			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am so busy. I will still be busy in the coming days. There is so much pressure. In as much as I try to keep my cool, somehow, everything seems to get to my nerves. </p>
<p>And this letter is my constant reminder of what I am. <span id="more-67"></span></p>
<p><strong>My Child</strong>,</p>
<p>As you got up this morning, I watched you, and hoped you would talk to me, even if it was just a few words, asking my opinion or thanking me for something good what happened in your life yesterday. But I noticed you were too busy, trying to find the right outfit to wear.When you ran around the house getting ready, I knew there would be a few minutes for you to stop and say hello, but you were too busy. At one point you had to wait fifteen minutes with nothing to do except sit in a chair. Then I saw you spring to your feet. I thought you wanted to talk to me but you ran to the phone and called a friend to get to the latest gossip instead. I watched patiently all day long. With all our activities I guess you were too busy to say anything to me.</p>
<p>I noticed that before lunch you looked around, maybe you felt embarrassed to talk to me, that is why you didn&#8217;t bow your head. You glanced three or four tables over and you noticed some of your friends talking to me briefly before they ate, nut you didn´t. That´s okay. There is still more time left, and I hope that you will talk to me yet.</p>
<p>You went home and it seems as if you had lots of things to do. After a few of them were done, you turned on the TV. I donÂ´t know if you like TV or not, just about anything goes there and you spend a lot of time each day in front of it not thinking about anything, just enjoying the show. I waited patiently again as you watched the TV and ate your meal, but again you didn´t talk to me.</p>
<p>Bedtime I guess you felt too tires. After you said goodnight to your family you plopped into bed and fell asleep in no time. ThatÂ´s okay because you may not realize that I am always there for you. IÂ´ve got patience, more than you will ever know. I even want to teach you how to be patient with others as well.</p>
<p><strong>I love you so much that I wait everyday for a nod, prayer or thought, or a thankful part of your heart. It is sad to have a one-sided conversation.</strong></p>
<p>Well, you are getting up once again. Once again I will wait, with nothing but love for you. Hoping that today you will give me some time. Have a nice day!</p>
<p>Your Loving Father,</p>
<p><strong>GOD</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Dear child,</strong></p>
<p>The day that you see me old and I am already not, have patience and try to understand me.If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience. Remember the hours I spent teaching it to you. </p>
<p>If, when I speak to you, I repeat the same things thousand and one times, do not interrupt me.  Listen to me.  When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story until you get to sleep.<br />
When I do not want to have a shower, neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I invented, in order that you wanted to bath. <span id="more-66"></span></p>
<p>When you  see my ignorance on new technologies, give me the necessary time and not look at me with your mocking smile. I taught you how to do so many things, to eat good, to dress well, to confront life.</p>
<p>When at some moment I lose the memory or the thread of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not my conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me.</p>
<p>If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well when I need to and when not.</p>
<p>When my tired legs do not allow me walk, give me your hand, the same way I did when you gave your first steps.</p>
<p>And when someday I say to you that I do not want to live any more, that I want to die, do not get angry. some day you will understand. Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived.</p>
<p>Some day you will discover that, despite my mistakes, I always wanted the best thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you.</p>
<p>You must not feel sad, angry or impotent for seeing me near you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you started living.</p>
<p>Help me to walk.  help me to end my way with love and patience. I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.</p>
<p>I love you!</p>
<p><strong>Your Father</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was so busy these past few days. The demand of my work was too much that these last three days alone, I worked more than 20 hours a day. People just got crazy about the penny stocks ( <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=usxp.ob">USXP.OB</a>, CNES.OB, IVOC.OB, and etc&#8230;).</p>
<p>Anyhow, I am leaving you some questions in connection to this. These questions have been playing in my mind since last week because some investors are not selling. They are not taking the opportunity of converting them to clear cash.</p>
<p>The USXP.OB has a 52-week low of $0.0002 and rose to more than $0.04 at the end of February 06. It closed at $0.0251 as of 02 March 06. </p>
<p>I know one person who holds more than 400 million shares, bought at an average of $0.002 per share. This guy is not selling yet. </p>
<p>If you were given a chance (as the person I mentioned above) to make more than 17 million dollars from your stock investment when the price went up to more than $0.04 but,  due to your strategy (if there is any) or apparent greediness or overly positive outlook (that your particular penny stock would still go up), you let go of that opportunity. Your profit on paper is reduced to a half  because the price went down; the company has a <a href="http://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/lr18636.htm">problem</a> <a href="http://www.sec.gov/litigation/complaints/comp18636.htm">with SEC</a>.  </p>
<p>How would you accept the fact that instead of making money (as much as $17 million), you are now faced with the prospect of earning less or perhaps losing your investment? How would you handle this situation? What would you tell yourself? How are you going to convince yourself that your strategy is not sound but rather based on your greed? Would you still be positive that there will be another price increase or would you sell now at a reduced profit?</p>
<p>Please, let me know.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Muli, nais ko pong ipaabot ang aking taos pusong pakikiramay sa mga kamag-anakan at kapamilya ng mga taong nasawi sa nangyaring landslide sa Saint Bernard, Southern Leyte.</p>
<p>I am also offering my prayers to those who are still trap underneath, that God may make a way and save them. </p>
<p>To all the family members who are anxiously waiting, the survivors, the rescue personnel and to all those who are helping  them,  may God gives you more strength to go on.</p>
<p><em>Note: According to the latest news, there are still signs of life under the thick mud. I pray and hope that they all come out alive.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I thought of posting this on Valentines Day however, I decided not to because I felt this is somewhat heavy on the heart. This is tragic but very touching story. We can learn a lot from this. </p>
<p>This reminds me of a good friend who for a long time hated her mother so much not because of her physical defect but because of her job abroad. The good thing is that my friend and his mother are now okay. <span id="more-63"></span></p>
<p><em>Here is the story.</em></p>
<p>My mom only had one eye. I hated her&#8230; she was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students &amp; teachers to support the family.</p>
<p>There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me. I was so embarrassed. How could she do this to me? I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out.</p>
<p>The next day at school one of my classmates said, &#8220;EEEE, your mom only has one eye!&#8221; I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted my mom to just disappear.</p>
<p>So I confronted her that day and said, &#8221; If you&#8221;re only gonna make me a laughing stock, why don&#8221;t you just die?!&#8221; My mom did not respond&#8230; I didn&#8221;t even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger. I was oblivious to her feelings. I wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do with her. So I studied real hard, got a chance to go to Singapore to study.</p>
<p>Then, I got married.</p>
<p>I bought a house of my own. I had kids of my own. I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts.</p>
<p>Then one day, my mother came to visit me. She hadn&#8221;t seen me in years and she didn&#8221;t even meet her grandchildren. When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited. I screamed at her, &#8220;How dare you come to my house and scare my children!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!&#8221;</p>
<p>And to this, my mother quietly answered, &#8220;Oh, I&#8221;m so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address,&#8221; and she disappeared out of sight.</p>
<p>One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house in Singapore. So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity. My neighbors said that she died. I did not shed a single tear.</p>
<p>They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.</p>
<p><em>My dearest son,</p>
<p>I think of you all the time. I&#8221;m sorry that I came to Singapore and scared your children. I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion.But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you.</p>
<p>I&#8221;m sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were growing up.You see&#8230;&#8230;..when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye.As a mother, I couldn&#8221;t stand watching you having to grow up with one eye.</p>
<p>So I gave you mine.</p>
<p>I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye.</p>
<p>With my love to you,</p>
<p>Your mother.</em></p>
<p>This story reached my Inbox from a friend.  I have no idea who the author is and the original source.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just few weeks ago, I came across the blog of Juliet  called <a href="http://beautynomics.blogspot.com">Beautynomics-The economics of vanity</a>. According to her, &#8220;<em>She is An economics graduate that always hated her math but loved her theories. Believes that Economics can be found in the bathroom,  in front of your vanity mirror, and in every place beautiful.</em>&#8220;</p>
<p>True to what she is saying, economics could be explained in terms relative to her  vanity and beauty (needs). <span id="more-62"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>One of the more confusing terms for basic Economics students and even non-economics students are the terms, <a href="http://beautynomics.blogspot.com/2006/02/gdp-gnp-and-my-vmv-one-of-more.html">GDP and GNP</a>. Luckily, we&#8221;re so based in the ever-creative country called the Philippines, that the term GDP, is natively defined as, &#8220;<strong>G</strong>awa ( made ) <strong>D</strong>ito ( here ) sa <strong>P</strong>ilipinas ( in the Philippines ). I think that just made it easier for everyone. And another term, GNP- <strong>G</strong>awa ( Made ) <strong>N</strong>g ( by ) <strong>P</strong>ilipino ( Filipinos )<em></p>
<p>So, how does VMV contribute to GDP? ( Teacher mode ) . VMV manufactures their products IN the Philippines, so it&#8221;s considered a contributor of the Gross National Product. Simple as that!</p>
<p>So , how about GNP? The owner, is a Filipino citizen. Therefore, VMV contributes to GNP!</em></p></blockquote>
<p>I never have any idea that Filipinos could simplify these two complex economic terms. Thanks God, this blog never existed before when I had my certification exam from the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency. Else, I would be defining GDP and GNP the Philippines way or the beautynomics way. ha ha ha&#8230;.</p>
<p>This lady definitely knows what to blog. Being an economics graduate, (I presume) she did the necessary research on what her blog should be and the niche where she should be in and excel. I am sure this lady would earn money from her blog. Sooner or later, beauty product advertisers and manufacturers would notice this blog. Look at her Google ads. </p>
<p>This blog is an example of a thematic (content-specific) blog with a twist (Talking of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seo">SEO</a>, this is it!). A blog that speaks about the economics of vanity.  </p>
<p><strong>Who said vanity is not economical? I say vanity is economically viable to those who can afford. And this is my theory.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s already 00:01 am here. The date is February 14, 2006, the day we call Valentines Day. Whatever this day&#8217;s worth to lovers everywhere, I am sure they will celebrate this occasion  with gusto. </p>
<p>As for me, well, it&#8217;s just a normal day ever since I arrived in this country. I am alone. Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, somehow it makes me remember what this day is about. </p>
<p>Para naman di nyo masabi na kj ako, I am sharing with you one of my favorite songs which I recorded years ago when I can still sing. A blogger friend heard my version. I don&#8217;t know kung nagustuhan nya at naintindihan ang version ko.  Ito ang lyrics. </p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;ll be  by Edwin McCain</strong>    [<a href="http://sg1.allmusic.com/cg/smp.dll?link=s2cyp5tjp3qn7c5z4m2mcf0&amp;r=20.asx">Listen</a>]  </p>
<p>The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful<br />
Stop me and steal my breath<br />
Emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky<br />
Never revealing their depth<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000005J7L/liveurlife-20"><img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000005J7L.01.THUMBZZZ.jpg" align="left" hspace="10px"></a><br />
Tell me that we belong together<br />
Dress it up with the trappings of love<br />
I&#8217;ll be captivated<br />
I&#8217;ll hang from your lips<br />
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above</p>
<p><em>Chorus<br />
I&#8217;ll be your crying shoulder<br />
I&#8217;ll be love suicide<br />
I&#8217;ll be better when Im older<br />
I&#8217;ll be the greatest fan of your life</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000J7SV/liveurlife-20"><img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00000J7SV.01.THUMBZZZ.jpg" align="left" hspace="10px" vspace="5px" /></a>Rain falls angry on the tin roof<br />
As we lie awake in my bed<br />
You&#8221;re my survival, you&#8221;re my living proof<br />
My love is alive not dead<br />
Tell me that we belong together<br />
Dress it up with the trappings of love<br />
I&#8217;ll be captivated Ill hang from your lips<br />
Instead of the gallows of heartache, that hang from above</p>
<p><em>Repeat Chorus</em><br />
I&#8217;ve been dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead<br />
Tuned in, turned on, Remembered the things that you said</p>
<p><em>Repeat Chorus</em> </p>
<p>This song is in these albums: <img SRC="http://service.bfast.com/bfast/serve?bfmid=2181&amp;sourceid=41561393&amp;bfpid=0075678299520&amp;bfmtype=music" BORDER="0" WIDTH="1" HEIGHT="1" /><a HREF="http://service.bfast.com/bfast/click?bfmid=2181&amp;sourceid=41561393&amp;bfpid=0075678299520&amp;bfmtype=music" TARGET="_top">Misguided Roses</a> , <img SRC="http://service.bfast.com/bfast/serve?bfmid=2181&amp;sourceid=41561393&amp;bfpid=0075678319723&amp;bfmtype=music" BORDER="0" WIDTH="1" HEIGHT="1" /><a HREF="http://service.bfast.com/bfast/click?bfmid=2181&amp;sourceid=41561393&amp;bfpid=0075678319723&amp;bfmtype=music" TARGET="_top">Messenger</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The sheer volume of traded shares did it.  People made millions from a penny stock called <a href="http://www.usxp.com/">Universal Express</a> (<a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=usxp.ob">USXP.OB</a>), a package delivery firm that topped the Over the Counter Bulletin Board&#8221;s most active list for Feb. 2. </p>
<p>The statistics from <a href="http://quote.barchart.com/techrept.asp?sym=USXP">Barchart.com</a> show share volume for Universal Express exceeded 1.6 billion shares traded. There are no covering analysts or recommendation data available for this company.  <span id="more-59"></span></p>
<p>This reminds me of the dotcom boom when many unknown companies suddenly hit the market with a bang. Investors just take the plunge without knowing what they are going into.  All they know is that they&#8217;ll make money. That&#8221;s it.</p>
<p>Investing in this type of stock (USXP.OB) is a typical hit or miss approach; either you make money or you don&#8217;t. Those who burned their hands and fingers  when the dotcom bubble burst knew well how it was like.</p>
<p>Lately, I have noticed that there are other similar stocks that some investors find interesting with expectations that they will do an USXP.OB. Here are the stocks trading symbols: <strong>CNES.OB</strong>, <strong>RNKE.OB</strong>, <strong>ADOT.OB</strong>.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t recommend going into these types of stock as they might become worthless anytime. However, if you have the urge to gamble and take your chances, buy in big quantity, say in fifty or hundred million shares so when there is an upward price movement you&#8217;ll earn big.  IF there is a price increase, sell them immediately.  Don&#8217;t be over-optimistic (greedy) expecting that there will be more upward moves.</p>
<p><em>The big profits in stock go to the intelligent investor who seeks out new companies with huge potential for growth, and he buys when the prices are low &#8211; the lower the better. Too many investors wait until a new company&#8217;s stock price goes up, then buy because they think they&#8217;re getting in on a sure thing, but by now the really big profits have passed them by.  Too many people do their investment thinking  &#8220;if it can be called that&#8221; with their emotions rather than their heads.</em>  &#8211; - The late billionaire J. P. Getty</p>
<p>Good Luck.</p>
<p><strong>Disclaimer:</strong> This is for information purposes only.  If in any case, you get excited and buy those stocks and in the process, you earned millions of money, thanks God, you are lucky. On the other hand, if it turned to be a big blunder of your life, then consider it as the most expensive experience you ever have. All because you are &#8230;&#8230;  and,   it is your entire fault. After all, I never receive any fees or monetary considerations from any one of you.</p>
