It's a rainy Sunday night. I got nothing to do so I made this video. =))

Poleteismo??

So everyone is talking about the now famous Mideo Cruz. Some find it Art (which does not include me) and others find it offensive. Mideo (with some people who call themselves artist) said that it is indeed an art. "This speaks about objects that we worship, how we create these gods and idols, and how we in turn are created by our gods and idols,". Cruz said. Now, if it is an ART, then why do people curse him to death? Is it really a masterpiece with a message of how hypocrisy is being served in church? Is it offensive? Yes. It is offensive and disrespectful. It is very demoralizing seeing the arrangement of the so-called art in such a disgracing manner. Art is parallel to appreciation. Such things can’t be appreciated by moral people. I am not always on the side of church specially if it has something to do with beliefs and their stand against what is good and what is practically better. Somehow, being a catholic, raised by a pure catholic family and guided by nuns as i grew up studying in a sectarian school, I find the so called artwork not an art at all. I believe, that work of knack (okay, okay..) can be rearranged into something not disrespectful but still delivers the same meaning. If he wants to impose something by disgracing 80% of the Filipino people, do so. Just be ready for the consequences of such actions.

SOULFUL RELATIONSHIP

SOULFUL RELATIONSHIP By Rev. Ronald McFadden

If you’re not married yet, share this with a friend. If you are married, share it with your spouse or other married couples and reflect on it. An African proverb states, “Before you get married, keep both eyes open, and after you marry, close one eye.” Before you get involved and make a commitment to someone, don’t let lust, desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or a low self-esteem, make you blind to warning signs. Keep your eyes open, and don’t fool yourself that you can change someone or that what you see as faults aren’t really important. Do you compliment and compromise with each other, or do you compete, compare, and control? What do you bring to the relationship? Do you bring past relationships, past hurt, past mistrust, past pain? You can’t take someone to the altar to alter him or her. You can’t make someone love you or make someone stay. If you develop self-esteem, spiritual discernment, and “a life”, you won’t find yourself making someone else responsible for your happiness or responsible for your pain. Manipulation, control, jealousy, neediness, and selfishness are not the ingredients of a thriving, healthy, loving and lasting relationship! Seeking status, sex, wealth, and security are the wrong reasons to be in a relationship. What keeps a relationship strong? Communication, intimacy, trust, a sense of humor, sharing household tasks, some getaway time without business or children and daily exchanges (a meal, shared activity, a hug, a call, a touch, a note). Leave a nice message on the voicemail or send a nice email. Sharing common goals and interests. Growth is important. Grow together, not away from each other, giving each other space to grow without feeling insecure. Allow your mate to have outside interest. You can’t always be together. Give each other a sense of belonging and assurances of commitment. Don’t try to control one another. Learn each other’s family situation. Respect his or her parents regardless. Don’t put pressure on each other for material goods. Remember for richer or for poorer. If these qualities are missing, the relationship will erode as resentment, withdrawal, abuse, neglect, dishonesty, and pain replace the passion. The difference between ‘United’ and ‘Untied’ is where you put the i
