Iraq’s peaceful election could be a start of peace

For how many years, the war in Iraq seems no end. People living in this messy country hope to find peace and prosperous ways of living, but it seems that the more the years grow old the more it became worst. Perhaps even when I’m not yet born, the controversial fight in Iraq has already been started. Some says that the main reason of the war is because of the religion. It might be true, but for now that we are experiencing global crisis we are hoping that this controversy will be over.

The newly elected US President Barack Obama was very happy knowing that Iraq was finally holding a peaceful election. Who would not be happy about the news? In fact I am too is very happy knowing it. We might been far away from Iraq but if we would let this things to happened, every nation would be affected because there would be possibilities that the Iraqi terrorists would invade any other countries since we are all connected as part of the UNITED NATION.

With the news about the peaceful election in Iraq, we are hoping that this would be the stepping stone to have a peaceful and brighter Iraq community. With the newly elected leaders, perhaps Iraq would be intelligently ruled and will eventually have a good future ahead.

Overcoming the Worldwide Crisis

Lately when I’m at work my sister chatted me, telling me that our youngest sister was having problems with her tuition fee. Our youngest sister is hopefully graduating this coming March and we can’t wait for that day. My aunt who is living now in UK Scotland is the one who supported my sister in school. But lately, I was saddened with the news I heard from my mama. My aunt only sent enough money for my sister’s tuition fee. My mama never expects it because every time my aunt sends us money, it is more than the tuition fee she gave to my sister. My aunt said crisis there continuous to grow and she faced dilemmas how to budget her money. Indeed I understand my aunt, because here in our country also we faced crisis every now and then. We can never deny the fact that despite how big our salary, it is never yet enough how to use this money wisely. Tsk… tsk… tsk… I hope someday we can overcome this worldwide problem that we have right now.

Barack Obama against the Abortion Issue

Curious about the updates of America, so I crept on my computer and explored the internet about the situation of the country since Barack Obama just sit down on his new position. The first black American president ever happened in the history of America. Very excited, I immediately type-in his name and the search engine leads me to BBCNEWS.

I was appalled with what I read. Since after the inauguration of the president, Obama was already been bombarded with controversies and issues, well not unless he were not a prominent person. Anyways, according to what I read Obama was been criticized over the issues regarding the abortion matter. It was stated that the president was signing on the orders that ban on abortion funds without the coverage by the media.

Some people in America are against the issue since they believed that Obama is trying to allow abortion legal as the best way to control population increase. But there are groups who were also agreeing in Obama’s point of view because it seems to them that American women are given the freedom whether they should abort or not in any circumstances.

What do you think of this issue? If abortion would be legalized, do you think it would help retrieve the economic downfall of America?

Rain says: It's not over yet!

Waaaa... After last night, I was thinking that the rain would never come back. Then I was wrong. When I wake up this morning, the rain starts pouring again. Cold wind starts to blow, and I started to feel worry. Not only because of the unfortunate flood victim people, also because I couldn’t wash my clothes, especially my uniforms. What happen to our weather here? It seems that the rain has never an ending. Could it be possible that it will continue until next week? Oh God please don’t let it be. I miss the sun, when is he coming back? Goodness it can’t always be like this. I really hope that next week, the rain will pity on us and give the sun to shine again.

Heal our city make it a better place

After four days of the spontaneous rain that devastated our city, at last the rain stopped. Though there is a bit sun flickering above, still the cold breeze of the wind never stops us to worry of thinking maybe the bad weather isn’t over yet. After those horrifying flood, heavy rains and strong angry wind numerous properties are damaged. A lot of families are housed in the different evacuation center, families who were victims of the said calamity. Finally, the battle against this natural disaster is over. But is it really over? Perhaps it is for this day however, it wouldn’t be over unless we stop abusing our mother earth. The abusive cutting of trees in the hinterland of our city is one of the many factors why we had experienced this kind of phenomenon, various subdivisions established in the mountainside is the second. There are in fact a lot. Previously, the city is rich with green lushes. But as the years continue to grow old, the city never look any good anymore, it even look more worst every single of the day. Despite the innovative technology introduced and already widely used in the city, the battle would never end against this disaster if we will continue ignoring the significance of our environment.

Rain rain go away!

Since last night, the rain never stops yet and I couldn't stop thinking of my workmate since they have been one of those victims of the flood just last week. Our neighboring sitio was once again been devastated with the atrocious flood and I'm pity of them. Though I can say we are fortunate compared to them but we are still affected with the phenomenon. As a neighboring sitio we can't just stare on these people and do nothing, but it is as well our responsibility to lend a hand to them. I just hope that the flood occurred will never be the same last week, which left various damages of houses.

Jo's Manok; Best Chicken Restaurant

This time I will share to you my experienced eating one of the best cuisines I've tasted here in our city. I actually have been eating many times in this chicken restaurant but I don't have the time of taking some pictures on their specialty because I don't previously own a camera. Fortunately I already owned one now, so the moment we ate there which was before New Year celebration I never let the time taking the foods we ate. This chicken restaurant by the way serves mainly chicken cuisines though they also served sea food like crabs, fish and among others. By the way, this chicken restaurant is mainly located in our city Cagayan de Oro City Philippines in Yacapin Street. This chicken restaurant is famously named as "Jo's Manok".

On the other hand, below are some of the foods we ate in "Jo's Manok" restaurant

Jo's Manok Specialty; "Chicken Inato"

Ahhh... cold Ice Tea!!!

Holy Black Nazarene

Every year month of January, the ninth day of the month is the commemoration of the Black Nazarene. The famous statue of Jesus Christ which has a black façade due to the various calamities it had overcome. Accordingly, the original color of this holy statue was white, however because of the atrocious events that it encountered such like earthquakes, fire and bombing the holy statue’s color turned into black. Fortunately, despite those phenomenons this incredible holy statue was never been physically damage though its original white color turned to black.

It has been said that this Black Nazarene is believed to be miraculous and it can cure different type of illnesses and grant devotee’s prayers. Recently today, the increasing populations of the Black Nazarene devotees continue. The original Black Nazarene is housed in Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene particularly in Quiapo, Manila, Philippines. Today it already has two replicas, the original is permanently housed in the latter Minor Basilica, the other was designated somewhere in Luzon and just recently the 2^nd replica was designated in Mindanao, particularly in Cagayan de Oro City.

Just this day the commemoration of the feast of Black Nazarene was successfully held in both regions of Luzon and Mindanao. As expected countless of devotees are joining the procession.

In Connection with the Epiphany Commemoration

I just went to church today and felt relieved after the mass. But what I have been getting out from the homily is the commemoration of the Epiphany or the Three Kings which was in connection with the tragic tragedy happening in our city at this moment. Yes indeed, our neighboring sitio is unfortunate of having been devastated with the great flood because of the simultaneous rains here in the past days. Perhaps you were wondering what would be the connection of the Epiphany homily in this tragic phenomenon. The homily was trying to pinpoint that Epiphany is not just about celebrating the giving gift of the three kings towards Jesus but it also enlighten our minds that in this recent moment you, me and everyone of us are considered as the three kings who were accountable in sharing gifts to this unfortunate flood victim people. There are countless people nowadays that need our help. In fact, if we are keen enough to see our surroundings you will be amazed and realized at the end that we are blessed of having been abounding with various graces God has given us. And because of this, it would be our time to share these blessings to others just like what the three kings have done during the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. So, even just at this moment, be one of those three kings who were sincere enough to lend a hand to others who needs your help.

Caught at heart by the "Twilight" movie

I have been wondering what would be the story behind this famous and talked in town movie “Twilight” why there are millions of movie goers watching this. In fact, the movie is still been release in some of the movie houses in our city. Since I myself was intrigued by the movie, I never passed my curiosities to watch the movie. Now I know, after I watched twilight why people seem their eyes are formed of hearts because the movie was totally amazing! You will be in-love with the sweet words Edward Cullen uttered to Bella. How sweet he is! Hahahaha… Call me crazy but I love the movie. Even me, if I were Bella who have a sweet, caring and loving boyfriend like Edward I’ll never mind his being a vampire. After all, behind his horrible characteristics as what people are expected, lives the heart that knows what love is in a very sincere way. Anyways, for those who haven’t seen the movie yet here is the sweet trailer I get from Youtube which I find sweet and captivating.
