet be given the complete opposite every time I do fall in love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To tell anyone who bothers to listen that I see myself married to her; and then lose her; to say it again about another person; and lose her the same way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To fail at almost everything I try to do; to be ridiculed at every decision I make; to have people I know make stupid jokes and hurtful comments behind my back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To always be second best or less; to watch my dreams fade away into nothing; to always have to suck it all up and say “Shit happens.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To realize that all of this is my fault; that I make myself miserable; that I choose to wallow in self-pity and melodrama;

Eventually, he'll run off with some nurse from his office, or one of his young women patients that is pretending to be sick. He'll wait until you are stuck with a few kids to do this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is not a problem with your Engineer husband.&lt;br /&gt;He had a hard enough time meeting you. It is unlikely he'll ever meet another woman in his profession.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SALESMAN&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See honesty segment under Lawyer.

Don't be surprised when you get the invitation to show Up on the Ricki Lake show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The company that your Engineer husband works will keep him in a cage, often called a cubicle, until he is ready to go home to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TEACHER&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only reason he entered this profession is so that he could be surrounded by newly post-pubescent girls who idolize him.

This hazard actually has some benefits. For one, he will not notice that you are getting older, since you will be a blur. He will remember you as when he first met you, because the memory will still be sharp. And If you think he is looking at another woman, and you ask "Honey, were you looking at her?", he'll honestly be able to say that he didn't even see her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TOP TEN REASONS TO DATE AN ENGINEER&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10.

We know how to handle stress and strain in a relationship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. We have significant figures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. We have taken a course on the motion of rigid bodies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Projectile motion... need we say more?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Engineers do it according to specification.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. According to Newton, if two bodies interact, their forces are equal and opposite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. We know it's not the length of the vector that counts, but how you apply the force.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.

And the real news seems to be that the more you drink, the better.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;Reducing Disease Risk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;After analyzing data on 126,000 people for as long as 18 years, Harvard researchers calculate that compared with not partaking in America's favorite morning drink, downing one to three cups of caffeinated coffee daily can reduce diabetes risk by single digits. But having six cups or more each day slashed men's risk by 54% and women's by 30% over java avoiders.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;Though the scientists give the customary "more research is needed" before they recommend you do overtime at Starbuck's to specifically prevent diabetes, their findings are very similar to those in a less-publicized Dutch study. And perhaps more importantly, it's the latest of hundreds of studies suggesting that coffee may be something of a health food -- especially in higher amounts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;In recent decades, some 19,000 studies have been done examining coffee's impact on health. And for the most part, their results are as pleasing as a gulp of freshly brewed Breakfast Blend for the 108 million Americans who routinely enjoy this traditionally morning -- and increasingly daylong -- ritual. In practical terms, regular coffee drinkers include the majority of U.S. adults and a growing number of children.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;"Overall, the research shows that coffee is far more healthful than it is harmful," says Tomas DePaulis, PhD, research scientist at Vanderbilt University's Institute for Coffee Studies, which conducts its own medical research and tracks coffee studies from around the world. "For most people, very little bad comes from drinking it, but a lot of good."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;Consider this: At least six studies indicate that people who drink coffee on a regular basis are up to 80% less likely to develop Parkinson's, with three showing the more they drink, the lower the risk. Other research shows that compared to not drinking coffee, at least two cups daily can translate to a 25% reduced risk of colon cancer, an 80% drop in liver cirrhosis risk, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;and nearly half the risk of gallstones.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;Coffee even offsets some of the damage caused by other vices, some research indicates. "People who smoke and are heavy drinkers have less heart disease and liver damage when they regularly consume large amounts of coffee compared to those who don't," says DePaulis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;There's also some evidence that coffee may help manage asthma and even control attacks when medication is unavailable, stop a headache, boost mood, and even prevent cavities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;Is it the caffeine? The oodles of antioxidants in coffee beans, some of which become especially potent during the roasting process? Even other mysterious properties that warrant this intensive study?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;Actually, yes.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;Some of coffee's reported benefits are a direct result of its higher caffeine content: An eight ounce cup of drip-brewed coffee contains about 85 mg -- about three and a half times more than the same serving of tea or cola or one ounce of chocolate.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;"The evidence is very strong that regular coffee consumption reduces risk of Parkinson's disease and for that, it's directly related to caffeine," DePaulis tells WebMD. "In fact, Parkinson's drugs are now being developed that contain a derivative of caffeine based on this evidence."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;Caffeine is also what helps in treating asthma and headaches. Though not widely publicized, a single dose of pain reliever such as Anacin or Excedrin contains up to 120 milligrams -- what's in a hefty mug o' Joe.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;Boost to Athleticism&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;It's also caffeine -- and not coffee, per se -- that makes java a powerful aid in enhancing athletic endurance and performance, says physiologist and longtime coffee res&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;earcher Terry Graham, PhD, of the University of Guelph in Canada. So powerful, in fact, that until recently, caffeine in coffee or other forms was deemed a "controlled" substance by the Olympic Games Committee, meaning that it could be consumed only in small, designated amounts by competing athletes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;"What caffeine likely does is stimulate the brain and nervous system to do things differently," he tells WebMD. "That may include signaling you to ignore fatigue or recruit extra units of muscle for intense athletic performance. Caffeine may even have a direct effect on muscles themselves, causing them to produce a stronger contraction. But what's amazing about it is that unlike some performance-enhancing manipulation some athletes do that are specific for strength or sprinting or endurance, studies show that caffeine positively enhances all of these things."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;How does this brew affect growing minds and bodies? Very nicely, it seems, says DePaulis. Coffee, as you probably know, makes you more alert, which can boost concentration. But claims that it improves a child's academic performance can be exaggerated. Coffee-drinking kids may do better on school tests because they're more awake, but most task-to-task lab studies suggest that coffee doesn't really improve mental performance, says DePaulis.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;But it helps kids' minds in another way. "There recently was a study from Brazil finding that children who drink coffee with milk each day are less likely to have depression than other children," he tells WebMD. "In fact, no studies show that coffee in reasonable amounts is in any way harmful to children."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;On the flip side, it's clear that coffee isn't for everyone. Its legendary &lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;jolt in excess doses -- that is, more than whatever your individual body can tolerate -- can increase nervousness, hand trembling, and cause rapid heartbeat. Coffee may also raise cholesterol levels in some people and may contribute to artery clogging. But most recent large studies show no significant adverse effects on most healthy people, although pregnant women, heart patients, and those at risk for osteoporosis may still be advised to limit or avoid coffee.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;The bottom line:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;"People who already drink a lot of coffee don't have to feel 'guilty' as long as coffee does not affect their daily life," says Hu. "They may actually benefit from coffee habits in the long run."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In other words, consume enough caffeine -- whether it's from coffee or another source -- and you will likely run faster, last longer and be stronger. What's enough? As little as one cup can offer some benefit, but the real impact comes from at least two mugs, says Graham. By comparison, it'd take at least eight glasses of cola to get the same effect, which isn't exactly conducive for running a marathon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;But the harder you exercise, the more benefit you may get from coffee. "Unfortunately, where you see the enhancing effects from caffeine is in hard-working athletes, who are able to work longer and somewhat harder," says Graham, who has studied the effects of caffeine and coffee for nearly two decades. "If you a recreational athlete who is working out to reduce weight or just feel better, you're not pushing yourself hard enough to get an athletic benefit from coffee or other caffeinated products."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;But you can get other benefits from coffee that have nothing to do with caffeine. "Coffee is loaded with antioxidants, including a group of compounds called quinines that when administered to lab rats, increases their insulin sensitivity" he tells WebMD. This increased sensitivity &lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;improves the body's response to insulin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;That may explain why in that new Harvard study, those drinking decaf coffee but not tea beverages also showed a reduced diabetes risk, though it was half as much as those drinking caffeinated coffee.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;"We don't know exactly why coffee is beneficial for diabetes," lead researcher Frank Hu, MD, tells WebMD. "It is possible that both caffeine and other compounds play important roles. Coffee has large amounts of antioxidants such as chlorogenic acid and tocopherols, and minerals such as magnesium. All these components have been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;Meanwhile, Italian researchers credit another compound called trigonelline, which gives coffee its aroma and bitter taste, for having both antibacterial and anti-adhesive properties to help prevent dental cavities from forming. There are other theories for other conditions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2632202721667322757-614634668934534735?l=benchiegrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/feeds/614634668934534735/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2632202721667322757&amp;postID=614634668934534735' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/614634668934534735'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/614634668934534735'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/2009/09/love-for-coffee.html' title='Love for Coffee'/><author><name>grace</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09442147900297436806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34nTHaaniSA/SnqF66rFQtI/AAAAAAAAApU/3U8AdHZBNiM/S220/DSC02037.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632202721667322757.post-7152792314121784294</id><published>2009-09-05T20:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-06T20:58:14.662-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Filipino wedding tradition</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Filipinos still adhere to numerous widely-held folk beliefs that have no scientific or logical basis but maybe backed-up by some past experiences (yet can be dismissed as mere coincidence). Below are just a few that concerns weddings. Some are still practiced to this day primarily because of 'there's nothing to lose if we comply' attitude while the others are totally ignored for it seemed downright ridiculous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Brides shouldn't try on her wedding dress before the wedding day or the wedding will not push through. Knives and other sharp and pointed objects are said to be a bad choice for wedding gifts for this will lead to a broken marriage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Giving arinola (chamberpot) as wedding gift is believed to bring good luck to newlyweds. Altar-bound couples are accident-prone and therefore must avoid long drives or traveling before their wedding day for safety.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The groom who sits ahead of his bride during the wedding ceremony will be a henpecked husband. If it rains during the wedding, it means prosperity and happiness for the newlyweds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;- A flame extinguished on one of the wedding candles means the one on which side has the unlit candle, will die ahead of the other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Throwing rice confetti at the newlyweds will  bring them prosperity all their life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The groom must arrive before the  bride at the church to avoid bad luck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;It is considered bad luck for two  siblings to marry on the same year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Breaking something during the  reception brings good luck to the newlyweds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The bride should step on the  groom's foot while walking towards the altar if she wants him to agree to her  every whim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;A bride who wears pearls on her wedding will be an unhappy  wife experiencing many heartaches and tears.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;An unmarried woman who  follows the footsteps (literally) of the newlyweds will marry  soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Dropping the wedding ring, the veil or the arrhae during the  ceremony spells unhappiness for the couple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;In early Filipino custom, the groom-to-be threw his spear at the front steps of his intended's home, a sign that she has been spoken for. These days, a ring suffices as the symbol of engagement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The Engagement&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;After the couple has decided to marry, the first order of business is the pamanhikan, where the groom and his parents visit the bride's family to ask for her hand in marriage. Wedding plans are often made at this time, including a discussion of the budget and guest list. Don't be surprised if the groom-to-be is expected to run some errands or help out around the bride's house. This tradition is called paninilbihan, where the suitor renders service to his future wife's family to gain their approval.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The Wedding Outfits&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The white wedding dress has become popular in the last hundred years or so with America's influence in the Philippines. Before that, brides wore their best dress, in a festive color or even stylish black, to celebrate a wedding. Orange blossom bouquets and adornments were a must during the turn of the last century. For men, the barong tagalog is the traditional Filipino formal wear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;It is a cool, almost transparent, embroidered shirt, made from silky pina or jusi, two native ecru fabrics. It is worn untucked, over black pants, with a white t-shirt underneath. These days, a Filipino groom might wear the conventional black tux, but Filipino male wedding guests will usually show up in their finest barongs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The  Ceremony&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;In pre-colonial days, a wedding ceremony lasted three days. On the first day, the bride and groom were brought to the house of a priest or babaylan, who joined their hands over a plate of raw rice and blessed the couple. On the third day, the priest pricked the chests of both bride and groom and drew a little blood. Joining their hands, they declared their love for each other three times. The priest then fed them cooked rice from the same plate and gave them a drink of some of their blood mixed with water. Binding their hands and necks with a cord, he declared them married. The majority of Filipino weddings are now Catholic weddings, but some native traditions remain. Most have special "sponsors" who act as witnesses to the marriage. The principal sponsors could be godparents, counselors, a favorite uncle and aunt, even a parent. Secondary sponsors handle special parts of the ceremony, such as the candle, cord and veil ceremonies. Candle sponsors light two candles, which the bride and groom use to light a single candle to symbolize the joining of the two families and to invoke the light of Christ in their married life. Veil sponsors place a white veil over the bride's head and the groom's shoulders, a symbol of two people clothed as one. Cord sponsors drape the yugal (a decorative silk cord) in a figure-eight shape--to symbolize everlasting fidelity--over the shoulders of the bride and groom. The groom gives the bride 13 coins, or arrhae, blessed by the priest, as a sign of his dedication to his wife's well-being and the welfare of their future children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The Food&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The Filipino wedding feast is elaborate. One feast celebrated at the turn of the last century involved these foods: First was served cold vermicelli soup. The soup was followed by meats of unlimited quantity--stewed goat, chicken minced with garlic, boiled ham, stuffed capon, roast pork and several kinds of fish. There were no salads, but plenty of relishes, including red peppers, olives, green mango pickles and crystallized fruits. For dessert, there were meringues, baked custard flan, coconut macaroons and sweetened seeds of the nipa plant.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2632202721667322757-7152792314121784294?l=benchiegrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/feeds/7152792314121784294/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2632202721667322757&amp;postID=7152792314121784294' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/7152792314121784294'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/7152792314121784294'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/2009/09/filipino-wedding-tradition.html' title='Filipino wedding tradition'/><author><name>grace</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09442147900297436806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34nTHaaniSA/SnqF66rFQtI/AAAAAAAAApU/3U8AdHZBNiM/S220/DSC02037.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632202721667322757.post-9054507569552114001</id><published>2009-09-04T07:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-04T07:26:12.272-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Mommy Journey's Celebrating 1st Year Blogversary</title><content type='html'>Everyone of us have our most waited days like birthdays, anniversaries and many more.

Kahit na lingwaheng kanto lang ang alam kong Tagalog.&lt;br /&gt;Tutal Buwan ng Wika naman ang Agosto. Baka sakali ’yung paboritong wika ni Balagtas ay makatulong sa pag-unawa n’yo dahil mukhang ’yung paboritong wika ni Shakespeare ay lampas sa IQ n’yo. Kung sa bagay, ang pinakamahirap gisingin ay ’yung nagtutulug-tulugan. Ang pinakamahirap padinggin ay ’yung nagbibingi-bingihan. Ang pinakamahirap paintindihin ay ’yung nagmamaangmaangan. Bueno, mahirap din paintindihin ’yung likas na tanga. Pero bahala na.&lt;br /&gt;Sabi mo, Cerge Remonde, alangan naman pakanin ng hotdog ang amo mo. Bakit alangan? Hindi naman vegetarian ’yon. At public service nga ’yon, makakatulong dagdagan ng cholesterol at salitre ang dugong dumadaloy papuntang puso n’ya. Kung meron man s’yang dugo, kung meron man s’yang puso.&lt;br /&gt;Bakit alangan? Malamang di ka nagbabasa ng balita, o di lang talaga nagbabasa, kung hindi ay nalaman mo ’yung ginawa ni Barack Obama at Joe Biden nitong nakaraang Mayo. Galing silang White House patungong Virginia nang magtakam sila pareho ng hamburger. Pina detour nila ang motorcade at tumuloy sa unang hamburgerang nakita nila. Ito ang Ray’s Hell Burger, isang maliit at independienteng hamburger joint.&lt;br /&gt;Tumungo ang dalawa sa counter at sila mismo ang nag-order, hindi mga aides. Nagbayad sila ng cash na galing sa sariling bulsa at kagaya ng ibang customers ay pumila para sa turno nila.&lt;br /&gt;Ito ay presidente at bise presidente ng pinakamakapangyarihang bansa sa buong mundo. Kung sa bagay, ’yung amo n’yo ay hindi naman talaga presidente. Di lang makita ang pagkakaiba ni Garci kay God kaya nasabing “God put me here.” Pekeng presidente, pekeng asal presidente.&lt;br /&gt;Sabi mo, Anthony Golez, maliit lang ang P1 million dinner kumpara sa bilyon-bilyong pisong dinala ng amo mo sa bansa.&lt;br /&gt;Ay kayo lang naman ang nagsasabing may inambag ang amo n’yo na bilyong-bilyong piso sa kaban ng bayan. Ni anino noon wala kaming nakita. Ang nakita lang namin ay yung bilyon-bilyong piso—o borjer, ayon nga sa inyong dating kakosa na si Benjamin Abalos—na inaswang ng amo n’yo sa kaban ng bayan. Executive privilege daw ang hindi n’ya sagutin ito. Kailan pa naging pribilehiyo ng isang opisyal ang di managot sa taumbayan? Kailan pa naging pribilehiyo ng isang opisyal ang magnakaw?&lt;br /&gt;Maliit lang pala ang P1 million, ay bakit hindi n’yo na lang ibigay sa nagugutom? O doon sa mga sundalo sa Mindanao? Tama si Archbishop Oscar Cruz. Isipin n’yo kung gaano karaming botas man lang ang mabibili ng P1 million at karagdagang P750,000 na nilamon ng amo n’yo at mga taga bitbit ng kanyang maleta sa isa pang restawran sa New York.&lt;br /&gt;Maliit lang pala ang P1 million (at P750,000), bakit hindi n’yo na lang ibigay doon sa pamilya ng mga sundalong namatay sa Mindanao? Magkano ’yung gusto n’yong ibigay sa bawat isa? P20,000? Sa halagang iyan 50 sundalo na ang maaabuluyan n’yo sa $20,000. Pasalu-saludo pa ’yang amo n’yo sa mga namatay na kala mo ay talagang may malasakit. Bumenta na ’yang dramang ’yan. At pasabi-sabi pa ng “Annihilate the Abus!” Di ba noon pa n’ya ’yan pinangako? Mahilig lang talagang mangako ’yang amo n’yo.&lt;br /&gt;Bukod pa d’yan, saan ba nanggaling ’yung limpak-limpak na salapi ng mga kongresista na pinansisindi nila ng tabako? Di ba sa amin din? Tanong n’yo muna kung ayos lang na i-blowout namin ng wine at caviar ang amo n’yo habang kami ay nagdidildil ng asin—’yung magaspang na klase ha, ’di yung iodized. Ang tindi n’yo, mga p’re.&lt;br /&gt;At ikaw naman, Romulo Macalintal, tapang ng apog mo. Maiisip mo tuloy na sundin na lang ang mungkahi ni Dick the Butcher sa “Henry VI” ni Shakespeare: “First thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.” Pa ethics-ethics ka pa, pasalamat ka di nasunog ang bibig mo sa pagbigkas ng katagang ’yon.&lt;br /&gt;Marami mang sugapa rin sa aming mga taga media, di naman kasing sugapa n’yo. At di naman kami sineswelduhan ng taumbayan. Wala naman kaming problemang sumakay sa PAL at kailangan pang bumili ng P1.2 billion jet. Anong sabi n’yo, kailangan ng amo n’yo sa pabyahe-byahe? E sino naman ang may sabing magbabyahe s’ya? Ngayon pang paalis na s’ya—malinaw na ayaw n’yang umalis. Bakit hindi na lang s’ya bumili ng Matchbox na eroplano? Kasya naman s’ya ro’n.&lt;br /&gt;Lalo kayong nagpupumiglas, lalo lang kayong lumulubog sa kumunoy. Di n’yo malulusutan ang bulilyasong ginawa n’yo. Para n’yo na ring inagaw ang isinusubong kanin ng isang batang nagugutom. Tama si Obama at Biden: Sa panahon ng recession, kung saan nakalugmok ang mga Amerikano sa hirap, dapat makiramay ang mga pinuno sa taumbayan, di nagpapakapariwara. Sa panahon ng kagutuman, na matagal nang kalagayan ng Pinoy, at lalo pang tumindi sa paghagupit ng Typhoon Gloria, dapat siguro uminom na lang kayo ng insecticide. Gawin n’yo ’yan at mapapawi kaagad ang kagutuman ng bayan.&lt;br /&gt;Sa bandang huli, buti na rin lang at ginawa n’yo ’yung magpasasa sa P1 million dinner habang lupaypay ang bayan sa kagutuman—di lang sa kawalan ng pagkain kundi sa iba pang bagay—at pagdadalamhati sa yumaong Ina ng Bayan. Binigyan n’yo ng mukha ang katakawan. Katakawang walang kabusugan. Mukhang di nakita ng masa sa usaping NBN, mukhang di nakikita ng masa sa usaping SAL. Mukhang nakita lang ng masa dito sa ginawa n’yong ito. Sa pagpapabondat sa New York habang naghihinagpis ang bayan.&lt;br /&gt;At buti na rin lang mayroon tayong sariling wika. Di sapat ang Inggles para iparamdam sa inyo ang suklam na nararamdaman namin sa inyo. Di sapat ang Inggles para ipakita sa inyo ang pagkamuhi na nararamdaman namin sa inyo.

When a relationship ends there is usually one of the persons in the relationship that wanted to end it and on that didn't want the relationship to end. Unfortunately the person not wanting the relationship to end has the hardest time letting go. There are several reasons for this.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;                 var curDiv = document.getElementById('ln0');                 curDiv.innerHTML = convert2url(curDiv.innerHTML);                 var links = curDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');                 for(var i = links.length; i &gt;= 0; --i) {                     if(links[i]) links[i].innerHTML = links[i].innerHTML.substr(0,30) + "...";                 }             &lt;/script&gt;&lt;div id="ln1"&gt;The first thing to remember is that letting go is not easy to do. Most of the people that had been left still feel that there was something there. Maybe they felt that they could have done something to prevent this from happening. Most of the people that get left or dumped feel that it is their fault. Guilt is hard to overcome but is the first step in order to let the other one go. You must get over the feeling that it was your fault. People change and if the other person was not happy and left then you should find a way to eventually realize that making yourself happy is the most important thing in life.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;                 var curDiv = document.getElementById('ln1');                 curDiv.innerHTML = convert2url(curDiv.innerHTML);                 var links = curDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');                 for(var i = links.length; i &gt;= 0; --i) {                     if(links[i]) links[i].innerHTML = links[i].innerHTML.substr(0,30) + "...";                 }             &lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;                 var curDiv = document.getElementById('ln2');                 curDiv.innerHTML = convert2url(curDiv.innerHTML);                 var links = curDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');                 for(var i = links.length; i &gt;= 0; --i) {                     if(links[i]) links[i].innerHTML = links[i].innerHTML.substr(0,30) + "...";                 }             &lt;/script&gt;&lt;div id="ln3"&gt;Next thing I would recommend is try to find people to talk to about it. Talking to people you feel comfortable with is a good way to get things off your chest and into the open. If you bottle all these emotions up inside you then will never start on the road to letting go. Talking it out with other is healthy. If you don't have anyone to talk to then go to a church and speak with a preacher or find local support groups. There are support groups for everything.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;                 var curDiv = document.getElementById('ln3');                 curDiv.innerHTML = convert2url(curDiv.innerHTML);                 var links = curDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');                 for(var i = links.length; i &gt;= 0; --i) {                     if(links[i]) links[i].innerHTML = links[i].innerHTML.substr(0,30) + "...";                 }             &lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;                 var curDiv = document.getElementById('ln4');                 curDiv.innerHTML = convert2url(curDiv.innerHTML);                 var links = curDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');                 for(var i = links.length; i &gt;= 0; --i) {                     if(links[i]) links[i].innerHTML = links[i].innerHTML.substr(0,30) + "...";                 }             &lt;/script&gt;&lt;div id="ln5"&gt;Another step in the road to letting go is to get out. Get out of the house and off that couch and stay active. It is proven that if one sits around all the time then you have no reason to think about anything but what is bothering you. If you are out with friends and doing things that you did before you were with that person then it is more likely that you will be able to keep the breakup off your mind. Keeping yourself active is a very important aspect in the recovery process of letting go.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;                 var curDiv = document.getElementById('ln5');                 curDiv.innerHTML = convert2url(curDiv.innerHTML);                 var links = curDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');                 for(var i = links.length; i &gt;= 0; --i) {                     if(links[i]) links[i].innerHTML = links[i].innerHTML.substr(0,30) + "...";                 }             &lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;                 var curDiv = document.getElementById('ln6');                 curDiv.innerHTML = convert2url(curDiv.innerHTML);                 var links = curDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');                 for(var i = links.length; i &gt;= 0; --i) {                     if(links[i]) links[i].innerHTML = links[i].innerHTML.substr(0,30) + "...";                 }             &lt;/script&gt;&lt;div id="ln7"&gt;The process of letting go is hard for most of us to do. Being in a relationship and having the one you love to leave you when you're not ready makes it so hard to let go. There are so many questions often left unanswered. That is why it is good to get off the couch, talk to someone you trust and remember it is not your fault.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;                 var curDiv = document.getElementById('ln7');                 curDiv.innerHTML = convert2url(curDiv.innerHTML);                 var links = curDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');                 for(var i = links.length; i &gt;= 0; --i) {                     if(links[i]) links[i].innerHTML = links[i].innerHTML.substr(0,30) + "...";                 }             &lt;/script&gt;&lt;div id="ln8"&gt;by dustin anderson&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2632202721667322757-3063098371417136103?l=benchiegrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/feeds/3063098371417136103/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2632202721667322757&amp;postID=3063098371417136103' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/3063098371417136103'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/3063098371417136103'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/2009/08/something-to-ponder.html' title='something to ponder'/><author><name>grace</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09442147900297436806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34nTHaaniSA/SnqF66rFQtI/AAAAAAAAApU/3U8AdHZBNiM/S220/DSC02037.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632202721667322757.post-5660395873627224185</id><published>2009-08-14T09:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-14T17:24:57.600-07:00</updated><title type='text'>hatred and what it does for you</title><content type='html'>&lt;div id="ln0"&gt;Hate: Discussed.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;                 var curDiv = document.getElementById('ln0');                 curDiv.innerHTML = convert2url(curDiv.innerHTML);                 var links = curDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');                 for(var i = links.length; i &gt;= 0; --i) {                     if(links[i]) links[i].innerHTML = links[i].innerHTML.substr(0,30) + "...";                 }             &lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;                 var curDiv = document.getElementById('ln1');                 curDiv.innerHTML = convert2url(curDiv.innerHTML);                 var links = curDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');                 for(var i = links.length; i &gt;= 0; --i) {                     if(links[i]) links[i].innerHTML = links[i].innerHTML.substr(0,30) + "...";                 }             &lt;/script&gt;&lt;div id="ln2"&gt;Hate is a strong emotion. We can all attest to that. If you have ever been hit in the eye by a bully, who was both bigger and stronger than yourself, and watched them swagger away with your lunch money, you would know very well what hate feels like. Or if without warning you walked in on your girlfriend kissing your best friend, you will also be very familiar with that burning, corrosive, choking, blinding feeling.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;                 var curDiv = document.getElementById('ln2');                 curDiv.innerHTML = convert2url(curDiv.innerHTML);                 var links = curDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');                 for(var i = links.length; i &gt;= 0; --i) {                     if(links[i]) links[i].innerHTML = links[i].innerHTML.substr(0,30) + "...";                 }             &lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;                 var curDiv = document.getElementById('ln3');                 curDiv.innerHTML = convert2url(curDiv.innerHTML);                 var links = curDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');                 for(var i = links.length; i &gt;= 0; --i) {                     if(links[i]) links[i].innerHTML = links[i].innerHTML.substr(0,30) + "...";                 }             &lt;/script&gt;&lt;div id="ln4"&gt;Two things I find striking about hate.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;                 var curDiv = document.getElementById('ln4');                 curDiv.innerHTML = convert2url(curDiv.innerHTML);                 var links = curDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');                 for(var i = links.length; i &gt;= 0; --i) {                     if(links[i]) links[i].innerHTML = links[i].innerHTML.substr(0,30) + "...";                 }             &lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;                 var curDiv = document.getElementById('ln5');                 curDiv.innerHTML = convert2url(curDiv.innerHTML);                 var links = curDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');                 for(var i = links.length; i &gt;= 0; --i) {                     if(links[i]) links[i].innerHTML = links[i].innerHTML.substr(0,30) + "...";                 }             &lt;/script&gt;&lt;div id="ln6"&gt;The first is that it is always associated with fear. It is impossible to hate something we are not afraid of. I find mosquitoes irritating, but I hate rats. Now fear is an emotion we encounter on a somewhat more regular basis than hate. The thing about fear is that it is both paralyzing and blinding and we can never be more vulnerable than when we are blind and paralyzed. Experience has taught us that nature does not deal very kindly with the blind and vulnerable, so we hate most times simply to cover our vulnerability.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;                 var curDiv = document.getElementById('ln6');                 curDiv.innerHTML = convert2url(curDiv.innerHTML);                 var links = curDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');                 for(var i = links.length; i &gt;= 0; --i) {                     if(links[i]) links[i].innerHTML = links[i].innerHTML.substr(0,30) + "...";                 }             &lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;                 var curDiv = document.getElementById('ln7');                 curDiv.innerHTML = convert2url(curDiv.innerHTML);                 var links = curDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');                 for(var i = links.length; i &gt;= 0; --i) {                     if(links[i]) links[i].innerHTML = links[i].innerHTML.substr(0,30) + "...";                 }             &lt;/script&gt;&lt;div id="ln8"&gt;The second thing I find striking about hate is that recently it has become fashionable. From suicide bombers to gangster rappers, without forgetting incendiary speeches like This is a war of good against evil', hatred seems to be increasingly glamorized by today's news makers. And sadly, because of the very strong emotions that hatred can generate, people with alternative and ultimately more intelligent solutions are being swept away in this current of vitriol, by glazed-eyed mad men who are petrified of living in a world in which they are in the least bit vulnerable.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;                 var curDiv = document.getElementById('ln8');                 curDiv.innerHTML = convert2url(curDiv.innerHTML);                 var links = curDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');                 for(var i = links.length; i &gt;= 0; --i) {                     if(links[i]) links[i].innerHTML = links[i].innerHTML.substr(0,30) + "...";                 }             &lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;                 var curDiv = document.getElementById('ln9');                 curDiv.innerHTML = convert2url(curDiv.innerHTML);                 var links = curDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');                 for(var i = links.length; i &gt;= 0; --i) {                     if(links[i]) links[i].innerHTML = links[i].innerHTML.substr(0,30) + "...";                 }             &lt;/script&gt;&lt;div id="ln10"&gt;The question I would like to ask is why we are so afraid? In this world where trees produce fruits of their own accord and the earth churns out gold nuggets without our asking isn't is a disgrace that we should whip up such strong negative emotions as hatred.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;                 var curDiv = document.getElementById('ln10');                 curDiv.innerHTML = convert2url(curDiv.innerHTML);                 var links = curDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');                 for(var i = links.length; i &gt;= 0; --i) {                     if(links[i]) links[i].innerHTML = links[i].innerHTML.substr(0,30) + "...";                 }             &lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;                 var curDiv = document.getElementById('ln11');                 curDiv.innerHTML = convert2url(curDiv.innerHTML);                 var links = curDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');                 for(var i = links.length; i &gt;= 0; --i) {                     if(links[i]) links[i].innerHTML = links[i].innerHTML.substr(0,30) + "...";                 }             &lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;                 var curDiv = document.getElementById('ln12');                 curDiv.innerHTML = convert2url(curDiv.innerHTML);                 var links = curDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');                 for(var i = links.length; i &gt;= 0; --i) {                     if(links[i]) links[i].innerHTML = links[i].innerHTML.substr(0,30) + "...";                 }             &lt;/script&gt;&lt;div id="ln13"&gt;by:tenge ndah...:-)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2632202721667322757-5660395873627224185?l=benchiegrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/feeds/5660395873627224185/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2632202721667322757&amp;postID=5660395873627224185' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/5660395873627224185'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/5660395873627224185'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/2009/08/hatred-and-what-it-does-for-you.html' title='hatred and what it does for you'/><author><name>grace</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09442147900297436806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34nTHaaniSA/SnqF66rFQtI/AAAAAAAAApU/3U8AdHZBNiM/S220/DSC02037.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632202721667322757.post-2489505191705284912</id><published>2009-08-13T23:20:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-13T23:22:06.589-07:00</updated><title type='text'>DMC- Dance Craze</title><content type='html'>To all those who haven't seen the BOOm BOOm pao sensation..here it is guys.

I'm not saying that it will never come, the thing is God have other plans that only he knows and for us to surrender our selves to his will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things happen for a reason and sometimes reason are far beyond our little minds. It's for us to reach out, to search more and accept it with open hearts. Surely there's a one big reason why things happen and it's for us to find out what those reasons are.

Aguila&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;For 10 months now, amid the most disheartening tales we hear and read about wheeling and dealing politicians, less-than-stellar government officials and self-serving public servants, Kaya Natin! has been showing the public glimpses of hope and examples of good work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kaya Natin! seeks to continue doing just that. Besides providing a sanctuary to officials who continue to try to do good, it endeavors to inspire the public and make us dream again of a better Philippines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our country suffers from poor governance and a citizenry that is cynical and apathetic. Underlying this is both a leadership and citizenship crisis made worse by a dearth of action, example and standards. There is therefore a need to restore faith in government by showing people (in and out of government) who are champions of good governance and ethical leadership.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Convincing the people that it is still possible for good governance to reign will make many of our citizens trust their exemplary leaders once more and share in the immense work of reform that lies ahead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kaya Natin!’s vision of a Philippines run by good and effective leaders and a citizenry actively involved in nation-building can turn into reality­with your help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having five champions of good governance and ethical leadership is simply not enough. There is a whole gamut of work to be done, an entire country that needs to be brought back to the right track. Surely there are others in the bureaucracy that are doing their best to serve our country and the Filipino people. Kaya Natin! seeks to bring those who practice good governance and promote ethical leadership together. If bad people can come together and bring this country to the dogs, surely, good people can come together to make this country great again!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, April 24, 2009, KN! welcomes eight new champions of good governance and ethical leadership. Together with our existing five champions, we will continue spreading the hope virus and bringing the Caravan of Good Governance to as many places and as many citizens that continue to believe in the goodness of the Filipino.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is a Kaya Natin! champion? Gov. Among Ed Panlilio of Pampanga, Gov. Teddy Baguilat Jr. of Ifugao, Gov. Grace Padaca of Isabela, Mayor Sonia Lorenzo of San Isidro, Nueva Ecija, and Mayor Jesse Robredo of Naga City might come from different political backgrounds and belong to different political parties but they fundamental virtues and values. While there is a more detailed process by which these champions are identified­it basically boils down to two things. Competence and Character. Those are the fundamental twin requirements we in Kaya Natin! are looking for in our champions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KN! seeks to identify those who consistently adhere to the principles of discernment, commitment and courage in living up to their oath and promise to promote the people’s agenda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first prayer I learned by heart as a child was the Prayer for Generosity. Thanks to my true-blue dad and upbringing, this Ignatian prayer has always been central in how I try to live my every day:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Dearest Lord, teach me to be generous. Teach me to serve you as I should, to give and not to count the cost; to fight and not to heed the wounds; to toil and not to seek for rest; to labor and to ask not for reward­save that of knowing that I do Your most holy will.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Kaya Natin! seeks to identify other champions of good governance and ethical leadership and as we near a very crucial national election, standards will be drawn up to guide us in identifying these good leaders. Groups everywhere are coming up with their own criteria for determining good public servants and how we should vote in 2010. May I invite you to bear in mind the foregoing prayer. I think it captures in essence the kind of leadership we need in the country and the kind of attitude we, as responsible citizens, should try to live up to in doing our own bit in nationbuilding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Competence and Character. In seeking to do God’s most holy will, however different faiths define it, the overriding sense is that of other-centeredness. Not my political ambition and those of my supporters, family or friends but the good of others, the good of the country. To labor, to toil and to fight necessarily implies that one has the necessary skills needed to fight the good fight or is willing to engage those who can help him or her to fight the good fight. The bottom-line for a public servant is to give of themselves and not to count the cost. We need leaders who do not count political capital, mileage, bailiwick, survival. We need servant leaders and those who will give generously of themselves for the country and for the Filipino people.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;img alt="[]" src="http://www.manilatimes.net/images2/etc/dot.gif" width="8" height="7" /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Eirene Jhone E.

Kung sino na nga ang nagsasabi ng katotohanan siya pa ang nasa kulungan habang ang ilan sa ating mga tiwaling opisyal ng pamahalaan na nasangkot dito sa bilyong pisong NBN-ZTE deal ay ‘di man lamang naparusahan at ngayon ay nagbiyabiyahe sa ibang bansa o ‘di kaya ay naglalaro ng golf diyan sa may Wack-Wack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malaki na rin ang naisakripsiyo ni Lozada para sa ating bayan. Ang buong pamilya niya ay hindi na makapamuhay ng normal dahil na rin sa ginawa niyang pagbubulgar ng mga katiwalian sa ating pamahalaan. Nu’ng minsan nakausap ng ilang kasama natin sa Kaya Natin! si Lozada at ang sabi niya ay hirap na hirap na ang kanyang pamilya dahil sa mga pangyayaring ito ngunit hindi pa rin siya aatras dahil naniniwala siya na karapatan ng bawat Pilipino na malaman kung ano ang katotohanan. Ang nakakalungkot lang sabi ni Lozada pati ang kanyang mga anak ay nagtatanong sa kanya na bakit kung sino pa ang gumagawa ng mabuti siya pa ang nahihirapan habang ang mga gumagawa ng masama sila pa ang mas masarap ang pamumuhay. Wala na ba talagang hustisya sa bayang ito? O ang hustisya ba ay para sa mga mayayaman at makapangyarihan lamang?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Balikan natin iyang NBN-ZTE deal na nagkakahalaga ng US$329 Milyon o mahigit 15 bil­yong piso. Alam niyo ba kung ilang pabahay na para sa mahihirap ang maipapagawa ng halagang iyan? Mahigit 200,000! Ilang milyong Pilipino ang pwedeng magkaroon ng sariling bahay at lupa kung ito ay gagastusin lamang ng tama. Mahigit 125,000 ding kabataang Pilipino ang makakapagtapos ng kolehiyo ng libre kung gagamitin itong halagang ito para sa edukasyon. Nakakadismaya na habang ang karamihan sa atin ay nagpapakahirap kumita ng pera at marami pa nga ang iniwan ang kanilang mga mahal sa buhay para makipagsapalaran sa ibang bansa, ang mga lider naman natin ay kinakamkam ang pondo na para sana sa milyun-milyong Pilipino.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ipinapakita rito sa mga katiwaliang tulad nito na mahalaga talaga ang pagpili natin nang tamang mga lider sa ating pamahalaan nitong nalalapit na eleksyon. Huwag sana nating hayaan na ang mga magnanakaw at kurakot ang muling manalo sa eleksyon. Tandaan natin na sa pagbenta natin ng ating boto sa halagang P500 ang kapalit naman nito ay 3 hanggang 6 na taong pagdurusa nating lahat. Humalal tayo ng kandidatong kahit walang perang maibigay sa atin ay tunay at maayos namang serbisyo ang ibibigay sa ating lahat. Panghuli, sana yayain natin ang mga kabataan na magrehistro na para sa nalalapit na halalan, habang wala silang pasok at ‘di naman ganun ka abala ngayong summer break.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mahalaga ang magiging papel ng ating mga kabataan para sa eleksyon sa 2010, kailangan natin sila para pumili at huma­lal ng matino, magaling, maka-Diyos at makaba­yang lider.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Pwede ninyo akong i-text sa &lt;b&gt;0922-8570496&lt;/b&gt; o kaya padalhan ng email sa &lt;b&gt;kayanatin@yahoo. com.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2632202721667322757-6953050083598953387?l=benchiegrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/feeds/6953050083598953387/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2632202721667322757&amp;postID=6953050083598953387' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/6953050083598953387'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/6953050083598953387'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/2009/08/may-hustisya-pa-ba-sa-pilipinas.html' title='MAY HUSTISYA PA BA SA PILIPINAS?'/><author><name>grace</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09442147900297436806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34nTHaaniSA/SnqF66rFQtI/AAAAAAAAApU/3U8AdHZBNiM/S220/DSC02037.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632202721667322757.post-4048281899004530828</id><published>2009-08-08T17:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-08T18:07:42.594-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hacienda y Gracia</title><content type='html'>&lt;img src="http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs194.snc1/6532_1104954020073_1113439875_30246191_2947788_n.jpg" id="myphoto" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This is my farm.

Parang hindi mo iisipin na magiging ins­pirasyon para sa iba tungo sa pagbabago.&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;Napaisip kaming lahat sa sinabi ni Mayor Mabulo na “Power without idea­lism is corruption. Idea­lism without power is frustration.” Kaming mga nakaranas nang mailuklok sa kapangyarihan ay nakakaalam na sobrang totoo ito.&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;Ako nga, lagi kong sinasabi sa aking talumpati na isa sa mga pinakama­laki kong natanto pagkaraan ng limang taon kong Gobernador ng Isabela ay kung gaano kalaki ang kapangyarihan na nasa kamay naming mga hinahalal ng taumba­yan. Isang pirma ko lang, makakapag­labas ng mil­yun-milyong pera ng ba­yan. Isang “oo” o “hindi” na sasabihin ko ay makakaapekto sa buhay ng napakaraming tao.&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;Kung gagamitin nang mabuti, ang kapangyarihan ay napakaganda. Pero paano kung ang kapangyarihang ito ay mapunta sa mga sabik sa pera kasi marami silang luho o may iba’t ibang pamilya o asawa o mahilig sa mga sugal. Syempre, minu-minuto, manganganib ang pera ng bayan. Sa halip na mapunta sa mga naghihirap na mga Pilipino, sinasarili na lamang ng mga salbaheng politiko.&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;Kaya nga sana po gamitin nating mabuti ang ating kapangyarihang bumoto. Ito lang ang sandata natin laban sa mga magsasamantala sa atin. Talasan ang pakiramdam para sa mga karapat-dapat. Mag-ingat sa mga sobra kung gumastos ng pera at sa mga magaling lang sa porma.&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;Marami namang pagpipilian. Dapat kasi galingan din nating pumili.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2632202721667322757-151838258144366582?l=benchiegrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/feeds/151838258144366582/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2632202721667322757&amp;postID=151838258144366582' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/151838258144366582'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/151838258144366582'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/2009/08/just-feel-inspiration-and-be-inspired.html' title='just feel the inspiration and be inspired in return; hope and goodness are still very much alive in the country'/><author><name>grace</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09442147900297436806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34nTHaaniSA/SnqF66rFQtI/AAAAAAAAApU/3U8AdHZBNiM/S220/DSC02037.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632202721667322757.post-4940025242622468435</id><published>2009-08-06T21:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-06T21:46:12.807-07:00</updated><title type='text'>What Do You Believe?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The story may or may not be true.

 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Their study -- the latest to suggest a health benefit from the vitamin -- showed death rates from any cause as well as from heart-related problems varied greatly depending on vitamin D.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span id="midArticle_2"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;"This is the first association study that shows vitamin D affects mortality regardless of the reason for death," said Harald Dobnig, an internist and endocrinologist at the University of Graz in Austria who led the study.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span id="midArticle_3"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;The body makes vitamin D when the skin is exposed to sunlight, a reason for its nickname as the "sunshine vitamin."

 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Most doctors believe people should have between 20 to 30 nanograms per millilitre of the vitamin in their blood, he added in a telephone interview.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span id="midArticle_2"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;What causes this effect is not clear, but Dobnig pointed to a host of studies suggesting links to high blood pressure, cancer and fractures as places to begin looking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span id="midArticle_3"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;The potential health risk of low levels of vitamin D should also prod physicians to be more aware of the potential problem, especially for the immobile, elderly and others who spend a great amount of time indoors, he added.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span id="midArticle_4"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Many doctors agree that people with low levels of vitamin D cannot make up for it safely by sitting in the sun, but should take supplements.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span id="midArticle_5"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;

The theme of the diet is that foods should not be denied, but enjoyed, even while trying to lose a few pounds. And, the diet explains that weight loss will come more easily for those who allow themselves to “celebrate” food and love what they eat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dieters can sign up for this program online, and the best part is, the diet analysis is absolutely free. The website has many options for consumers, including recipes and even interactive weight loss tools.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Most dieters are probably familiar with the region of &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;California&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt; known as wine country, an area that is lush and sunny, an agricultural haven. &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:placename st="on"&gt;Sonoma&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placetype st="on"&gt;Valley&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; is filled with orchards and farms, and what some might call the “paradise of healthy living.” The foods from this area as well as those from the Sea supply the roots of the Sonoma Diet, two areas that are described as having a “festive” approach to eating. What could be more fun than that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We know that most people who are trying to lose weight also enjoy eating. Actually, there are very few people in this country who do not enjoy eating, but the cost of over-indulging is more obvious on some than others. But honestly, counting calories is no way to live, which is why this diet can help with finding a balance between eating healthy foods and ensuring that there is still a limit.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;The secret behind the Sonoma Diet is eating the right foods in the right amounts. Members of this online diet program will receive over 500 recipes that are easy to make. Seriously, dieters could make one new item every day for a year and a half! Talk about not getting bored with food – we find, that the choices on this diet plan will keep dieters interested for a very long time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some users might think that a diet based on a region of &lt;st1:state st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;California&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt; must be vegetarian. Well, carnivores will be pleased to know that this is not the case. And veggies lovers will also be satisfied, because numerous meat-free recipes are also provided. Some of the items featured on the site are a spinach and lentil salad, making sure dieters get their greens as well as protein, and the other entrée worth noting is the Chile Mint Burger, an interesting and tasty way to eat beef. Dieters can also enjoy a fresh Greek pizza, and a diet that stresses how much food should be enjoyed will most definitely not leave out the most important part – dessert. A Peachy Berry Cobbler is featured on the website – sweetly healthy, yet satisfying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, dieters will have the complete recipes and learn how to prepare full menus. Those that sign up can even get customized meal plans to fit personal needs. Even more important than dessert, meals come with wine suggestions. It is like having a waiter personally recommend a wine to pair with a meal, coming from diet professionals.&lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.bravenet.com/common/images/smilies/20_grumpy.gif" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.bravenet.com/common/images/smilies/26_crying.gif" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.bravenet.com/common/images/smilies/4_wink.gif" /&gt;Cambridge® Diet&lt;img src="http://images.bravenet.com/common/images/smilies/1_grin.gif" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.bravenet.com/common/images/smilies/4_wink.gif" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.bravenet.com/common/images/smilies/19_indifferent.gif" /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seldom makes a splash nowadays when a new diet program is introduced by experts and those who hold Ph.D. degrees. In fact, it seems today a new one is created on a regular basis. The weight loss industry has become so inundated with diet fads and supplement crazes that it is no surprise when dozens of products vanish each week, succumbing to the intense competition. Cambridge® Diet is one of those legacy diets that have managed to survive through the decades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to analyze the Cambridge® Diet, we will need to look at not only its concept, but also its product line and its history. The Diet program has evolved into a company that also sells numerous related products, from Nutrition Bars to Drinks and Supplements. We will therefore take a closer look at the its concept and conclude whether a low carb diet alone may be effective and feasible than other weight loss formulas on the market.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Cambridge® Diet is essentially a low carb diet. We believe that a more appropriate term would probably be “a very low carb” diet. Some people may even refer to the program as a “near starvation diet.” In fact, the company itself markets one of its programs, called Fast Start Program, as a “very-low-calorie diet.” The Fast Start Program lasts for no more than two consecutive weeks and involves taking around 500 calories a day, which is supposed to be gotten from three servings of Cambridge® Food For Life Nutrition formula. The concept here is to simulate fasting, or near-starvation. It is theorized that when the body gets accustomed to the “very-low-calorie diet” (which usually happens in a day or two, it is claimed), it reaches for stored fat “as its primary source of fuel usually creating a state of mild ketosis.” Ketosis is a stage in metabolism when the liver converts fat into fatty acids and Ketone bodies.&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;!-- right search ads --&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;!-- w=120, mdl = 80 --&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;We believe that a low carb diet may create problems that outweigh potential gains. Specifically, this Diet requires strict adherence, which may not be practical for many people. Furthermore, the Diet upholds its own product line, most of which are processed foods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the end, we believe that an effective weight management formula should be hassle-free. If an individual does not have the time and dedication for a strict diet plan, they may wish to try a weight loss supplement in a capsule form. There may indeed be some safe and trustworthy supplements on the market with great customer service and free-trial offers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.bravenet.com/common/images/smilies/yell.gif" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.bravenet.com/common/images/smilies/6_tongue.gif" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.bravenet.com/common/images/smilies/26_crying.gif" /&gt;The &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:placename st="on"&gt;South&lt;/st1:placename&gt; &lt;st1:placetype st="on"&gt;Beach&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; Diet&lt;img src="http://images.bravenet.com/common/images/smilies/knockedout.gif" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.bravenet.com/common/images/smilies/3_oh.gif" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.bravenet.com/common/images/smilies/30_angel.gif" /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many people might be aware of the South Beach Diet, and some may have even read the NY Times best-selling book. Now, dieters can go online to learn all about this diet plan and even sign up for the program so they can begin seeing results. Diet profiles can be calculated for absolutely free on the website, a service that usually requires visiting a nutritionist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The diet was developed by Arthur Agatson, an M.D. who wanted to help improve the conditions of his patients who had heart disease. His eating plan worked so well that he had to share it with the rest of the world by writing a book – and now, it can be followed online. Many features are offered on the website – we will take a closer look at this plan to see how dieters can benefit.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;The principle behind the South Beach Diet is that weight will be lost and health can improve if dieters eat a correct balance of foods. According to the website, the diet is not strictly low-carb or low-fat, but teaches dieters to choose “good” carbohydrates over ‘bad” carbohydrates, and healthy fats over unhealthy fats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The diet is divided into three phases that allow dieters to begin to change their eating habits, lose weight and keep the pounds off permanently. We believe that with this plan, dieters can reach their goals and see improvements in their health that will last a lifetime.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;The first phase of the South Beach Diet lasts for two weeks, and might prove to be the most challenging. The good news is that dieters will begin to see changes immediately. This phase allows dieters to eat normal-sized portions of meat and seafood and lots of vegetables, nuts, eggs and even cheese. Dieters can even eat dessert and drink diet soda, items that are often forbidden on other diets. For these fourteen days, dieters must avoid high-carbohydrate foods in order to begin to lose weight. This means no bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, baked goods or fruit. Of course, this will not be that difficult, since these are only restricted for two weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During phase two, dieters can begin to incorporate these foods back into the diet. These foods will be added into the diet in a healthy, balanced, way, of course, and dieters will be allowed to eat foods such as wine and chocolate, as well as pasta, bread and rice. And, the weight will continue to drop off. This phase is followed until the set goal is reached.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, phase three is considered “a diet for life.” Since dieters will now know how to make healthy food choices, it will be easier to continue eating this way. The weight will stay off, and health will not decline after dieters realize how easy it is to eat right.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;We find The South Beach Diet online program is an interactive, inexpensive way for dieters to permanently lose weight and make lifestyle changes that will lead to improved health. The program includes weight loss tools that are quite superior to other programs, such as a shopping list generator that allows dieters to print out a complete shopping list from their meal planner, and answers from Dr. Agatson himself. Of course, members have access to registered dieticians, and like other programs, members can receive recipes, food guides and newsletters and they can communicate with other members of the program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most diet plans are unrealistic and set up dieters for failure in the end. We have found that this is because they deny dieters certain foods until the target weight is achieved, but do not teach dieters how to change their habits. This is what sets the South Beach Diet apart from the others – it really helps dieters learn what foods are healthy and which ones should be avoided, and allows for a balance of all food groups. With this online service, dieters are not giving up anything besides larger dress sizes, and can gain a sustainable healthy life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2632202721667322757-4529569243670466918?l=benchiegrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/feeds/4529569243670466918/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2632202721667322757&amp;postID=4529569243670466918' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/4529569243670466918'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/4529569243670466918'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/2009/08/diet-diaries.html' title='Diet Diaries'/><author><name>grace</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09442147900297436806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34nTHaaniSA/SnqF66rFQtI/AAAAAAAAApU/3U8AdHZBNiM/S220/DSC02037.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632202721667322757.post-2278651147867678621</id><published>2009-08-02T23:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-07T17:43:07.498-07:00</updated><title type='text'>PAANO AALISIN ANG KATIWALIAN?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Gov. Ed Panlilio&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Noong nakaraang Sabado, akin pong tinalakay na kaya nating alisin ang katiwalian sa ating gobyerno at sa ating lipunan. Ngunit ang tanong natin ngayon ay paano?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hayaan po ninyong bahagian ko kayo ng aming karanasan dito sa Pampanga.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ang pagputok ng Bulkang Pinatubo taong 1991 ay nagdulot ng pagkamatay ng maraming tao at pagkasira ng mga ari-arian sa aming probinsya. Ngunit pagkalipas ng mga ilang taon, ang buhangin na pinanpinsala nito ay nagbigay ng napalaking kita sa amin. Ang bansag nga nila ang “ash ay naging cash”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ngunit, itong napakalaking kayamanan namin ay pinanggalingan ng dambuhalang katiwalian sa mga kinauukulan. Ito ay aking napatunayan sa aking pagkaupo bilang gobernador. Kung noong unang administrasyon ay 5 hanggang 29 milyong piso ang kita ng ka­pitolyo sa loob ng isang taon, mula July 2007 hanggang June 2008, kami ay nakapagpasok ng 234 milyon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ang naging isang taong kita noong panahon ng mga Lapid ay nagawa namin sa loob ng wala pang dalawang buwan! At ang katiwaliang ito ay naganap sa loob ng humigit kumulang ng 12 taon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paano po nangyari ito? Magbibigay po ako ng 3 dahilan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Una, ako po ay hindi tumatanggap ng anumang lagay sa aming quarry operation. Alam ng aming mga kabalen na isa sa mga ipinangako ko noong panahon ng kampanya na aalisin ko ang katiwalian sa gobyerno. At ito nga ay ginawa ko.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pangalawa, pinatupad namin ang nasasaad sa ordinansa. Lahat ng pagbabayad sa quarry na 300 pesos kada truck ay gagawin sa Provincial Treasurer’s Office (PTO). Kaya babayaran ng lahat ng quarry operators ang kada biyahe sa PTO na walang pasubali. Noong nauna kasi, isang tao lang ang kukuha ng resibo sa PTO at ito ay pamimigay niya sa mga quarry operators na binabayaran nila sa mga quarry sites. At dito nangyayari ang mala­king corruption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At pangatlo, naglagay kami ng mga quarry checkers at monitors, mga taong mabubuti. Ang sabi nga natin, “putting the right person at the right place”. At naging mahigpit kami sa kanila. Tinatanggal namin ang nandadaya at hinuhuli namin ang mga quarry operators o truckers na lumalabag sa mga patakaran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Samakatuwid, katapatan, pagkapursigido at naaangkop na sistema (fidelity, political will at appropriate systems) ang kailangan upang maalis ang katiwalian sa atin piling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hindi pa naman perfect ang aming adbosiyang ito sa Pampanga. Maaari pa itong pagbutihin. Ngunit napatunayan namin na hindi imposibleng maging bahagi ng kahapon ang mga masasamang pangyayari sa ating bansa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ang maganda pa rito hindi lamang sa Pampanga nangyayari na unti-unti nating inaalis ang katiwalian at korupsyon sa ating pamahalaan, ang ating mga kasamahan sa Kaya Natin! tulad na lamang ni Isabela Gov. Grace Padaca at Naga City Mayor Jesse Robredo ay lumalaban din upang tuluyan nang sugpuin ang salot na ito sa ating lipunan. Isipin na lamang natin ilang scholarship ang mabibigay natin sa kabataan at ilang pabahay para sa mga mahihirap ang maibibigay ng ating pamahalaan kung aalisin ang katiwalian at gagamitin lamang sa tama ang pondo na dapat ay para sa serbisyo publiko. Sana makonsensya na ang ilan nating mga lider sa pamahalaan na iniisip lamang ang pagpapayaman ng sarili at nagiging manhid na sa kalagayan ng ating mga kababayan na patuloy pa rin ang paghihirap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welcome pala sa mga bagong lider ng Kaya Natin! tulad nina Mayor Fermin Mabulo, Mayor Florante Gerdan, Mayor Jun Verzosa, Mayor Marivic Belena, Vice-Ma­yor Valente Yap, dating Mayor Mary Jane Ortega at da­ting Mayor Baby Congco. Dumadami na ang mga kasama­han nating naniniwala na pwede ang mabuti at maayos na pamamahala sa ating bansa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;Ipaabot po ninyo sa akin ang inyong pagtingin hinggil dito.

This bold little dog is a good watchdog and will alert its owners when it feels it is necessary.  The Japanese Spitz is not difficult to train as long as the owner is always consistent.  This breed learns quickly and really enjoys agility and playing games of catch with balls or Frisbees.  This happy dog is usually good with children and usually gets along well with other dogs and household pets.  The Japanese Spitz is, in spirit, a big dog in a little dog's body.  This tough little dog acts as a house protector and guardian.  The Japanese Spitz can be an inveterate barker, although selective breeding has to some extent reduced this characteristic.  Cheerful, bold, proud and affectionate toward its masters, but like all Spitz-type dogs, most are suspicious of strangers and will bark at new people until they get to know them.&lt;img src="http://images.bravenet.com/common/images/smilies/4_wink.gif" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.bravenet.com/common/images/smilies/30_angel.gif" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.bravenet.com/common/images/smilies/20_grumpy.gif" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.bravenet.com/common/images/smilies/goldfish.gif" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2632202721667322757-5690359557904798786?l=benchiegrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/feeds/5690359557904798786/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2632202721667322757&amp;postID=5690359557904798786' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/5690359557904798786'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/5690359557904798786'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/2009/08/japanese-spitz.html' title='Japanese Spitz'/><author><name>grace</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09442147900297436806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34nTHaaniSA/SnqF66rFQtI/AAAAAAAAApU/3U8AdHZBNiM/S220/DSC02037.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632202721667322757.post-234167207869748176</id><published>2009-08-02T19:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-03T22:50:59.762-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I'm broke</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Just want to share with you guys how much broke I am lately.

font-style: italic;"&gt;Dragon Fruits&lt;/span&gt; or &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Pitaya&lt;/span&gt;? They are one of the most widely distributed                  members of the cactaceae family, and are now found on six continents.  It's my latest discovery. When my mom first introduced me to it, I thought it might be poisonous but still tasted it. And to my surprise it taste great. Aside from it's very beautiful shape and color, Dragon fruit serves many purpose. The dragon                  fruit flesh can be white, red, or magenta all to varying degrees dependent upon variety. The red fleshed varieties contain lycopene                  which is a natural antioxidant known to fight cancer, heart disease,                  and lower blood pressure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2632202721667322757-1851490983705931294?l=benchiegrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/feeds/1851490983705931294/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2632202721667322757&amp;postID=1851490983705931294' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/1851490983705931294'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/1851490983705931294'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/2009/08/latest-craze.html' title='Latest Craze'/><author><name>grace</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09442147900297436806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34nTHaaniSA/SnqF66rFQtI/AAAAAAAAApU/3U8AdHZBNiM/S220/DSC02037.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34nTHaaniSA/SnegLw-EOOI/AAAAAAAAAoE/XRETUmS1xj8/s72-c/d3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632202721667322757.post-5625049134080605300</id><published>2009-07-26T07:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-03T19:58:56.903-07:00</updated><title type='text'>cotillion de honor</title><content type='html'>&lt;script&gt; document.write(unescape("%20%20%20%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22 http%3A//www.thecutestblogontheblock.com%22%20target%3D%22blank%22%3E%3Cimg%20 src%3D%22http%3A//www.thecutestblogontheblock.com/images/rsgallery/original/darling-butterfly-blinkie.gif %22%20border%3D%220%22%20/%3E%3C/a%3E")); &lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Another big event happened to our family..my cousin celebrated her 18th birthday and I'm the over all in charge with her debut.

We, as  humans, don't live for us, we live for God. All humans have a part of God in  them and with millions of people in the world, you know that there  is a lot more to God than we know. We, as humans, are not on this earth for us  but for God. Our lives  aren't meaningless whatsoever because it depends on how you live your life, what  you believe in, what you stand for, and what causes you to fight for. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We fight  to stay alive for a couple of reasons: we believe or think that there is nothing  greater than living life, we believe or think that we have to live for our  family, friends, significant other, or even our kids we believe or think that  we're afraid of the afterlife, of the unknown; of all of these things simply  because we're just plain afraid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;"&gt;We fight to earn things because we think and  believe that we can't survive without them, we think and believe that things  bring us joy &amp;amp; happiness, we think and believe that life wants us to feel  like we're doing something right &amp;amp; that we deserve some sort of  credit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;"&gt;We fight for whatever reason because that's the laws of cause &amp;amp;  effect, the laws of God, and the laws of the Universe. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255); font-weight: bold;"&gt;I believe that all  humans have the right to be happy and to be able to live for whatever reason  they may choose, I can't judge the reason, you can't judge or anyone else and we  certainly can't make the decision for these people no matter if we think it's  meaningless or not.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2632202721667322757-1004337965928074126?l=benchiegrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/feeds/1004337965928074126/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2632202721667322757&amp;postID=1004337965928074126' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/1004337965928074126'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/1004337965928074126'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/2008/07/lifes-blessings.html' title='Life&apos;s Blessings'/><author><name>grace</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09442147900297436806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34nTHaaniSA/SnqF66rFQtI/AAAAAAAAApU/3U8AdHZBNiM/S220/DSC02037.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_34nTHaaniSA/SH1kX3vjayI/AAAAAAAAACM/iA6wBUjsHv0/s72-c/149699705.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632202721667322757.post-261015212102826152</id><published>2009-07-03T22:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-03T22:36:29.671-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A Time for Reflection</title><content type='html'>Sometimes, I find myself asking too many questions and can't figure out reasons for such query.

Been pretty busy with work and at the same time tired with blogging. I guess having no PR is one reason why I felt lazy with blogging and not to mention that advertisers pay less nowadays.

How about you guys? If only I have more money, I'll go to different places worldwide. Fortunately, I'm saving some money for a grand vacation and my next destination is Singapore. I love watching beautiful scenarios and ride through a train, taxi or bus. It's really fun to travel especially with friends but make sure you plan ahead of time. And I hope I'll be able to stay at very superb Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You need to plan when and where to travel. Next, you need to save and find the cheapest airline tickets and reservation but of course with great deal. Once you're done, you need to prepare travel documents like passport, visa, other identifications and one more things when you bring money with you it's better to bring US Dollar than you're own country's currency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since, I'm going to Singapore, I want to view different places, take photos as souvenir items and eat different Singaporean cuisine.

So everyone thinks...it's one lifetime opportunity for us to visit such wonderful place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll update you guys about our said travel...promise!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2632202721667322757-4262365976458992440?l=benchiegrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/feeds/4262365976458992440/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2632202721667322757&amp;postID=4262365976458992440' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/4262365976458992440'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2632202721667322757/posts/default/4262365976458992440'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://benchiegrace.blogspot.com/2009/06/confirmation-pearl-farm.html' title='Confirmation- PEARL FARM..'/><author><name>grace</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09442147900297436806</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_34nTHaaniSA/SnqF66rFQtI/AAAAAAAAApU/3U8AdHZBNiM/S220/DSC02037.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632202721667322757.post-4156369012020625716</id><published>2009-06-03T04:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-03T04:10:53.454-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Interesting Blog Award</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3 class="post-title entry-title"&gt; &lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;div class="post-body entry-content"&gt; &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3mDCBE0I_1Y/SiYjHOdqltI/AAAAAAAAAg4/lw3iPE-zzEc/s1600-h/Interesting+Blog.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 175px; height: 175px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3mDCBE0I_1Y/SiYjHOdqltI/AAAAAAAAAg4/lw3iPE-zzEc/s320/Interesting+Blog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342996614970250962" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I received this &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Interesting Blog Award&lt;/span&gt; from my good friend &lt;a href="http://schizoshrink8.blogspot.com"&gt;shaine&lt;/a&gt; and I appreciate it a lot!

Ed Panlilio&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Noong nakaraang Sabado, akin pong tinalakay na kaya nating alisin ang katiwalian sa ating gobyerno at sa ating lipunan. Ngunit ang tanong natin ngayon ay paano?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hayaan po ninyong bahagian ko kayo ng aming karanasan dito sa Pampanga.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ang pagputok ng Bulkang Pinatubo taong 1991 ay nagdulot ng pagkamatay ng maraming tao at pagkasira ng mga ari-arian sa aming probinsya. Ngunit pagkalipas ng mga ilang taon, ang buhangin na pinanpinsala nito ay nagbigay ng napalaking kita sa amin. Ang bansag nga nila ang “ash ay naging cash”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ngunit, itong napakalaking kayamanan namin ay pinanggalingan ng dambuhalang katiwalian sa mga kinauukulan. Ito ay aking napatunayan sa aking pagkaupo bilang gobernador. Kung noong unang administrasyon ay 5 hanggang 29 milyong piso ang kita ng ka­pitolyo sa loob ng isang taon, mula July 2007 hanggang June 2008, kami ay nakapagpasok ng 234 milyon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ang naging isang taong kita noong panahon ng mga Lapid ay nagawa namin sa loob ng wala pang dalawang buwan! At ang katiwaliang ito ay naganap sa loob ng humigit kumulang ng 12 taon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paano po nangyari ito? Magbibigay po ako ng 3 dahilan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Una, ako po ay hindi tumatanggap ng anumang lagay sa aming quarry operation. Alam ng aming mga kabalen na isa sa mga ipinangako ko noong panahon ng kampanya na aalisin ko ang katiwalian sa gobyerno. At ito nga ay ginawa ko.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pangalawa, pinatupad namin ang nasasaad sa ordinansa. Lahat ng pagbabayad sa quarry na 300 pesos kada truck ay gagawin sa Provincial Treasurer’s Office (PTO). Kaya babayaran ng lahat ng quarry operators ang kada biyahe sa PTO na walang pasubali. Noong nauna kasi, isang tao lang ang kukuha ng resibo sa PTO at ito ay pamimigay niya sa mga quarry operators na binabayaran nila sa mga quarry sites. At dito nangyayari ang mala­king corruption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At pangatlo, naglagay kami ng mga quarry checkers at monitors, mga taong mabubuti. Ang sabi nga natin, “putting the right person at the right place”. At naging mahigpit kami sa kanila. Tinatanggal namin ang nandadaya at hinuhuli namin ang mga quarry operators o truckers na lumalabag sa mga patakaran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Samakatuwid, katapatan, pagkapursigido at naaangkop na sistema (fidelity, political will at appropriate systems) ang kailangan upang maalis ang katiwalian sa atin piling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hindi pa naman perfect ang aming adbosiyang ito sa Pampanga. Maaari pa itong pagbutihin. Ngunit napatunayan namin na hindi imposibleng maging bahagi ng kahapon ang mga masasamang pangyayari sa ating bansa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ang maganda pa rito hindi lamang sa Pampanga nangyayari na unti-unti nating inaalis ang katiwalian at korupsyon sa ating pamahalaan, ang ating mga kasamahan sa Kaya Natin! tulad na lamang ni Isabela Gov. Grace Padaca at Naga City Mayor Jesse Robredo ay lumalaban din upang tuluyan nang sugpuin ang salot na ito sa ating lipunan. Isipin na lamang natin ilang scholarship ang mabibigay natin sa kabataan at ilang pabahay para sa mga mahihirap ang maibibigay ng ating pamahalaan kung aalisin ang katiwalian at gagamitin lamang sa tama ang pondo na dapat ay para sa serbisyo publiko. Sana makonsensya na ang ilan nating mga lider sa pamahalaan na iniisip lamang ang pagpapayaman ng sarili at nagiging manhid na sa kalagayan ng ating mga kababayan na patuloy pa rin ang paghihirap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welcome pala sa mga bagong lider ng Kaya Natin! tulad nina Mayor Fermin Mabulo, Mayor Florante Gerdan, Mayor Jun Verzosa, Mayor Marivic Belena, Vice-Ma­yor Valente Yap, dating Mayor Mary Jane Ortega at da­ting Mayor Baby Congco. Dumadami na ang mga kasama­han nating naniniwala na pwede ang mabuti at maayos na pamamahala sa ating bansa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;Ipaabot po ninyo sa akin ang inyong pagtingin hinggil dito.

Love comes in many different stages. So when you think of the various stages of love you have to ask yourself are you holding someone back by not letting go? Are you holding yourself back by not letting go? Are you looking at life and situations with open eyes and an open heart?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;                 var curDiv = document.getElementById('ln5');                 curDiv.innerHTML = convert2url(curDiv.innerHTML);                 var links = curDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');                 for(var i = links.length; i &gt;= 0; --i) {                     if(links[i]) links[i].innerHTML = links[i].innerHTML.substr(0,30) + "...";                 }             &lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;                 var curDiv = document.getElementById('ln6');                 curDiv.innerHTML = convert2url(curDiv.innerHTML);                 var links = curDiv.getElementsByTagName('a');                 for(var i = links.length; i &gt;= 0; --i) {                     if(links[i]) links[i].innerHTML = links[i].innerHTML.substr(0,30) + "...";                 }             &lt;/script&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;" id="ln7"&gt;In a romantic relationship it is often know well in advance that the love has died out and the relationship will not progress for the better. As an individual you have to accept this first in your mind and then in your heart. Letting go does not have to be done in one quick swoop, unless you are being physically and emotionally abused, then a quick out is a must.
