Eternal Success Story in the Making

With great powers comes great responsibilities. – Ben Parker

A comedian is like a Jedi with mind controlling powers. In the right hands, this power can temporarily heal people’s sadness… making them forget the worries of this world….

But a comedian who embraced the “darkside” (quote and unquote) is much worst than a RAPIST. What he does is… he morphs into a Fat Old Geezer… approaches a beautiful sexy woman… do his Jedi talk… and in the morning the woman wakes up SMILING… asking her Lolo look-alike… “sa susunod John… magsumikap ka ha?”

I’m sorry if the above is not funny for Filipino people who are in their early 20’s ‘coz you ain’t gonna get it. Halata na yata edad ko ^_^

Anyway, I think that most people are fascinated with the X-men, Spider-man, Elastic-man and Pacman. All have great powers… with these powers they can do awesome things… like mind reading, wall crawling, arm stretching and Jaw breaking (ouch!).

But in reality, those things are impossible (except for Pacman of course). Yet in reality we can develop powers that can put us ahead in life. Powers coming from leadership, positive thinking, critical thinking, public speaking, etc. Even mundane skills like cooking can tame a wild man… if you are a good cook that is.

Humor is a skill that is powerful. It is not only used by comedians but people who are influential like politicians and preachers. Even Bro. Eli uses humor in his talk, which is why he has a different kind of charisma that is loved amongst his brethren.

Each comedian has their own comic persona wherein their point of view (POV) is manifested. For example Bob Ong the writer of ‘ABNKKBSNPL ako” and “Ang paboritong aklat ni Hudas” has a comic persona of a 30 year old media writer that talks about the past and the present in a funny and somewhat with a little spiritual side in it.

But when a preacher like Bro. Eli uses humor, it just captivates his listeners. I can describe his comic persona to be as a “frank and bold preacher”. That is why besides his rightly dividing the word of truth… his humor gives him a different kind of charisma as compared to other preachers in this time. His listener loves it! But not all… ‘coz through the use of humor, in his punchlines, he exposes the false doctrines of many religions.

Here’s the video (i’ll try to insert it sometime…)

With that said, moving forward (este)… next time, I’ll try not to be too “serious” on my succeeding posts and try to insert some humor in them.

Humor is a skill that is powerful. It can be developed. It should be acquired by people who are into writing, blogging, public speaking, in the business world or just about anyone who wants to add a little spice in their lives… (I’m not talking about having two or more wives )… PERVERTS! J

Well well well… what do we have here? Me talking about love? ^_^

Nope this ain’t a love story, but an analysis of this so called Love Game (err… actually I hate it when people treat love as a game).

Note: Before reading on… let me clarify this by saying that women should be treated with respect, must be given due affection, should be regarded as fragile vessels that must be well taken care of. In short I love women and women love me LOL… (joke lang). With that said, read on…

I’m writing this ‘coz I just got into a conversation with a co-worker of mine about man-woman relationship, courting, dating… mushy stuff like that. Anyway, we had some common perception on such things, so the conversation went on.

He calls his perceptions about love as “Mga Pananaw ni Dyobski” lol. But since I will be merging my own take on the topic, let us call them us “Mga Pananaw ng mga Anti-A.S.S. (Adam/Samson/Solomon)”.

Now for those that are not in the know, Samson, Adam and Solomon had one thing in common, they don’t have backbones. They were all willing to give in to the whims of women even if it will cost their integrity!

Despite of Samson being super strong, Solomon being the wisest man (past, present and future), and Adam having all things given to him by God they all allowed their woman (women; in the case of Solomon) make them do foolish things in the sight of God.

Adam, the first wimp, had his shot, missed it, and its been downhill ever since. Just because an Angel Locsin look-a-like walked by, offered him to take a bite of the fruit, she didn’t even took much effort in convincing Adam!

What Adam should have said was, “Eve, forget that snake, or forget me.” But Adam was so into Eve, and the rest is bad history.

So if you decide to be converted into a religion just for the sake of some woman/man… then you my friend are playing with fire… a fire that is everlasting and never quenches.

The lesson; if the cost of her acceptance is your integrity or your soul, learn to say “No”.

Your beauty intoxicates all you encounter,
Yet you fail to notice,
This is your blunder,

You’ve had a rough time,
Though now it is over,
But yet you continue clinging to what is left over,

And in doing this your depression grows deeper,
Pulling you apart at the seams,
Causing you to unravel and fall to your knees,
Pondering desperately: “How much worse can it be? “

When all of your friends have been with you till now,
But here comes the crossroads up ahead,
They give you a choice: “Stand tall or fall down.”

You have your beauty and charm,
Your grace and your mind,
Good friends and your health,
How long will your teary eyes be blind?

this is a modified version of Mitchel Pavao’s poem, Blind.

I feel that I am old whenever people come to me and ask advice. But I think it would be wrong not to share what I’ve learned. I do not profess that I know much, but I hope some people could use these tid bit thoughts of mine (sorry for the grammar and spelling). Here you go…

• Most people who are “fast talkers” and good in persuading others are the people you must not lightly give your trust.
• If a business proposal promises you to get rich quickly… it’s a scam. Never enter a business that is closely related to pyramiding… or any of its cleverly devised variants that seems to be legitimate.
• There is no elevator to success… you must take the stairs.
• 8 out of 10; Ang pinoy balasubas pag dating sa pangungutang - Tulfo
• Looks can be deceiving, even an innocent looking woman can do you harm.
• Thieves are real; never think that they will never do it to you. And don’t think that they are dumb ‘coz they are usually smart.
• If something did not turn out the way you plan… get over it and move on.
• If you can’t do something right… it’s your fault! Do it better next time.
• You can do it if you believe you can.
• Set goals early in life.
• Be passionate on what you do.
• If you hate your job… find another one. And don’t give me excuses like “Looking for a new job is hard” crap.
• As much as possible avoid having your friends or relatives as business partners, it’s not worth risking your relationship with them.
• Obey first before you complain at work.
• Your boss, no matter how wrong he was… he is still your boss.
• You can not choose your co-worker neither your boss… get along with them.
• If you are a boss, never treat all your people the same.
• If you’re a supervisor, always do things “by the book” if you want problems like sabotage and backstabbing. There are times that you need to use your heart…. “Lead with your heart and think with your mind”.
• If you reprimand/correct someone, you should have established a good “emotional bank account” with that person. Every sincere praise is a deposit; every feedback/correction/constructive criticism is a withdrawal. Never withdraw more than what you have deposited.
• It’s better to give than to receive.
• If you saw someone you haven’t seen for a long time… leave what you are doing and devote considerable time with him/her.
• The company you work for can easily replace you, but your family can’t and won’t leave you no matter what.
• A relationship not according to God’s will, won’t have a happy ending.

People have different views about love.

Whatever it may be…

There is only single truth behind everyone’s heartache:

“Love hurts when God knows you deserve someone else…”

I just have to post this… to get it out of my system before I go to bed.

Lately, two of my lady friends are consulting me about their marriage problems.  I don’t know why they choose me, I’m not even married yet 

Listening to their problems and giving advice… that’s what I’ve done. But it irritates me when they won’t follow my advice, then they just keep coming back asking advice… asking for help…

This morning, Wendy told me that she need to bail his husband out of jail, asking me for some money. I asked why was he in jail… she said it’s because he sexually assaulted a woman in a movie theater. Why was I not surprise, this is his second time! Gosh! Base on my assesment, his husband is a negative flirt a sex maniac who can not control himself. [Example... an incident a couple of months ago, even in the presence of my friend (his wife), he had the nerves to touch my friend's cousin's sensitive area in front of her! (long story)] 

I said to her, “I wont help him. It’s not right. I can’t tolerate it… he’s abusing you, his family are abusing you! Don’t be such a naive!”. Imagine, his family are angry with her because she can’t bail him out! the nerve! My friend is the BAD one and their son is the GOOD one because his in jail??????!!!

All of her problem come from his husband and his husband’s dysfunctional family… her father in law tried to rape her! Her mother in law just tolerates his husband and son’s sexual activities. She moved out of his husband’s house but never told the incident to anyone except me.

She is the cleaner of his husband’s dirty doing. A naive, a saint… I adviced her to divorce his jobless maniac husband a long time ago, since his husband refuses to seek the help of a therapist or a preacher or anyone. She suffers depression, nervous breakdown, her work is affected, her finances, her children. In order to break from his husband’s financial and social liabilities, she need to divorced him. “Take your children with you and remain single.”

I got angry with my Wendy for a while, hoping she’ll wake up from her naive ways. What good is an advice if it is not followed? 

Lesson: Don’t be in a hurry to marry someone you just knew for a short period of time! Once you see something major is wrong with him/her (ex. sex maniac, alcoholic, negative addiction) break the relationship right away if he/she is not willing to seek help…
