LAKE LANAO; a journey home…

To get an unblemished view of this scenery; one need to be an early bird because by 9:00 in the morning: clouds would start to shroud the mountains. Even on a sunny afternoon; you get a better view of the lake and the villages that dots its forested coasts but not the summit that outlines the figure of the famous sleeping lady; a name amusingly given to it by the pioneering students of the Mindanao State University. This view of the lake is most probably the most photographed scenery in all of Mindanao that I will rank nationwide with Ta’al Volcano, Mayon Volcano and the Mines View Park. 

...and in the distance; lost among the trees is Marawi City

Trekking Makati’s Famous Footbridges…

I think Makati’s commercial district taken as one is the world’s biggest mall no other mall comes close to being second. Along the years with massive facelifts and expansions not to mention the sprouting of soaring skyscrapers; multiple malls fused into one: SM Makati, Rustans, Landmark, Glorieta 1-5 and Greenbelt 1-5 creating a sprawling city of 13 malls that is unequalled in size and engineering design. What makes it even more fascinatingly especial is the unique design of each mall compared to each others; it’s like walking through different worlds. I love to walk the stretches of the inside of the mall just for the heck but today; I trekked along its outside perimeters and took these photos. I did not have my Sony Cybershot but I had my old Nokia N95 and the photos came out okay.

Nishreen's Amazing Weekend...

As chaperon and cameraman; I can hardly match up with Nishreen’s vigour but since I can do this for her only once in every 2 years…I followed her around without complain. I feel indebted to her in a way that makes me feel real guilty; it is a small way to make up for my absence. In few weeks time; I will leave again but this weekend bonding with my angel of joy will sustain my loneliness in a far-far-away-land with the full knowledge that every time I come home…she would have grown up 2 years in a blink. She will be 11 years old next time I come home; hugging her would be awkward.

Nelson Mandela: What the west would rather not hear…

We mourn the passing of a true hero of the world. He is a man without iota of malice in his blood. He spoke the truth for truth’s sake above all the untruth of his political benefactors for he knew that he won the freedom of his people because it was right. In the end; the righteous will win no matter how long it takes forever notwithstanding. He spoke truths that deceptive leaders of the world would rather not hear and the Zionist’s owned mainstream media would rather not talk about. The following are some of his statement legacy that the west would rather not hear. 

http://rt.com/news/mandela-sharp-quotes-media-860/

“If there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America. They don’t care for human beings,” Mandela said.

“If you look at those matters, you will come to the conclusion that the attitude of the United States of America is a threat to world peace.”

“Israel should withdraw from all the areas which it won from the Arabs in 1967, and in particular Israel should withdraw completely from the Golan Heights, from south Lebanon and from the West Bank,”

“From its earliest days, the Cuban Revolution has also been a source of inspiration to all freedom-loving people. We admire the sacrifices of the Cuban people in maintaining their independence and sovereignty in the face of the vicious imperialist-orchestrated campaign to destroy the impressive gain made in the Cuban Revolution….Long live the Cuban Revolution. Long live comrade Fidel Castro.”

Mandela urged for the end to harsh UN sanctions imposed upon Libya in 1997 and pledged his support for Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, who was a longtime supporter of his.

“It is our duty to give support to the brother leader…especially in regards to the sanctions which are not hitting just him, they are hitting the ordinary masses of the people … our African brothers and sisters,” Mandela said.

“The UN took a strong stand against apartheid, and over the years, an international consensus was built, which helped to bring an end to this iniquitous system. But we know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.”

▶ STATE OF THE NATION: Team P-Noy vs Team Pacquiao

If super typhoon ‘Yolanda’ knocked down TEAM-P-Noy for their snail pace response to the storm’s aftermath; TEAM-Paquiao will knock them out. If you are looking for a fist fight; you must never choose a Super-Hero for an opponent especially at a time when the people’s champ has just lifted the Filipinos pride to dizzying heights. Manny should not pay a single cent of taxes to the government. Tatanga-tanga ang mga abogado ni Pacquiao. Manny is an “OFW” meaning he is not liable to pay taxes to the government in recognition of his sacrifices; suntok, bugbog, luha, dugo at pawis sa ibang bansa. He should sue the government for dishonesty and demand a refund of every single cent he paid in the form of taxes from earnings he made outside of the country. Mabuhay ang mga OFWs; Mabuhay ka Manny!

KNOW THE TRUTH: "PASAWAY" interview of the ARMM Governor...

Our initial response to the 20 billion pesos budget of ARMM is hmm; that is big money. Many of us think of the ARMM budget as earmarked for development and yet we see very little if at all any changes in ARMM. Actually; 20 billion is comparatively not much if we know what it is for. Since ARMM is supposedly autonomous; the 20 billion represent the entire budget of the government that includes the DPWH, DepED, MOH, LGU etc.  Must watch 27 minutes “Pasaway” interview of the ARMM governor and yea; Ignorance is no excuse for the crime of thought.

"WE ARE THE WORLD" Philippines...

This is absolutely brilliant. I don’t know who made this but whether it is the uploader ‘Kevin Ayson’ or not…I say thank you Kevin. It is real touching and if I remember correctly; the “We Are the World” video launched by the late Michael Jackson was made for another storm where thousands likewise died some years back. It was in Bangladesh if my memory serves me right; a poor Muslim country. The whole world mobilized in response to that catastrophe the same way that the world is now responding to the aftermath of super typhoon “Haiyan” in the Philippine.

Incredible Look At Mars

Dear Nosca,  

    

From the highest volcano to the deepest canyon, from impact craters to ancient river beds and lava flows, this showcase of images from the 

European Space Agency's Mars Express takes you on an unforgettable journey across the Red Planet.

Mars Express was launched on June 2, 2003 and arrived at Mars six-and-a-half months later. It has since orbited the planet nearly 12,500 times, providing scientists with unprecedented images and data collected by its suite of scientific instruments.

The data have been used to create an almost global digital topographic model of the surface, providing a unique visualization and enabling researchers to acquire new and surprising information about the evolution of the Red Planet. (4 minutes)

GLOBAL CITY: SM Aura...

With cramped up spaces in the cities; I always wonder why malls don’t convert their rooftops into parks where shoppers can relax and sip drinks or take their coffees and with technology turning everyone into a camera bearing robots; you can expect most if not all to make a trip to the viewing deck for a photo shoot. Not only will it increase a mall’s income; it will invite more shoppers than a multi-million peso worth of TV or billboards commercials ever do. When I earth-Google SM Aura (Global City); the first thing I observed was the roof-deck that look like a park just as I have envisioned in my mind. Hmm! I was right…these are some photos I took of Nishreen at the garden top of SM Aura. It is certainly a new trend in malls although I was told that Singapore did it first that is if she didn't copy it from somewhere else.

TIME TO RELAX

DISASTER NATION BATTERED BY MEGA TYPHOON…!

Before refugees can troop back to their homes shattered by bullets in a long week battle against secessionist in Zamboanga; before the people of Bohol can go back to rebuild their homes wrecked by a 7.2 earthquake and before anyone can be tried for the multi-billion pork-barrel scam comes the mega typhoon considered the strongest not only for year 2013 but the strongest ever to hit anywhere on the planet and it chose the Philippines. No wonder author Dan Brown called Manila; capital of a God forsaken country the “Gate of Hell.”

P-Noy: the real issue here is “thievery”…PAGNANAKAW!

The president does not only deserve the benefit of the doubt; there should be no doubt that he is trying his best. His best may not be enough but who does in this time and age where earth is turned into a monster-ball for the scammers of planet earth. For good to survive not necessarily to win is already a victory for the forces of good and to quote Abad in one interview; “Kami pa (ni P-Noy) ang na-plunder” referring to the plunder case filed against the president and his men at the ombudsman. Damn if you do; damn if you don’t. Listen to what the president has to say…11 minutes.

LANAO GHOSTS MUNICIPAL HALLS: The Reporter’s Notebook

Lanao del Sur in the 2013 statistics tops the country’s poorest province and although it is 2013; it is always in the top 10 as far back as I can remember. I will not say that the content of this documentary is the cause; it is just one of the many. If the GMA’s team has come on a payday; I am sure that the Municipal Halls would have been full of people. The team had visited adjacent municipalities meaning if they have gone even further; they would have found probably more something like…it is the trend. No wonder…we are at the top. We are number one!

AWESOME! wakeskating Philippine's 8th wonder of the world

When I first saw a picture of this; I thought of it as a perfect Photoshop in fact I considered it real artistic until I saw it on the news. I said; “wow, it’s real ingenious to even think and then acted on it.” There are those however who didn’t see it as fun but c’mon; there is no damage done and it’s really good. I wonder how many times they have to do it to get the perfect shot the way it is. It’s more fun in the Philippines. (1minute)

▶ Did Jesus Die On The Cross (BBC 4 Documentary)

This will be a better alternative if you plan to watch a movie on your cable or in the theater. The knowledge you gain becomes a part of you, something like riding a bike that you don’t unlearn, not to mention that some knowledge learned is intellectually exciting, especially in this age and time where you virtually travel in different places and times. If you are a Christian, this documentary movie will not make you less of a Christian than you already are. In fact, you can rest in the comfort of knowing that many churches no longer oblige their flocks to believe in the resurrection. Interestingly, by the way, the background for the re-enactment of the crucifixion was the Philippines’s (Pampangga) holy week re-enactment, where real people are nailed to the cross with real nails.

IS EARTH UNDER REAL THREAT of comet hit…? (2 minutes)

Some kind of scary: after the coming of the BEAST 666 in 1990 and the New Jerusalem in 1994 not to mention the Muslim Dajjal in 2001; I have come to believe that “the end” could be at any moment but earth seems to be okay until I got this on my E-mail. A Chinese space telescope Tiam Lian 1 released this 2 minutes video of the 3.1 mile comet ‘Ison’ some say put Mars in coma when it passed by it and changed course that may threatens earth. You can see in the video that 2 UFOs were in orbit around the comet some say is veering the comet away from earth but others suspect otherwise. What if the UFOs are steering the comet towards earth and to compound the scare; a massive UFO mothership is allegedly parked on the dark-side of the moon. Fiction…? Be the judge.

I have been for quite a while trying to put together a short movie of Lake Lanao but I couldn’t find the material I want to project. I scoured YouTube but nobody seems to have made a documentary of the lake’s untouched beauty anyhow; at least I tried. If your own photo appeared in this short movie; I thank you and be proud because I chose your photo or photos from the thousands posted in the net.

Dr. Brown’s search of the God that listened to his prayer as an atheist

We have all heard of people’s amazing journeys to Islam that differs in as many as there are people on the journey but rarely if at all do we hear of one that is based on real miracle. If you are in the medical or paramedic profession; you will understand why Dr. Brown’s journey is miraculous in every sense of the word. You cannot find an abnormality on an ultrasound and moments later; it is completely changed to being normal unless the power of prayer did intervened and yes…Dr. Brown was an atheist at the time he prayed to God. The miracle set him on a journey to finding God…

It must have gone like this:

Atheist: “If it is true that there is a God and you are there…”

God: “Yea; I am here and to prove I am here alright…your wish is granted but will you fulfill your end of the bargain?”

THIS IS A QUESTION FOR ALL: "Will you fulfill your end o the bargain with God...?"

SIGNS OF THE TIMES: It's Coming...THE END!

The Earthquake that hit the Philippine Island of Bohol on October 15 that destroyed homes and killed about 200 also destroyed churches considered national treasures. Many lives were saved especially children who were away from school because of the Eid’l Adha (Muslim) Holiday. The Eid’l Adha translated “Feast of Sacrifice” marks the day Prophet Abraham (a.s.) sacrificed Ishmael; his only son at the time in obedience to God’s demand. What most people don’t know was the reason for the sacrifice. It was actually for the building of Ka’aba or Beit Allah (House of God); the first house of worship for God. This is where the tradition of shedding of sacrificial animal blood before the construction of a building began…believe it or not. This latest video is my reading of the ‘signs of the times’: 7 minutes.

General Wesley Clark: WE ARE GOING TO TAKE OUT 7 COUNTRIES IN 5 YEARS

If you have not watched this video; you would think that what General Wesley Clark said was a myth. Of the 7 countries mentioned; only the axis of Lebanon (Hezbollah), Syria (only a matter of time) and Iran remains. USA with its African allies successfully removed the Al-Shabab from power in Somalia and successfully partitioned Sudan with the granting of Independence to the mostly Christian South meaning of the 7; 4 are already destroyed: Iraq, Libya, Somalia and Sudan. General Clark, mentioned 7 not 8 because at the time; Afghanistan was already being bombed meaning it’s actually 8 countries not 7 including Afghanistan.

When Obama declared that USA will bomb Syria as early as within days of his speech; the world held its breath. I think what really saved Syria from bombing devastation similar to what it did to Libya was UK’s parliament vote of no go. USA is so financially broke; it won’t go to another war unless its traditional allies like UK and the NATO (who are likewise broke) are willing to go along and pay for the cost.

USA as of today is still locked down without the necessary budget to finance government operations…real weird.  The World Bank is warning the US government to end the lock down and fix the debt ceiling or default on its debts and drag down the world economy. USA’s current debt now stands at 16.7 trillion dollars.

Muslim Zeng He; did he discover America before Columbus?

Zeng He; the Muslim Chinese Admiral who commanded the greatest armada of ships ever assembled is back in the limelight with the latest book “1421; the year China Discovered America.” The following is a 2 hours documentary of his exploits where the author theorized that he discovered America 70 years before Columbus and possibly without knowing circumnavigated the globe long before Magellan did. 

▶ 1421 Chinese discover america before europeans - YouTube:

WIKIPEDIA:

Zheng He (1371–1433), formerly romanized as Cheng Ho, was a Hui-Chinese court eunuch, mariner, explorer, diplomat and fleet admiral, who commanded expeditionary voyages to Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, and East Africa from 1405 to 1433. As a favorite of the Yongle Emperor, whose usurpation he assisted, he rose to the top of the imperial hierarchy and served as commander of the southern capital Nanjing. These voyages were long neglected in official Chinese histories but have become well known in China and abroad since the publication of Liang Qihao's "Biography of Our Homeland's Great Navigator, Zheng He"^[3] in 1904.^[4] A trilingual stele left by the navigator was discovered on Sri Lanka shortly thereafter.

Zheng He was the second son of a family from Kunyang,^[a] Yunnan.^[5] He was originally born with the name Ma He.^[1][6] His family were Hui people. He had four sisters^[1][6][7][8] and one older brother.^[1][7]

Zheng He's religious beliefs are uncertain. We know that he was born into a Muslim family^[6][9][10] and that on his travels he built mosques while also spreading the worship of Mazu/Tianfei. He apparently never found time for a pilgrimage to Mecca but did send sailors there on his last voyage. He played an important part in developing relations between China and Islamic countries.^[11][12] His religious beliefs may have become eclectic in his adulthood.^[9][10] Zheng He also visited Muslim shrines of Islamic holy men in the Fujian province. In 1985 a Muslim-style tomb was built in Nanjing on the site of an earlier horseshoe-shape grave; it contains his clothes and headgear as his body was buried at sea.^[13]

He was the great-great-great-grandson of Sayyid Ajjal Shams al-Din Omar, a Persian who served in the administration of the Mongol Empire and was the Governor of Yunnan during the early Yuan Dynasty.^[14][15] His great-grandfather was named Bayan and may have been stationed at a Mongol garrisons in Yunnan.^[6] His grandfather carried the title hajji.^[1][16] His father had the surname Ma and the title hajji.^[1][6][16] The title suggest that they had made the pilgrimage to Mecca.^[1][6][16]

STATE OF THE NATION: Senator Lacson and the Pig...

Few months into the senate in 2001; Senator Lacson discovered the evil of the Pig. He was a neophyte in the senate. He was told by colleagues that the pork is your bridge to the people. It is how you make friends to advance your political carrier something like “it is the pig that will bribe your way up the political ladder.” He realized though that he was making enemies not friends if he was going to prosecute recipients of his pork who were corrupting his pigs. He found it better to stay clean and gave up his annual 200 million worth of pigs; a whooping 2.4 billion pesos in the 12 years he was in the senate.  (9 minutes in his own words)

He delivered a privilege speech in 2003 against the pork but he was like a criminal telling his co-criminals the evil of their deeds. The session was suspended as soon as he finished his speech and when the session resumed; the session was immediately adjourned. His senator colleagues ignored his privilege speech and lived happily-not-ever-after until Napoles smashed the pig into their faces. Some senators will live-sadly-ever-after not for the loss of their pigs but for the death of their dreams to become presidents but hey; Filipinos are not only forgiving…they have very short memories. Jinggoy Estrada and Bong Revilla could still become future presidents if Bong-Bong Marcos don’t beat them into it…get what I mean?

The Making of Malala Yousafzai: DESTINY's CHILD...

I thought all along before I watched this documentary that the girl Malala was a nobody until she was shot in a failed assassination by the Pakistan Taliban, who I always refer to as the soldiers of the Dajjal.  I was wrong…

Watch this 10-minute documentary made before she was shot in the head by the Taliban and tell me if she does not deserve, regardless of her young age, the “Nobel for Peace.” She deserves it far better than US President Obama, Israel’s President Perez, and NATO, real non-fiction gods of war that were hilariously awarded the Nobel for Peace.

Pakistan Taliban: Heretics Waging War against Islam

As a Muslim; it pains me a lot to see freaks among my co-religionists do things I would consider very un-Islamic acts in facts I would call it evil. It boggles the mind how such people would do ungodly acts and scream to the top of their voices the name of God; an act that defaces the beautiful face of Islam. I find it real hard to comprehend unless we are closer to the end times; closer than we think where according to the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) the ‘Dajjal’ will mislead Muslims to damnation. Some of you may have amusingly laughed with things I wrote in the past where I tagged the “one eyed Mullah Muhammad Omar;” founding father of the Taliban as the prophesied ‘Dajjal.’  These heretics took it upon themselves to wage war against Muslims who do not subscribe to their brand of Islam.

This is an 8 minutes video edited from a 42 minutes video I found in my YouTube Channel. I am likewise posting the whole video for those who have the time to watch.
