bodies."


"Thou shall not kill. Thou shall not commit adultery. Don’t eat pork. I’m
sorry, what was that last one?? Don’t eat pork. God has spoken. Is that the
word of God or is that pigs trying to outsmart everybody?"

that you tried."

Sex is Good

August 16th, 2005 by robstroy

This is hilarious!   Be sure to read the warning at
the bottom. I didn’t change a word! I’m not messing
with the Sex Fairy!

  1. Sex is a beauty treatment. Scientific tests find that when women make love they produce
         amounts of the hormone estrogen, which makes hair shine and skin smooth

  1. Gentle, relaxed lovemaking reduces your chances of suffering dermatitis, skin rashes and blemishes. The sweat produced cleanses the pores and
    makes your skin glow.
        
        
  2. Lovemaking can burn up those calories you piled on during that romantic
    dinner.
        
        
  3. Sex is
    one of the safest sports you can take up. It stretches and tones up just about every muscle in the body. It’s more enjoyable than swimming 20 laps, and you don’t need special sneakers!
        
        
  4. Sex is an instant cure for mild depression. It releases endorphins into
    the bloodstream, producing a sense of euphoria and leaving you with
    a feeling of well-being.
        
        
  5. The
    more sex you have, the more you will be offered. The sexually active body
    gives off greater quantities of chemicals called pheromones. These subtle
    sex perfumes drive the opposite sex crazy!
        
        
  6. Sex is
    the safest tranquilizer in the world. IT IS 10 TIMES MORE EFFECTIVE THAN VALIUM.
        
        
  7. Kissing each day will keep the dentist away. Kissing encourages saliva to wash food from the teeth and lowers the level of the acid that causes decay, preventing plaque build-up.
        
        
  8. Sex actually relieves headaches. A lovemaking session can release the tension that restricts blood vessels in the brain.
        
        
  9. A lot of lovemaking can unblock a stuffy nose. Sex is a natural antihistamine. It can help combat asthma and hay fever.
        
        

Yes, sex is Good but it became bad when it was done outside of
marriage. Sex is sacred indeed it is the gift of God. Be sure to have
sex only with your spouse and not your nieghbor’s spouse. Do not commit
adultery or pre-marital sex, for what you sow is what you will reap.

What is a Blog

August 11th, 2005 by robstroy

A Blog is short for weblog, a blog is an online journal  that is updated on a regular basis. It is  a web page that can be updated instantly by the  user and  depending on what type of blog  script  you  have,  visitors  can also add comments to your blog.

Postings on a blog are almost always arranged in chronological order with the most recent additions featured most prominently.  Happy Blogging!

President Arroyo’s State of the Nation Address 2005

August 5th, 2005 by robstroy

   
    
   
   

 


Every
year, we meet on this day in this great hall to celebrate democracy and
take stock of the nation: the country and its condition; the government
and its performance; the people and their well-being. 

Ours
is a country divided; the story of our nation is a tale of two
Philippines; almost, as it were, two countries under the same name.

One
is the Philippines whose economy, after long years of cumulative
national endeavor, is now poised for take off. The other is the
Philippines whose political system, after equally long years of
degeneration, has become a hindrance to progress.

As a country
on the verge of take off, our storyline would surprise many at home and
abroad. The story includes an economy that grew more than 6% last year
and that has continued to work in the teeth of the biggest oil price
hikes in history, while generating 4 million jobs in the last four
years.

The story includes marked improvements in tax
collections, infrastructure, housing construction, shelter security for
the urban poor and indigenous peoples, and rice productivity.

 

The
story includes 69 million beneficiaries of health care insurance,
including 30 million indigents, whose re-enrollment started early this
year and is still ongoing.

That same story, over four years, saw
the drug menace cut in half, the rash of kidnappings become a thing of
the past, and insurgency in the south abated.

This story should
work itself out as one about an economy as resilient and full of
potential as its people are patient and hardworking, guided by a
government – with the executive and the legislative hand-in-hand –
that is able to pass a no-nonsense budget and make tough decisions to
put our Fiscal House in order.

I specially refer to our recent
titanic struggle to enact the three laws that comprised the biggest
fiscal package in our history, the biggest revenue increase in a
generation. That will break the vicious cycle of financing development
by borrowing and having to borrow again just to service those loans.
This is the one reform that will snap the chain that has bound our
future to a profligate past and the debt-burdened present. The
Filipino’s strong sense of family has given Congress a stronger resolve
not to pass on today’s debt, and bankrupt our children and
grandchildren tomorrow. That struggle has done the House and the Senate
great honor. Congratulations.

Abroad, the story continues. We’ve
worked long and hard to restore our country to the prominent place it
once held as co-founder of the United Nations and the free world’s
first line of defense in the East. We won a seat in the UN Security
Council, where we presided over the landmark resolution calling for
democracy in Iraq. The Philippines chaired the historic Conference of
Interfaith Cooperation for Peace at the UN, the fruit of a bold and
creative initiative by your Speaker of the House.

 

We head the
APEC anti-terrorism task force. Our victories in the war on terror have
been acknowledged by no less than President Bush before the U.S.
National Defense University. The Jemaah Islamiya and the Abu Sayyaf can
only pick up the pieces of its broken backbone in Mindanao.

We
have worked with the organization of the Islamic conference to forge
peace with our Muslim brothers. Eighty percent of our peace talks with
them have been completed. Permanent peace in Mindanao is within reach.

Indeed,
our story as a country on the verge of take off is real. Analysts need
only to look at our stock market, and even the peso-dollar exchange
rate, to sense the strong anticipation of significant improvements, if
only we would overcome the tendency to be our own worst enemy.

 

Thus,
with investors both here and abroad in mind, I invite you all to join
me in sending them a strong message from this great hall: we will not
waver in our commitment to economic reform and fiscal discipline,
whatever the political cost.

The other message to send is that
we will address the burden that the other Philippine story imposes on
our anticipated take off. I refer to the story of how our political
system has now become a hindrance to our national progress.

Over
the years, our political system has degenerated to the extent that it
is difficult for anyone to make any headway yet keep his hands clean.
To be sure, the system is still capable of achieving great reforms.
But, by and large, our political system has betrayed its promise to
each new generation of Filipinos, not a few of whom are voting with
their feet, going abroad and leaving that system behind.

Perhaps
we politicians have done our best; but maybe our best is not enough,
given the present system. Perhaps we have strained the present
political system to its final limit.

It is time to turn to the people, bring them into government — and change the way that government is done.

The
people want government that works for them at every level. They want
good government that begins at their doorstep in the barangay, and does
not end before the closed door of a bureaucrat in Metro Manila.

The system clearly needs fundamental change, and the sooner the better. It’s time to start the great debate on charter change.

We
must address such questions as how much more government is needed for
the greater safety and economic security of our people, and how much
less government is more conducive to free enterprise and economic
progress.

The mode of Charter Change is the exclusive
prerogative of Congress. But a Constituent Assembly may well give our
people the quickest reforms.

I shall work with Congress, civil
society groups and local government executives who are convinced that
Charter Changes are needed to enable the country to surmount the
unprecedented challenges of the 21st Century.

I take this
opportunity to acknowledge the local government executives who have
brought about an LGU power revolution through transformative leadership.

The
economic progress and social stability of the provinces, along with the
increasing self-reliance and efficiency of political developments and
public services there, make a compelling case for federalism.

Perhaps it’s time to take the power from the center to the countryside that feeds it.

I
recognize that our form of government will be the decision of the body
constituted to undertake Charter change. But we should consider that
legislation could be quickened and laws made more responsive to the
people under a Parliamentary system, similar to that of our progressive
neighbors in the region.

But even as we make a serious start in
Charter change, I hope we can still work together on other initiatives
to the lasting benefit of our people.

In the area of education,
we’ve spent our increased resources on better trained teachers in more
classrooms, teaching students in more effective ways. We have laid a
strong foundation by building almost 30,000 classrooms in the past four
years, providing computer access to more than 3,000 high schools, and
beginning a "healthy start" breakfast program for our young
schoolchildren.

I ask Congress to pass the pre-need code to
rehabilitate, reform, and regulate the pre-need educational programs
that worked so well in the past as a major vehicle for youth education
entitlement.

College education is the great Filipino dream.
But in a world of rapid technological change, getting a job or keeping
it depends as much on how well one reasons as how well one uses his
hands. I have issued E.O. 358 so that hours spent in vocational
training can be credited towards a college degree. That will combine
job readiness with the dream of a college education while increasing
the competitiveness of our nation.

But our competitiveness is
greatly endangered by the global oil crisis. I call on Congress to pass
legislation encouraging renewable and indigenous energy.

 

In
the area of national security, I urge the swift passage of an
anti-terrorism law that will protect rather than subvert, enhance
rather than weaken, the rights and liberties that terrorism precisely
threatens with extinction.

These examples serve to highlight that there is much work to be done.

Now
is not the time for divisiveness, and while there’s no avoiding
partisan politics, there can be a determined effort by all sides to
limit the collateral damage on a country poised for take-off.

 

Let us call on the Lord to lead us. Let us ask him for the grace to make us worthy of his healing our land.

Alam
kong tayong lahat ay naghahangad ng isang makabuluhang pagbabago para
sa ating bayan. Tayong lahat ay nagsisikap para matamo ang kapayapaan
at kaunlaran. Kung kaya’t ako’y nakikiusap na tulungan ninyo ako, para
sa kapakanan ng taong bayan.

We may disagree among ourselves
but let us never lose sight of that greater battle for one people, one
country, one Philippines.

Not the country of this or that president but the Philippines of our shared and passionate affections.

Maraming salamat sa inyong lahat.

Going Back to School???

May 14th, 2005 by robstroy

   

Next month is June, the start of school days, last night I thought
about going back to school and reminiscing my school days when I was
still a student. I can see myself rushing for riding a jeepney to
school with new pair of shoes, new jeans and shirts, and new school
paraphernalia, which made me eager to go to school every start of the
school year.

Ahh
man… I just love going back to school; I just missed those days where
we cut from our designated classes to go to the mall doing some
shoplifting (hahaha… that was before) or going to our classmate’s house
food tripping and drinking a lot of beer and watching movies on VHS.
VCD’s and DVD’s are rarely available that time.

Those exam
days where we used to cheat when we don’t know the answers, using a lot
of techniques in cheating. Ohh boy… If only I have the extra money to
get my self enrolled at the University, but life changes and we have
our new priorities in life.

I am now belonged to the corporate
world. I need to focus on my present job, even though it has a low
salary but I enjoyed it. Hope someday I get a high paying job or maybe
I can go abroad but, naaaaa… I don’t think I can survive when I am away
from my homeland, I think I will miss my love ones here. It’s killing
me being far away from them. Or maybe I’ll till our land in Bohol doing
farming jobs, I think that’s a good idea, I will be the Boss of our
land but if ever that will happen, I’ll have to say bye to my Blogging
hobbies, uhuhu… Well, anyway that would be my last option. For now I’ll
just do a lot of blogging and work to earn money and leave the past
behind… I miss you School!!! Speaking of work, I think I need to go
back to my work now. Hehehe… was spending the break for blogging… work
I am coming…. “comment naman kayo dyan”… ciao…

Quality of life

May 8th, 2005 by robstroy

The better your thinking ability, the better you are at differentiating between valid information and garbage, and the better you’re able to communicate with others, the more successful you’ll be in every aspect of your life — business and personal, physical and mental. Because together these skills, or attributes, can: 

  • Substantially reduce any tendency you might have to be fearful of life. 

  • Change a habitual negative outlook to one that is positive.
  • Get you into the habit of turning inward for solutions to problems, where they always are, rather than outward, where they never are.
  • Bring to you the realization that you, and you alone, are responsible for what happens in your life.
  • Prevent verbal sickness and improve your health in general by changing your outlook.
  • Reorder your priorities for the better.
  • Rearrange your hierarchy of values for the better.
  • Give you the ability to focus on the important things in life while ignoring the unimportant ones.
  • Make you more selective in choosing which ideas to admit into your mind and which to deny passage to. 
  • Improve the belief system through which you screen all entering ideas. 
  • Keep you from wasting time entertaining false ideas. 
  • Reduce the likelihood that others will be able to further their own best interests at your expense.
  • Reduce or even eliminate any tendency you might have to feel guilt.
  • Make it extremely difficult for others to kill your dreams.
  • Make it extremely difficult for others to intimidate you through words alone.
  • Make you more self-reliant.
  • Increase your self-confidence.
  • Give you a better understanding of people.
  • Purge your mind of the accumulated garbage dumped on you by others.
  • Free you from bondage to bits and pieces of what is nothing more than pure mythology.
  • In short, they can transform you by "the renewing of your mind." 

OK. Where do we go from here?

Netiquette….

May 5th, 2005 by robstroy

   
    
   

   

 

It
seems nowadays more people in any age bracket use the internet, like
chatting, e-mailing and surfing the net. I observed that there’s a lot
of internet users don’t have the right manners or don’t observe
netiquette that includes me, sometimes. So here’s its ten principles I
got from a reference:

   

 

   

  1. First      impressions.
    The agreed formula is to begin with the name of the addressee: don’t
    use the fuddy-dudy “Dear Rob,” but simply “Rob.” A cherry “Hiya” is
    over-familiar. Simply launching into your message is unduly abrupt,
    unless the two of you are regular correspondents rapidly sending
    messages back and forth.
  2. Mind your      manners.
    NEVER WRITE MESSAGES IN CAPITAL LETTERS – it’s considered the internet
    equivalent of shouting. Because e-mail takes place in the absence of
    the recipient, it lacks the inhibition imposed by their presence (even
    if only on the phone), so it’s easy to be rude or think that e-rudeness
    doesn’t count.
  3. Think before      you send.
    E-mails fired off in haste may cause lifetimes of repentance. Before
    you press that button, pause. Do you really mean that insult, threat or
    offer of money? Would you like to get your message you’re about to
    send? Are you prepared to honor any offers or threats you make?
  4. You’ve got      mail.
    Always check your messages. Only a fool would leave his post lying
    around unopened or not listen to his answering machine. The same
    applies to your e-mail inbox. There is a film producer who hands out
    his e-mail address but says, “Don’t bother e-mailing me. I never check
    it.” Why have it in the first place?
  5. Cyberspeak      with care.
    Picasso was a technically brilliant draughtsman, so when he painted
    women with both eyes on one side of their heads he did so as a matter
    of creative choice. Similarly, you should not write e-mails in
    abbreviated or poor English – such as “c ya tonite” or “lol”, meaning
    “laugh out loud” – unless you have demonstrated a grasp of the real
    thing. Otherwise you risk being exposed as a fake.
  6. Don’t      techno-bully.
    The internet has its own snobbery, and Web geeks can be terribly rude
    to those less computer literate. The considerate e-mailer, however,
    never looks down on those who can’t work the latest gizmos and checks
    with the recipient that they have the equipment required to read a
    message or open an attachment. It is not a crime to be baffled by the
    Web, particularly since its greatest express are often baffled by real
    life.
  7. Beware mass      mailing.
    It is never flattering to receive an e-mail then discover it has been
    sent to hundreds of others. Mass mailing is acceptable when sending
    jokes or invitations, but unacceptable as chain letters. If you have to
    send a message to everyone in your address book, keep the other names
    hidden using blind carbon copy (bcc), unless you know they are friends
    or colleagues.
  8. Say something      nice.
    Some etiquette experts feel that invitations, acceptances and
    thank-yous should be sent via old fashioned post. I disagree. Moreover,
    a positive e-mail, be it words of congratulations or affection, can
    brighten the day.
  9. Never e-dump      lovers.
    On the other hand, it is bad form to give anyone the heave-ho by
    e-mail. If you must write, rather than see them face to face, it is
    more respectful to do so by hand. The casualness of e-mail is as
    insulting as it is dismissive.
  10. Write for the      record.
    Use e-mail as a chance to recreate the joys of letter writing.
    Telephone conversations vanish into the ether, but all the e-mails
    you’ve ever send or received are sitting on a hard disk. Who knows?
    Others may want to read them some day. So remember      to put some care into your respondence.

   

 

   

Now, you have the knowledge about netiquette; use it to avoid offence online…
