http://quietbutnotstill.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 20, 2014. Humble has two meanings. It means NOT PROUD and it means LOW TO THE GROUND. That's Wilbur all over. He's not proud and he is near the ground."-Charlotte, Charlotte's Web. Sometimes, a gentle reminder such as this hits the spot. :-) This list comes from St. Josemaria Escriva, a saint for ordinary people doing ordinary work. Allow me to remind you that among other evident signs of a lack of humility are:. Thinking that what you do or say is better than what others do or say. Letti...

The people who are for RH accuse those who are against it of caring too much about people you can't see that the health and the rights of the people you can. As if pregnancy is a disease. And anyway, women's health is already covered in the Magna Carta of Women. Which is already a law. SEC 17. Women’s Right to Health. – (a) Comprehensive Health. Women’s mortality and morbidity: Provided, That in the provision for.

Drawing Lines: No to lazy solutions
http://quietbutnotstill.blogspot.com/2013/07/no-to-lazy-solutions.html
Thursday, July 18, 2013. No to lazy solutions. Last week, a news story on MMDA’s plans. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t have a rant or two about jeeps and buses—I won’t deny that their drivers seem not to have learned the basics of traffic rules. But don’t forget that no matter how many complaints arise about the. Here's an old story:. Because it's not pleasant to take public transpo!

Drawing Lines: Picky picky
http://quietbutnotstill.blogspot.com/2013/07/picky-picky.html
Thursday, July 25, 2013. If you say a new person with unique DNA is not alive. Then explain why this whole development process starts off at that point. I'm glad this article came out in PDI last Sunday. After the July 9 oral arguments at the SC, you'd think it would be clearer to the public why the RH Law is unconstitutional. But no, the media is picky, and it decides not to report a lot of things. So we gotta give The Philippine Daily Inquirer. S op ed piece. :-) Here's something from that article:.

Drawing Lines: March 2013
http://quietbutnotstill.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 6, 2013. Art by Aaron Felizmenio. I just came across this interesting article. An online news publication (soon to be print tabloid). It talks about how to be a good voter by describing the bad habits of a bad voter ("bobotante"). Here's one that must be reiterated:. 3 “Di ko kilala mga kandidato. Bahala na sa makikita ko sa balota.”. It's true that before we go vote, we have to do our homework! I like this one too:. 6 “Di na ko boboto, wala rin naman magbabago.”. Your non-vote is an ind...
