The greatest love of all

The greatest love of all

In a song originally recorded by George Benson in 1977 and popularized by Whitney Houston, it says that “learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all.” True indeed, nobody, even your (in)significant other can’t love you more than yourself. So, as the year comes to an end, take time to commune with nature, talk to the Universe in silence, listen to your heart, clear your mind of the evil thoughts that enter it once in a while because it will hinder the good vibes much needed by your body and soul.

The first step I thought of to achieve “the greatest love” is avoiding toxic people. They are the kind of people who hate you because you bruise their ego by letting them know how insensitive they are. They hate you because you discover something malevolent about them or their next of kin and they want you to just keep silent.  Haters gonna hate no matter what you do, no matter what you say so just leave them at that.  You have no obligation to please them! 

In a recorded Homily by Fr. Jowel Jomarsus Gatus which I accidentally chance upon on FB, he said “Stop pleasing your haters” to which I absolutely agree.  What he said is in consonance with my belief that we need to stay with people who love us for what we are and not for what they want us to be. Remember that each one of us is unique and we are not obliged to change ourselves to please other people, especially haters.

The next step is to take what is rightfully yours – happiness, peace of mind, progress and growth.  Do not allow anybody to dictate upon you what to do with your life. If you feel like singing, sing.  If you feel like dancing, dance. If you want to go places and you can afford it, do it. As long as you do not hurt other people, do what makes you happy. If someone is causing you pain – physical, mental and emotional, let them out of your system for good and move on with your life. There is so much in store waiting to be discovered and be enjoyed.

Just lately, I had the opportunity to be a youngster again.  I went horseback riding with my grandchildren and it was fun.  Then I realized that I can still do it and that my age is nothing but a number. Next time I’ll join them in walking around Sampaloc Lake, the distance of which is just a little more than three kilometers. Catching early morning sunlight and breathing fresh air far from the smog of the metropolis is not only good for the health but a good chunk of loving yourself.  

So, if you are down and troubled and you are neglecting yourself, wake up!  Regain yourself.  Remove the clouds in your vision so that you may see the beauty of the light.  Do your nails and your hair. Use your favorite perfume.  Listen to your desired music. Laugh with your friends and on top of it all, tune in to the great power of the Universe and thank God that you are still alive.

Spider-Man: No Way Home

Movie review

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is one of the biggest success stories in cinematic history. Taking the idea of connecting each movie into a single story was a huge risk but they pulled it off masterfully.  Each individual movie they released turned out to be big events – the last one being “Avengers: End Game”.  This was the ultimate culmination of years’ worth of MCU movies coming to a conclusion. 

Ever since “End Game”, the interest for the MCU has dwindled a bit. Yet, MCU still makes entertaining movies from time to time like “Shang-Chi” which was enjoyable.  They have also dabbled in various TV series such as WandaVision, Loki, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Hawkeye.  Hawkeye has delved into the death of Black Widow, Natasha Romanoff, but none of the other series or movies rekindled what happened in the End Game until “Spider-Man: No Way Home.”

Spider-Man: No Way Home feels like an event movie.  There was so much hype revolving around the movie and I can gladly say that the hype was worth it. I have watched the movie twice now and it is a great movie overall.  It is one of the strongest MCU movies to date and probably one of the best Spider-Man movies as well. The movie starts where we left off in the post credits of Spider-Man: Far From Home where everyone in the world knows that Peter Parker is Spider-Man.  This caused a lot of issues for both Peter Parker and his friends, MJ and Ned. It even affected their chances to attend the prestigious MIT due to the controversy that revolved around Spider-Man killing off Mysterio in the previous movie.

Now Peter Parker got this idea to ask the Master of the Mystic Arts, Dr. Strange, to help him with his predicament by asking the Master to conjure a spell to erase everyone’s memory that Peter Parker was Spider-Man.  This was going to be a literal memory wipe scenario that even all of his loved ones will not remember him and everyone that he has teamed up with will also forget who Peter Parker is. This scenario distressed Peter greatly to a point where he botched Dr. Strange’s spell which initially seemed harmless but turned out to be what the magic of the movie was all about.

The magic of Spider-Man: No Way Home comes from the reveal that the villains from the previous Spider-Man movies such as Doc Ock, Green Goblin, Electro, Sand-Man, and Lizard came back and the original actors reprised their roles for this movie to face off against the MCU’s Spider-Man. Just seeing Alfred Molina and Willem Dafoe reprise their roles as Doc Ock and Green Goblin, respectively, just oozed with nostalgia.  It made me remember my childhood seeing these fantastic actors masterfully bring these villains to life on the big screen. They also shine in the movie and stayed true to their interpretation of the villain.

No Way Home is one of the darker movies in the MCU.  There were dark scenes that you don’t usually see in an MCU film that were not sprinkled with humor unlike in prior Spidey movies.  But there were also some usual scenes that were tinted with humor.  There was a scene where a joke almost destroyed the mood, but thankfully this was only in the first act of the movie.

The second and third acts of the movie are the highlights of the film.  It is jam packed with action, emotions, and some of the best scenes in the MCU that I have ever seen.  To keep this review spoiler-free, let’s just say when I was watching the movie the first time, there was a particular scene where there were cheers and jeers from the movie goers, but there was also a standing ovation when that same scene happened.

This movie is also one of the longer MCU movies, clocking in at 2.5 hours.  It was also one of the quickest 2.5 hours I have ever experienced. It felt like 30 minutes just passed and I was glued to the screen the entire time waiting for each scene to happen. Also, a tip for those who are planning to watch the movie, I recommend getting a small drink with your food and going to the restroom first as you do not want to miss out on every single scene of this movie. Make sure that you stay and watch the Post Credit scenes.  There are two of them: A Mid Credit one and a Post Credit one. Both scenes are exciting.

I highly recommend this movie especially if you are a fan of the MCU and a long-time fan of Spider-Man. Despite the slightly slow first act, the rest of the movie was just a blast to watch.  It certainly is not an ordinary MCU movie. This is a big event for cinema.  It is an ultimate treat.

Paano magsimula ng isang “home-based” na negosyo: Pros and cons

Paano magsimula ng isang “home-based” na negosyo: Pros and cons

Ang home-based na negosyo ay isang pakikipagsapalaran – full time man o bilang side hustle lang na maaari mong simulan at patakbuhin gamit ang iyong sariling tahanan bilang iyong base ng mga operasyon. Ang ilang negosyong nasa bahay, lalo na ang mga nagbebenta online at hindi bumibili at walang maraming imbentaryo, ay maaari pa ngang patakbuhin on the go, nang hindi na kailangang pumunta sa iyong bahay.

Natural, may mga pros at cons na dapat isaalang-alang kapag nagpapasya kung ang isang home-based na negosyo ay tama para sa iyo.

Pros:

  • Ang isang negosyong may mababang kapital ay may mas maliit na mga gastos sa overhead (tulad ng mga bayarin sa warehousing), kasama ang mga potensyal na bawas sa buwis na maaari mong i-claim.
  • Ang opsyon na magbenta ng mga produkto o serbisyo sa lokal o internasyonal.
  • Flexible work-life balance, na maganda kung, halimbawa, isa kang stay-at-home parent o retiree.
  • Maaari kang lumikha ng isang negosyo ng pamilya kung saan ang iyong mga anak ay maaaring mag aral ng pagnenegosyo.

Cons:

  • Maaaring kailanganin mong mag-convert ng space sa iyong bahay upang suportahan ang mga pangangailangan ng iyong negosyo (halimbawa ay paghawak ng imbentaryo, pagbubukas ng opisina sa bahay, o pag-iimbak ng kagamitan). Ang challenge ay magawa mo ito nang hindi nakakagambala sa iyong buhay sa bahay.
  • Kailangan mo pa ring sumunod sa lahat ng regulasyon na ma kaugnayan sa negosyong gusto mong simulan maaaring kailanganin mong magrenta ng komersyal na kusina kung plano mong magbenta ng mga produktong pagkain o lisensya/permit para mag-imbentaryo).
  • Maaaring lumaki ang iyong negosyo sa iyong bahay at kailanganin mong magrenta ng karagdagang espasyo at kumuha ng mga empleyado.
  • Ang pagtatrabaho sa bahay ay nagbibigay sa iyo ng maraming kalayaan, ngunit maaari rin itong maging malungkot. Maaaring mahirap ito kung ikaw ay isang outgoing na tao.

Kapag nagsimula ka ng magtrabaho sa bahay, kailangan ay masanay ka rin sa bago mong schedule. Kailangan ay may workspace, planuhin ang iyong araw, limitahan ang paggamit ng telepono at social media at mag refresh ng communications kills, mag set ka rin ng oras ng opisina para sa iyong sarili. Good luck!

Konting kembot na lang, kabayan

Inaasahang bago matapos ang buwan ng December, 2021, ay maaabot ng San Pablo City ang hangad na herd Immunity o population protection against Covid-19.

Sa huling ulat ay ang lungsod na ito pa rin ang nangunguna sa dami ng mga fully vaccinated at bahagyang naungusan ang Lungsod ng Cabuyao.

Lubos ang nagiging kagalakan dahil sa karangalang ito. Sa kabila ng katotohanan na ang ciudad natin ang may pinakamaliit ang taunang pondo kumpara sa ibang lungsod sa lalawigan ay tayo pa rin ang nangunguna mass vaccination program.

Subalit hindi nararapat lubusang magsaya sapagkat mahaba pa ang laban upang makamit ang ganap na tagumpay. Nasa tabi-tabi pa rin sina Alpha, Beta at Delta at inaasahan ang posibleng pagpasok ni Omicron sa ating lungsod.

Kaya’t patuloy ang panawagan ng lokal na pamahalaan na ang natitirang unvaccinated na San Pableños ay magtungo na sa mga vaccination sites upang maging protektado rin sa banta ng Covid-19.

Ang tanging ipinapangako ng Covid Vaccines ay hindi magiging malubha ang kalagayan ng ating kalusugan kung sakaling madapuan ng virus. Hindi magiging severe and critical at hindi kailangang ma ospital.

Pangunahin kaparaanan upang makaligtas ay ang laging pagsusuot ng face mask at face shield lalut nasa mga kulong na at hindi lampasan ang sirkulasyon ng hangin; pag iwas sa umpukan ng mga tao; physical/ social distancing; malimit na paghuhugas at pag aalkohol ng mga kamay; pagpapalakas ng immune system at pananatili sa tahanan kung walang masyadong halaga ang gagawing paglabas at paglalakbay.

Kaunting kembot na lang mga kababayan at hindi lamang ang kapaskuhan ang magiging masaya mandi”y pati ang papasok na Bagong Taon.

NTF exec: Bakuna ang nananatiling pinakamahusay na proteksyon laban sa Omicron

Ang pagbabakuna pa rin laban sa sakit na coronavirus 2019 (Covid-19) ang nananatiling pinakamahusay na proteksyon laban sa variant na Omicron, ayon sa mga adviser ng National Task Force (NTF) against Covid-19 noong Lunes ng gabi.

“We hope that people will continue to get their booster doses and protection. The DOH (Department of Health) detected the third Omicron variant case. Our best protection is more vaccination,” ayon kay Dr. Teodoro Herbosa sa isang panayam noong dumating sa bansa ang 976,950 doses ng Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine.

Sinabi ni Herbosa na nagsisikap ang gobyerno na maabot ang target na ganap na mabakunahan ang 54 milyong Pilipino bago matapos ang taon.

Nagpahayag din siya ng pag-asa na ang mga rehiyong sinalanta ng Bagyong Odette ay makakahabol sa kanilang mga aktibidad sa pagbabakuna.

Ngayon Disyembre 19, ang Pilipinas ay nakapagbigay na ng 100,907,667 doses ng mga bakuna. Mahigit 43.5 milyon na ang ganap na na-inoculate, habang 1,113,377 shots ang nabigyan na ng booster doses.

Agri chief: Naglaan ang DA ng mahigit P400 milyon para makatulong sa pagbangon ng Central Visayas

Mahigit na 400 milyong piso ang available na pondo ang Department of Agriculture (DA) na na maaaring ilabas para mapahusay ang rehabilitasyon at pagbawi ng sektor ng agrikultura sa Central Visayas, ayon kay Agriculture Secretary William Dar kay Pangulong Rodrigo Roa Duterte nitong Linggo.

Samantala, double time ang ginagawa ng Department of Energy (DOE) para maibalik ang enerhiya sa lalawigan ng Cebu, ayon sa report ni Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi kay Pangulong Duterte.

“The restoration is slow because we have a problem with the transmission. We don’t have a problem with the generation of the power plants,” Cusi said. Our problem really is how to transmit energy to the distribution utilities and our distribution lines,” dagdag pa ni Cusi.

Ayon sa energy chief, magpapadala ang Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) ng mahigit 150 tauhan kabilang ang kanilang mga kagamitan tulad ng mga boom truck para tulungan ang Cebu na maibalik ang suplay ng kuryente.

Iniulat ni Cusi na sa ngayon, naibalik ang suplay ng kuryente sa ilang lugar sa Cebu City. Kabilang sa mga inuna ay ang mga ospital, water utilities, mga tanggapan ng gobyerno, at ilang mga negosyo.

Sa isang panayam kasunod ng pagdating ng mga bakuna, sinabi ni NTF medical consultant Dr. Ma. Paz Corrales na ipinagpaliban ng ilang rehiyon ang National Vaccination Days dahil sa Bagyong Odette.

“Merong mga Rehiyon na magsisimula sa December 20, 21, and 22 because not only should we ensure the safety and security of the vaccines, but also the security of our health workers. That’s why we have postponed and have different national vaccination days [for] the regions affected by the typhoon,” ayon kay Corales.

Noong Disyembre 16, ang pamahalaan ay nakapagbigay ng kabuuang 100,019,137 na dosis ng bakuna laban sa COVID-19 sa buong bansa.
