Amor Fati

-

Fate is preordained. it is sealed even before the soul assumed a body. Destiny is the aggregate of freewill, a GOD given gift which we exercised as the power of the intellect. Such that it influenced the trajectory of our eartly purpose which we can call destiny. Here man has control and has the ability to switch from one destiny to another. Now then the question is why would GOD still allow freewill to charter man's destiny which could veer him away from his preordained mission which is his fate? It's a test! A man is not capable of knowing his fate in the same way that he can predict his destiny. Again fate is predetermined. The divine creator had a mission for each soul to fulfill and experience. Since his will be done, it cannot be altered by choice. Now what happen when a man reached his destiny that is not his fate. There will be no inner fullfilment. Fame and fortune which were the common destiny man strived for will fail to satisfy the inner longing for achievement and fulfillment. Tragedies and difficulties were like thorns that will besiege the journey. There is difficulty in sustaining it and success becomes elusive amid the constant struggle to float. It's not uncommon that people who had reached the apex of their destiny had suffered internally. Some even had taken their own lives.Their families broke apart. Friends were of the pocket. If fate is GOD s will how do we proceed then to get there if we don't even know what our preordained fate is? Earlier we mentioned that it's a test. A test of how well we maintained our connection to the Father as we went our way, who will guide us towards our fate. If we lose connection, we will end up relying only on our judgement. When we reached our fate via divine guidance which we asked with humility while ditching away our egoistic arrogance, we will experience completion, a fullfillment, the filling of emptiness. That will be the time to say Amor Fati! (l love my fate).

The Black Nazarene

  The bible regarded the veneration of images and statue as idolatry. It has been said that it separate man from GOD. But why did the Catholic church initiate and administer processions of images? Even more, each has its own assigned day for feasting, celebration and procession. Is the catholic church polytheistic and hence in the practice of paganism? Why would tens of millions converged every January 9 to celebrate the feast of the Black Nazarene   barefooted and unmindful of rain or scorching heat? Why would thousands upon thousands amid risk of injury or death would forcefully hurled themselves into the disarray of humanity just to have a shot at no more than 50 feet of rope that connects to a “carossa”, that carried the image of the Black Nazarene? Were those multitudes of Catholics merely ignorant, or shamelessly, defiant of Gods resentment of paganism and idolatry? Do they have a collective reason for the displayed spontaneity? Were  they manifesting a personal...

Why Russia’s BMP3 Infantry Fighting Vehicle is the best option for the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).

Any avenue of approach in a war zone is a kill zone, be it an urban pave-ways or rural settings. The AFP have been sustaining unusually high casualties, resultant of inadequate armor and fire support. Individual infantry men were fully exposed while in marches on unfamiliar terrain towards the insurgent’s lair. Military vehicles have to traverse enemy territories without the security of protective armor (metal plates, chopped tree-trunks mounted on side of vehicles, sand bags, etc.).  Corollary, essential intelligence can easily be obtained in advance through aerial reconnaissance even before convoys proceed towards its destination. While the latter can be provided by available and inexpensive technology like drones, its utilization had remained an exception rather than the rule. Insurgent’s stationery bunkers/ fortifications greatly offset the AFP’s numerical advantage, that otherwise can easily be eliminated by an explosive blast. Sniper behind hard cover, like the inside of bui...

Transcending Filipinism

-
Image
The term Filipinism by itself is Filipinism. It is uncommon in usage internationally, but somehow it made its way to world dictionaries and may refer to usage resulting from literally translating Tagalog words into English. These are English usage peculiar to and used only by Filipinos. Turn on/ off the lights is spoken as Open/ Close the lights; CR or Comfort Rooms are used instead of Toilets (The word “Toilet” has sensibility issue and considered unhygienic); Napkins are referred to as Tissue; Canteen is used instead of Cafeteria; Colgate means Toothpaste even though it’s a Close-Up; Refrigerator is generally called Frigidaire: Xerox is to photocopy even if the machines in use are UBIX, Brothers, etc. The preceding examples demonstrate that Filipinism is beyond lingual.  It is about tradition, customary practice and generally accepted norms that manifest in  language and its usage. Filipinism is also expressions in actions like; the” boodle fight” to celebrate broth...
