REVIEW: Korean War

It is almost fifty years ago when the war between the two Koreas began. It rooted from the collapsed of the last Korean empire the Daehan-jeguk dated on 1909 when it was conquered by Japan.  The Korean territory was under by the military power of Japan for almost Thirty-five years.  By the year 1945, the Empire of Japan surrendered to the Allies. According to the conditions of Potsdam Declaration, Korea becomes independent. After the capitulate of Japan, the Korean peninsula is divided between Soviet and American occupation forces at the 38th parallel. In the year 1948, the Republic of Korea and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea was established, Syngman Rhee as President in the South and Kim Il-sung as Premier in the North. June 25, 1950, North Korean troops open fire and cross the 38th parallel and Seoul was captured within three days. The Korean War begins. Many talks were made to settle it up, still no formal agreement was formed to have peace on the two Koreas. Until now, Korea is technically at war.

Last  November 23, 2010 North Korea attacked the island of Yeonpyeong  near to their disputed territorial boarder killing two soldiers and leaved at least 14 injured civilians. The government of The United States robustly condemns this attack and calls on North Korea to stop its aggressive deed,” the White House said. (BLOOMBERG NEWS by Jonathan Tirone - Nov 23, 2010 11:38 PM GMT+08.).   
Days after the attack, countless joint military exercises were held by the US and South Korean Army to show that they were not threatened by the bombing. The government ordered the youth to undergo military training to prepare whether the tension get hot.  Months later many attempt of having a formal peace agreement was made between the two Koreas, none of it succeed.  

Why did the two Korean countries cannot be reunite and live as one like before? They’re both Koreans anyway, they have the same Nationality, same History, and same Blood. Why do they allow many people suffer in  passion of war that they created? Is it because of power? A power that many people dreamed of, to lead and control people through their hands?  Is it enough to sacrifice one’s life to get the power that you’ve wanted? Now, think again.

Witty Ways of Announcing Class Suspension : Only in Cavite

For the past years, social media become an information hub for announcements that is being made by the government and many private sectors, both local and national. This new way of disseminating information helps people get in touch for the latest announcements especially times of bad weather.

Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter is being used for this. Announcement like suspension of classes  is done using the two social media site.

The Governor of Cavite, Jonvic Remulla , uses both Facebook and Twitter for this. 

Announcements done by the Governor is usually written in formal form.





But, not all the times. In some cases the governor makes it humorous to clear-up the bad atmosphere brought by the weather. In his recent post, students from Cavite lauded the governor for his witty and humorous way of announcing the suspension of classes in response to their prior comments.

It's About "The Best of Youngblood"

“The Best of Youngblood” by Jorge Aruta, Ceres Doyo and Letty Jimenez-Magsanoc is a compilation of 77 essays from the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Some of it is “The Myth of Generation X and “Anak ng Katulong”.

“Anak ng Katulong” is what I liked most. It was based on a true story of its writer Joven de la Tierra. It tells us about the life of a child whose mother is house helper. They live in his mother’s master’s house. I can relate to this story because of my Aunt in the province that becomes a maid in Manila. It tells us what is the true status of the person such as the difference between rich and poor that was always seen where ever we are. It also tells even we work, and salary the not enough for the daily needs of the family.

The Myth of Generation X that was written by Frank Cimatu that tells us on how to live without religion and without God. Nowadays some people don’t believe in God anymore and sometimes they don’t respect it. According to the essay The Myth of Generation X “Judging from the number of my age mates joining Christian groups (in 1980, there were 288 Christian fundamentalist sects in the Philippines and Fil-Am community, but by 1987, there were more than 1,137), it is still safe to say Christ died for us.” I think this part of the article shows that they don’t believe that God save us from our sins and Christ died for us.

I notice that our lives differ from each other. We have different stories and experiences to share. We must live in life with faith in God and faith in our family.

This book shows many essay or stories that based in reality. This is good to read by the corrupt politician's even ordinary people so they could learn what is the life of those who live in poverty.

"Jesus is Not God, but a Prophet Higher than Mohammed "


There was a video I found on Facebook that tells about Jesus and how He is being viewed by our Muslim brothers and sisters. In some point, I got curious about it, and so I googled an online Qur'an, and I found the story of Mary's conception to Jesus as Angel Gabriel denote it as the forthcoming of the messiah, in Surat 'Ali 'Imran 3:41-45. I compared it to the bible we Christians use and I found  differences on the story. 

We, believe and worship to a one and only God, the only difference on it is that we Christians believe that God came to earth in form of Jesus to cleanse us from our original sin. I may not be in the position to lecture about religion but as what the song of Jamie Rivera tells about "We are all God's children, We are all the same, He is calling us by name to help the poor and lame, And learn what life is really for, It's to know and love and serve the Lord"

We worship God in different forms, we should just respect everyone's faith and live in harmony and peace.

(Background: Jews Christianity and Islam came from one family, the Abrahamic religion. )


Surat 'Āli `Imrān (Family of Imran) - سورة آل عمران

3:41-45

He said, "My Lord, make for me a sign." He Said, "Your sign is that you will not [be able to] speak to the people for three days except by gesture. And remember your Lord much and exalt [Him with praise] in the evening and the morning."

And [mention] when the angels said, "O Mary, indeed Allah has chosen you and purified you and chosen you above the women of the worlds.

O Mary, be devoutly obedient to your Lord and prostrate and bow with those who bow [in prayer]."

That is from the news of the unseen which We reveal to you, [O Muhammad]. And you were not with them when they cast their pens as to which of them should be responsible for Mary. Nor were you with them when they disputed.

[And mention] when the angels said, "O Mary, indeed Allah gives you good tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary - distinguished in this world and the Hereafter and among those brought near [to Allah ].

Luke 1:26-38

Six months after Elizabeth had become pregnant, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a city in Galilee. The angel went to a virgin promised in marriage to a descendant of David named Joseph. The virgin’s name was Mary.

When the angel entered her home, he greeted her and said, “You are favored by the Lord! The Lord is with you.”

She was startled by what the angel said and tried to figure out what this greeting meant.

The angel told her,“Don’t be afraid, Mary. You have found favor[a] with God.You will become pregnant, give birth to a son,and name him Jesus.He will be a great man and will be called the Son of the Most High.The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David.Your son will be king of Jacob’s people forever,and his kingdom will never end.” Mary asked the angel, “How can this be? I’m a virgin.”

The angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come to you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore, the holy child developing inside you will be called the Son of God.

“Elizabeth, your relative, is six months pregnant with a son in her old age. People said she couldn’t have a child. But nothing is impossible for God.”

Mary answered, “I am the Lord’s servant. Let everything you’ve said happen to me.”

Then the angel left her.
