Parable of the lost sheep

Luke 15:1-7
15 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

This is for you guys:

"Words"

Smile, an everlasting smile

A smile can bring you near to me

Don't ever let me find you gone

Cause that would bring a tear to me

This world has lost it's glory

Lets start a brand new story

Now my love

You think that I don't even mean

A single word I say...

It's only words

And words are all I have

To take your heart away

Talk, in everlasting words

And dedicate them all, to me

And I will give you all my life

I'm here if you should call to me

You think that I don't even mean

a single word I say...

[Chorus, repeat]

Da da da da da da da

Da da da da da da da da

Da da da da da da da da

Da da da da da da da da

This world has lost it's glory

Let's start a brand new story

Now, my love

You think that I don't even mean

a single word I say...

[Repeat chorus twice]

Autobots, transform and roll!!!

Transformers is one of the coolest robot stories I seen growing up. There's also the Planets of the Gobots. As much as Optimus Prime is great and leads the robot pack, I must say my favorite is Ironhide. It seems far-fetched that artificial intelligence can go advanced as that. I think the only way for us to see robots moving and deciding by themselves is that if we can unlock the mystery of the soul. Then the soul will occupy and control an inanimate object like a robot. You guys ever seen Zoids on tv? The concept is quite similar but in Zoids, there are somewhat animal-like/ alien beings that can transfer as a whole, i mean body and soul, into giant fighter robots.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmJtHsbzCUk

Planet Zi, a world where warrior bio-machine lifeforms called Zoids live. They are controled by human pilots in a war with the Republic and the Guylos Empire. One day a boy named Van being cased by bandits hides in some old ruins, he finds two pods in a hidden room & opens one to find out its an odd dragon-like Zoid called an Organoid which he names Zeke. Zeke then ressurects an old dead blue Shield Liger Zoid for Van to pilot. When Van opens the 2nd pod a very mysterious girl named Fiona comes out of it. They go on the adventure to find more about her past & to find the Zoid Eve, they meet new friends & they get into some serious problems including the war which they try to stop.

Transform and roll! G1 countries, hello! Time for you guys to develop.

Tourniquet

"Tourniquet" (Evanescence)

I tried to kill my pain

But only brought more

So much more

I lay dying

And I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal

I'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming

Am I too lost to be saved?

Am I too lost?

My God my tourniquet

Return to me salvation

My God my tourniquet

Return to me salvation

Do you remember me?

Lost for so long

Will you be on the other side

Or will you forget me?

I'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming

Am I too lost to be saved?

Am I too lost?

My God my tourniquet

Return to me salvation

My God my tourniquet

Return to me salvation

(return to me salvation)

I want to die!!!

My God my tourniquet

Return to me salvation

My God my tourniquet

Return to me salvation

My wounds cry for the grave

My soul cries for deliverance

Will I be denied Christ

Tourniquet

My suicide

(return to me salvation)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO_3nArjlOU

God is love and God offers salvation as love offers happiness I guess. If we replace God with love and salvation with happiness, the song is simply an ode to a lover.

Influences

1 Corinthians 5
1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

Okay let me explain this one. You have the prerogative on who are your influences. If someone ticks you off, why keep company with the person when it messes your mood? Of course I would keep them away as silently as possible. However if the wicked person become noisy and troublesome, you single them out. I said that there are levels of understanding and these will be understood only by adults and the elderly. These unruly guys are the babies and the young ones you have to guide. In God's time, they will understand.

The last supper

The last supper as the Bible says is the final meal that Jesus shared with his apostles in Jerusalem before his crucifixion. Like I said in my earlier post, Jesus probably met a special woman. And them being story tellers or like a boys club in ancient times, this is like a despedida or a bachelor party. They shared the body of christ and drink some wine, meaning they shared knowledge or stories of the past. But what I am writing is just a work of fiction.

Let us go on with the seven last words of Jesus on the cross:

One Luke 23:34
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
The criminals on his sides are people playing good cop and bad cop.

Two Luke 23:43
And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.
To the good criminals, Jesus said you can be my friends or at least I will follow you on twitter.

Three John 19:26-27
When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
Jesus introduced her mother to his close friend and entrusted his mother to him. Probably temporary because the woman lives far away.

Four Matthew 27:46
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Jesus cannot understand the woman's behavior.

Five John 19:28
After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
Jesus misses the woman.

Six John 19:30
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
Jesus exasperated, maybe thinking of giving up.

Seven Luke 23:46
And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

Jesus says to the woman, boyfriend-girlfriend?

*EDIT.

Revelation
21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

Diamonds

Diamonds are formed through periods of extreme pressure and extreme temperature. This is my favorite phrase or definition. Let us say in case of countries that have gone through hardships like wars. If somehow they will be developed nations, its like creating diamonds. Now almost all countries have gone through wars and what differentiates them is the degree of hardships they suffered. But if these countries can strive harder to mirror their hardships to success then they will become diamonds. The bigger their hardships, I think they are capable of becoming bigger diamonds. Its like the Yin and the Yang, the Golden rule and karma. Now this is not a privilege for nations. This is in theory so people will have to train and work for it for the good. But if you do it for bad purposes, you will not become a diamond. Why? Let's talk about Math. You suffered hardships and then you do bad things. That is like adding two negatives, which makes a bigger negative. Its like digging deeper to your grave. However if you keep adding positives then you will balance and overtake the negatives. Which means the good memories balance out and overtake the bad ones. I think applies to everything else you can put your mind into.

Revelation 20:12
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Mirrors

Growth

Humans grow the bones horizontally that is why we become big boned (not being naughty). And I think that is because of gravity. We spend most of our day, around 16 hours walking or sitting so I would think gravity pushes the bone growth horizontally. So what if people spend their day sideways? Just wondering if this will make people taller. I realize this is the case for babies and toddlers. For adolescents I guess they must sleep longer until the growth spurts stop. They say these spurts stop until about 25 years old. But doesn't necessarily mean that growth stops altogether. So am I saying taller is better? In basketball, a good tall team will most probably beat a good small team. We have now our first assumption: taller is better. Next our assumption would be the internal organs gets stretched as well. Like in the case of the brain. If the skull gets elongated, this allows the brains to grow that way cause the skull molds the brains. We have to observe and evaluate what it does to the brains. Or like in the case of Usain Bolt, we assume that he has better lung system to complement his limbs. And so on the heart, liver and etcetera. Of course we are talking purely physical here. If the brains for example are not mentally developed, its just a waste.

I was thinking experiments, this can dangerous so handle with care. What if we increase the gravity in an enclosure? Can we make babies or toddlers taller when they sleep? Again what are the further effects on the brains and other organs?

Etymology

Tabo
Went to an antique shop today and went through some pictures. The first picture below is described as a Lacquer ewer with cloud design. Western Han, 2nd century B.C. The second one, the container used by Filipinos today for sanitary purposes.

In all probability, when a Chinese brought this to the Philippines, the locals used this to wash their you know what. Then an American was informed of its use and he said, 'Man that was taboo'. Filipinos call it as 'tabo' since then.

These days (16)

Home economics
We have a subject like this in h.s. and our teacher told us to make a garnish. I remember getting a carrot and putting two eyes in it. It looked like a rat.

Movie ideas
I think a drama film is better than say a horror or action movie. I don't know, I am not an authority on things like this. Maybe too much violence and noise in horror, action, comedy movies. Okay I recommend you a good one, With Honors where 'Joe Pesci' lives in the basement of a university library and a group of students became acquainted with him and searched his story.

Governance
As was mentioned before, I have the opinion that the government set qualifications for public officials. I mean we have examinations for entrance in universities and in the work place, the public office should be no different. How can they govern with good standards if they do not have the knowledge? I am favor of political dynasty if they pass the qualification. And of course, I think we have the Ombudsman check them out. Which would mean stricter qualifications for the Ombudsman office. Just my two cents worth.

Growth
Humans grow the bones horizontally that is why we become big boned (not being naughty). And I think that is because of gravity. We spend most of our day, around 16 hours walking or sitting so I would think gravity pushes the bone growth horizontally. So what if people spend their day sideways? just wondering if this will make people taller.

2 cameras
These are must-haves for traveling. One, a tough, durable and waterproof Point and Shoot camera you can bring anywhere. Secondly, a bulky DSLR with lens and a tripod to shoot macros and the moon for example.

Versions
Everything must have come from something, I said this before. Like the film Vanilla Sky, when I read it was from a Mexican film, I immediately watched it. I like getting to the original concept. Same thing with the Bible, I always compare the verses and refer to the King James which is one of the earliest translations of the Bible to settle the differences in interpretations. Say in this modern version Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord; Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. In King James, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Do you see the difference? The King James verse is absolute.

King Kong
So I've been thinking, Hong Kong rhymes with King Kong. The story of King Kong is that a filmmaker who likes to film in exotic places and gets a ship for the next project. He finds the leading lady for the film Ann Darrow and the ship's first mate became attracted to her. The filmmaker led the crew to an uncharted island known as Kong. Ann ran into natives who captured her and bring her to the King of Kong, a giant Gorilla. There are also dangerous creatures on the island and King Kong protected her from them. The strangers managed to captured King Kong with a gas bomb and took him to New York and presented as the Eight wonder of the world. Kong escapes and gets Ann and climbed to the Empire State Building. Fighter planes fired at the Gorilla and he died because of the wounds. Some believed it was the planes which killed the Gorilla while some believed it was Beauty meaning Ann who killed the him. Let us say Ann Darrow is Hong Kong and King Kong is China. With the death of King Kong I believe is the death of the rampage. Its just symbolic of openness to globalization. Okay I will be blunt with this. If Hong Kong, and Taiwan for that matter, votes for independence, I think China has to let them go.

Religious shows
I admit watching them countless of hours as a young man. Its just natural to search for the truth. But these other religions does not answer my questions so I cannot join them. You know people grow and you just look back on these as something you learned from.

Soda
Here's my verdict on sodas after drinking more than my usual. It just reiterated my observations in the past. It disrupts your bowel system. Iffy. Lots of farting. Makes you sweat sticky and uncomfortable as opposed to feeling fresh with water therapy. Sugar fools your brain that you are full already so you eats less and gets less nutrition as well. On the other hand, it tastes good and is welcomed by all. My personal decision is to avoid as much as possible.

Psycho-thrillers
I just watched Flatliners again. You know the movie is about medical students who want to search for the after life. They helped one of them to end his life then resuscitate him back to the living. Creepy stuff so the actors are convincing. Not advisable to watch alone though.
