KENNETH PORIO | the blog

  Dear friends,     恭喜發財! Kung Hei Fat Choi! Kiong Hee Huat Tsay! Gong Xi Fa Cai! Congratulations of having surpassed the past year 2008 and into this prosperous year 2009. As we join our fellow Chinese community in celebrating their Spring Festival – the first day of the Chinese Lunar Year, let us look upon what we need to achieve good luck and prosperity.     Let me share to you about the Chinese character 福  (pronounced as “fu” in Mandarin), literally translates as “good luck, happiness, prosperity”. It is the character frequently used in Chinese luck items. But is it necessary for anyone to just have these material items to achieve “fu”, to achieve wealth, to achieve desires? Scriptures say: There is another very evil thing which I saw under the sun: a man has riches, property, honor and lacks nothing, yet God does not permit him to benefit from them. (Ecclesiastes 6:1-2). If a man has all these great possessions, yet does not know God at al...

Dearest friends, Graphics & Myspace layouts The year of our LORD, Two Thousand and Eight, has passed by, and another year has been made history. This year was a year of hopes, failures, friendships, and a deeper relationship to the LORD. Here are all I have experienced in this year. I encountered and passed these subjects in the 2nd Semester while I'm in UP Mindanao: CMSC11, CMSC56, MATH26, SSP1, SSP3, MST2. My blog boosted up its traffic when I joined in Entrecard and other blogging support tools. I won 2nd Placer with a partner during the Computer Science Week's IT Quiz 2008. I earned a little money, in which I used it to buy a UP Centennial Shirt. :-) My blog recieved a few reviews, and made memes and tags for the first time. I joined in the CDSI Community Site on Ning. In the Second Year of my blog, I made extreme changes in it: made a domain, more widgets and services, and then made an identity in the blogosphere. Life became tougher during the summer va...

From A Stellar Life KENNETH

"Kuya" Ito ang itinatawag sa mga kapatid na lalaki na mas matanda sa atin. Ito rin ay madalas itinatawag sa mga ka-eskwelahan na mas mataas ang antas o baitang sa atin. Ito ay madalas rin itinatawag sa mga kaibigang hindi naman kaanu-ano, ngunit itinuring na nating kapatid. Why should I tell the Filipino address of "Kuya", and what does it mean to me? It is simply because I wanna express why I love those who call me this way so much. I'm my family's firstborn, the panganay . So it's normal for my younger siblings and even my parents to call me "Kuya" all the time. Nevertheless, I love them so much for they are my family and I believe that they have felt the care I wanted to show them ever since I was born. I do care for them because I'm the Kuya . Back in high school, I would always appreciate the talents and intellects of those not in my age level. In particular, I would always look up to those batches older than we are because the...

Christmas is fast approaching! KENNETH

Dear friends, I am so blessed to blog again and make myself free to express - with a little discernment for that matter. But I still want to go personal since this blog is entirely made out of personal experiences. :-) You Can Change Your Life You've probably already improved your life a great deal, and you're no stranger to change. You're able to make very difficult changes in your life. It's all about state of mind. And even if you have some trouble changing, you're smart enough to get support or take a different approach. So go ahead and dare to make things better. You know you can do it! Can You Change Your Life? I WANT DEFINITE AND ABSOLUTE CHANGES IN MY LIFE. But where should I start to assess? I am an Independent Thinker , but I still want to be truly FREE to think. I think that letting out those unreliable parts in my personality will really improve my life. Why, I think so weirdly that I may say myself that I'm a cross betw...
