Bakit Sigurado ka Hindi papalapit ng kaibigang Babae
ng tagumpay sa mga kababaihan ay hindi dumarating o nakikipag-ugnayan sa mga babae
sapat.
Narito ang 3 excuses na namin ang lahat ng may hindi bababa sa isang beses sa aming
buhay na kung saan ay ginagamit para sa hindi dumarating:
"Hindi ko alam kung ano ang sinasabi ng"
"Ako natatakot"
"Ito ay sa maling konteksto" (o logistic excuse: siya makaupo,
siya sa telepono, ang isang kaibigan ay dumating lamang bago ako nilapitan, ako
hindi magkaroon ng panahon, atbp ..)
Subalit, maaari ko bang sabihin para matiyak na ito ay walang kinalaman sa pamamagitan ng alinman sa mga ito.
Makikita mo, ang dahilan kung bakit hindi ikaw ay papalapit na ay lamang na kayo
walang anumang integridad. Oo, walang integridad, zero, nada.
Maaari kong marinig mo sinasabi: "Ngunit DRH, Ako ay isang matapat na moral at tao
at sa pamamagitan ng ang paraan kung ano ang ginagawa nito na gawin pa rin sa mga pick-ups? "
Lahat ng bagay, ang aking mga kaibigan.
Hayaan ninyo akong ipaliwanag.
Hindi ko na pakikipag-usap tungkol sa integridad bilang matapat, ako ng pakikipag-usap tungkol sa
pinapanatili ang iyong salita. I-said: ginagawa kung ano ang sasabihin mo ay mo kapag sasabihin mo makikita mo
gawin ito. Karamihan sa mga tao ay hangarin na lamang panatilihin ang kanilang mga salita kapag sila ay
bayad na gawin ito o kung may isang panganib para sa hindi paggawa nito.
Korporasyon magkaroon ng higit na kapangyarihan kaysa sa bansa dahil sila ay malaki
machine na gumawa ng mga tao na panatilihin ang kanilang mga salita at kung ano na ang mga ito
dapat na gawin, kapag sila ay dapat na.
Ngunit, sa labas ng trabaho o sa paaralan, kung ano ang ginagawa mong panatilihin ang iyong mga salita?
Basahin mo ng isang post sa Linggo gabi tungkol sa isang guy na nakilala sa kanyang bagong
kasintahan matapos na papalapit sa kanya sa subway.
Ikaw ay maging abala, alam mo na ito ay maaari, ito ay kung ano ang iyong
nais, alam mo na sadyang dapat sa iyo tulad ng kahit sino sino pa ang paririto at sabihin sa iyo upang
ang iyong sarili: "Bukas ako ng papalapit na ang susunod na hot girl matugunan ko sa tube!"
It's Lunes umaga, ikaw ang platform naghihintay para sa iyong
tren para makapunta sa trabaho at may kaakit-akit ito blonde. Hanapin mo sa kanya
kaakit-akit. Kayo ay isang dakilang taong may mabuting puso at alam mo na
na gusto mo lamang sa kanya kahit na siya ay isang estranghero.
Pero pagkatapos, napagtanto mo na siya asta "taob", gaya ng "siya ay hindi gusto
na nilapitan "at ikaw ay maging sa trabaho sa 10 at hindi mo
gusto "upang kunin ang panganib na maging huli" pag-iisip matapos ang lahat ng "ay siya ay may
bukas ".
Kaya, hindi mo na lumapit sa kanya at ikaw ay sa iyong desk at 9:30 empunto.
Ikaw ay nag-iingat sa iyong salita sa iyong boss ngunit hindi ka pa nag-iingat ang iyong mga salita sa
sa iyong sarili. At ang aking mga kaibigan, na ang tanging dahilan sa ikaw ay hindi sa antas ng
kalayaan, kasiyahan at kapangyarihan sa mga kababaihan na alam mong karapat-dapat sa inyo na maging in
Kapag binuksan mo ang pagsunod sa iyong mga salita sa iyong sarili at patuloy na gawin
kung ano ang sasabihin mo ay mo kapag sinasabi mo na ikaw ito, kaakit-akit mga bagay-bagay
ay magsisimula sa mangyari.
Ang bawat pagkabigo na ako ay nagkaroon o magkakaroon pa rin ng sa aking buhay ay pababa sa
isang bagay at isang bagay lamang: hindi pagsunod sa aking mga salita sa pamamagitan ng hindi ginagawa kung ano ang alam ko sa aking puso ang dapat kong gawin. Oppositely, ang bawat tagumpay at kasiyahan ay
ang resulta ng pagkakaroon ng lubos na integridad at mapanatili ang iyong salita.
Papalapit na ito ay hindi tungkol sa overcoming takot, may karapatan pambukas

Mi Ultimo Adiós by Jose Rizal in Filipino
Mi Ultimo Adiós by Jose Rizal in Filipino
Adios, Patria adorada, region del sol querida,
Perla del Mar de Oriente, nuestro perdido Eden!
A darte voy alegre la triste mustia vida,
Y fuera más brillante más fresca, más florida,
Tambien por tí la diera, la diera por tu bien.
En campos de batalla, luchando con delirio
Otros te dan sus vidas sin dudas, sin pesar;
El sitio nada importa, ciprés, laurel ó lirio,
Cadalso ó campo abierto, combate ó cruel martirio,
Lo mismo es si lo piden la patria y el hogar.
Yo muero cuando veo que el cielo se colora
Y al fin anuncia el día trás lóbrego capuz;
Si grana necesitas para teñir tu aurora,
Vierte la sangre mía, derrámala en buen hora
Y dórela un reflejo de su naciente luz.
Mis sueños cuando apenas muchacho adolescente,
Mis sueños cuando joven ya lleno de vigor,
Fueron el verte un día, joya del mar de oriente
Secos los negros ojos, alta la tersa frente,
Sin ceño, sin arrugas, sin manchas de rubor.
Ensueño de mi vida, mi ardiente vivo anhelo,
Salud te grita el alma que pronto va á partir!
Salud! ah que es hermoso caer por darte vuelo,
Morir por darte vida, morir bajo tu cielo,
Y en tu encantada tierra la eternidad dormir.
Si sobre mi sepulcro vieres brotar un dia
Entre la espesa yerba sencilla, humilde flor,
Acércala a tus labios y besa al alma mía,
Y sienta yo en mi frente bajo la tumba fría
De tu ternura el soplo, de tu hálito el calor.
Deja á la luna verme con luz tranquila y suave;
Deja que el alba envíe su resplandor fugaz,
Deja gemir al viento con su murmullo grave,
Y si desciende y posa sobre mi cruz un ave
Deja que el ave entone su cantico de paz.
Deja que el sol ardiendo las lluvias evapore
Y al cielo tornen puras con mi clamor en pos,
Deja que un sér amigo mi fin temprano llore
Y en las serenas tardes cuando por mi alguien ore
Ora tambien, Oh Patria, por mi descanso á Dios!
Ora por todos cuantos murieron sin ventura,
Por cuantos padecieron tormentos sin igual,
Por nuestras pobres madres que gimen su amargura;
Por huérfanos y viudas, por presos en tortura
Y ora por tí que veas tu redencion final.
Y cuando en noche oscura se envuelva el cementerio
Y solos sólo muertos queden velando allí,
No turbes su reposo, no turbes el misterio
Tal vez acordes oigas de citara ó salterio,
Soy yo, querida Patria, yo que te canto á ti.
Y cuando ya mi tumba de todos olvidada
No tenga cruz ni piedra que marquen su lugar,
Deja que la are el hombre, la esparza con la azada,
Y mis cenizas antes que vuelvan á la nada,
El polvo de tu alfombra que vayan á formar.
Entonces nada importa me pongas en olvido,
Tu atmósfera, tu espacio, tus valles cruzaré,
Vibrante y limpia nota seré para tu oido,
Aroma, luz, colores, rumor, canto, gemido
Constante repitiendo la esencia de mi fé.
Mi Patria idolatrada, dolor de mis dolores,
Querida Filipinas, oye el postrer adios.
Ahi te dejo todo, mis padres, mis amores.
Voy donde no hay esclavos, verdugos ni opresores,
Donde la fé no mata, donde el que reyna es Dios.
Adios, padres y hermanos, trozos del alma mía,
Amigos de la infancia en el perdido hogar,
Dad gracias que descanso del fatigoso día;
Adios, dulce extrangera, mi amiga, mi alegria,
Adios, queridos séres morir es descansar.
Mi Ultimo Adiós by Jose Rizal in
Farewell, my adored Land, region of the sun caressed,
Pearl of the Orient Sea, our Eden lost,
With gladness I give you my Life, sad and repressed;
And were it more brilliant, more fresh and at its best,
I would still give it to you for your welfare at most.
On the fields of battle, in the fury of fight,
Others give you their lives without pain or hesitancy,
The place does not matter: cypress laurel, lily white,
Scaffold, open field, conflict or martyrdom's site,
It is the same if asked by home and Country.
I die as I see tints on the sky b'gin to show
And at last announce the day, after a gloomy night;
If you need a hue to dye your matutinal glow,
Pour my blood and at the right moment spread it so,
And gild it with a reflection of your nascent light!
My dreams, when scarcely a lad adolescent,
My dreams when already a youth, full of vigor to attain,
Were to see you, gem of the sea of the Orient,
Your dark eyes dry, smooth brow held to a high plane
Without frown, without wrinkles and of shame without stain.
My life's fancy, my ardent, passionate desire,
Hail! Cries out the soul to you, that will soon part from thee;
Hail! How sweet 'tis to fall that fullness you may acquire;
To die to give you life, 'neath your skies to expire,
And in your mystic land to sleep through eternity!
If over my tomb some day, you would see blow,
A simple humble flow'r amidst thick grasses,
Bring it up to your lips and kiss my soul so,
And under the cold tomb, I may feel on my brow,
Warmth of your breath, a whiff of your tenderness.
Let the moon with soft, gentle light me descry,
Let the dawn send forth its fleeting, brilliant light,
In murmurs grave allow the wind to sigh,
And should a bird descend on my cross and alight,
Let the bird intone a song of peace o'er my site.
Let the burning sun the raindrops vaporize
And with my clamor behind return pure to the sky;
Let a friend shed tears over my early demise;
And on quiet afternoons when one prays for me on high,
Pray too, oh, my Motherland, that in God may rest I.
Pray thee for all the hapless who have died,
For all those who unequalled torments have undergone;
For our poor mothers who in bitterness have cried;
For orphans, widows and captives to tortures were shied,
And pray too that you may see your own redemption.
And when the dark night wraps the cemet'ry
And only the dead to vigil there are left alone,
Don't disturb their repose, don't disturb the mystery:
If you hear the sounds of cittern or psaltery,
It is I, dear Country, who, a song t'you intone.
And when my grave by all is no more remembered,
With neither cross nor stone to mark its place,
Let it be plowed by man, with spade let it be scattered
And my ashes ere to nothingness are restored,
Let them turn to dust to cover your earthly space.
Then it doesn't matter that you should forget me:
Your atmosphere, your skies, your vales I'll sweep;
Vibrant and clear note to your ears I shall be:
Aroma, light, hues, murmur, song, moanings deep,
Constantly repeating the essence of the faith I keep.
My idolized Country, for whom I most gravely pine,
Dear Philippines, to my last goodbye, oh, harken
There I leave all: my parents, loves of mine,
I'll go where there are no slaves, tyrants or hangmen
Where faith does not kill and where God alone does reign.
Farewell, parents, brothers, beloved by me,
Friends of my childhood, in the home distressed;
Give thanks that now I rest from the wearisome day;
Farewell, sweet stranger, my friend, who brightened my way;
Farewell, to all I love. To die is to rest.

Tropical Rainforest - features and facts about the tropical rain forest
The Tropical Rainforest is the earth's most complex ecosystem. The tropical rain forests are forests with tall tress, warm climate, and lots of rain It is characterized by abundant of precipitation and year round warmth. According to Wikipedia "A Tropical rainforest is a tropic ecosystem and are usually found around the equator. They are common in Asia, Australia, Africa, South America, Central America, and Southern Mexico and on many of the Pacific Islands"
The tropical rain forest is a hot, humid forest biome near the equator, with much rainfall and a wide variety of organisms. Temperature in the tropical rain forest is always warm and rain falls year round Benefits of tropical Rain forest
Features/characteristics of the Tropical Rain Forest
1. The tropical rain forest lie in the tropics
2. The rain forests receive at least 80 inches of rain every year
3. The tropical rain forest has a canopy formed by ranches and leaves of trees in the forest.
4. There is a very high level of biological diversity in the tropical rain forest.
5. Great symbiotic relationship exists in the tropical rain forest.
Facts about the tropical Rain forest
- The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon rainforest.
- Amazon rainforests produce about 40% of the world's oxygen
- One in four pharmaceuticals comes from a plant in the tropical rainforests
- 1400 rainforest plants are believed to offer cures for cancer
- 40% of tropical rainforests have already been lost in Latin America and Southeast Asia
Important Facts about the Tropical Rain Forest
Despite covering only 2% of our planet's surface, over half of the earth's animal, insect species, and flora live there.
Within a four mile square area of a tropical rainforest, you would find:
- Over 750 species of trees
- 1500 different kinds of flowering plants
- 125 species of mammals
- 400 species of birds
- 100 reptiles
- 60 amphibians
- countless insects
- 150 species of butterflies **Only 1% of these species has ever been studied**

Important quote on Tropical Rain Forest
-"My personal love of the tropical forest is older than my realization of their scientific importance. It started when I lived for six months in the cathedral-like splendor of the forests of the upper Iriri in central Brazil, a shadowy world of great beauty without direct sunlight. That was then a region unexplored by Western man, teeming with wildlife, where you could push through dense undergrowth to broad rivers that had never been seen by any non-Indian.. More recently, on the Maraca Rainforest Project at the northern edge of the Amazon basin, I witnessed the amazing wealth of another uninhabited and undisturbed forest. We found several hundred species of creatures new to science - and indication of the amazing genetic wealth that remains to be discovered, and a reminder of the need to protect all types of forest. To protect the forests, we must protect the tribal people who have evolved a way of life in sustainable harmony with their habitat. I have studied the tragic history of countless tribes that have fought and suffered and are now extinct. During the two years that I have worked with Brazilian Indians, I have experienced the absolute quiet of sleeping in communal huts, fishing with Mehinaku, trying to keep up with walking Chavante, and the idyllic life in an Asurini village. Their struggle for survival must become our struggle too."- John Hemming - Director and Secretary of the Royal Geographical Society in London

Hurricane: How does hurricane form?

Hurricanes usually form in the summer or early autumn when several key atmospheric ingredients come together. Contrary to common belief, many factors other than warm ocean water cause hurricanes to form. In fact, the water is always warm enough in the deep tropics for hurricanes to form all year long. During the winter and spring, upper air winds are hostile, and usually do not allow tropical cyclone development. So, what does it take for a hurricane to form?
The ingredients for hurricane formation
- 1. Pre-existing Disturbance or low pressure area must have formed in the low levels of the atmosphere to start winds converging and uplift.
- 2. Warm Water to a sufficient depth to support the energy that a hurricane will use. The threshold temperature for tropical cyclone development needs to be about 26.5º Celsius or 80º Fahrenheit. A water column depth of about 50 meters or 150 feet deep is required.
- 3. Low Stability will allow deep convection or cumulonimbus clouds to build to great heights in the atmosphere. A stable air mass will inhibit cloud development and not allow for significant cloud growth to support the deep convection needed for a hurricane to develop.
- 4. Coriolis Force The disturbed area of weather needs to be at least 4-5º away from the equator. This is the approximate distance from the equator for the Coriolis force to achieve a gradient wind balance to sustain the low pressure area.
- 5. Moist Mid Level of the atmosphere. If there is dry air aloft it will weaken or choke off the updrafts in the cumulus clouds.
- 6. Low Vertical Wind Shear from the surface to upper troposphere. This allows for the thunderstorm clouds to build to great heights. If the wind speed increases or changes direction with height, the cumulonimbus clouds get deformed and can not sustain the hurricane heat engine.
- 7. Divergence in the upper Atmosphere This allows for the transport of mass away from the hurricane that is brought in at the low levels of the atmosphere.
Hurricane Formation
If the conditions above are met sufficiently, showers and storms will start to gain organization as low level winds converge toward the center of the low pressure area. The cluster of convection will start to form bands. As the convection increases, the warm air near the surface rises and cools. As it cools the water vapor condenses. There is a tremendous amount of heat produced from the condensation of water vapor. Some of this heat warms the center region of the low. As the temperature of the air near the core rises it produces lower pressure. In response to this lower pressure, winds increase in intensity. A tropical storm forms when the surface winds reach sustained winds of 39-73 mph. A hurricane officially classified as the winds reach sustained values of 74 mph. Even if all of the ingredients of a hurricane are in place, it does not guarantee that a hurricane will form. Many of the factors in hurricane formation exist in the tropics, especially in the heart of hurricane season. Despite this, very few disturbances actually develop into a hurricane.

Hurricanes are also formed by warm moist air rising over the ocean. Hurricanes begin to form off the Atlantic coast of Africa, and move, due to prevailing winds, toward the Southern United States and the Caribbean. Hurricanes are long lived, and grow in intensity as they move over warm ocean water. Hurricanes can take one of three paths. Some draw near the Atlantic coast of the US and move northward, dying out over the ocean before they ever reach land. Some can strike the southern US coast, dying out as they move inland. Others move through the warm Caribbean waters and pick up intensity, moving over the Caribbean Islands and striking Mexico, Central America, or any of the Gulf Coast States. Hurricane categories are determined by the maximum intensity of the winds in the eye wall of the storm. Numbers from 1 to 5 are used to distinguish the intensity of hurricanes, with 1 having the lowest winds and damage, to 5 having the most intense winds, rain and damage.

Paul Maguire returns to NBC Sports as analyst
NEW YORK – November 25, 2009 – A Thanksgiving weekend tradition continues as NBC Sports, for the 19th consecutive year, broadcasts the State Farm Bayou Classic between Southern University and Grambling State, Saturday, 2 p.m. ET from the Louisiana Superdome.
Paul Maguire returns to NBC Sports to serve as the analyst for Saturday's game. Maguire's last assignment for NBC was at Super Bowl XXXII where he served as an analyst as part of a three-man booth with Dick Enberg and Phil Simms. This is his third stint with NBC Sports having begun his broadcasting career with the network in 1971. He left to join ESPN in 1979 and re-joined NBC in 1986.
Lewis Johnson will host NBC's coverage and Tom Hammond will provide play-by-play.
The first ever Bayou Classic, won 21-0 by Grambling, was played in New Orleans' Tulane Stadium in 1974. Southern leads the all-time series, 18-17, but Grambling has won three of the last five, including last year's Classic, 29-14.
One of the highlights of NBC's broadcast is the renowned halftime show, during which the marching bands of both Southern University and Grambling State University put on an exciting display of talent. Weaved throughout the broadcast will be interviews with the head coaches and drum line battles between the bands.

Commonwealth Leaders to Discuss Climate Change and Democracy
Commonwealth Leaders to Discuss Climate Change and Democracy
A new report says the Commonwealth should do more to promote democratic governance among its member countries.The report by the Commonwealth Policy Studies Unit says a key obstacle to deepening democracy is the failure in many countries to encourage open political competition.
The report comes as the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting known as CHOGM opens Friday, November 27 in the Trinidad and Tobago capital of Port of Spain.
“The Commonwealth is very involved in promoting democracy, and it’s something we’ve been doing ever since we became an active organization 60 years ago or over 60 years ago,” said Eduardo del Buey, chief spokesman for the Commonwealth Secretariathe.
He said one of the issues the leaders will be considering in Trinidad and Tobago is a proposal by the Commonwealth Secretary-General to create an alliance of election commissioners.
De Buey said the alliance would provide the venue for election commissioners across the Commonwealth to share expertise, get peer review, and learn from each other on how to better manage elections.
He disagreed with one of the report’s claims that the Commonwealth was not doing enough to hold member countries accountable to democratic governance.
“There’s no such thing like perfect democracy in the world. We’re all at different stages of development, and the Commonwealth Secretariat realizes that and we work with member states in order to improve their abilities to improve democratically,” Del Buey said.
The UN Climate Conference begins December 6-18 in the Danish capital of Copenhagen.
African Union Chairman Jean Ping said last September that athough Africa is the least responsible for global warming, it suffers the most.
Del Buey said climate change is high on the agenda of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Trinidad and Tobago.
He said the Commonwealth wants to make sure the voices of the small and vulnerable are heard in Copenhagen.
“The small and vulnerable states in Africa, the small and vulnerable states in the Pacific and the Caribbean do not create much of the carbon footprints. But they are leading in terms of suffering and the devastation caused by climate change,” he said.
Del Buey said the Commonwealth is seeking to create a system whereby smaller states will have the technology and finance to address the problems climate change is causing them.
The report “Democracy in the Commonwealth” was published by the Commonwealth Policy Studies Unit and Electoral Reform International Services.
The Commonwealth Policy Studies Unit is part of the School of Advance Study in the University of London.
Eighteen African countries are members of the Commonwealth, and conference organizers said most of their leaders are expected to attend.
