Question

Do you believe Melisa Cantiveros was the clear winner of Pinoy Big Brother Double Up?
A few days after Melisa quotMelaiquot Cantiveros was announced as the winner of PBB Double Up, some fans questioned the showing of the vote ranking of the housemates days before the big night.

Answer

The objective way of evaluating the situation is looking back at PBBs rules, policies and regulations. Suspicions stemmed from PBBs management decision to show the vote ranking of the Top contenders days before the big night.brbrThe question to be asked is quotWas there a precedence to this move?quot If this move was done in past seasons of PBB, then we cant accuse that the voting was rigged or that the results favored one contender when the ranking were shown days before the big night. But if this was done the first time, it would really be suspicious since showing the results prematurely could be advantageous to lower ranked contenders while the ones on top would have a false sense of security.brbrNevertheless, the playing field would be more equal, just and fair if the rankings were not shown days before, or at any given time until the Big Night. The mystery and suspense would be a great build up to the climactic big night and it would dispel any doubt to the outcome of the voting. As it is, Melai really gained advantage when the rankings were shown days before the big night. The voting system may not have been rigged or cheated, but her supporters gained that undue advantage of advance information that helped them decide to vote much more than they should have had if they dont have that information.brbrThe supporters of Paul Jake meanwhile thought that they had it in the bag when they saw the results days before that he was ahead in the rankings. They might have voted some more in the last days, but not enough to realize that Melai supporters were bent to catch up with him.brbrThe conclusion is that it may not have been rigged, but the showing if the ranking days before the big night put Melai in the advantage and Paul Jake in the disadvantage. In all, the process of voting was not entirely fair and just.

Do you believe in Aliens? poll?

Question

Do you believe in Aliens? poll?
Do you believe theyve visited Earth?

Answer

I believe in the possibility of alien lifeforms as it would be sheer hubris to think that life, whether intelligent or not, did not exist elsewhere within the universe we live within. Apologies for those who think not but it just seems somewhat selfinvolved, or perhaps a bit provincial to imagine that we are the measure of all things...or for that matter the only planet within our universe to support it.brbrAccording to Nobel prize winning physicist Stephen J. Hawking intelligent life, should it exist in his opinion, would most likely exist outside of a distance of one hundred light years from us. I believe in intelligent life simply for the reason given in the previous paragraph, though as to whether theyve visited Earth considering humanities base nature and the air born diseases that run rampant upon this planet I would guess that it would be better to simply observe from afar. brbrCheers

Question

What comes to your mind when i say quotsilencequot?

Answer

Id say MeditationbrbrImagine yourself standing on the beach, watching the waves rushing to the shore, and then returning back to the ocean. Feel the cool, pleasant breeze, and breath in the intoxicating smell of the oceans water. Tune in to the feeling of calmness that you experience now. Stay with this image and feeling for a while. It is pleasant, isnt it?brbrMeditation relaxes the body, calms the mind, and minimizes tension. After a period of practice, the racing and rushing of thoughts in the mind slow down, not only during meditation, but also in daily life. Happiness increases along the way. Tolerance, love, understanding, inner power and fearlessness increase too. The concentration ability gets sharpened, and the mind become stronger and under control. The ability to enjoy the present moment increases, criticizing and blaming disappears, and strength, happiness and satisfaction increase.brbrTo meditate, we need at least some concentration ability. It does not mean that without proper training in concentration we will not be able to meditate. Even if concentration is foreign to us, we can start practicing meditation. The practice itself will strengthen the powers of concentration. But a prior ability of concentration is a great asset that speeds up our progress.brbrAccording to the teaching of the Indian philosophy of Advaita Vedanta, there is no separate self, all is One. It is only illusion, Maya, that clouds our vision. If we accept this premise, then we can say that the Absolute Self, the One, or whatever name you give to the Absolute principle, quotcreatesquot bodies and looks at its quotcreationsquot through the bodys eyes. This causes the illusion of many selves. The Absolute is One, homogenous whole, but through illusion, delusion, ignorance and wrong thinking there is a belief in separation, of multitudes of units.brbrThe purpose of meditation is to quotunlearnquot all the wrong concepts and come to realize who we really are. This realization may be mental at first, until we really KNOW. We are not the physical body, the ego, our thoughts or our feelings, but something else. By delving inside ourselves, into the feeling or sensation, which can be termed as quotI amquot, we come to know ourselves. It is nothing external or new that we find. This feeling of quotI amquot is always with us. We simply let the mind flow outside, to sense objects, and so quotlosequot this feeling. It is something that has always been, always is, and will always be.brbrLook inside yourself and try to examine and be conscious of the feeling or sensation you have of yourself. I mean just the feeling that you are alive and existing. Concentrate on what you sense to be your essence. This feeling of quotInessquot, is actually always with you, no matter what you are doing or where you are. It is an invariable and continuous factor, but it is clouded by the five senses and by thoughts. It is not something theoretical, metaphorical, or mystical. It is a fact. It is the common experience of everybody. Yet, it is ignored, because the five senses and the mind flow outside, not inside. Do not expect to hear trumpets and walk on a red carpet when you become conscious of this feeling, because it has always been within you, only at the back of your mind.brbrThere is one trap that has to be avoided. Never be attached to any particular kind of meditation. After practicing one technique successfully for a period of time, it is time to move on to some more advanced one. If you stay attached to a technique or method that you have overgrown, you might halt your progress. A competent teacher knows when you need to advance to a more advanced technique, and will show you the way, otherwise you may just stay in the same place. If you do not have a teacher, look at your experiences, listen to your intuition, stay open minded, and you will know when to move on.brbrIt is advisable to practice one technique at a time, and not to jump from one to another. There is no sense in practicing many techniques at the same time.
