I want an additional phone for my globe sim (smart ako ever since). I'm currently using the old 3330 here at home but my sole purpose of getting a globe sim is somewhat defeated. and that is to send group messages (announcements, greeting, etc.) to my friends in the youth ministry, who all happened to be globe subscribers. and they couldn't contact me also because they avail the unlitxt. ^^;

so ayun, with the 3330 I still have to manually scroll down my contact list pag "Send to many". with the new models, you can group your contacts. then simply input the group name, press send, and leave the rest to your phone. ^_^ so if I ever get a new phone, I choose this one:



Nokia 7390

though I haven't seen this model anywhere. meron ba nito sa Pinas? at magkano na sya kung meron?

.EDIT{
apparently that model was limited edition so it's obviously gone by now. *sulks* :P

e kung eto na lang kaya?



Nokia E51

Any violent reactions?

uhm, maybe you'd like to join wwwphilippines. it's not much but still counts as an effort to change our country. maybe aspiring and incumbent government officials, even NGOs, would want to refer to this site to aid them in their specific plan of actions. and I did say specific.

I have no idea how far this will go. but I do have a dream that one day it will be recognized and we shall have monthly advisories (like in dormant_muses) where we list down the problems observed by our members and their status (assuming the government has taken actions already).

You all probably know this famous miracle done by Jesus. But did the miracle really take place right before their eyes? Here is what's written in the Bible:

It was starting to get late in the day and none of the people had supper yet. The disciples came to Jesus and said, "There is no food around here and its already getting late. Maybe we should send the people away so they can go to the surrounding towns and get themselves something to eat."

But Jesus replied, "You give them something to eat." The disciples didn't think that they understood Jesus right, "We can't feed all these people, we would have to work almost a year to pay for all the food." The disciples said shocked.

While the disciples were talking to Jesus one of the disciples named Andrew noticed a small boy walking by with a small lunch. He stopped the boy and asked him what he had. He quickly ran over to where the disciples were talking to Jesus and said, "Here is a boy with five small loaves of bread and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many people?"

Jesus smiled and said, "Ask everyone to sit down." There was lots of grass to sit on so everyone was seated, all five thousand of them. After everyone was seated Jesus took the loaves of bread and thanked God for it. Then the disciples passed around the bread and everyone could take as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.

Remember these were five small loaves of bread and two small fish, enough for a boy to eat on his own. There were five thousand people all eating from this boy's small lunch, and they could eat as much as they wanted. There are probably more than five thousand people at your church or school, it's a lot of people!

After everyone was full, Jesus asked the disciples to gather all the food that was leftover so nothing would be wasted. After they gathered all the baskets of food they counted them up. There were twelve baskets still full with some bread and fish from the little boys small lunch.

His small lunch probably barely filled one of the baskets before Jesus touched it. And that is a miracle! After the people realized what had happened they said to each other, "This must be an important person sent from God." He was much more than that!

Now let's be more realistic (this is not blasphemy):

In the early days (even up until now), nobody would dare go on a journey or to any place na walang dalang kahit anong pagkain or inumin. Though packed lunch is somewhat obsolete nowadays, you'd still be bringing some extra cash so you could buy food, right? The point is, siguradong magbabaon ka.

Now the problem with those people in Jesus' time (even up until now) was that they were selfish. They wanted to keep their own food to themselves alone.

Alas! There was this boy who stepped forward to offer what he's got. And from this simple act of giving, everyone followed suit and was able to partake in this feast brought about by sharing.

Still looking for the miracle?

It was simply the people changing their selfish attitude. :)

I saw crimson_parsley in the MRT today. but he was on the other end so I didn't bother to call out to him. though I did text him afterwards and said, "Hello, Jerc! Hulaan ko, naka-green striped polo ka ngayon hehe.. :P"

and he was like, "Whoa! San mo ko nakita?"

lol! me and riisha were just talking about him last night. ^^;


ho-hum... I'm craving for a wholesome anime, preferably fantasy/adventure/humor + a hint of romance, with good-looking characters (not necessarily bishoujo/shounens) whose personalities will make you write/read fanfics, and a well-established plot (which is not dragging) with an ending that is certain but not predictable. suggestions, anyone?

btw, I've just seen the first epesiodes of Maskman and Shaider at CR. haha! the nostalgia. I used to watch those on a TV set (the one with its own cabinet and lock). who would've thought I'd see them again (in this place called the web) 18 years later? XD

just had a medical chat with paolomedina (MD) a while ago. he had previously commented in this entry so I'm glad that he dropped by para mangamusta. and he suggested that I may have iron deficiency anemia. so I wikied IDA and looked up the symptoms. I think I scored 6 >.>

• fatigue - my bedroom is proof


• palpitations - also looked up its definition and this was exactly how I felt yesterday: The heart is "fluttering" in the chest... Any rapid heartbeat (or tachycardia) can give rise to this feeling. A rapid, regular fluttering in the chest may be associated with sensation of pounding in the neck as well...


• fainting/feeling faint/lightheadedness - I felt this along with the palpitations and I was just sitting in front of the computer


• depression - somewhat subjective but yeah, I feel I'm less lively nowadays


• missed menstrual cycle - mine was two weeks overdue


• heavy menstrual cycle - and my pad last night was soaking (sorry for the term)

and what the heck is "seeing bright colors"?

lopao said I could try taking iron supplementation. and for some reason we've got 3 bottles of ferrous sulfate in our medicine cabinet hehe... still tastes like blood even though it said caramel flavor. ^^;

anyway, I'll try to get some rest from now on.

I've never blogged about it but I'm currently heading the Summer Youth Sportsfest Committee here. first time to kaya sobrang pagod. organizing a big event is never easy. nakaka-pressure lang talaga dahil marami ang involved, most especially the players who are expecting a memorable summer experience. so we have to make this event special for them para worth remembering and they'll have something to look forward to every summer.

darn, I should've said no when they appointed me. (quoting swollenfoot: Joanne, isa kang HANGAAAAAAAAL!!!!) but I didn't have the perfect alibi. they knew very well that I'm currently on vacation. owel...

medyo tagilid pa sya for now but we are doing our best.

btw, I'd like to own this:


and did you know that yesterday and last saturday, I served in 5 masses in total? grabe, gospel na lang ang di ko nabasa. -_-

I have 12 reading assignments for this month alone (from the usual 2/month). yeah, don't ask. -_-


it's supposedly volunteer work but I'm already on the verge of losing my zeal because we're almost like being forced to attend to it now.


anyway...
