Here's what I was talking about in an earlier post:
In a few moments, the day will arrive.
It will roar down the track with the rising of the sun.
The stillness of the dawn will be exchanged for the noise of the day.
The calm of solitude will be replaced by the pounding pace of the human race.
The refuge of the early morning will be invaded by decisions to be made and deadlines to be met.
For the next 12 or so hours I will be exposed to the day’s demands.
It is now that I must make a choice. Because of Calvary, I’m free to choose.
And so…
I choose love.
No occasion justifies hatred; no injustice warrants bitterness.
Today I will love God and what God loves.
I choose joy.
I will invite my God to be the God of Circumstance.
I will refuse the temptation to be cynical, the tool of the lazy thinker.
I will refuse to see people as anything less than human beings, created by God.
I will refuse to see any problem as anything less than an opportunity to see God.
I choose peace.
I will live forgiven. I will forgive so that I may live.
I choose patience.
I will overlook the inconveniences of the world.
Instead of cursing the one who takes my place, I’ll invite him to do so.
Rather than complain that the wait is too long, I will thank God for a moments I have to pray.
Instead of clenching my fist at new assignments, I will face them with joy and courage.
I choose kindness.
I will be kind to the poor, for they are alone.
Kind to the rich for they are afraid.
And kind to the unkind for such is how God treated me.
I choose goodness.
I will go without a dollar before I take a dishonest one.
I will be overlooked before I will boast.
I will confess before I will accuse.
I choose faithfulness.
Today I will keep my promises.
My debtors will not regret their trust.
My associates will not question my word.
My spouse will not question my love.
My children will never fear that their father will not come home.
I choose gentleness.
Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle.
If I raise my voice, may it be only in praise.
If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer.
If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.
I choose self-control.
I am a spiritual being. After this body is dead, my spirit will soar.
I refuse to let what will rot rule the eternal.
I will be drunk only by joy, I will be impassioned only by my faith,
I will be influenced only by God. I will be taught only by Christ.
Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self control.
To these I commit my day.
If I succeed, I will give thanks.
If I fail, I will seek His grace.
And when this day is done, I will place my head on my pillow
and rest.

Pig Production Tips (Tagalog)
It's in Tagalog for better comprehension:
Mga TIP para sa mas mabilis na paglaki ng baboy (at mas malaking kita):
• Suriin araw-araw ang painuman (nipple drinker) ng baboy. Siguruhing malakas ang pressure (2 litro per minute). May epekto sa ganang kumain (appetite) ng baboy ang kakulangan sa tubig. Bukod dito, nagiging dahilan din ang kakulangan sa tubig ng mahinang paglaki ng baboy.
• Dahil sa patuloy na pagtaas ng presyo ng pakain (feeds), siguruhing may pakainan ang inyong ulbo (pig pen). Kailangang may 12-14 inches na pakainan ang bawat isang baboy. Iwasan ang pagpapakain sa sahig (floor feeding) dahil nasasayang lang ang pakain.
• Siguruhing naaayon sa sukat ng kulungan ang aalagaang baboy. Ang isang baboy ay nangangailangan ng 1-2 metro kwadrado (square meters) na sahig (floor space), depende sa pagkakagawa ng kulungan, init ng lugar, at baba ng bubong. Iniiwasan ang pagsisiksikan ng baboy dahil nagiging dahilan ito ng sipon at ubo (respiratory disease) na mahirap gamutin. Bukod dito, nagiging dahilan din ito ng mahinang paglaki ng baboy at nagreresulta sa karagdagang kunsumo ng pakain.
• Pagdating ng biik, turuan silang hanapin ang painuman sa pamamagitan ng pagtali ng alambre (tie wire) sa nipple para tumulo ito. Gawin ito sa loob ng unang tatlong oras. Sa ganitong paraan, madaling nakakainom ang biik. Maglagay din agad ng kaunting pakain sa pakainan upang mahanap agad nila ang pakainan.
• Siguruhing laging may pakain (feeds) ang pakainan. Sa pagpapalaki ng fattener, mas mabilis lumaki ang mga baboy kung tuloy-tuloy ang pagpapakain (ad libitum). Sa kabuuan, mas mabilis mabenta ang baboy at mas kaunting feeds ang makukunsumo, kaya mas lalaki ang kita.
• Kung nagpapakain sa labangan, iwasan ang pagpuno nito. Hindi ito pinupuno dahil matatapon lang ang pakain at masasayang. One-third (1/3) lang ng pakainan ang dapat na dami ng ilalagay na pakain.
• Iwasang magutom ang mga baboy. Ang pagkagutom ay isang uri ng stress. Maaari itong maging dahilan ng pagkakasakit ng baboy at mahinang paglaki. Kaya dapat iwasan ang dalawa o ang tatlong beses na pagpapakain lamang sa isang araw.
• Sa pagdating ng mga biik, siguruhing hindi nakahalo ang malalaki sa maliliit na biik. Kailangan silang paghiwalayin upang mas madaling makahabol sa paglaki ang maliliit na biik. Bukod dito, mabibigyan din sila ng sapat na atensyon.

Difficult People
I subscribe to BoSanchez.ph in my Google Reader. I don't read all his posts but his last two posts got my attention.
The first received more than 300 comments. Reading them made me feel better. I am so glad that I'm not experiencing what those readers did. Of course, all of us has our own share of difficult people but I am looking at them now positively that I don't consider them as difficult as before.
My job as a vet requires me to face "difficult" people everyday. As I look back, the one thing that contributes to this difficulty is communication or the lack of it. Now, I make it sure that I don't leave a client without him/her understanding my point. What I do is change my perspective so that we could get along well. It requires extra effort, but at the end of the day, I feel better.

Radio: DZFE
As I was preparing to go to work today, a very touching recorded prayer was played on the radio. I was touched by the prayer, because it was very for me.
I already emailed the station to ask for a copy. I'll share it with you if they send it to me.
The station is DZFE 98.7 by the Far East Broadcasting Company.

I'm having nightmares!
It's very clear. I shot two men but they don't seem to be injured by the bullets and they're running after me! This is the second part.
The first part was a wake but those present are dead people, muck like a purgatory, a temporary place for dead people. One talks about his illness, and the pain he could no longer feel as before, di na raw masakit.
What does this possibly mean?

New Post
I am not referring to this post but to the new work I am assigned to. From the farm, I now lead a team that is into livelihood projects. Before the transfer, I had to do inventories and reports which consumed much of my time.
I would probably be back after everything is in its proper place at work.
