And you have probably seen this one. Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible. But do you know which nation is second? It is Iraq ! However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible. The names used in the Bible are Babylon , Land of Shinar, and Mesopotamia. The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The name Iraq , means country with deep roots.
Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible.
No other nation, except Israel, has more history and prophecy associated with it than Iraq .
And also… This is something to think about! Since America is typically represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages…
The following verse is from the Koran (the Islamic Bible) ,
Koran (9:11) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.
(Note the verse number!) Hmmmmmmm?!!!

only reminds me of you ( music video )
i really like this song…
only reminds me of you
this is the poem on the music video of MYMP’s version of ” only reminds me of you “. full of emotions. full of sadness…
A song of anticipation follows
black leather of footsteps
seconded by the pitter pattering
of a fist-sized machine
I am jailed by your memory
these bars of sunlight
and walls of scented smoke
and brown woods with picture frames
of evening coffee stains and cherry lipgloss
mend spaces at the back of my head
eventually, present becomes a cage
I, arrest this bird fearing fly
and longingly said to return
I hope I could learn how to do all of these…
Don’t shield yourself from pain, never fear pain either. Face whatever it is that comes your way. Don’t be afraid to stumble and fall, to cry and get hurt. Dread not those helpless moments, when you can’t even fight your tears back, and all you can do is stare at something and let time pass. You can only understand happiness after you’ve felt pain. Life is not fair, it never was, and it
We choose how we see people. When we want to like someone, we can be so tolerant. When we want to be irritated by people, we focus on their faults. It’s not other people’s behavior that determines how we feel about them, it’s our attitude!
Being happy doesn’t mean everything’s ok. It only means you’ve decided to see things beyond life’s imperfections! Whatever happens, stay happy and enjoy what life brings!
To be happy, don’t do whatever you like – like whatever you do. Happiness comes not from having much to live ON, but having much to live FOR.
Nobody can ever make you feel average without your permission. Ingratitude and criticism are going to come; they are part of the price you pay for leaping past mediocrity. When you make your mark in life, you’ll always attract erasers. Never surrender your dream to noisy negatives! - The Enemy Called Average
Agos
bakit ganun? bakit kung kailan handa na akong sumubok, saka parang nagbago ang lahat? bakit kung kailan nagpatangay na ako sa agos saka ito nag iba ng dereksyon. ang hirap nito, wala akong lakas ng loob para alamin kung saan ba talaga ako patungo. kung masusunod ko pa ba ang dereksyon na napili kong daanan. kung babalik pa ba ang agos na naging dahilan ng aking pagkatangay.
hindi naman talaga ako nagpapatangay sa agos. dahil alam ko na hindi ko malalaman kung saan ako dadalhin ng agos. hindi ako sigurado kung saan talaga ako hihinto. kung ano ang mga kasabay ko na tangay din ng agos na nagtangay sa akin. bagay na kinatatakutan ko. kinatatakutan ko kasi, takot ako sa damdaming ipaparamdam sa akin ng agos. sa mga sugat ng mga bato at kahoy na madadaanan ko sa aking pagkatangay. alam ko, alam ko na gagaling din ang mga sugat, pero mag iiwan ito ng marka na mahirap ng alisin. at takot ako sa lugar na possibleng paghintuan sa akin ng agos.
hindi ko alam kung ano ang nagpabago ng isip ko at hinayaan kong tangayin ako ng agos ngayon. siguro dahil nakita ko kung gaano ito kakalmante. nakita ko na ang mga kasabay ko na tangay din ng agos at sa tingin ko wala naman silang idudulot na masama sa akin. naisip ko, bakit nga ba hindi ko subukan? bakit hindi ako nagpatangay? hindi ko naisip na posibleng magbago ang dereksyon ng agos. na posibleng madagdagan ang mga kasabay ko na tangay din ng agos. na posibleng hindi ito laging kalmante at hindi ako ihinto sa dapat kong hintuan. may mga sugat na ako dala ng mga kahoy at bato na aking nadaanan. at ayoko sa mga damdaming nararanasan ko ngayon. gusto ko ng umalis sa agos. gusto ko ng huminto. pero paano? hindi ko alam.
