The Reason I am CBS

The reason I wanted to be part of CBS because I need to belong somewhere. To be a part of a community. I chose CBS or Cebu Bloggers Society because I believe that CBS is here for a "good" reason, of course. And oh, Cebu, I really love this place. This place is my home, and CBS for me is a good place to start knowing and understanding it more. I also would want to reach out and help, maybe fight for a cause, raise people's voices, etc., and that is thru the use of my keyboard, my internet connection, my blog, and the WWW.

And as I look 10 years from now, I would be proud that I am a part of you guys here. And lastly, who knows I might find my lady valentine here.. :-) hihi

My Longest Introduction - Cebu Bloggers Society

Hi there people! Hello world! This is me FRANCIS DANIEL MANING aka blurem23 Facebook et al blurem23@yahoo.com

I dont know where to start actually, there so much I can tell about myself. Mostly I am just like the typical guy around you. But sometimes I am spontaneous, a bit different, want to be different. A listener sometimes, when the situation calls for it, and sometimes a talker. I could not fully describe myself coz even I myself cant think of what I really am. Of course, I AM STRAIGHT huh, I am always fascinated by the form of the female human body. Girls are my weakness.

I am somewhat a master of all straits, or just trying to be, and yet I am a master of none. I can sometimes give advice but always require a second opinion. I can oftentimes solve hard problems you want me to solve, but I am always having problems solving my own. I always take the hardest way out, and I always compromise things. My head is full of ideas, but I find it hard realizing them.

One good thing I am proud of is that I am not a blamer. I believe that whatever happens to my life is never another man's doing but my own. I look back to the things that happened in my life, both good and bad, and I just smile instead of being sad, and i tell myself, what a wonderful life i had. I always make sure that I make a Life not just a living. Have a career not just a job.

I live each day as if it were the last. I never cared for tomorrow, I know its not really good, but I just dont know why. I believe things happen for a reason, and I always believe that life will find its own way.

I just dont know why most people believe that I am tough, full of confidence, a true man, a real man, as if there is nothing i cant do. Some even believed I have girlfriends left and right! hahaha.. But the truth is, I am no good in relationships, no one has truly owned me. And I envy those people who are successful in their relationships. I can always hear them say to me, "biliba jud nako nimo bai." Honestly, my greatest failure? Was that I was never man enough to keep my family intact.

Now I am a single parent, if I were to chose between Half Cup Full or Half Cup Empty, then it is Half Cup Empty. I once thought it was Half Cup Full but later on i realized it was Half empty. My life is half empty.

I am not charismatic nor I am religious but I have faith. And many times I asked from HIM and it was given. And just to be honest, it such a shame, that I am never worthy of HIM.

Hayst. I am already 27 years old as of this post. Huh But I cant really find where to put myself, maybe its about time, to let life make its way and decide for myself.

whew!! taas taas jud da!!! anyways, thanks for reading (if you did read).. :-)

by the way, Thanks to all CBS admin for giving me a chance to be a part of this community. Its really an honor to be with you guys..

Cory Aquino Died - Cause Colon Cancer

Cory Aquino, 76 years of age, died Saturday morning at 3:18 am. The cause of death was advanced colon cancer. Diagnosed last year and now her long fight against her colon cancer finally ended. Cory Aquino then went on a cardiac arrest which ended her life. The mother of Philippine democracy, the icon of Philippine freedom, the women who ousted a powerful dictator of her time, finally rested in peace. It was for the first time in the world that the civilian people were called to defend the military against an oppressor.

Our prayers are always with you as you journey into a higher life, in heaven. Just yesterday I thought of sending you a letter, just as many thousand people who have did, especially the youth. But this morning I was too late.

I always remember her, as I was watching the news, with her yellow dress on, a trademark that she alway

s carries.

I was still young then,

but I can still recall how she led a nation. She went to office as the first Filipina to have a seat in Malacañang Palace. Driven by the force of the people, a hope of an entire nation, who before her was a nation of unrest. Before her seat as President, turmoil was evident and even during her time, during the Quo, she stood firm, and with the strength of God and the people on her side, she succeeded.

Not only in the Philippines, but also to the entire world, she showed the capacity of a woman. She embraced all fear and all doubts after the death of her good husband Ninoy Aquino. She is a Philippine beloved and a lover of our nation, a true Filipina Heroine.

“She was headstrong and single-minded in one goal, and that was to remove all vestiges of an entrenched dictatorship," Raul C. Pangalangan, former dean of the Law School at the University of the Philippines, said in 2009. "We all owe her in a big way."

Because of her, we the Filipino people learned the true meaning of freedom. Since then, many changed. We became more aware and more conscious about the true duty of a Government official or agency, the importance of press freedom, the people’s rights, and many more important aspects that we all share the same today.

And it was only in her Presidency that I have seen what should all presidents be, free from corruption. Maria Corazon Cojuangco Aquino was a woman of good faith in God, God fearing, and a lover of all people.

Our prayers will always be with you as you embark on your new journey in life, a life of light, peace, and joy. It is a life much more different from the life that was offered to you while you were in Earth. Rest in peace President Corazon Aquino.
