Psst........sandali

Minsan habang naglalakad ako......... sa kahabaan ng palengke ........ isang babae ang lumapit sa akin sabay sabing "Ano Kamustah na" ........ sagot ko ngiti lang, ang naibigay, sabay sabing

"mabuti naman" . "Excuse me" ... if you don't mind ... Do i know you" . napangiti ulit ang babae sabay sagot ........ "oo naman...... we were classmates before, ADAMSON UNIVERSITY...... remember.

Sa tagal ng panahon ,marami na ang nabago ..kadalasan bihira mo ng marecognize ,pati looks nila.
Kaya ngayon sa tuwing maglalakad ako ...tingin sa kaliwa...tingin sa kanan ang drama ko ..dahil bka kung sino na naman ang makasalubong ko.

Walang pinakamasarap na marinig ...sa bibig ng isang bata ang mga salitang "PO, OPO, SALAMAT PO, at kung anu-ano pang salitang bihi-bihira ng kung marinig.
Sa tuwing mag-uusap kami ng aking mga anak something that made me smile is the fact ,na marinig ko silang magsalita ng "Andyan na PO,Bakit Po,Sandali lang Po at I love you Po"..simpleng mga kataga at pananalita pero ibang level,amg mafefeel ko everytime maririnig ko ito...
Mahirap sa panahong ito na imulat ang mga kabataan,sa ganitong GESTURES,but then ..we need to impart them the right values instilled to us by our elders.
Challenging pero ...rewarding specially if you could hear other people saying....good feedbacks on them.
Minsan mas madali pa ngang magturo sa bata kaysa "matanda".There's an AUGURY to that ..na mas maganda ang future ng mga batang pinalaki sa tamang "Principle"....
ngayon kasi..iba na ang mentalidad at "Perspective" ng tao sa mga bagay bagay.They are "CAPTIVE" by wrong impressions on what is right and what is wrong.
Marami na ngayon ang may"Talangka Mentality" na imbes samahan ka paitaas...hahatakin ka pa pababa...yun bang mga taong .hindi masaya sa accomplishment ng kapwa..
.....yung iba naman walang "AESTHETIC SENSE" - o pandama sa kagandahan...pakitaan mo ng maganda...pagiisipan at sisiraan ka pa....
Naturalesa na yata talaga ng tao yan...parang "Unyango"..nagaadopt sa kinakapitan...
...eto pa...masayang masaya na gawan ka ng "Usap'"Kwento""Tsismis""chika"..kahit tahmik naman ang buhay mo at wala kang sinasabi...pag nangatwiran ka"DEFENSIVE KA"..hay naku....
..Buti pa ang bata..sabihin mo lang"don't say that,that's bad"..never mo ng maririnig..pero ang mga "olds"..paulit-ulit..yung tama..ginagawang mali..ang mali..ginagawang maling-mali..atvdi na maitama..
..dagdag ko pa..ayaw makinig sa"opinion" ng iba.Ang gusto sila lang ang pinakikinggan...PAno naman yun?????...ang hirap diba...

MABUTI PA ANG MGA BATA!
Ito ay opinyon ko lamang...ito ay "realidad" sa pananaw ko.
Kaya't kung maglalakad ka..matuto kang tumingin sa mga taong makakasabay at makakasalubong mo...dahil maaring may malagpasan ka..at sa susunod mong paglalakad ...mamalayan mo "wala ka na palang kasabay"...at napagiwanan ka na pala....
Look-out din sa pagakyat..dahil maaring ang kasama mo sa pag-akyat....ay di mo na makasama sa pagbaba...dahil walang pupuntahan ang taong nasa taas kungdi sa "IBABA"


Pssst...sandali lang po....
umpisa palang po ito.....

Parallelisms....On Hold


Life is full of ups and downs.One moment you are HAPPY..next you are SAD.You cannot control what will happen next in life.But you can be in control of how to react to whatever situations that comes your way.You can choose to be happy or not to be happy.
Ups and downs come in life...no one is spared from it..At different stages in life,all people will surely experience the "storms and stresses" ..that give color and meaning to your lives.This are all realities of life.
If sometimes bad things happen you can choose to be a victim or choose to fight and learn from it.
Life is about choices.Every situation is a choice.You choose to react to situations,you choose how people will affect you mood.You choose to be in good
or in bad mood.The bottom line is that.... it is your choice how you live LIFE.


" It is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them.

"Remember to appreciate people in your life... even yourself if there were no "crack post" life would have been very boring and not exactly interesting. The reason is that beyond the flaws ....and defects lie something unique and beautiful

Under-pressure

You undergo pressure each day, you are place in situations that require you to make decisions.
You have to decide on simple things like what to wear, what to cook, when to start on things to do.
More likely you have to decide on a more complex things, like trying to ask,what which,where am I going to start in the days work.
In other words,you are pressured to come up with a decisions on many things.Each time you do something,decision making is involved.Most of the time,you are faced with situations requiring you to come up with a decision.The more you think about it ..the more it seems for you to make up your mind to come up finally with a decision.
You go through on a busy day 24 hours a day,the more work and thinking done,the more pressurre arise.The challenges and demands of the time drifts you farther and farther.
You always feel pressured because of everything that pre-occupies your day.
Just think that it is all a mater of PERSPECTIVE on how you look at things..look into another angle focus on priorities and manage your time.See things,as they were part of your everyday living.
At the end of the day you will find that you've accomplished everything and be ready to start on another day with POSITIVITY.

Letting Go...............


sometimes we need to ask ourselves,how many times do we have to
find the answers to our questions...why do we need to LET GO.....let go...
of something that wrangled us in the heavy feeling that painstakingly take
the load in our heart.
Letting go is allowing someone or something out of our lives.
"For people who are trapped in pain,heaven promises a time far longer
and more substantial than the time we spent on earth..the bible never
be littles human disappointment..but it does add one key word"TEMPORARY"
what we feel now...we will not always feel..
why do we LET GO?..is there no other way to ease the pain..is there no other way
to bring back what ever is undone?..is there no way of giving the possibility "of
making-up"...lastly..is there LOVE remaining in each others heart to consider
"HOLDING ON"..
..one friend says sometimes we have to let go of someone we really love most'
for us to realize if there's still a chance of Holding on,too painful to accept but everyone has to undergo the pain of letting go.
..another friend quoted..letting go is proper,when you already shown how much
you love a person and yet,still nothing happened.Is it proper,when you know in your heart that you did your part and even part of his heart remains. unreciprocated.
Letting go is not really giving up on what you feel about a certain person..it is sometimes just choosing..to care from a far..to save yourself from trouble and pain..you don't want to get hurt..and have too much trouble.
As for me..letting go is a tough decision every one has to make..before considering something or before coming out of a decision..look into both side.Consider each others opinion,and try to work things out.Forgetting and forgiving is a step..and once you learn to forgive...forgetting follows..accepting someone without changing them.
LOVE is the totality of all...
love is a decision....
love is not only something you feel,its something you do...
but if you think that you've almost done everything..that apart of you is no longer there...the love you feel ..have fallen out..faith and prayers is all you need to overcome...
do not look unto things that you did..do not count the pains you endure..do everything with out expectations in the end you will realize "Love prevails'...

Getting to know Me better....

Getting to know Me better....

Nobody will believe in you...
unless you believe in yourself....
-Liberace
Each of us have our own personality,that best describe ourselves,we have our own
commonalities and individuality that seperates us from others..we our own talents,
capabilities and perspective that shows differently WHO WE ARE...

at times,we fall short of our expectations about ourselves,...before we start getting to
know and understand other people...we need to know ourselves first.

look into the reasons and motives for doing things..so that if you encounter situations
like those,you will be able to work things much easier...and be able to understand others
as well.

accepting yourself as you are.Do not try to be someone you are not.,with all your positive
and not so good traits,characteristics, and behavior.It is treating oneself with kindness.

if you failed,accept your limitations!.,don't think yourself as a failure.

Forgiveness is very important in our life.Be quick to forgive an offense.Do not allow your
self to be a bondage of extreme emotion.holding on to hateful feelings...hinders self growth
that leads you to unhappiness and discontentment.

and it you forgive...accept others without changing them...

Whatever...it is....

Finally,brothers,

whatever is true,
whatever is noble,
whatever is right,
whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely,
whatever is admirable,
...if anything is excellent
or praiseworthy....
think about such things
And the GOD of peace
will be with you.
Philippians 4:8-9
This prayer inspires me a lot,that inspite of the trials,challenges,hardships
that we are going through...let us be thankful for what is given to us,rather
than to complain about what is not given.Be thankful not only for the MATERIAL things,
but also for the TRIALS that come our way...for the CHALLENGES we endure...for it made us a better person everytime we overcome it...and for every DOWNFALLS...for we become stronger
and tougher in this battlefield called LIFE...for at times,God allows us to take off our armour...
for us to feel how it is to feel the pain and be victorious....
To be more like Christ...
Let the peace of God rule our hearts....

"Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial,because he has stood the test,he will recieve
the crown of life that God has promised"

James 1:12

BEING HAPPY

Life becomes more meaningful
when you are able to do things that
you love to do and thus make yourself
happy. in like manner, you feel that your life has
served, has purpose...
every life is a life of purpose
every life is valuable

when you have done something
that has made the lives of others better and happier

success is relative ... it comes
when one is happy doing something
and does it out of love and service
being successful in life is not just having attained fame and accumulating material wealth

no matter who you are
where you come from
or what is it that you want
to do what ever you hope for
is possible
but you need to work for it

being happy
in every thing that you do
having contentment in everything that comes
being happy in others
accomplishments
being happy
in your undertakings
being happy
with thanksgiving
in your heart

"if you want to do something and you
feel like doing it go and accomplish your goal, because if you were not able to do it, you will regret in your life that you failed to do the things you love most..
let the change continue.. for we create our dreams "

TAKE TIME

Take time to laugh
Take time to cry
Take time to think
Think of beautiful things..

Take time to listen
for if you know how to listen
you will profit even from those
who talk badly..

Take time to seek
for in seeking you will find
Take time to give
for in giving you will be given
for in giving you are sharing
what is given to you

Take time to believe
for everything is possible
in this world unless you believe

Take time to forgive
for in forgiving you are forgiven
Take time to pray
for in praying you are in communion
with god
pray not only for those who mistreat you
but pray for all the good blessings
that is given to you

take time to love
for in loving there is giving
for in loving you will learn to believe
for in loving you will learn how to forgive

and if you have love in your heart everything follows
laugh...
cry...
think...
listen...
seek...
give...believe...
FORGIVE...pray
that everything will turn out fine

as you take time

express yourself

EXPRESS YOURSELF

what will you do if you wake up in the morning, not knowing just why
you are feeling that way?
we cannot even explain the reason why we are feeling that way

we have to realize that as a person we need to express
our own feelings and be able to express them... this quite hard hard for others who are not use
to express their emotion, they are not even comfortable
in talking about their own feelings .. in the other way around
others are not comfortable about listening to people about what they feel

when your happy...show it
when your depressed......let it out...
when your angry....tell someone your at rage
when you feel lonely...and you feel like crying then do so...
what you need is to be able to identify exactly what you're feeling are for you to understand
yourself more and for others in the same way to understand you...

Life's challenge

LIFE'S CHALLENGE

People as a whole often get overwhelmed by challenges .. most of the tine they think of this of the immediate reaction to this or as a ''mere parcels of life" that everyone undergoes challenges, trials and adversities instead of moving on, they are wrangled by two afraid to make mistakes, to fall or to be criticize.. maybe they are afraid to show their potentials.....

but the fact....is.... challenges and trials make us better persons. time flies..everything will pass.and if you've won this battle .maybe then you can have all the answers to your predicaments...

Be your own person

BE YOUR OWN PERSON

a human beings uniqueness, not withstanding his/her limitations
predilections, and negative points
has a very important function
in this vast universe

No one is perfect, so the maxim goes
yet, all human existence is important and meaningful
human's uniqueness has both plus and minuses
it propels us to work together
to make our pluses surface and to have our minuses
filled in by another human being

since there are right and wrong acts
there are also good and bad habits
sometimes you get corrected
in this, and if you have not followed
them through you are "Slacked"
then you go back
to your previous ways
the danger with uncorrected habits
is that you might already accept that
this habits are natural to you and cannot
be changed

Something to be grateful for

Something to be Grateful for

God is so good to have blessed us with this life
it is truly awesome to think that
God who created the universe was the same
God who created man according to his image
we can see how precise our God is, considering
how systems of the body, even the tiniest parts
functions together

God is ever faithful...
to his promises
to his words
even at times.. we are
"unfaithful"
we have the privilege of being called
the sons of God
for that I'm forever grateful..

Grateful that i can do things
with God Given strength
that i can overcome things
with God given wisdom
that i may able to live
with a life so full of
"GOD'S LOVE"

Untold

UNTOLD

as we go on with our lives..
so little time but so much to do
we do not have enough time
or a moment to think things through
that no matter how hard we try
things didn't come out as we want them to

on this day, i say
this are the things im going to do..
plans are made... but i cannot get through

have you ever encountered problems..
in your home, at school or at work

have you ever cope with stress
even in seconds..minute or hour

try to stop .. pause take a big breath..
and make things right..

still we tend to fall..
breakdown
drown helplessly, in the pools of our
dilemmas

seldom we can't find
someone who have the strength to sail
or to cross - over to the very deep part where we sail

why because we rely on our
strength, on our will that we can over come
things only by "OUR OWN SELVES"

forgetting that someone is up there..
always there to catch us every time we fall..
protect us...
he is always faithful..although
most of the time we are "UNFAITHFUL"

we always have a choice in life
everything is a matter of choice

you cannot move on..
sail away
if your heart is full of nothing
but things...
likewise..every hurt.. every trials
counts come inside you..
unless
you let them in

all you have to do is look up
and see...
someone is watching "FAITHFULLY"
over you...

Sa Dulo ng BAHAGHARI

SA DULO NG BAHAGHARI

sabi nila lumalabas ang bahaghari sa tuwing matatapos ang pag - ulan...ilang beses kong pinagmasdanang hugis nitong arko, dagdagan pa ng taglay nitong kulay..na tila masayang sinasabing pagkatapos ng unos.. nang ulan... narito ang bahaghari , tanda ng "tapos na" ngumiti ka na...at simulan ang naantala mong ginagawa.. kani - kanilang.. makulimlim ang paligid .. pero sapag labas nitong bahaghari at makita mo ang iba't ibang kulay, ibang liwanag..yung hugis iyang arko.. pagbinaliktad mo di ba't .parang ngiti sa labi mo

kung ikukumpara sa lahat ng pinagdadaanan natin sa buhay.. mayroon ding bahaghari.. na sa dulo nito ay may liwanag..saya...kang mararamdaman sa dulo ng bahaghari ng buhay kung saan pagkatapos ng unos ng ulan, masasabi mong marami pang makukulay na pangyayari ang magaganap.. habang naglalakbay ka sa "journey" ng iyong buhay.. na pagkatapos ng "makulimlim" na sandali ay mayroong liwanag na naghihintay

Isang Lingon sa Aking Kamusmusan

Isang Lingon sa Aking Kamusmusan

nakakatuwang pakinggan sa tuwing maririnig ko ang halakhak mula sa tinig ng aking anak
nagagalak ako sa tuwing makikita anag kanilang paglalarona animoy wala ng katapusan
ang araw sa patuloy nilang pagsasaya sa walang kapaguran nilang pagpapalit - palit ng larong kanilang ginagawa sa buong maghapong nagdaan

sa kabila ng pagkakataon ang anila'y "advance technology" sa pagsulputan ng iba't ibang "gadgets" tulad ng gameboy, PSP, DS na lahat na yata ng bata ay mayroong nanatiling nakakapagpataba ng puso
kapag nakikita kong naglalaro sila ng mga larong minsan ay "inenjoy" ko ring laruin sa aking paglingon sa aking kamusmusan

"patintero", "tumbang preso", taguan at marami pang iba na kung minsan sinsalihan ko pa
"Barbie, "Brats" mga manikang pilit kinukolekta, bagama't may kamahalan, ayos lang lalo pa't ito ang nakakapagpasaya sa kanila
isang lingon lang kita ko na "isang manikang matigas, pumipikit dumidilat ang mga mata - ang tagal kong kasama"

malayo man ang agwat ng pagkakaiba pero isa lang ang alam ko, pareho lang ang naging resulta, "dito kapwa tayo'y naging masaya"
natatandaan ko rin "tau - tauhang maliliit na gawa sa plastik' masaya na bunso kong kapatid , kung ihahambing mo sa ngayon
RC cars at kung ano - ano pang "battery operated cars" na ayaw naming laruin dahilang sa kamahalan at sa takot na ito'y masira, nandun at "nakadisplay" tinatanaw nalang "ok, ok na"

sarap lumingon sa aking kamusmusan lalo pa't nakikita ko, ang patuloy na pagbabago bagama't marami na ang nagdaan, lumipas na ang karamihan
AKIN PARING BABALIKAN
NAGDAAN KONG KAMUSMUSAN

its Hard to be true

madaling magsabi ng I Love you, Mahirap magsabi ng Sorry pero mas mahirap magpakatotoo
