Another email that i laughed the whole time while i was reading. Thanks to Fe... but i still do not know the author for this one. Have a good laugh my friends.
NICKNAMES If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah. If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes. EATING OUT When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back. When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators. MONEY A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs. A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale. BATHROOMS A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel . The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items. ARGUMENTS A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument. FUTURE A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife. SUCCESS A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man. MARRIAGE A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does. DRESSING UP A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail. A man will dress up for weddings and funerals. NATURAL Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed. Women somehow deteriorate during the night. OFFSPRING Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams. A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!
SO, send this to the women who have a sense of humor and who can handle it ... and to the men who will enjoy reading it.
I got this email from a friend. I do not know the author. I am posting it here anyway.
INTERESTING CONVERSATION
An Atheist Professor of Philosophy speaks to his Class on the Problem Science has with GOD, the ALMIGHTY. He asks one of his New Christian Students to stand and . . . Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ? Student : Yes, sir. Professor : So you Believe in GOD ? Student : Absolutely, sir. Professor : Is GOD Good ? Student : Sure. Professor : Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL ? Student : Yes. Professor : My Brother died of Cancer even though he Prayed to GOD to Heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?
( Student is silent ) Professor : You can't answer, can you ? Let's start again, Young Fella. Is GOD Good? Student : Yes. Professor : Is Satan good ? Student : No. Professor : Where does Satan come from ? Student : From . . . GOD . . . Professor : That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this World? Student : Yes. Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct? Student : Yes. Professor : So who created evil ?
(Student does not answer)
Professor : Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the World, don't they? Student : Yes, sir. Professor : So, who Created them ? ( Student has no answer ) Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe the World around you. Tell me, son . . .. Have you ever Seen GOD? Student : No, sir. Professor : Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD? Student : No , sir. Professor : Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter? Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.. Professor : Yet you still Believe in HIM? Student : Yes. Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son? Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith. Professor : Yes, Faith. And that is the Problem Science has. Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat? Professor : Yes. Student : And is there such a thing as Cold? Professor : Yes. Student : No sir. There isn't.
( The Lecture Theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events )
Student : Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat, Mega Heat, White Heat, a Little Heat or No Heat. But we don't have anything called Cold. We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as Cold. Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat. We cannot Measure Cold. Heat is Energy. Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.
( There is Pin - Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre ) Student : What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as Darkness? Professor : Yes. What is Night if there isn't Darkness? Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the Absence of Something… You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light . . . But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and its called Darkness, isn't it? In reality, Darkness isn't. If it is, were you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you? Professor : So what is the point you are making, Young Man ? Student : Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is flawed. Professor : Flawed ? Can you explain how? Student : Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD. You are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can't even explain a Thought. It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing. Death is Not the Opposite of Life: just the Absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Students that they evolved from a Monkey? Professor : If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes, of course, I do. Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?
( The Professor shakes his head with a Smile, beginning to realize where the Argument is going )
Student : Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and Cannot even prove that this Process is an On - Going Endeavor, Are you not teaching your Opinion, sir? Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?
( The Class is in Uproar )
Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the Professor's Brain?
( The Class breaks out into Laughter )
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's Brain, Felt it, touched or Smelt it? . . . No one appears to have done so. So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that You have No Brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir?
(The Room is Silent. The Professor stares at the Student, his face unfathomable)
Professor : I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son. Student : That is it sir . . . The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that Keeps Things Moving & Alive.
NB: I believe you have enjoyed the Conversation . . . and if so . . . You'll probably want your Friends / Colleagues to enjoy the same . . . won't you? Forward them to Increase their Knowledge . . . or FAITH.
Happy Monday!
I always get prompted when someone learns that I came from a teaching work before joining the call center industry. Now is the time that I will personally confront it myself – this forever resurrecting issue.
Is it difficult to move from teaching to taking calls in a call center setup? I said yes and no. Yes because it is almost a world apart. In teaching you prepare the lessons for the day. In the call center, it will be dependent on what the caller’s concern would be.
In the classroom you take control of the discussion and you take responsibility in the discipline. In a call, you also have call control. In the classroom you control the flow of discussions just like the way you control the flow of the call. There are callers who would like to take the discussion and prolong the call. In the class, there are students who would like to prolong the discussion for a reason or another.
So, why did I choose technical support? I took the route of a technical support representative – not because it is in line with my course [heck, I graduated with a course in AB Philosophy] but because I can and have been doing it. Even before I joined the call center I have been helping people get their PC fixed or setup. It is just like going for that which I love to do – troubleshoot PC issues.
Is call center life better than teaching? Let us say, in a day to day process: when you teach you bring home your extra work load while in the call center, after your call, everything is done. In other concerns, there is less politics and less judgmental people in a call center setup. They do not care if you are married for the second time around as long as you perform well. In my previous school work, I was asked to resign because I remarried right after my first marriage was legally annulled. In fact, I was asked to choose between my family or my work – what the heck is that? Do I have a choice but to leave?
Am I bitter? Nahhh… I just feel bad. I spent some good years for that school. I espoused its philosophy and live by its call that school work is not a work but a mission of teaching minds, touching hearts and transforming lives --- that the school is one Big Family. I never thought a family would send out somebody for choosing to live with his kids. Whatever kind of morality used in that judgment, I would agree it is NEVER CHRISTIAN.
How about the pay? Well, the call center pays a lot better than my previous work. To top it all, the work related stress is only during specific calls, while in teaching it is the whole 8hrs that you are in school and a lot more. The responsibility on your shoulder is just one call at a time unlike the 45 students in a class. Going back, I can only shiver thinking what kind of bravery did I wear when we brought 50 classes of 42 to 45 students to Muntinlupa Medium Security Prison for an exposure during my six years stay. Whatever happens to the kids, we will be held responsible for it. Was it worth the pay? Heck, NO!
Do I miss teaching? YES
Do I want to go back to teaching? Not in the near future.
I was asked to search for articles of Pope John Paul II on ORA ET LABORA. I got more than a hundred results but such a pity I can only understand 10 of them.
I only speak and read English well, my Italian, Latin & German is awful it will take me days to read a page. For those who are interested on reading here are the links for your perusal --- 21 pages of single space. I bet you can finish it in a day.

If you land in this site to satisfy your lust... im sorry to disappoint you. You better stop what you are doing. However you say it or would like to view it, it still boils down to one: it degrades the filipina. It entices the male kind to think lustfully of our women. One way or another they promote it over the net... This is just my little way of reminding you that your way of living is scandalous.
Recah Trinidad came up with his verdict: Marquez won. It is easier to say that when you are seated in front of the TV and has the chance to rewind it. But one thing I am sure of, this is where the sport caster's opinion would lead you. It is also a world apart from the situation of the judges.
If you are seated next to the boxers, it will be a different situation. It will be an entirely different perspective. You cannot rewind and you can see them face up. You give your judgment and you give out your grade. There are lots of things to take into consideration.
I remember the first Marquez-Pacquiao match. Pacquiao would have won that encounter had judge Burt Clemens rightly scored the first round 10-6 instead of 10-7. This should also remind Marquez that he retained that crown because of the judges scores. Now that the scores are not coming his way, he starts whining.. what a loser.
The recent fight can go either way. These are two entirely different boxing styles. It is natural to get contrasting verdict.
The judges deserves the merit of being a judge by profession. Trinidad is a reporter and he deserves the merit of a reporter. To say his personal bias and wants the world to take it as gospel truth... that is not reporting.
Trinidad can keep on whinning... it is his opinion. I saw the fight three times yesterday... i can say that there is half truth to what Trinidad said. Half because there was something more in winning the boxing than outpunching your opponent just as there are 12 rounds in the said fight. As a boxing afficionado, Trinidad should have known it: what matters most is not his opinion but the opinion of the judges.
After 24 rounds and 4 knockout.... it should be a finished business... or maybe let them meet 3 years after. Huh? Let us see who is a better boxer by that time.
I work out the whole evening up until early morning with my brand new PC trying to install vista into it. It is not the first time that i get to install it. It is not also the first time that i get into trouble making it compatible with most of my gadgets.
Again, not all the things that I have are brand new; but all of them are top of the line. I just could not image how most of the issues would be compatibility with the hardware and the drivers that are provided with it. BUT, the integration of all the machines should be done. It is just exasperating that I cannot install VISTA without having to pay much time for making it compatible with the working systems. It is suppose to be backward compatible but it is not.
In my effort to get the best help in the world, i ran into this video. http://en.4you.dada.net/videos/cat/humor/?video_id=6504476 It did not give me the solution to my problem but it did give me the relief and the idea on what to do next.
After watching the video, I went and reformat the brand new PC and install SUSE instead! Chow! All system working... haha... printers, fax, old PC with old OS are well integrated and even the only working VISTA in the office is well integrated! Darn, i should have listened to my instinct and not waste much of my precious time.
Whoever made that video, Thanks man but i do not have that kind of hardware that reads the manual by itself and perform the windows installation as well as the one that you have. I am saving our money though. I am returning the VISTA for all its worth.
Almost every single small business would like to have their own website. Who would NOT like to have a www.URCOMPNAME.COM, right? Well, I could be wrong. It will be a lost not to have one though.
Many think that website creation is expensive. I would like to say that setting up one would cost you less than what you think. It has been tested by many. I personally have made up my own website from nill. I only spent for my domain name. Of course, i want to have my www.joanmanlunas.com. I do not want any idiot to register it and put some nasty pictures of naked women in that site.
So, how do you get your own domain name? First thing you need to do is do a domain lookup. You check for domain name availability of your desired name. There are a lot of domain name registration company like www.anaffordableoption.com that can let you search for your name. They also offer related names if your chosen name is not available.
I personally pick www.anaffordableoption.com for its cheap domain name and web hosting. It is also secure. Paypal & Major Credit cards are accepted. I also got discount domain name registration from the same company. They do not force you to host
your page in there site. They offer cheap affordable web hosting though. My friend also availed of the ecommerce web site hosting of www.anaffordableoption.com. For me, I decided to just get my 5 year low cost domain registration and an inexpensive web hosting package. The five-year domain name registration only cost me $50.
The domain management console is simple. It also allows me to create up to 90 subdomains. It is worth the $50 that I spent. www.anaffordableoption.com rocks!
The benefit of hiring a team of bloggers for your business is on the number of unique web content that you can get from such unique individuals. Think of somebody updating your web content regularly while you take control of the other aspects of your business.
What would be a good composition for a blogging team? I would say that the more diverse the team, the better. My team is composed of college graduates and masters of their own fields. A quarter of the team is from the academe, while there are freelance writers, sales agents, insurance agents, Realtors, businessmen, programmers, webmasters, tech support & customer service agents. You might not believe it but I personally have a ten-year teaching experience in Philosophy and most of us are currently enrolled for our MBA. We are honed writers, sharpened by our effort to capture in words the sentiment, timber and needs of our vocation.
We can be invisible. We can work in the background if you wish or we can use our names to make it appear as testimonials. To top it all, it is a reasonably priced solution. The pricing in Philippine peso can range from 20K to 50K per month depending on how many articles you want to publish each week. This includes consultation, two revisions and future updates at reduced rate.
The more articles you publish on your website, the more remarkable is the effect of search results on the your website and your business as a whole.
Finally, I call my team, the JoanManlunas.com Team
There are times when you have to let go of what you have and who you are at present for what you shall become. Of course, you take the risk of losing everything when what you want to achieve will never come to reality. You also have to experience the pains of giving up something or someone dear to you.
----
When you have nothing with you, you can only lose nothing. Hence, there will be no pain of losing. But what life will that be if you have NOTHING. Yes, you have everything to gain but what kind of life will that be.
----
Man has to experience pain - pain is what makes him human.
