Another 4 years have come, and a battle among different nations and people will be tested but not with guns or swords not even those so called technological weapons will be used. Instead the Government of every countries will be sending its finest warrior athletes into the field of sports against other countries to test the will, power, strength, intelligence and stamina to capture that Golden Medallion as every nation wants to be the best and athletes all over the world want to be known as the best in its field of specialty.

This is the Olympics. it was started by Pierre de Coubertin in the year 1890 where it first met skepticism among different individuals, but Coubertin was persistent and in 1986 the FIrst Olympic Games begun in Athens Greece but it was not fully organized as participants were not chosen but came on their own free will wearing only their club uniforms.

Now the year is 2008 and the venue is Beijing for the next Olympic Games which will be held this August of 2008.

Yesterday our beloved President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo signed Republic Act 9504 which exempts minimum wage earners from taxes.

This law targets financial relief to taxpayers in cognizance by the government of the hard times brought by multiple factors, with the examples of  the current rice crisis, oil price hikes and the heightening inflationary pressure on commodities of all kinds and to help reduce the wide tax gap in the taxation of self-employed and professionals.

This Law will take affect after 15 days.

A friend recently gave me insights on what to write about or not to write about. I guess its their opinion or choice as to make sure its a balance idea, which is a good suggestion, but sometimes we need to have a good or bad idea or even a one sided discussion as to have feedbacks or comments and to see what really transpires in a given situations.

A comment is something worthwhile as it could easily give insights for both parties, may it be bad or good a reaction is still a good way to be able to understand both parties. Although I admit its a one sided post but where do you think I could get the other half of the information as it was a discussion between employer and employee.

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before.
The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. ~Rajneesh

Who fed me from her gentle breast
And hushed me in her arms to rest,
And on my cheek sweet kisses prest?
My Mother.
~Anne Taylor

Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one mother the wide world over.
~George Cooper
