On 7th October, 2012 Sunday, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front agreed in Principle to PEACE on the southern island of Mindanao after 40 years of civil war.
Could be that the Muslims there FINALLY believed that without peace, they and their children would just see the world pass by with economic success whilst they would always linger behind. Linger behind not only from the rest of the world but also with the rest of other parts of Philippines.
That thought could come in the number 2 good news for the Philippines, because that following day, the World Bank, which has been downsizing growth projections around the world, raised the growth rate of the Philippines to 5 per cent after the country expanded 6.1 percent in the first half, among the best performing economy after China.
But We know that growth can achieve so much if there is war in the country. After decades of uncertain economic performance , there are signs that their economy may finally going on smoothly .
In July, Standard & Poor upgraded Philippine's sovereign debt to one notch below investment grade- an improvement . Their Foreign Exchange reserves have risen five fold since 2005
3rd Good news, the brain drain to Singapore could become a BRAIN GAIN when they open 2 casino complexes next year. It will be staffed by Filipino managers and resort staff trained in Singapore.
With meaningful effort, from every one, north to south, their country may work as one and bring peace and prosperity- no matter how small to their "PEOPLES COUNTRY" after years of corruption and war.

Nobel Literature winner 10th OCtober 2012
Chinese writer Mo Yan wining the Nobel prize for literature
October 2012 Last updated at 12:49 GMT
The Swedish Academy praised his work which "with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary".
Mo is the 109th recipient of the prestigious prize, presented by the Nobel Foundation, the award - only given to living writers - is worth 8 million kronor (£741,000).
Born Guan Moye, the author writes under the pen name Mo Yan, which means "don't speak" in Chinese.
He began writing while serving in the People's Liberation Army (PLA).
His Chinese novel, Red Sorghum received international fame in 1987
China's filmmaker Zhang Yimou made it into a film on this story of the brutal violence in the eastern China countryside where he grew up during the 1920s and 1930s. It won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival in 1988.
Mo enjoyed writing about China's past rather than contemporary
issues, his novels range from the 1911 revolution,
Japan's wartime invasion and Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution.
Mo had 4 other acclaimed works and one of them, Wide Hips was translated into English later, the book won him a nomination for the Man Asian Literary Prize.
His latest novel, Frog, about China's "one child" population control policy, won the Mao Dun Literature Prize - one of his country's most prestigious literature prizes - last year.
Mo and the other Nobel laureates for medicine, physics, chemistry and peace, will receive their prizes at formal ceremonies in Stockholm and Oslo on 10 December - the anniversary of the death of prize creator Alfred Nobel in 1896.
Mo Yan's Red Sorghum (simplified Chinese: 红高粱; traditional Chinese: 紅高粱; pinyin: Hóng Gāoliáng) is a 1987 Chinese film about a young woman's life working on a distillery for sorghum liquor.
The film marked the directorial debut of internationally acclaimed filmmaker Zhang Yimou, and the acting debut of film star Gong Li. With its lush and lusty portrayal of peasant life, it immediately vaulted Zhang to the forefront of the Fifth Generation directors.
Remember seeing this show and the country side scenery was fantastic.
certainly hope that this award will give rise to more recognition of Chinese literature, and to remember one of China's once great poet, Li Pai

National University of Singapore(NUS) Yong Loo Lin School of medicine's LEad Investigator Dr Chu Jang Hann said that they have identified a method that can kill this virus within three days.
Currently the treatment is only relieving fever and several joint pains
their study shows that a molecular approach could kill the virus completely through an intravenous method, it employs a small hairpin RNA technology (shRNA) designed against two specific CHIKV genes so as to silence the virus replication, which subsequently destroy the virus genes and block their production.
.Singapore last breakout of this case was between 2008 and 2010, where it had close to 1000 cases.
singApraise to this new discovery and hope it will be available to the public especially to Africa soon

SingApraise to today, 4 th October in History
We singApraise to what happened to day in history, the historic event that changes the future of a country and also the world at that time, has been realized and benefited the generation of today
& of course not forgetting the entertainers- singers, actors & actresses that have make so much musics and stories come alive to youngsters like me back then.
1824 Mexico adopts a new constitution and becomes a federal republic. Remember seeing an olde 'VIVA ZAPATA" acted by Marlon Brando , a black & white show, so did Zapata started the Revolution rolling back then ?
1883 First run of the Orient Express & its still running today.
. 1965 "The first Pope to ever visit the United States of America, Pope Paul VI arrives in New York. He later addressed the United Nations General assembly & pleaded for world peace before the United Nations
1903:
Physicist and inventor of the first electronic digital computer, John Vincent Atanasoff born in Hamilton, New York. SingApraise to you ,otherwise I would not be involved now !
1910 Declaration of the Portuguese Republic. The Dethroned King Manuel II fled to Britain. He must have been busy doing unnecessary things that he has forgotten to 'RULE WISELY"
1931: The comic strip "Dick Tracy," created by Chester Gould, made its debut
1967 "Omar Ali Saifuddin III of Brunei abdicates in favour of his son, His Majesty Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah." .He is among one of the outstanding leader now in ASEAN
1905: Orville Wright pilots the first flight longer than 30 minutes. The flight lasted 33 minutes, 17 seconds and covered 21 miles and this later make possible the Space age which came in 1957..
1957: The Space Age began as the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the first man-made satellite, into orbit. The satellite, built by Valentin Glushko, weighed 184 pounds and was launched by a converted Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM). This satellite Sputnik orbited the earth every 96 minutes at a maximum height of 584 miles. It reentered the earth's atmosphere in 1958 and burned up. AND that s how we get our mobile phone to work today
1957: The television series "Leave It to Beaver" premiered on CBS. It ran until 1963, when Beaver was a middle teen
2006: Hubble discovers 16 new planets
Its certainly a rare coincidence that 3 great events happened on this date that gave birth to a new era - the inventor of computers was born, the first air flight and combined these 2 = the space age in 1957

Today in History 3rd October 2012
1226:
St. Francis of Assisi, founder of the Franciscan order, died; he was canonized in 1228
1582: Gregorian Calendar introduced
1605: Li Tzu-ch'eng, Chinese revolutionary who dethroned last Ming emperor born He was a Chinese rebel leader who contributed to the fall of the Ming dynasty. With the help of scholars he organized a government in S Shanxi prov., proclaimed a new dynasty, and sought popular support by giving famine relief and spreading songs and stories lauding his heroic qualities. By 1643 he held much of Hubei, Henan, and Shaanxi provs., and in 1644 he captured Beijing, finding the last Ming emperor dead by suicide. Advancing to Shanhaiguan, a strategic pass on the Great Wall, Li confronted the Ming general Wu San-kuei. Rather than surrender to a Chinese rebel leader, Wu preferred to collaborate with the Manchus. Li was driven from Beijing, and within a year he was killed and his forces were crushed. The new Manchu Ch'ing dynasty rewarded Wu with an independent satrapy in Yunnan and Guizhou provs.
1789: Washington proclaims the 1st national Thanksgiving Day on Nov 26
1803: John Gorrie, invented cold-air process of refrigeration was born.
1899: The patent was issued for the motor-driven vacuum cleaner.
1941:
Singer Chubby Checker born Ernest Evans in Spring Gulley, South Carolina
Have always enjoyed his "Last Twist again", as we still played this song at parties & functions to cheer the atmosphere
1945 Elvis was only 10 years old when he made his first public performance today back in 1945
Elvis was encouraged to enter a singing contest after impressing his schoolteacher with his singing of Red Foley's country song "Old Shep" . The contest, held at the Mississippi-Alabama Fair and Dairy Show on October 3, 1945, was his first public performance.
He dressed as a cowboy, Elvis Presley, then a 10 years old boy stood on a chair to reach the microphone and sang "Old Shep". He recalled being placed in fifth position.
A few months later, on his birthday, Elvis received his first guitar ; he had actually hoped for something else, by different accounts, either a rifle or a bicycle. But that guitar leads him on to be a great singer.
1990: That year was the Happiest News for Europe- West Germany and East Germany ended 45 years of postwar division, declaring the creation of a new unified country with 78 million citizens . Soon after that, the Soviet Union was disintegrated .And Germany has came a long way since then .
The present Chancellor was from East Germany
1994: South African President Nelson Mandela addressed the U.N., urging the world to support his country's economy. Looking at how successful the World cup was held, South Africa has indeed came along way
2005: US rejects EU proposal to give Internet control to the UN. If Internet control has been given to the UN, that might be the end of free flow of news and information ?

as the 2nd October was Gandhiji's birthday, we would like to share a small part of his greatness in OUR GOOD NEWS ..
It was good that Jesus "occassionaly" send a living SAINT to earth . in the 9th Century, there was St Francis of Assisi who disowned his fathers wealth and clothed himself in a paupers sack. He reminds the world that the poor should not be forgottenMahatma Gandhiji's View on ChristianityWhy I didn’t become a follower of Christ
If not Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, the Indian Independence struggle would have taken longer with more bloodshed, division and war.
When senior leaders of the Hindu political groups urged Gandhi to respond 'violence with violence' and 'sword with sword', he opposed insisting and exhorting the path of non–violence and peace, which was Gandhi's biggest sword to combat the trained and fully equipped forces.
For sure this great man is one of the most respected leaders of modern history, for not only his life, but also his ideals and his message to the people.
Although Hindu, Gandhi had a very close connection with Christianity and admired Jesus very much, often quoting from his favourite 'Sermon on the Mount' chapter in Mathew 5–7.
When the missionary E. Stanley Jones met with Gandhi he asked him,
"Mr. Gandhi, though you quote the words of Christ often, why is that you appear to so adamantly reject becoming his follower?"
Gandhi replied,
"Oh, I don't reject Christ. I love Christ. It's just that so many of you Christians are so unlike Christ."
“If Christians would really live according to the teachings of Christ, as found in the Bible, all of India would be Christian today,” he added.
Gandhi's closeness with Christianity began! when he was a young man practicing law in South Africa. Apart from being attached with the Christian faith, he intently studied the Bible and the teachings of Jesus, and was also seriously exploring becoming a Christian, which led him to his discovery of a small church gathering in his locality.
These strongly entrenched Biblical teachings have always acted a panacea to many of India's problems during its freedom struggle.
After deciding to attend the church service in South Africa, he came across a racial barrier, the church barred his way at the door.
"Where do you think you're going, kaffir?" an English man asked Gandhi in a belligerent tone.
Gandhi replied,
"I'd like to attend worship here."
The church elder snarled at him,
"There's no room for kaffirs in this church. Get out of here or I'll have my assistants throw you down the steps."
This infamous incident forced Gandhi to never again consider being a Christian, but rather adopt what he found in Christianity and its founder Jesus Christ.
In this century, there were two living Saints in the person of
- Mother Teresa of India who took in and care the unwanted children and the old and
- the late Pope John Paul II, who many believed brought down communism in his native country- Poland and soon to follow, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and finally the Soviet Union.
These both have brought much love and peace to our world

Anorexia
Read from Todays' Newspaper 1st October,2012
that Ms Emma O'neil at the age of 22,was so thin that lying on a bed left her bruised and her doctor said she was suffering the worst case of anorexia they had seen.
Now eight years on and back in full health, Ms O'neil ,from Glasgow has set up A FOUNDATION with two friends, who has also battled anorexia, to help others who are recovering from an EATING DISORDER.
sad to know that her worried family and medics had to begged her to eat and up to four nurses had to hold her down to force feed her. only when she collapsed while trying to run across a road , almost being hit by a car that she decided to start her long road to recovery.
It all started when she was a teenager. She said that she had a very addictive personality and trying to see how thin she could get.
A lot of teenager does not know that anorexia may cause death. SKINNY is not beautiful, going to that extreme actually makes a beautiful teenage girl looks like a walking skeleton.
Eat well, exercise and FITNESS is the only way to beauty.
Hi Emma , happy with yr passion to help other anorexia sufferers and you and your two friends 'THE ONLY WAY IS UP FOUNDATION" is a move to the right direction

Now eight years on and back in full health, Ms O'neil ,from Glasgow has set up A FOUNDATION with two friends, who has also battled anorexia, to help others who are recovering from an EATING DISORDER.
sad to know that her worried family and medics had to begged her to eat and up to four nurses had to hold her down to force feed her. only when she collapsed while trying to run across a road , almost being hit by a car that she decided to start her long road to recovery.
It all started when she was a teenager. She said that she had a very addictive personality and trying to see how thin she could get.
A lot of teenager does not know that anorexia may cause death. SKINNY is not beautiful, going to that extreme actually makes a beautiful teenage girl looks like a walking skeleton.
Eat well, exercise and FITNESS is the only way to beauty.
Hi Emma , happy with yr passion to help other anorexia sufferers and you and your two friends 'THE ONLY WAY IS UP FOUNDATION" is a move to the right direction
