'haters dont really hate you they hate themselves cause you're a reflection of what they wish to be.

''" Smells like shawarma :p hehe. Just couldn't help myself :p I hate not being able to chew :( this impacted molar is such a pain in the ... (gums) :'( To keep on hating, your life shortens. To make things difficult for others, it's still your burden. If you won't change, fate will pay. Three things that shouldnt be broken; friendships, hearts and promises We are not consumers we are creators. Oops! I almost forgot! I received some good news about a very exciting project I'm working on for my blog. Pray that it works out! ; I'll take note of your request. It just so happens that I have yet to put my StarBytes section to bed. Wahaha. ;) no, thank you for tweeting the link to my post again, Direk! Looking forward to working with you more often! Now I gotta bounce! I have a presscon for Tito Boy Abunda, then I want to swing by National Bookstore to buy Garage's new issue!
I'll most likely end up buying two copies of Garage's new issue, one with @sam_concepcion and another with@SuperElmo on the cover! I know Garage magazine is from a rival publishing company, but I feel I have to give credit where it's due, and Garage has strong content. Besides, I gotta support my friends! Haha!

During our lunch meeting I was given lots of things to do, including a shoot on Monday. I love having lots of assignments. Hehe. Last night i was pretty down in the dumps, but I feel so much better today. I guess things do look better after a good night's sleep. I'm going to be crazy busy tonight and for a few more days besides. Lots to do for the blog and the magazine. I need prayers, guys!

I can't remember what they were doing in this photo. I think someone made a joke and Kath cracked up.
Wrote a press release and finished editing my Oka2kat blog post earlier. Now treating myself to the new episode of Ringer. Hehe.

Will you be on that show today? I'm in class so I can't watch, but break a leg anyway, man! Woo hoo haha. Hi from Math 1 class. I'm finding it hard to focus. My thoughts keep straying to all the things I have to do for work! Hehe. I am so thrilled for all the things in store for us this year... It's a new year everyone! Dust yourself off and try again! ;) I absolutely love that song! Mom and I got your text and yes, we'll see you on the 3rd and 4th of February! Woo hoo! :) I got knocked down again, but my new mission statement for 2012 is "Don't dwell on the negative. Instead, find reasons to smile!" :) It was given to me by a friend. I think it depends on the capacity of the memory card you insert into your camera.
I don't get how people woke up one day and their feelings for someone is gone

A joyful heart need not ask happiness to feel how it is to be, for love surrounds easy. While a heart of hatred remains sad, finds it hard. I fear kjarma

Ampangit ko today. I wish I could crawl into a cave! I don't want the world to see me ('coz I don't think that they'd understand). OH WELL. No kaya! I just need to think of something to say... So I air a complaint. :p That's just an excuse to message you.
better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without.

I wish it were as easy as writing my emotions and my non-stop thoughts... Like what I do here on Twitter I will no longer answer media questions asking me to respond to personal attacks. It just raises my BP & I might suffer a stroke. I realize... I don't have that many friends. But I have a whole lot of family. <3 To the friend I miss the most]

Disappointed lang from what I'm hearing pero still hoping na di totoo. :) Hoping for truth to come out soon. Hoping even more that the truth will tell me that I didn't make a mistake of trusting you like family.
Crying is right at hand in the smothering dark, closed inside someone else, when you see how everything you can ever accomplish will end up as trash I could not have done it alone, Adam. I have my true friends, supporters & family to thank. I really salute you for emerging stronger after the storm. Ur going public w/ d breakup has allowed you 2 move on gracefully! he made me believe that u can do anything even if ur not tall I look at everything in a different perspective.. I got knocked down again, but my new mission statement for 2012 is "Don't dwell on the negative. Instead, find reasons to smile!" :)

Lord, no matter what fears and circumstances may come into my life, show me how to live through it, and find my peace and salvation in You. For once, I'm gonna have to agree with you on that. Hahaha. Haven't had proper sleep in days! :\ Very disappointed with how this transpired. It's okay, because one day... One day. :) Just in case you guys haven't heard it yet! A preview of a song I wrote when I was younger, to be released soooon. ;) Writing music makes me feel close to God. Making something from absolutely nothing is His gift, not mine

Despite my own plans, I trust in yours. Your path is the best, your ways are highest, and you are faithful to your promises

Was just thinking about how pointless my life was before, and how much meaning God gave it. How awesome is He? His love is SO great!

"So think twice before you eat what society feeds us; come follow the King, his name is Jesus." Jeff Bethke If you can't make up your mind, remember that no amount of make-up can make your destiny. Meditate on the right things! I have so much reading material that I can't decide what to read next.

I don't mind being weak, because God's strength is made perfect in weakness. When I am strong, I know there's no other explanation but Him.

Forgiveness can really be a struggle sometimes, can't it God, please give me grace to overcome this. Please. I need your strength. :( Donita Rose reacts to rumor that she will no longer be part of the revamped Umagang Kay Ganda

When you know why you like someone, it's a crush. When you have no reason or explanation, it's love. <3
I love the medium of photography, for with its unique realism it gives me the power to go beyond conventional ways of seeing and understanding and say, "This is real, too."

So that I can tell them on how many to expect. sometimes youll never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills. ~ Lord Buddha Wewe

Ethics, also known as moral philosophy, is a branch of philosophy that involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong behavior.[1]

What is ethics all about?

Contents:
Ethics is a matter of practical concern Ethics is not the same as morality Making ethical decisions Ethics is about relationships Many discussions about ethics begin with a flourish only to grind to a halt as people encounter disagreement about the answer to a fairly fundamental question, What is ethics all about?. The disagreement flows from the fact that most people only have a partial understanding of the basic questions that are addressed in the field of ethics. The most commonly held views include a mixture of the following: Ethics is the same as morality Ethics is about rules for behaviour (soft laws if you like) Ethics is to do with theory (part of the useless species of things dreamed up in ivory towers)

While each view is severely limited, it is easy to see how it can be held as most people tend to see only part of the overall picture. Those wanting to capture the broader perspective may be best assisted by returning to what is regarded to be the founding question in ethics. Few will be surprised to learn that the basic question of ethics has an ancient pedigree. Indeed, it can be traced back to a Greek philosopher who lived and taught in Athens during the fifth century BC. Socrates asked:
"What ought one to do?"

Ethics is a matter of practical concern

It should be obvious that this is an immensely practical question which confronts all of us whenever we have a choice or decision to make. It is also a question that is extremely difficult to avoid. Indeed, the only sure way to escape this question is to be a creature of unthinking habit who goes about life doing things because everyone does it or because that's just the way we do things around here or because it seemed like a good idea at the time. This sort of unthinking custom and practice can be seen as being the enemy of an 'examined life'.

Ethics is not the same as morality

If ethics is about practical rather than purely theoretical matters, it should also be understood that it encompasses a general conversation about how people should live a good life. This helps to explain the difference between ethics and morality. The distinction can be demonstrated by using the analogy of a conversation. If one imagines that the field of ethics is a conversation which has arisen in order to answer the question, What ought one to do?, then moralities (and they are various) are the different voices in that conversation. Each voice belongs to a tradition or theory that offers a framework within which the question might be contemplated and answered. So in the conversation there can be a Christian voice, a Jewish voice, an

Islamic voice, Buddhist voice, Hindu voice, Confucian voice and so on. Each voice has something distinctive to say - although they may all share certain things in common. There are, in addition to the moralities that flow from the worlds religions, the voices that represent the various attempts to found moral systems on the thinking of secular philosophers and others - for example utilitarianism, humanism, feminism and many others.

Ethical decision-making
However, no ethical theory or morality (from the West) has found a way to answer Socrates question in a way that completely avoids the countless ethical dilemmas that seem to be a persistent feature of what might be called the ethical landscape. One simple example may suffice as an indication of the type of dilemma that might be encountered. Most people would agree (possibly for quite different reasons) that people ought to tell the truth. These same people will hold that one ought to avoid causing harm. But what happens when to tell the truth will cause another person harm? Each principle seems to be valid on its own account, but when put in combination with other values an irreconcilable tension may arise. This is not a trivial point. It reminds us that the ethical landscape is painted in shades of grey and not black and white. Sometimes we need to accept the limits to certainty when trying to decide how best to proceed. Sometimes our range of choice is reduced to picking the least bad alternative. Sometimes we may have nothing more than a well-informed conscience to guide us through the maze of ethical decision-making. Learn more about ethical decision-making, including some useful decision-making frameworks.

Ethics is about relationships

In all this discussion one crucial point has been left unsaid: that ethical considerations involve an essential social element. Whether one seeks to move from religious or secular conviction, or from a position in which one seeks to generate consequences in which pleasure is maximised and pain minimised, or from the point of view in which other persons are seen as being members of the kingdom of ends, the result is the same: a consideration of ethical questions involves a consideration of the quality and nature of relationships with other people.
