When Will Be The End Of The World - 2012?

I just read an articles which seems a puzzle for me. I wonder what will happen in the year 2010 onward. What is the relation of the Mayan calendar with the year 2012? They said that the Mayan will end in the year (2012) and so, that will also be the end of the world. Do you believe?

My faith start to shake. I'm starting to asked myself if I would be ready to go. If that would be the end of our faith, then why not start repenting now. Why am I afraid?

I know there will be end to this world. The Bible has proved a lot of things concerning to come. Even the Prophets of old had prophesied what would happen in these last days. Our forefathers had seen them and warned us to start believing and repent of our sins. Signs were given and more signs will come. But those who are seeking for signs are merely sinners who are keeping that for themselves though not all, for some have faith in God and have walked in His ways.

I'm afraid because my faith is waving, shaking and not constant in the ways of God. Whether the end of the world will come sooner or later, what we should do is be prepared spiritually. We should be steadfast and do that which is right in the sight of our God. Let us reminds ourselves more often that we are commanded to renew our parths and go and serve God. Teach our children to love God and obey his parents.

If that end will come, it only signifies that what the Lord had said he also fulfilled. He doesn't lie and never will! He has given us so much chances but we ignored them. We have read that "He will come as a thief in the night", so let us be watchful indeed. We don't know what time He come and so, the end of this world we can't discern. We can't say to the Lord "don't come yet, gives us another chance". So let us remember always that He came to fulfill everything that is written and or cause to be written.

Let seek the Lord and not afraid.....for He is merciful and just.

Common Visa for ASEAN Countries

Aiming for more investment, our country is pushing for the adoption of a common visa for South East Asian Nation (ASEAN).

Well, I hope this would push through! In fact, as I understand, the purpose behind is to enhance huge opportunities in trade, investments and tourism where members will benefit from it. As explained by the said Bureau of Immigration Commissioner, foreigner can travel freely to ASEAN member-country without the need to secure an entry visa. Certainly, this would be a great opportunity among its people to travel ASEAN countries. But what about some safety measures concerning health and terrorism?

Good if all members will cooperate and participate and that their vision to make one ASEAN community will materialize in 2015 as envisioned by its charter. More jobs will be created and people will be more acquainted with ASEAN neighbors than before.

I hope this will lessen some corrupt practices in our government where they will be subject for critism especially in the processing of papers. Few government agencies are too slow to respond during the processing of papers and a lot of requirements are asked upon individual. Sometimes they just do it to prevent a person from acquiring a visa or may asked someone to make a deal if not caught.

I hope some government official will not take advantage of it to enrich themselves through some corrupt practices!
