That moment was magical...there was a sweet song playing. There was harmony,love was in the air. They fell in love and started building castles in their dreams and promised forever with all certainty. But somewhere in the midst of the fun, they lost in the dance, something went wrong but could never do anything. They were just drifting away. Their fortress was falling apart. There were so many questions, but no one had an answer. The music stopped and then, there was silence..... When we truly love someone, we give our best and let that person see the pureness of our intentions. But sometimes, that person makes us cry and hurt us for the wrong reasons. That someone must have loved us enough to make him stand for what he truly felt. Now we faced with the seemingly impossible task of forgetting. we have burdened ourselves long enough but we still cant get out of this emotional trap. Let us remember that the more we try to forget someone we love,the more painful letting go it become. Sometimes we never had to take that person out of our hearts at all, for he will always be there no matter how hard we tried to drive him away. It wasn't his presence that made this difficult. It was our stubbornness to accept our destiny that aligned forgetting as next to impossible. We tried to keep a cold face but deep in our hearts,there was still that lingering hope for reconciliation. Somehow we still believe that we can rekindle small embers and relight the fire that once burned in our hearts. Their thoughts give us hope, but it also breeds the seeds of loneliness and despair. The only way to forget is to accept and the only way to move on is to look ahead and let the footprints of the past be blown by the wind of time. Only then can our hearts find a partner in the dance of life and hopefully never lost again.teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11973390308516015203noreply@blogger.com132tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865416208634437076.post-36357731863206707362010-03-11T23:49:00.000-08:002010-03-11T23:51:21.310-08:00A Friend<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-xETtrxtNRM1C1ouzrGRFMvGB6wCNUcua-_BawwxPAQfVzySfyDivjtkwyj_CB84f8r_1NMD8fDeiCmvqo1VjKPc-C2ONzeH3bbp76F1J3zfcfwa7pAX3nq9zyVmfo7es8ka1EsxvqyW6/s1600-h/dsc07419ot2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-xETtrxtNRM1C1ouzrGRFMvGB6wCNUcua-_BawwxPAQfVzySfyDivjtkwyj_CB84f8r_1NMD8fDeiCmvqo1VjKPc-C2ONzeH3bbp76F1J3zfcfwa7pAX3nq9zyVmfo7es8ka1EsxvqyW6/s400/dsc07419ot2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447651573840110706" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family: lucida grande; color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">I want to take your hand and understand</span><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande; color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">every single hair strand.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande; color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">I want to take every step and every mile just so i can</span><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande; color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">see your smile.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande; color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">I want to hold you in my arms and feel your pain</span><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande; color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">and stand with you in the pouring rain.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande; color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">I want to understand your ways, and be with you all</span><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande; color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">of my precious days</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande; color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">I want to be there when you're hurt and wipe your</span><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande; color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">tears with my shirt</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande; color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">I want to communicate and talk listen to every word</span><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande; color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">you have to say each and every day</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande; color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">I want to feel your love and warmth surrounding my</span><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande; color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">soul and me</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande; color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">I want to be embraced by every sound you make,</span><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande; color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">every feeling you take</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: lucida grande; color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">I'm feeling so bad and it's so sad it has to endbecause all you are is just a friend. </span><br /></span></div>teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11973390308516015203noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865416208634437076.post-32134845221928402292010-03-02T10:14:00.000-08:002010-03-12T01:45:49.271-08:00back off!!!!!! the material things..ehehhe<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255); font-style: italic;">Now a days people are so busy with the materialistic things in their lives when they should be looking for the things that truly matter! Like the people who are in their lives everyday! Get off the blackberry's...cellphones...and other electronic devices and spend quality time with those around you! Just remember that things cannot give you advice or hold you when things are going good or bad it is the family & friends that are truly special in our lives! Cherish them and be with them as much as possible because life is too short not to! Love your wives.. husbands boyfriends & girlfriends!! Why not do something nice for them today without expecting something in return!material things is easily to be gone in your life..but the people that always beside you...will stay with you..and always can count on them when you need their hands to help you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span></div>teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11973390308516015203noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865416208634437076.post-25101806908443441542010-01-08T02:28:00.000-08:002010-03-11T22:54:04.097-08:00how can u be sure if u love the person?<span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);">their is many saying about love...many quotes,,many poems,,example is this:</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);">your heart finally u Love is a feeling you feel when you feel that your going to feel a feeling that you've never felt before... :)</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);">Iba ang tinititigan sa tinitingnan. Ang tinititigan, sa isang bahagi lang nakatingin. Ang tinitingnan buong bahagi ang sinusuri. Iba rin ang iniintindi sa inuunawa. Ang iniintindi, pinipilit sa isipan. Ang inuunawa alam kung bakit dapat ipilit sa isipan. Kung kaya dapat: Tinitingnan ang mga bagay para maunawaan at hindi titigan lang at intindihin. :)</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);">“When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it’s not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.”..</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);">They say people come and go, but the truth is, no one really disappears from your life. People never really leave…their roles just change :)</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);">How do you move 0n? You move on when understand that there is no turning back..and blah..blah...blah</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);">i asked one of my friends...about this question!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);">he says: its a slow culmination of many thoughts and feelings through-out a period of time. For me it starts with thoughts of someone on a day to day basis. Little thoughts, but constant, maybe in-dispersed throughout the day. I begin to realize though that my private thought time becomes</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);">less about me, and more about the person I'm falling in love with. When I'm away from someone I love, really love, I become more concerned with her welfare, IE her health, her happiness, everything mentally and physically which would affect a loved one. Then, eventually, you become aware that the person of your affection, in fact is becoming more of an extension of you as a human being. Finally, for me, when you realize that you would give your very life for the one you love, you can be assured, at least i can, that your TRUE LOVE for this person, is an undeniable reality. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);">its true and real...a true person that know the real meaning of love...he had a girlfriend..she is lucky to have this man..that really love her..ehehe</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">for me...my answer is simple...i am sure that i love that person...because i felt it hear in my HEART...</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">i am not a perfect daughter,not a perfect sister,not a perfect friend,even not a perfect lover</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">but i am sure if i really love the person..even i know that it will coz pain here in my heart..ehehe</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">even that person say many things abt u...the word..that person dont realize that..little by little..hurting u.....but you still try to understand him...in a very deep understanding that u can give to that person...but still they still hurt u..ehehe...but still we all need to smile...and say to urself be strong...kaya ko yan...i can make it...i am teresa orian...i will always be teresa...never giving up...ehehe</span>teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11973390308516015203noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865416208634437076.post-43975053089908172002010-01-08T02:11:00.000-08:002011-11-30T04:51:57.580-08:00its gonna make sense<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 255, 255); font-family: webdings;font-family:georgia;" >Life comes in many shapes</span>

Your body is craving for stress that you wanna butt-in to other peeps business and sometimes you tend to misinterpret what they are saying,coz the truth is you can’t relate to what they are talking about.Your clueless of what they are saying but your body urges you to eavesdrop and get some 411’s to spill the information you’ve got.Maybe you are not aware that your making things worse than they already are!…</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);">The Radar Syndrome</span> <span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">= </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">There are people here in school that acts like a radar…its like they can find you wherever you are ( as if we have a huge campus ) yah!!

They go to school all dressed up and everything as in overdressed and all!! ( Not to mention the heavy make-up ) Hello! youre just going to school not a freaking photo shoot.My advice for you is to dress appropriately,settle for clothes that will flatter you but won’t go over the board,and be a little easy on your make-up.There are different styles on putting on make-up that looks simple but still enhances your features.</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);">Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Syndrome</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"> = </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">They are a little insecure of their sense of style and feel that their clothes don’t flatter their body and or face!

You’re wondering why it’s called Jufran Syndrome? it’s because they are nakikisawsaw with other peeps business’.If you want to listen to other peeps conversation,ok go ahead1( Though its wrong )just dont give your POV’s (point of view)just keep it to yourself especially if you are not close to them.</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);">The Jukebox Syndrome </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">= </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">These are the people that sing there lungs out,and they never run out of songs,their voice echoes in the corridor even though they can’t carry a tune.</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);">The Earsplitting Syndrome</span> <span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">= </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">Are for those peeps whose voices echo in the hallway,so that if she/he is at the end of the corridor,you still manage to hear what he/she is talking about at the other end.But take note,they are not shouting,that is their natural way of conversing.Their voice and laughter is like the combined bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);">The On High Syndrome</span><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"> = </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);">Have you seen someone who looks like they are lost? or they laugh even if though there’s no reason to laugh?

The Malayans followed in successive waves. These people belonged to a primitive epoch of Malayan culture, which has apparently survived to this day among certain groups such as the Igorots. The Malayan tribes that came later had more highly developed material cultures.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);"><img style="border: 0px solid ; margin: 10px; float: right;" src="http://pinas.dlsu.edu.ph/history/history01.jpg" alt="" width="201" height="150" />In the 14th cent. Arab traders from Malay and Borneo introduced Islam into the southern islands and extended their influence as far north as Luzon. The first Europeans to visit (1521) the Philippines were those in the Spanish expedition around the world led by the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan. Other Spanish expeditions followed, including one from New Spain (Mexico) under López de Villalobos, who in 1542 named the islands for the infante Philip, later Philip II.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">Spanish Control<strong> - </strong>The conquest of the Filipinos by Spain did not begin in earnest until 1564, when another expedition from New Spain, commanded by Miguel López de Legaspi, arrived. Spanish leadership was soon established over many small independent communities that previously had known no central rule. By 1571, when López de Legaspi established the Spanish city of Manila on the site of a Moro town he had conquered the year before, the Spanish foothold in the Philippines was secure, despite the opposition of the Portuguese, who were eager to maintain their monopoly on the trade of East Asia.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">Manila repulsed the attack of the Chinese pirate Limahong in 1574. For centuries before the Spanish arrived the Chinese had traded with the Filipinos, but evidently none had settled permanently in the islands until after the conquest. Chinese trade and labor were of great importance in the early development of the Spanish colony, but the Chinese came to be feared and hated because of their increasing numbers, and in 1603 the Spanish murdered thousands of them (later, there were lesser massacres of the Chinese).</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">The Spanish governor, made a viceroy in 1589, ruled with the advice of the powerful royal audiencia. There were frequent uprisings by the Filipinos, who resented the encomienda system. By the end of the 16th cent. Manila had become a leading commercial center of East Asia, carrying on a flourishing trade with China, India, and the East Indies. The Philippines supplied some wealth (including gold) to Spain, and the richly laden galleons plying between the islands and New Spain were often attacked by English freebooters. There was also trouble from other quarters, and the period from 1600 to 1663 was marked by continual wars with the Dutch, who were laying the foundations of their rich empire in the East Indies, and with Moro pirates. One of the most difficult problems the Spanish faced was the subjugation of the Moros. Intermittent campaigns were conducted against them but without conclusive results until the middle of the 19th cent. As the power of the Spanish Empire waned, the Jesuit orders became more influential in the Philippines and acquired great amounts of property.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">Revolution, War, and U.S. Control<strong> - </strong>It was the opposition to the power of the clergy that in large measure brought about the rising sentiment for independence. Spanish injustices, bigotry, and economic oppressions fed the movement, which was greatly inspired by the brilliant writings of José Rizal. In 1896 <img style="border: 0px solid ; margin: 10px; float: left;" src="http://pinas.dlsu.edu.ph/history/history02.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="135" /> revolution began in the province of Cavite, and after the execution of Rizal that December, it spread throughout the major islands. The Filipino leader, Emilio Aguinaldo, achieved considerable success before a peace was patched up with Spain. The peace was short-lived, however, for neither side honored its agreements, and a new revolution was brewing when the Spanish-American War broke out in 1898.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">After the U.S. naval victory in Manila Bay on May 1, 1898, Commodore George Dewey supplied Aguinaldo with arms and urged him to rally the Filipinos against the Spanish. By the time U.S. land forces had arrived, the Filipinos had taken the entire island of Luzon, except for the old walled city of Manila, which they were besieging. The Filipinos had also declared their independence and established a republic under the first democratic constitution ever known in Asia. Their dreams of independence were crushed when the Philippines were transferred from Spain to the United States in the Treaty of Paris (1898), which closed the Spanish-American War.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">In Feb., 1899, Aguinaldo led a new revolt, this time against U.S. rule. Defeated on the battlefield, the Filipinos turned to guerrilla warfare, and their subjugation became a mammoth project for the United States—one that cost far more money and took far more lives than the Spanish-American War. The insurrection was effectively ended with the capture (1901) of Aguinaldo by Gen. Frederick Funston, but the question of Philippine independence remained a burning issue in the politics of both the United States and the islands. The matter was complicated by the growing economic ties between the two countries. Although comparatively little American capital was invested in island industries, U.S. trade bulked larger and larger until the Philippines became almost entirely dependent upon the American market. Free trade, established by an act of 1909, was expanded in 1913.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">When the Democrats came into power in 1913, measures were taken to effect a smooth transition to self-rule. The Philippine assembly already had a popularly elected lower house, and the Jones Act, passed by the U.S. Congress in 1916, provided for a popularly elected upper house as well, with power to approve all appointments made by the governor-general. It also gave the islands their first definite pledge of independence, although no specific date was set.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">When the Republicans regained power in 1921, the trend toward bringing Filipinos into the government was reversed. Gen. Leonard Wood, who was appointed governor-general, largely supplanted Filipino activities with a semimilitary rule. However, the advent of the Great Depression in the United States in the 1930s and the first aggressive moves by Japan in Asia (1931) shifted U.S. sentiment sharply toward the granting of immediate independence to the Philippines.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">The Commonwealth<strong> - </strong>The Hare-Hawes Cutting Act, passed by Congress in 1932, provided for complete independence of the islands in 1945 after 10 years of self-government under U.S. supervision. The bill had been drawn up with the aid of a commission from the Philippines, but Manuel L. Quezon, the leader of the dominant Nationalist party, opposed it, partially because of its threat of American tariffs against Philippine products but principally because of the provisions leaving naval bases in U.S. hands. Under his influence, the Philippine legislature rejected the bill. The Tydings-McDuffie Independence Act (1934) closely resembled the Hare-Hawes Cutting Act, but struck the provisions for American bases and carried a promise of further study to correct “imperfections or inequalities.”</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">The Philippine legislature ratified the bill; a constitution, approved by President Roosevelt (Mar., 1935) was accepted by the Philippine people in a plebiscite (May); and Quezon was elected the first president (Sept.). When Quezon was inaugurated on Nov. 15, 1935, the Commonwealth of the Philippines was formally established. Quezon was reelected in Nov., 1941. To develop defensive forces against possible aggression, Gen. Douglas MacArthur was brought to the islands as military adviser in 1935, and the following year he became field marshal of the Commonwealth army.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">World War II<strong> - </strong>War came suddenly to the Philippines on Dec. 8 (Dec. 7, U.S. time), 1941, when Japan attacked without warning. Japanese troops invaded the islands in many places and launched a pincer drive on Manila. MacArthur’s scattered defending forces (about 80,000 troops, four fifths of them Filipinos) were forced to withdraw to Bataan Peninsula and Corregidor Island, where they entrenched and tried to hold until the arrival of reinforcements, meanwhile guarding the entrance to Manila Bay and denying that important harbor to the Japanese. But no reinforcements were forthcoming. The Japanese occupied Manila on Jan. 2, 1942. MacArthur was ordered out by President Roosevelt and left for Australia on Mar. 11; Lt. Gen. Jonathan Wainwright assumed command.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">The besieged U.S.-Filipino army on Bataan finally crumbled on Apr. 9, 1942. Wainwright fought on from Corregidor with a garrison of about 11,000 men; he was overwhelmed on May 6, 1942. After his capitulation, the Japanese forced the surrender of all remaining defending units in the islands by threatening to use the captured Bataan and Corregidor troops as hostages. Many individual soldiers refused to surrender, however, and guerrilla resistance, organized and coordinated by U.S. and Philippine army officers, continued throughout the Japanese occupation.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">Japan’s efforts to win Filipino loyalty found expression in the establishment (Oct. 14, 1943) of a “Philippine Republic,” with José P. Laurel, former supreme court justice, as president. But the people suffered greatly from Japanese brutality, and the puppet government gained little support. Meanwhile, President Quezon, who had escaped with other high officials before the country fell, set up a government-in-exile in Washington. When he died (Aug., 1944), Vice President Sergio Osmeña became president. Osmeña returned to <img style="border: 0px solid ; margin: 10px; float: right;" src="http://pinas.dlsu.edu.ph/history/history03.jpg" alt="" width="205" height="155" /> the Philippines with the first liberation forces, which surprised the Japanese by landing (Oct. 20, 1944) at Leyte, in the heart of the islands, after months of U.S. air strikes against Mindanao. The Philippine government was established at Tacloban, Leyte, on Oct. 23.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">The landing was followed (Oct. 23–26) by the greatest naval engagement in history, called variously the battle of Leyte Gulf and the second battle of the Philippine Sea. A great U.S. victory, it effectively destroyed the Japanese fleet and opened the way for the recovery of all the islands. Luzon was invaded (Jan., 1945), and Manila was taken in February. On July 5, 1945, MacArthur announced “All the Philippines are now liberated.” The Japanese had suffered over 425,000 dead in the Philippines.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">The Philippine congress met on June 9, 1945, for the first time since its election in 1941. It faced enormous problems. The land was devastated by war, the economy destroyed, the country torn by political warfare and guerrilla violence. Osmeña’s leadership was challenged (Jan., 1946) when one wing (now the Liberal party) of the Nationalist party nominated for president Manuel Roxas, who defeated Osmeña in April.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">The Republic of the Philippines<strong> <em>- </em></strong>Manuel Roxas became the first president of the Republic of the Philippines when independence was granted, as scheduled, on July 4, 1946. In Mar., 1947, the Philippines and the United States signed a military assistance pact (since renewed) and the Philippines gave the United States a 99-year lease on designated military, naval, and air bases (a later agreement reduced the period to 25 years beginning 1967). The sudden death of President Roxas in Apr., 1948, elevated the vice president, Elpidio Quirino, to the presidency, and in a bitterly contested election in Nov., 1949, Quirino defeated José Laurel to win a four-year term of his own.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">The enormous task of reconstructing the war-torn country was complicated by the activities in central Luzon of the Communist-dominated Hukbalahap guerrillas (Huks), who resorted to terror and violence in their efforts to achieve land reform and gain political power. They were finally brought under control (1954) after a vigorous attack launched by the minister of national defense, Ramón Magsaysay. By that time Magsaysay was president of the country, having defeated Quirino in Nov., 1953. He had promised sweeping economic changes, and he did make progress in land reform, opening new settlements outside crowded Luzon island. His death in an airplane crash in Mar., 1957, was a serious blow to national morale. Vice President Carlos P. García succeeded him and won a full term as president in the elections of Nov., 1957.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">In foreign affairs, the Philippines maintained a firm anti-Communist policy and joined the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization in 1954. There were difficulties with the United States over American military installations in the islands, and, despite formal recognition (1956) of full Philippine sovereignty over these bases, tensions increased until some of the bases were dismantled (1959) and the 99-year lease period was reduced. The United States rejected Philippine financial claims and proposed trade revisions.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">Philippine opposition to García on issues of government corruption and anti-Americanism led, in June, 1959, to the union of the Liberal and Progressive parties, led by Vice President Diosdado Macapagal, the Liberal party leader, who succeeded García as president in the 1961 elections. Macapagal’s administration was marked by efforts to combat the mounting inflation that had plagued the republic since its birth; by attempted alliances with neighboring countries; and by a territorial dispute with Britain over North Borneo (later Sabah), which Macapagal claimed had been leased and not sold to the British North Borneo Company in 1878.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">Marcos and After<strong><em> - </em></strong>Ferdinand E. Marcos, who succeeded to the presidency after defeating Macapagal in the 1965 elections, inherited the territorial dispute over Sabah; in 1968 he approved a congressional bill annexing Sabah to the Philippines. Malaysia suspended diplomatic relations (Sabah had joined the Federation of Malaysia in 1963), and the matter was referred to the United Nations. (The Philippines dropped its claim to Sabah in 1978.) The Philippines became one of the founding countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in 1967. The continuing need for land reform fostered a new Huk uprising in central Luzon, accompanied by mounting assassinations and acts of terror, and in 1969, Marcos began a major military campaign to subdue them. Civil war also threatened on Mindanao, where groups of Moros opposed Christian settlement. In Nov., 1969, Marcos won an unprecedented reelection, easily defeating Sergio Osmeña, Jr., but the election was accompanied by violence and charges of fraud, and Marcos’s second term began with increasing civil disorder.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">In Jan., 1970, some 2,000 demonstrators tried to storm Malacañang Palace, the presidential residence; riots erupted against the U.S. embassy. When Pope Paul VI visited Manila in Nov., 1970, an attempt was made on his life. In 1971, at a Liberal party rally, hand grenades were thrown at the speakers’ platform, and several people were killed. President Marcos declared martial law in Sept., 1972, <img style="border: 0px solid ; margin: 10px; float: left;" src="http://pinas.dlsu.edu.ph/history/history04.jpg" alt="" width="265" height="150" /></span> charging that a Communist rebellion threatened. The 1935 constitution was replaced (1973) by a new one that provided the president with direct powers. A plebiscite (July, 1973) gave Marcos the right to remain in office beyond the expiration (Dec., 1973) of his term. Meanwhile the fighting on Mindanao had spread to the Sulu Archipelago. By 1973 some 3,000 people had been killed and hundreds of villages burned. Throughout the 1970s poverty and governmental corruption increased, and Imelda Marcos, Ferdinand’s wife, became more influential.</p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">Martial law remained in force until 1981, when Marcos was reelected, amid accusations of electoral fraud. On Aug. 21, 1983, opposition leader Benigno Aquino was assassinated at Manila airport, which incited a new, more powerful wave of anti-Marcos dissent. After the Feb., 1986, presidential election, both Marcos and his opponent, Corazon Aquino (the widow of Benigno), declared themselves the winner, and charges of massive fraud and violence were leveled against the Marcos faction. Marcos’s domestic and international support eroded, and he fled the country on Feb. 25, 1986, eventually obtaining asylum in the United States.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">Aquino’s government faced mounting problems, including coup attempts, significant economic difficulties, and pressure to rid the Philippines of the U.S. military presence (the last U.S. bases were evacuated in 1992). In 1990, in response to the demands of the Moros, a partially autonomous Muslim region was created in the far south. In 1992, Aquino declined to run for reelection and was succeeded by her former army chief of staff Fidel Ramos. He immediately launched an economic revitalization plan premised on three policies: government deregulation, increased private investment, and political solutions to the continuing insurgencies within the country. His political program was somewhat successful, opening dialogues with the Marxist and Muslim guerillas. However, Muslim discontent with partial rule persisted, and unrest and violence continued throughout the 1990s. In 1999, Marxist rebels and Muslim separatists formed an alliance to fight the government.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">Several natural disasters, including the 1991 eruption of Mt. Pinatubo on Luzon and a succession of severe typhoons, slowed the country’s economic progress. However, the Philippines escaped much of the economic turmoil seen in other East Asian nations in 1997 and 1998, in part by following a slower pace of development imposed by the International Monetary Fund. Joseph Marcelo Estrada, a former movie actor, was elected president in 1998, pledging to help the poor and develop the country’s agricultural sector. In 1999 he announced plans to amend the constitution in order to remove protectionist provisions and attract more foreign investment.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">Late in 2000, Estrada’s presidency was buffeted by charges that he accepted millions of dollars in payoffs from illegal gambling operations. Although his support among the poor Filipino majority remained strong, many political, business, and church leaders called for him to resign. In Nov., 2000, Estrada was impeached by the house of representatives on charges of graft, but the senate, controlled by Estrada’s allies, provoked a crisis (Jan., 2001) when it rejected examining the president’s bank records. As demonstrations against Estrada mounted and members of his cabinet resigned, the supreme court stripped him of the presidency, and Vice President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was sworn in as Estrada’s successor.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">Macapagal-Arroyo was elected president in her own right in May, 2004, but the balloting was marred by violence and irregularities as well as a tedious vote-counting process that was completed six weeks after the election.</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(112, 37, 115);">The Philippines is a beautiful archipelago comprising of more than 7,100 islands.

Having no separate will apart from God, they are continuously connected in praise and gratitude. It is the love and wisdom of the Eternal flowing through them that they bestow upon us, this Healing Power that they transmit to us. If you are attracted to angels, you may be an angel. Many of us are being driven by a secret desire to awaken the memory of who we truly are. In this search we often read books and go from one teaching to the next trying to find the magic that will set us free. The magic is evident in the wisdom of the angels. Our freedom comes through God who alone can free us from pain and suffer- ing. Close your eyes and ask the angels to enfold you in their love. If tears well up in your eyes and you heart breacks when you long to go Home, you will know this truth. Home is where you came from, the source of your existence and the energy that sustains your life. Call it Heaven, the Eternal or whatever resonates in your awareness while still on Earth. The truth of who you are is not out there or up or anywhere else as much as it is inside you. We each have a team of powerful light beings who guide, protect and nurture us. Some are with us only a short time for a specific task while others stay for our entire evolution. Seek friendships with angels, especially your own personal team. Each angel has a specific name, feeling and way of helping. Learn to recognize the pre- sence of each one. Angels seldom show themselves visually, so we must identify their secret messages such as a deep longing in the heart. Find ways to invite then to actively participate in your life. The angels eagerly await your acknowledgment, ready to shower you with blessings and love as you open more, more and more!</span></p> <p><a href="http://oriantere.blog.friendster.com/files/partnership-lg4.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-163" title="partnership-lg4" src="http://oriantere.blog.friendster.com/files/partnership-lg4.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="228" /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 0);"><em><strong>Soqed Hozi, Angel of Partnership</strong></em></span></a></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 0);">Soqed Hozi</span> <span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 0);">is the keeper of divine balances, holding the balance of feeling and truth in our lives through our partners. There is a special dynamic involved in intimate relationships between two people who are committed to love. When at last you find the one who is your soul mate, the relationship is tremendously uplifting, supportive, and satisfying. Each day is celebrated and is better than the one before. There is fire and passion which is free from pettiness. You feel a synergy that allows the combination of your feelings, creative thought, and resources to go far beyond what you can image doing alone.</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 0);">A love this deep can be your lifeline to survive the most dire circumstances, as well as magnify the joy of celebration and accomplishment one hundredfold. Both of you are transformed by a love so vast that old beliefs simply melt away, allowing new insight and understanding to take their place. When you join in marriage, the celebration transcends the limitation of matter as triumphant waves of love flow through the cosmos!</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 0);">In a sacred relationship, your mate is a partner on the path of self-discovery as well as your best friend, lover, playmate, confidant, and caretaker. The emphasis is on truth and trust. As long as there are two people with separate wills, conflict results. But conflict can be used for growth and deeper understanding. </span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(128, 128, 0);">angel is a blessing in our lives even a little things it makes us happy when we know that our angels is beside on us…it helps us…protect us…and guides us..even we really dont see them but in our hearts they really exist….maybe our family…our friends…or someone special in ur life….they are our angels…that we love us…..</span></p> <h1><br /></h1>teresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11973390308516015203noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865416208634437076.post-46196074076568301972009-01-13T21:44:00.000-08:002009-01-13T21:46:15.695-08:00tomorrow<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(125, 17, 75);">The past connotes of what had happened,The events that transpired gives us information and guides us too,to what we shared based on the thing of the past.We can rectify our mistakes if we did so because of the past.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(125, 17, 75);">What we are doing and gaining now are result of what had happened in the past.Precise accurate action are the benifit we derived from the past.This only signifies that the past plays the vital role in our present day life.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(125, 17, 75);">Yesterday can not be changed.
