The Catholic and The Muslim

I was talking to a Catholic priest and a young Muslim man over lunch. When the waiter came by with a tray, we all helped ourselves, except the Muslim, who was keeping the annual fast prescribed by the Koran.

When lunch was over, and people were leaving, one of the guests couldn't resist saying:'You see how fanatic these Muslims are! I'm glad to see you Catholics aren't like them.'

'But we are,' said the priest. 'He is trying to serve God just as I am. We merely follow different laws.' And he concluded: 'It's a shame that people see only the differences that separate them. If you were to look with more love, you would mainly see what we have in common, then half the world's problems would be solved.'

The Moment of Dawn

During the World Economic Forum at Davos, the winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace, Shimon Peres, told the following story.

A Rabbi gathered together his students and asked them:
'How do we know the exact moment when night ends and day begins?'

'When it's light enough to tell a sheep from a dog,' said one boy.

Another student said: 'No, when it's light enough to tell an olive tree from a fig tree.'

'No, that's not a good definition either.'

'Well, what's the right answer?' asked the boys.

And the Rabbi said:
'When a stranger approaches, and we think he is our brother, and all conflicts disappear, that is the moment when night ends and day begins.'

they say it could possibly be an LPG that exploded.

it's so corny if it was only an LPG explosion and not a terrorist attack.

...

DLSU won.

i actually did not watch the game because my brother was watching and he is very annoying, he is so loud and he curses too much.

he wants UE to win because he studied there for a year.
i stayed at DLSU for a year so i wanted them to win.

the last time UE and DLSU faced each other before the finals..
i swear i wanted to punch his face because he was so loud.

i actually don't mind who wins as long as it's not Ateneo.
i like seeing them lose, especially when Sen. Dick Gordon is watching.. he is from Ateneo and all he does is make pa pogi on tv because he wants to be the next president.
now the first gentleman also is from Ateneo..
now that one..
he is evil.

traffic violence

there was this news yesterday were a guy and a girl were shot dead due to some traffic incident.

this guy driving a toyota counter flowed and then
this guy driving a nissan got out of his car and started cursing at him and challenging him..
when the other guy didn't get out of his car he called him gay..
and the guy still ignored him and tried to leave..
but this other guy just would not stop so he kicked the toyota guy's car..

the toyota guy then came back and opened fired at them.

he deserved to die! wouldn't you agree?

i know people would say he didn't have the right to kill just because you were cursed at and your car got kicked..

well.. that's bullshit.

he was an arrogant sunuvabitch and he deserved to die.
