This is a classic... just read on.

A soldier came to a fork in the road and saw a nun standing there

He asked her, "Please Sister, may I hide under your skirts for a few minutes? I'll explain why later." The nun agreed to his request.

Shortly thereafter, two MP's came running along and asked her if she had seen a soldier running down the road. She replied, "He went that way."

After the MP's disappeared, the soldier crawled out from under her skirt and said, "I can't thank you enough Sister, but you see, I don't want to go to Iraq." The nun said she understood.

The GI said, "I hope you don't think me rude or impertinent, but you have the most beautiful pair of legs I've ever seen!"

The nun replied, "If you had looked a little higher, you would have seen the most beautiful pair of balls you've ever seen! I don't want to go to Iraq either."

Read down to the very bottom, you don't want to miss this!

VERY INTERESTING -

1. The garden of Eden was in Iraq.

2. Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq, was the cradle of civilization!

3. Noah built the ark in Iraq.

4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq.

5. Abraham was from Ur, which is in Southern Iraq!

6. Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor, which is in Iraq!

7. Jacob met Rachel in Iraq.

8. Jonah preached in Nineveh - which is in Iraq.

9. Assyria, which is in Iraq, conquered the ten tribes of Israel.

10. Amos cried out in Iraq!

11. Babylon, which is in Iraq, destroyed Jerusalem.

12. Daniel was in the lion's den in Iraq!

13. The three Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq Jesus had been in Iraq also as the fourth person in the fiery furnace!

14. Belshazzar, the King of Babylon saw the "writing on the wall" in Iraq.

15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq.

16. Ezekiel preached in Iraq.

17. The wise men were from Iraq.

18. Peter preached in Iraq.

19. The "Empire of Man" described in Revelation is", called Babylon, which was a city in Iraq!

And you have probably seen this one. Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible. But do you know which nation is second? It is Iraq! However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible. The names used in the Bible are Babylon, Land of Shinar, and Mesopotamia. The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The name, Iraq, means country with deep roots.

Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible.

No other nation, except Israel, has more history and prophecy associated it than Iraq.

And also... This is something to think about! Since America is typically represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages...

The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible)

Koran (9:11) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.

(Note the verse number!) Hmmmmmmm?! God Bless you all. Amen!

Pagbabago. Hindi pa huli ang lahat!

Gising, frend.

Tumatanda ka na, frend.

Nasa Friday Magic Madness na yung mga paborito mong kanta.Nakaka-relate ka na sa Classic MTV. Lesbiana na yung kinaaaliwan mong child star dati. Nanay na lagi ang role ng crush na crush mong matinee idol noon.

Dati, pag may panot, sisigaw ka agad ng "PENDONG!".Ngayon, pag may sumisigaw nun, ikaw na yung napapraning. Parang botika na ang cabinet mo. May multivitamins, vitamin E, vitamin C, royaljelly, tsaka ginko biloba.

Dati, laging may inuman. Sa inuman, may lechon, sisig,kaldereta, inihaw na liempo, pusit, at kung anu-ano pa. Ngayon, nagkukumpulan na lang kayo ng mga kasama mo sa Starbucks at oorder ng tea.

Wala na ang mga kaibigan mo noon.

Ang dating masasayang tawanan ng barkada sa canteen, napalitan na ng walang katapusang pagrereklamo tungkol sa kumpanya ninyo. Wala na ang best friend mo na lagi mong pinupuntahan kapag may problema ka. Ang lagi mo na lang kausap ngayon e ang kaopisina monghindi ka sigurado kung binebenta ka sa iba pag nakatalikod ka. Ang hirap nang magtiwala.

Mahirap nang makahanap ng totoong kaibigan. Hindi mokayang pagkatiwalaan ang kasama mo araw-araw sa opisina. Kung sabagay, nagkakilala lang kayo dahil gusto ninyong kumita ngpera at umakyat sa tinatawag nilang "corporate ladder". Anumang pagkakaibigang umusbong galing sa pera at ambisyon ay hindi talaga totoong pagkakaibigan. Pera din at ambisyon ang sisira sa inyong dalawa.

Pera. Pera na ang nagpapatakbo ng buhay mo.

Alipin ka na ng Meralco, PLDT, SkyCable, Globe, Smart, at Sun. Alipin ka ng Midnight Madness. Alipin ka ng tollgate sa expressway. Alipin ka ng credit card mo. Alipin ka ng ATM. Alipin ka ng BIR.

Dati-rati masaya ka na sa isang platong instant pancitcanton. Ngayon, dapat may kasamang italian chicken ang fettucinealfredo mo. Masaya ka na noon pag nakakapag-ober-da-bakod kayo para makapagswimming. Ngayon ayaw mo nang lumangoy kung hindi Boracay, Puerto Galera o Davao ang lugar.

Dati, sulit na sulit na sa yo ang gin pomelo. Ngayon, pagkatapos ng ilang bote ng red wine, maghahanap ka ng San Mig Light oVodka Cruiser.

Wala ka nang magawa. Sumasabay ang lifestyle mo sa income mo. Nagtataka ka kung bakit hindi ka pa rin nakakaipon kahit tumataas ang sweldo mo. Yung mga bagay na gusto mong bilhin dati nasinasabi mong hindi mo kailangan, abot-kamay mo na. Pero kahit nasa iyo na ang mga gusto mong bilhin, hindi ka pa rin makuntento.

Saan ka ba papunta?

frend, gumising ka. Hindi ka nabuhay sa mundong ito para maging isa lang sa mga baterya ng mga machines sa Matrix. Hanapin moang dahilan kung bakit nilagay ka rito. Kung ang buhay mo ngayon ay uulit-ulit lang hanggang maging singkwenta anyos ka na, magsisisi ka. Lumingon ka kung paano ka nagsimula, isipin ang mga tao at mga bagay na nagpasaya sa yo. Balikan mo sila.

Ikaw ang nagbago, hindi ang mundo.

Ring Mag lauds Pacquiao for relinquishing feather belt

The prestigious Ring Magazine, considered as "The Bible of Boxing", has nothing but words of respect and praise for Filipino sports hero Manny Pacquiao for relinquishing his Ring Magazine featherweight belt.

Ring Magazine recognized Pacquiao as its featherweight champion after the Filipino boxer’s masterful 11th round destruction of Mexican legend Marco Antonio Barrera on Nov. 16, 2003 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.

But last June, Pacquiao wrote a formal letter to Ring Magazine signifying his intent to vacate his throne as the General Santos City fighter will now be campaigning in the junior lightweight division.

"Speaking of good guys, I’d like to thank Manny Pacquiao for taking appropriate action and relinquishing his Ring featherweight title, which he did in writing during the early part of June," stated Ring editor-in-chief Nigel Collins in his Ringside column in the magazine’s October 2005 issue.

"Pacquiao, who will now campaign as a junior lightweight, was aware that The Ring does not strip champions of belts won inside the ring, and could have procrastinated. But that might have denied other fighters the opportunity to vie for the now-vacant belt," added Collins.

"Like most fighters, Pacquiao is an honorable man and did the right thing. That’s the way boxing is supposed to work.

" Pacquiao is presently in the thick of rigid preparation for his Sept. 10 bout against Mexican Hector Velazquez at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.

Pacquiao’s tormentor Erik Morales will also appear in the same card against 1996 USA Olympian Zahir Rahim capping a pair of 12-rounder bouts topbilling Top Rank’s "Double Trouble" slugfest.

If Pacquiao and Morales both win, they will figure in an expected grudge rematch either in January 2006.

"Twelve (12) Little Things Every Filipino Can Do To Help Our Country,"

A simple enumeration of these "twelve little things" will not Do justice tothe work of Alex. You've got to read the whole text, but I shall try tocompress a few lines for some of the items mentioned.

1. Follow traffic rules -- Why is that the most important? The answer issimple. Traffic rules are the simplest of our laws. If we learn to followthem, it will be the lowest form of national discipline that we candevelop.Since it is totally without monetary cost, it should be easy for us tocomply with, and therefore should provide a good start.

2. Whenever you buy or pay for anything, always ask for an officialreceipt. -- If a seller does not issue an official receipt when you buya product, the seller may or may not remit the tax to the government.Without an O.R., there is no record of the sale transaction, and the taxthat you paid may not be remitted to the Bureau of Internal Revenue.

3. Do not buy smuggled goods. Buy local, buy Filipino. -- It may not begood economics to buy 100 percent local products. What I suggest is forus to take a "50-50" buying attitude. This means that we must developthe attitude of using 50 percent of our budget for local products andthe other 50 percent for imported choices.

4. When you talk to others, especially foreigners, speak positively ofour race and our country -- this is best addressed to the rich and themiddle class in our country, who have contact with the outside world. Itis they who talk to, dine or deal with foreigners either here or abroad.It is what they say and do which creates impressions about us amongforeigners.

5. Respect your traffic officer, policeman, soldier and other publicservants -- There is nothing like the power of respect. It makes a personproud. It makes one feel honorable. At the same time, courtesy to others isgood manners. It is class and elegance and kindness. It is seeing the valueand dignity in the other man. It is, in fact, a mark of a most profoundeducation.

6. Do not litter. Dispose your garbage properly. Segregate. Recycle.Conserve. -- As Louis Armstrong says in his song: "I see trees of green,redroses, too, I see them bloom for me and you and I think to myself, what a
wonderful world."

7. Support your church. (or charitable/ civic organizations -- :-)

8. During elections, do your solemn duty. -- Honesty, more than a masteralor doctorate degree, is what gives credibility. And credibility isessentialbecause it is a leader's link to the people. It is what makes the peoplelook to one direction, f ollow a common vision, and perform a uniform act.Inshort, credibility is what makes people follow the leader.

9. Pay your employees well. -- No exercise is better for the human heartthan to reach down and lift someone else up. This truly defines asuccessfullife. For success is the sum, not of our earthly possessions, but of howmany times we have shown love and kindness to others.

10. Pay your taxes. -- In 2003, P83 billion was collected from individualincome taxes. But 91 percent of this amount came from salaried workers fromthe government and private sector, people who had no choice since theirincome taxes were withheld mandatorily. Only P7 billion of the P83 billioncame from businessmen and professionals like doctors, lawyers, accountantsand architects,among others.

11. Adopt a scholar or adopt a poor child. -- You can make a difference inthe future of our country by making a difference in the world of children.

12. Be a good parent. Teach your kids to follow the law and to love ourcountry. -- Today's children will someday rule and lead this world. Butwhether they will be bad rulers or good leaders will depend largely on howwe raise them today. Our future is in the hearts and minds of our children.
