The story is told about three heads of state making a private audience before God during their terms of office.
"What do you want My son?" God the Father asked the Russian President Boris Yeltsin.

"After the downfall of Communism, heavenly Father, grant me success to implement democracy in my country." God the Father replied, "I am sorry Boris, but I cannot give you the request you're asking - not in your lifetime. At that, Yeltsin broke down and wept.

I monitored the number of brownouts at home (Virac) over the month of February. I recorded the instances in the comments of my post for the January summary.
I have tried to be accurate and fair in my monitoring. There may have been brownouts occurring in the small hours whilst asleep that I missed. However The records are conservative and I believe represent a fair record of the truth.

The Separation of Church and State is one of the more well-guarded provisions of the Philippine Constitution, in reaction to the evils experienced during the era of a state-imposed religion. This policy of separation of church and state is reinforced by the fundamental freedom of religion and free exercise thereof, which, again is one of the jewels of the citizens’ bill of rights.

Ngonyan na panahon ano na daw an sitwasyon
igwa pa man daw siram an lambang huyomhuyom
minakogos pa man daw si agom ki agom

Aldaw nin pagkamoot nahalean na nin daripuyot
naging 'bag-ong taon' sa parteng madiklum

THE TWO DROPS OF OIL

(POSTED BY PAULO COELHO in his twitter account @paulocoelho)

A merchant sent his son to learn the Secret of Happiness from the wisest of men. The young man wandered through the desert for forty days until he reached a beautiful castle at the top of a mountain. There lived the sage that the young man was looking for.

In my first book I told you, Theophilus, about everything Jesus began to do and teach until the day he was taken up to heaven after giving his chosen apostles further instructions through the Holy Spirit. – (Acts 1:1-2)

God’s leaders in the Old Testament spoke by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus is God in human flesh, but Luke emphasizes that Jesus spoke with the authority of God — giving “instructions through the Holy Spirit. These words that Jesus speaks to his “chosen apostles” are his last words with them on earth.
