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."

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...
