UP Going Cold Turkey

Cold Turkey- A smoking cessation strategy that involves abrupt cessation of smoking. Used alone, only 5% to 7% of smokers will remain abstinent long-term.

The shock of my life came when I saw the notices posted at Vinzons Hall banning smoking in UP. A no smoking policy inside the building is reasonable enough but every other place I can think of where one can smoke such as parking lots, tambayans, gardens are still off limits to smokers. What the hell? Is this still UP?

The horror!!!

Roel Pulido: A Loose Cannon?

A lawyer has been gaining a lot media mileage in the past 2 weeks. Roel Pulido has filed a case against JDV and his son. Then he filed a weak and questionable impeachment complaint at the Lower House against Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. He seems like a loose cannon with his statements and actions. A resounding question is upon us: What happened to Roel Pulido?

Who is Roel Pulido?

Ahmadinejad Misquoted?

This just in.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad drew the ire of many after he delivered his speech at Columbia University in the United States about a month ago. Mr. Ahmadinejad was quoted, through a translator, as saying that in Iran, there are not homosexuals and that Iran does not have that phenomenon.

Shortly after that appearance, Mr. Ahmadinejad has gained many haters and has actually become the subject of many parodies and satires, one of which was Saturday Night Live’s “I Ran,” which poked fun at him and the non-existence of homosexuality in Iran.

Now, Reuters reports that the Iranian president’s media adviser has claimed that Mr. Ahmadinejad was mistranslated: Continue Reading >>>

Subject: An October Favor

Hi,

I am going to ask probably the biggest favor I’ve ever asked of you yet. I won’t ask for money or blood =)

Fr. Stephen Cuyos, MSC ( www.stepehncuyos.com) and I ( www.mabutingbalita.net) collaborated to record (do a podcast of) the rosary in Tagalog and posted it online so anybody can download it for free. Our aim is to get more people to pray the rosary, specifically in Tagalog (though any language would be fine as long as the devotion is practised.). October is the month of the Holy Rosary and we figured that this would be a timely  resource for anybody who would like to pray/know Ang Santo Rosaryo.

This is not link bait to get traffic going to our site. You do not even need to mention our names/blogs. We would just like to maximize the people we reach and the lives Jesus will touch through Mama Mary. We’ve placed the files at:

http://www.archive.org/details/HolyRosaryTagalogVersion

Last I checked, there were 228 downloads since we’ve posted the announcement in our blogs. Wouldn’t it be great if mp3 players contained these files too – praying while commuting or waiting? How about the Filipinos abroad who would like to teach their kids Filipino prayers? Or maybe some parish or organization would need assistance to teach praying the rosary?

Any help in spreading the word and devotion would be highly appreciated.

May our Mother, Mary, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary watch over you and intercede for your concerns.

Thanks and God bless.

Joining Yoko Ono in Imagining Peace (Justice for Councilor Armin Marin)

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one

- John Lennon, Imagine

Yesterday, Yoko Ono celebrated the 67th birth anniversary of her husband, John Lennon, by unveiling the Imagine Peace Tower in Iceland. According to the Reuters report, Ono created this light sculpture as a birthday gift for the revolutionary Beatles leadsinger. From now on, it will light up the Icelandic sky each year from October 9th to December 8th (the death anniversary of the revolutionary Beatles leader who was assassinated outside his New York apartment). During the unveiling ceremony, Ono said, I hope that when the light from the tower will shine, the world will pause for a time and imagine peace.

But first things first, What is peace?

Peace be with you!
For those of us who hear(or used to hear) mass regularly, we are aware of the part of the mass where we offer each other the sign of peace. I’m sure you’ve also noticed that the word peace appears in many parts of the mass. We say it in the Gloria when we say, Glory to God in the highest and peace to his people on earth. And the priest says it immediately after the Lord’s Prayer when he says, Deliver us, Lord, from every evil, and grant us peace in our day. And so again, I ask the question, What is peace? What is this peace that we offer each other and that we always pray for?…  Continue reading…
