SHEDDING TEARS (reposted)

                                         SHEDDING TEARS

To weep is to make less the depth of grief, this is what Shakespeare once wrote. I believe he is right. In many instances in my life I cried. But what I'm crying for?

This morning, I received a text and a sort of reminder that says "Happy Birth Day Papa" my location is unknown because my kids do not know my present whereabouts, though they know that I live a striking distance from them.

When I read the message, my tears begins to form in my eyes and suddenly teardrops flowing, rolling and dropping. Much more when part of the message says, "PAPA WE WISH FOR YOUR HAPPINESS."
As I write this article, I need to pause for a while and wipes out my tears not only once but repeatedly over and over again.

I wish you can relate with my story. I was a Frustrated Father and Disheartened Husband. My simple dream vanishes away.

I never expected that things like this will happen to me. How I wish I can bring back those times when my kids were still young and from there reversed the situation so that it will have a different outcome.

Until now, I do not have other family. My kids knew that my relationship with their mother is not so bad but not so good either. And I regretted  because they are the ones directly affected.

This is day three for me, alone and lonely in my new rented house. I always like this even when I was a kid. At age 6 or 7 my father died and I need to work in my tender age in order to survived. This explain why I acted and behave like this.

I thought my crying is over but I was wrong. I received another text this time coming from my eldest son. The message read like this, "PAPA I KNOW I DID A LOT OF THINGS THAT BROKE YOUR HEART PLEASE FORGIVE ME AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO SAY HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU."

It really broke my heart to tears. As a father I have a lot of expectation from my eldest son. I sent him to seminary to give him a good education only to find out later that he is not studying he keep this thing secret with connivance of his mother.

I give him another chance to study a course which he likes but then again he blew his chance. For so long I kept this grudge in my heart against my son. And he knew it. Even if you have a heart made of stone when you heard these words from your sons/daughter it will break it to pieces. This explains Why I'm Crying.

According to Dr. Frey people shed tears on the following reasons:

* Sadness accounts for 49 percent of tears;
* Happiness for 21 percent;
* Anger for 10 percent;
* Sympathy, 7 percent;
* Anxiety, 5 percent;
* Fear, 4 percent.

But science attest to the truth that a person feels better after crying. Yes I feel better after crying. Researchers says that crying is good for three reasons it reduces tensions, remove toxins, and increase the body's ability to heal itself.

STATUE OF DIVINE MERCY

THIS GIGANTIC STATUE OF THE DIVINE MERCY MEASURED 50 FEET HIGH PERHAPS THE MOST REMARKABLE MONUMENT IN MINDANAO. IT IS SITUATED IN EL SALVADOR CITY,  AND IT WAS NAMED AFTER THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD, JESUS CHRIST. THE STAIRWAY IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THAT OF MRT. THOSE WHO HAVE HEALTH CONDITION ARE ADVISED TO STAY ON THE GROUND. TOURISTS AND OTHER VISITORS ARE ADVISED TO OBSERVED PROPER DECORUM SINCE THE ENTIRE PLACE IS SACRED. THOUGH I AM A REFORMED CATHOLIC, VISITING THE PLACE IS A RARE EXPERIENCE  AND I WAS AMAZED TO SEE HOW PEOPLE STRIVE TO CREATE ENORMOUS STATUE LIKE THIS. PILGRIMS FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF ARCHIPELAGO FLOCKED TOGETHER TO SEE THIS WONDERFUL PLACE.  I AM A STRONG BELIEVER THAT PEOPLE'S FAITH CREATED THIS PLACE. THEIR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST WORKS WONDER FOR THEM RECEIVING POSITIVE ANSWERS TO WHAT THEY WISH FOR.

SAVE YOUR SPEECHES FOR THE BEST

THE POLITICAL ARENA IS VERY COLORFUL. WHETHER YOU ARE PARTY MATES OR YOU BELONG TO THE OPPOSING PARTIES, AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU WILL DO YOUR BEST TO OUT-DO AND OUT-WIT ONE ANOTHER FOR ONLY ONE REASON, TO ENSURE VICTORY AND REMAIN ON TOP. LOOK AT THEIR SLOGANS OR WHAT THEY ARE CLAIMING DURING POLITICAL RALLIES AND CAUCUSES. SOME CLAIM THAT THEIR ONLY VICE IS SERVICE (ANG TANGING BISYO NILA AY SERBISYO). SOME SAYS, "BAYAN ANG NO.1, KAMPEON NG PALUPA, TAGAPAGTANGGOL NG KABABAIHAN, KAMPEON NG EDUKASYON, GUSTO KO HAPPY KA, TAPANG AT MALASAKIT, LAYLAYAN NG LIPUNAN, ITULOY ANG DAANG MATUWID AND A LOT MORE. THEIR SPEECHES ARE WELL ORGANIZED AND CRAFTED. THEY WERE EVEN SUPERB IN THE DELIVERY OF THEIR MASTER PIECE. TO BE HONEST AND FAIR, THERE ARE CERTAIN TRUTH TO WHAT THEY ARE SAYING AND CLAIMING BUT MOST OF IT LACED WITH FLOWERY AND SOMETIMES EVEN POISONOUS. SELLING YOURSELF TO THE PEOPLE IS NOT AN EASY JOB. THE PEOPLE WILL KNOW HOW SINCERE YOU ARE AS PUBLIC SE...

Urban Reforestation

FOR QUIET SOMETIME, THE WANDERING BLOGGER SEEMS INACTIVE IN WRITING FOR ONE REASON, NOT BECAUSE HE RUNS OUT OF IDEAS BUT MAINLY BECAUSE OF THIS STRANGE FEELING THAT I DO NOT WANT TO WRITE AT ALL.  I NEED TO MOTIVATE MYSELF TO FIGHT THIS STRANGE FEELING WITHIN ME AND CONVINCE MYSELF THAT I NEED TO WRITE AGAIN. I BELIEVE MY READERS ARE VERY EAGER ANTICIPATING MY NEXT ARTICLE.. CLIMATE CHANGE IS A BY-WORD NOW AND ECO-WARRIORS WAS BORN TO RESTORE THE FAST DETERIORATING PLANET EARTH. DURING MY CHILDHOOD, MY FATHER AND I AS WELL AS THE OTHER SIBLINGS ARE ARMED WITH BOLOS CUTTING SMALL TREES, CLEARING THE WEEDS AND LATER ON BURNED THE SITE IN PREPARATION FOR PLANTING SEASON WERE CROPS LIKE PALAY AND CORN WERE PLANTED. THIS SYSTEM IS CALLED THE "KAINGIN SYSTEM" AND WERE CALLED  THE "KAINGENEROS".  WE WERE NEVER INFORMED DURING THAT TIME THIS SYSTEM OR PRACTICE IS ILLEGAL AND HARMFUL TO ECOLOGICAL BALANCE. NOT ONLY DESTROYING THE NATURAL HABITAT OF SMALL AN...
