Quotes from the first Aquino president

I am facinated by the quotes, speeches and others from the first Aquino president. Both Ninoy Aquino, Jr and Corazon Aquino have one and the same common denominator. They were great orators in their time.

Having to quote first the sayings of Corazon Aquino thus:

I've reached a point in life where it's no longer necessary to try to impress. If they like me the way I am, that's good. If they don't, that's too bad.

I would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life.

Reconciliation should be accompanied by justice, otherwise it will not last. While we all hope for peace it shouldn't be peace at any cost but peace based on principle, on justice.

The media's power is frail. Without the people's support, it can be shut off with the ease of turning a light switch.

One must be frank to be relevant.

National leaders who find themselves wilting under the withering criticisms by members of the media, would do well not to take such criticism personally but to regard the media as their allies in keeping the government clean and honest, its services.

You have spent many lives and much treasure to bring freedom to many lands that were reluctant to receive it. And here you have a people who won it by themselves and need only the help to preserve it.

Maybe this is one way of telling them how much it means not only to me but to all of us who love our democracy and who are searching for the truth.

I know I will receive a lot of criticism for this but I will do what I think is right for our country.

Do you have table manners?

A lot of people I met usually don't have any table manners. Having a good manners on table will give you edge over the others. You stand out and make a good impression on everyone especially to your partners, bosses and to totally strangers.

The benefits of such manners is discussed in this link.You may visit www.mannersinternational.com containing good resources for manners and etiquette.

I am now working as a supervisor of a department store here in a city. The time my first day of duty, I was assigned to the footwear section. It is the department wherein a lot of customers coming in to buy shoes. Now this post is all about quotations related to shoes as follows:

Anti GMA 7

Nothing is fair with regards to news reporting involving religious personalities like Bro. Eli Soriano and Kuya Daniel Razon. This unethical attitude is evidently seen as Clavio deliever those kind of news related to the said person.

Since GMA 7 is not affiliated with KBP or Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas,  or they refuse to be affiliated, then the hope of being fair and unbiased journalism is unclear. In fact, they even malign the personalities behind the program Ang Dating Daan. The station's officials are affilated with Iglesia ni cristo as Inc's lost hope the battle of religious debate for over the last decade. So GMA 7 is controlled by the Inc.

But whatever happens, pious members of MCGI have nothing to fear behind this tactics. It is just a desperate move of Bro. Eli Sorino's detractors.

Finding old friends

As I am constantly searching for old friends in elementary and high school, I was surprised to see them via facebook. I am getting the chance to look back my yesteryears of being a child then.

It's a good thing to go remember things that we were together. Before we parted our ways, we spent a lot of time playing games in the ground. No computer games available yet at that time.

We have got the chance to play and have some sweat on our own. On which nowadays, the disadvantage of today's computer games. Hmmm... I just don't know what I am saying in this post.

I miss everything in Apalit

What I miss most in Apalit? Let me metion: thanksgiving, worship services, prayer meetings, practice with orchestra, being at live in Bible Expositions, prayer at the Chapel, everything about inside the ADD Convention Center.

Also with the people I meet for about two years. Classmates, group mates, batch mates, and everyone. With the La Verdad Christian Colleges officials, students, visitors. The smell of the places, the happy faces, the joyful dance steps, and everything.

Hoping that in the near future, may the good Lord lead me to be in Apalit town again. I really miss the place as I am listening to Yiruma's My Heart Sent To You piece.
