KZ Tandingan - Wag Ka Ng Umiyak

“Wag Ka Nang Umiyak”

This has been a love song to most of us. It is even kakilig-kilig to hear hubby singing this song to me, loving him more. But, not this time... it has been more kakilig-kilig to know that God is actually singing this song for me while giving me the tightest hug ever. I am so overwhelmed to feel His presence. Thank YOU, papa GOD. You are the best! Your plans are better than ours. I have been tested but I have survived. GOD is with me. And I still have a family, good friends, great loved ones and relatives. With my powerful 3 F's: Faith, Family and Friends, I know I can always survive. Kudos!

Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments, seek God. Quiet moments, worship God. Painful moments, trust God. Every moment, thank God.

Wag ka nang umiyak, sa mundong pabago-bago

pag-ibig ko ay totoo

ako ang iyong bangka, kung magalit man

ang alon, ng panahon, sabay tayong aahon

[chorus]

Kung wala ka nang maintindihan

Kung wala ka nang makapitan

Kapit ka sa akin, kapit ka sa akin

Di kita bibitawan

Wag kang umiyak, mahaba man ang araw

uuwi ka sa yakap ko

wag mo nang damdamin kung wala ako sayong tabi

iiwan kong puso ko sa yo

at kung pakiramdam mo’y wala ka nang kakampi

isipin mo ako dahil puso’t isip ko’y

nasa yong tabi

[repeat chorus]

…di kita pababayaan

Kapit ka, kumapit ka

(para sa buhay ng buhay ko)

Pope Benedict XVI Resigned; Catholics: Shocked

Hubby and I just got home from work. And while we were preparing dinner and playing with our kiddo, we heard a breaking news from GMA 7, 24 oras. We were shocked to be informed that our dearest Pope resigns. God bless YOU more and always! We love you. We'll pray for you and your health.

My dear readers and fellow bloggers, I would like to confirm with regret that the resignation of His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI on February 28, 2013 is TRUE. Read the full text of the letter he published a while ago, the same text we heard from 24 Oras, breaking news (read by Mike Enriquez).

The Vatican said on Monday in a shock announcement that Pope Benedict XVI will resign his office from February 28.

Read on and see the latest news. Happy reading!

ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF POPE BENEDICT XVI's STATEMENT

Dear Brothers,

I have convoked you to this Consistory, not only for the three canonisations, but also to communicate to you a decision of great importance for the life of the Church. After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry. I am well aware that this ministry, due to its essential spiritual nature, must be carried out not only with words and deeds, but no less with prayer and suffering. 

Photo source: www.usccb.org

However, in today’s world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me. 

For this reason, and well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome, Successor of Saint Peter, entrusted to me by the Cardinals on 19 April 2005, in such a way, that as from 28 February 2013, at 20:00 hours, the See of Rome, the See of Saint Peter, will be vacant and a Conclave to elect the new Supreme Pontiff will have to be convoked by those whose competence it is.

Dear Brothers, I thank you most sincerely for all the love and work with which you have supported me in my ministry and I ask pardon for all my defects. And now, let us entrust the Holy Church to the care of Our Supreme Pastor, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and implore his holy Mother Mary, so that she may assist the Cardinal Fathers with her maternal solicitude, in electing a new Supreme Pontiff. With regard to myself, I wish to also devotedly serve the Holy Church of God in the future through a life dedicated to prayer.

From the Vatican, 10 February 2013

BENEDICTUS PP XVI

Pope Benedict XVI is to resign at the end of this month in an entirely unexpected development, saying he is too old continue at the age of 85.

He became Pope in 2005 following John Paul II's death.

Resignations from the papacy are not unknown, but this is the first in the modern era, which has been marked by pontiffs dying while in office.

At 78, the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was one of the oldest new popes in history when elected.

He took the helm as one of the fiercest storms the Catholic Church has faced in decades - the scandal of child sex abuse by priests - was breaking.

In a statement, he said: "After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry...

"In today's world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of Saint Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me."

Another news to read. 

The Vatican said on Monday in a shock announcement that Pope Benedict XVI will resign his office from February 28. The Italian news agency ANSA first reported the news, which it said was made in Latin during a ceremony in Rome.

The announcement will come as a surprise to millions of Catholics around the world. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger said that because of his advanced age and diminishing strength, he didn't feel he could carry on the job.

He became Pope in 2005 after the death of John Paul II. Pope Benedict XVI is 85 years old. He will be the first pontiff to resign in 600 years.

EFFECTS OF MAGNETIC FIELDS IN HUMAN BODY

If a person's blood becomes too thick it can damage blood vessels and increase the risk of heart attacks. But a Temple University physicist has discovered that the human blood can be thinned by subjecting it to a magnetic field. ~ Source: ScienceDaily June 7, 2011

Rongjia Tao, professor and chair of physics at Temple University, has pioneered the use of electric or magnetic fields to decrease the viscosity of oil in engines and pipelines. Now, he is using the same magnetic fields to thin human blood in the circulation system.

"By selecting a suitable magnetic field strength and pulse duration, we will be able to control the size of the aggregated red-cell chains, hence to control the blood's viscosity," said Tao. "This method of magneto-rheology provides an effective way to control the blood viscosity within a selected range."

After a lot of experiments and experiences it is discovered that many physical and chemical properties of body water changes when it is exposed to the influence of weak magnetic field. These changed properties, namely, its temperature, density, electrical conductivity, surface tension and viscosity exist for a long time. The blood is also a fluid hence it is also influenced by magnetic fields and its properties also undergo a change when it is brought in contact with magnets.

The blood consists of many inorganic salts and its important constituents and the properties of blood change under magnetic flux. This changed circulates through the whole body and provides beneficial influence on the entire body and relieves or prevents many ailments, thus affecting human metabolism.

Magnetic fields exist and do interact with the constituents of human tissues. All physical matter including ourselves consists of atoms and molecules, all moving about, some slow, some fast, depending on their molecular make-up. For instance, iron and nutrient rich blood cells are heavy and move slow, blood returning to be replenished moves fast. This constant movement in our bodies’ causes’ friction, this friction gives us heat in the form of body temperature. This movement that causes temperature also causes a magnetic energy field.

Affect of magnets on hormone secretion:

The joint effect of internal heat of the body and external heat caused by the magnet improves the function of internal secretion of hormones. The transmission of blood is done rapidly against this heat. The capillary vessels spreading all over like a net around hormone secretion tubes expand to a large extent and thus concentrates oxygen, which gradually supply hormone secretion into the tubes. By using the magnets continuously, various diseases caused by the lack of hormone secretion can be improved. The magnetic flux enters the tissues and works to regulate hormone secretion which preserves youth by providing energy and by normalizing the functions of the internal organs.

Affect of magnets on Pituitary Gland:

The Pituitary gland in human body is a ductless body located at the base of the brain, which always discharges hormone secretion. It helps in the body growth. The magnets can help the boys and girls to increase their height to some extent up to the age of 14-15 years in normal cases by increasing the secretion from this gland.

Affect of magnets on acceleration of Self-Curative powers:

The magnetic flux is a natural healing power and it revitalizes the self-healing property of the human body. The strong magnetic flux enters deeply into muscles, fatty tissues and bones and thus gives intense relief to the nerves. The use of magnet helps to improve even incurable diseases in a short period and increases self- curative powers.

Heart and Geomagnetic Activity

The link between the heart attacks and the geomagnetic activity is discovered by the scientists of the National Geophysics Research Institute, Hyderabad. The fluctuations in earth`s magnetic field are caused by solar flare and sunspot activity. These scientists also noticed that heart attack cases generally occurred during geomagnetic disturbances showing rapid fluctuations and pulsations. These pulsatory fields react with human heart or brain electrical potential and cause heart attacks or psychiatric disturbances in persons who are not otherwise in perfect shape and condition.
