AIDS awareness
Ok guys
...if you have a profile in any of those gay hook-up sites
...I urge you to take this AIDS ribbon pic and put it up as your main picture
...for the ENTIRE month of December, starting December 1
...if you want to show everyone that you are concerned with your health
Or if you have a blog
...make a post that says the same thing I just did here
I urge you all to do it, please.

Spare some change?
"Ako ang simula ng pagbabago."
This is a powerful statement that every Filipino should adopt as their personal mantra
It's English translation is:
...I AM THE BEGINNING OF CHANGE
I AM >>> WE ARE
...Filipinos need to learn how to be individuals
...instead of being part of a group all the time
BEGINNING >>> PLANNING
...beginning something is better than planning something
...you can plan and plan and plan, but if you don't begin, your plans are worth nothing
CHANGE >>> CONSTANT
...being able to change is better than being able to stay constant
...it doesn't matter if change comes fast or slow, just do it
...out with the old, in with the new
...if you don't change, you fall behind
I AM THE BEGINNING OF CHANGE >>> WE ARE PLANNING CONSTANTLY
Be the change you want to be in this world.

Suck ups...
Do not mistrust friendly gestures, but notice them.
Register any change in the emotional temperature:
...unusual chumminess
...a new desire to exchange confidences
...excessive praise of you to third parties
...the desire for an alliance that may make more sense for the other person than for you
Trust your instincts: if someone's behavior is suspicious, it probably is.
It may turn out to be benign
...but in the meantime it is best to be on your guard

Judge people based on their actions
What people say about themselves don't matter
...people will say anything
Look at what they have done
...deeds do not lie
