DEFICIÊNCIAS
Mário Quintana

'Deficiente' é aquele que não consegue modificar sua vida, aceitando as imposições de outras pessoas ou da sociedade em que vive, sem ter consciência de que é dono do seu destino.
'Louco' é quem não procura ser feliz com o que possui.
'Cego' é aquele que não vê seu próximo morrer de frio, de fome, de miséria, e só tem olhos para seus míseros problemas e pequenas dores.
'Surdo' é aquele que não tem tempo de ouvir um desabafo de um amigo, ou o apelo de um irmão. Pois está sempre apressado para o trabalho e quer garantir seus tostões no fim do mês.
'Mudo' é aquele que não consegue falar o que sente e se esconde por trás da máscara da hipocrisia.

(1581 - 1671) was a Sultan of Maguindanao in the Philippines. During his reign, he successfully repelled the Spaniards to conquer his villages and hindered the Christianization of the island of Mindanao. He was a direct descendant of Shariff Kabungsuan, a Muslim missionary who brought Islam to the Philippines between the 13th and 14th century.The Philippine province of Sultan Kudarat is named after him.

As they say, love is real, no matter how u feel, no matter you don't see it.

LIVING ALONE AND FARAWAY: It is very fulfilling when things are goin great in your life... when everything is are easy upon your reach, sumptous food, jolly friends, happy family, good health and happy situations... but circumstances are not always pleasant. There are bits of things your heart always longs for -- the warmth love of your life... What do u do when the love seems a thousand miles away?

Lapu-Lapu (1491 — 1542) was the datu of Mactan, an island in the Visayas, Philippines, who is known as the first native of the archipelago to have resisted Spanish colonization. He is now regarded as the first Filipino hero.

On the morning of April 27, 1521, Lapu-Lapu and the men of Mactan, armed with spears, kampilan and kalasag, faced Spanish soldiers led by Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan. In what would later be known as the Battle of Mactan, Magellan and several of his men were killed.

Bakit ang tawag ng mga ibang lahi sa mga FILIPINA SA DOHA ay TAXI INTERNATIONAL....

We went this morning to Philippines Embassy for the passport processing of my son and I am impressed for the improvements (1) New entrance- di na sa likod ng villa, (2) Additional service tables pagpasok mo ng embassy- di kailangan pumila sa iisang window (3) Mabilis na pagprocess ng papers- pagkabayad ko ng fee, diretso agad sa loob to verify the name of my baby, (4) while waiting napansin ko rin staffs are very courteous in answering phone calls. In less than an hour natapos na processing…Kudos to our new Amba and the Phil Embassy staffs, sana po tuloy tuloy ang pagbabago sa ikabubuti ng lahat…

I just had to post this...from an editorial

THE kids watched as I tightened a shoe lace along one of Cagayan de Oro city’s poorer but remarkably clean-swept barangays. A tutorial on urban sociology was the last thing I expected.

“My mother is in prison,” volunteered Clara, 7. Why? “Shabu,” she said matter-of-factly. Paula, 6, claims a neighbor rival tipped off the cops. “Her mother burned all the shabu before the police arrived.”

Will you visit her in the Davao jail? “We have no money. But my lolo has been released.” He’d also been in the clink for drugs. “He often beats us though,” Clara gripes.

They proudly point to “our school.” Paula likes to color. “But I have no Crayolas.” Clara’s schoolbag has a book and a pencil. Nothing else.

Știe cineva de ce trusturile Antena au ajuns să-l atace pe Costel Busuioc, zidarul din Spania ce a câștigat concursul "Hijos de Babel"?

Este o obișnuință ca presa română să atace orice conațional ce ridică puțin capul în lume dar chiar și așa am rămas uimit de atacurile de la știrile Antena 1 împotriva lui Costel Busuioc: e un zidar care nu știe de unde a plecat, care refuză colaborări cu cântăreți români cunoscuți pentru că nu se ridică la nivelul pretențiilor lui, că nu-și mai vizitează nevasta și copiii etc etc.
