God of Miracles

Hay naku talaga nga nag-imbag ti Apo. I really thank God for protecting us on our trip going home here in La Trinidad (from Barlig) last May 6, 2009. Bale nagrubwat kami ti mga 10am from Lias, Barlig, Mt. Province(my wife's hometown) ket napigsa tudo from Bontoc enggana ti Atok. Isunga inayad ti panag-drive ni bro Mark Cael (husband of my wife's sister) ngamin nagalis ken saan nga unay makita ti kalsada gapu ta foggy. Idi nakadanun kami ti banda Atok ti mga 5pm ket usto nga madanun mi ti straight curve nga sang-at ket saan nga napupuutan, ada ti nagpaspas nga starex nga kasabat mi, ket siguro gapu ta napaspas bassit suna(Starex-gray color) agpataray, naigalis ket binangga na ti drivers side dyay nagluluganan mi nga Suzuki Vitara(red color).

Naimbag launay ti Apo ta awan ti nadisgrasya ken dakami ken ti side ti nakadungpar, nu man pay talaga nga nadale dyay nagluluganan mi.

Idyay nga pasamak ket talaga nga dakkel ti inpa-adal ti Apo kanyak. Uray gayam napinget tayo nga agserserbi ti Apo ngem nu kuna ti apo nga ti pakatayan tayo ket gapu aksidente ket talaga lata nga mapasamak. Isu nga masapul nga nakasagana tayo nga kanayun ta saan tayo nga kontrolado ti pasamak ti biag tayo. Ta nu mapugsat man ti anges tayo ket nakasigurado tayo nga mapan dyay pagaryan ti Apo.

To God be all the Glory!

Netanyahu Faces Pressure to OK Palestinian State

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits Capitol Hill Tuesday, where he will likely to face questions about his resistance to a Palestinian state.

On Monday, he met with President Barack Obama for more than two hours.

The two leaders focused on Mideast peace talks, Iran' s nuclear program and the U.S. - Israeli relationship. The meeting between the two leaders went longer than expected. The Iranian issue dominated their talks.

The Israeli prime minister was pleased to hear of Obama's timeline for diplomatic progress.

"By the end of the year, I think we should have some census as to whether these discussions are starting to yield some benefits," Obama said.

Differences

But there were differences when it came to achieving peace between the Israelis and the Palestianians. Obama has called for a two-state solution.

"I believe it is in the interest not only of the Palestinians, but also the Israelis and the United States and the international community to achieve a two state solution," Obama explained.

"I think the terminology will take care of itself if we have the substantive understanding," Netanyahu told reporters. "The Palestinians will have to recognize Israel as a Jewish state. It will have to also enable Israel to have the means to defend itself."

Expansion of Settlements

There was also disagreement over the expansion of Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria, the biblical heartland of Israel.

"Settlements have to be stopped in order for us to move forward," Obama said. "That's a difficult issue I recognize that, but an important one it has to be addressed."

Netanyahu is also expected push for aid to Israel when he visits Congress Tuesday.
