JUST FOR A LAUGH


THIS MORNING I WENT TO QUEZON CITY LEGAL OFFICE TO CHECK THE LEGALITY OF A CITY ORDINANCE FILED BY MY BOSS, COUNCILOR JULIENNE ALYSON RAE V.MEDALLA REGARDING AN ORDINANCE REGULATING COCKFIGHTING AND OTHER SIMILAR GAMES DURING FIESTA CELEBRATIONS IN THE BARANGAYS WITHIN THE TERRITORIAL JURISDICTION OF QUEZON CITY AND PROVIDING PENALTIES FOR VIOLATION THEREOF.

THE SERVICE ELEVATOR FOR THAT PARTICULAR FLOOR IS UNDER REPAIR SO I NEED TO RIDE OTHER COACH UP TO 5TH FLOOR AND FROM THERE USE THE STAIRS GOING TO THE SEVENTH FLOOR. MY OBSERVANT EYES TAKE NOTICE OF AN ARTICLE POSTED ON THE BULLETIN BOARD OF THE PERSONNEL OFFICE ENTITLED JUST FOR A LAUGH. 

AS I READ THE ARTICLE, I LEARNED THAT IT IS ABOUT THE STORY OF A PROBLEMATIC MAN WHO WENT TO A BAR JUST TO RELAX AND UNWIND HIMSELF. HE ORDERED A BOTTLE OF BEER AND AS HE SIP ON IT THE OWNER OF THE BAR NOTICE THAT THE MAN IS CRYING SO THE BAR OWNER APPROACH THE GUY TO OFFER HIS HELPING HAND.

THE GUY WAS SO ASHAMED OF HIMSELF. AND AS THE CONVERSATION WENT ON, THE BAR OWNER SUGGESTED TO THE GUY THAT HE KNOWS A CERTAIN DOCTOR THAT CAN HELP HIM IN HIS PROBLEM. HE GIVE ALL PERTINENT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAID DOCTOR.

AFTER SIX MONTHS, THE BAR OWNER NOTICE THAT A CERTAIN MAN DRINKING BEER IN HIS BAR IS THE SAME MAN HE ACQUAINTED WITH SO, THE BAR OWNER APPROACHED THE GUY TO KNOW WHETHER HE MET THE DOCTOR. THE MAN SAID YES AND HE WAS UNDER THERAPY FOR SIX MONTHS NOW. 

AS THE BAR OWNER IS ABOUT TO TURN HIS BACK FROM THE GUY, WHEN HE NOTICED THAT THE GUY STARTED TO CRY OUT LOUD SO HE ASKED AGAIN I THOUGHT YOUR OKAY NOW WHY ARE YOU STILL CRYING? THE GUY REPLIED DON'T WORRY I'M OKAY AND I FEEL BETTER NOW.

A GLITTER OF SMILES REGISTERED ON MY FACE AS I WENT UP TO THE SEVENTH FLOOR USING THE STAIRS AND EVEN TALKED TO MYSELF AND SAID, "I SHOULD NEVER BE ASHAMED SEEING BY OTHER PEOPLE CRYING."

COMPLETE SET OF FEET

Our feet works harder than what we think of. It brings us to lovely places we never been to. The feet carry our body weight all day out all day in. Though tired but never complained.   I was reminded of the song "Foot Prints On The Sands." Where most of the time the songwriter always noticed that there are two sets of footprints on the sand. Suddenly, the lowest point of his time came, at his amazement, there were only one set of footprints on the sands. He complained, because he thought God leave him. A voice from heaven was heard, "My son I never leave you. Yes, there was only one set of footprints on the sand the reason for that is that I carry you." This true to life story made me think that the complete set of feet is not one but two and we must always think this way.

"SALUBONG" - SEMANA SANTA 2019

I WAS RAISED AS ROMAN CATHOLIC BY MY PARENTS. WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL, I WAS CONVERTED TO BAPTIST. THEN MY JOURNEY AS A BIBLE BELIEVER AND MY CURIOSITY TO KNOW RELIGION BECOMES STRONGER.  I FOUND MYSELF STUDYING THE BIBLE IN BETHANY BAPTIST BIBLE COLLEGE IN DIAN ST. MAKATI CITY. THERE, I FINISHED MY BASIC BIBLE COURSE. THEN I PURSUE MY BACHELOR OF THEOLOGY DEGREE IN CENTRAL BIBLE COLLEGE. I ALSO TOOK SPECIAL COURSES IN PRESBYTERIAN THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY WHERE I FINISH MY SPECIAL COURSE IN THEOLOGY. I HEARD ABOUT "SALUBONG" DURING SEMANA SANTA, AND MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, SEEN THIS DURING MY CHILDHOOD BUT MY MEMORIES HAS BEEN ERASED BY SO MANY NEW INPUTS ENTERED TO MY BRAIN. FROM A REFORMED CATHOLIC VIEW AND FROM WHAT I WITNESSED THIS MORNING, LET ME TELL YOU THE STORY OF THE "SALUBONG".  THE WHOLE CHRISTIANITY WAS SADDENED BY THE NEWS OVER THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST THROUGH CRUCIFIXION MUCH MORE MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS BEAR THE PAIN.
