The Happiness I Feel at Your Achievements

The happiness I feel at your achievements
Reflects the happiness you feel at mine.
Friends expand the pleasures of such moments,
As mine in yours, and yours in mine, combine.
The same when we look forward to our futures:
So much more unfolds when there are two!
Populating your proposed adventures
Gives me a joy that mine must give to you.
We've been through much, and will be through much more,
But traveling together is more fun.
Whatever life and love may have in store,
Two is always preferable to one.
Your graduation thus becomes my pleasure:
Your happiness is mine, a double treasure.

~ Nicholas Gordon

till death do us part

A girl and a boy
were on a motorcycle, speeding through the night. They loved each other a lot..

Girl: "slow down a little.. I'm scared.."
Boy: "No, it's so fun.."
Girl: "please..it's so scary.."
Boy: "Then say that you love me.."
Girl: "Fine..I love you..can you slow down now?"
Boy: "Give me a big hug.."

The girl gave him a big hug.

Girl: "Now can you slow down?"
Boy: "Can you take off my helmet and put it on? It's uncomfortable and its bothering me while i drive."

The next day, there was a story in the newspaper. A motorcycle had crashed into a building because its brakes were broken. There were two people on the motorcycle, of which one died, and the other had survived......

The guy knew that the brakes were broken. He didn't want to let the girl know, because he knew that the girl would have gotten scared. Instead, he was told the last time that she loved him, got a hug from
her, put his helmet on her so that she can live, and died himself...:(

Life is not measured by the breaths we take,
But by the moments that take our breath away..

acceptance

Lets face the truth that there are some kind of idiot like me whose so afraid to get mistakes. I do love to be corrected, but it just hurt at first. Lets face it, we can easily say that we love to be corrected, but its kinda hard to digest it at first. I know I am right, we often get mad to the people who's correcting us, but in the end, we realized that they are right. Sometimes, due to pride, we keep it ourselves and never thanks them for correcting us...

Recipe For Happiness

Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it was coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine.

I got to thinking one day about all those women on the Titanic who passed up dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cut back. From then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible.

How many women out there will eat at home because their husband didn't suggest going out to dinner until after something had been thawed? Does the word 'refrigeration' mean nothing to you?

How often have your kids dropped in to talk and sat in silence while you watched 'Jeopardy' on television?

I cannot count the times I called my sister and said, 'How about going to lunch in a half hour?' She would gas up and stammer, 'I can't. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday, I had a late breakfast, It looks like rain.' And my personal favorite: 'It's Monday.' She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together.

Because Americans cram so much into their lives, we tend to schedule our headaches. We live on a sparse diet of promises we make to ourselves when all the conditions are perfect!

We'll go back and visit the grandparents when we get Steve toilet-trained.. We'll entertain when we replace the living-room carpet... We'll go on a second honeymoon when we get two more kids out of college.

Life has a way of accelerating as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all we have to show for our lives is a litany of 'I'm going to,' 'I plan on,' and 'Someday, when things are settled down a bit.'

When anyone calls my 'seize the moment' friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas.. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and you're ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Roller blades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord.

My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. It's just that I might as well apply it directly to my stomach with a spatula and eliminate the digestive process. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-Decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy.

Now...go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to......not something on your SHOULD DO list. If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?

Have you ever watched kids playing on a merry go round or listened to the rain lapping on the ground? Ever followed a butter fly's erratic flight or gazed at the sun into the fading night? Do you run through each day on the fly? When you ask ' How are you?' Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done, do you lie in your bed with the next hundred chores running through your head? Ever told your child, 'We'll do it tomorrow.' And in your haste, not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch? Let a good friendship die? Just call to say 'Hi'?

When you worry and hurry through your day, it is like an unopened gift....Thrown away..... Life is not a race Take it slower. Hear the music before the song is over.

It's National Friendship Week every week. Show your friends how much you care. Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND. If it comes back to you, then you'll know you have a circle of friends.

To those I have sent this to... I cherish our friendship and appreciate all you do.

'Life may not be the party we hoped for... But while we are here we might as well dance!'

lets grow old together

A gentle word like a spark of light,
Illuminates my soul
And as each sound goes deeper,
It's YOU that makes me whole

There is no corner, no dark place,
YOUR LOVE cannot fill
And if the world starts causing waves,
It's your devotion that makes them still

And yes you always speak to me,
In sweet honesty and truth
Your caring heart keeps out the rain,
YOUR LOVE, the ultimate roof

So thank you my Love for being there,
For supporting me, my life
I'll do the same for you, you know,
My Beautiful, Darling Wife.

- David G. Kelly -

move forward, fly high

The higher you wanted to fly,
the painful it will be when you fall down.
So secure your wings and check the wind.
Learn the dance of the sky
to glide properly with the clouds
and the other birds.
Some birds are harmful
and some are just nice.
Just like life,
there are also tricks up way there,
there are birds that looks so harmless
but really attacks like an eagle
so-hungry attacking an innocent chick.
The pressure up there is not that nice
so bring a lot of your comfort-air with you.

The weather is not like a green house weather
that only provides the warmth you need
and the coolness to make you stay crisp.
Sometimes, there's this shower rain
that will clean you up
from the dust you have encountered through the journey.
There will also be a day
that rain seems like to stay forever.
A storm is not banned to come,
like the cycle of the water,
storm is scheduled to precipitate your wings
enough water and coldness.
But dont loose hope,
you cant have a 365 rainy days for a whole year.
Sunny days are meant to dry your wings
and provide you enough warm
to gather the strength
you had lost during the cold winter
and rainy seasons.
Be careful of sunny days,
sometimes, sun comes with a heat
that will burn your perseverance
to soar more up high.
Just because you got wings,
the sky isn't a home for you,
you should also learn to touch the ground
to familiarize its roughness for your feet,
so you wont feel alienated during windy times
that you have to stay under a cave for a shelter.
Or when storm comes,
at least you know how to walk grounded.

Its a pleasurable thing to learn to soar up high,
but its also a must to learn to live the life on ground,
because the life,
just like wheels,
isn't always on top.
Up and down, there's no difference.
Life is more fun
if you know how to deal with its tricks.
You just have to be prepared,
and don't be afraid to take the risk
and always move forward.

Remember,
"There's no one principle that governs the whole society."

kwaderno sa dilim

kwaderno mo ako noon, sana'y alagaan mo pa rin ako ngayon

hinanakit sa dilim, isang tinig mula sa maalikabok na imbakan.

Matagal-tagal din tayong nagkasama. Halos isang taon din diba?Naaalala ko pa na tuwing umaga, tinitingnan mo ako, kung ok lang ako. Sinisigurado mong kasama mo ako sa pagharap mo sa bagong araw mo kasama ang iyong pinakakinatatakutang guro. Pagkapasok ng guro mo sa silid aralan, tinitingnan mo ako kaagad. Natatakot kang harapin ang masungit mong guro ng hindi ako kasama. Alam mong pagwala ako, makakalimutan mo gagad ang mga itinuro sa iyo ng titser mo kahapon. Sa tulong ko, naaalala mo ang mga aral na itinuro kahapon ng guro mo. Tuwing hapon, ako pa rin ang kasama mo hanggang sa uwian. Sa paglisan ng mga kaklase mo, at isa-isa ng mag-uuwian sa kani-kanilang tahanan, madalas ako ang naiiwang iyong kasama hanggang sa pagdating sa bahay. Di ba nga minsan napagalitan ka ng nanay mo nung minsang hinayaan mo akong mabasa ng ulan. Sa inis mo ibinalibag mo ako. Ang sakit ng katawan ko nun. Halos manglupaypay ako. Pero labis ang pangangailangan mo sa akin, hindi mo ako kayang kallimutan na lang basta-basta. Kahit anong mangyari, ako pa rin ang kailangan mo. Akin pang nahihimay sa aking gunita, na tila habang buhay ng idinikit sa kabuuan ng aking alaala, ang mga panahong, dahan dahan mo akong hinahawakan ng nanginginig pa ang iyong kamay sa tuwing dadaan ang iyong lihim na iniirog. Sa tuwing mahinhin na ngingiti ang iyong sinisintang binibini.Na kapag hindi mo naiintindihan ang leksyon ay sinusulat mo sa akin anng kanyang pangalan at tuwang tuwa ka habang nakangiting ginuguhit ang mga hugis puso sa paligid ng pangalan ninyong dalawa ng magandang binibini. Masaya rin ako sa tuwing nakikita kitang masaya.

Luha at ngiti ang pinagsaluhan natin ng halos isang taon. Iniingatan mo pa nga ako na huwag magasgasan upang mapanatili ang aking kalinisan. Ayaw mo akong ipahiram sa iyong mga kaklase na tamad magsulat.NUng huling pagsusulit, pinag-agawan ako ng mga kaklase mo para makapag-aral din silang mabuti upang maibsan ang pangamba na baka bumagsak sila at hindi makakuha ng diploma pagdating ng pagatatapos. Ngunit hindi ka pumayag, ayaw mong mapunta ako sa mararahas na kamay na hindi marunong mag-alaga ng gamit.

Magdamag kang nag-aral kasama ako. Nais mong matumbasan ang pag-aalaga ng mga magulamg mo sa pamamagitan ng pagkuha ng matataas na marka sa mga pagsusulit. Kung maaari lang akong sumigaw at sabihing, magpahinga at umidlip ka naman upang makapag-ipon ng lakas para sa pagsusulit. Kung pwede lang kitang kalabitin at sabihing magpahinga ka naman saglit upang hindi ka mangarag pagdating ng pagsusulit. Ngunit sadyang wala akong kapangyarihang baguhin ang estado ng buhay ko, sapagkat ako ay isang abang pipi lamang, ginawa upang matulungan ka sa iyong pag-aaral at hindi para makialam sa mga disisyong iyong gagawin. Mugtong mugto ang iyong mga mata kinabukasan, dinaig mo ang namayan na magdamag na umiyak. Subalit matatag ka, likas sa iyo ang pagiging matapang at malakas ang loob. Sa kabila ng pagpupuyat, nakangiti kang pumasok sa eskuwela at taas noong ipinasa ang pagsusulit. Di man nagyayabang, labis ang tuwa mo nang batiin ka ng iyong iniirog na binibini. Lalong lumakas ang iyong loob na siya ay haranahin upang makamit ang kanyang ginintuang "oo" na makapagpapasaya ng mundo mo kung papalarin.Abot tenga ang ngti mo sapagkat alam mong malaki ang tsansang sasagutin ka ng iyong sinisinta sa taas ng marka mo. Paparating na ang pagtatapos. kumukunti ang mga aralin, pumapasok na lang kayo upang pagsanayan ang kantang iaalay niyo sa darating na pagtatapos.Madalang narin tayong magkasama. NI halos hindi mo na nga ako magawang dalawin sa ating tambayan. OO. parang nasasaktan ako na tila ba nakalimutan mo na ako kaagad. ang bilis naman.

Dumating ang pagtatapos, nagkamit ka ng maraming medalya. Sinagot ka na rin ng iyong iniirog na sinta. Ang saya saya mo noon. kitang kita ko. Ngunit hindi mo na kinikwento sa akin ang lahat ng mga yun. Marami ka nang kakuwentuhan, at hindi mo na ako kailangan. Dinaramdam ko ang pagkawala ng masaya nating samahan. Ako ngayon ay nag-aaral lumangoy, upang hindi ako malunod sa ilog ng luha na aking tinatahak ngayon. Nais ko man ngunit di ko mapigilan ang pagdaramdam ng aking damdamin.

Ngunit ako'y hindi marunong magtanim ng galit. Ako'y walang karapatang magbalangkas ng hinanakit sapagkat pag-aari mo lang ako. Gayunpaman, ako'y natutuwa sapagkat kahit di mo na ako kasakasama ngayon, naandito parin ako sa iyong kwarto, nakahimlay kasama ng iyong mga pinakaiingatang mga gamit, na tulad ko ay mga piping saksi ng iyong mga tagumpay sa likod ng mga luha at hinagpis sa iyong pagharap sa mga pagsubok. Subalit sadyang mabilis ang pag-inog ng mundo. Bagamat nasa kamay ng tao ang pagbabago sa halos lahat ng aspeto, hindi natin mapipigilan ang natural na mga pagbabago sa ating kapaligiran kaakibat ng pagdagdag ng mga bagong kakilala at kaibigan na maaring makakadagdag sa pagbabago ng galaw ng iyong mundo.

kolehiyo ka na, bago lahat ang mga gamit mo, at kasama ako sa papalitan mo. May bago ka nang makakasama. Tuluyan mo na akong kinalimutan, inalis mo na ako sa study table mo. Higit pa roon ay ipinalagay mo ako sa bodega, kasama ng iba pang mga lumang gamit na iyo na ring pinaglumaan. Hindi ko mapigilan ang bugso ng damdamin ko. Labis akong nalungkot. Hindi ko akalain na makakalimutan mo kaagad ang halos isang taon nating pinagsamahan. Nakakalimutan mo na ba ang mga panahong nagtagumpay ka dahil kasama mo ako? Alam mo ba na kahit kailan ay hindi ko ipinagkalat ang mga lihim na sinulat mo sakin? Hindi ako ng katulad ng iba mong kaibigan na ipinagkakalat ang maseselang bagay na lihim mong itinago. Akin pang naaalala lahat ng sinulat mo sakin, wala akong ni isa na nakalimutan.

Ganunpaman, mahal kita. Pag-aari mo ako at ako'y iyo lamang habang buhay, huwag mo lang sana akong ipamigay. Darating man ang araw na maaalala mo ako, bukas ako para sa iyo. Pagdating ng panahon na hahanapin mo ang mga kopya ng mga leksyon mo nung hayskul ka pa lamang, andito ako nakahandang bukalatin mo. Sapagkat ang mga dunong na iyong itinago sakin ay magiging walang silbi, hanggang hindi mo ginagamit. Dahil nagiging makapangyarihan ang dunong sa puntong ito ay ginagamit.

Sapagkat ang katalinuhan na tumatakbo sa isipan, ay nagiging kaalaman kapag ito ay naitala sa aklat na nagiging dunong kapag nabasa at nagkakaroon ng kapangyarihan na baguhin ang takbo ng bawat isipan ng mausisang nilalang na nagnanais at naghahanap ng pagbabago at kaganapan sa mga letrang naisulat sa mga lathala na pawang para sa ikabubuti ng lahat. Ngunit tila hanggang sa tanikala lamang ang mga iyon at kailanman ay walang iisang madaliang paraan upang maisakatuparan ang ginintuang panukala na umiinog sa matatabang utak ng mga tinaguriang abang manunulat.

Ang mga bagay at lihim na diwa na minsang inyong naisulat sa akin ay kailan may hindi na mababago hanggang sa iyong pagbalik upang ayusin at pamatnugutan ang mga alaalang iyong naisulat dito sa isang lumang kwaderno na ngayon ay iyo na lamang itinabi dito sa madilim na bodega na imbakan ng mga kinakalimutan ng mga alaala.

Ako ay matiyaga at mapakumbabang maghihintay sa iyong pagbabalik upang muli ay buklatin, banghayin at iguhit na muli sa himpapawid ang ngiti sa iyong gunita nung tayo ay magkasama pa. Iingatan mo pa sana ako, sapagkat akoy mapapakinabangan pa ng iyong susunod na henerasyon. Upang sa ganun ay mapakinabangan nila ang iyong sipag na magtala ng mga mahahalagang bagay sa kasaysayan dito sa iyong abang kwaderno.#

contented love

I cherish those moments when you would glance at me while doing something in your computer. Those tantalizing eyes that shows your soul, melts me every time you look my way. When saying something, those eyes told me that you are honest enough for me to say yes even if sometimes I don’t get you clearly. Your look melts my worries away. That even around those pretty girls, I will stand out the best, for I am the apple of your eyes.

I visualize your face as a painting boldly sketched to deliberately show its message. Those checks tanned just enough to provide manly color to your soft face. You may not look like those ghosts like stars in the movies, but your face shines like a smiling sun on my cloudy day. Your smile, the warmest and the sweetest I have known, starts and completes my day. Assuring me to face the world, your smile gives me security from those insecurities and lack-of-confidence times.

It feels like I am watching a waltz show every time you are near doing your things, and walking around. Your feet glides smoothly as you walk, with your hands sway in a rhythmic pattern. When you turn around, it looks like you are looking for your partner in the dance floor while waiting for her to hold your hand and sway all the way round the dance floor. Your shoulders though not buckled-up with muscles are strong enough to support your girl as you slowly spin her, examining her full beau.

The chest is always ready to catch her just in case both of you do a wrong step.

I treasure you like a sweet kiss that woke me up in the morning. With the pink sky that welcomes my sleepy eyes. Your warm smile burns the cold feeling in the morning. I hear your voice as a song sang to me by the angels when you called me to say that you are coming to stay in the night and that we will eat the ever romantic simple dinner you will prepare.

Your scent, I can still smell in the pillow you used last night. Lingering through the room it keeps as my companion when you’re out for work.

..............whoops...it’s just a dream.....

………….time to wake up.......

You are quietly lying beside me, with your face as innocent as ever. The fact that I woke up today with you by my side, made my day secured. Away from those worries that you might leave me and will never come back. That I wasn’t mistaken when I told myself I will grow old with you. That you will wait every time I’m late. That even if you will be late, you will still come. You won’t promise (because they are made to be broken), instead you will tell me you will love me no matter what.

Hay...

tnx to..

mystery of the morning

Morning Dew

Every morning as I slowly awake
to the warm glow of sunlight
I thank the Lord for the gift of life.

I anxiously await the exquisite moment
when my eyes meet the misty mountains
bathing in fresh rays of sunshine.

My heart is tamed by the glory of creation
I can only see eternity and breathe serenity.

How truly euphoric it would be
If we could walk together
barefoot amidst the dewy canopy of green
blessed by the purity and innocence of a new morn.

footprints on the moon

Never tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

why you should not quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about

When he might have won had he stuck it out;

Don't give up though the pace seems slow--

You may succeed with another blow,

Success is failure turned inside out--

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems so far;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--

It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

FRIENDSHIP QUIZ

You don't actually have to take the quiz. Just read straight through, and you'll get the point.

Take this quiz:

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the top five news stories five years ago.
3. Name ten presidents or leaders of the biggest countries in the world.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor or actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel, appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
6. Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you. Easier?

The people who make a difference in your life are not the most powerful ones, nor have the most money or awards. They are the ones that care.

Size Of Your Heart

It isn't the size of your house as such
That matters so much at all.
It's the gentle hand and its loving touch,
That make it great or small.

The friends who come and the hour they spent
Who out of your house depart,
Will judge it not by the style you show,
But rather by the size of your heart.

It isn't the size of your head so much,
It isn't the wealth you found.
That will make you happy -- it's how you touch
The lives that are all around.

For making money is not hard --
To live life well is an art:
How people love you, how they regard,
Is all in the size of your heart.

i cant remember the site.
i just found this on my notepad...
isn't this great?...

Less Traveled.

Being a traveler is not a hard hobby. It was not just looking for the hidden paradise this country has. Traveling was not just meant for the pleasurable purposes.Traveling do not just include beaches, cliff, mountains, falls, and so much more exotic exciting sites.

It is to see every abstract thing that every site bear. Only a few travelers travel into remote and squatters area. Who would travel in a muddy and odorous areas to see whats happening in a very simple life of squatters family.

Behind tall buildings and big malls surrounding our country, are the crowded houses scattered in the remote areas. With thin and rusted roof, hardened papers as their walls and an empty rice box. A couple with three siblings dwells in poverty and struggles to live life as easy as they can.

Every morning, before anything else, they would fetch water first.Five pesos for every 2 containers. A budgeted water for the laundry, for taking a bath, for dishes, and for all domestic use. Thirty pesos for a container of safe water, potable enough to substitute for every meal they've missed.

After an early breakfast, all members of the family gotta get a job even just for that day, to survive for the next. No one goes to school. Only some lucky ones goes to school, but would immediately stop in middle high school or even without graduating elementary because of poverty. The father and the mother tries to sell something eatable delicacies in the street, joining the busy crowd to look for some food. To compete with other vendors in the street too.

While the elders are busy hunting for coins to buy some foods, the children are giggling in the streets playing innocently. In their smile, you can see happiness without any hesitations and worries. They are contented with their life. Their feet, barely ran the roads, under the scorching heat of the sun. Smiles that warm every sorrowed heart. Giggles that touches every heart.

As the sun rises, all of the kids and tired elders, get to sleep. Rest to acquire energy for the next tiresome job. The streets leaved alone. With few plastics and candy wrappers. There were also some slippers without its pair, maybe the owner had leave it when his/her mother called him/her for a sleep.


By three in the afternoon, everybody back to work, the children will play again in the streets. Some are enjoying some snacks and some are just playing. Like a trade fair, there are many booths. There are selling snacks, juices, syrup coated bananas, Filipino delicacies and any home made snacks.

As the darkness closes in, slowly the number of children generates. It was there favorite play time. No sun to touch their skin, more people passing by, more fun. They will run and play until 10:00 in the night. After a tiresome game, they'll go home hungry. Sharing the food that their parents generates through the day. Eating happily with dried fish and smoked fish, contently.

They will sleep with smile in their lips. Waiting for the tomorrow to come for another fun games.

That is how simple life is. They live without any too high ambitions and dreams. Living everyday to the fullest.A life without big debts to pay and a life not sure of tomorrow. Well whatever comes tomorrow, that's another page of life. To be opened tomorrow and to be solved tomorrow. A life of less aims, less frustrations and more happiness. Real happiness.#

slowly but surely

Local migration, specifically the migration of the younger labor force. How does this affect the migrant and the whole society? Basically it affects the individual characteristics, in the life cycle and the socio-economic status in the society. The family that usually depends the remittances were directly linked to the society and thus, it makes the migrant linked to the society's imbalance. It also affects the cultural reservation and improvement to bot place due to cross marriages and adaptation to new environments thereafter. Learning new knowledge while trashing the old fashions, style, belief and lifestyle and sometimes forgetting their own perspective.

While the place of origins(specifically rural areas), losses the younger labor force together with its brain and strength, the host place (urban areas) gains. Though on the other hand, migration promises more opportunity; such as jobs of bigger wages, new learning, tourism to the host place and remittance benefits to the place of origin.

Lets take for example the housemaid who travel far from provinces and work down n the urbanized areas, serving the family not even related to them. What was their main purpose on migrating for work? Half of them work for their family, sending their younger siblings to school while sacrificing their own dreams. One-fourth of them work for their self improvement that includes working while studying which often leads to body abuse. The other one-fourth works mainly for improving the quality of life they have in the province.

When does local migration becomes risky? How does a migrant identify the risk and benefits of migration? Unawareness is a common factor of why migrants risk to migrate without proper orientation and unsure of destination. Promised to get a good and high paying job, ignorant young migrants are easily drawn into trouble. Human trafficking is also one of the factors. It happens to both local and international work market. Migrants usually end up working as prostitutes and/or slaves for the higher class families. In case of local migration, (Philippines for specific) identifying migrants is not an easy task. Since transferring from one place to another is easy and staying in the house of the relatives even for longer times is a normal thing.

In the society, the most obvious scenario is the over population in the urban areas which consist of local migrants from the provinces. Often staying in the streets with kids roaming around and begging for food. Most of them are native from the provinces who intentionally migrate to urban areas. Begging and collecting garbage are their common jobs.

On the job-opportunity, local migrants often leave the real residents over-powered in job applications. Servicing the people which is not really a part of the original residents, housing the unauthorized residents.

Although the higher number of migrants offers tourism jobs in return, if not properly manage, may cause to exploitation of young migrants and brain drain to most of the provinces.

SO what are the things we need to do? Firstly, proper distribution of job resources all over the country. A one: one ratio of building establishments between rural and urban areas. It will leave every place an equal job opportunity. Making the rural areas be urbanized. Thus, the government should also consider the size of the area and its population. The labor force (younger ones) will always find a place where job is more attainable and sustainable. In tat case, they will never need to migrate, if job opportunities is just in their backyard. Removing the rural and urban classification will also help eliminate the discrimination between people. To start, it would require proper zoning in every place. Establish a balance area where agricultural and business sector gear up together. Every zone should limit the number of inhabitants. It will tackle the population control which will directly take effect to the next responsible citizens, the younger labor force. Since church were separated from government (in Philippines), the government should impose a mandatory birth control programs. A family should get a certain number of offspring according to its capability to raise a child. Giving for example that a middle class family should only ave two kids, under them will only have one and higher to them will only have three as the maximum. It will then result to mandatory sending of the kids to school. The community population should be limited according to its resources and size. The constant updating of birthing status should then follow.

Second and last, proper distribution of skill and non-skill workers. A resident-first policy will help. Focusing on the younger labor force in the society. It will help the young workers to stop migrating. Bigger number of migrants in a certain area should consist of tourist and business investors. Thus, it will help boast the tourism jobs. Migrant worker should get and present a permit-to-work to another place in every establishment. Controlling the migrants from going in and out will help for faster tracking of illegal businesses, work abuse (concerning employees) and to avoid the discrimination and exploitation of human rights. Local migrant, worker/non-worker, should only get a limited time of stay in a certain place. Giving opportunity to others to migrate, specially the migration of young brains for learning processes, and for learning the difference of economical and social runs in every place.

The government should also create a border within every area t control the coming in and out of migrants legally. Even the residents going out for a vacation and/or for some events, should also be tracked. The place of origin will then report to the place of destination for the coming of the certain person going out from its area of responsibility. This will help the local government develop transparency towards each other.

You cannot raise a fruitful tree over night. You need to water it everyday, keep an eye on it to protect from the harm of wild animals that might eat its leaves. You also need to trim it sometimes for it to grow according to what you want it to be. Even after the first harvest, you will still need to constantly take care of it for a constant good fruit harvest.

Implementation of laws and policies on people is also like that, keeping an eye, trimming sometimes, protecting them from harms. You need to do it constantly for constant effect.

There are a lot of laws and policies to stop or alleviate this migration issues. The society didn't ask for a sudden change which what the government is trying to do. A total stop to the issue may affect the whole country, since they are a big part of the ecosystem in the society. Though its risky and sometimes done illegally, most of the people still benefits them. It may cause massive shock to the economical state of the country. So as to do the action for changing better, may means doing it slowly but surely. Until the people get use to it. Total awareness can be acquired trough consistency. Therefore, consistency is the firs thing to watch above all this issue.#

healthy brain....how?...read this

1. Let it exercise

Playing chess, solving calculus math problems, and answering trivia questions; those might be your idea of exercising your brain. Well they can be, but what I mean is do it literally. Not as literal as putting out your brain muscles and stretch it. Do some aerobics and loose some moves that you are hiding out of the spotlight.

As we age, our brain cells, called neurons, lose the tree-branch-like connections between them. These connections, or synapses, are essential to thought. Quite literally, over time, our brains lose their heft.

Aerobic exercise increases capillary development in the brain, meaning more blood supply, more nutrients and — a big requirement for brain health — more oxygen. It may even restore memory.

Fit people have sharper brains (though not all), and people who are out of shape, but then get into shape, sharpen up their brains.

Just as important, exercise starves off heart disease, obesity, diabetes and other maladies that increase the risk of brain problems as we age.

People who are active are also having positive outlooks in their life according to researches. Their set of minds is also at ease, keeping a calm poise in every situation.

2. Keep it full

Another path to a better brain is through your stomach.

Antioxidants is not just keeping your appearance looking young. Those antioxidants are also good for your body, fighting aging related diseases, and that includes your brain.

Reading and listening helps your brain grow ideas that essential for your daily life not just for exams and tests on school that you are usually cramming for every time it comes.

Eating the proper way and proper foods is not just good for your body but also for your brain,

(you can also check for my post "coffee coffee coffee" and "get fats for your brain")

3. Speed It Up

Our brains naturally start slowing down at the cruelly young age of 30

It used to be thought that this couldn’t be helped, but a barrage of new studies show that people of any age can train their brains to be faster and, in effect, younger.

Given the right tools, we can train our brains to act like they did when we were younger. All that’s required is dedicated practice: exercises for the mind.

What you think your mind can do actually depends on what you want it to function for. Since your brain is the center of your body it controls all the things that you are going to do.

If you make a habit of thinking fast so the brain can function faster, it will get use to it, and could possibly improve as you go along.

4. Stay Calm

Breathe. Relax.

While challenging your brain is very important, remaining calm is equally so. In a paper on the brain and stress, Jeansok Kim of the University of Washington asserts, in no uncertain terms, that traumatic stress is bad for your brain cells. Stress can “disturb cognitive processes such as learning and memory, and consequently limit the quality of human life,” writes Kim.

One example is a part of the brain called the hippocampus, which is a primary locus of memory formation, but which can be seriously debilitated by chronic stress. Of course, physical exercise is always a great destressor, as are calmer activities like yoga and meditation. And when you line up your mental calisthenics (your Swahili and swing lessons), make sure you can stay loose and have fun.

Before doing anything, before reacting to something, have a habit of counting from 1-10, or breathing in and out for three to five times. IF at ease, your brain function at its best and could avoid you from more stressful situations and circumstances.

5. Give It a Rest

While on rest, you allowed your brain to have a look from the outer view of the things. It is like restoring the energy you have lost from deciding things. Giving your brain some rest is one way of putting it back to its normal pace, where it could think without the pressure; thinking for more better not because of pressure.

As what they say, a machine that runs 24 hours, easily get defects due to over heat. Just like your brain, without rest, it might lose some of its efficiency you used to enjoy.

Get Fats For Your Brain

Get Fats For Your Brain

The human body was designed to love fatty foods in part because of the needs of the brain. We should choose the “good” kinds of fats, skipping the dangerous ones and adding plenty of brain-healthy ones.

The brain is made mostly of fat, which not only forms the membranes around cells that regulate what gets in and out of them but also insulates the bundles of nerve fibers that act as high-speed communication cables in the brain. It shouldn't be too shocking, then, to learn that fat is the single most important nutrient for protecting and preserving brain function. Eating a low-fat or, worse, a no-fat diet is actually the worst thing you can do for your brain. What the brain craves most are the omega-3 fats. They turn on the genes that determine how the brain develops, repair and preserve brain cells, enable the cells to deliver signals efficiently, and may even facilitate the growth of new cells. Studies show that without enough omega-3s, the brain can't function properly. Over time, lack of omega-3s may even contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease. Unfortunately, most people don't eat nearly enough of these good fats.

So don't be afraid to eat those fats you are trying to avoid. Just always keep in mind that "too much is bad".
Be generous to your body and brain, foods are created to be eaten.
In proper way, you can benefit to the foods that most people avoid.
Fats like those that came from fish oils and olive oils are good not just for your brain but also for your heart.
Check your ref now and eat smart.


Eat fish
Switch to olive oil
walnuts
walnut oil
flax seed oil



Here are some links that may help you know more about good fats and foods to look for in the nearest supermarket .

coffee coffee coffee

Wake up and smell the coffee: “It’s amazing,” says liver specialist Sanjiv Chopra, MD, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. “Coffee is truly a lifesaving miracle drug.”..(credits to http://www.rd.com)

Though he says it’s still a “scientific mystery” how a simple cup of coffee works its wonders in the body, large epidemiological studies repeatedly verify its astonishing benefits. Some recent research highlights:

More than three cups a day lowers women’s risk of developing the most common skin cancer by 20 percent.
More than six cups a day cuts men’s risk of dying from prostate cancer by 60 percent.
Drinking at least one cup of coffee a day lowers women’s risk of stroke by up to 25 percent.
Consuming at least two cups daily reduces women’s chances of becoming depressed by up to 20 percent.

“Drink it black, or at most put a little skim milk in it” to minimize calories, Dr. Chopra recommends. The benefits from decaf may not be as prodigious, so stick with regular if you can tolerate the buzz. Dr. Chopra drinks at least four cups a day himself, though most people should limit themselves to two. And no, he jokes, “I’m not sponsored by Starbucks.”


After reading this readers digest article i am just so happy to say that my coffee addiction has nothing to harm me.....
Honestly, I was just so addicted to coffee that I would get headaches if I miss a coffee a day.....
Base on my own experience, every time I drink coffee, my brain works more faster and calmer than usual....
During high school days, I prefer to drink coffee before reading and writing assignments and reports....
Well Im not that bad in school, I am a contributor on our publication office....
Also, Coffee made me feel great every day. ....
Less stress and I can easily control my freaks....
Unlike those days without coffee, I usually burst out every time I get mad.....

So, whats stopping you to brew your coffee?
Try it yourself and share your thoughts....

for their eyes only

Politically, we, youth, seldom join the debate. We don't like it that much, joining in the debates regarding the problems and leaks of the government. Yes, its true we don't notice much of the government issues, but we care. In where? In everyday expenses, like fares going to the school. We are thinking and trying to analyze what does the government had accomplished to alleviate price hike in most of the prime commodities in the community. They may did their best but we still have some suggestions regarding those issues that also affects us.

Emotionally, we, youth, often kept our thoughts inside us. Even joining the circle of concern elder citizens, mostly,our voices were never heard and categorized as emotionally based reactions and judged as weak. We really understand what is happening in the community but we also knew well that even heated much to catch the attention of the concerned ones in the society, our voices will still be invalid. Unless a tragical thing will happen. Take for example the issues of the heroes graves. Wherever your body was buried, if you did the good deeds when you were still alive, the people who knew you will look your memories back as a heroic actions. So why does some person needs to fight to be buried in the heroes grave.

Mentally, we know very much that we are still not fully nourished with the knowledge needed to take much bigger responsibilities. That's why, we are just waiting for our turn to take the bigger actions in the society, while doing our best to become a part of a responsible citizens later. Slowly but surely, that's it maybe. We sharpen our minds through the experience of the responsible citizens in the society right now.

You maybe didn't notice but we are thinking more better solutions of today's issues to obtain a more livable society the moment our time to counter part the leading role will come.

As of now, we live the life at ease while gathering enough strength for tomorrows challenges. Living the simpler part, allows you to see the bigger part of the equation. It also allows you to learn the basics. Because in the end, what we wanted to see is the simplified picture of the goal.

uh uh uh...be sure.....

here you are again
walking in the garden
where lovely flowers reign
seems you don't know where to begin

you passed me
for a while you smelled me
in a second you held me
with your hand you caressed me

i saw you smile
the spark in your eyes
that melts my petals
but then i never realized

you looked around
and leave me behind
a new flower you found
you threw me in the ground

seems you're never contented
you keep on walking and collected
flowers of good smell and color
to praise your amor

somebody comes in the garden
the moment you want to pick me again
but he already held me in his arms
protecting and caring with his warmth

why did you let me go
wanting me when somebody already do
you cant take me from him

you never choose me back then

complete my xmas tree

lights and decors in the streets
makes me think of regrets
why did I believe
that you would never leave


Should have put security
from this worlds uncertainty
but just when i need you the most
you go away without a cause


wrapping gifts and warming greets
how could i forget
those smiles with you
makes me feel anew


seasons coldness sway
why did you go away
please come back to me
complete my x-mas tree.

HIDE INTO THE BRIGHT SIDE

(A Life in the Country of Storm Road)
It was September 26 (2009), a cold, seems freezing breeze in the morning, welcomed the whole house with smooth breeze of chilling wind by the window. As what I usually does, I made a cup of coffee and watch news on television. After coffee, I cleaned and then took a bath. After fixing everything I might need, I open the internet shop where I work. No one spotted the difference in the clouds and the movements of the wind. It was a new day face with and nothing to worry about. Not until by 8:00 in the morning.
The rain started to fall and it goes heavier and heavier. I still got plenty of customers and all of them with there buddies and pals felt worried about the scenario, but not me. I already know last night that there will be a storm to come and I have partially prepared for it.Besides I got a bunch of buddies with me to help me just in case I will be needing help in the middle of the storm. Asking if am I that strong and brave enough to face it? Partially because I know how to swim just in case that the water might reach high level. Above all, I know He's with me all the time, wherever I go He'll be guiding me to safety. I'm confident enough to face the storm they are worrying with. Of course I already charged my mobile phone during the time the weather forecaster announces the coming of the storm.
Disaster? NO, its not what "Ondoy" just bring. He has brought so much real things, but it goes implied.During the experience of striving and struggling to stay away from storm prone areas, we always remember the Holy Rosary, am I right? But those days that you won a thousand in the sweepstakes, have you shared your blessings? Did you prepare yourself for any circumstances that you'll be needing His guidance? Probably, you didn't plan to have a romantic date with your love ones in the middle of waste segregation program held in your own street.Have you remember those recess time during your high school days? Where did you always put your candy wrapper? Your chips plastic, your soda can?
Those are simple things that matters much and could affect almost a half of your life. Did you saw the plastic wrapper floating in the river nowadays? That might be yours when you throw it unintentionally on the window of your Chevrolet, limousine or in the bus. We usually ignore those things knowing it could affect the safety of the mother nature we are inhabiting in.Looking on the other side of the reality's challenges will lead us to see whats the bottom line and what it's for. The coming of the storm every now and then in Asian countries is not new to each one of us. During storms, what we always see in the news are the evacuees, crowded relocation sites, relief operations, heroism of good ones who had saved some in the middle of the storm. But we seldom heard about whats the real bottom line of consequent appearance of the storms and how the environment reacts to it. storms are natures way of eliminating and controlling the rapid growth of population. It really depends on the environment and its composition in every country, effect of every storm. By building our habitat right in a strong foundation without doing any hazardous thing to a greener earth.
First of all, He brings joy to the squatter children when he gave them the artificial swimming pool road wide. He provides free shower to the children who cannot afford even a pail of water to take a bath.Its a momentous event that they will treasure 'till their adulthood. If only all of us thinks like a child, we could see all those real things. Those things that only children can appreciate brings smiles and laughter to the less fortunate ones.Ignoring the dirt in the water, still they enjoy the artificial road wide pool that the storm had brought. They savor the storm as a blessing for they will again enjoy a nice bath in which they cannot afford even a pail of it during summer time where water is a must and very in demand.
Secondly, the storm let the employees get some rest and share some times with their family. A moment that is rare and best thing to treasure. An emergency leave as what we can call it. An experience of sharing one story in the table with the whole family, the giggling innocents laughing for the fathers joke. How nice your boss will be if he could lend you one office time just to spend it in the table with your family talking about lighter things that digs deeper happiness.
Thirdly, it digs the deeper side of the Asian people. Help for each other showed off. Caring for the fellowmen, are the responsibilities that the storm heroes signed for. Unity amidst the calamity is great not just for the eyes of he humans but also in His eyes. Its flattering when you know that your fellowmen never leaves you the moment you are down and in need of help. The generosity of concern folks caters the evacuation centers. The last slice of bread in the table that maybe thrown away was sent to the needy and evolve into a sweet smile of a child that surpass the rumbling sound of his stomach.
Lastly, it was the lesson that he bring and planted on our mind and was hoping that we got the message his storm clan was trying to let us know with. To save and protect the mother earth that's starting to sink in junk we are doing. Those storms were starting to remove some areas on the map. It were not remove in mass destruction for God wants us to prepare. Just like His judgment it will come like a theft in the daylight or in the midnight were everybody is asleep. We should be prepared, we should fold our cloth and ready them in the closet where we could get it fast the time the judgment comes. But the judgment will come as fast as a blink of an eye where no one can prepare their goods and necessities for the destruction of the wicked.
Every second counts, every drop was as precious as the highest treasure in the universe, that each one of us should be alarmed for the coming of the judgment and their death. We should not be afraid of death, it was the God we should put first in mind, of what will He judge on our life. On how we spent it in the world of temptations aiming to destruct His Power.
We already got the lessons from the storms that passes us by. Its intended for the preparation for the next storms to come.
Its not just literally means that there will be a storm like Ondoy to come this 2010, its implied that we should preserve mother nature to prevent revenge from the environment.
Now that Falcon has come and did almost the same thing as Ondoy did. The scenario will still be the same. Nothing will change, and the world will never change. You should experience it by your self. The power is in your hand. Storms or typhoons are expected to come and visit our country. It is our own duty to do the preparations and be ready no matter how strong the storm will come. The rain will never turn into flood if you learn to clean your canals and you knew where to throw the trashes in a proper way. Stop blaming each one of us, why not start it on your own.
Self discipline is the primary count to start the battle of re greening the earth just as before. Universal change will start on each one of us to benefit the whole bio treasure. What is planted now will be ripped by next seven generation. Its not a food coloring that will color immediately right after you pour it in. It takes time to regenerate the broken piece of mother earth.
Taking the right steps today will lead to a better way for the generation to follow. We should not worry about dying, we should take everything on the brighter side so we could see those hidden treasures and gifts behind the hardships it brings. Because after the storm there is the rainbow arching the world to show that life's still colorful.
That the sun will appear just right after the clouds are gone. Above all the challenges amidst the calamities, still we stand strong keeping the passion for each other still glowing and always available for each one of us to help in time of hardship. Just like what my father had always told me, "life must go on". All these things happening unto us are entitled to be charged to experience,these should not be buried to forgotten past. Holding these as a guiding lesson as we strive to survive the life's struggle in the near future will lend us at least a bunch of strength to conquer life.#

para kay inay.......



Salamat sa iyo inay, ang aking matiyagang naging gabay, ang matatag na tanglaw, at ang mapagmahal na nag-bigay.

Pasensya ka na inay kung siyam na buwan din akong namalagi sa tiyan mo, medyo mahina talaga kasi ako. Naalala ko,
wala pa akong buto nun, maingat mo akong karga. Ang pagdidisco ay itinigil mo pa para lang wag ako mapaano.
Alam ko, kahit ayaw mo ng gulay, ay tiniis mong kainin ang mga binibigay ni lola, para daw lumusog ako.
Ipagpaumanhin mo rin kung naging sanhi ako ng walang humpay na pagsusuka mo kada umaga, at kung naamoy mo ang
paboritong pabango ni papa. Paumanhin din sa mga gabing hindi ka makatulog ng maayos dahil naglilikot ako sa loob
ng sinapupunan mo. Sa mga pagkain na di mo makain, patawad, hindi ko sinasadyang iyon ang magiging kapalit ng
pamamalagi ko sa tiyan mo. Kahit sintunado ka ng kunti, salamat po sa mga gabi na kinakantahan mo ako ng mga
awit na kay sarap sa tenga, lalo na iyong themesong nyo ni papa. Kahit medyo luma na, gustong gusto kong
pakinggan sa tuwi-tuwina. Tuwing umaga, pinapasyal mo ako sa parke, kahit di ko nakikita, nararamdaman ko ang
simoy ng hangin na pumapawi sa pagod mo. Naririnig ko rin ang halakhakan ng mga kapwa mo nanay dun, habang
nilalaro nila ang kani-kanilang sanggol. Dahilan upang lalo mo akong alagaan. Alam kong excited kayo ni papa na
makita ko. Kahit mahirap sa iyo ay kakayanin mo, para sa kapakanan ng buhay ko. Tuwing hapon, binabasahan mo pa
ako ng mga kwento tungkol sa mundong ibabaw, na nagbibigay sa akin ng tuwa. Naeexcite din akong lumabas, upang
makita ang masayang mundo na ikinikwento mo. Tapos, habang nag-gagantsilyo ka ng mga magiging gamit ko,
pinapatugtog mo ang mga nakakbuhay na awitin, pasensya ka na kung nasisipa kita minsan, napapaindak lang talaga
ako.

Nung araw ng huli kong pamamalagi sa tiyan mo, medyo huramintado ako, pasensya na. Excited lang ako lumabas.
Sa wakas, makikita ko na ang mundong ikinikwento mo. NAkikita ko ang mukha mo na bakas ang pamimilipit sa sakit.
Walang akong magawa, hindi ko alam paano lumabas, pasensya ka na kung nahirapan kang ilabas ako. Kahit halos
mawalan ka na ng hininga, ay pinilit mo pa rin na ilabas ako. Alam kong maari mong ikamatay ang pagsilang sa akin,
ngunit hindi kasumuko. Salamat inay. Ang aking pag-iyak ay ngiti ang idinulot sa mga labi ninyo ni papa. Sa kabila
ng lahat ng paghihirap, ay nababatid ko ang labis na tuwa sa mukha ninyong dalawa ni papa.

Nung di pa ako marunong lumakad, salamat sa pag-aaruga mo sa akin. Sa pagpunas sa mukha ko tuwing nadadapa ako
kung saan saan. Sa pagpunas ng pwet ko, tuwing popopo ako, sa mga wewe ko na bumabasa sa higaan natin na matiyaga
mong nilalabhan. Kahit amoy panis ako, hinahalikan mo pa rin ako. Tuwing gabi, kahit puyat ka iy pinapadede mo
ako. PAsensya na kung medyo marami kang eyebugs nun, di ka kasi makatulog ng maayos, dahil panay ang iyak ko.
Patawad din kung hindi mo pwedeng puntahan ang birthday ng best friend mo dahil walang maiiwan na mag-aalaga sa
akin. Salamat at hindi mo ako ipagkakatiwala sa kahit na sino. Salamat sa pag-aaalala mo inay.

Sorry sa mga pagkakataong nakatingin sa iyo ang lahat nung minsang nagsimba ka kasama ako, dahil di ko napigilang
pomopo. Sorry nung natapon ko ang bote ng gatas na pinaghirapan mong itimpla. Hindi pa kasi ako marunong magbalanse
sa paghawak ng mga bagay bagay. Ngunit imbis na magalit, tinuruan mo akong tumayo. Tinuruan mo akong lumakad.
Ang unang hakbang sa buhay na ginawa ko ay utang ko sa inyo.

PAsensya ka na kung nahirapan kang habulin ako nung marunong na akong lumakad. Normal lang daw kasi sa amin ang
maging malikot, kaya nakangiti ka lang habang binabasag ko ang mga flower vase na nadadaanan ng malikot kung
kamay. Pasensya na rin kung pomopopo ako kung saan saan. MEdyo maamoy na dahil sa mga pinagkakain ko, pero
matiyaga mong nililinis. Salamat talaga.

Salamat din, dahil natuto din akong magsalita. Kahit puro mamamamma lang at papappapa. Gayun pa man,
labis ninyo akong inintindi sa mga salita na nais kong maiparating.

Kaya lang, nung natuto akong magsalita ng maayos, medyo may mga mura akong natutunan. ngayon na kaya ko nang
buksan ang ref mag-isa, wala na akong pakialam, inuubos ko ang lahat ng gusto kong kainin
kahit ang masayang ang iba. Nasisigawan ko rin kayo sa mga panahong pinipilit nyo akong gumising ng maaga, at sa
mga pagkaktaong ayaw kong maligo, pinapaliguan nyo pa ako, huwag lang ako magmukhang dugyot sa harap ng mga kalaro
kong wala din namang pakialam kung naligo ako o hindi.

Gusto ko pong malaman nyo na okay lang na paluin niyo ako tuwing nagpapasaway ako. noon galit ako tuwing pinapa-
ngaralan nyo ako. Ngayon ko lang nalaman na kailangan ko pala iyon upang hindi ako lumaking walang galang.
Lahat nang hini ko naiintindihan nun, napagtanto ko ngayon. Ngayon na nakaharap na ako sa tunay na mundo.
Hindi ko alam nun na kay hirap pala na maghanapbuhay. Na ang mga sinayang ko noon na mga pagkain, ang mga baon
na pinambibili ko ng mamahaling kape sa isang coffe chain, ay dugot pawis palang pinagtrabahuan ni papa para
mabigyan lang ako ng baon.

Sa mga gabing nilihim ko na bumagsak ako sa exam ko, patawad po, takot po kasi akong mapagalitan ninyo. Hindi
ko po kasi alam na para sa ikabubuti ko ang mga sasabihin ninyo. Na tutulungan nyo lang akong maging maayos ang
pag-aaral ko, at hindi ang pasamain ang loob ko tuwing binabawasan niyo ang baon ko. Kahit mahirap lang tayo,
napakayaman ko sa mga pangaral, na kahit basahin ko pa ang lahatng libro, ay sa inyo ko lang matutunan.
Na kahit sigawan ko pa kayo, na kahit isnabin ko pa kayo minsan, at kinaiinisan, hindi magbabago ang katotohanang
mahal niyo ako dahil anak niyo ako at hindi dahil sa magandang bagay na dapat mahalin sa akin.

Na pakiramdam ko lang pala yung tila malli ko lang ang tinitingnan ninyo, dahil kahit gaano pa karami ang mali ko.
Andiyan pa rin kayo para alalayan ako sa lahat ng bagay. Na kahit halos mamatay kayo ay isnugal niyo angbuhay ko,
makita ko lang kung gaano kaganda ang mundo. Salamat po.

Naiintindihan ko po kung bakit kailangan na mapagalitan ninyo ako minsan. Kung bakit kailangang bawasan ang allowance
ko. Dahil kahit anong mangyari, sa kabila ng lahat ng kapalpakan ko, ay ang pagmamahal ninyo na bumabalot sa
lahat ng mg aiyon upang ang matira na lang ay ang mga mabubuti kong nagawa. Tulad ng minsang isang umaga ay
matagumpay akong nakabangon ng maaga ng hindi na kayo namamalat sa kakasigaw. Simpleng bagay, kumpara sa mga
nagawa ninyo, ngunit labis ang tuwa ninyo.

Alam kong sa lahat gagawin ko, kahit ibalik niyo pa ako sa sinapupunan niyo, ay hindi ko mababayaran ang mga
utang na loob ko sa inyo. Hindi pa kasali ang materyal na bagay. Kung uulitin ang buhay ko, kayo pa rin po ang
pipiliin kong nanay. Ang nanay na nagpunas ng puwet ko nung hindi ko pa alam ang dumi ng popo. Ang nanay na
tumatabi sa akin kahit mabaho ako. Ang nanay na nagpupuyat para bantayan ako tuwing nagkakasakit ako. Ang nanay
magturo sa akin maglakad. Ang nagturo sa akin magsalita, ang masipag na humahabol sa akin tuwing tumatakbo
ako ng walang pakialam kung mababangga o hindi. Ang nanay na matiyagang ihatid ako sa iskul. Ang nanay na
sinasamahan akong magpuyat s mga assignments ko. Ang nanay na ipinagluluto ang crush ko. Ang nanay na pinaplantsa
anh damit ko, ang naghahanda ng damit ko bago umalis. At kung ano ano pa. Higt sa lahat, ang nanay na pinupunasan
ang luha ko sa mga pagkakataong wala akong karamay. Sa mga talo, sa mga sakit sa puso, sakit sa bulsa, sakit ng
katamaran, at kung anu ano pang sakit, lagi kang andiyan at handa akong damayan.

Sa lahat, masuklian man kita o hindi, nais kong iparating sa iyo ang aking taos pusong pasasalamat. Inay, the best
hero God had sent to me.
