Neighbors

There was this simple story about neighbors.

The poor man had a rich neighbor and since both have completely different lifestyles, they’re not that too close with each other.

But one day, the rich man got envious of the poor man because he noticed that his children are not as healthy as that of the poor man’s.

He was upset since for him he had given the best for his children so they deserved the best too.

So for the first time he went to his neighbor’s house and asked his secret for keeping his family healthy.

The poor man politely said ” Sir, since we are neighbors, everytime you cook for your family, my children and I could smell the food coming from your kitchen into ours. Because of that, it has increased my family’s appetite for eating. and we thank you Sir for that.”

The rich man said ” Oh, so it means you owe me for I made your family healthy. You have to pay me for that.”

For a while the poor man became silent but managed to say..”Okay Sir, I will tomorrow.”

The next day, the poor man with a small bag of coins that he had saved for his family happily met the grinning rich man.

“Here is my payment, take them Sir”….While the rich man eagerly grabs the small bag with coins, the poor man suddenly held back what he was holding and instead shook the bag noisily enough for the rich man to hear……..” Sir, since I only owe you the SMELL…so I’ll pay you with a SOUND….

My friends isn’t it that we have abused our neighbors because of their ignorance and lack of understanding of their rights…

Many of us are guilty of manipulation, of abuse, we even choose the ones we abuse…

Some of our Kababayans are experiencing poverty because they don’t know their rights. We have killed their future…

What do we do when we helped them. We say, they must thanked us for giving them education, food, shelter, medicine…

We make our poor Kababayans look like dogs…cheering you…praising you…voting for you …because they don’t know their rights, the rules, the laws, the ordinances, etc….You make them pay for the things they own…When are we going to love and honestly serve our people?….When are we going to become good neighbors?…

Life Goes On

Indeed, life goes on…whether you are in a state of happiness or sadness, it goes on and on and it moves fast beyond our grasp. We just watch things happen and unfold right before our eyes. So you have to be strong to go with the flow.

We must also accept the fact that some things are inevitable and happen for a reason. We might have some questions about them but then we will find answers when the right time comes .For now we just have to wait or maybe not. Maybe some of them are just as clear as water (forgive the metaphor) but we are just too innocent to understand.

My friends because of you I was able to move on, to make it through in this ever changing world…You my friends are the answers to some of my never ending questions in life .Life will continue because of your love to someone like me..

Forever Grateful

We are what we are today because of some people who had shaped our lives and helped us fulfill our dreams. I for one is fortunate to have been blessed with loving and generous souls.

I want to thank God for giving me loving parents a daughter or a son could have, and for giving me someone who I consider very special for she gave me unconditional love.

It happened one day, considering then that she isn’t a relative or a close family friend but just a concerned neighbor of ours, when she asked my parents permission to help me financially in my studies and let no one know about it except my family. They told her she was most welcome and made them the happiest parents on earth.

We were then financially unstable because of my late father’s disease and my parents too much generosity.They could have been financially stable back then coz my father had a really good and worthy job but he chose not to be coz like I’ve said he was too generous and loving that he never in his entire life saved for himself but gave all that he had to his relatives, to the needy, and his own family.

He was very hospitable that even when he was already sick, whenever someone visited him he made sure that the person would leave with a pot of roses or flowers with them (he was a lover of plants)as a gesture for visiting him coz we couldn’t give food or money anymore to those who usually visit us as we used to do back when we were still stable.

My beloved benefactor probably had known my family’s generosity that she chose me as one of her beneficiaries in her long list of philantrophic acts.

During my four years in college almost all my needs were provided by her. She didn’t ask us to repay her rather told me to do to others what she did for me, and I did in my own humble way.

She was awesome, wonderful, one in a million.

Two days ago I had a long conversation with her. She’s still the same person I had known years ago but much older now. No matter how old she is I still love talking to her. She remains selfless and generous as ever. I just hope I had made her proud of me coz I feel l have a long way to go to do what she had done for me.

To you Ima I am forever grateful and I love you…

Fatal Move

It was terrible. Some drug addicts had been suspects to the tragic death of a Capampangan icon in Angeles City in my country.

Too bad, it happened when the old woman was already in her 80’s and still was hammered and stabbed to death by a young suspected addict.

Maybe, that person who committed the crime was remorseful of it by now, when he is no longer under the influence of drugs.

These terrible acts are no longer surprising in this kind of society we have.

As more and more rich and influential people are involved in drug pushing and smuggling we can’t stop these crimes from happening.

I really felt so bad because some Filipino values are already forgotten by our youth who are supposed to be the hopes of our nation.

To all the rich and influential who are into drug dealing and smuggling, please, have mercy on our people and our youth.

Your harmful actions always lead to other harmful or fatal actions.

The Rats

Hello my friends! For a change, my brother asked me not to be too serious in my blog coz readers might get bored with me..hope you’re not..So, I’ve interviewed some members of my family (we’re one big happy family hehe) and asked them..”If you were an animal what would you be and why?”

1. Pipi: A cat-he could make love anywhere and get his mate pregnant, leave the baby with her mother with no strings attached.

2. Tony: A dog-he is man’s bestfriend. He is pampered and have better meal than most of our poor kababayans.

3. Lines: A monkey-he doesn’t get pimples and no need to go to a surgeon for a make-over.

4. Mama : A butterfly-he could kiss anyone with fresh or bad breath without complaining.

5. Ella: A chameleon-he could be flexible and could change its colors if he wishes to.

6. Ate Cecil: None-”Don’t talk to me coz I know you’re expecting me to say that I am a pig hehe.”

7. Iraquis: A bird-Well she did not elaborate why…

8. Jayton: A rooster-Who wouldn’t love it, to be touched gently early in the morning?

9. Tin-Tin: A parrot-She’s like a parrot to her husband hihi..

10. Lorna: A swan:” Oh she’s so lovely like me…”

11. Ofel: I don’t want to be compared to an animal..just compare me to Undertaker..you know that wrestler?

12. Tess: A Tiger..He is strong..No, she just like Tiger Woods that’s why..

13. Nona: “Hey Sollee pls. don’t talk to me and help me wash the dishes.”

14. Jaycee: “Can’t talk to him coz he is snoring”..

15. Jaja: A cockroach-Oh that’s all he could say..

16. Sollee: A rat-…….Poor me, they’ve chosen all those animals that I like and all I could think of is a rat. Well, maybe when the world will stop turning and will finally meet its end..I think that the rats are the only animals that could survive from a broken, shattered, and filthy world which was once beautiful, powerful and discriminating….

Your True Friend

Drugs

I’m a little bit bothered
Why do you like me?
With me you’re just dreaming
But still you wanted to sing

I had captured your heart
But then had ruined your life
I made you looked smart
Then made you act so stupid

Why?..Why?…you couldn’t escape
Your thoughts of me won’t fade
I guess you should forget me
Coz now I’ve made you crazy!

Don’t use me…. forget me!
I’ve killed your friends and family
Don’t bless me..curse me!
I’m not your friend. but your ENEMY

Today I had my thoughts on one of man’s worst enemy….. illegal drugs…..Until now most of our youth are still embracing the use of them….. But I do believe that it’s never too late to change our ways..only if you choose your true FRIEND….Trust me my friends…God is our friend…Choose Him if you want to lead a peaceful life……forget the ENEMY….it’s never too late…it’s never too late….May God Bless Us All….

Making A Difference

Some of us were born rich and some the opposite. Some of us grew up from ideal families but others did not. That’s just the way things are, the way they were, but we could make a difference as we walk through life.

So you look at the things around you and try to observe what is truly happening.

The rich becomes richer, the poor becomes poorer. Why? We haven’t really thought about making a difference and share the blessings given to us. We are too selfish, aren’t we?

If you have the means, the influence or power, don’t be too proud of that, rather be kind to the impoverished and the powerless. Help them realize their dreams so that just like you they could make a big difference in this world.

TheTruth

Some things happen to us because we strive hard for them to happen in the first place. But some things do not happen the way we expect them to be.

No matter how hard we try there are things that are meant for others and not for us though we desperately seek for them.

My friends, I have learned in life that we should not let ourselves solely to decide what’s best for us, rather let the Father make the best decision for us.

Even if you have succeeded in life you should not think of it only as a prize for your hardwork or hardships, rather think of it too as a reward from the One who is the most powerful of all.

Whatever you own now, you can lose if God decides it to be.

Even if you do not work hard for some things if God decides that you should have it, He’ll keep it for you.

My friends, we are under God’s mercy and love, that is the truth.

Jesus-The Giver of Life

What can Jesus do that no other human being has done? We all know the answer- it is to give life to a lifeless human being both physically and spiritually. He is truly a giver of life that no one can’t deny.

My friends, let us ask God to light our lives; to help us do good and practice all virtues, so that the light will forever shine and Jesus will be our infinite abode.

Reflections from Imitato Christi

Only one inspired by the spirit of God could draw such a lively picture of eternal life and of temporal life; and make such a just comparison between the infinite good of the future life and the innumerable miseries of the present life. The future glory and happiness should form the sole object of our desires. If it does not, it is an indication that our faith is weak and our love is burning low.

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!
