Losing my temper when I'm provoked.

If there is one area in my life that I really need to work on, it would have to be my temper. My patience is being put to the test almost everyday. I have a short fuze for people who constantly nag me about things that are way beyond my control. Just a few minutes ago, I lost. I gave in to anger and I wish it didn't have to happen.

In moments like these I just feel like I want to run to a secluded place and scream to the top of my lungs instead of losing my cool in front of someone. I don't claim to be a person who has mastered my emotions yet, often times, I mange to calm my self but other times it's different. Sometimes, I am like a plastic bottle that breaks when squeezed hard.

It is human nature to sin when we are angry and I am no different. I wish that I can be angry and not sin and say things that I will regret later. I have to admit that once I give in to anger, I find it difficult to pray immediately. I don't like getting provoked to the point of rage and lose control. Lord I ask for your forgiveness for giving in to sin. Bring my joy back and be at peace. I lost it my Jesus. Give me the strength that I need to overcome the rage inside me.

Another act of violence against innocent people.

This afternoon a bus exploded along Edsa and Buendia Avenue killing a few and injuring others. Investigators said that there was an explosive device that was found in the remains of the bus. As I heard the news earlier, I was left thinking who and why would someone do such a violent act like this. I was also wondering if there are anyone there on that bus that I know.


I'm just glad that there were not many fatalities but I'm also sad that this these few people who have died didn't know what was coming. They are victims of murderous people who doesn't have any conscience whatsoever. Who were this people and how many lives have they orphaned? Such a terrible act may get away but they will be held accountable to God for their actions. Vengeance is the Lord's and he will be the one to repay.

The New TIN ID Card

I got my Tax Identification Number ID Card today from the Bureau of Internal Revenue and I was surprised that the card wasn't what I expected. The card was just made out of simple brown cardboard. No lamination whatsoever. No wonder my photo wasn't taken when I requested for my id card. They said that I have to provide my own photo and have the card laminated.

Some friends told me that my TIN Card is an old one and that I should request for the new digitized version. But what I got today was the same as the one that I had. This got me confused so I had to ask the clerk if this is the new one and she said yes. The digitized ID was an old one according to her and that the one that I got is the new one. I guess I will just have to take her word for it. The card that I was expecting was kinda like the SSS card which is similar to a drivers license but I guess I was wrong.

A Cool language Translation Site.

I was looking for a free software or website that would translate full sentences into Japanese or Korean and I found this really cool website which can translate into other languages as well. http://www.systranet.com

The nice things about this site is it can translate full sentences, not just words or phrases. It can translate from English to languages like Italian, spanish, Chinese, portugese, russian etc. It can also translate from those languages to English.

I've only used this a few times and there is one flaw that I already noticed. Every time I would translate phrases from other languages to English, the translation has very poor grammar and doesn't make sense at times but after careful thinking, I would understand what it is saying.

Try it for yourself and let me know what you think


Spanish
Buscaba un software libre o el Web site que traduciría frases completas al japonés o el coreano y yo encontraron este Web site realmente fresco que puede traducir a otras idiomas también. http://www.systranet.com

Las cosas agradables sobre este sitio son él pueden traducir frases, no apenas palabras o frases completas. Puede traducir de inglés a las idiomas como el etc. italiano, español, chino, portugese, ruso. Puede también traducir de esas idiomas al inglés.

He utilizado solamente esto algunas veces y hay un defecto que noté ya. Cada vez que traduciría frases de otras idiomas al inglés, la traducción tiene gramática muy pobre y no tiene sentido a veces pero después de pensar cuidadoso, entendería lo que está diciendo.

Inténtelo para sí mismo y déjeme conocer lo que usted piensa.


Japanese

Ich suchte nach einer freien Software, oder Website, die volle Sätze ins japanisches übersetzen würde oder Koreaner und ich fanden diese wirklich kühle Website, die in andere Sprachen auch übersetzen kann. http://www.systranet.com

Die netten Sachen über diesen Standort ist es können volle Sätze, nicht gerade Wörter oder Phrasen übersetzen. Es kann von Englisch zu Sprachen wie italienisches, spanisches, chinesisches, portugese, russisches etc. übersetzen. Es kann von jenen Sprachen zu Englisch auch übersetzen.

Ich habe nur dieses einige Male verwendet und es gibt einen Fehler, den ich bereits bemerkte. Jedes Mal wenn ich Phrasen von anderen Sprachen zu Englisch übersetzen würde, hat die Übersetzung sehr schlechte Grammatik und ist nicht sinnvoll manchmal, aber nach dem vorsichtigen Denken, würde ich verstehen, was es sagt.

Versuchen Sie es für selbst und informieren Sie mich, was Sie denken.
