Questions That Have Answers

He chooses the bread so he can eat and have enough strength for the next job he will do ... which is to get the key next ... and then escape. So I am a philosopher now?
 

I Agree

 

The Irony of Life

Why is it that when one is told to eat healthy, the person manages to eat the food that is prohibited? And why is it that when NO smoking and drinking has been emphasized the urge to do it is irresistible?

Like my sister who has hypercholesterolemia insists she wants Mang Inasal instead of fish.

Or my friend who is diabetic but ate halo-halo with ice cream like there is no tomorrow?

Or my friend who forgets he is an alcoholic and asks for a beer because he just wants to hit the sack and call it the night.

Or somebody I know who can't stop smoking until he vomited fresh blood because he has gastric erosions?

You really have to get sick to make you realize that ... YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE.

Is This The New Normal?

There’s a national war going on right now which is being fought online. Objectives are the “hearts and minds” of the Filipino people, their loyalty if you can get it - their compliance is good enough. Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter media probably represent the front lines of this war, and as a result, everything is gassed-up. All interactions become passionate engagements, and disagreements become online shouting matches. Everyone’s picking their side, or maybe the sides have already been picked.

And pretty soon, it’s probably not just going to be online anymore. Consider this example which to me has already moved out of bounds in different dimensions, realms, or spheres of decency and civility. It all started with this post 

and see how netizens reacted:

We intentionally did not include the names of the commenters.

Questions You Thought Don't Have Answers

 Filipinos love a good riddle and answering crossword puzzles. Our desire to answer all the questions and completely finish the job gives us some kind of titillation, the need to continue and persevere until we accomplish the task. It tickles our brain cells, and we feel mighty proud once the cryptogram is decoded.

People ask why everybody loves Jessica Fletcher of Murder She Wrote? Or Ben Matlock or Jake and the Fatman.  Well,  they always solve mysteries.

Too bad, there are a lot of questions and mysteries out there that we may never learn the answers to their intriguing nature. The universe is far-reaching and its mysteries limitless, and there are many things that even geniuses have their arms raised upwards because they don't have answers to some of these queries. 

Let’s explore some of the questions that there are no answers to.

Question:  Can you yawn when you are asleep?

Answer: Yawning is always associated with when you are tired or bored.

Are you tired or bored when you are asleep? NO. But yawning can occur after waking up, before bedtime, when you are half asleep and yes there are recorded incidents when you can yawn when you are asleep.

Responding To Netizen's Comments

Netizen's Comment:

I have read Celebrating Father's Day With My Dad, and I was almost choking I could feel a big lump in my throat.  Was it because I can relate to it or was it because your choice of words was almost palpable? Do you also have that feeling of longing on Mother's Day or do you have other people you are grateful for?

Response: 

Aside from my father, there are still 2 Fathers that I want to say Thank You to this Father's Day.

1.  One of them is God The Father - the greatest Father of them all.  Father's Day should not be complete without looking back at what He has done for us. He has created the sun, the moon, the stars, and the planet Earth where we live in. He sent His son Jesus to redeem us from our sins and He has provided us with more than we could ever have imagined. He has surrounded us with people who always look out for us. He has given us family and friends who bless us every day with love and affection. God the Father should be part and parcel every year of celebrating Father's Day!

2. The second Father is my parish priest - my Father confessor, my Father rector, my second Father.  He was everything like my father - advisor, friend, attorney, mentor, coach, teacher, and counselor all rolled into one. He also was the one who recruited me to be his sacristan.

In one of the Father's Day celebrations when I was younger Father priest has given me something to think about ... "you know what you will do the next time Father's Day is approaching?  Just look at the crucifix and you will see two letters ... when you think about all the Father you are grateful.  If you concentrate ... you will figure out those letters ."

"Two letters ... what are those letters?" I asked. "That is your homework and when you have the answer ... come back to me."

I went home that day puzzled ... but I want to figure out the answer.  So I did what I have to do and as soon as I fixed my gaze on the crucifix at home ... the cross looked like the letter T ... so it seems. "Was that it ... and what's the second letter?" I asked.

Then I saw Jesus' body with his hands hanging on the cross ... resembling that of the letter Y.  "That's it!" I was so happy the answers just fall fast in my lap.

I went straight to the convent to tell Father-priest that I solved the mind-boggler. TY was all I said.

"You are a smart kid ... and you figure it out. TY is Thank You. From this day forward I want you to be grateful to your Mom and Dad. Say TY to everything they have done for you. Be appreciative of the little things they did for you and don't have the mindset that these are their obligations ... and that they need to SERVE you.  Think that they are doing this because they love you.  Now go back to your house ... hug your Dad and say Thank You."

"It's the start.  Now go out and spread the word."
