Mister At Misis

So you've decided to transfer to another place in Japan? But you are worried because your friends are busy and there’s no one to help you carry those big furniture and appliances you got through Sayonara sales?

Stop worrying!  You can ask help from house-moving companies.  Yes, some of them are expensive but with the following tips you can still use them without burning your wallets.

The Executive Minister of the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC), Brother Eduardo V. Manalo, ordained another 200 new ministers at the INC’s Central Temple along Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City on February 13, 2010.

Last night, Tokyo had its first snowfall for 2010.  Here's a photo of snow-covered houses taken from our veranda.

Here's a parallel list of holidays in Japan and the Philippines for this year:

In Borland Developer Studio (Delphi 2005), the TRadioGroup component is used to easily create and manage a set of radio buttons on design-time. You can add radio buttons to the TRadioGroup by just opening the object inspector pane and editing the Items property of the TRadioGroup. The strings you add to the Items property represent the captions of the radio buttons that appear automatically within the TRadioGroup.

I was trying to create a new function for our system using Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO). The new function was supposed to manipulate the selected cells of a table in a Microsoft Word 2007 document.

Jose RizalDid you know that Jose Rizal, the Philippine national hero, was non-Trinitarian? If you read the following arguments, you will think you’re reading an Iglesia ni Cristo tract. However, these are in fact from the letters of Rizal to the Catholic priest Pablo Pastells.

"Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the flock over which the Holy Spirit has appointed your overseers, to feed the church of Christ which he has purchased with his blood." - Acts 20:28 (Lamsa version)

There are those who criticize the Iglesia Ni Cristo for their use of the Lamsa version when quoting Acts 20:28. Critics say that the phrase "church of Christ" as written in the Lamsa version is incorrect and that the correct one is "church of God". Furthermore, they claim that there are no existing manuscripts that can be used to support the rendition "church of Christ" and that Lamsa is the only version which contains "church of Christ".

Keitai ChessToday, I downloaded a Chess game software for my mobile phone.　Unfortunately, there is one defect that I found. (FYI, Chess is not widely played in Japan, though they have this board game called Shogi which is very similar to Chess.)

I needed to call my bank in the Philippines. Fortunately, the bank has a toll-free number so I can call them without worrying much about the cost. I checked the toll-free number from the website of the bank and this is what is written:

[Intl. Access Code] + 800-8-631XXXX (I changed the last four digits to XXXX.)
