Giacomo DiNorscio and Ferdinand Marcos: Verdict and Similarities

What is my verdict? This is the question I need to answer with further reason and analysis and it can take me days to think of the best decision over the whole trial against the conspiracy of the mafia family. Including which is Giacomo DiNorscio and is nicknamed as Jackie. Let me start of by saying who Fat Jack or Jackie Dee, the known nicknames of Mr. DiNorscio, is.

He was one of the New Jersey notorious Lucchese crime families. He was arrested for the illegal distribution of narcotics to the dealers. He served in seventeen and a half long years of his thirty-year sentence. Without any knowledge in a court trial’s proceeding, he defended his own self in the twenty-one-month trial of the New Jersey Crew.

The laughing jurors in the court bug the mind of the lawyers of the each side as Mr. DiNorscio gives an edge among his fellow defendants. He made the jury laugh. Most of the lawyers know that when the jurors get to laughing, they will probably decide in favor of the defendant resulting to the discrimination and hatred towards him from the family whom are also his fellow defendants in the trial against conspiracy.

As a law-abiding citizen, I can not allow such illegal actions. But as a soft-hearted person, I am touched with the love of Mr. DiNorcsio to his own mafia family, who neglected him over the whole trial, when he begged the jurors to find himself guilty saving from the families’ destruction.

Therefore, I say he is not guilty.

On the other hand, the brilliance of Jackie impressed me during the whole trial. He caught the witnesses off guard of the hidden truth. He was able to analyze and find ways in order to draw back the accusations. His defense can be compared to how a Philippine president dictator defends himself while he was imprisoned of a murder. Ferdinand Marcos, as well, had proven himself not guilty of the charge against him.

The two clever defendants raise the hopes of the lost. Mr. DiNorscio, attaining the highest education level of a 6th grader, and Mr. Marcos, a law student, exhibited great motivation and inspiration to the eyes of the people. Being brilliant is innate to us and they have used it well enough to defend their own self.

THE CURSED FIG-TREE THAT WITHERS AWAY (Matthew 21:18-22)

Matthew 21:18-22

In the morning (after throwing over the money-changers' tables in the Temple, and staying overnight in nearby Bethany) he came back early to the city and felt hungry. He saw a fig-tree growing by the side of the road, but when he got to it he discovered there was nothing on it but leaves.

"No more fruit shall ever grow on you!" he said to it, and all at once the fig-tree withered away. When the disciples saw this happen they were simply amazed. "How on earth did the fig-tree wither away quite suddenly like that?" they asked.
"Believe me," replied Jesus, "if you have faith and have no doubts in your heart, you will not only do this to a fig-tree but even if you should say to this hill, 'Get up and throw yourself into the sea', it will happen! Everything you ask for in prayer, if you have faith, you will receive."


PERSONAL REFLECTION:

The miracle plainly depicts how of truly strong Jesus’ faith is. He teaches us to have more faith and constant prayer. We can do anything with our devotion. When we dedicate ourselves, it must be full and no sign of any doubt in the heart. We can move mountains if we have faith. We can never know how and where our faith will bring us to. He said that in everything that we ask for in our prayers, we will achieve it if we only have deep faith to it. We, therefore, must believe in life and in ourselves in accordance with God’s will and love.

LOVE and HATE

When I look in your cute and messed up hair, I..

It makes me sick.. so sick that I cannot bare to move and I can't

See the beauty that overshadows life.

I don't want to get in touch with YOU.

Please don't leave me

with the memories between you and I.

In just a blink of an eye;

I want you to be gone in my precious and fragile world.

All I ever wanted you to know is I love

nothing about you and in fact, I am SO SO SO SICK of

YOU!!

-Blessy Montes

Difference Between Pagan and Muslim Worship ( in Visayan)

Ang Kalahian sa Pag-ampo sa Pagano ug Muslim

Ang butang, ang tingog, ang bukid, ang kasildlak sa init sa adlaw ug ang tanang butang nga naa sa kalibutan, apil na ang kalawasan sa isa ka tawo kay grabe ka-importante sa isa ka tawo nga mutuo og daghang ginoo. Ang nagasimba sila pinaagi sa seremonya ug kaugalingong pag-ampo. Ang mga tao na nagtuo sa biskan kinsang diyos diyos kay mas musimba pinaagi sa ilang kaugalingong sulod na dibinidad. Ang ilang pag-ampo nagatumpo sa mga lugar na wala ginahimo o niagi sa kamot sa mga katawhan. Ang pagsimba nila kay katumanan lampas pa sa katumanan.

Ang pagkadibinidad sa ilang pag-ampo sa ilang diyos-diyosan nagasulti mahitungod kung unsa ang ilang kalawasang gina-pangandoy, maski na ang pagkawala sa ilang mga malay, ug ang panabot. Pinaagi kaniadto, ilang gipadayon ang ilang kaugalingon na magsaksi ug mabati ang kalalum sa panghunahuna alang sa ilang tibuok na pagampo. Ang mga lalaki ug babae kay dungan mag-ampo. Lahos diani ang pagkatinumaron sa pagkapantay sa mga tao maski na ma-babae man siya o ma-lalaki man.

Sa ilang pagkapagano, nituo sila ug daghang ginoo mao na ang mga muslim mo-kontra ani nga butang. Sa duha ka grupo, dako gayud ang kalahian. Ang hingtungdan nga mutuo sa daghang ginoo mo-kontra gayud sa hingtungdan nga mutuo sa isa lamang ka ginoo. Ang mga Muslim mutuo or naga-ampo lang sa isa ka Ginoo nga siya ra gayud ug wala nay lain pa. Ang handomanan sa pagsimba sa isa lang ka ginoo nga si Allah mao ang ilang pag-ampo ug sakripisyo.

Ang Islam isa ka relihiyon. Gibutang niani ang mga santop or hunahuna na nagsulti ug bahin sa matinuoray. Nagbungat kini nga dapat ang tanan tao mutuo sa ilang balaod. Nangbungat usab kini nga dapat tanang tao musunod sa balaod ug panid-an ug maayo ang ilang mga seremonya. Kung kinsa man ang mutuo ug mga butang adisir sa ilang ginoo nga si Allah kay mag-antos sa sangpotanan nga gisaad sa ilang balaod ug pagkamatay kung grabe na kaayo.

Ang relihiyon ginapalaya ta sa pagka-ignorante ug tuo tuo. Kung malaya kita sa kani nga mga butanga, ginapalaya pud ta sa pagkahalok sa kamatayon ug ang kaulipnan sa sala. Kita pud pagbahin o magsalo sa parehong tinguha ug pangmahal sa pagkamatinud-anon kanato. Kita, sama-sama na mangita sa Tinuod isip usa ka pumapanaw sa dalan sa kinabuhi. Kada usa ka relihiyon nag-angkon sa kinaiyahan nga balaan nga pagkatawo.

Know the difference between loyal and faithful

A faithful person doesn't have time to get attracted with other persons. His attention is exclusively for the only one he loves.

A loyal person still gets attracted to others, appreciates beauty, flirt in some ways but at the end of the day, he knows where his heart belongs.

Are you faithful or loyal?

Just for today

Just for today,

decide to be happy.
To live with what is yours.
If you can't have what you want,
maybe you can like what you have...


Just for today,

decide to be kind.
Be cheerful.
Be agreeable.
Be understanding.
Be your best.
Dress your best.
Talk softly.
Look for the brighter side of things.
Praise people instead of criticizing them...

Just for today,

try it.
After all,
it is just for a day.
Who knows?
You might like it and do it again tomorrow.

See the difference

A professor wrote at the black board:

A woman without her man is nothing


He said to his students, "Place punctuation marks in that sentence."


All the boys wrote:

"A woman, without her man, is nothing."

while all the girls wrote:

" A woman; without her,man is nothing."


See the difference?

Past is PAST

If you want happiness,

don't walk together with your past.

It may be unforgettable

but the reality is...



"Past is just a Lesson"

Just look back

but


Never bring it back.
