LEDO - Live Everyday Die Once

LEDO is a journal of the "everyday of everything" in my life that is worth remembering...

 to remind me that each new day is a chance to explore new things, to enjoy life, and to thank God! 

I always believe that we live everyday and we die once...

💖Bible Verse💖

And Mary said: "My soul praises the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me – holy is his name." 

- - - Luke 1:46–49, NIV

💖Prayer💖

O Lord God, in exultation our hearts go out to you and your revelation of heaven, your revelation of the Spirit, who can fill our hearts so that we remain steadfast throughout our earthly life. It is still dark on earth. Sin and death hold sway, but we stand unafraid and seek repentance. In spite of all our failures we look to you and know you are our Savior. You send us Jesus Christ in your own glory. The world will be filled with light. Everywhere on earth, even among those who do not know you, the sincere-hearted will come to acknowledge that you, the Father of Jesus Christ and our Father, are God over all the world. You will show your glory to all people so that they may come to you, worship you, and walk in the light, to the everlasting glory of your name. Amen.  (www.plough.com)

Don't be surprised if you reached the end of 2018 only to find the wind being taken out of your sails, not too sure if you have the energy or motivation to embrace 2019 from the get go or not. Fortunately, you have permission to hold back, with Mars' return to a nostalgic, reflective but also intuitive and imaginative part of your chart today, a valuable chance to pull back. Mars is not only preparing for his return to Taurus in February but in turn to play support for the major new doors opening this year.

Daily Compatibility: Cancer

The reality is that the New Year is an arbitrary date and it isn't even the same around the globe. So while the calendar might change, rarely does anything else change too dramatically, except this year. As Mars leaves an adventurous part of your chart he not only returns to your career sector, but to find Uranus still here and lucky Jupiter in your work sector. This is literally the first time in our lifetime these three powerful forces have come together like this, with the whole dynamics of what is happening professionally changing. And Mars has chosen the New Year, for maximum impact.

If 2018 has been a busy year, then help is on the way. 2019 is destined to be an even busier year, especially once Mars returns to Taurus in February and Uranus just weeks later. Yet with the six week wind down of your current Mars cycle starting tomorrow, it is then that you will finally have a chance to recharge your batteries. If you have been promising yourself time out over the holiday period, but as yet haven't been able to make it happen, help is on the way and it arrives tomorrow. 

Daily Compatibility: Cancer

With Mars spending his last weekend in an adventurous part of your chart and Venus preparing to move into her last weekend in a playful part, they are both encouraging you to embrace the weekend and holiday spirit. Knowing that you are just two days away from a massive acceleration on the professional front, with income, work and career developments exploding in January, the more you can take time out now the better. What you need is not just time out, but time out to play, explore and to embrace a passion for adventure.

But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.

💖Prayer💖

O Lord God, we thank you for everything you allow us to see and hear. May our hearts become awake and alive through all we receive so that we await your final revelation and recognize your ultimate will for all people, for all nations and races on earth. Hear us in these days, for we know your kingdom is coming. Your kingdom is before our eyes. Your Word, your help, is coming, and in Jesus Christ light will dawn for all the world. Praise and honor to you for all you do! May we see it all before our eyes so that our expectation of the last days is a living expectation, full of joy and blessing. We want to wait in joy, in love, and in longing for the day that is coming to your glory. Amen.  (www.plough.com)

As Mercury spends his last weekend in your financial sector, you have the smart head for money needed to keep your head in the game and to work on your financial game plan and resolutions for the coming year. Instead, the money gods are asking you to keep your mind and your options open, knowing that with the planets of luck and money meeting up here in nine days' time, that anything is possible. Have your head in the game and use the smart head for money Mercury is giving you, but it is too soon to have a specific game plan.

What a difference a week can make. This time last weekend it was the first full day of your birthday month and both the Sun and you were under pressure from a Full Moon. A week on and with your birthday month running for another three weeks, all the challenges are now behind you. You've had the wakeup calls and with a solar eclipse in a week from today, there is a lot to be excited about. Yet as you look back at the wakeup calls last weekend's Full Moon delivered, chances are they can already be seen as the blessings in disguise they were. 

My ‘Out-of-this-World’ Experience - Season 2

Have you ever had experience a phenomenon that cannot be explained no matter how you tried to understand it?  Are you familiar with the phrase ‘beyond one’s imagination or understanding’?  If you have this some sort of experience that makes you feel that hair-raising/eerie or déjà vu feeling, please share through email message to merlinagp@gmail.com.  It is my pleasure to post your experience in this Blog.  Let the circle of sharing begins.

The  Bonfire

Shared by Jesus B. Israel, Jr.  for Team 'La Familia Longganisa'

Every year when I was a child we go back to our province to have a vacation at my grandparent’s house.  They lived near at the mountain top on our province.  That place was very silent and the nearest neighbor is almost a hundred meters away and a couple of meters away, there is a spring which was the water source of the neighborhood.  Every time we passed that water source we feel like there are eyes watching over us.  Sometimes several fireflies are circling that spring which looks like an enchanted spring on a video game.  Since it was the nearest area we can go to, me and my cousins decided to bath on that area and one of them even dived on that spring.

Nothing unusual really happened that time until that same afternoon almost 6:00 in the evening, my family made a bonfire out of coconut husks and branches.  One of my cousins took some pictures that happened to have orbs in it but one of his pictures even looks more intriguing to me.  My own picture where a silhouette of a humanoid figure appeared on the flames.
See for yourself and you decide whether it was just a coincidence or an eerie event? 

Impossible but it happened to me!

Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come to his people and redeemed them. He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David.

Lord our God, dear Father in heaven, we come into your presence and ask you to show yourself to us as the true, great, and almighty God, who can shed light into our misery and change it all, letting us find reconciliation and redemption in Jesus Christ. Protect and help us with your mighty hand. Let every country and nation see your grace and see the victory over all sin and injustice. Let your justice come on earth, and let peace fill every heart and show in every life. May all that happens to us serve the good. Help us always look to you, our Lord and God, for you have power to rule everything and to turn everything to its right purpose. Amen.   (www.plough.com)

The closer you draw to the New Year the more you are likely to be thinking about New Year's resolutions. However, even the most serious and pragmatic of the gods and Saturn, hard taskmaster of the cosmos, in particular, are instead encouraging you to focus more on a bucket list. This is a chance to turn the tables and instead of promising 2019 what you will and won't do, dare to ask 2019 to deliver all that it can. A mix of playful and adventurous forces over the last few days have opened your mind to what's possible.

Just a week before Mercury, the planet of communication is due to return to your relationship sector, the Moon's last visit to your communication sector for the year wraps up. On one hand, this has been a stopgap, especially if a Full Moon in Cancer last weekend has put pressure on your relationships. Yet the Moon can do what Mercury can't, which is to flush out emotional responses and even old triggers in order to give them a voice.

The "BAKIT" List

We are all familiar with the western term "Bucket List". This Blog will take this "Bucket List" to a different level, the Pinoy style aptly called the "BAKIT" List. This "BAKIT" List is a compilation of everyday questions that seemingly challenge our sanity.  Filipinos love to play with words, it’s part of our lives.

Let us fill the “BAKIT” List through email to merlinagp@gmail.com by sharing your everyday questions that start with BAKIT and its description. Please include also a short  answer to the question. Happy questioning and smart answering!!!

"BAKIT" List #30

"WHY" List #30

BAKIT kulay GREEN ang BLACKboard?

Why are BLACKboards GREEN in color?

Brief Description 

Bilang isang estudyante, lagi kong pinag-tatakhan kung bakit tinawag na BLACKboard ang blackboard samantalang berde o GREEN naman ang kulay nito.
As a student, I have always wondered why and would ask myself why blackboards were called as a BLACKboard when they are in fact GREEN in color.

My Smart Answer

Base sa kasaysayan, ang mga unang pisara o blackboards ay sadyang kulay itim o BLACK.  Nang ginamit ang mga blackboards sa pag-tuturo at pag-aaral, ginawa nila itong berde o GREEN dahil ito ang kulay ng PAG-ASA...  Para tayong mga estudyante ay hindi mawalan ng pag-asang pumasa sa eskwela!!!  

Based on history, blackboards were first made BLACK.  But when blackboards were used in school and for teaching, they then turned it into GREEN because it is the color of HOPE...  So that we students wouldn't loose hope in passing our subjects in school!!!

Lord our God, our light and our life, in our longing to live by your Word we lift our eyes to you. Let your Word come into our hearts. Let your Word help us to understand our lives and our time, so that we can recognize your leading in everything and gather courage every day in spite of our weakness, sins, and faults. We can still find joy, for your kingdom is coming. We can feel that you are among us, however great the anguish of these times. Let the light of Jesus Christ shine out; let your Spirit of peace and grace come to all nations so that your will may be done. Free people from all their confusion. Release them from their bondage. Make them free for what is good, true, and eternal. May your name be praised among us today and forevermore. Amen. (www.plough.com)

At the same time that there is a strong sense of nostalgia and even lethargy in the air, today's playful lunar vibes add to the temptation to play hooky. Whether on holiday, working through or you are busy with life's other demands, today's stars are encouraging you to play hooky. This is all about giving yourself permission to embrace life. The Moon's intuitive edge makes it relatively easy to know when to keep your work hat on and when to take it off, though these playful lunar vibes have a definite bias. 

Daily Compatibility: Virgo

The Moon's return to Virgo every four weeks is always a valuable chance to get your bearings, listen to your inner voice and to just spend time going within. This is even more important as the Moon makes its last visit to Virgo for the year. This isn't a day for wallowing in the past or in strong emotional responses and more a chance to find time to hear yourself think. At a time of year when there is a lot of focus on your relationships, family and others' needs in general, this is a chance to listen to your own voice.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will be upon his shoulder, and his name will be called "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." - - - Isaiah 9:6, RSV
💖Prayer💖

Lord our God, you have sent light to shine on earth and have revealed your heavenly power in Jesus Christ, so that in spite of all the darkness and evil we may rejoice because we have a Savior. Reveal your power in our day. Let something be done anew toward the building of your kingdom on earth. Let something draw men's hearts to you to give them light so that they may thank and praise you for all you have done and are still doing to bring the whole world into your hands. O Lord God, let men be moved by the opening of the heavens. May their hearts awaken and their sadness give way to joy in Jesus Christ the Savior. We are your children who are allowed to wait in expectation for you to set everything right. We can know that even in our troubled times your hand is at work to reveal your will, to make your will plain to all generations on earth, as you promised through Abraham. May your name be glorified, O Lord God. May your name be honored, your kingdom come, and your will be done on earth as in heaven. Amen. (www.plough.com)

Whether Christmas has been fun, stressful, hard work or time out, today's playful lunar vibes bring a chance to really embrace the holiday spirit. Whether you are working through or on holiday, the Moon is encouraging you to make time to have some fun. These playful lunar vibes are only here for a few days and are a valuable and timely reminder that life can't be all work and no play. Especially at this time of year.

Daily Compatibility: Virgo

As a Mercury ruled sign you spend a lot of time in your head, for you were born with a smart, practical and articulate advantage that the rest of us lack. Yet there are two downsides. The first is that this can create a tendency to over think things and the second is that you can spend so much time in your head, that you forget to listen to or have learned to override your body. As the Moon leaves a reflective part of your chart, pay attention to any messages over the last few days to slow down.

💖Bible Verse💖

But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord"...Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests." Luke 2:10–11, 13–14, NIV

💖Prayer💖

Lord God, our Father in heaven, you have sent us the Savior, who was born to bring great joy to all people. Glorify your name, we pray. Give the world the peace you alone can give, the peace that wells up in our hearts. Let your favor rest on us so that we may hold out under our sufferings on earth. We need your loving help to remain inwardly steadfast until everyone can be reached by the message, "Be strong in the grace of Jesus Christ." Amen (www.plough.com)

Christmas is always a time when the focus is on family, whether we are with them or not and whether it is those no longer with us. Yet having the Moon in your home and family sector over Christmas is amplifying this and this time, for all the right reasons. The Moon is making no tough aspect that may have created tension and instead, is creating some friendly aspects that make this a special day for all things close to home. It has been a busy year, with the stars calling for some quality time out. 

Daily Compatibility: Pisces

The stars aren't so much sending mixed messages today and more that there are a variety of influences in play. With Venus spending Christmas in an adventurous part of your chart and a playful Full Moon having just run its course yesterday, a mix of romantic, adventurous and passionate forces will dominate the holiday period. Yet you not only have the Moon spending Christmas in your work sector, but lucky Jupiter in your career sector. However, even the professional gods are encouraging time out to play.
