Prayer of an Overseas Worker Father God, it’s so lonely out here. Many times I’ve asked myself why I had to go here in the first place, and why I can’t go back yet to where my heart truly is, where my true happiness resides. Why must I walk these streets alone? Why must I eat this bread without my family? Many sights have so amazed me since I got here and yet no beauty has ever succeeded in wiping away the tears from my eyes. For without my loved ones, what can all these things mean to me? I’d rather be blind, I’d rather tire myself to sleep so I won’t have time to remember, to cry, to long so painfully for the people I love so much. Help me O God. Give me strength to bear such a terrible longing. Give me hope so that the vision of your blessings for my loved ones always be before me. Give me faith so I can cling on that hope on my darkest and loneliest days. Let me never forget the reason why I came here for. Let me never forget who I am and to whom I really belong....

It is worse than making a new paper. Just like making two paper in the same subject with different perspective and sometimes with the almost the same perspective. I stopped that practice and go directly to the point. This is regarding on the viral video that proliferated first in the social media specifically on internet called Facebook about a priest who berated a mother out of wedlock wh...

One of the features of Samsung smartphones is the voice talk. It was to place in par with the Apple Siri. It was first introduced, as far as I know on the launching of Samsung Galaxy SII.
