I Choose You

Matthew 20
1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. 2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. 5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. 6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? 7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. 8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. 9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. 10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. 11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, 12 Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. 13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? 14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. 15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good? 16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
Old-time fans call the new fans as bandwagoners. Say for basketball teams and fans. Celebrities and fans. These old-timers are the nuthuggers. The last shall be first and the first last. Many are called, few are chosen. The celebrity will have favorite fans regardless if they are wagoners or not. And the discussions could be technical, serious, personal or humorous. But the fans can be irritating at times. Bottomline is it does not matter whether you came first or last. The householder has free will like a single woman will choose among her suitors regardless if the suitor came early or late.


So I am thinking of the BBL and its repercussions. I am tired to research so my impression is that it is an autonomous region. Which I think is not a good idea. Because we have the existing framework already. Like I said, we need an ambassador to the world like Kris Aquino, there should be regional ambassadors so they can be bridges trusted by both the government and the regional people. Say for the Muslim area, they will have a Sultan and his family with powers that is related to social work and public relations. How's that for an idea? 

Its all about delegation of work. I read there are 17 regions now? So I guess it better be one Sultan each for Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. 

Come on guys, it is written on the flag: 3 stars and a sun. Stars meaning charismatic persons and a sun which is the brightest of them.

The USA has 50 flags which represents their states and territories. They have governors in their states but are they stars? So I just leave it for them to think about this because they know their country better. Also there is strife between red and white. On a positive note, they just fond of debating.

China has 4 stars plus one star which is the biggest among them.

Japan has the biggest star.

The United Kingdom, a big cross and 8 pieces of the pie.

Australia, a small cross, 8 small pieces of pie, one big star and 5 smaller stars.

Saudi Arabia, arabic text that says Muhammad is the messenger of God. A single-edged sword which means the tongue or talking or communication of good work. If you view this as literal why do you use guns and bombs? Why not the sword in your flag? The sword is symbolic of communicating, learning and criticizing.

India has the tri-color but there is a 24-spoke wheel in the center which refers to a unicycle. Perhaps in two years we see something being done to remove the caste system.
