Morality and The Dogs


I feel like I have to say something, with all the rampant issues in the society today. It seems that the world wide web has given people a louder voice, and an unbelievably huge amount of courage to say what's on their mind about anything and everything.

I know there was this issue about a comedian making a joke about very delicate social issues, and there have been pretty severe blows from both sides, celebrities and non celebrities, about the matter. What saddens me recently (in fact, just this morning), is a statement that a friend of mine retweeted. which is something like, " If you get offended by comedy, it just shows what kind of person you are."

Excuse me?

I think its time I put a premium on morality, and beliefs. Most of the times I just stay silent on such issues, but as of late I have been pretty much bothered by how things contradictory to my beliefs have been so blatant and outspoken, and yet I sit here keeping my mouth shut. I feel like I letting them think that they are completely right and I'm the one who should be thinking otherwise.

I don't believe that morality is lost in this day and age. I believe its because it has become the road less traveled,  that people are more driven by their impulses and desires, and today's technology encourages that-instant gratification. But I also know that there is a big possibility it will get run over, if someone doesn't speak up and gives morality hope.

It all begins with the fear of the Lord.

Everytime you open your mouth, send a tweet, write a status, or post in your blog, think about what God will say. I am not perfect, I do make mistakes and sometimes cave into "papatulan kita". Its reflex human reaction. So is selfishness. Our role as Christians is to glorify God, not ourselves. Every action, every turn should be as He pleases. That is the very least  we can do.

I think its time to speak up, but more importantly, it's time to act out what beliefs we stand for. If the world is loud, then we Christians should fight back harder.

Please dont let morality go to the dogs.

Honor

There are things you do with great honor. Like fighting for your country. Serving the poor. Dying a martyr. But those are huge things. There are small stuff that makes you swell with pride. Here's a few of mine 1. Treating patients and they get better 2. Taking care of my child  3. Studying my a** off A few weeks ago, I was part of the entourage for two of our dearest friends, Wendy and Gj. We have witnessed most of their journey together as friends ( when they were so thick skinned and they didnt know how perfect they were for each other- seriously, its like you want to slap them again, and again until they break out their trance haha). But like everything in life, its all in God's perfect time, and sure enough that fateful day of Nov, 23, 2013, God let them have their happy ever after. I did forget to mention one small detail: their wedding was the day before my diplomate board exams. Crap, do i hate oral exams, given the fact that I almost failed my revalida during med schoo

Hello! Welcome to my new home!

Image Source:  http://www.motherhoodthetruth.com/mommy-bloggers-of-the-world-unite/ If you think blogging is as easy as writing in paper, obviously you're not from this universe. Blogging takes a huge amount of time, especially when it comes to post processing pictures, putting in links, etc. I'm currently in a bind, because although I've been writing for some time under the Wordpress site, they have restrictions with ads and have a limited space for media. I tried compensating for this by using other sources like Flickr and creating a Tumblr space, but you see its so time consuming, and still very restricted. What finally pushed me to consider blogspot is when I was recently sponsored for a giveaway, which required a banner link and comments in the blog site. I have the banner link in my Tumblr but my readers are unfortunately unable to comment from there. I got to thinking, I'm just actively blogging for less than a year, so if I'm going to make a move,

There's a giveaway party going on in Tumblr!!!

Join me as I celebrate my first giveaway! Eight days to go! Oasap is giving away  special stuff for May! Head over to my Tumblr account for more details. Have a nice day! TBBMD
