This week in my country, the Philippines and the other catholic countries in the world, are celebrating the Lenten season. This would be a perfect time to reflect on Christ's death and resurrection. A time to reflect on the things or mistakes we did in the past. Be it a lot of heartaches, sadness, pity, sorrow, joy, and celebration. A time to look back and compare ourselves if improve the way we think, act and speak.

To ask ourselves the following questions.

Have we learned from our mistakes?

English, along with French, is one of the two working languages of the United Nations, and one of the Organization's six official languages.

Because it is so widely spoken, English is often referred to as a "world language", or the lingua franca of the modern era.

English Language Day at the UN is celebrated on 23 April, the date traditionally observed as the birthday of William Shakespeare. The Day is the result of a 2010 initiative by the Department of Public Information, establishing language d

Hello everyone!

Long before a child has gone to school and learned to read and write, he has learned much about anger. No doubt he has seen parents displaying anger toward each other and to other adults. At times this adult anger has been directed to

I am encouraged from some friends here to write my second blog, therefore, I think an introduction of my country would be good.

Brian Johnston referred to Dicky Bird's Peacockhen while commentating on the first day during the India-England Test match at Edgbaston. Dicky Bird, according to Brian, was a very worried man as he was waiting for good news any time. The Peacockhen was still sitting on the six eggs and hadn't eaten any yet.

Dicky Bird had a reason to brood over the brooding bird. But I got worried, too, and wondered whether it was possible to say male woman. Since KS wasn't around, I loo

Some people think sports occasions are essential in easing international tensions and releasing patriotic emotions. I agree with part of this opinion, to my point, I prefer using 'probable' to 'essential'.

THE FINAL SEVEN WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST

Father forgive them, for they know not what they do

Luke 23:34

Then Jesus said, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do".

This first saying of Jesus upon the cross was Jesus' prayer for forgiveness for those who were crucifying him: the Roman soldiers, and apparently for all others who were involved in his crucifixion.

Today you will be with me in paradise

Luke 23:43

And he said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise".

After I graduated from university, I started to get a job. Fortunately, my sister had been working in Microfinance Project implemented by Pact at that time. During my holidays, I used to help my sister to complete her works in time. So, I’m familiar with the project’s activities. I thought that Microfinace isn’t a good one for poor people although I was in my dream to help people. I confused with the works of the Project. Although they are telling that we are helping poor households, they charge
