TECHNICAL SUPPORT : INSTALLING LOVE
Tech Support: Yes, how can I help you?
Customer: Well, after much consideration, I've decided to install Love. Can you guide me through the process?
Tech Support: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?
Customer:Well, I'm not very technical, but I think I'm ready- What do I do first?
Tech Support: The first step is to open y our Heart. Have you located your Heart?
Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now.
Is it okay to install Love while they are running?
Tech Support: What programs are running ?
Customer: Let's see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem, Grudge and Resentment running right now.
Tech Support: No problem. Love will gradually erase Past Hurt from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory but it will no longer disrupt other programs. Love will eventually override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called High Self-Esteem. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and Resentment. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed. Can you turn those off?
Customer: I don't know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?
Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke Forgiveness. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and Resentment have been completely erased.
Customer: Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is that normal?
Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get the upgrades.
Customer: Oops! I have an error message already. It says, ' Error - Program not run on external components' What should I do?
Tech Support: Don't worry. It means that the Love program is set up to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart.
In non-technical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself before you can Love others.
Customer: So, what should I do?
Tech Support: Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the following files: Forgive-Self; Realize your Worth; and Acknowledge your Limitations.
Customer: Okay, done.
Tech Support: Now, copy them to the 'My Heart' directory. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty programming. Also, you need to delete Verbose Self-Criticism from all directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back
Customer: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files. Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?
Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but eventually everything gets it at the proper time. So Love is installed and running. One more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in turn share it with others and return some cool modules back to you.
Customer: Thank you, God.
God/Tech Support: You're Welcome, Anytime.
Happy Hearts Day Everyone!!

doing things out of love
it's vday tomorrow and i'm sure a lot of bloggers will be talking about their valentines escapades with their loved ones.
i decided to talk about something else but still tackling that four-letter word we are celebrating every february 14.
I love the Philippines! Filipinos are resilient and i truly believe that if we do our part, our country can still progress. Gandhi once said "be the change you want to see in the world", so what can we do to help this country we all love? if we can't even do the simple things, how can we do bigger things?
check out the 12 little things every filipino can do to help our country:
1. follow traffic rules. follow the law.
2. whenever you buy or pay for anything, always ask for an official receipt.
3. don’t buy smuggled goods. buy local. buy filipino.
4. when you talk to others, especially foreigners speak positively about us and our country.
5. respect your traffic officer, policeman and soldier.
6. do not litter. dispose your garbage properly. segregate. recycle. conserve.
7. support your church.
8. during elections, do your solemn duty.
9. pay your employees well.
10. pay your taxes.
11. adopt a scholar or a poor child.
12. be a good parent. teach your kids to follow the law and love our country.
they have a website too.
i haven't lost hope in the filipino.
let's show our country that we still love her.

stress!
This afternoon, while trying to take a break from all the work that needs to be done, i chanced upon this site and found the following article helpful:
We are complex animals living complex lives in which we are not always able to cope with the difficulties that we face. As a result, we are subject to feelings of tension and stress, for example the cognitive dissonance and potential shame of doing something outside our values. To handle this discomfort we use various coping methods.
Acting out: not coping - giving in to the pressure to misbehave.
Aim inhibition: lowering sights to what seems more achievable.
Attack: trying to beat down that which is threatening you.
Avoidance: mentally or physically avoiding something that causes distress.
Compartmentalization: separating conflicting thoughts into separated compartments.
Compensation: making up for a weakness in one area by gain strength in another.
Conversion: subconscious conversion of stress into physical symptoms.
Denial: refusing to acknowledge that an event has occurred.
Displacement: shifting of intended action to a safer target.
Dissociation: separating oneself from parts of your life.
Fantasy: escaping reality into a world of possibility.
Idealization: playing up the good points and ignoring limitations of things desired.
Identification: copying others to take on their characteristics.
Intellectualization: avoiding emotion by focusing on facts and logic.
Introjection: Bringing things from the outer world into the inner world.
Passive aggression: avoiding refusal by passive avoidance.
Projection: seeing your own unwanted feelings in other people.
Rationalization: creating logical reasons for bad behavior.
Reaction Formation: avoiding something by taking a polar opposite position.
Regression: returning to a child state to avoid problems.
Repression: subconsciously hiding uncomfortable thoughts.
Somatization: psychological problems turned into physical symptoms.
Sublimation: channeling psychic energy into acceptable activities.
Suppression: consciously holding back unwanted urges.
Symbolization: turning unwanted thoughts into metaphoric symbols.
Trivializing: Making small what is really something big.
Undoing: actions that psychologically 'undo' wrongdoings for the wrongdoer.
So, what's your coping mechanism?

reminiscin part 2
Once there lived a kind lady farmer in a not so faraway land. She lves the soul and the plants and obviously she's got all the expertise- there was to know in sowing and growing all green things.
One day, an old hermit came to pass by the kind lady farmer's house. He was so weak and tired and so he asked for water. The lady farmer readily let the old man in to rest and provided him of the things he needed.
The time came when the old man had to leave. He thanked the kind lady farmer and as a gift, handed to her 83 seeds. "These are magic seeds", he said. "They grow by themselves. And when the right time comes, they will be your source of pride and joy." With that, the old man left leaving the kind lady farmer puzzled.
"How on erth could there be magic seeds?" the lady farmer asked herself. So she planted all 83 seeds and yet cared for them like real seeds, not magic ones. She watered them everyday, talked to them and dealt with all 83 like real people. Their growth was far more than just good.; they were all fast-growing to become beautiful plants. And soon thereafter, the lady farmer realized that the seeds seemed to have minds of their own: some refused to hear her words and yet the rest would often heed and follow.
Years passed in the not so faraway land and people of the town were amazed to see sixty-eight beautiful sturdy trees surrounding the kind lady farmer's house.
There need not be old hermits traveling, or magic seeds for us to become strong, mighty, sturdy trees that we are right now. It was the kind-hearted lady farmer who unconditionally made us become what we are today. There might be times when our pranks and mischief became too hard to reconsider, but the kind lady farmer's heart was a heart of a mother always willing to take back, accept once more and reconsider. The lady farmer was too good to be true but then her motherly presence touched our lives with such spontaneity and warmth that made us go through the seasons of our four great years in CPMT. Our childishness, irresponsibility and our passion for things speeled F-U-N were always there trying to block our paths, but kind lady farmer was always there to fish us out just in the nick of time.
Yes, indeed, lady farmer Rivero is one of a kind. Your love is a bounty, your patience always an extra mile long. You believed in us when there was no one else left to trust our capacity. Yours were the busiest hands in the department, yet with your motherly goodness you always try to find time to hear your children's cries. You were never swayed even when people try to belittle us. You welcomed their opinions but never used them against us.
To the CPMT faculty and staff, your're the anthropoids of our lives..the bees and the butterflies that made our growth far more easy and comfortable. Of course there were "ouch"-y times but we co-existed nonetheless. No hard feelings. You needed us and we needed you to survive.
To the Augustinian community, you were the fertilized soil that made our growth even more possible. You helped made us who we are today - trees deeply rooted with Augustinian values and principles.
To the old hermit who believed that there is magic is us, our parents, your unending support in all occassion was nevertheless as immeasurable as your love for us. You were and still are the truest believer, you never doubted us. You're always proud of us.
And finally, to God Almighty, our sunshine and rain, our morning ang night. The reason for our existence, all there we raise in your name!
Indeed, thak you's are never enough to show how deeply grateful we are for the bounty we have received in our lives. Blessings are always too plenty, our ten fingers are not enough to count them all. All these graces and blessings we've received are meant to be shared with others. We will bear fruit and we will share them. However not enough, we, the 68 beautiful sturdy trees, with humble hearts, say for the nth time...THANK YOU! =)
