Good bye dream #1.
It looks like my dream with my family will not come to pass. I want to blame others but it's probably my fault. I needed all the support I can get but I just got... nada..
So I quit the dream.
I still have dream #2 which looks more promising than dream #1. I can work it out. I hope my partners will not just sit by and watch me make things happen like what my partners in #1 did.
I also have dream #3 and #4 which will mature 6-8 months from now.
#4 is vague but is a probably a good "to do".
Do I still need to mature more? I don't really know..... God Help!!!!
Somehow, having a lot of dream is bad. I want to drop one so I can focus on the very important. I guess I need to slow down again and just feel the whole scenario.
So saying bye bye to one dream is not really bad.. it probably just a good thing.
But I am saddened by my partners... they don't dream as much as I do.

Today is the last day of school.:-D
After this hayang... not really..
I been really excited lately...
I think God just impressed to me something to do..
I just experienced what I call a waking dream.
I was awake yet I am dreaming...
This is not like day dreaming because day dreaming is like a wishful thinking...
This however is specific and realistic...
If what I saw will happen I'll talk aboutthis again...

Champion's heart
3:33 PM
0 comments
One basketball coach once said, "Never underestimate the heart of a champion".
And when you really look at it, its the strength of the heart that will really count when facing adversity.
If your heart is weak, you quickly fall back and grew weak and quit but if your heart is strong, you will rise up in adversities.
This will bring us to the question, "How to strengthen ones heart?"
The Bible says, "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."
If God is the strength of you heart then your heart has a very strong foundation.
Then "you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you". That's when you become "more than conqueror".
The Bible says that if God is with you then anyone who is against you will NOT prosper.
This brings us to another question, "How can I make God the strength of my heart?"
The promises of God is available to those who call on him. The Lord says "Call unto me and I will answer thee." So I believe that when we call on the Lord he will hear us and he said that if we will admit our dependence on him, he will raise us up.
I believe that it will all start in seeking him and knowing him. The Bible says "He who knows the Son knows God". Knowing the Son means accepting Jesus as thr Lord and Savior of your life.
Allow me to lead you in a prayer of accepting the Lord in your life:
Follow this prayer and make it you own prayer:
Lord Jesus, I confess my sins, I'm making you Lord and Savior of my life.
If you prayed this prayer truthfully in your heart, the Bible says you are now a child of God.
Get into a Bible based church and if you are interested to grow with me in the Lord, Visit our church, Praise Cathedral @former Belvic Theater or call 254-8877.
God bless you..

You are only a stranger if you choose to be.
You are lost if you don't try to find yourself.
You are broken if you don't allow others to help you be whole.
All in all,
Life is unfair...
Nobody's perfect...
All of us has a piece of dirt in the corner of our body.
This world has nothing to offer...
As the writer of Ecclesiates states it, "Meaningless, all is meaningles.."

(repost from friendster blog) My hero

I once chatted with a friend about my mentors and how they challenge me to become a better person and how they inspired me to grow and to create a better future not only for myself but also for those who are around me; I mentioned my pastor(N Centino), Joel Osteen, J Maxwell, R Thomson and all the like.
Then my friend asked me, "What about your mom? Is she also your mentor". I was a bit shock for about 10 milliseconds to the question but I finally got hold of myself and searched within my heart who is my mom in my life... then I told my friend that she isn't my mentor bcoz she is more than that.. she more than mold my life.. she created my life.. she nurtured my life.. put it back together when it was shattered.. hold it together when storms tried to shake it.. feed it.. literally feed it.. and gave her own life just to make sure that my life will live and strive and grow and have a better future than what she had. - She is my hero.
To my friend who asked the question (you know who you are).. thank you. You made me think a well even in a split second. I appreciated my mom more and have acknowledge her more. I thank the Lord I have such a mom.
I wish my mom is in to computer so she can read this blog but she isn't. I will just tel her personally.. well I think I already told her but probably I'll tell her again.. so that she wont forget that she is a hero and she is very special.

Pattern Recognition

Pattern Recognition
Pattern recognition is an essential aspect of analysis. Probably most of the analysis that we do today is related to patterns. Humans know that a thing (an abstract object) is ball because that “thing” matches the pattern of a ball (it’s roundness, it’s size, it’s texture and etc). We know that the “thing” that seats next to you is another human being because it matches the pattern of a human (the built, the face, the feature, the texture, the smell, the sound, and etc).
When humans look at a “thing”, information from different senses are extracted and that information is feed to the brain and then “probably” the brain processes it and compare it with the existing patterns it met before. If the “sample image” is not in the library of patterns, it registers it as something new. The brain then tells the rest of the body that the “sample image” is something new. If the brain recognizes the pattern it then looks at the behavior tagged to that pattern. It “probably” asks “what does this pattern do?” It then “recalls” the past behavior of the pattern and from there analyzes the future behavior of that pattern.
An example scenario would be, say you are watching a ball game, and you are enjoying the game then suddenly the ball flew up in the air, right above you. At that moment, your brain took a sample of the event. It then realized that the thing flying over you is a ball and from the past experience or from an experienced that you witnessed you know that what goes up usually goes down. It also then realized that the ball should fall on you or near you. It also realized that the ball (being a bowling ball) is hard and it should be painful when it hits your face. Your brain signals the danger alarm and it will cause you to run for your life.
Today, the in the computer science world, we can build a simple A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) that will analyze simple events. What it will do is to mimic what the brain does basing on what is discussed above. To analyze we need to:
1. Capture the event. (Actually just get a sample image)
2. Generate a model of the event. (Realize that the event here could be a thing)
3. Check if the model is already recorded in the “Event’s Library”.
4. If it’s not yet there, saved the event.
5. If it’s there don’t record.
6. Extract the behavior tagged to that event.
7. There should also be a way to get another sample of the event and tagged the recorded attributes to the existing tags.
That should make our lives less complicated. (You wish.) Seven steps that looks simple but honestly, these steps lacks a lot of things. There are more to do than this and each step has more than 5 sub-steps. But I think this can be done, we just need to make our requirements as simple as it can be.
We need to limit our requirements otherwise we will get nowhere. For simplicity, we just need to spot a 2-dimensional “thing” and predict its behavior in a 2-dimensional space.
Speaking of 2-dimensional space, another aspect of analysis via pattern recognition is what I call “spatial awareness”. The observer should be aware what space the object is moving. So in this case, we don’t want to care bout that since we assumed that we are observing a 2-dimensional object in a 2-dimensional space.
What we need to do now is to capture the “image” of a 2D object. It’s height and width and other information necessary to describe the physical appearance of the object (including the color). Record it and place it in the library. Get a sample of the behavior of the object and then record it.

Here I am again...
Thinking I can make it through...
In this life without you...
Thinking I could spread my wings...
Weighted by these earthly things...
Somehow I know...
How this will end...
Into the dark-deep pit once again...
So save me know...
While the water still not neck-deep...
Save me now...
While I'm still not buried in my pride...
Save me now...
While I still can see and not yet blind...
Save me now...
While I haven't drove myself to the mud...
So wash me clean...
Burn me...
Put a fire in my heart...
And cause me to love you once again...
Make me dance...
Give me the freedom to fly...
To a place where your love will take me...
Capture my heart once again..
Melt my pride...
Make me your Bride...
Fill me with your Spirit...
Make me drink your wine of holiness...
Catch me in you arms...
And let me dwell in you Presence once again.

Psalm 27:10 (New International Version)
Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.
Psalm 27:10 (Amplified Bible)
Although my father and my mother have forsaken me, yet the Lord will take me up [adopt me as His child.
Psalm 27:10 (New Living Translation)
Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord will hold me close.
Reflection:
Even when people who are close to me abandon me;forsake me;neglect me;reject me, God will come and receive me, take me up and hold me close.
What a wonderful promise!
If people walk away from me, its all right. God still loves me.:D
Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.

This little room
1:11 PM

I found a small room again.I'm not sure if this is really my place or
this is just a room to help me find my real place.
Just like any small room that I found, I took a peek
and my blood rushed with excitement.
But unlike before, I didn't had a hard time breathing.
It seemed that I already got accustomed in finding rooms.
I can't help but think that God is preparing me for
a better place.Anyway, this room that I found is not a thrilling as the other
rooms that I found before but I feel peace inside.
This new room is not as astounding as the place I want to have.Yet, who knows God will bring down the walls of this room and build me a bigger
new place. After all God always has a plan. Even when we make a mistake,
He will always make a way so that it will turned up for the good and not for evil.

"Don't let other people's comments bring you down. Deep down inside of you, you know who you are and you know that you are made of."
- Josiah [When uplifting a friend]
"When you come to a point where you need to decide, whether to obey God or not, remember you don't have a hard choice, you just need to ask, "What does the Holy Spirit wrote in my heart?" The bottom-line is whether we said "YES" to God or not."
