Friends, HOPE IS ALWAYS…
Sometimes it seems that all the news is bad. Sometimes it seems that the world around you is tumbling hopelessly downhill and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop it.
Yet that is never the case. For the more difficult life becomes, the more motivated everyone becomes to make real, substantial, positive changes.
Nothing is ever as bad as it seems. Because when situations become difficult, people become determined.
And when enough people become determined enough, good and positive and valuable things begin to happen. Hope, which may have previously been nearly impossible to see, begins to spring into action.
When the darkness becomes unbearable, someone will step forward and shine a light. And that light will inspire others, and others, and others.
Hope is always there. The more it is needed, the more powerful and effective it grows.
You bet, Alitaptap! The new year should bring new stamina to the movement to oust the Great Switik.
It’s the year of the wild boar as a matter of fact! Here’s what the Chinese astrology says about people born in the year of the wild boar:
The Pig type is usually an honest, straightforward and patient person. He/she is a modest, shy character who prefers to work quietly behind the scenes. When others despair, he/she is often there to offer support. This type of person is reserved with those they do not know too well, but as time passes and they gain confidence, those around them may discover a lively and warm-hearted person behind that mask of aloofness. Despite those born in the year of pig having a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, they have few close friends who understand them and share their inner thoughts and feelings. It is easy to put trust in pig type; he/she won’t let you down and will never even attempt to do so. Such people simply want to do everything right according to social norms.
It is important to remember that these people are not vengeful creatures. If someone tries to take advantage of him/her, the pig type tend to withdraw to reflect on the problem and protect themselves. All they need in such situations is a little time to find a constructive way to respond. The people of the pig type are conservative creatures of habit. They dislike being made to travel too far from familiar surroundings, unless it is a trip to the country. They love nature and are never happier than when they are out somewhere, far from the city.
There is a tolerant and peaceful side to their character. Such people are never afraid to allow others their freedom of expression; they do not want to cause arguments and if there is any way to avoid arguing, they will probably take this option. They are not weak, however, and if the situation forces them to fight these people will rise to the occasion, whether it is to defend themselves or those close to them. People of the Pig type are the most admired by others.

The Great Switik was in fact born in the year of the wild boar, but since she is atypical and aberrant, this year may prove still to be a bad year for her, and may it be so!!!

Do you believe in astrology and fortune telling? Ayaw kong maging pilosopo o mainis kayo sa akin itong unang araw ng Bagong Taon. Pero and tunay na Kristiyano at bible believers don’t believe in astrology or the likes. Pero pinag-uusapan nga din lang, tuloy ang discussion. What I know about Chinese astrology is that it has the good and bad sides of it. Tulad na lang sa paniniwala na hindi bagay ang apoy at tubig. In business, that means one should be careful in getting into furniture or lumber business or anything that has to do with woods. Kapag maganda ang hula, uunlad at kikita ang ganitong negosyo. Many astrologists spent so much time to acquire such knowledge. But in the end, who can be more knowledgable and powerful that God Who created everything?

MAPAGPALAYANG BAGONG TAON sa lahat!
bagong taon, bagong pag-asa at bagong pakikibaka.
huwag nating tantatanan, hanggang mapatalsik si gloria.
ms. ellen, i wish you good health and more blessings to come.
Ths was posted by Joeseg in another thread but I’d like to re-post it here because it’s appropriate as we enter the new year:
NOW IS THE TIME
Whatever happened on the previous attempt doesn’t matter anymore. What matters is what you do now.
Though you may have failed once, or numerous times, or a thousand times, that has no bearing on what you’re able to do now. In fact, each failed attempt brings you closer to success.
By discovering what does not work, you have more information to help you know what does work. The more you have invested in the goal, the more motivated you are to make it succeed.
Effort is never wasted, even when it leads to disappointing results. For it always makes you stronger, more capable and more experienced.
Now is the time to make use of all that strength and experience. Now is the time to push forward with more commitment and effectiveness than ever before.
Take great satisfaction in where you have been and in how far you have come. Now is your opportunity to make it into real and lasting success.

I also wish to share this biblical passage:
Philippians 3:13-14
New King James Version (NKJV)
“Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

We hope the New Year will be a better year for us but look at the Top Stories on first day of 2007:
1. Fire and stray bullets herald 2007.
A bloody welcome, 1 death, 339 injured
2. Smith mess starts rocky year for GMA
Constitutional crisis looms.
3. Vice mayor (of Tapaz, Capiz) gunned down
4. GMA: PAY INCREASE FOR GOVERNMENT WORKERS in 2007.
House of Representative set to approve government
workers’ wage hike. P100,000 to the President, lawmakers
and other high-ranking officials, lowly workers would
get a measly P500 to P800.
5. COMELEC: No pay hike, promotion for government workers
due to poll ban.
6. Higher SLEX tolls starting January 1.
7. Many Pinoys still go hungry.

joeseg,
Glueria is an old power-bitch inside out. 2007 is only for us pinoys who want a better Philippines.
Manggugulo pa yang si Glueria dahil wala naman siyang patutunguhan. Kung matapos manggulo ang bruha na ‘yan, ibig lang sabihin ay tapos na rin s’ya.
She has already lost control or no longer in control of the situation in the country, kaya unang araw pa lang ng kanyang 2007 ay madilim na. Let’s take note of the mess she creates
everyday and turn the negative incidents to our advantage. Mas magulo s’ya, mas madali ang kanyang pagbagsak. Tayo dito sa blog ni Ellen, patuloy at lalong palakasin ang dakdak at ingay hanggang sa tumalsik ang pekeng pangulo.

Happy New Year sa kapwa kong Pilipino saan man silang lupalop naroroon na may tunay na malasakit at tunay na lumalaban sa kapakanan ng ating kababayan sa Pilipinas. Maging sa pagbigay ng kanilang loobin sa blog na ito o sa anumang paraan. Sa mga tunay na Pilipino na di nagpapagamit, nagpapabyad at nagpapabulag para lang isulong ang interest ng ibang lahi. Happy New Year to you Mam Ellen.

Tama ka CHI, lakasan pa natin ang ingay katulad ng mga paputok na sumalubong sa bagong taon at kasing lakas ng pagbati nina TONEY, VIC, CHABELI. ROLJEN, YSTAKEI at iba sa kabilang sinulid. Pero ibang ingay ito, tuloy-tuloy, sa paraang ating ginagawa ngayon, animo’y MANDIRIGMA o GUERRERO at babaeng tulad ni ISABEL, may APOY ang damdamin, parang TIKBALANG na lundagin ang hadlang sa daraanan, sundan ang liwanag ng ALITAPTAP kung madilim ang landas, pakikilahok sa kilos protesta, sa Pilipinas o sa abroad, sa ibang paraan ating makakayanan, mga panawagan, sa panulat, sa email, texting, tawag, sigaw, bulong, walang patid. Hindi natin ito… TANTANTANAN!!!
At katulad nang sinabi ni MIKE, lahat ng nagbibigay ng kanilang loobin sa blog na ito o sa anumang paraan kahit saan man silang lupalop ng daigding, sila’y kasama natin sa pag-iingay.

i say AMEN to that, joeseg. mapagpalayang bagong taon sa iyo.

Sakit na ng mga Pinoy ang magtapon ng pagkain matapos ang Bagong Taon o Pasko.
Kadalasan ang madaming hinandang pagkain noong bisperas ng bagong taon at pasko ay nauuwi lang sa basurahan o tinatapon.
Sana ay matuto na ang mga Pinoy pagdating sa paghahanda ng pagkain tuwing may mga ganitong okasyon.
Happy New Year!
happy happy happy new year to all!!
God bless you all and more power this 2007…
