1. I started noticing the opposite sex (I meant having a crush) at the age of 5. I didn't know what it meant. I just can't stop noticing her. I think maybe my parents got irritated with me always telling them about this girl that they told me "Crush nimo siya?". I was surprised because I did not know what "crush" means.
2. I loved going to saturday school and sunday school during my elementary years. Why? Snacks!!! hahaha. (I don't know why, but I really liked the juice)
3. My highschool days were miserable. (Don't ask why)
4. College was fun. Yeah. It was.

List of 8*
Five (5) lessons about the way we treat people.
1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.
During my second month of college, our professor
gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student
and had breezed through the questions until I read
the last one:
"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the
school?"
Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the
cleaning woman several times. She was tall,
dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her
name?
I handed in my paper, leaving the last question
blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if
the last question would count toward our quiz grade.
"Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers,
you will meet many people. All are significant. They
deserve your attention and care, even if all you do
is smile and say "hello."
I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her
name was Dorothy.
2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in
the Rain
One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African American
woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway
trying to endure a lashing rain storm. Her car had
broken down and she desperately needed a ride.
Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car.
A young white man stopped to help her, generally
unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960's. The man
took her to safety, helped her get assistance and
put her into a taxicab.
She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his
address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a
knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a
giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A
special note was attached.
It read:
"Thank you so much for assistin g me on the highway
the other night. The rain drenched not only my
clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along.
Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying
husband's bedside
just before he passed away... God
bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving
others."
Sincerely,
Mrs. Nat King Cole.
3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those
who serve.
In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less,
a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and
sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in
front of him.
"How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked.
"Fifty cents," replied the waitress.
The little boy pulled is hand out of his pocket and
studied the coins in it.
"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he
inquired.
By now more people were waiting for a table and the
waitress was growing impatient.
"Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied.
The little boy again counted his coins.
"I'll have the plain ice cream," he said.
The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on
the table and
walked away The boy finished the ice
cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress
came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the
table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish,
were two nickels and five pennies.
You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had
to have enough left to leave her a tip.
4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle in Our
Path.
In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a
roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if
anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the
king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by
and simply walked around it. Many loudly bla med the
King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did
anything about getting the stone out of the way.
Then a peasant came along carrying a load of
vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the
peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the
stone to the side of the
road. After much pushing
and straining, he finally succeeded. After the
peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed
a purse lying in the road where the boulder had
been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note
from the King indicating that the gold was for the
person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The
peasant learned what many of us never understand!
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve
our condition.
5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts...
Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a
hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who
was suffering from a rare &serious disease. Her only
chance of recovery appeared to be a blood
transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had
miraculously survived the same disease and had
developed the antibodies needed to combat the
illness. The doctor explained the situation to her
little
brother, and asked the little boy if he would
be willing to give his blood to his sister.
I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a
deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it if it will
save her." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in
bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did,
seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his
face grew pale and his smile faded.
He looked up at the doctor and asked with a
trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away".
Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the
doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his
sister all of his blood in order to save her.

Dahil sa tindi ng kahirapan sa
probinsya, namasukan si Inday bilang
katulong sa Maynila. Habang
ini-interview ng amo
Amo: Kelangan namin ng katulong para mag
ayos ng bahay, magluto, maglaba,
magplantsa, mamalengke, at magbantay ng
mga bata. Kaya mo ba ang lahat ng ito?
Inday: I believe that my trained skills
and expertise in management with the use
of standard tools, and my discipline and
experience will contribute significantly
to the value of the work that you want,
my creativity, productivity and
work-efficiency and the high quality of
outcomes I can offer will boost the work
progress.
Amo: [nosebleed]
Nakaraan ang dalawang araw, umuwi ang
amo, nakitang me bukol si junior.
Amo: Bakit me bukol si junior?
Inday: Compromising safety with useless
aesthetics, the not-so-well engineered
architectural design of our kitchen
lavatory affected the boy's cranium with
a slight boil at the left temple near
the auditory organ.
Amo: [nosebleed ulit]
Kinagabihan, habang naghahapunan.
Amo: Bakit maalat ang ulam?
Inday: The consistency was fine. But you
see, it seems that the increased amount
of sodium chloride (NaCl) affected the
taste drastically and those actions are
irreversible. I do apologize.
Amo: [nosebleed na naman]
Donya: Bakit tuwing paguwi ko,
nadadatnan kitang nanunuod ng tv?!
Inday: Because I don't want you to see
me doing absolutely nothing.
Donya: [hinimatay]
Kinabukasan, sinamahan ni Inday si
junior sa principals office dahil di
makapunta ang amo at donya.
Principal: Sinuntok ni junior ang
kanyang kaklase.
Inday: It's absurd! It was never a fact
that he will inflict a fight. I can only
imagine how you handle schizophrenic
kids on this educational institution.
Revise your policies because they suck!
Principal: [nag resign]
Pag dating sa bahay, nandun na ang amo,
galit na galit.
Amo: Inday, bakit nagkalat ang basura sa
likod ng bahay?!
Inday: A change in the weather patterns
might have occurred wrecking havoc to
the surroundings. The way the debris are
scattered indicates that the gust of
wind was going northeast causing damage
to the path it was heading for.
Amo: [nosebleed ulit]
Habang nagluluto si Inday ng hapunan,
malikot si junior.
Inday: Stop your raucous behavior. It is
bound to result in property damages and
if that happens there will be
corresponding punishment to be inflicted
upon you!
Junior: [takbo sa CR, punasan ang
nagdudugong ilong]
Pagkatapos magluto, nanood na ng TV si
Inday. Nabalitaan nya umalis si Angel
Locsin sa GMA 7.
Junior: Bakit kaya sya umalis?
Inday: Sometimes, people choose to leave
not because of selfish reasons but
because they just know that things will
get worse if they'll stay. Leaving can
be a tough act, and it's harder when
people can't understand you for doing so.
Junior: [tuloy ang pagdugo ng ilong]
Nung gabing yon, me nag text ke Inday.
Si Dodong, ang driver ng kapitbahay,
gusto maki pag text-mate.
Inday: To forestall further hopes of
acquaintance, my unfathomable statement
to the denial of your request - Petition
denied.
Di nagla-on, dahil sa tyaga ni Dodong,
nagging syota nya rin si Inday. Pero di
tumagal ang kanilang relasyon, at
nakipag-break si Inday ke Dodong.
Inday: The statute restricts me to love
you but you have the provocations. The
way you smile is the proximate cause why
I love you. We have some rules to think
of. We have no vested rights to love
each other because the upper household
dismissed my petition!"
Dodong: Perhaps you are mistaken, what
you seem to contrive as any affections
for you are somewhat half-hearted. I was
merely attempting to expand my network
of interests by involving you in my
daily recreation. Heretofor, you can
expect an end to any verbal articulation
from myself"
Me dumaan na mamang basurero, at narinig
ang usapan ni Inday at Dodong.
Basurero (sabi ke Inday): Be careful in
letting go of the things you thought are
just nothing because maybe someday
you'll realize that the one you gave
away is the very thing you've been
wishing for to stay.
Narinig ang lahat ng eto ng amo ni inday.
Amo: [nagpakamatay]

What is Love?
People often ask about this and I think people have forgotten what this is all about. What is love? The answer is and has always been given to us, but we refuse to accept it. That is why there can never be peace in this life.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
Why do people say that this is just an idea of perfect love? Or why do people say that these verses only tell us about an ideal love? Why do we refuse to accept?
You can not say you believe in something yet you don't have faith on.
No one ever listens anymore.
No one ever reads the Bible anymore.
Everyone stopped learning from history, when it was laid down before us so we could learn.
Is it because of pride?
"MOMENTO MORI".
Can you crack this code?
What translates from Bad Fate,
diminished as quantifiable Two.
Connects to the Clover tree,
a passage through and through.
As the Stars explode,
the Earth began.
Thus the Chinese for the Native,
inhabiting the Promise Land.
Don't forget the cross
Got this email from a friend and it's worth sharing. :D
Whatever your cross,
whatever your pain,
there will always be sunshine,
after the rain ....
Perhaps you may stumble,
perhaps even fall,
But God's always ready,
To answer your call ...
He knows every heartache,
sees every tear,
A word from His lips,
can calm every fear ...
Your sorrows may linger,
throughout the night,
But suddenly vanish,
in dawn's early light ...
The Savior is waiting,
somewhere above,
To give you His grace,
and send you His love ..
Whatever your cross,
whatever your pain,
"God always sends rainbows ....
after the rain ... "

Where else but in the Philippnes
Here's another email I received from one of my previous officemates... It's really funny
BEST JOKE in some country
I would like to share this joke forwarded to me by my friend and high school classmate...
One Chinese person walks into a bar in America late one night and he saw
Steven Spielberg. As he was a great fan of his movies, he rushes over to
him, and asks for his autograph.
Instead, Spielberg gives him a slap and says "You Chinese people bombed
our Pearl Harbor, get out of here."
The astonished Chinese man replied
"It was not the Chinese who bombed your
Pearl Harbor , it was the Japanese".
"Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, you're all the same,"
replied Spielberg.
In return, the Chinese gives Spielberg a slap and says
"You sank the
Titanic; my forefathers were on that ship."
Shocked, Spielberg replies "It was the iceberg that sank
the ship, not
me." The Chinese replies, "Iceberg, Spielberg, Carlsberg,
you're all the same."
Shake it off and step up
I got this email from a friend who's out of the country, and I thought this is worth sharing :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
Finally he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway, it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.
At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw.
With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.
Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off!
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steeping stone.
We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up!
Shake it off and take a step up!
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

Heaven and Hell is on Earth
Just last August 4, 2007 at around 3 am, my uncle passed away. Though there were many undesirable behavior he had, many other good attributes overshadowed them. He was a true person who expresses what he feels with neither reservations nor pretensions. He was a true friend who was always there in times of need even if his resources were too limited. At our place in the province, you can see people who are living within and below poverty level. These were his friends and companion and were really at a loss for his death. There were quite a number of people who went to the funeral and until the day of burial. It was just so unfortunate that he wasn't able to stop his addiction to alcohol.
When he was still alive, he often mentioned that "Heaven and Hell is on Earth". People never really understood him. Even now, I still don't get what he really meant with that statement. At least what I've grasped is that we can experience all the misery (hell) and happiness (heaven) in this planet. He lived a life full of misery. That I know for sure. I don't know if he was ever happy. It really saddens me that I was unable to do anything out of his situation. Maybe I'm just too weak. Always pointing to the limited resources that I have. Always blaming even though I believe that people who love to blame are lame. But again, maybe he experienced the happiness through the companionship that we had with our family, and with his workers that served him really well. I just hope that I will eventually understand his words -- "Heaven and Hell is on Earth".
Something New
I'm really not the blogger type. I must admit, I'm also lazy in reading. This blogging craze however intrigues me. One thing's for sure, I'm a curious person. So why not get into this thing and satisfy my curiosity. "Curiosity Killed the Cat" yeah I know that, but curiosity feeds you with knowledge, and "Knowledge is Power". This is something new and I think it's worth a try. Will I lose something here? Maybe, maybe not. What's important for me is I've made a choice. Carpe Diem! Seize the Day!
