“The CEU-Malolos Chorale Christmas Party 07”

The Filipinos are greatly influenced by the foreigners such as the Spaniards, Americans, Japanese, Chinese &  other European countries in terms of family, group or organization, peer and friends, bachelors and class reunions, gatherings and parties. But the ancient Filipinos also had their gatherings especially in worshiping some idolatrous Gods on the ancient times. But in our social life this present time, we used to have reunions, gatherings and parties at least once a year not just to have bondings but also to give importance for their success and closedness to each other and to celebrate every occasion or tradition of Filipinos once a year. But the foreigners greatly influenced us in terms of food, style and programme in every reunions and parties.

     To better feel the spirit of Christmas, the CEU-Malolos Chorale held their Christmas Party with me as the member of the organization. It was held last December 21, 2007 at the PHLIM bldg Room 102, 5-10 p.m. The fulfillment of joy was headed by the Masters of Ceremony no other than the bubbly hosts named Joseph Milan and Leodevino Lopez. To test the creativity, uniqueness and resourcefulness of the members, we had our costume contest and the Grand prizewinner for the best in costume was Jan Lys Guinto who wore a military dress (RAMBO) with rosy chicks that stands for “Gay Commander”; he won P400.00 as his prize. The money we collected after the two-day caroling activity served as the funds for our Christmas Party that used in refreshments/food, prizes for games/contests and props for the physical arrangement of the party. The most tremendous part of the party was the presentations of 4-5 members grouped together to test the creativeness, bonding and cooperation for each other; inspite of the on the spot challenge, we gave our best and some of the group perform a skit, dance, ways/rules giving, picture/scenario making, etc. the party was lasted with a smile on the face of every participant after the eating delicious Filipino foods, tiring but cheerful games/contest and exchanging of gifts with each other.

“God ‘s Letter to a Woman!”

God ‘s Letter to a Woman!

(This is a must read !!!)

When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke

                                                             them into being.

When I created man, I formed him and breathed life

                                                            into his nostrils.

But you, woman, I fashioned after I breathed the

breath of life into man, because your nostrils are too

                                                          delicate.

         I allowed a deep sleep to come over him

so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you.

Man was put so that he could not interfere with

                                             creativity.

From one bone, I fashioned you.

I chose the bone that protects man’s life.

I chose the rib, which protects his heart and lungs and supports him,

as you are meant to do.

Around this one bone, I shaped  you……I modeled you.

I created you perfectly and beautifully.

Your characteristics are as the rib, strong yet delicate and fragile.

You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man, his

heart.

His heart is the center of his being ; his lungs hold the breath of life.

The ribcage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage

        to the heart. Support man as the ribcage supports the body.

You were not taken from his feet, to be under him,

nor were you taken from his head, to be above him.

You were taken from his side, to stand beside him and be held close

To his side.

You are my perfect angel…you are my beautiful little girl.

   You  have grown to a splendid woman of excellence,

And my eyes fill when I see the virtues in your heart.

Your eyes…don’t change them.

Your lips, how lovely when they part in prayer.

Your nose, so perfect in form.

Your hands so gentle to touch. I’ve caressed your face in your deepest sleep.

I’ve held your heart close to mine.

Of all that lives and breathes, you are most like me.

Adam walked with me in the cool of the day, yet he was lonely.

He could not See me or touch me. He could only feel me.

So everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with me, I fashioned in you ;

my Holiness, my Strength, my Purity, my Love, my Protection and Support.

You are special because you are an extension of me.

Man represents my image, woman my emotions.

Together, you represent the totality of God.

So man…… treat woman well.

Love her, respect her, for she is fragile. In hurting her, you hurt me.

What you to her, you do to me.

In crushing her,  you only damage your own heart ;

the heart of your Father, and the heart of her Father.

Woman, support man. In humility, show him the power of emotion

I have given you.

In gentle quietness, show your strength.

In love, show him that you are the rib that protects his inner self.

Did you not know that WOMAN is special in God ‘s eyes?

(Send this to ten of the wonderful women you know and bless their day!

Send this to the men you know too. It’s a good reminder for them!)

And by means of statistics as a Mass communication student, it can be applied to our future career as Broadcast major in field reporting or news casting in giving information in the mass.

    

     Statistics plays a vital role in giving information in the society for examples: the Stock Exchange reports, the evaluation of President’s performance based on the surveys, announcing and explaining how the basketball player became the year’s MVP and it is based on statistical points and the like.

     In conclusion with the uses of statistics to Mass Communication, statistics is one of the major source, methods, tools or process in giving information by the mass media.

“A GREAT OPINION ABOUT MORMONS”

June 27th, 2008 by tremendous24

           "MICROSOFT FOUNDER,

NFL OWNER PAUL ALLEN

SPEAKS OUT ON MORMONS"

Paul Allen is the owner of the Seattle Seahawks, the team who played the Pittsburgh Steelers for the Super Bowl. He is also the owner of the Portland Trail Blazers NBA basketball team and is co-partner with Bill Gates in Microsoft.
He wrote this editorial in the Santa Clarita, California newspaper, 2006
I have heard and seen enough!  I have lived in the West all my life. I have worked around them. They have worked for me and I for them. When I was young, I dated their daughters. When I got married they came to my wedding. Now that I have daughters of my own, some of their boys have dated my daughters. I would be privileged if one of them were to be my son-in-law.
I’m talking about the Mormons.
They are some of the most honest, hardworking people I have ever known.
They are spiritual, probably more than most other so-called religious people I have encountered. They study the Bible and teach from it as much as any Christian church ever has. They serve their religion without pay in every conceivable capacity. Not one of their leaders, teachers, counselors, Bishops or music directors receive one dime for the hours of labor they put in.
The Mormons have a non-paid ministry - a fact that is not generally known.
I have heard many times from the pulpits of others how evil and non-Christian they are and that they will not go to heaven. I decided recently to attend one of their services near my home to see for myself.
What a surprise!
What I heard and saw was just the opposite from what the religious ministers of the day were telling me. I found a very simple service with no fanfare.  I found a people with a great sense of humor and a well-balanced spiritual side.  There was no loud music. Just a simple service, with the members themselves giving the several short sermons.
They urge their youth to be morally clean and live a good life.  They teach the gospel of Christ, as they understand it. The name of their church is "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints. Does that sound like a non-Christian church to you?
I asked them many questions about what they teach and why. I got answers that in most cases were from the New Testament. Their ideas and doctrines did not seem too far fetched for my understanding. When I read their "Book of Mormon" I was also very surprised to find just the opposite from what I had been told I would find.
Then I went to another church’s pastor to ask him some of the same questions about doctrine.  To my surprise, when he found out that I was in some way investigating the Mormons, he became hostile.  He referred to them as a non-Christian cult. I received what sounded to me like evil propaganda against those people.  He stated bluntly that they were not Christian and that they did not fit into the Christian mold.  He also told me that they don’t really believe the Bible. He gave me a pile of anti-Mormon literature.  He began to rant that the Mormons were not telling me the truth about what they stand for.  He didn’t want to hear anything good about them. At first I was surprised and then again, I wasn’! t. I began to wonder.
I have never known of a cult that supports the Boy Scouts of America.  According to the Boy Scouts, over a third of all the Boy Scout troops in the United States are Mormon.  What cult do you know of that has a welfare system second to none in this country?
They have farms, canneries and cattle ranches to help take care of the unfortunate ones who might be down and out and in need of a little help. The Mormon Church has donated millions to welfare causes around the world without a word of credit. They have donated thousands to help rebuild Baptist churches that were burned a few years ago. They have donated tons of medical supplies to countries ravaged by earthquakes.
You never see them on TV begging for money. What cult do you know that instills in its members to obey the law, pay their taxes, serve in the military if asked and be a good Christian by living high moral standards? Did you know that hundreds of thousands of Mormon youth get up before high school starts in the morning to attend a religious training class? They have basketball and softball leagues and supervised youth dances every month.
They are recruited by the FBI, the State Department and every police department in the country, because they are trustworthy.  They are taught not to drink nor take drugs. They are in the Secret Service - those who protect the President.  They serve in high leadership positions from both parties in Congress and in the US Senate, and have been governors of several states other than Utah. They serve with distinction and honor.
If you have Mormons living near, you will probably find them to be your best friends and neighbors.  They are Christians who try to live what they preach. They are not perfect and they are the first to admit this.  I have known some of them who could not live their religion, just like many of us.  The rhetoric which is spread around against them is nothing more than evil propaganda founded in untruths.  (Others) had successfully demonized them to the point that the general public has no idea what they actually believe and teach.
If you really want to know the truth, go see for yourself.. You also will be surprised.  When I first moved here some 25 years ago there were five Mormon wards in Santa Clarita.  Now there are 15. They must be doing something right.
