What is good with Morong Bataan, (Philippines)

Early last year at around February 2011, I, together with my colleagues went to our other colleagues living at Morong, Bataan (Philippines). It was as fresh and natural place as I never thought the place could be. Some of the nice places my eyes have captured are as well together in this write-up.

River water rushing in through... Breathe in, breathe out and listen.

Morong Bataan's (Philippines) famous hanging bridge.

A view from the top of that well-known hanging bridge

The boat and the sand.

"The boat and the flags..."

Sit down and relax. Relax over these natural and bulky stones.

Get down and chase those nipa hut cottages... And much over your packed lunch.

She sells sea shells by the sea shore... Bring back the kid in you  and  pick-up much as you want shells.

Pick your lucky color with these colorful boats.

Oh yeah! You've seen it right. A natural falls at the heart of a forest.

Hills and trees... Let them sway with the breeze.

10 Ways to Jump-start a good mood

I am such a moody person actually and I bet alot out there are as well. Right from the morning, as an individual doesn't catch up a good sleep, everything falls into a bad mood. As I have read this article last 2008 on how I can switch bad mood to another, well it is pretty not bad to follow some of the tips.


Here's a host of easy tricks that reduce stress and boost bliss--and don't cost mush time or money!


1. Chow on chocolate - There's reason why biting into a candy bar feels heavenly--chocolate sends feel-good chemicals throughout your body.


2. Tune in, chill out - A study published in the British medical journal Heart found that listening to slow-tempo music like classical or "easy-listening" songs reduced  heart and respiratory rates.


3. Breathe deeply - Recent research suggests that taking long, deep breaths for just 10 minutes a day can lower blood pressure. By breathing deeply, the body gets the oxygen it needs to function at optimum levels--plus the technique is free, and portable.


4. Schedule a short siesta - In research from the National Sleep Foundation, participants who napped for ten minutes in the afternoon experienced a bigger boost in mood and cognitive function than groups who napped 5, 20 and 30 minutes.


5. Get into the glow - Sunlight triggers the body to produce vitamin D. For most people, just 10-20 minutes will do. Lack of vitamin D has been linked to depression in some studies.


6. Stop and smell the Herbs - In a study at Western Oregon University, the smell of lavender relieved feelings of tension after anxiety-provoking tastks. Get your favorite bath soak or candle in a lavender scent.


7. Bon with Bowzer - Research at the University of Missouri at Columbia found that a few minutes of playing with four-legged friends raises levels of good-mood-inducing brain chemicals serotonin and oxytocin.


8. Shop Around - Studies show that shopping releases the joy-inducing chemical dopamine in the brain. Even browsing activates the pleasure centers in the brain.


9. Hit the pavement - A recent study published in the journal "Medine & Science in Sports & Exercise" found that a 30-minute walk can bring feelings of well being.


10. Wear a rainbow - Want a burst of pep? Slip into something red and yellow. Research has shown that such "hot" colors trigger a chemical reaction in the body that mimics a mini adrenaline rush.

Student vs. Teacher... A who's who bottomline point

As I take a time again to browse over my Facebook timeline, I was able to see this overly nice reading, and again I am sharing this to all:


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 was 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 did 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 had 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 became 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 was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)


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 shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was 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 was in uproar.)


Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?


(The class broke 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 was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)


Professor : I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.
Student : That is it sir … Exactly! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.




P.S.
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 this to increase their knowledge … or FAITH.
By the way, that student was EINSTEIN.
