THE UNDERTAKER: 20-0 AT WRESTLEMANIA. 3-TIME WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION.

A TRIBUTE TO THE DEADMAN
 

I HAVE CHOSEN THE UNDERTAKER TO BE
 
MY ROLE MODEL
MY IDOL
MY HERO


I HAVE LIVED THROUGH 
THE 22-YEAR CAREER OF THE UNDERTAKER

I FIRST SAW HIM AT WRESTLEMANIA IX
Ceasar's Place, Las Vegas, Nevada 1993

HE WAS FIGHTING THE GIANT GONZALES
A MAN WHO DOES NOT EVEN KNOW HOW TO WRESTLE
EVEN HE WAS IMMORTALIZED BY THE UNDERTAKER

IT IS ONLY BEFITTING THAT
THIS 2012

I WILL WRITE MY TRIBUTE TO THE UNDERTAKER
CEMENTING HIS LEGACY FOREVER

A MAN SHROUDED IN DARKNESS
SHEDS SO MUCH LIGHT TO PEOPLE
ALL AROUND THE WORLD

 
IN THE MATCH PROPER:
Harvey Wippleman (Manager) threw Giant Gonzalez a Rag soaked with CHLOROFORM knocking The Undertaker OUT COLD
The Undertaker was carried out of Ceasar Palace on a STRETCHER
The Giant was celebrating in the Ring.
After 1-2 Minutes...
THE DEATH BELL TOLLS
Green Smoke Appears
The Undertaker groggily comes back to the Ring
Paul Bearer grabbing The Undertaker's Long Hair
Restraining HIM
And Chops down the Giant with 2 Tomahawk Axhandles off the Top Turnbuckle
Then Finishes him off with the Running Clothesline
The Referee disqualifies The Giant for using a foreign object
Awarding the match to The Undertaker

Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, "JR" Jim Ross, Macho Man Randy Savage (TV Commentary Team) STOOD THERE
SPEECHLESS
AWESTRUCK
AMAZED BY THIS RESURRECTED
HUMAN BEING

HEENAN SHOUTS
OH MY GOD!!!
HE IS NOT HUMAN!!!

HE IS NOT HUMAN!!!


IT WAS HERE THAT I MYSELF DECIDED....

I WILL FOLLOW THIS MAN
I WILL FOLLOW HIM WHEREVER HE GOES
HE IS IMMORTAL
NOT HULK HOGAN
NOT THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR
BUT HIM

I CHOSE THE UNDERTAKER
I CHOSE HIM
I KNEW HIM
I BELIEVED HIM
HE WILL BE MY GUIDING LIGHT
THEN
NOW
FOREVER

SORRY
ABOUT THE LENGTHY WRITEUP ABOUT MY IDOL
BUT I AM HERE NOW TO PROVE THIS POINT TO YOU
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN
WE HAVE


 

LANCE ARMSTRONG: CYCLING CHAMPION. CANCER SURVIVOR.

FALL FROM GRACE


In June 2012, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) charged Armstrong with having used illicit performance-enhancing drugs.
In August 2012, they announced a Lifetime Ban from competition and 
Stripping Lance Armstrong of his SEVEN Tour De France Titles.

TOUR DE FRANCE --- THE ULTIMATE CYCLING RACE OF ALL TIME

On August 24, 2012, the United States Anti-Doping Agency stripped Armstrong of ALL competitive results
from August 1, 1998 to present.
On October 22, 2012, Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the sport's governing body endorsed USADA's verdict and confirmed both the lifetime ban and the stripping of titles
(Source: Wikipedia)


THINK ABOUT IT...

LANCE ARMSTRONG SURVIVED TESTICULAR CANCER
A CANCER SURVIVOR
LANCE ARMSTRONG IS BANNED FOR LIFE
SHAMED FOR LIFE
STRIPPED OF ALL HIS TITLES
PEOPLE WILL FORGET NOW
LANCE ARMSTRONG IS A DRUG ADDICT
A LEGACY THAT CAN NO ONE CAN EVER BE PROUD ABOUT

BUT AS FOR ME
I STILL AM PROUD OF LANCE ARMSTRONG
NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY
I LOOK AT THIS GUY'S CHARACTER AND HEART
LANCE  HAS WHAT IT TAKES

BUT YOU SEE
THAT IS ONLY MY OPINION
WHAT ABOUT THE OPINION OF OTHERS
LANCE ARMSTRONG IS BANNED FOR LIFE
SHAMED FOR LIFE
HE CANNOT BE A ROLE MODEL FOR KIDS
ALL OF HIS CORPORATE SPONSORS DUMPED HIM LIKE TRASH






A LEGACY FULFILLED

NARUTO'S PARENTS: Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and Uzumaki Kushina

LEAVING A LEGACY
TO THE NEXT GENERATION
A GOOD LEGACY
AN EVIL LEGACY


WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT
THE LIFE WE LIVE NOW WILL IMPACT 
THE GENERATIONS AFTER US


TO PASS IT ON
TO PASS IT FORWARD
TO YOUR CHILD
TO YOUR CHILDREN
TO THE NEXT GENERATION

WE WILL ALL BE GONE SOON...

I am a Flower Quickly Fading
Here Today and Gone Tomorrow
A Wave Tossed in the Ocean
A Vapor in the Wind

GONE SO SOON....




I JUST WISH
I JUST WISH
I CAN TAKE MY OWN ADVICE
I WISH I CAN DO THAT

I WISH I COULD DO THAT
WHEN THE TIME COMES
I WILL
I WILL BE READY
SOMEHOW

Gaara's WAR SPEECH

Gaara's WAR SPEECH
(NARUTO Shipuuden Episode 261: Ninja World War Arc)




 
   
I LOVE Gaara's SPEECH HERE!!! 
IT REALLY INSPIRED ME!!!
Everybody needs a Savior.
Below is the Speech as Fan-subbed and
Translated from Original Japanese Language





From the First Great Ninja War to the Last,
Shinobi have WOUNDED AND COME TO HATE EACH OTHER
for the benefit of their OWN Nation and Village.
That HATRED led to A DESIRE FOR POWER,
and that DESIRE FOR POWER CREATED SOMEONE LIKE ME.

I too, was once FULL OF HATRED AND POWER!!!
I WAS A JINCHUURIKI!!!
I HATED THIS WORLD and ALL THE PEOPLE IN IT!!!
I constantly thought of NOTHING BUT DESTROYING IT.
I WAS NO DIFFERENT THAN WHAT AKATSUKI IS NOW!!!

However a certain Shinobi from Konoha STOPPED ME! (Uzumaki Naruto)
HE SHED TEARS FOR ME!!!
HIS ENEMY!!!
EVEN THOUGH I HURT HIM...
HE STILL HE CALLED ME HIS FRIEND!!!
HE SAVED ME!!!
MY ENEMY!!!
MY FELLOW JINCHUURIKI!!!
He suffered the SAME PAIN as me, and yet BORE NO ILL WILL!!!
The moment WE UNDERSTAND each other's PAIN, our MALICE WILL DISAPPEAR!

THERE ARE NO ENEMIES HERE!
We are ALL ONE and it is because we have ALL BEEN AFFECTED by Akatsuki!!!
The Sand Village, Stone Village, Leaf Village, Mist Village, Cloud Village...
THEY NO LONGER EXIST!!!

WE ARE NOW ONLY SHINOBI!!!
IF YOU STILL CANNOT FORGIVE THE Sand Village THEN
I WILL GIVE YOU MY HEAD ONCE THIS WAR IS OVER!
OUR ENEMY IS NOW AFTER THE VERY FRIEND WHO SAVED ME!!!
If they capture him then it will be THE END OF THE WORLD!!!

I WANT TO PROTECT HIM!!!
I WANT TO PROTECT THIS WORLD!!!
HOWEVER, I AM TOO YOUNG and NAIVE TO DO SO...
THAT IS WHY...
I NEED ALL OF YOU TO GIVE ME YOUR STRENGTH!!!


To protect our friends and this world, we will fight as one...
Until our dying breaths...

WORSE THAN TRASH

Those who DO NOT FOLLOW RULES are TRASH,
but those who DO NOT CARE about THEIR COMPANIONS 
are WORSE THAN TRASH!!!

I reflected on this statement for some time now and found that it does apply to our Everyday Lives, no matter what the setting is!  Maybe this was what was guiding me all these years....

I believe that this is really A MATTER OF THE HEART...A PERSONAL CHOICE!!!

I have been in the Call Center - IT Technical Support / IT Helpdesk Industry for 12 years now and counting.  From Sykes Asia, Accenture and now Hewlett-Packard Philippines.  

I was never, never ever, able to follow ANY PROCESS that I really did not like at all...I would constantly argue and argue to my Superiors, Team Managers, Quality Analysts WHY?! I needed to follow the Process laid out...when I really felt that there was SOMETHING WRONG!!! I tried my best to analyze myself why I have this kind of behaviour.
* I am very, very proud and happy working in Hewlett-Packard HP now by the way!

Why should I follow YOUR Process, when I can definitely discern and sniff out that you are only fooling/contradicting themselves and making things soooo hard for the customer and myself???!!! Why should I follow your process when it is something that you just made up in your head and wanted to apply to the Helpdesk Policies when it definitely makes NO SENSE AT ALL!!!! You only want this because you are only concerned about the STATISTICS!!!

Maybe that "Something Wrong" was that I really felt for my Customer at that point in time that he/she needs help, he/she needs someone to listen. There is a saying in Basketball that come the 4th Quarter of the Game...you throw ALL the Statistics of the past games and quarters OUT OF THE WINDOW....Whoever wins the has the most HEART! ONLY THE ONE WITH THE MOST HEART AND WHO WANTS IT MORE WINS THE GAME!!!

I was never ever able to get a Passing Mark in my QA Scores....BUT.....I racked up THE MOST NUMBER OF COMMENDATIONS a Month, every Month!  And THAT is what I believe WHAT MATTERS THE MOST! NOT being a STATISTIC but being the RIGHT PERSON at the RIGHT TIME to HELP MY CUSTOMER NOW!  I am very, very proud of doing this....And, I think this is where people get PROMOTED OVER the others! 

A LOT of Commendations = Good Feedback from Customer/Client = A Notification to your Supervisor = A "Nice Job!" Letter = A Good Performance Rating = A Hefty Salary Bonus!
 * A very profound thought...Now that I am writing about it... :)

And now, in my life, in all my ups and downs...I have thought and realized that I can not do things on my own....I need HELP....it has to be a TEAM Concept....a TEAM effort that will get you over any challenge in life.  But still, this Principle still guides me today....TO GENUINELY CARE AND HELP THE PERSON NEXT TO ME!  CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME!

I will try to be a better Teammate, a better Person, a better Team Player. But I still need to HELP and CARE.  And if I can not do that.....then EVERYTHING IS USELESS....I AM WORSE THAN TRASH!!!
