Show Your Generosity

noreply@blogger.com (Eoz) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 02:53:00 +0000

I must say, only few of us has the heart of being generous and able t0 give happiness to others. As we've all witnessed that people nowadays are too greedy of everything most especially when it comes to money. They never set as a good example to others and to themselves as well.

It is well to do our duty but sometimes this is not enough for the happiness of others and our own. We must do our duty with joy, with eagerness and with love. We must not keep count of what we do, nor stop strictly at the exact limit of duty. We should learn to devote ourselves generously and put greediness away. Above all, when there is a question of fulfilling certain obligations of our state or position, by which we do good to our fellow men.

Let us learn to be always cheerful although our work is distasteful to us or is overwhelming us. After having worked hard, let us take care not to recall in conversation the pains we have taken, the fatigue that we have imposed to ourselves for it will please everyone; God, fellow humans and our own heart.

Good Manners Make You Loved

noreply@blogger.com (Eoz) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 02:46:00 +0000

A group of college students boldly laughed at their professor and at a boy who's passing by. What kind of students are they? They even wanted to be considered mature and they wanted to be treated well. Those kinds of students have no discipline and good manners. They're supposed to be an example to others because they're educated and they know what good morals are? Application of good manners was not being applied. Their characters are uneducated and it's useless. But a person who has good manners and takes them wherever he goes - at home, at work, at social gatherings is always a man of virtue. He will find it very easy to make and to keep many friends. Everyone loves to associate with a well-mannered person.

It is not one's talent or ability or family's position in the social scale that makes us lovable and popular. Well-mannered person are those who are kind, friendly, respectful, courteous, agreeable, patient, civil and generous.

So, do you have at least one of these characteristics of a well-mannered person? We better examine ourselves first and apply these manners to have a good relationship to others.

Controlling Our Mind and Thoughts

noreply@blogger.com (Eoz) — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 05:41:00 +0000

It often happens that we struggle controlling our mind and thoughts. We bring troubles and annoyances upon ourselves and fall into many faults just through lack of reflection.

Sometimes we're too harsh to others. We decide some matter too quickly. We even produce too quickly a bitter word. We follow the counsel of passion and self-love and we even open too quickly a certain book and so on. We ought to ask ourselves first. Is what I'm gonna do praiseworthy, useful or even allowed? What will be the consequences of it? A moment of realization would be enough many times to open our eyes and would prevent acts that we are bound to regret.

Let us learn to master our natural eagerness and let us observe this rule faithfully if we could spare ourselves many little miseries and sometimes even very great ones.

Needless to say, use your mind with a good purpose to have a peaceful environment and a good life. And it is our intellectual power in our everyday living.

New Year's Fireworks in KL 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Eoz) — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 13:11:00 +0000

Happy new year!! Welcome 2012!!

Well, well! Sad to say I got only 1 photo with the fireworks in KL. It's really sad that we came late and our position to take a shot is not good. Even I take some videos of it for a short while the result is not that great also.

This is my second year to celebrate new year in KL but still don't have a very good shot of Petronas Tower with the fireworks around. How sad...

Here's my new year shot...

Fireworks in KL

Though Malaysia's fireworks are simple yet it's nice to see those fireworks flying in the sky. I hope next new year's countdown this year 2013 I can get a best shot of those fireworks.

Adgitize is Closing?

noreply@blogger.com (Eoz) — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 13:21:00 +0000

I am about to do my round adgitizing when I saw Mr. Ken Brown's post in the forum entitled Adgitize to Close. I am quiet sad as adgitize has a big part on helping bloggers like me to generate traffic and make a new friends from adgitize.

It seems the owner has made the final decision and willing to pay all the remaining money and reimbursed all the existing advertiser's that expire later than January 1, 2012.

Thank you and good luck Mr. Ken Brown.

Celebrating Christmas in KL Again

noreply@blogger.com (Eoz) — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 02:26:00 +0000

This is my second time to celebrate Christmas here in KL. But it’s not the same feeling as my first Christmas here in Malaysia. The reason why is last Christmas I celebrated it together with my wife and my new born son. My mom also came to help us to take good care of my new born son and celebrate Christmas with us too. This is one of my happiest moments in my life, though my father and my siblings are not with us.

Christmas 2010 with my family

Unlike this Christmas, I celebrated it without my family around. Though I am still blessed I have a lot of invites coming from my friends here in KL. So, I celebrated my Noche Buena with friends. Thanks to them as they make my Christmas special though I am still sad looking them together with their kids.

Christmas 2011 - Our Noche Buena

Christmas 2011 - Celebrating with my Friends

Christmas 2011 - With my friends

Modern technology was a big help to lessen my home sick as I can talk to my wife and see them celebrating Christmas using internet. I saw my son playing around and happy to open his gifts. Without the web chat and video call maybe I am crying out loud now. This is one of the burdens of an OFW working abroad that need to face it. We need to sacrifice for our family and for a better future.

Christmas here in Malaysia is quite simple since this is a muslim country unlike Christmas in Philippines which is mostly Christians. It’s up to us now how we celebrate it together with your friends and family and make it special.

Merry Christmas to All!! God bless us!!

Christmas, Christmas

Merry Christmas!!!! Have a wonderful day this holiday season!!

Best Shooting Park in KL

noreply@blogger.com (Eoz) — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 07:23:00 +0000

Are you looking for a best shooting location in KL? Well, my group KL Pinoy Photography Group is usually took our shooting place at Taman Tasik Titiwangsa Park. Why Titiwangsa Park? It is because these parks are free of charge :). Unlike parks in Philippines, you need to get your permit and pay for a fee which make me think why we need to pay for it? You can take photos whatever and wherever you want in this place. I mean, you can take a model shoot, prenup or for family shoots will do. You can also take the skyline of KL together with Petronas twin tower and Menara KL.

KL view from Taman Tasik Titiwangsa

You can also bring your family to enjoy the place. I usually bring my wife and son here and let them play in the playground and enjoy the natural beauty of the place. You can also take some food at mamak stalls, picnic tables and good comfort room are available for your convenience.

Playground at Titiwangsa Park

Taman Tasik Titiwangsa park is where John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonso took some short film in KL, Malaysia on their famous movie in entitled “Miss you like crazy”. Petronas twin tower as their background to promote the popular icon of Malaysia, the tallest twin tower in the world.

Is it safe to shoot in Titiwangsa? For my 2 years stay here in KL and shooting our events in this park we don’t encounter such thing like theft or burglar. I think yes, it is safe to shoot here but still you need to keep your eye in your stuff especially our gadgets are not that cheap. I also saw a lot of prenuptial shooting held in this place. So if you shoot here expect that you will not be alone.

Why should give help for Sendong’s victims in Mindanao?

noreply@blogger.com (Eoz) — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 08:21:00 +0000

My home country now is in mourned due to Typhoon Sendong that hits the Southern part of the Philippines last Friday, December 17, 2011. Thousands of people died in a flashfloods and hundreds are still missing in the city of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan. Why should give help for Sendong’s victims in Mindanao? Actually we don't need to ask why just share and send some help for all the victims. This is for the family who is homeless and lost their possessions during the typhoon Sendong. Let’s share our love to the victims by send donations like old clothes, canned goods and toiletries. Many agencies are accepting donation in any kind like LBC, ABS-CBN Sagip Kapamilya, GMA Kapuso Foundation and Red Cross, Philippines.

Most importantly let us offer our prayer for the victims and to the family who lost their love ones.

Treating Others with a Cheerful Heart

noreply@blogger.com (Eoz) — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 03:54:00 +0000

How do you treat your neighbours?

Surely, we desire to make others happy but unfortunately, some of us aren’t conscious about others. We just don’t even care about them. All we care is only ourselves which is not acceptable. Even some kids have treated their parents harshly and without respect. Is shouldn’t be like that. We should treat them well.

We need to receive kindly and amiably all who comes to us, whatever be their age and condition. Never cause anyone to go away from you pained or troubled instead bear yourself so that your visitors may depart happier and fuller of good will. Show kindness and respect particularly to the old. Listen with patience to the complaints and their stories told over and over again. And let's have more patience with the sick with usually are discontented and sensitive.

Don't be so strict as to what we call your rights. Other people have rights too. To be bent on always having your way is to be bent on introducing misunderstanding and disagreement, is to make yourself unhappy of your own free will.

Never ridicule anyone. To ridicule for a real defect is uncharitable. To do so for a supposed defect or one for which the person is not responsible, is unjust.

Therefore, treat others with a cheerful heart in order for you to have a peaceful life.

NEVER EXPECT MORE

noreply@blogger.com (Eoz) — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 03:31:00 +0000

We should never expect more than they can give.

Most of us are not satisfied and contented of what we have. We want to have things that are popular and latest. We even drag our parents in order for us to own that kind of things without even considering and realizing the situation whether they can afford it or not. Too ambitious of material things could ruin us. We should be contented and never expect more.

Likewise, we must not seek for perfect love, perfect friendship, perfect peace and perfect dedication on this earth because perfection doesn't exist down here. It is useless to take a light and go looking for it and to be sorry not to find it. So also, it is useless to torment our neighbour when despite his good will he cannot perform miracles. But there's always a bright to everything. We ought to be satisfied with it and in practice in adopting the theory of the relativity of all things.

To be demanding is to be egoistic and proud because it means we want everything for ourselves and it isn't good. Let’s be contented and try to give some importance of what we have.

Relaxing While Working

noreply@blogger.com (Eoz) — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 03:38:00 +0000

We cannot be always working. As a normal person, we must have rest and need to relax for some time. Relaxation is not exclusively for our body, our mind and soul requires it as well.

Work is stimulating. Fatigue is a normal body signal. But over-fatigue is senseless and should be avoided. It could possibly lower one's ability to work efficiently. A short period of rest while performing a monotonous or lengthy task helps the body to get rid of the waste products through skin and lungs.

Often, one plans to do a full days of work and then to have rest period, but this is not the best plan because it takes the body so long to reach the point of relaxation. The human machine cannot remain at the same occupation 24 hours a day. So, cultivate the right attitude towards relaxation. A better method is to introduce short periods during the performance of the task. These short periods may be change of work such as writing a note, recording expenses or chatting with your colleagues. Also, the one way to relax is to get free content for your websites from Article Writing Services rather than working on them for hours. Regulate the amount of work tackled in an hour or a day. This means we should be conscious of how much time it takes us to do a job and how much we can accomplish without losing our good disposition at the end of the day.

Therefore, learn to relax as you work.

Try Not to Worry

noreply@blogger.com (Eoz) — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 05:50:00 +0000

Of all human habits, worry is the most extravagant. It costs more than any other and yields nothing useful or pleasurable. It is too expensive. We can't afford it and it's so foolish. If the thing that occasions it cannot be helped, the worry is unavailing. If it can be helped, worry deprives one of the power and intelligence necessary to remedy the thing. We cannot expect to live without anxiety but we can learn to put it to our own good use.

To struggle with our own environment is part of our heritage, a part of the complex adventure of being human. Man has to pay the price of fear and worry in order to be human. Our susceptibility to anxiety is the soil of our human growth "says Joshua Liebman.

No one can dodge feelings of anxiety but in living with them. We can learn a kind of wisdom that will lessen our burden. A psychology degree online may be of interest to you if you like to learn about topics like this. Do not add to your real worries by piling on false ones. Trifles can often obsess us and blot our thinking. It is not the big problem that defeats us but the scab of little thoughts and fears. Do not add to your present worries the burden of the past or the future.

If the thought, time and energy wasted in futile anxiety, were directed towards correcting or improving the condition that cause it. Useless worry would disappear in itself.

Generally, don’t think too much.

1 Day Trip to KL

noreply@blogger.com (Eoz) — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 07:53:00 +0000

Last weekends, my sister came to visit here in KL. This is her second time to travel and visit me here in Malaysia. Last time it was a short visit as she came from Philippines to Singapore and Singapore to Malaysia. Now, I insist that she have to come by here for a long time so she will enjoy and I can guide her as many good place to visit here. Along with her two girl friends from Singapore we explore KL and enjoy the one day trip as they are going back to Singapore in the same day.

At first, we went to Berjaya Time Square to book and get a ticket going to Singapore (Star Mart busliner). Then we come by at the Batu Caves. Batu Caves is one of the popular places to visit here in Malaysia. At first we are hesitate to go up as it look to high and maybe we get tired to climb there. But since we want to experience it we go up but I think we pause in every two landings and took some rest. But in the middle of our journey, one of my sister’s friends doesn’t want to continue going up. But later on she decide to come along, she actually afraid of the monkeys might harm her. And about 15 minutes finally we are on the top. By the way, I count the total number of steps of the stairs and it is about 272 steps.

View of long stairs about 277 steps

Rest.. rest.. rest..

Monkey around Batu Caves

Batu Caves

Before we go to our next destination, we take some rest and eat at Indian restaurant. I let them try the roti telur and the crispy roti with triangle shape.

By then we take train going to KLCC and have a lunch there before taking a picture with the Petronas twin towers. I think they enjoy posing to have a good remembrance in this popular Icon of Malaysia.

High Jump

After that, we go to China Town and Sentral Market to buy some souvenirs. I prefer to send them to Sentral Market to shop than to china town as it is not too crowded. I bring most of my visitor in one of my favorite stall as they give us discount.

Shoping time!

Merdeka Square was our next stop. We also take our rest there while enjoying green grass field scenery of the place. Merdeka Square is like a Rizal Park in Manila.

At Merdeka Square

Since we still have time before the bus depart going to Singapore, I let them go around the Berjaya Time Square which one of the biggest shopping mall in Malaysia. We also take our dinner at Hong Kong Kim Gary Restaurant at Time Square since it is a 5 hours travel going to Singapore.

I hope they enjoy their one day stay in Malaysia.

Hope of Our Nation

noreply@blogger.com (Eoz) — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 07:55:00 +0000

Jose Rizal once said “The youth is the hope of our nation” (Ang Kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan). Is this really happening now? Youth today was exposed to all kinds of information in the help of high technology like internet. Social media also has a big impact for our youth today. They know many things that are not right and see how to abuse the power in the country.

We really need help to guide our youth in their physical, mental and spiritual life. Maybe parents should be more involved in the lives of their children. Teacher should guide and teach their students on how important moral values and good ethics. Even a lot of young people are taking classes from online universities now a days. Authority needs to be a role model as youth today do what they saw and thinking that what they see in their eyes is right. If not, it will be useless to tell them to do your words without practising with ourselves.

Being Away from Family

noreply@blogger.com (Eoz) — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 01:28:00 +0000

I am working as an expat here in KL, far away from my family. I know nobody wants to be apart and be separated from their love ones. But for some reasons, sometimes it is necessary and we couldn't avoid the on-going situations. Economic crisis has the biggest impact and is one but a major reason of making people decide the hardest part of life, of being away from our family. Also, we decide to work abroad for the future of our child and to have a better life.

When we are away from our family, sometimes we will test us how strong we are in handling these situations. It’s like an adventure which needs inspiration, strength, trust, perseverance and determination. If you have these characteristics, then you’ll be able to overcome and you can pass all the temptations, trials and hindrances ahead as they must come on their way. Temptations are everywhere and no one is exempted. Don’t be tempted to this thing. These could cause you troubles and a massive damage in your relationship. Thinking all the possibilities and consequences that might happen and you’ll surprisingly realize of not falling from any temptations.

In this real world, most people have been fallen to such things even if there not away from their partners. How much more to those who are away from their family. I can say it’s really worst.

Try to focus yourself and aiming your goal why you're away from your partners and family. Understand the relativity of things and having those characteristics would surely help you to have a healthy and harmonious relationship with your partner. Communication is also important thing to ease the loneliness we felt. Of course don’t forget to pray always for this is the key to success.

Just remember this song:

"Even though you're far apart, you're right beside me in my heart.

"Even though you're far away, you're right beside me day by day"

Are you a Judge or Something?

noreply@blogger.com (Eoz) — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 07:57:00 +0000

Don’t judge so you won’t be judge.

Sometimes we are too severe in judging others. It is easy for us to say bad things and worst words to others because we hate them or we don’t like that person. People would probably back-stab you when you're away but they're busy admiring you while you're in front of them. Once you're gone, don’t expect them to be still nice to you. They're just using their hypocrite attitude. This kind of people doesn't even ask and sees their selves in front of a mirror because they don’t even recognize who they really are. They are too good in condemning others.

Even if you have an online law degree or are a judge by profession, you should not judge people. We should never forget that we are too much exposed to temptations that we ourselves can become guilty of the very same faults we condemn in others. And when we judge in others mistake which we ourselves have committed a sin, and our blame is even greater.

We shall be able to do much good instead of judging and condemning others. A fruitful and happy life awaits us if we just be kind to others and not to judge them.

Thank You, Because of You

noreply@blogger.com (Eoz) — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 07:41:00 +0000

Inspiring others reflects individual’s attitude, morality and good virtue.

Considering as an inspiration to others is such pleasure and honour for they have seen your potentials and capabilities of being a good example to them. As the popular line says “we cannot impress everybody". But I would say, we can continue doing good things to show them that we care.

Because of our parents, literally, we were born to this earth, have a good life, able to have things that we wanted, able to teach us about good morals, self-discipline etc. They have taught us a lot of lessons for us to be a good one.

Because of our true friends, we have learned how to choose real good friends, forgive, be considerate, be fair and know who to trust. They have helped us to be more matured, more to ourselves and more the person we intended to be.

Because of our neighbors, we have learned how to respect others, being aware of what's happening to our surroundings and know how to care for others as well.

Most of all, because of God, we are being saved from the bondage of sin through His crucifixion. He has given us the opportunity to do everything right to be worthy in His presence and continue to serve Him until the end of time.

Celebrating Deepavali in KL

noreply@blogger.com (Eoz) — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 08:24:00 +0000

This is my second time to celebrate a Deepavali or also known as Depawali / Dewali here in KL. My Indian colleagues always invited me to their home and celebrate it with his family. Since Deepavali here in Malaysia is a national holiday which fall every 26 of October every year, I can join them and I want to observe how they celebrate the Deepavali. I think Deepavali is celebrated like how we celebrate Christmas.

Deepavali Festival is one of the most important feasts for Hindus. It is also known as Festival of Lights which is the celebration of victory of good over the evil.

Deepavali Lanterns from wikipedia.

I ask my Indian friend what was Deepavali or Dewali means to him. This is what he says “Deepavali means a lot to me and I enjoy this festival the most of my childhood days. It’s like a festival of sweets as we prepare and eat different varieties of Indian sweets. Wearing new clothes and fresh new look to our home as we clean it and put a new curtains and new bed sheets. We have also sharing gifts. We buy gold, silver, or steel as this is best time to buy those things.”

Happy DEEPAVALI to all!!

Finding our way again: Book Review

noreply@blogger.com (Eoz) — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 09:39:00 +0000

This is my first time for a book review. Entitled “Finding our way again” by Brian Mclaren. I find it interesting that is why I request it from booksneeze.

After reading “Finding our way again” realized me that I need a constant change to desire for a deeper devotion to God. Maybe I am one of those Christian that practices an old and traditional prayer. In this book, we will teach us to have a spiritual discipline and go back to Abraham’s time and transform us to spiritual sojourn.

In the first chapter, Mclaren discuss the purpose of this book as Jesus followers we need to rediscover our faith as a way of life. He shares a lot of experiences for us to inspire and overview the spiritual practices of the believers of Jesus Christ.

Sometimes, we Christians are experimenting and very eager to discover a new way how to follow Christ. But I learned in this book that there is no need to discover a new way of following Christ but instead just follow Jesus Christ.

I definitely get the other book and continue reading the other 6 series of Mclaren.

Learning Bahasa Melayu to Tagalog and English Part 2

noreply@blogger.com (Eoz) — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 10:10:00 +0000

After my article about Learning Bahasa Melayu to Tagalog and English I can say that I am more interested now to study their language and learn it. Maybe it could help me more to communicate with local people here in Malaysia.

Now in this part of translation is another basic word. Basic is very important to us to learn. All of us went through in the basic way before jumping on the advance words right?

Here we go…

*Bahasa Melayu*	*Tagalog*	*English*
sapa	sino	who
mana	saan	where
apa	ano	what
sini	dito	here
ini	ito	this
bilik	silid	room
terimah kasih	salamat	Thank You
boleh	pwede	can
masuk	pasok	entry
keluar	labasan	exit

Do you find it hard? I hope not! For me it quite easy as some few words are sounds like of the Tagalog words. Like masuk – pasok. And some words are also used in southern part of the Philippines, like the word Sini and Ini.

PHILCONSTRUCT 2011

noreply@blogger.com (Eoz) — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 05:53:00 +0000

Truthful and Honest

noreply@blogger.com (Eoz) — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 08:47:00 +0000

Truth is the most powerful weapon in the world and this world very much needs honest people. But unfortunately, nowadays truth is far from its existence. Lies and liars are the rulers in this evil world that were living in. This could be a happy and a peaceful world if the truth rules over lies in this present time. Some says that there's no justice for the poor. It gets harder and harder to think that people live with much lies. Realizing all these things that justice is not being served fairly, makes us more aggressive to ask ourselves how evil the world is.

Far too many have the very false notion that being honest is out of style and it is the same as being a simpleton or a foolish person. So, it follows that the truthful person becomes rather the exception. Fortunately however, this is not the opinion of those who respect charity and justice.

Those who think they can be justified in lying when it's to their favor are plain cowards; right is right even if the whole world is wrong and wrong is wrong even if the whole world is right. If you spent as much time being honest about what's not right in your life as you do covering it up, you'd have a lot more energy for what is right in your life.

Therefore, if you are true to yourself then you can't help being true to God. Truth is to know yourself and to know God. While you live, tell the truth and shame the evil for the greatest homage you can pay to truth is to use it.
