God Did Not Sink the Titanic

God did not sink the Titanic

A lot people have often thought God was behind the sinking of Titanic. :D

Preachers would often tell their congregation, ‘God sank the Titanic, He was offended after some ship officer uttered the words “The ship’s too big not even the hand of God can sink it.”‘ Then in turn, the badly informed Christians would tell others about the legalistic idea about God.

God did not sink the Titanic, and He was not “offended” when he heard the officer spoke the those “offensive” words. Not sure if that was really spoken, or was just an urban legend.

God is love, as 1 John 4:8 says “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love” , and just like any person whether good or evil does not harm the people he loves.

God did not sink the Titanic.

My Stock Photos

Posted on July 29, 2011 by Gwapito | Leave a comment

My photography skills is improving. My basis of improvement is when “most” of my photos are being approved by the inspectors in the stockphoto sites that I contribute to.

I used to be so frustrated especially with iStockphoto. Their inspectors are so meticulous. Most of my photos were rejected. I stopped submitting, I focused on vectors or illustrations instead. See my photos and vectors of people. Lately, that changed. So I feel happy.

If you’re a web or graphics designer and looking for photos to be used on your site, choose iStockphoto, it is the leading and pioneer in  stock photography. They have millions of photos, illustrations, audios, and even videos or movies.

I Change Myself First

Posted on July 11, 2011 by Gwapito | Leave a comment

Selfish

All of us have selfish nature. We think that everything surrounds our self.

When we’ve done something good, we take the credit. Forgetting others who assisted us, including God.

When I score a goal in soccer game, I celebrate, and relish how awesome feat I just did. I forgot my team mate who passed the ball to me.

So selfish.

In Facebook, my friend’s status says about how disgusted he was of a stupid co-worker. Others, burst out their endless rants of others’ foolish behavior.

Not too long ago, I went to watch our team play in a futsal tournament.

During break, I shared my harmless comment and observation about the team’s tactics. But, what I got was wrath from a team mate, and telling me to shut up.

Initially, I was mad at his tantrums. But, instead of dwelling on that incident. I decided to change myself first, take a deep breath, and also constantly have the mindset, that “I myself is also not perfect, and just learn to forgive others”.

Changing myself first, instead of ‘uselessly try others to change for me’ is one of the great things to do. It will benefit me, so I can move on.

Also good for the health.

The Unglamorous Pinoy Showbiz

Posted on June 23, 2011 by Gwapito | Leave a comment

Showbusinesses looks so glamorous, everybody wants to be a part of it.

Actors and actresses wear expensive clothes, eat in high end restaurants. Some of these actors’ residences are featured on television, showing off imported stuff.

The actors and actresses get all the glamor and high paycheck at the expense of the unsung heroes of the film industry: the overlooked secretary, the hardworking film editor, the janitor and so on, all just get a paltry of the millions of the money that it earns.

I used to have an officemate who used to worked for a famous movie production in Manila owned by a certain Mama Liliput. He said, their film editor only get less than 10,000 pesos a month. I could not believe my ears.

That’s the film editor. How about the janitor’s salary? That’s up to us to imagine, hehe..

Manila media is at it again, promoting or teaching the whole of the Philippines mispronunciations.

In this latest tv commercial below, at the 22 second portion, they pronounced cycle as sekel. Tsk tsk tsk.

The End of Days

Posted on May 24, 2011 by Gwapito | 1 Comment

I believe in the End of the World. I believe in Jesus Christ. I believe in all his words.

I believe when Jesus said that the end will come. Jesus spoke of the End of Days in Matthew 24.

Not a single person has the knowledge of the The End. Jesus warned about such persons in the Bible verse above, they’re “false prophets”.

The preacher in the botched May 21, 2011 prediction is clearly a false prophet. Harold Camping is a false prophet.

Ironically, Camping and his blind followers are urging the whole humanity to read the Bible. Probably, they left out Matthew 24 when reading their Bibles.

They even have a new (wrong) date, it’s October 21, 2011.

On the positive side, their effort would remind us about ourselves, the Bible, and Jesus.

Jesus Christ does know when it would take place. Read Matthew 24.

You Stole My Heart Away

Posted on May 19, 2011 by Gwapito | Leave a comment

Now, it’s time for me to emote. I just love this song. A friend originally posted this on her Facebook wall.

I dedicate this song to the women I’ve loved, but never loved me; to the women I’ve loved, but could only like me; to the one I’ve loved, then loved me back, but did not love me later; and to one I will love and will love me back forever.

The song is performed by Big Mountain.

I Got Bisaya.com!

Posted on May 6, 2011 by Gwapito | Leave a comment

I am the happy new owner of the domain name Bisaya.com!

God deserves the credit for slowly answering my prayers. I’ve been asking for premium domain names both in English and Philippine based domains. He answered it. Patience pays off!

I could still vividly remember, years ago I used to visit Bisaya.com  to check for English to Bisaya definitions. It was owned by an American then, ironically.

Still thinking a lot of things to make this domain useful. I thought of making this a sort of one stop hub of all things Bisaya. Bisaya jokes, a forum, a blog, dictionary etc.

My other premium domain is Azkals.com. You might want to visit it and join in the forum.

Bin Laden is Dead

Posted on May 2, 2011 by Gwapito | Leave a comment

I must admit, I did like Bin Laden arrested or get killed.

Justice has been done to the thousands of innocent people he killed on September 11, 2001.

Credits to the soldiers who constantly risking their own lives and tirelessly tracked his footsteps.

While we are still in this fallen world, there will be another evil leader that would replace Bin Laden. But one’s things for sure, evil have momentary victory.

Evil is always a loser.

Places in the Philippines I’d Like to Visit

Posted on April 22, 2011 by Gwapito | 3 Comments

Not just “like”, I would love to visit these places in the Philippines in the next five (5) years.

Since I was kid, I dreamed of one day visiting these places.

Baguio – called “the summer capital of the Philippines”, because even its hottest part of the day is the coldest in some places in the country.

Davao City – the largest city in the world.

Cebu City – although I used to live here for fifteen years, the queen city of the south will always be my queen.

Boracay – who does not want to go there? Practically every one wants to go there including me.

Marawi City – Actually, I’ve been there once, but I was only within MSU campus premises because  this city often regarded as one of the most dangerous places in the Philippines, makes me want to visit it.

Jolo – the remote island in the southern part Mindanao. I’m just curious what this place actually looks like.

Batangas City – the accent of people living there is my primary reason. I’d like to hear them speak right in their own city.

Updated (added new cities)

Tawi-Tawi – the remotest island in the Philippines. Just like Jolo, curiosity is the reason why I want to visit, the second is to disprove to other Pinoys the notion about this place.
