Watch out for my blog’s new theme and posts next year !!!

———————————–

Starting this week, we’ll be doing a series of different contests for our “YugaTech Great Gadget Giveaway” with a major theme around it. It will be really simple and have easy mechanics. Our contest for this week is called “Merry Tweetmas”.

Round 1: Our theme for this week will be Twitter. Here’s the mechanics:

1) Follow @abeolandres and @talk2globe on Twitter.

2) Post a tweet “Just entered to win a Modu Phone. Quick! Go follow @abeolandres and @talk2globe and retweet: http://bit.ly/6e2q7O #thanks2yugatech”

We’re giving away a Modu phone, 10 Globe Tattoo and 20 Php500 prepaid call cards randomly. That’s 31 winners in all for the Twitter giveaway.

If you don’t have a Twitter account but own a blog, here’s another way for you to join in this week’s giveaways:

1) Blog about the “YugaTech Great Gadget Giveaway”. Include the photo I posted here and link to this contest page.

2) Don’t forget to include in your post the mechanics for the Twitter contest above.

3) Leave a comment here with the URL of your entry.

For this one, we’ll give away another Modu phone, 10 Globe Tattoo and 10 prepaid load cards worth Php500 each. That’s 21 additional winners for a total of 52 winners this week.

Lastly, for our YugaTech readers who don’t Twitter or blog, here’s one for you:

1) Leave a comment on this contest page with the answer to this question — “If you’re stuck in an island with a phone and only have one call left, who would you call and why?“.

Ten most witty or creative answers will each win Php500 worth of prepaid load cards from Globe.

You can join in any of the 3 separate giveaways above but you can only win once for this round. If you win twice or on all 3, you get the bigger prize.

That’s a total of 62 lucky winners this week alone. This is just to warm you up for that grand prize. Go and start spreading the word!

Our giveaways won’t be this huge if not for our sponsors. Go thank Globe in your own little way.

Note: Anyone can join in the contests as many times since we’ll have more rounds in the coming weeks and months. Items will be shipped anywhere in the Philippines for free.

I f you’re not a believer, you must be, because life will not be as beautiful without HIM!!.  ( A good story from TL Teacher Jason).

—————-

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy speaks to his Class

on the Problem Science has with
GOD The ALMIGHTY.
He asks one of his New Christian Students to stand and . . .

Professor   You are a Christian arent you son?
Student     Yes sir.
Professor             So you Believe in GOD?
Student     Absolutely sir.
Professor             Is GOD Good?
Student     Sure.
Professor             Is GOD ALL POWERFUL?
Student     Yes.
Professor:  My Brother died of Cancer even though he Prayed to GOD to Heal him.
Most of us would attempt to Help Others who are ill.
But GOD didnt.
How is this GOD Good then? Hmm?

( Student is silent )

Professor       You cant answer can you?
Lets start again Young Fella.
Is GOD Good?
Student Yes.
Professor Is Satan good?
Student No.
Professor Where does Satan come from?
Student From . . . GOD . . .
Professor Thats right.
Tell me son is there evil in this World?
Student Yes.
Professor Evil is everywhere isnt it?
And GOD did make Everything. Correct?
Student Yes.
Professor So who created evil?

( Student does not answer )

Professor Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness?
All these terrible things exist in the World dont they?
Student Yes sir.
Professor So who Created them?

( Student has no answer )

Professor Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe the World
around you.
Tell me son . . . Have you ever Seen GOD?
Student No sir.
Professor Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD?
Student No sir.
Professor Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt your GOD?
Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter?
Student No sir. Im afraid I havent.
Professor Yet you still Believe in HIM?
Student Yes.
Professor According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your
GOD doesnt exist.
What do you say to that son?
Student Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor Yes. Faith. And that is the Problem Science has.
Student Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor Yes.
Student And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor Yes.
Student No sir. There isnt.

( The Lecture Theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events )

Student Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat, Mega Heat,White Heat, a Little Heat or No Heat. But we dont have anything called Cold..We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat, but we cant go any further after that.
There is no such thing as Cold. Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat.
We cannot Measure Cold.
Heat is Energy.
Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat sir just the Absence of it.

( There is a Pin – Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre )

Student What about Darkness Professor? Is there such a thing as Darkness?
Professor Yes. What is Night if there isnt Darkness?
Student Youre wrong again, sir.
Darkness is the Absence of Something.
You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light . . .
But if you have No Light Constantly, you have Nothing and its called Darkness, isnt it?
In reality, Darkness isnt.
If it is, were you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldnt you?

Professor So what is the point you are making, Young Man?
Student Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is Flawed.
Professor Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student Sir you are working on the Premise of Duality.
You argue there is Life and then there is Death a Good GOD and a Bad GOD.
You are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite something we can measure.
Sir Science cant even explain a Thought.
It uses Electricity and Magnetism but has never seen much less fully understood either one.
To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that
Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing.
Death is Not the Opposite of Life just the Absence of it.
Now tell me Professor do you Teach your Students that they Evolved from a Monkey?
Professor If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process yes of course I do.
Student Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes sir ?

( The Professor shakes his head with a Smile beginning to realize where the Argument is going )

Student Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and
cannot even prove that this Process is an On Going Endeavor
are you not Teaching your Opinion sir?
Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?

( The Class is in Uproar )

Student Is there anyone in the Class who has ever Seen the Professors Brain?

( The Class breaks out into Laughter )

Student Is there anyone here who has ever Heard the Professors Brain Felt it Touched or Smelt it? . . .
No one appears to have done so.
So according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that
you have No Brain, sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir?

( The Room is Silent. The Professor stares at the Student, his face unfathomable

Professor I guess youll have to take them on Faith son.
Student That is it sir . . .
the Link between Man & GOD is FAITH.
That is all that Keeps Things Moving & Alive.

now tHat is wHat I call a real LiFe LeSSON!!!
yOu and I encounter such experiences everyday of our lives..
