Finally the long wait has ended. The Bibles arrived on May 28, 2008 via LBC.

These Bibles I ordered from RJ, since I have been searching all over the city of Davao to buy a New King James version authored by Thomas Nelson, but the only available was the smallest Bible NKJV and the rest was either Catholic Bibles and Old King James versions.

RJ ordered it from Amazon and I paid him using bank deposit, at first I have had a hard time what Bibles to choose, since all of them are very interesting and pretty. Anyway, I wanted one that is portable and has everything including maps etc...

Oh! some of the descriptions in Amazon are not accurate because the New King James version large print we chose (as indicated in the picture at Amazon) it has maps etc... but unluckily it wasn't. Anyway it is still a Bible, RJ wanted me to give a discount of P500 pesos from choosing a wrong Bible, but I told him “its ok” (I thought) since I was also involve in choosing the said item so whatever the billing he gets I should pay for it.

My lesson learned; always verify from the original site; for example we chose the Thomas Nelson NKJV Large Print, I must check the code item at Thomas Nelson website to make sure that the indicated descriptions at Amazon is accurate.

Here are the screen-shots:

I didn't regret buying all these Bibles since you can never easily find them here in our City locally, if so, it might have cost me more than 3k, because the smallest Bible available (3inches by 5inches) )in the store I saw already cost around P800 pesos, maybe the large print (9.7inches by 8inches) would cost around 2k.

The portable pocket edition from NIV is very cool!, the (duo) colored Italian leather feel so smooth and real. Its really worth buying and the paper is not that thin... galing nga eh! (^_^) sobrang ganda

If you're wondering how much I have spent from all of these Bibles, well its around 2k I can't give the exact amount as my transaction with RJ is not yet finalize (I did deposit around 2k to his account but he told me he will return the excess money if from his billing on June will charge less than the amount I deposited).

In the near future I might buy the Giant Print NKJV from Thomas Nelson, that has everything including the maps, concordance, family tree, etc... this time I will verify it from the Thomas Nelson website to be very sure.

As for now again the long wait has ended, I told myself am not going to buy any gadgets until the Bibles will arrive, so now I guess my dream of buying a new cellphone, laptop or digital Cam will be my next agenda. (^_^) ahihihi

Here's another blogging power: a tool to get JUSTICE;
it was on ABS-CBN news last night and I was surprise on how Brian Gorrell can get so much attention tru blogging. . .
The Brian Gorrell case: Blogging as a tool to get 'justice'

Some of his posts that I copied on his blog

This blog has come full circle.
In a short period of time.
Its amazing for me.

Even though I have yet to get my money back,
my other objective has been met.
Everyone knows that DJ Montano scammed me for 70,000 dollars.
ITS A FACT.
I have the proof.

The blog has been a surprise sensation.
For all of us.
The first television interview aired tonight.
The response has been huge.
Thank you for the support.

I have been contacted by bloggers all over the world.
We are all amazed at the growth of my blog.
It proves so many things about humanity as a whole.
We protect each other when we see a wrong being done.
We rally around the helpless, defenceless and scared.
People frightened by others.
Scared into submission.

Blogging will help change that.
It already has.
But it will only get bigger and better.
Information is the key to the future.
Newspapers will vanish soon.
As they should.


Bloggers have really gathered around me these past few weeks.
I owe them so much.
Their advice. The endless encouragement.
Their links. The help.

The exposure of my story on television has given my experience validity and the credibility it deserves.

Thank you ABS/CBN for looking closely at my facts and acting accordingly.

Being interviewed was strange.
But the film crew was beautiful and made the entire thing very easy.
I am a very private person.
But I am happy with the outcome.
Gigi was VERY good to me, as was her assistant.
Thank you Gigi for treating this story with respect and consideration.

I am overwhelmed by my fellow bloggers.
I have to keep saying it.
I know how hard they worked to get the word out regarding my plight.
Thank you very much.

Bloggers unite!
Safety in numbers.

No more anonymous comments.
Be counted please.

I will go to jail. NOT YOU!

Bloggers are changing the face of the world.
Blogs are a very real alternative to traditional forms of media.
We go to them for information.
We decide what we will take away as truth.
What is deception.

We have entered a new world.
A much more open world.
More inclusive.
Less oppressive.

We all have opinions.
We all need to be heard.
Blogging offers anyone with access to a computer the opportunity to put their message out into cyberspace.

So people like DJ Montano have to be careful now.

Because you never know when when someone will start a blog on you.
If you deserve one.

So keep your noses clean.
Treat others with respect and dignity.
Love your neighbours.
Respect your friends and lovers.
Don't steal.
Don't cheat.
Try not to lie.

Because no one deserves it.
No one deserves to lose everything at the hands of your boyfriend.
And nowadays, you could just wake up one morning and your dirty laundry is all over the Internet.

On a blog.
A blog about you.

So be good.

DJ, you still owe me 70,000 dollars.
When are you going to give it back?

No more anonymous posts.
Leave your name.
Its private.
I have the courage.
So should you.

More posts tomorrow.

Finally after 3 weeks of studying and learning PHP and MySQL its finish now

that is the link to my job well done that I got 96
This link is only available up to October this year it is just a temporary host

Graduation! hmmm Congrats to all the 2008 Graduates.
This may differ from all of my previous post, it is just that I can't get it off my mind so I guess will write it here to remind us what we are IN for this world... the planet called Earth.
The two students were drinking their last beer after the Seniors’ Prom marking their graduation. The following day their class would scatter to the four corners of the country. So this was their last beer until their class’s official homecoming ten years hence. The moment was almost solemn for Jonathan Richmond and Charlie Quarter. And, although they had never been very close during the preceding four years (their values and lifestyle were too contrasted to allow for deep friendship between them), nevertheless they felt the special significance of this time of separation...“All right, Jonathan,” Charlie said, “I’m ready to bet that when we meet in ten years’ time, I’ll be three times riches than you’ll be.”
Such a statement was pure Charlie Quarter. For it expressed perfectly the young man’s extremely competitive nature. Not just because Charlie was ready to bet on anything (he said it make life so much more interesting), but because he loved to humiliate his opponents by delivering them a crushing defeat whenever possible. And unfortunately, he was as unscrupulous as he was ruthless. As long as he won, he didn’t care what means he used to achieve his goal. Jonathan Richmond, on the other hand, always preferred cooperation to competition. Or if one insisted on using the term “competition,” he would always soften it into the expression “friendly competition.” Moreover, Jonathan was about the closest thing you could ever find to a really honest man. To his upright nature, deceit and crooked means were as unthinkable as a flash of lightning in a blue sky. And so, he felt no inclination to take up his classmate on the latter’s cocky bet, in the feat that such a bet would only incite him to be even more unscrupulous in the next ten years. However, since he didn’t want to offend Charlie during their last minutes together, he tactfully rephrased his companion’s proposal.

“Well, Charlie,” he replied with a friendly laugh, “you know I’m not much of a gambler. Never had the nerves for it. But maybe in ten years we can compare notes and see if both of us have made good, each in his line of business. Hopefully, we will have. And I’ll be the first one to drink a toast to your success, my friend.”
This conversation proved to be the two young men’s last contact until the homecoming ten years later. In the mean time each launched on in different directions, directions that differed with regard to their business careers and, even more so, with regard to their spiritual evolution.

Charlie Quarter began his career by opening a modest retail store with a partner. They sold computer equipment both hardware and software. Within a year, though, Charlie had managed to defraud his partner of his share of the business. Then he joined forces with another, bigger retailer, whom he likewise succeeded in swindling out of the partnership, thus ending up a wealthy man. After that he entered the manufacturing segment of the computer world and began producing equipments for his own chain of stores. From then on he contrived, by hook or by crook, to eliminate most of his competitors, forcing them out of the business by the most ruthless and dishonest means possible: industrial espionage, personnel raiding, labor unrest, and so on. Unfortunately for him, though, his unethical tactics eventually backfired against him. He was accused of breaking the copyright laws enshrined in the computer Software Act of 1980. Just before the date of the class homecoming around, he lost about everything he owned in a lawsuit. And so it was very chasten Charlie who faced Jonathan after their ten years’ separation.


The latter entered the business world with only one thing in mind: the service of the public. Being a deeply committed Christian, he had completely made his the teaching of Jesus on service: “you know that among the pagans the rulers lord it over them and their great man make their authority felt. This is not to happen among you. No; anyone who wants to be great among you must be your servant, and anyone who wants to be first among you must be your slave, just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mt 20, 26-28).

And so, imbued with the sole concern of serving the public, he looked around for ways and means of achieving his aim. Now, it so happened that at the particular time a website developing company, Angels on Vines, was on the verge of bankruptcy. Jonathan bought it, put it back on its feet, and soon transformed it into the most thriving concern in the entire Websites industry expanding in the process into a vast network of branches and offices, worldwide. How the young man achieved all this was direct result of his idealism, integrity and profound respect for his employees (whom he always called “associates”). Here are some of the methods he used in this connection.

First of all, from the very first day of his takeover of Angels on Vines, he stressed quality. To his stockholders he said year after year: “Quality is the first word in our motto. Growth is not our principal goal. Our goal is to be quality organization and do a quality job, which means that we will be proud of our work and products for years to come. As we achieve quality, growth will come as a result.”
With Jonathan at the helm, Angels on Vines became obsessed with quality. You asked officials at the company’s headquarters about personnel, they would talk quality; you asked about sales, they would talk quality; you asked about management, they would talk quality.

In this respect Jonathan had a simple philosophy: he wanted to give the best company service of any company in the world. To this end Angels on Vines guaranteed answering any customers complain in twenty-four hours. Jonathan read every complaint Email personally and answered it personally. His company guaranteed quality websites in all over the country and the whole world.

Towards his personnel Jonathan always acted with the utmost respect and consideration. Thus he insisted that at all levels of the organization all members were made aware of their essential contribution to the overall success of Angels on Vines. They were to be treated as adults and as partners, with dignity and respect. This meant that employees, once they wholeheartedly shared the values of service and quality at the heart of the company’s working principles, were given a wide scope of practical autonomy to get the job done. New ideas and new forms of experimentation were welcome, all this with a high tolerance of failure for those who risked innovations. All important communications were made face to face. Workers were given opportunity for career education, security in their positions, and easy access to any superiors. Finally, employees received constant “positive reinforcement” by means of incentives and rewards of all kinds: pens badges, buttons, medals, a ten percent bonus for a week’s punctuality, a “gold circle” for top sales persons, special “jubilees” for outstanding performers, honorary stars for no-absence months, and so on. In other words Jonathan provided initiative, direction, meaning he created among his “associates” a sense of excitement, of exuberance, a sense of being part of the best, a sense of creating something of quality that they could be proud of. And they were. For indeed, as Jonathan often stated publicly: “At Angels on Vines, we only make Websites; but it’s the best in the world. And so, the public is served and God is honored.”

The Chaplet of the Divine Mercy is a Roman Catholic devotion based on the visions of Polish nun/saint, Sister Faustina Kowalska, known as the "Apostle of Mercy", 1905-1938.
According to Sister Faustina's visions, written in her diary, the chaplet's prayers for mercy are threefold: to obtain mercy, to trust in Christ's mercy, and to show mercy to others.
Sister Faustina's vision:
Jesus Christ promised that all who recite this chaplet at the hour of death or in the presence of the dying will receive great mercy. It consists of a series of prayers said with the aid of rosary beads. The chaplet may be said without beads, typically by counting prayers on the fingertips.
Jesus said, ".... When they say this Chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between My Father and the dying not as the just judge but as the Merciful Savior".
Sister Faustina recounts in her diary that, in her vision, she saw an angel sent to a city to destroy it. Sister Faustina began to pray for God's mercy on the city and felt the strong presence of the Trinity. After she prayed the internally-instructed prayers, the angel was powerless to harm the city. In subsequent revelations, Sister Faustina learned that the prayers she spoke were to be taught to all the people of the world.
Jesus also promised that anything can be obtained with this prayer if it is compatible with His will. It is prayed daily at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, MA.

To Roman Catholic tradition, the chaplet may be prayed at any time, but most effective on Divine Mercy Sunday and Fridays at 3:00 PM. In 2000, Pope John Paul II ordained the Sunday after Easter Divine Mercy Sunday, where Roman Catholics remember the institution of the Sacrament of Penance.

The hour Jesus died by crucifixion, 3:00 PM (15:00), is called the Hour of Mercy. In novena, the chaplet is usually said each of the nine days from Good Friday to Divine Mercy Sunday.

The chaplet is associated with a Polish image painted by Adolf Hyla. Hyla painted to the visions Sister Faustina. In the image, Jesus stands with a hand outstretched in blessing. The other hand clutches the side wounded by the spear, from which proceed beams of falling light. The words “Jesus I Trust in You” usually accompany the image (“Jezu Ufam Tobie” in Polish).
