Good Read. -- copied from a friend :)

Professor :   You are a Christian, aren’t you, son?

Student    :   Yes, sir.

Professor :    So, you believe in GOD?

Student    :   Absolutely, sir.Professor :    Is GOD good?

Student    :    Sure.

Professor :    Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL?

Student    :    Yes.

Professor :    My Brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to  heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD  didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent)

Professor :   You can’t answer, can you?  Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD Good?

Student    :   Yes.

Professor :   Is Satan good?

Student    :   No.Professor :   Where does Satan come from?

Student    :   From…GOD…

Professor :   That’s right.  Tell me son, is there evil in this World?

Student    :   Yes.

Professor :    Evil is everywhere, isn’t it? And GOD did make everything. Correct?

Student    :   Yes.

Professor :   So who created evil?

(Student did not answer)

Professor :   Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the World, don’t they?

Student    :  Yes, sir.

Professor :   So, who created them?

(Student had no answer)

Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe The World around you. Tell me, son…have you ever feen GOD?

Student    : No, sir.

Professor  : Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?

Student    :  No, sir.Professor :   Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter?

Student    :   No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Professor :   Yet you still believe in HIM?

Student    :  Yes.

Professor :   According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist.  What do you say to that, son?

Student    :  Nothing.  I only have my Faith.

Professor :  Yes, Faith.  And that is the problem Science has.

Student    :   Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?

Professor :   Yes.

Student    :   And is there such a thing as Cold?

Professor :   Yes.

Student   :   No, sir. There isn’t…

(The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events)

Student    :   Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat,Mega Heat, White Heat, a Little Heat or No Heat. But we don’t have anything called Cold.  We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero Which is No Heat, but we can’t go any further after that.There is no such thing as Cold.Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat.We cannot Measure Cold.Heat is Energy.Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.

(There was pin-drop dilence in the Lecture Theatre)

Student    :  What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing asDarkness?

Professor :  Yes. What is Night if there isn’t Darkness?

Student    :  You’re wrong again, sir.   Darkness is the Absence of Something.You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light…But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and its Called Darkness, isn’t it?  In reality, Darkness isn’t.  If it is,You would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn’t you?

Professor :   So what is the point you are making, young man?

Student   :   Sir, my point is, your Philosophical Premise is flawed.

Professor :   Flawed? Can you explain how?

Student    :   Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. You argueThere is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD. You are Viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure.Sir, Science can’t even explain a Thought.  It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact thatDeath cannot exist as a Substantive Thing.Death is Not the Opposite of Life, just the Absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Students that they evolved from a Monkey?

Professor :   If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process,yes, of course, I do.

Student    :   Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where theargument was going)

Student    :   Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution atwork and Cannot even prove that this Process is an On-Going Endeavor,Are you not teaching your Opinion, sir?Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?

(The Class was in uproar)

Student    :  Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?

(The Class broke out into laughter)

Student    :  Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’sbrain, felt it, touched or smelt it?…

 No one appears to have done so.So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have No Brain, sir.  With all due respect,sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The Room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his faceunfathomable)

Professor :   I guess you’ll have to take them on Faith, son.

Student    :  That is it sir…Exactly!The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH.That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.

 That student was ALBERT EINSTEIN.

Checkmate. :)

Napunta ako sa situation na hindi nko makaalis non, nagawa ko na, so dapat ko na harapin yun, dahil don, nagsulat na naman ako, habang nagte-take ng calls. nakakatawa pero nakakalibang. :))

Minsan naisip ko ang buhay natin ay parang chess,
touch move, pag nhwakan mo na kelangan mo nang galawin, 
prang sa buhay pag napasok ka sa isang sitwasyon kelangan mo nlng hrapin ang katotohanan na andun kana, oo mdalas mgsisisi ka, pero ano nga bang magagawa mo e andun kna e. kapag natouch move ka, kelangan mong isipin ang goal mo, e bkt nga ba ako naglalaro ng chess? pano ako mananalo? naglalaro ako ng chess para magenjoy, at pano ako mananalo? edi dapat macheckmate ko ang kalaban ko!

Naglalaro ako ng chess para magenjoy so dapat ang buhay ay ineenjoy.

Ang first move sa chess, e ang first move mo para makamit ang goal na check mate, 
pag nagkamali ka don, pwedeng ma-2 or 4 moves ka lang ng kalaban, talo kana.
so mas mgnda na simulan mo ang laro ng magandang first move, kase dun magsisimula ang lahat. Sa buhay, pag nagsimula ka ng mgandang move, maganda din ang ending neto, pero pano kung first move plang mali na? hindi mo na ito mababalik oo, pero first move plang e, mahaba pa ang laro :)

Sa chess, kelangan ng strategy, kase pag wala ka non, malamang mabilis na mttpos ang laro, sa buhay kelangan ng diskarte, kase pag ngkamali ka, kelangan mo na gumwa ng paraan para baligtarin ang sitwasyon, mdalas kase kala mo panalo kana, dami mo pa pieces, yun pla gumwa na ng strategy ang kalaban para macorner ang king mo at mgugulat ka nlng checkmate kna pla? tsk tsk tsk. 

Sa bawat move ggwin ntn, merong regrets, pero sa bawat regret, merong lesson. hindi mo na kayang ibalik pa ang move na yun na sanang makakapag panalo sayo, pero dapat natutunan mo sa susunod, isipin mo muna ang gagawin mong move, kase baka pagsisihan mo yun habang buhay.

Sacrifice ang pawn, sacrifice ang bishop, ang rook at minsan ang queen, para lang sa checkmate, sa buhay, minsan nagsasacrifice din tayo para lang makamtan natin ang goal natin, example? edi ung mga panganay na nagwowork nalang para sa kapatid nila na makatapos, sacrifice para sa pamilya, Ganun talaga. Goal = Check mate eh.

Pero ang iba kahit matatapos na ang laro,at alam nilang talo na sila, nagiging positive parin. Baka nga naman kase magkamali pa ung kalaban eh, manalo pa sya.

Pero sa totoo lang, kahit matalo ako sa laro, okay lang. Maglalaro nalang ulit ako! Maglalaro ako ng maglalaro hanggang sa makuha ko ang goal ko. Kasi hindi sa lahat ng laban, panalo tayo, minsan talo din. Kelangan lang natin maging sports at bumawi sa susunod. :)

Tsong, Mate kana.

sumisikat parin ang araw. :)

i tried to write again... weird. thanks Marcelo :)) trial number 1.

Ako si Nik, Part time call center agent. Ang pasok ko lagi ay bago mag-6 ng umaga, kaya lagi kong naabutan ang pagsikat ng araw pag dadaan ako sa footbridge, minsan nga pinipicturan ko pa kahit malalate na ako. Sumikat ulit ang araw, hatid ang bagong pag-asa para sa kahit sinong tao.

Sumisikat ang araw para sa mahihirap, sa mayayaman; sa malungkot, sa masaya; sa may sakit, sa malusog; sa mabuti, sa masama; sa nangangarap, sa hindi; sa nakakakita, o kahit sa bulag pa. Kahit sino ka pa, sisikat ang araw para sayo hatid ang bagong pag-asa na may magandang mangyayari sa araw na yon. E paano kaya kung hindi na sumikat ang araw para sakin? Wag naman. Kase hindi ko pa sya nakikilala.

Araw-araw habang tumatawid ng footbridge, naiisip ko yan. Kelan ko kaya sya makikilala? Ngayong araw kaya? O bukas? Sa susunod na araw? Paano kaya kame magkakakilala? Magkakabangga? May maiiwan akong gamit tapos ibibigay niya sakin? Yung parang sa movies kaya? O... baka naman... kilala ko na pala sya pero hindi ko alam na kame pala?.. Labo. Pero ang alam ko, sumisikat din ang araw para sa kanya. Atleast, may pinagkaparehas kame. :)

Sino nga kaya sya? Halos dalawang taon narin, nang huling sumikat ang araw na may kasama ako... Mabilis na lumipas ang dalawang taon na yun, pero sa halos dalawang taon na yon na sumikat ang araw, walang dumating. o baka naman may dumating pero hindi ko namalayan?
Labo, dalawang taon ba ulit ang hihintayin ko? Ang tagal naman. Nakakainip.

Sa palagay ko, totoo ang sabi nila, may kanya kanya tayong kanya. Pero iniisip ko, paano kaya yung matatandang dalaga at binata? Namatay na kaya yung para sa kanila? O pinili nila yun? O tumanda nalang sila kakahintay? Nakakalungkot naman isipin kung magiging isa ako sa kanila balang araw. Wag naman. Kase gusto ko talaga sya makilala.

1,2,3,4,5. Isa lang ako sa maraming naghihintay ng para sa kanila. Yung laging nagtatanong ng kelan, yung umaasa na isang araw may dadating o may aamin. Ewan, pero ang alam ko, basta sumisikat ang araw, may pag-asa parin.

Ako si Nik, at patuloy na sumisikat ang araw para sa akin. :)

sorry, :)) bored ako brownout kase kahapon :))
