LOVE KNOWS NO AGE

'LOVE KNOWS NO AGE, BABY,' I WAS SAYING MORE TO MYSELF. ' YOU CAN BE AS YOUNG AS YOURSELF OR AS OLD AS "LOLO" AND KNOW ABOUT LOVE.' 'LOVE IS SERIOUS AND HEAVY ENOUGH AS IT IS. NO AMOUNT OF WHIMSY IS EVER GOING TO DIMINISH THE DEPTH AND SERIOUSNESS OF LOVE.'

I SAW MY MOMMY'S DEATH

"I SAW MY MOMMY'S DEATH", THIS IS WHAT JACOB AQUINO ACCOUNTED AFTER THE DEADLY TORNADO ALSO KNOWN AS TWISTER DEVASTATED THEIR PLACE. GRACE AQUINO WAS ONE OF 124 PEOPLE WHO PERISHED IN THE TORNADO THAT HITS UNITED STATES  MIDWEST LAST SUNDAY. IT WAS NOT A SENSELESS DEATH BECAUSE GLORIA TRIED TO PROTECT THE LIFE OF HER SON JACOB.  SHE RAN AFTER HER SON EMBRACED HIM TO DEATH (A CONCRETE POST FELL ON THEM AND JACOB WAS PINNED UNDER HIS MOTHER). WHAT A HEROIC DEED OF A MOTHER TRYING TO PROTECT AND SAVE THE LIFE OF HER BELOVED SON. MY SYMPATHY TO TO GRACE AQUINO'S FAMILY ESPECIALLY TO JACOB WHO WITNESSED THE SACRIFICE MADE TO HIM BY HIS MOTHER. LIKE YOU JACOB, I AM PROUD TO HAVE A COUNTRYMEN LIKE YOUR MOTHER. MAY HER SOUL RESTED IN THE BOSOMS OF OUR GREAT GOD AND CREATOR.

QUEST FOR THE RIGHT WOMAN

I WAS TOLD THAT RAISING A FAMILY IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT BUSINESS IN THE WORLD WHERE MOST EXPERTS IN DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES FAILED TO SUCCEED. IF YOU ARE A GUY LIKE ME, YOU WILL START FINDING THE RIGHT WOMAN AND FINDING ONE IS THE HARDEST PART. I OBSERVED THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF BEAUTIFUL WOMEN WHO FAILED IN THEIR MARRIAGES  DESPITE OF THEIR ALLURING AND ENTICING LOOK. SOME MEN FANTASIZES THEM. BUT THEIR OWN MEN LEAVE THEM BEHIND. DEFINITELY THE LOOKS DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT MAN WILL STAY FOREVER WITH THEIR WOMAN. NOT EVEN THEIR SEXINESS AND SEDUCTIVE TENDENCIES WILL ENSLAVE THEIR MEN FOR GOOD. EVEN THE MOST BRAINY WOMEN IN THE WORLD WERE NOT ABLE TO SOLVE THIS PUZZLE. FOR SURE ALL THE ABOVE CHARACTERS OR DESCRIPTION WAS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT WOMAN TO BE WITH FOR THE REST OF MAN'S LIFE. SOME MEN IN SPITE OF THE UNFAITHFULNESS OF THEIR WOMEN TRIED TO SAVED AND LOVED THEIR WOMEN BUT GAVE UP BECAUSE THEIR MINDS IS IN CONSTANT...

HUSBAND (Imported from Melanie T. Lim)

I read a blog entitled husband for sale. She added it is not expensive but very cheap in fact the price is negotiable. What made her do that my guess is good as yours. Then I read this ones also for our personal evaluation. Where do you find good ones? I've been asked so many times. Well, how would I know? I never found one for myself. What's a good husband, anyway? Someone who runs at your bidding? That would be your dog. Someone who lets you shop till you drop? That would be your father. Someone who listens to your never-ending woes? That would be your best friend. Someone who loves you no matter what?That would be your mother. Someone who knows exactly how to bring you pleasure? That would be you. I think men who make good husbands abound. But what is good for one woman is not necessarily good for all. One man can make one woman, a good husband. The same man can make another, a lousy one. We grow up in different homes. We come from different backgrounds. And so we brin...

DREAM FOR SALE

  SOMEONE SAID, YOUR DREAMS SHOULD NEVER BE FOR SALE. “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs    ‎"Your dreams should never be for sale. Often in life we give up on them and sell out for something that is comfortable or seems good enough at the time. You will never know just how great that dream could have been if you don't keep striving to achieve it. Will it be easy? No, but living with regret of what you could have achieved is even harder

AUTUMN IN NEW YORK

EVEN WHEN I AS A CHILD I ALWAYS MINGLED WITH OLDER PEOPLE AND SOMEHOW LEARN FROM THEM. NOW IN MY FORTIES, I HAVE A PRIVILEGE TO BE WITH MEN TWENTY YEARS OLDER THAN ME AND I LOVE TO HEAR THEIR FABULOUS STORIES. I ALWAYS HEAR THEM SAY, LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST BECAUSE YOU WILL ONLY SET YOUR FOOT ONCE ON THIS PLANET AND LIFE IS TOO SHORT. THERE IS NO NEED TO BE LONELY ENJOY YOUR LIFE. OF COURSE YOUNGER WOMEN HAVE A LOT TO DO TO MAKE THESE MEN HAPPY,   ESPECIALLY WIDOWERS AND THE SEPARATED ONES. NOW, I HAVE ALSO A CHANCE TO WATCH A DIFFERENT LOVE STORY ENTITLED AUTUMN IN NEW YORK STARRING RICHARD GERE AND WINNONA RYDER. IT IS A DIFFERENT LOVE STORY NOT BECAUSE AN OLDER GUY IN THE PERSON OF RICHARD FALL IN LOVES WITH A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY IN THE PERSON OF WINNONA. THERE ARE A LOT OF MOVIES MADE LIKE THAT AND BESIDE IT HAPPENS IN REAL LIFE. TODAY, WOMEN PREPARED OLDER GUYS. IT IS AN EXTRA-ORDINARY LOVE STORY NOT BECAUSE A HEALTHY GUY FALL IN LOVES WITH A SICK WOMAN AND VICE...

KIND WORDS IS LIKE A PERFUME

WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO LOOK FOR A PLACE TO HAVE MY LUNCH, I CAME ACROSS TO A PLACE NOT SO CLASSY AS SOME OTHER  PEOPLE WILL DESCRIBE IT BUT NONETHELESS IT IS A GOOD PLACE TO EAT. AS I ENJOYED THE FOODS THAT I ORDERED, I DON'T REALIZE THAT I LEFT MY WALLET IN THE HOUSE. SO I'M A LITTLE PANICKY BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. SO I APPROACH THE LADY IN THE COUNTER AND TOLD HER HOW MUCH I ATE AT THE SAME TIME TOLD HER THAT I LEFT MY WALLET IN THE HOUSE. I WAS AFRAID AND ANTICIPATED THAT THE LADY IN THE COUNTER WILL SHOUT AT ME. BUT TO MY SURPRISE THE LADY REMAIN CALM. LUCKY ENOUGH THE COINS IN MY POCKET WAS SUFFICIENT TO PAY MY CHIT. BEFORE I LEFT, THIS QUOTATION OR PASSAGE GOT MY ATTENTION, "KIND WORDS IS LIKE A PERFUME WHEN YOU SPRINKLED IT TO OTHERS SOME DROPS OF IT WILL REMAIN ON YOU." YES, MY FRIENDS, KIND WORDS IS LIKE A PERFUME. KEEP ON SPREADING IT AND SOME PORTION OF IT WILL BE LEFT ON YOU. 

DIFFICULT BOSSES

WHETHER YOU LIKE IT YOU SHOULD LIKE YOUR BOSSES AND IF NOT IT IS  BETTER FOR YOU TO LEAVE OR SAY GOODBYE. DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS IS ALSO APPLICABLE IN MANAGING STYLES. THERE ARE BOSSES WHO DO NOT ACT LIKE BOSSES BUT MORE LIKE A BUDDY OR A BIG BROTHER. MY HEART BELONGS WITH THEM. AND THERE ARE STRICT BOSSES WHO ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO PLEASE. THIS BLOG IS FOR THEM TOO. AND MY HEART GOES WITH THEM AS WELL. EDITOR ANA MARIE S. TIANGCO OF MANILA BULLETIN HAD SOME TIPS ON DEALING WITH DIFFICULT BOSSES. ANALYZE THEIR DEMANDS _________________________ TAMING AN OVER DEMANDING BOSS REQUIRES THE EMPLOYEE TO FIRST ANALYZE THE DEMANDS. FIND OUT FIRST IF THE DEMANDS ARE REALISTIC OR NOT. BY KNOWING THESE DEMANDS, YOU ARE BETTER PREPARED TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP WITH REGARDS TO TOTAL ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR WORK. STUDY THE WORK LOAD _______________________ AS SOON AS YOU EVALUATED THE DEMAND, CONSIDER YOUR PRESENT WORKLOAD. FIND OUT HOW YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FINISH YOUR WORK...

THE BOXER POLITICIAN

BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE I WISH MY COUNTRYMAN MANNY PACQUIAO THE BEST OF LUCK IN HIS ENORMOUS TASK AGAINST MOSLEY THIS COMING SUNDAY, MAY 8, 2011. YES, HE IS A FIGHTING CONGRESSMAN FROM SARANGANI PROVINCE  AND ACCORDING TO HIS OWN ACCOUNT, HE FIGHTS AGAINST ALL ODDS. HE KNOCKED DOWN FLAT FOOTED HIS NO.1 ENEMY WHICH IS POVERTY. NOW HE IS LISTED AS ONE OF RICHEST CONGRESSMEN, A BILLIONAIRE SO TO SPEAK. QUOTING FROM HIS OWN SPEECH, HE SAID, "THE BIGGEST FIGHT IN MY LIFE IS NOT IN BOXING BUT HOW TO END POVERTY IN MY COUNTRY." I WISH THAT THESE WORDS COMES FROM MANNY WHO ARE KNOWN TO MANY AS A BOY STRUGGLING FOR SURVIVAL AND NOT AS MANNY THE POLITICIAN. BECAUSE IF THESE WORDS ARE UTTERED AND PROMISE BY A POLITICIAN CHANCES ARE POVERTY WILL STILL REMAIN AND NOT MUCH WILL BE DONE FOR OUR COUNTRY. I HEARD A LOT OF STORIES AND TESTIMONIES HOW GENEROUS MANNY IS. KEEP ON DOING IT AND MY HEART ALWAYS GO WITH YOU AND WISHES YOU MORE SUCCESS.

I CRIED FOR MY COUNTRY TOO

Like the rest of us, I care not only for myself. I cared about my family, my friends and of course my country. I believe I am not only the one who had passion like this.  It is sad to know that in the eyes of a guy like Jaeyon Kim, a Korean student,  seems that nobody cares about our country Martin Luther King Jr. once said “Our lives begins to end the day we become silent about the thing that matter”.  When President Park of South Korea went to Germany for state visit. Hundreds of Korean workers lined up at the airport waiting for their leader to arrive. When the President set foot at the Tarmac, his countrymen were crying. Once asked, Sir, when can be well off? “The leader answered,” We shall be well of soon if everybody worked hard for his country.” The German chancellor was move on what his saw and lent South Korea the money needed for recovery. Finally, Jeayon Kim asked us in his essay,” Have you cried for the Philippines? ...
