“The Two-fold of Commandments to Live a Righteous Life”

“THOU SHALL NOT….”
1. THOU SHALL NOT believe “ you have all” the intelligence God has poured the world; you are just one of the dust-like volume of people with whom brains may be GREATER than yours.
2. THOU SHALL NOT abuse the INNOCENT ones that you pin them down on actuations they neither do nor have the intention to do so.
3. THOU SHALL NOT act as if you have all the wealth this world could offer; these are just borrowed possessions from the creator of heavens and earth.
4. THOU SHALL NOT exaggerate thoughts telling the world “I’M ON TOP!”; remember, there are cliffs, mountains and planets still kept unreachable.
5. THOU SHALL NOT isolate thyself as the lord of a certain ring; watch how SHRIMPS swim up the surface of the sea but tend to go down beneath because they force themselves being always on top.
6. THOU SHALL NOT crave too much for a powerful position or overuse its invincibility or immunity; a throne is designed to be sat, NOT to be lifted.
7. THOU SHALL NOT create false and malicious guilt-trip towards others.
8. THOU SHALL NOT feel glad when someone is in pain or sufferings.
9. THOU SHALL NOT blame others on some mistakes; train instead, for God had given you the knowledge for FREE.
10. THOU SHALL NOT forget what or how you’ve been when you were in your mom’s womb: zero-knowledge, righteous and unaware of misconduct towards living a simple life.

“THOU SHALL ….”
1. THOU SHALL learn how to accept mistakes, for mistakes put an added ladder for you to step up and accelerate to achieve a clean disposition in life.
2. THOU SHALL know how to experience being a subordinate for you to learn an EFFECTIVE way of handling your own future organization.
3. THOU SHALL adjust yourself to certain situations; your kind of schemes might not agree with others’ substandard thoughts on your end; compatibility is enormously strong.
4. THOU SHALL learn how to listen; listening is a form of behavioral skill that allows you to know the thoughts of others.
5. THOU SHALL teach others who need your teachings with grace.
6. THOU SHALL extend charity when able.
7. THOU SHALL gain friendship, not warfare; world peace should be the aim.
8. THOU SHALL share talents and skills to create environmental enthusiasm and fun.
9. THOU SHALL respect others at all times; if others won’t, don’t mind them; at least you’ve shown how you react on a baloney acts.
10. THOU SHALL keep your feet FOREVER on the grounds; the first man was created and molded out of clay.

It's not a joke: RP stuns Brazil in soccer


ABS-CBN - Saturday, March 20

MANILA, Philippines -- The Filipino booters finally lived up to their “Miracle Team” billing with a huge 6-2 upset of Brazil last Thursday in the Deloitte Street Child World Cup indoor football tournament in Durban, South Africa.

Shrugging off a 0-2 loss to Tanzania 2 days ago, the RP squad, led by coach Jess Landagan, worked like a well-oiled soccer machine, surging to a 4-1 halftime lead before scoring two more goals in the next period in wrapping up the monumental win in front of a roaring South African gallery.

It marked the first time that the Philippines beat Brazil, a world football power, at the international level.

The victory boosted the team, co-managed by Craig Burrows of Britain, into the shield competition after finishing the Group B preliminaries with a 1-2 win-loss slate.

“We prayed for a breakthrough for the RP ‘Miracle Team,’ and it was answered in a big way with this win over the Brazilians,” said co-manager Ed Formoso, who again thanked British charity Angus Lawon Memorial Trust for making the stint possible.

Formoso also cited the Henry V. Moran Foundation, which staged the tryouts that led to the formation of a competitive squad to the South African soccer fest.

“It seems that Tinikling footwork beat Samba footwork,” noted RP women’s team skipper Marielle Benitez, when informed of the historic triumph Thursday night.

Benitez, a member of the world-famous Bayanihan dance troupe, earlier gave the RP members lessons in the popular folk dance that requires nimble feet between two bamboo poles as part of the team’s off-pitch extracurricular activities.

The Philippines next plays Ukraine on Friday (Saturday in Manila) with the winner taking on the victor of the other Shield semifinals between host South Africa and Brazil for the Shield Cup on Friday.

Scientists go 'gaga' to find creatures beneath 600 feet of ice

By SETH BORENSTEIN, AP Science Writer Seth Borenstein, Ap Science Writer – Mon Mar 15, 4:05 pm ET

WASHINGTON – In a surprising discovery about where higher life can thrive, scientists for the first time found a shrimp-like creature and a jellyfish frolicking beneath a massive Antarctic ice sheet.
Six hundred feet below the ice where no light shines, scientists had figured nothing much more than a few microbes could exist.
That's why a NASA team was surprised when they lowered a video camera to get the first long look at the underbelly of an ice sheet in Antarctica. A curious shrimp-like creature came swimming by and then parked itself on the camera's cable. Scientists also pulled up a tentacle they believe came from a foot-long jellyfish.
"We were operating on the presumption that nothing's there," said NASA ice scientist Robert Bindschadler, who will be presenting the initial findings and a video at an American Geophysical Union meeting Wednesday. "It was a shrimp you'd enjoy having on your plate."
"We were just gaga over it," he said of the 3-inch-long, orange critter starring in their two-minute video. Technically, it's not a shrimp. It's a Lyssianasid amphipod, which is distantly related to shrimp.

Stairs is a swing away from record book...

By Jeff Passan, Yahoo! Sports

PEORIA, Ariz. – Matt Stairs(notes) is fairly certain this will be his last season playing professional baseball. Check that. He’s only sort of sure. And truth be told, he can totally see himself playing next year and furthering the record he’s about to set.

“Every year around this time I say this is it, I’m done,” he said. “Then I come back. I thought Toronto was the last place I was going to be playing. That was two teams ago.”

The 42-year-old Stairs slipped into workout gear affixed with the San Diego Padres’ insignia. Baseball’s greatest nomad has worn more logos than Pepsi. If Stairs makes the Padres’ opening day roster, it will mark his 12th major league team, the most for a position player and testament to his unparalleled staying power.

His journey took him from Montreal to Boston to Oakland to Chicago to Milwaukee to Pittsburgh to Kansas City to Texas to Detroit to Toronto to Philadelphia, with stopovers in 11 more minor league cities and a stint in Japan, and now to San Diego, where he wants to scratch out another season as a pinch hitter. Pitchers Mike Morgan and Ron Villone(notes), owners of always-in-demand rubber arms, played for 12 teams apiece. A position player has never done that, unless you count catcher Deacon McGuire, who was with 11 teams and wore 12 uniforms. His 1891 Washington Statesmen became the Washington Senators the next year, and if McGuire was as pious as his nickname suggests, surely he’d cede the record to Stairs alone.

Pacquiao dominates Clottey in front of 50,994

ARLINGTON, Texas – Joshua Clottey may have been bigger, but that was his only edge on Saturday night. Manny Pacquiao clearly outworked Clottey, outpunching him four, five and even six to one at times in winning a wide decision before a standing room-only crowd of 50,994 at Cowboys Stadium.

Pacquiao punished Clottey with combinations to the body throughout in winning the unanimous decision to retain his World Boxing Organization welterweight title and his status as the world’s finest boxer.

It was no contest as Clottey simply kept his guard high and rarely threw punches. According to CompuBox, Pacquiao landed 246 of 1,231 punches; Clottey connected on just 108 of 399.

Pacquiao took advantage by using his blazing hand speed to rip through Clottey’s gloves and land hard, punishing shots.
He made the former champion wince several times as he fired off hard combinations at Clottey’s midsection.

Despite the exhortations in the corner of trainer Lenny DeJesus, Clottey never opened up and fought aggressively. He was backed up all night and, except for an occasional shot, never did much to Pacquiao.

It was another virtuoso performance for the Filipino superstar who has won titles or has claimed the linear championship in seven different weight classes. Pacquiao is on a collision course with unbeaten rival Floyd Mayweather Jr., who fights Shane Mosley on May 1.

Famous Haven: Inside the Candy Spelling Manor



It's a one-of-a-kind mega-mansion, in fact it's the largest home in Los Angeles and on the market for $150 million. Today, Make Home a Haven takes you inside the 50,000-square-foot, French-inspired manor for a rare glimpse. Home to Candy Spelling, wife of the late TV mogul Aaron Spelling and mother to Tori. Candy calls it 'The Manor', we just call it spectacular! Also for the first time, Candy begins her role as a Shine blogger. Get to know the woman behind the mogul and read in her own words what she has to say about her special haven.

People have different expectations when they visit my home. What would you think if you were going to see the “largest home in Los Angeles,” and if you sometimes had to navigate around busloads of people on a “tour of stars’ homes” in order to get into the driveway? In my chronic state of insecurity, I wonder how my house could possibly live up to the expectations people have.

It wasn’t that long ago that I realized that other people’s expectations counted a whole lot less than how comfortable I was in my own home (does that make me a slow learner or proving that wisdom comes with age?). When Yahoo told me about its expanded focus to make home a haven, I realized that’s what I had been trying to do. They just put it into better words.

101 Nature-Oriented Things To-do This Summer...


1. List all the trees in your neighborhood. Our page on backyard trees can help. You may also want to look at our pages on twigs and tree bark. Tree identification books can be reviewed here.

2. Find a spider web, maybe in your basement or in the garden, among the shrubs or among some weeds, and see if the spider is there. Is the web an orb web, sheet web, or some other kind? Check out our Spiders Page and our Spider Silk Page.

3. Put out a birdbath for birds and other critters. It doesn't have to be a real birdbath, but could be something like a turned-upside garbage can lid. The water should be no deeper than an inch. Keep a list of the species who visit.

4. Find the star-shaped pith in an oak twig, as shown on our Woody Twig Page.

5. Go for Naturalist Jim's Bug-Eaten Leaf Awards.

6. Start a rock collection. Our rock section can get you oriented..

7. In the night sky, learn these constellations: The Big Dipper (Ursa Major), The Little Dipper (Ursa Minor), Leo the Lion, Boötes the Herdsman, Hercules, Corona Borealis, and Draco the Dragon. One book to help you is The Sky Observer's Guide: A Handbook for Amateur Astronomers

8. If you see a bird collecting worms or other food for nestlings, watch where the food is taken, locate the nest, and watch it until the nestlings leave (Don't get too close or you'll upset the family.) Check out our birdnest page.

9. At night and with a flashlight, sneak up on a stridulating cricket and watch it sing.

10. Find a lichen, as described on our Lichen Page, and figure out whether it is crustose, foliose or fruticose.

Looking for an exceptional Artist…..? (He’s just around the corner)


At long last, I’m in search for different artists who would contribute much to the wellness of our environment. Yes, you would need not to go farther ‘cause he’s just our very own Filipino exceptional artist – Mr. RAL ARROGANTE.

When I visited Shangri-La Plaza in Edsa-Shaw last Feb. 27, 2010 through Philippine International Visual Arts Festival 2010 (PIVAF), it was a drop-jaw moment seeing unbelievable creations by him.

Though at first you’d never know it was from a junk turning into something else like miniatures of planes, ships, houses, & etc. Even dragonflies or insects may be seen made out of coppers, wires, blinds and other less-fortunate junks (haha!).
You might not be that amazed until you see it yourself.

Or email him at arroganteral@yahoo.com to know him more or ask much about it…

Experience the Artist’s thoughts with different Indigenous explorations.

His post says:
“ A self-taught artist who ingeniously puts together copper parts into witty metal sculptures. He has assembled clocks, animals and decorative pieces from copper used as electrical, automotive or computer parts. The basic form of the objects depicted are shaped by creatively tying or connecting copper scraps together. Some sculptures derived from Arrogante’s experiences and surroundings can be manipulated and moved by the viewer…”
