In what seemed to be a prophecy, Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. once told his only son Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III to serve and lead the country in the best of his capacity.
In his letter to Noynoy dated August 25, 1973, almost a year after Martial Law was imposed, Ninoy lamented his incarceration and asked his son to continue his advocacies.
“The only advice I can give you: Live with honor and follow your conscience. There is no greater nation on earth than our Motherland. No greater people than our own. Serve them with all your heart, with all your might and with all your strength,” the older Aquino said.
“Son, the ball is now in your hands,” added Ninoy.
Thirty-six years later, Ninoy’s hunch proved to be true—with his only son now taking oath as the 15th President of the Republic of the Philippines.
Although Ninoy and his wife, the late president Corazon Aquino (who died of cancer August 2009), did not live to see this day, the younger Aquino took his oath before his four sisters, Ballsy, Pinky, Viel, and Kris, and before millions of Filipinos who believed his promise to eradicate corruption.
‘So help me God’
Amid cheers, Associate Justice Conchita Carpio-Morales administered Aquino’s oath of office at the highly yellow Quirino grandstand, minutes short of the 12:00 time as mandated by the Constitution.
A 21-cannon salute was delivered after Aquino’s oath while two choppers showered the crowd with yellow rose petals.
Fr. Catalino Arevalo, the family’s spiritual adviser, held the bible where Aquino symbolically placed his hand as he delivered his oath.
Earlier, Vice President Jejomar Binay also took the oath administered by Morales.
In a brief but highly symbolic move, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo formally relinquished her post to President-elect Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino.
The two arrived at the Quirino grandstand at exactly 10:35 am and exchanged handshakes before the crowd.
Earlier, Aquino and Arroyo shared the presidential car, a tradition in inaugurals.
At the Quirino grandstand, Arroyo then made her final pass in review. She was seen smiling at the yellow crowd.
Arroyo then left with her personal car.

Yoga Relieving Stress and Tension?
June 23rd, 2010
No comments
Yoga includes a number of time proven stress relief methods together, this includes exercise, listening to calming music, breathing exercises, meditation practices, guided imagery (this one depends on the style of yoga you practice, for stress release stay away from power yoga and stick to gentle or basic yoga), and stretching.
In general yoga includes moving the body into different poses and stretches while concentrating on intentional and controlled breathing. This allowed the body to be relaxed and energized at the same time, a rare combination. This type of practice benefits the body by including oxygenating the blood, which travels through the body delivering more oxygen to all the cells of the body. This relaxes the muscles and quiets the mind. Yoga is partially intention as well, if you are preforming your movements with the intention of releasing stress and tension it will help.
You can get these benefits for a relatively small amount of effort. At fifteen or twenty-five minutes a day you can get some amazing results for stress relief. Yoga is a natural counterbalance to stress and will strengthen the way you deal with stress on the daily basis. It’s not a quick fix and won’t work immediately or the first time you try it, it’s a process and the more time and effort you put into it the more results you will get.
Implementing yoga into your stress relief routine will help to slow down your heart rate, reduce blood pressure, calm feelings of anxiety, bring hormones into balance, enhance your sleep, and more. Yoga also helps clear the mind and un-clutter the brain which often create stress and sometimes even tension headaches.
Recommendation:
You can buy this very good book Yoga Awakening Meditation Collection and discover Natural Stress Relief, Increase Energy, Improve Memory And Concentration, Enhance Creativity And Intuition, Regain Mastery & Control Of Your Thoughts Through Yoga & Meditation. Restore Balance To Your Life And Realize Your Full Human Potential!
Any yoga pose for any length of time will help with stress release but focusing on the neck, chest and shoulders will get you the most amount of benefit in a shorter amount of time. Even simple movements such as neck circles, shoulder rolls, chest expansion, spinal twists, will aid in the release of stress and tension. In general men tend to hold their stress and tension in their shoulders, and women tend to hold theirs in their lower backs.
Training the body and mind can be accomplished with yoga, training ourselves to respond to the request for relaxation and stress release. Creating a new and healthy habit of relaxation that can be very helpful when we are in the middle of stressful situations as well as after. (By: Gaylene Thoeny)

Bicycle-powered charger launches by Nokia
June 4th, 2010
No comments
HELSINKI (AFP) – – The world’s top mobile phone maker Nokia on Thursday released details of four new cheap phone models and a battery charger powered by the energy generated from riding a bicycle.
The charger, which can be fitted into any Nokia phone with a 2 mm charger jack, uses a dynamo to generate electricity from the movement of the wheels, Nokia said in a statement.
“Bicycles are the most widespread means of transport in many markets around the world, so this is just one more benefit to be gained from an activity people are already doing,” Alex Lambeek, Vice President at Nokia, said in the statement.
The price of the charger kit, which also includes a holder for securing the phone to the bicycle, will vary according to market, but in countries like Kenya, where the product was introduced on Thursday, it would be around 15 euros (18.43 dollars), a Nokia spokesman told AFP.
To begin charging, a cyclist needs to travel around six kilometres per hour (four miles per hour), and while charging times will vary depending on battery model, a 10 minute journey at 10 kmh produces around 28 minutes of talk time or 37 hours of standby time, the spokesman said. The faster you ride, the more battery life you generate.
The charger is set to become available through selected retailers and the company’s online store before year-end, Nokia said.
The four new phones it also introduced in Kenya on Thursday target developing markets, a key growth area for the Finnish company, and also contain features designed for the needs of people in countries where access to electricity is limited, such as a six-week battery standby time.
Shipments of the phone models, priced at 30-45 euros, will begin by September.
Facebook-Threat detected on videos

Last night, there’s nothing wrong with my Facebook videos until suddenly this morning when I try to view the videos I am trying to upload last night I cannot view it anymore, even the old ones. And my AVG anti-virus is detecting a threat and it seems that I am not the only experiencing it inside FB. I clicked on the play icon, the little play window enlarged as if it was about to play but then AVG popped up saying Threat Detected! Threat Name: Trojan Horse Exploit_c.FWR was located in the file.
It seems that only AVG Anti-virus is the only one who can detect or affected. Below is a temporary fix for us to enjoy and watch our FB videos. It worked fine and nothing crazy has happened to my computer. Now its just a matter for AVG to come up with a fix…
Temporary Fix:
- In AVG click – Tools / Advanced Settings / Online Shield / Web Protection
- Below where it says: Exclude Host/IP/Domain
- Paste this: static.ak.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/z4OG5/hash/7qkbs3nb.swf
- Click Apply, enjoy your videos……..
This is a temporary work around for the issue….

This is kinda old but for the sake of others who don’t know yet, see the side of Mark Munoz you probably won’t see on any other interview. Mark Munoz talks about his faith as a Christian. He gives a brief testimony of when he came to know Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. He hopes to address concerns Christians have in reconciling the sport of MMA with being a Christian.

Bitter Result

The day after the election, the Philippines is waiting for the fast results while the numbers are getting bigger for Noynoy though it’s only a partial and unofficial tally. While on the other hand, Manny, Gibo, and Dick, like gentlemen, gallantly conceded defeat, and wished the winner, all the best, in all the challenges that lies ahead until 2016.
Unfortunately, after the polling day, a lot of their supporters are obviously still ranting & raving, wishing that Noynoy fails as President. Because we all know even though Erap has the history of graft and corruption against him, still until now he is still in the top list getting most of the votes. Read more…
