Kailan tayo nakaka-alaalang magpasalamat

Pag ang tao pinakikinabangan natin, lahat ng panuyo at magandang papuri ibinibigay natin sa kanya. Pag ang tao nakagawa sa atin ng kabutihan, napakarami nating ibinabalik na parangal --- siya'y napakabait, napakamaalalahanin o napalamatulungin. Sa lahat ng mga nagawang tama ng isang kaibigan, kakilala o kahit isang estrangero, ang nakikita natin ay ang naging mabuting dulot nito para sa sarili natin. May silbi ang taong ito, at ninanais pa natin na sana patuloy siyang makagawa ng kabutihan.

May mga tao naman na sa kabila ng ibinigay mo na ang lahat, hindi pa rin nasisiyahan. Hindi niya nakikita ang naging epekto nito sa kanya. Minsan nga buhay na ang ipinagkaloob, parang bale wala pa rin. Iniaalay mo ng buong puso ang iyong pag-ibig, pero bakit parang may hinahanap pa, bakit parang nakukulangan pa.

Hanggang kailan ang sukdulan ng ating kasiyahan? Ganyan din sa  ating Panginoon. Lumalapit lang tayo sa Kanya pag may kailangan, pag wala na tayong takbuhan at wala nang madaingan. Sa mahiwagang paraan sinasagot Niya ang ating mga daing, tinatanggap Niya ang ating mga papuri at pasasalamat. Yun eh kung nagpapasalamat talaga tayo. Nagpapasalamat tayo sa lahat ng buting ibinigay nya. Pero hindi sa lahat ng masama at problemang dinadanas natin. Minsan kailangan dumaan tayo sa mga pagsubok para mabatid natin na ito pala ang sinasabi kong mahiwagang sagot ng Diyos. Kung hindi natin malalagpasan ang pagsubok hindi natin malalaman ang ating kakulangan at kahinaan.

Sa panahon na tayo'y malakas, masigla at sagana nagpapasalamat tayo, pero sa panahon ng pighati, kalungkutan o paghihirap -- kulang na lang sumbatan natin Siya. Kung bakit ginawa naman nating maging mabuting lingkod Nya, pero bakit natin dinadanas ang hindi natin gusto o hindi natin gustong mangyari sa mga mahal natin.

Ang Panginoon sa ating paglapit sa Kanya, ay nagpapasalamat na, "Hay! Salamat na lang anak at naalala mo Ako." baka ang nasambit Nya. Sa ating pagdarasal, maikli o mahaba isa lang ang ninais Nya ang maging malaya at bukas ang ating isipan sa iniaalay Niyang pag-ibig sa ating lahat. Kaya sa anu pa man pagdurusa, pagkabigo, pagkabasag at maging kasiyahan, tagumpay at kaluwagan ng puso maging mapagsalamat, walang oras at walang pagkakataon. Parang bahagi na nang ating buhay, parang umiinom na lang ng tubig at naglalakad sa daan, na  ang nasasambit natin ay salamat sa Diyos, sa pagiging kaagapay namin sa lahat ng pagsubok.

Let us pray for all our children

The Seven Holy Virtues

1. HUMILITY - is defined as, "A quality by which a person considering his own defects has a humble opinion of himself and willingly submits himself to God and to others for God's sake." St. Bernard defines it as, "A virtue by which a man knowing himself as he truly is, abases himself. Jesus Christ is the ultimate definition of Humility."

2. CHARITY - means an unlimited loving-kindness toward all others. The term should not be confused with the more restricted modern use of the word charity to mean benevolent giving.

3. KINDNESS - is the act or the state of being kind and marked by charitable behaviour, marked by mild disposition, pleasantness, tenderness and concern for others.

4. PATIENCE - is the state of endurance under difficult circumstances, which can mean persevering in the face of delay or provocation without acting on annoyance/anger in a negative way; or exhibiting forbearance when under strain, especially when faced with longer-term difficulties. It is also used to refer to the character trait of being steadfast.

5. CHASTITY - is sexual behavior of a man or woman acceptable to the moral norms and guidelines of a culture, civilization, or religion. In Jewish, Christian and Islamic religious beliefs, acts of sexual nature are restricted to the context of marriage. For unmarried persons therefore, chastity is identified with sexual abstinence. Sexual acts outside or apart from marriage, such as adultery, fornication and prostitution, are considered sinful. Chastity therefore requires marital fidelity.

6. TEMPERANCE - (Sophrosyne in Greek is defined as “moderation in action, thought, or feeling; restraint.” It is considered a virtue, a core value that can be seen consistently across time and cultures. It is considered one of the four Cardinal Virtues, for it is believed that no virtue could be sustained in the face of inability to control oneself, if the virtue was opposed to some desire. Temperance is generally defined by control over excess, so that it has many such classes , such as abstinence, chastity, modesty, humility, prudence, self-regulation, and forgiveness and mercy; each of these involves restraining some impulse, such as sexual desire, vanity, or hatred.

7. DILIGENCE - is a zealous and careful nature in one's actions and work, exemplified by a decisive work ethic, budgeting of one's time, monitoring one's own activities to guard against laziness, and putting forth full concentration in one's work.

The Seven Deadly Sins

1. ANGER OR WRATH - may be described as inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger. Anger, in its purest form, presents with self destructiveness, violence, and hate that may provoke feuds that can go on for centuries. Anger may persist long after the person who did another a grievous wrong is dead.

2. ENVY - may be characterized by an insatiable desire; they differ, however, for two main reasons. First, greed is largely associated with material goods, where as envy may apply more generally. Second, those who commit the sin of envy resent that another person has something they perceive themselves as lacking, and wish the other person to be deprived of it.

3. GREED - also known as avarice or covetousness, is, like lust and gluttony, a sin of excess. However, greed is applied to a very excessive or rapacious desire and pursuit of wealth, status, and power.

4. GLUTTONY - meaning to gulp down or swallow, gluttony (Latin, gula) is the over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste.

5. LUST or LECHERY - is usually thought of as excessive thoughts or desires of a sexual nature. It is a craving for sexual intimacy, sometimes to the point of assuming a self-indulgent character.

6. PRIDE or HUBRIS - is considered the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins, and indeed the ultimate source from which the others arise. It is identified as a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to acknowledge the good work of others, and excessive love of self (especially holding self out of proper position toward God).

7. SLOTH - is defined as spiritual or emotional apathy, neglecting what God has spoken, and being physically and emotionally inactive. It can also indicate a wasting due to lack of use, concerning a person, place, thing, skill, or intangible ideal that would require maintenance, refinement, or support to continue to exist.

Photocatalyst and Negative Ion Bulb

Photocatalyst and Negative Ion Bulb was scattered like wildfire passing to every ears of Filipinos, the innovation has been already successful, whereas someone spent time to research it and post it without even using and feel the benefits of it. I am a user a the said bulb and it really helps me a lot, when I got the Photocatalyst and Negative Ion Bulb and used it in my tiny shop, drastic changes has been made.

Researched by an unknown blogger was published in a blog, readers be aware because it was really misleading, he only qoutes Carl Koval's saying about the Tio2 , without knowing that Carl is also an inventor of improve photocatalyst application.

See more details about Carl Koval

http://www.patentgenius.com/patent/5439652.html

http://www.patentgenius.com/inventedby/KovalCarlAGoldenCO.html

Reading upon the line,

"..Says Koval, “When illuminated TiO2
is used to decompose organic compounds, a
large number of intermediate compounds are
usually formed. In some cases, these intermediate compounds can be more hazardous
than the compound being decomposed.” For
example, he says, the breakdown of TCE
yields trichloroacetic acid (a substance almost
as toxic as TCE) and, in the gaseous phase,
p h o s g e n e ( a c h emi c a l w a r f a r e a g e n t ) .
However, he says, this doesn’t mean that all
applications using TiO2
would be dangerous.
“In situations where this type of process was
being proposed for outdoor use, I see no
problems with it, because similar things occur
naturally in the atmosphere, and it would be
unlikely that concentrations of the hazardous
c h emi c a l w o u l d r e a c h t o x i c l e v e l s . . . .
However, [in an indoor setting] who knows
what would be formed if TiO2
photocatalysis were used to decompose plasticizers, bacteria,
and so on, and what the health effects might
be from inhaling such compounds?
Certainly there is cause for caution, agrees
Anderson. “But given time and control over
the process,” he adds, “these daughter products do break down into environmentally
benign substances, a process which can be
monitored using a gas chromatograph.” And,
says Blake, “All oxidization processes have
the potential to produce partial oxidization
products. It comes down to a question of the
fraction of the target compounds that are
converted to the intermediate products and
how much of those produced are released
into the air or water. The amount released
will be a function of the efficiency of the
photocatalytic device and the way it is constructed and operated.”
All that being said, in the realm of envir o nme n t a l c l e a n u p t e c h n o l o g y i s T iO2
indeed the white knight riding to the rescue
or something less? Says Blake, “There is no
single technology that can address the very
wide range of contamination problems in
the environment. Most workers in the field
recognize that the photocatalytic chemistry
of TiO2 has pluses and minuses that make it
attractive for some applications and not for
o the r s . The pho t o c a t a l y t i c chemi s t r y o f
TiO2
is very intriguing. It works in water or
air, it uses light instead of heat, and it is
such a simple concept. Engineering it with
the right balance of economics and performance is the challenge.”

That article was written 10 years ago, so what do you think has happened after 10 years? Does the development of Photocatalyst and Negative Ion Bulb has been changed? Those articles is just a speculation that time, the reason why it is written with a question mark (see Title: Titanium Dioxide:
Environmental White Knight?, means that it was not proven at the time, but after ICC (
Import Commodity Clearance) has certified the product of Goodfaith, no question ask get your GoodLights, come and get one used it and enjoy the benefits of inhaling clean air.
