  • 20090713-Twelve Promises

    Tonight, I saw an old, orange bookmarker lying on the wooden display of our ‘sacred space’ upstairs, recalled an old blog entry 20090225-Orange Bookmarker, and decided to share this list:

    The Twelve Promises Of The Sacred Heart To St. Margaret Mary

    1. I will give them all the graces necessary for their state of life.

    2. I will give peace in their troubles.

    3. I will console them in all their troubles.

    4. They shall find in My Heart an assured refuge during life and especially at the hour of death.

    5. I will pour abundant blessings on all their undertakings.

    6. Sinners shall find in My Heart the source and infinite ocean of mercy.

    7. Tepid souls shall become fervent.

    8. Fervent souls shall speedily rise to great perfection.

    9. I will bless the homes in which the image of My Sacred Heart shall be exposed and honored.

    10. I will give to priests the power to touch the most hardened hearts.

    11. Those  who propagate the devotion shall have their name written in My Heart, and it shall never be effaced.

    12. The all-powerful love of My Heart will grant to all those who shall receive Communion on the First Friday of nine consecutive months the grace of final repentance; they shall not die under My displeasure, nor without receiving their Sacraments; My Heart shall be their assured refuge at that last hour.

    Marguerite Marie Alacoque

    “And He [Christ] showed me that it was His great desire of being loved by men and of withdrawing them from the path of ruin that made Him form the design of manifesting His Heart to men, with all the treasures of love, of mercy, of grace, of sanctification and salvation which it contains, in order that those who desire to render Him and procure Him all the honour and love possible, might themselves be abundantly enriched with those divine treasures of which His heart is the source.”

    [He should be honored under the figure of this Heart of flesh, and its image should be exposed … He promised me that wherever this image should be exposed with a view to showing it special honor, He would pour forth His blessings and graces. This devotion was the last effort of His love that He would grant to men in these latter ages, in order to withdraw them from the empire of Satan which He desired to destroy, and thus to introduce them into the sweet liberty of the rule of His love, which He wished to restore in the hearts of all those who should embrace this devotion.”]

    [Flynn’s Editorial: [snickering in the background] I feel that the interrogation is another smokescreen..]

    WASHINGTON – Attorney General Eric Holder is considering whether to appoint a criminal prosecutor to investigate the Bush administration’s interrogation practices, a controversial move that would run counter to President Barack Obama’s wishes to leave the issue in the past.

  • 20090711-Korean Drama

    Watched the last 30 minutes of a Korean romance: `Again My Love` (미워도 다시 한번 / Hateful But Once Again) 2009 on cable.

    A poster showing the two stories with the story of the left half sad!

    The episode showed the couple to the right of this poster – Minsu & Yunhui: They got in a car accident and said they were sorry and loved each other.

    The threesome to the left of the poster was a tear-jerker. She waited @ 1600PM but he never showed up. She became a chief executive and moved on with her life.

    It’s the sad music. DAMN! I couldn’t stop crying! That’s why I can’t stand to watch romance or get involved in a real relationship. It’s going to be SAD! Waah!

  • 20090711-Suprise Visitors

    At 1142AM, two parishioners (Mercedes and Celedonio) were walking by, decided to pay a visit and gave one, home-made banana nut bread. They’re STILL talking to Maw,

  • 20090711-Three Bags

    At approximately 1020AM (per Paw around 1030AM), Maw answered the front door. She had to excuse herself from talking on the phone with Nati, a long time friend since 1976.

    Maw reported seeing a very GOOD but old, gray-haired man, who was decently dressed in a white jacket and cream-colored pants.

    He held – with both his hands and toward his left hip area – a basket (the size of a hospital container for sponge bath).

    The basket contained three, small brown-colored paper bags, which held fifty-four (54) apricots. Each bag cost $1.00 each.

    My photos showing three paper bags labled Sunny Select - 100 % Satisfaction Guaranteed.

    At first, Maw refused. He said it was okay and started to leave. But seeing how old this person appears and feeling sorry for him, she told him to come back and bought all three bags from off the guy; so he would not have to walk around from door to door.

    My photos showing 54 apricots with Maw's hands in the way.

    Eleven of the softer apricots were separated into a white bowl; while the rest were being dried in a metal bowl. I added more soft ones later on for eating, bringing the total to fourteen.

    This is the second time a stranger has come over to share their fruits in exchange for dollars. I say these are blessings in disguise. I told Paw earlier (when I inquired about the time of this particular event) that perhaps he is not an old man. I especially emphasis to Maw that she was nice enough not to refuse offerings especially when someone pays a surprise visit.

    This `visitor` came as an old man with fruits. I say he is more than an old man. But once again my messages fall on deaf ears. She continued to smile while telling her story of how nicely dressed this old man was to her. I thought to myself: `She passed her test of kindness` once again.

  • 20090711-Wash Me

    After shopping at SeaFood City for grocery and en route from McKee Rd. to the 680 interchange, Paw and I saw what appears to be an dusty image of an standing entity looking downward to the left. Its left hand is facing palm out towards the viewer. Another palm print in located toward the bottom right of the photo.

  • 20090709-Three Dots

    While eating breakfast at McDonalds with three Filipino couples, I was putting creamer in my regular coffee @ $0.69. And three milk dots were formed on the table. I showed Paw and he said it’s the Holy Trinity and made the sign of the cross ever so slightly. Maw saw briefly and smiled while chatting away with the parishioners, who didn’t even care to notice this small sign.

  • 20090710-Secret Surveillance

    [Flynn’s Editorial: I suspect two Yahoo! Messenger users [`J@ck B!ll*` from Florida and `b*ss@sss!n`] fall under this  part of the `President’s Surveillance Program`. And this activity goes beyond the warrantless wiretapping and only a few `victims` are not disclosed as part of this program to the public for closer scrutiny.]

    Report: Bush surveillance program was massive
    By PAMELA HESS, Associated Press Writer Pamela Hess, Associated Press Writer – 39 mins ago

    Snippet from external source: (visit the link for the full article)

    WASHINGTON – The Bush administration built an unprecedented surveillance operation to pull in mountains of information far beyond the warrantless wiretapping previously acknowledged, a team of federal inspectors general reported Friday, questioning the legal basis for the effort but shielding almost all details on grounds they’re still too secret to reveal.

  • 20090707-Noticing Numbers

    At 1833PM on 7/5/09, I saw the number `57` per photo below:

  • 20090704-Banana Day

    Happy Dependence Day!

    Instead of celebrating the 4th of July (formerly known as Independence Day) with all the fanfare of fireworks display, I’d like to dedicate two downloaded copies from YouTube.com to monkeys and people alike.

    Both videos show bananas, which monkeys (like people) love to eat to almost anything that flies, crawls, swims, slither and walks and will do anything for bananas (especially if handed-out freely by the government) or else fling poo (among other nasty things via pen or sword for those with opposable thumbs)!

    Here are two YouTube videos about bananas:

    Been tweaking my weblog site and restored the widgets to the bottom-bar. Added a whale image for fun to even out the look of the two bars below. Never satisfied!

  • 20090703-Reverse Discrimination

    Matthew 19 – American Standard Bible

    Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

    Michael Jackson was on to something. After watching a segment on MSNBC: `Living with Michael Jackson` last night, I’ve come to realize how bigoted his own BLACK race are towards others –  that is the human race – of lighter skin tone.

    Michael mentioned how white people getting a suntan and how looking darker have been a multi-billion dollar industry. His point is that none considered making a darker skin individual into a lighter tone, which would be profitable, too.

    In the Philippines, soaps are sold and people use those for making their skins paler than their darker counterpart. In Nigeria, blacker skinned women are lightening their skins to get into good jobs because being darker provides LESS opportunities.

    I wonder why BLACK PEOPLE don’t understand what is being placed in front of them: through Barack Obama, Michael Jackson and other advocates of loving each other for who they are — on the inside, their heart(s), and not so much as on the color of their skin!

    I don’t think Michael has died. His spirit will live on through his messages like so many others before him. The destruction of this sensitive soul began not only with the abuse of from and by his father Joe Jackson (who has BLUE eyes) but has been exacerbated much by the sensationalistic media, who should have portrayed Michael Jackson in a better light in his latter years.

    Anyway, I expect ALL people of different skin colors to get along and to behave better than ANIMALS for those of mixed blood. I expect any comedian to stop joking around and hurting other people because their skin tone is not popular or remind BLACK folks of their past. Get over it!

    Please behold the photo showing two Labrador retriever puppies. One is lighter. The other one is darker.

    Two labrador retriever puppies. Cute!

    These two puppies are both of the SAME RACE: canine. Yet both are siblings – brother and/or sisters – and cute too. Humans can learn from nature.
