I couldn’t think more than an appropriate title than this one (sorry no pron).. This new has been a frenzy not only here in the Philippines but probably whole Asia or even the world (especially those those who import China products). It is because of the melamine substance

I’ll repeat again its not melanine, melanin, melamin, its melamine. Now , melamine is a chemical substance used it in creating and manufacturing plastic materials (I will not put the scientific terms for this). So that is the issue all about and can you imagine that these substances are being added to MILK, I mean what the..??!! Are these really those the solution the Chinese can think of decreasing their population??!!

I mean those Babies, their just babies, they dont know that they consuming tupperware chemicals (plastic). Its just unhumane. If those manufacturers or people behind are just doing these to get profit, they better drink it themselves. I really dont mean to be emotional but seeing this happen to my future baby (far soon), I could nuke them for crying out loud.

Products today are being recheck, re-examine, even banned from other countries. I hope this will end soon or many more will suffer especially the babies.

Nothing to Say

It’s been more than 6 months since I have graduated from college, but it seems like a very long time for me. I have been working since I graduated and as far as I know, everyone from my batch has a already a job. It’s nice to know that everyone is working hard in the pursuit of there goals and dreams (that includes me of course). I am just wondering how they are doing right now, come to think of it, I still miss my college days where I see everyone studying hard, making endless projects, a little politics (it exists), romance, food (Manokan, siomai, puso (hanging rice), just about everything.

I really have plans in taking a short trip to school (hoping the guards would still let me in). Just to roam around, strolling around the hallway, littering around, sitting in benches, watching other students pass by (then look for interesting views (for guys)).

I remember one of my professors in college said that it is really different when you are out in school and it will not ever be the same again, it is “the real world” that we will be facing after we graduate (if ever). And she is damn right about it, I mean your mindset is very different when you are still in school. In fact, I am concerned more on the little things that I mostly ingnored while in school like fares, food, money, goals, dreams. I mean I have to decide carefully to do a particular choice and its significance if it will benefit me or not most especially in money, I dont receive anymore allowances like before so my spending different before, It is not the same when the money you spend is only given than the money that is earned from yourself.

Ahem, I think I am lost to my topic, where was I again??..Oh yes, I’m still reminscing my college days, just what I have said that changes really are constant. I really dont expect to change this much myself but it is inevitable. Though I always say to my self that this is all the journey, I dont limit my self in accomplishing certain goals and ambitions, it is continuous and more and more challenges will come into my life (that includes you too). I have seen my classmates now pursuing different goals, one is to find that special someone, to careers, relationships and most important is their spiritual relationships. I am just glad and blessed that I have gone through those challenges before. College has been a really good time for me to learn not only educational but in all aspects in life though it is not perfect (with ups and downs). As what I said earlier, it is all a journey, the “journey of life”

School Prayer in Schools Removed???

“The prayer in school debate began in 1960. When a case was brought before the courts in Baltimore Maryland, a case that centered on the son of Madalyn Murray O’Hair was forced to take part in school prayer. The prayer in school debate centers on the principle that is the separation of church and state. Her lawsuit, combined with the actions of the American Atheist Organization, removed prayer from schools in the sense that it could not be led by any member of the faculty.

Along very similar lines, prayer has been removed in many instances from convocations in public schools. If prayer in school is going to happen, it must be led by students and generally must be silent. The prayer in school debate has grown and the most recent case barred clergy led prayer – invocations and benedictions – at public graduation ceremonies.

Although the prayer in school debate continues to be an issue and has led to the questions on the use of “under God” in the pledge, prayer in schools has continued. It generally must be student led and not faculty led. Some schools have chosen to “ignore” the laws and still have a prayer before sporting events, but that is rare. For the most part, the prayer in school debate is no longer a debate. If a student wants to pray in school, it must be silent and personal. “

I am actually terrified by this actions, as a Christian especially here in the Philippines. Prayer is the most demonstrated action in schools. The school starts with a prayer before anything else. Prayer is the most powerful weapon a human can wield in all things and situations. Though most prayer in schools are redundant, it doesnt take the fact that we are still praying in spite of these. There is no really correct form or grammar for prayer as long as it comes from the heart.

Though this case is only isolated. We must be aware that any form of prayer is bad or a form of task. We are given this privilege to sxpress ourselves no matter what religion or where we perform our prayers.
