class acts

Our ability to help one another
must be matched by actual
practice .

It is not enough to speak
of good deeds.

We must make them a
facet of our lives."

"It was a class act of a different order, but a class act nonetheless,
for writer Laurence Housman to take off his jacket at a proper
English tea party so that a man who had just arrived in shirt
would not feel embarrassed."

-Life's Work by Francis J. Kong

Habang nasa bus ako kanina pauwi, i saw a lot of class acts. little acts, you might call it, but then it is an act to recognize. Isang babae ang nagbigay ng upuan niya sa isang ale na nakatayo kasama yung dalawa nyang maliit na anak. Kahit na babae din sya, madami syang dala, at malayo pa ang pupuntahan niya, pinaupo pa din nya ung ale.

May isang lalaki na nakatayo sa bus. Antok na antok na sya. tingin ko nga makakatulog na sya kahit nakatayo. May bumaba sa Libertad kaya nakaupo na din sya. sa wakas. Hindi pa man sya nakakatulog, may lalaking sumakay na may bitbit na maliit na bata. Wala na silang upuan kaya pinaupo nung lalaki ung mag-ama kahit antok na antok na sya at gusto nyang makatulog sa byahe.

I don't know these persons by name. It is my first time to see them.
But I respect their little good deeds. I acknowledge it in my own way.
They've touched me.

8 People Who I Want to Meet.

1. BENNY HINN
I like to see him up-close and personal. He's touched many people's lives and has brought many souls to Jesus. He must be really a great disciple of God. A great annointing of the Holy Spirit will surely come to place.


2. ANGELINA JOLIE
She's a bad girl before, but she's changed a lot! She's now the UN Ambassador of Goodwill and splits 1/3 of her salary to charities. She's adopted abandoned kids from Cambodia, (and from Africa, I think) and gave them a decent family. Annnd, i want to see how pretty she is!
"The imbalance funding in the world makes
no sense to me" -Angelina Jolie.


3. JESSICA ALBA
she was raised as a Catholic and still considers herself "spiritual". In her adolescence, she became a born-again Christian, but left the church. (wikipedia) I want to bring her back to the Christian community. The church is not all about against-premarital-sex.

"when older men would hit on me, and my youth pastor said it was because I was wearing provocative clothing, when I wasn't. It just made me feel like if I was in any way desirable to the opposite sex that it was my fault, and it made me ashamed of my body and being a woman."

Sayang. coz she is a girl with priciples. She has gained the respect of the Hollywood community and has become an inspirer to many people. All that's lacking is a close ralationship with God.


4. NATALIE PORTMAN
Beauty and brains! I don't even know what's more of her, beauty or brain. She's got it both. I looked up to her when she chose not to make films or much tv appearances (except for Starwars) for her to concentrate in her studies. She's a Harvard cutie. Blimey, she can speak different languages. She inspires and motivates me to pursue my studies and prioritize it (ofcourse, God will forever be unbeatable at the top!), and at the same time.. look good. lol! :)


5. BRAD PITT
He will forever be my ultimate crush! whatever he's age is, i don't care. He's my crush. I liked him more when Angelina Jolie became his girlfriend. When will they get married?


6. LINDAY LOHAN
I liked her during her "Parent Trap", "Mean Girls", and "Just My Luck" years. For me, she is so talented and versatile actress. YET, she ruined her life and career. She got addicted to parties and alcohol (even drugs). She became accustomed to courts, jails and rehabs. Ew. She is so troubled now. I wonder why. I want to meet her to know why.


7. PARIS HILTON
Paris started to enter the Hollywood limelight with a bang. Her publicity started when her "homemade sex video" leaked out into the public. A not-so-decent-start right? And she even continued that image. Her friends became her foes because of the usual boyfriend-stealing issue .. and she is always said to be the one who steals. She has a collection of parodies.
I want to know if she's happy with what's going on with her.
Now, she shares the same limelight with Lindsay Lohan. Same court, same jail. tsk tsk.


8. CHRIS EVANS
Simply because he's so hot! :) He's the next Brad Pitt for me!

I got the informations about these people mostly from wikipedia and imdb.com.

GLORIETTA EXPLOSION

Bloody hell! what happened to me a while ago,October19,2007, was a near-death experience!! we were at glorietta2 while ago for some shopping. i went there looking for shoes and clothes. then, after lunch, we went to landmark coz it is the mall near the terminal. it was just barely 30minutes after we left g2 when we heard an explosion. damn. all the people were so scared. we immediately went out of landmark when i saw a man soaked in his own blood! he waslying on the floor! he removed his shirt because his head was bleeding freakly. Oh my gosh. it was really a scary scenario. all the people were running away from g2. my mom and i were bursting to get away from the vicinity just like all the other people because many of them were so scared that another explosion might take place. the policemen and the bombsquad responded in just a blink of an eye. honestly, that made me more nervous. all the people were really in panic. even my mom did not know how are we going to go home because the terminal was just so near g2, and the last thing we'd ever do is to go near that place. Thanks to God that a bus going to Cavite suddenly appeared out of the blue.

I can never forget my experience a while ago. i suddenly had a deep appreciation of my life. i've realized that any moment, you can be dead, your loved ones can be dead in just one flash. we never know when will God take our lives. As i watch the flash news on tv and see the ruins of a once-beautiful-place two hours ago, i remembered that we could have been one of the victims there. I thank God so much that He never ceased to protect us.i know that God spared my life for a reason. Enjoy every single second of your life, coz you dont know when will it end. God Bless.
