Does iPhone have a bug?

A glitch in iPhone’s software resulted in the failure of the device’s alarm clock to adjust to Daylight Saving Time. As a result, alarms went off an hour late which caused thousands of iPhone users in Britain to be late for work. Hundreds of irate users flooded Twitter with angry comments about the glitch on iPhone. Australian iPhone users also experienced the same problem. Except that their alarms went off an hour early instead of an hour late. Apple responded by saying that a software patch is now being developed to fix the issue.

Well I suppose glitches like these do happen-no matter how careful Apple is. The good thing about this is at least they are doing something to fix the problem. And hopefully this won’t happen again. I just hope that Apple really does fix this. There are hundreds of other companies that would love to take Apple’s place.

Interview with an Exorcist

Rev. Fr. Michel Joe Zerrudo, the Church of Divine Mercy’s parish priest and an exorcist in real life, describes what actually happens in an exorcism. He says that demons can make the possessed individual talk in a different language, levitate and do extreme body contortions. He does this primarily because he wants to intimidate. The Demon wants to make you fearful. And once you start feeling afraid, he has you. Exorcism is the ritual of driving demons out from a persons body which dates back since the time Jesus Christ. Jesus himself used to cast away evil spirits to free the person afflicted from its bondage. And when he gave his disciples the ability to heal, he also gave them the power to exorcise.


Fr. Zerrudo adds that exorcism cannot be performed by just anyone. You need to have faith and courage and are not easily intimidated by the demon. Bishops and priests can exorcise because they possess the fullness of the priesthood and Holy Orders. The ritual is extremely dangerous. Part of the preparation is the interview with the possessed. In this interview the exorcist will attempt to find out how the devil gained possession of the victim’s body. Then the possessed will be asked to confess and focus on strengthening his relationship with the Lord. Then fasting must be done both by the exorcist and the possessed person. Prior to exorcism, the exorcist prays the litany of sins, reads a Gospel passage out loud and a psalm. Then the priest asks the name of the demon, when it first came into the body and when it will get out. During the exorcism a doctor and a lawyer must be present. The doctor is there to ensure the victim’s safety while the lawyer is present to avoid legal liabilities.


How can one prevent being possessed? According to Fr. Zerrudo,  “The prevention is actually to live a Christian life. When a person is on the side of the Lord, nothing can come against him.”

Fr. Zerrudo is right. If the Lord is with you, then who can be against you? Demons and ghosts might be real. And they roam around seeking to wreak havoc. But if you stand strong in Christ, I believe that you will become invincible. Because God will protect. You can count on that.

World’s most expensive car-on sale in India

The fastest and most expensive production car in the world is now for sale in India. The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport supercar was unveiled at a car dealership on New Delhi on Thursday. This car is priced at a whooping 3.6 million dollars. To those who are thinking of buying it, you’d better decide now because only 150 of these will be released in the international market. According to Julius Kruta, an executive from Bugatti, “India is the hub of luxury, the country of the erstwhile Maharajas, who were the true patrons of bespoke luxury.” India is now one of the target markets for luxury vehicles because the fast-developing economy is producing more and more millionaires every year. India is said to have a record of 69 billionaires which make it the perfect market for a car like the Bugatti Veyron.

Now India might have a lot of billionaires, however, it also has a huge number of underprivileged citizens-about 836 million of them who manage to survive on 45 cents a day. Now this reminds of the Philippines. The Philippines is a country where the rich are really rich and the poor are really poor. There is a large gap-quiet the size of the Grand Canyon actually-between the rich and the poor. And I guess that is what we have in common with India. Imagine that one man can buy a car that costs 3.6 million dollars while most of his countrymen can barely eat. Tsk,tsk. But that’s just the way life is. Besides with a car that looks as good as this, I would not mind spending a few million-provided of course that I’m a billionaire to begin with. Right guys? :)

Filipina nurse accidentally causes brain-damage to patient

Violeta Aylward, a 55-year-old nurse based in London was caught by on CCTV as she accidentally turned of the ventilator of her paralyzed patient. This resulted in serious, irreversible brain damage. The video showed Aylward pressing a switch on the ventilator which then gave off high-pitched warning sounds prior to being turned off. The patient was identified as Jamie Merrett, at 37-year-old Brit, who was a victim of a car accident which left him paralyzed from the neck down. The video also showed Aylward trying to turn the ventilator back on but to no avail. When the paramedics showed up and successfully managed to turn it back on, it was already too late. 21 minutes had passed and Merret had already suffered severe brain damage. Now he has the mental capacity of but a young child. The family has decided to press charges against Aylward for this incident.

As a nurse, I have to say that it is not easy being in this profession. We can not afford to make mistakes. In other jobs a mistake might mean lost money, or lost clients. But in the medical field, one mistake can so easily lead to the disability or worse-the death of your patient. That is why even if Aylward is obviously at fault (it was caught on tv), I cant help but sympathize with her. She must be going through a rough time right now and she needs all the prayer and help she can get. Let this be a shout out to all the nurses out there (and yes, there are quite a few of us) to be more careful. Mistakes are just not an option in this profession.

7 Places to go Skinny Dipping

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to go skinny dipping? I know I have. Ever since I was in high school I have always been fascinated (and a bit scandalized) by the idea. By the time I got to college I concluded to myself that I have got to try it. So I put it on my list of “100 things to do before I die.”

Then I came across this article of 7 of the best spots in the world to go skinny dipping. And here they are!

1. Phuket Pavilions, Thailand

Imagine yourself getting out of bed and then plunging buck naked into this glorious infinity pool facing Andaman Sea at Phuket Pavilions. Their motto, “no tan lines, no interruptions” says it all. They also have room service, poolside massages and other perks that couples on a honeymoon are sure to love. 

2. River House, Sri Lanka

If you are not as fond of the sun as I am, but still love water then maybe you can try Sri Lanka’s River House with its tempting indoor pool. Doesn’t it remind you of a little Greek history? Greeks are known for their indoor pools.

Banyan Tree Lijiang, China

If you want to swim with wild abandon without a stitch on but still prefer to maintain your privacy, these poolside villas at Banyan Tree Lijiang are the best bet for you. Here you have the privacy to do whatever you want with your special someone. Imagine having your own villa, with your own pool. Now that is royalty.

4. Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan

Palm trees, exotic flowers and a plunge pool are characteristic of Four Seasons Resort Bali. Each villa is completely private that you can wear anything you want-or nothing at all-and still feel comfortable. These thatched maxi-huts come with a plunge pool and an outdoor shower so you can frolic in cool fresh water all day long.

5. Trisara, Thailand

Personally, I have been to Thailand. And I know it’s a beautiful country-much like the Philippines. But I have never been here. This infinity pool seems to stretch out towards the Andaman Sea. Its crystal clear blue waters looks so inviting you just can’t help but take the plunge.

6. Taj Exotica Maldives

Adding a pool in this beautiful beach would just be wrong. Now it’s time to enjoy nature as it is for a change. This is the perfect honeymoon getaway from newlyweds who want to enjoy each others company-exclusively from morning till night. You can swim with the fish, sunbath in the warm afternoon sun or enjoy a relaxing massage by the sea. This is the place to drop everything and just enjoy.

7. Soneva Gili, Maldives

Soneva Gili in the Maldives reminds me of Dos Palma’s Resort in Palawan. The entire resort is balanced on stilts and that’s why all you see around you is the deep blue sea. I can hear the waves crashing already. Each villa is 1000 feet away from each other so couples really have all the privacy that they want. You can play around in the Indian Ocean or go snorkeling naked. Think of Soneva Gili as heaven on earth.

Aquino urged to voice out human rights on ‘Morong 43’ case

Many people are expecting President Aquino to condemn the detention of Aung San Suu Kyi, a political prisoner from Myanmar, at the ASEAN summit which is to be held in Hanoi, Vietnam. However the president has remained silent about his opinion on the matter. According to Bayan secretary general Renato Reyes Jr., the Department of Justice has submitted its review and recommendations on the said case of the 43 health workers who got arrested last Feb 2 during a raid in a house in Morong, Rizal. But President Aquino has yet to approve it. Reyes adds that the case is now garnering international attention from various rights groups so it would really be great if the president made a decision already.

And once again, the Philippines is in the limelight for some catastrophe of sorts. First, the hostage crisis. And now this? I still think the government moves too slowly. If these prisoners haven’t done anything wrong, I think they should be released already so at least they can spend Christmas with their families. After all, Christmas is around the corner. It is a great time to reunite and bond with out families once again.

My TRQ 2 Experience

I just got back from Manila where I attended Trace Trajano's TRQ 2 Seminar. It was super amazing! My experience there was phenomenal. I was with 300 hundred other people who wanted to learn more about investing in real estate and i did not only learn, I had so much fun as well!

Here are the top 5 things I loved about my experience:

1. I learned so much about real estate from Trace Trajano and his millionaire students.
2. I met other amazing speakers like Larry Gamboa, John Calub and of course my online marketing mentor, Jomar Hilario.
3. I met and (partnered with) people who think big! Just like me.
4. I had dinner with Trace Trajano himself. I really enjoyed dinner since Trace sat on our table and we got to ask him all sorts of questions.
5. This seminar really expanded my mindset and removed some limiting beliefs that I never knew I had.

There's going to be another TRQ 3 seminar next year and I really encourage you guys to join. If you love real estate and want to retire young and rich, just follow what Trace Trajano says and you will become multi-millionaires. But not without effort, of course. Let us all join hands and help Trace create 1 million millionaires. :DD
