My thoughts on the US Election 2008



At last. The final moment has just arrived. The election day in the US was the most breathtaking moment of all this year. And indeed, in every race, there's a finish line. Barack Obama was pronounced as the 44th incoming US President. And the 1st African-American President. Many thanks to CNN for the most updated coverage of the election. I have realized a lot of things while I'm watching, listening, observing and all the stuff that a normal human being should do, makes me think, that being a citizen, should really give importance on future leaders. Here in the Philippines, it's been so tiring to think that leaders aren't good enough to think about the future but of themselves. But enough about ranting about it. Such a waste of time. I just really admire the Americans with the way they manage their election. The smoothness, the orderliness and the clean voting and all that. I just hope that our government officials here are observant with those scenarios. I'm just sick and tired of what our politics here in the Phils. But then again, that's no use.

As we all know, the US economy greatly affects the world economy. Simply, the currency that we're all keeping our eyes with was "$" - the dollar rate. This dollar sign means so much to us. If you're the type of person who owns a business and if you're an investor, you know what I mean. Recently, The Wall Street had reached to a point of Crisis. Stock Marketers or whatever you call them, are all watchful on the numbers that are showing. Makes them wonder why is it happening and so on and so forth. Aren't we worried? Of course we all do. And that's what the candidates of this election are focusing on. A challenge of what they can do to get through this dark times of downfall. But the good thing is, it didn't went to that point. Yet. The Great Depression, that is. Is what they're all praying not to happen to again, in our times.

Barrack Obama and John McCain are both candidates that I think who are fit on resolving the issues. They have their own ways of telling the whole masses, the Americans, and to the whole world, of what they can do to have everything fixed. I have nothing against with both parties, in fact, both of them have their own set of motives for the country and for the whole world. But like what I have just said, in every race, there's always a winner. And in God's will, He chose Barack Obama to lead us. I was really grateful when I first heard of the news about the newly elected President. Many people think that the reason why he won is because of his unique reasons on everything. He shows deepness in every plan he makes. Besides, he is still young and has the energy. Probably that was the reason why most of the young people choose him to be elected. But I'm not saying that John McCain is no longer capable of doing because of his age. Age really doesn't matter. I think the reason why some of the votes wasn't meant for him, is because, he was endorsed by President Bush, wherein, many people hated. Which for some reason, it was because of his plans that didn't work out right. I know, I'm kind of vague with this, but I'm not gonna share my thoughts about this one that much. Why? Just nothing.

So, moving on. I CONGRATULATE Sen. Barack Obama for being the next President of the United States. Looking forward to have a bright future for all of us in this planet. And most of all, don't just rely on your own self, always rely on to God who is the one who made everything possible for you. And that's it. Thanks so much for spending your time reading this post. I may not be the best blogger in the world. But I'm just expressing my thoughts about it. Thanks again. God's blessings for all of you.Ü

The prayer of the gimper named JABEZ (read 1 Chronicles 4:9-10)

Hey guys! Thanks you so much for reading this post that I have just recently posted. I would really appreciate if you'll leave some comments. Thanks. I know, for some of you, or most of the Christians are familiar with this man named Jabez. And He's a gimper. What do we mean by gimper anyway? A gimper according to Seume was someone who always does a little more than what's required or expected. Are we like that? Do we always do the extra mile in everything we do? Or just do things plain and simple. And then that's the end of it? Our mind is always preoccupied on reaching success. But in the life of this man named Jabez. He did something in life that is really extraordinary that made God answer his prayer. If we will try to look back in the history, names does have its own meaning. And in that time where names are meaningful which greatly reflects who you are. (as what they used to say) The name Jabez, means "pain." Now, what are you thinking of right now?...

The book called.. THE SECRET

I wonder why I have this book. In the first place, it wasn't mine. I only borrowed it from a friend of mine who is also interested on reading the book. Actually, the manner that I had when I borrowed the book isn't that really okay. But because of the kindness that my friend had shown to me, I took advantage of it. Haha! I really forced her to lend me the book even if she wasn't yet finished reading it. But what I'm wondering is that, why am I so excited to read this book even if I had no idea at all what the book is all about. Is it because of the title of book that gives me an impression that indeed it was really an interesting book to read at. The book was called THE SECRET. The first time I glanced the book, it was like a tickle of mystery that I felt. Then, right at the moment when the book was introduced to me, I just borrowed it. And this friend of mine agreed. The first time I read the book, I thought that there is nothing wrong with it, but soon as I dig deep i...

GLOBAL VILLAGE

What comes first into your mind when you hear something about GLOBAL VILLAGE? I know this may sound new to you for those who's unfamiliar. But let the Merriam-Webster dictionary define Global Village. Global Village - the world viewed as a community in which distance and isolation have been dramatically reduced by electronic media (as television and the Internet). And for other definition, Global Village means, it's the entire world and its inhabitants. Now, why do I come up with this kind of topic. What's the connection of this compound word in our lives as a Filipino individual? Read on to find out. Very interesting. We have just recently celebrated our church's 25th Anniversary. And coincidently, that was the theme of our church anniversary. It was quite very interesting because Global Village really is a technical term for this digital world. But if we will try to look it in another perspective, in a basic understanding, look at it literally. GLOBAL.. and then VILLA...
