Subject: MORE QUIRINO AVE/SOUTH SSH DRIVER HORROR STORIES (Always lock your doors)

Those in position to check out or do something about this please do so.. Others just note and take care of yourselves; a reminder for one's safety. For the general commuting public, maging driver ka man o hindi....

Ingat kayo when passing through south super highway corner Quirino Ave.

On our way home from Makati , we took buendia then turn right to south superhighway, it was only 8pm and it was drizzling. we were cruising fine but it was a slow moving traffic. right after san andres st, there are these buildings which are modern version of home along the riles (near the designers depot), my wife screamed because somebody was trying to open the car from her side. sensing that it was locked he moved to the back door and tried to open it likewise, we were stocked in traffic and i was stunned that i could not think of anything to do but just look at him. so when finally the traffic moved he also moved away casually tucking the gun in his belly and staring at me as if saying you are lucky you locked your door. thank GOD my wife is so makulit in reminding me to lock the door evertime we go. kaya to all you people beware of that place. Actually you should be alert & be cautious when passing through south superhighway all the way to Nagtahan.

Three days ago my driver had an encounter in this area. After dropping me off at work, the driver was on the south bound lane of South Super Highway near the home along the riles housing (near Sunday Machine Works and Designer Depot). As he came to a full stop at the San Andres intersection stoplight, a man approached the car's rear passenger side, grabbed the car's antenna and broke it. The man remained beside the car, apparently waiting for the driver to get down and confront him. Fortunately, the driver remembered my dad's warnings regarding these types of M.O.s and remained in the car. As the driver sped away, he noticed a group of men on the center island. It pays to be praning,

Yes, I have witnessed a similar incident, maybe about a month ago, and reported it immediately to Police 117. A young man tried to open the passenger door of the taxi in front of me. About three or four girls were inside the taxi at that time. Fortunately, the door was locked. I pass this route coming from Malacanang every night. Fortunately for me too, my car is heavily tinted so I am not easy prey. I shall call 117 again. I suggest you do the same. Although I don't know if that would really help.

A similar incident happened to me along Quirino Avenue somewhere between the Flying V gas station and Iglesia ni Kristo. 3 men approached my car IN BROAD DAYLIGHT! and SLOW TRAFFIC! and tried to open the back doors. Bumusina ako ng tuloy tuloy to BR ward them off. It's scary 'coz that area has no patrolling policemen. When they failed to open my car, they tried the other cars naman. I don't know kung may nabuksan sila. Then yesterday, while the PMAP rally was going on along Buendia cor. Ayala, as I was about
to cross that intersection, two of the rallyists tried to open my car doors again. Again in BROAD DAYLIGHT! WITH A POLICEMAN AROUND! Hay, what the world has come to. I suggest you lock up and make a lot of noise to at least rattle those thieves.

mga tsong this really happened last wednesday, September sept. 10.... and i hope u would take time in reading this........ I came from makati and was driving along south super highway (osmena hiway) going towards manila area, nung dumating ako sa maliit na bridge before the DESIGNER DEPOT, ung maliit na bazaar of clothes (corner quirino ave and osmena hiway) , if ur coming from makati and u took buendia or pablo ocampo, mauuna ung bridge before
DESIGNER DEPOT ung nasa harap ko is a gold honda civic, all of a sudden may mga lumabas na around 6 or 7 guys who obviously look like squatters who reside along the riles and biglang tinambangan ung civic, pinagsisipa, pinagyug-yug, pinagkukutkot ung susian and they were suc ces sful in opening the doors, tapos nagulat na lang ako isa isa nilang nilabas ung mga gamit na nasa loob nung civic cds, bags, etc. im not sure kung ung driver is a girl or a boy , pero ung driver tinutukan ng kutsilyo... in short parang kinuyob ung civic, btw, ako and ung civic during that time(mga 830 -
9 pm) ay nasa right most ng lane... meaning right side lang namin ung
lakaran ng tao..... after robbing... they immediately jump off the bridge
and went away..... dami nakakita nun pero isang taxi driver lang ang
tumigil to check ung condition ng driver.... nga pala, may oner na nasa
harap ng katabi ng civic, sakay ay mga pulis, 2 lang ata yun,,, naka purple na uniform (manila police)..... . i dont know kung nakita nila yung incident na yun....pero sa tingin ko naman makikita nila yun.... natakot lang dahil 2 lang sila eh and their rusty pistols.... just a friendly warning mga tsong..... kung mag-isa kayo and mejo kita kayo sa loob ng kotse nyo (kahit ano pa yang kotse nyo, luma or bago) try to avoid muna if possible ung osmena hiway at night or better yet try to have another route kasi mejo nagpaparamdam na naman ung mga modus operandi na tulad nun dahil pasko na ulet. if any of u guys have contact sa manila police, paki inform naman sila or just spread this news..... its for all us naman eh... peace!

The Law of the Seed

Take a look at an apple tree.There might be five hundred apples on
the tree, but each apple has just ten seeds. That's a lot of seeds!We
might ask, "Why would you need so many seeds to grow just a few more
apple trees?" Nature has something to teach us here. It's telling
us: "Not all seeds grow. In life, most seeds never grow. So if you
really want to make something happen, you had better try more than
once."

This might mean:
You'll attend twenty interviews to get one job.
You'll interview forty people to find one good employee.
You'll talk to fifty people to sell one house, one car, one vacuum
cleaner,one insurance policy, or a business idea.
And you might meet a hundred acquaintances just to find one special
friend.

When we understand the "Law of the Seed", we don't get so
disappointed.We stop feeling like victims. We learn how to deal with
things that happen to us.Laws of nature are not things to take
personally. We just need to understand them - and work with them.

IN A NUTSHELL

Successful people fail more often. But they plant more seeds.When
Things Are Beyond your control, here's something that you must NOT DO
so as to avoid misery in your life: You must not decide how you think
the world SHOULD be.You must not make rules for how everyone SHOULD
behave. Then, when the world doesn't obey your rules, you get angry!
That's what miserable people do! On the other hand, let's say you
expect that: Friends SHOULD return favours.People SHOULD appreciate
you. Planes SHOULD arrive on time.Everyone SHOULD be honest.Your
husband or best friend SHOULD remember your birthday. These
expectations may sound reasonable. But often,these                
things won't happen! So you end up frustrated and disappointed.
There's a better strategy. Demand less, and instead, have preferences!
For things that are beyond your control, tell yourself: "I WOULD
PREFER "A", BUT IF "B" HAPPENS, IT'S OK TOO!" This is really a change
in mindset. It is a shift in attitude, and it gives                  
you more peace of mind ...You prefer that people are polite ... but
when they are rude, it doesn't ruin your day. You prefer sunshine ...
but if it rains, it is ok too! To become happier, we either need to
a) Change the world, or b) Change our thinking. It is easier to
change our Thinking!

IN A NUTSHELL
It is not the problem that is the issue, but rather it is your
attitude attending to the problem that is the problem. It's not what
happens to you that determine your happiness. It's how you think
about what happens to you!

DREAMS COME TRUE IF YOU PURSUE THEM

Reality forms around your commitments.  The achievement of your goal is assured the moment you commit yourself to it.

Obstacles don't matter very much.  Pain or other circumstances can be there, but if you want something bad enough, you'll find a way to get it.

Plant the seed of desire in your mind and it will form a nucleus with the power to attract to itself everything needed for its fulfullment.

You're never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true.

Tech Joke : SYSTEM UPGRADE

Dear Technical Support:



Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a
slow down in the overall performance, particularly in the flower and
jewelry applications that had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.



In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other valuable programs such
as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, but installed undesirable
programs such as NFL 5.0 and NBA 3.0.



And now Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and House Cleaning 2.6 simply
crashes the system.  
I’ve tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.



What can I do?



Signed,

DESPERATE

Dear Desperate:



First keep in mind;  Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package, while
Husband 1.0 is an operating system.  Try entering the command C:\I
THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and download Tears 6.2 to install Guilt 3.0.  If all
works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the
applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.



But remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy
Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1.   Beer 6.1 is a very bad program
that will create SnoringLoudly.wav files.



Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-Law 1.0 or reinstall another
Boyfriend program.  These are not supported applications and will crash
Husband 1.0.



In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have a limited
memory and cannot learn new applications quickly.  You might consider
additional software to improve memory and performance.  I personally
recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Lingerie 6.9.



Good Luck,

Encouraging Words

Whatever you're facing nöw, whatever test you're undertaking, know that
there is a central lesson to be learned. A lesson that is "designed" to
help you grow into your best possible self.

“The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a
lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches
you a lesson.”

One Minute Reprimand

One Minute Reprimand: (Reprimand the behavior keep the person)

Tell people beforehand that you are going to let them know how they are doing and in no uncertain terms(the first half of the reprimand).
Reprimand people immediately. Tell people what they did wrong, be specific.
Tell people how you feel about what they did wrong and in no uncertain terms.
Stop for a few seconds of uncomfortable silence to let them feel how you feel.
Shake hands, or touch them in a way that lets them know you are honestly on their side
Remind them how much you value them. Reaffirm that you think well of them but not of their performance in this situation.
Realize that when the reprimand is over, it’s over.

One Minute Praising

Tell people up front that you are going to let them know how they are doing.
Praise people immediately.
Tell people what they did right, be specific.
Tell people how good you feel about what they did right, and how it helps the organization and the other people who work there.
Stop for a moment of silence to let them “feel" how good you feel
Encourage them to do more of the same.
Shake hands or touch people in a way that makes it clear that you support their success in the organization.

One Minute Goal Setting

Agree on you goals
See what good behavior looks like.
Write out each of your goals on a single sheet of paper using less than 250 words.
Read and re-read each goal, which requires only a minute or so each time your do it.
Take a minute every once in a while out of your day to look at your performance.
See whether or not your behavior matches your goal.

Thought for the week: Stress Management

    A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience,
raised a glass of water and asked, "How heavy is this glass of water?"

Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g. The lecturer replied, "The
absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold
it."

"If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an
hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll
have to call an ambulance. "In each case, it's the same weight, but the
longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. If we
carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes
increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on."

"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and
rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with
the burden."

"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't
carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're
carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can."
 "Relax; pick them up later after you've rested. Life is short. Enjoy
it!"

KUMIRIRING ang telepono nang madaling araw....

"Hello, Master Carlos? Si Arnaldo po ito, yung katiwala niyo sa
bahay-bakasyunan niyo."

"O, Mr. Arnaldo, ikaw pala. Ano at napatawag ka? May problema ba?

"Um, napatawag lang po ako para abisuhan kayo na namatay ang alaga
niyong
parrot."

"Yung parrot kong si Pikoy, patay? Yung nanalo sa bird show?

"Opo, Master Carlos, yun na nga po."

"Putris ... sayang! Ang laki pa naman ng nagastos ko sa ibong iyon.
Hay,
buhay! Teka, ano nga ba ang ikinamatay niya?"

"E, kumain po kasi ng bulok na karne...."

"Bulok na karne? At sino namang salbaheng tao ang nagpakain sa kanya ng
bulok na karne?"

"W-Wala po. Nanginain po siya ng karne ng isang patay na kabayo."

"Patay na kabayo? Anong patay na kabayo, Mr Arnaldo?"

"E, yun pung mga thoroughbred horses niyo, Sir. Namatay po kasi lahat
sila
sa pagod, kahihila ng kariton ng tubig."

"Nasisiraan ka na ba ng bait? Anong kariton ng tubbbiiiiggggg?"

"Yun pong pinampatay namin ng sunog."

"Diyos ko po! Anong sunog naman yang pinagsasasabi mo?"

"Yun pong halos tumupok sa bahay niyo.... Tumumba po yung isang
nakasinding
kandila, tapos nagliyab yung kurtina at mabilis na kumalat ang
apoy...."

"Ano? Puuut.... E, may kuryente naman diyan sa bahay-bakasyunan, a.
Para
saan yung kandila?"

"Para sa burol po."

"Ano? Kaninong burol?

"Sa nanay nyo po, Sir. Bigla kasi siya dumating dito nung isang gabi,
walang
kaabi-abiso. Lampas hatinggabi na. Akala ko po magnanakaw. Binaril ko.

Caller ID

On a Saturday night several weeks ago, this pastor was working late, and decided to call his wife before he left for home. It was about 10:00 PM, but his wife didn't answer the phone.

The pastor let the phone ring many times. He thought it was odd that she didn't answer, but decided to wrap up a few things and try again in a few minutes. When he tried again she answered right away. He asked her why she hadn't answered before, and she said that it hadn't rung at their house. They brushed it off as a fluke and went on their merry ways.

The following Monday, the pastor received a call at the church office, which was the phone that he'd used that Saturday night. The man that he spoke with wanted to know why he'd called on Saturday night.

The pastor couldn't figure out what the man was talking about. Then the man said, "It rang and rang, but I didn't answer." The pastor remembered the mishap and apologized for disturbing him, explaining that he'd intended to call his wife.

The man said, "That's, OK. Let me tell you my story.

You see, I was planning to commit suicide on Saturday night, but before I did, I prayed, 'God if you're there, and you don't want me to do this, give me a sign now.' At that point my phone started to ring. I looked at the caller ID, and it said, 'Almighty God'. I was afraid to answer!"

The reason why it showed on the man's caller ID that the call came from "Almighty God" is because the church that the pastor attends is called Almighty God Tabernacle!!

If you believe that God answers prayers then pass this on. God bless!


READ EACH SENTENCE SLOWLY AND THINK ABOUT IT.

Love starts with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear.

Don't cry over anyone who won't cry over you.

Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget.

Don't let the past hold you back, you're missing the good stuff.

BEST FRIENDS are the siblings God forgot to give us.

When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your BEST FRIEND will be there.

Nobody is perfect until you fall in love with them.

Send this on to everyone special in your life, even the people who really make you mad sometimes and to the people whose lives you want to be in!!!

And send it back to the person who sent it to you if they mean something to you!! Remember, every minute spent angry is sixty seconds of happiness wasted.
