“How can you say that love is true?” This is a question that should be answered by those people who are in love. Well, not really in love but those who experienced love. Everybody felt this feeling: being loved and to love. There are many examples of love: love for the family, love for god, love for your best friend, love for the country, love for the fellowmen and love for the opposite sex. But, what is true love and how can you say that the love you’re feeling is real?
True love for me is understanding and sacrificial. Understanding to the point that whatever happens to the relationship of yours (either you quarrel or something like that), you are ready to listen to the explanation of your partner and be ready to forgive if he/she does mistakes. Real love doesn’t long for power, it doesn’t want to hurt, doesn’t want to punish for mistakes; it’s self-sacrificing and ready to forgive over and over again. But it’s wrong to think that true love is always a suffering, it only means that you take a person as he or she is and don’t expect the one you love to be perfect. One trusts another more than him/herself and feels ready to satisfy every little need of a partner. True love signifies the word “sacrifice”. It is not selfish but it makes sure that all things are at good system and though it hurts their feelings, they will do the right thing to do.
It’s said that two persons truly in love aren’t looking at each other but in the one direction. And this is rather reasonable because they don’t say nothing “this is yours and this is mine” and share everything: friends, enemies, interests, problems and etc. One has his/her own identity but sees him/herself only as a part of the other. Still real love is not a relationship of property. If you really love someone you may say “I belong to you” but always be ready to let go if it makes the person you love happy. True love isn’t supposed to blow your mind, yet it doesn’t tend to get and to possess – it’s a very special state of a soul. True love is a good experience! You’ll learn a lot from it!

“True Love”
“Blessing or Disaster?”
Why sometimes our blessings seem a disaster for us? Well, the only reason for this is jealousy. People are not contented with what they have and what they are. They want more than what they possess and still crave for bigger blessings and opportunities to come. This result to the misfortunes and bad things that will happen to the blessed ones.
If a person is successful in life, having all the riches in the world, and live a better life than anyone else, then many people got jealous of him. They will plan to ruin the life of that successful person and they wanted to have those riches too. So, the blessings that were received were the cause of the misfortunes of the successful person. Many treats will be received and the blessings will cost his life.
We cannot avoid those people who are not contented and selfish. They will do anything to get the things they want that can harm the person who has it. So, for those blessed ones, learn to share you blessings so that those jealous people will be shy to do anything harmful for you. Don’t wait for your blessing to be a disaster.
“Pleasure from Misfortune”
Why do some people derive pleasure from the misfortune of others? The most appropriate answer is jealousy. Most bad things happen due to jealousy and all people possess this trait. Every individual felt that jealousy inside of them, especially when they think that someone is better than they are, more beautiful than they were, and all of the things that people considered as a competition. It is a hymen nature that even possessed by most of humans, it should be stopped, because it’s not a right to be jealous of someone. God created us differently and unique from one another, resulting to different abilities and skills acquired by every human being.
Being happy about one’s misfortune is a bad side of human behavior that should be controlled and changed as soon as possible. For example, Venus (Greek Mythology) is jealous of Psyche’s beauty, hence she made a plan to ruin Psyche. She commanded her son Cupid to make Psyche fall in love with the most worthless creature on Earth, with a man who is a loser, a total waster, a reject, an utter tosspot and complete scumbag, in short, the ugliest man in the entire world. But because her son fell in love when he saw Psyche, the plan was not pursued. Then, Psyche did not trust Cupid and leave her. That’s when Venus came to action.
She had her revenge by giving Psyche many trials to do. She is very happy to see Psyche suffering from each task that she’s giving to Psyche. But every challenge is having the help of Cupid. She always win and being able to do the challenge given to her by the Goddess of Love and Beauty because of jealousy. But still she was able to give Psyche misfortunes and was happy to punish the mortal that was said to be more beautiful than her.

Background of the Study...
For example, (C, R, Y) is a sequence of letters that differs from (Y, C, R), as the ordering matters. Sequences can be finite, as in this example, or infinite, such as the sequence of all even positive integers (2, 4, 6,...).
In analysis, when talking about sequences, one will generally consider sequences of the form
(X1, X2, X3………) or (X0, X1, X2……….)
which is to say, infinite sequences of elements indexed by natural numbers.
It may be convenient to have the sequence start with an index different from 1 or 0. For example, the sequence defined by xn = 1/log(n) would be defined only for n ≥ 2. When talking about such infinite sequences, it is usually sufficient (and does not change much for most considerations) to assume that the members of the sequence are defined at least for all indices large enough, that is, greater than some given N.)
The most elementary type of sequences are numerical ones, that is, sequences of real or complex numbers. This type can be generalized to sequences of elements of some vector space. In analysis, the vector spaces considered are often function spaces. Even more generally, one can study sequences with elements in some topological space.

I Made It, We Made It!
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, nah.... Baby give it up, give it up... Baby give it up! This verse in the song "give it up" was frequently sang by the students who got the score of 47, 1 point to go to get exempted in the Periodic Test in Physics... Well, I'm not really interested in that policy until.... I got the score of 47! What?!!! Hayyy... I remembered myself praying a lot last night.. I even told my housemates to pray for me 'cause honestly, I really cannot understand the left- hand rule for motors and generators... It's so confusing! And when Physics time came... I'm so nervous.... I want to be exempted noh? Who doesn't want exemption? Maybe none...
After checking all the papers of the third year students, many arguments, "Pagpipilit", and so on came...

November 1: Trick Or Treat?
our ancestors in their generations.
The Lord apportioned to them great glory,
his majesty from the beginning.
There were those who ruled in their kingdoms,
and made a name for themselves by their valor;
those who gave counsel because they were intelligent;
those who spoke in prophetic oracles;
those who led the people by their counsels
and by their knowledge of the people's lore;
they were wise in their words of instruction;
those who composed musical tunes,
or put verses in writing;
rich men endowed with resources,
living peacefully in their homes--
all these were honored in their generations,
and were the pride of their times.
Some of them have left behind a name,
so that others declare their praise.
But of others there is no memory;
they have perished as though they had never existed;
they have become as though they had never been born,
they and their children after them.
But these also were godly men,
whose righteous deeds have not been forgotten;
Their offspring will continue forever,
and their glory will never be blotted out.
Their bodies are buried in peace,
but their name lives on generation after generation.
Psalm 149 Page 807, BCP
Cantate Domino
1
Hallelujah!Sing to the LORD a new song; *sing his praise in the congregation of the faithful.
2
Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; *let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3
Let them praise his Name in the dance; *let them sing praise to him with timbrel and harp.
4
For the LORD takes pleasure in his people *and adorns the poor with victory.
5
Let the faithful rejoice in triumph; *let them be joyful on their beds.
6
Let the praises of God be in their throat *and a two-edged sword in their hand;
7
To wreak vengeance on the nations *and punishment on the peoples;
8
To bind their kings in chains *and their nobles with links of iron;
9
To inflict on them the judgment decreed; *this is glory for all his faithful people.Hallelujah!
Revelation 7:2-4,9-17
I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to damage earth and sea,saying, "Do not damage the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have marked the servants of our God with a seal on their foreheads."
And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the people of Israel.
After this I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands. They cried out in a loud voice, saying,
"Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!" And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God,singing,
"Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.
"Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, "Who are these, robed in white, and where have they come from? "I said to him, "Sir, you are the one that knows. " Then he said to me, "These are they who have come out of the great ordeal; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
For this reason they are before the throne of God, and worship him day and night within his temple, and the one who is seated on the throne will shelter them. They will hunger no more, and thirst no more; the sun will not strike them, nor any scorching heat; for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of the water of life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
Matthew 5:1-12
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
"Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
"Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
"Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
