Making your non Smart TV a likely Smart TV

Image
I have just learn from my neighbor that you can make your TV a Smart TV. A Smart TV is far more expensive than a non Smart TV but there are ways that can de done without dousing out extra money or do not have the resources for the moment. There are some application that I am still trying out to make use of this new technology. However, the basic requirement is that you have a non Smert TV that has HDMI port. You can find the port at the back of your TV. According the Wikipedia HDMI or the High Definition Multimedia Interface port first came out thirteen years ago on the late 2003. So if your TV was manufactured not necessarily bought on the late 2003 it might have a HDMI port. Why HDMI port because it is where an another device need to be connected. Any casting device can do. There are many casting device in the market today but I am using the Chromecast 2 device.You just have to plug it on and install the application through your mobile phone or tablet using the internet con...

Voices are Heard

“Share ko lang po, observe nyo rin. Nasa Bdesh po ako, pero taga San Pedro po kami. Doon po sa area namin sa Bgy. Langgam me chapel. Ang sermon po dun today ay tungkol daw sa extrajucial killing, simbahan yan at bawat papasok daw po sa loob ng church kailangan pumirma para ma impeach si DDS. Di na po tamahyang mga pari na yan nang gigil po kami sa inis ng mga kapatid ko.”  This is a copy of the text I copied to one of the internet news outlet who are not responsible enough to clarify the issue. Although the Parish Priest of St. Peter, the Apostle in Poblacion, San Pedro City, Rev. Fr. Pablo Bugay and the Parish Priest of St. Joseph, The Patriach of Langgam, Rev. Fr. David Reyes, San Pedro City have already spoken through Radio Veritas  and denied any report of signature campaign to oust President Rodrigo Duterte. The news item was taken from a Facebook page. The text have prompted me to look deeply on our mission to deliver the Word of God to the faithful. We are...

Against Death Penalty and Extra Judicial Killing

Image
The Church has been a voice in the wilderness crying out against the reimposition of the Death Penalty and the blind eye of the Philippine Government on Extra Judicial Killing on its war on illegal drugs since the President Duterte assume office. Since then a lot of explanation has been voice out on the immorality of Death Penalty and Extra Judicial Killing however, I would like to share with you the pastoral letter of the San Pablo Diocese Bishop Buenaventura M. Famadico on such issue highlighting that killing fellow Filipinos is not the solution to the problem.  Ang mga sumusunod na pangungusap ang LIHAM PASTORAL ng Lub. Kgg. Mons. Buenaventura M. Famadico, D.D., Lingkod-Obispo ng San Pablo, para sa Araw ng Pasko (2016): Minamahal kong mga kapwa anak ng Diyos, Ipinagdiriwang natin ngayon ang pagsilang ng Diyos na naging tao. Ang Diyos ay naging tao upang tayong mga tao ay makibahagi sa kaluwalhatian, pag-ibig, kagalakan, kapayapaan at buhay na walang hangga...

Why Smart is no Longer Smart.

Image
Everyday, I am receiving text messages that says it seems like your phone or device is trying to access site not included in your current data package. Yes, my dear friends, everyday. I will include two pictures which shows three consecutive days of receiving the same text message. I am not opening my data because I do not have money to be online every time. So, I say to Smart. Are you serious or you are just have enough time and resources for your unwanted promotional stunts to annoy people within your network? Have we lost our professionalism for the lure of more money for subscriptions? Or it is just a computer glitch that no one in your army of technicians can handle?  Or you are just numb to the customer feedback you are receiving because the other end receiving the calls are outsource call center agents that can be patient enough to hear the ire, grunting and displeasure of customers because it is their bread and butter? My apologies for reading this blog for such a...

From time to time my phone will receive notification of new temporary password, An indication that my twitter account is being hacked.

On Prayers

Image
Not only that today's Gospel speak about prayer on Luke 6: 12-19, but also see today in my email that one of my blogs, Prayer was nominated in one the blog awards here in the Philippines. I will not expect much on this because it was been since I updated it.  I failed to update it for the reason that aside from my religious and pastoral busy, I am researching to find out how to upgrade the mobile application of the same site. it can be accessed both in mobile and desktop at http://frjess.blogspot.com i used the predesigned application maker appgeyser site to make it available as an application. However, I am till looking for solution to make it accessible even without the use of internet. meaning that once accessed online can be written on the phone so that it can be viewed even without the internet. It is possible but what I need is that I would like to learn myself how to do it. I presuppose to learn it immediately but it seems that coding is a meticulous and...

Not all Friars are Padre Damaso!

Image
After this morning, I stumble upon on one of the section in one of the newspaper broadsheet entitled Padre Damaso and the Friars: Myth Versus Reality.Written by Pio Andrade. This is a good information and should open up more information on the good contributions of the friars that shaped the country during the  Spanish Colonization. I am not saying that there is no Padre Damaso. What I am saying is that not all are.The said section can be accessed through this site . Please allow me to repost it here: ‘Padre Damaso’ and the friars: Myth versus reality If the Augustinians, Franciscans, Dominicans and Recollects were mostly evil like Damaso, how was Spain able to hold PH for 350 years with a ridiculously low occupying army? EXACTLY a year ago when Pope Francis visited the Philippines, Carlos Celdran, who claims to be a culture and history guide for tourists and heritage buffs, made a public appeal for the Pope to intervene in his civil case for “offending reli...

Image
My previous post speaks of the site of the livestream of the event of the Eucharistic Congress to be held here in Cebu. I have given you the link so that you can watch it in your browser but to make it available in every smart phone, I decided to make an application of it in android gadgets. I do not have an apple computer to make it to apple store. I hope that the CBCP or Catholic Bishop Conference of the Philippines and the Diocese of Cebu will allow this even I do not have a Written permission from them. Since the link is already available to the public, I am just making it available to all android users so that they can watch it through their cell phones and tablet.

Diocese of San Pablo dot com

Image
Last Monday, Jan 18, 2016, I have noticed that the website of the Diocese is now online again. It was poster here also when it was down before sometime last year. As we celebrate the Year of Mercy, the Year of Family and Eucharist and the Golden Jubilee of the Diocese of San Pablo it is but fitting to use the present technology to the building of the Kingdom of God. To inform necessary plan of action and the activities that has been part of the graces that God continually showers us with.  To warn of the pitfalls that the faithful may encounter as we travel toward to the new promised Land. This is also to strengthen each and everyone to carry the cross how heavy it may be as Our Lord Jesus Christ did. May information concerning our faith activities and programs help us to a deeper relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ who have bother to let himself be known by becoming one of us and to penetrate our very being to be united with Him.

51st Eucharistic Congress 2016 Livestream

Image
As the Celebration of the long awaited International Eucharistic Congress to be held here in Cebu, Philippines is near, the convenors have decided to have it open on live streaming so that it could make it available to the most faithful even for those who could not attain there physically for various reason. Personally, I would like to attain but it is 8 day event that will cover two Sundays. I could not find priest to substitute me if I will go. Some people suggested that anybody could just spent three days for the event. It will be an opportunity lost also and a divided attention if you will not be present for the whole event. it will also be a half baked bread. So it is of great news that the event though we might not really know which event or events will be aired is indeed a blessing.  I will put it also to the sidebars of this blog, and if possible make an application for this sole purpose will also be an added great endeavor.
