Fair?

2010-03-16T05:03:00.000-07:00

Heard regarding COMELEC suggestion to remove banners of Ninoy and Cory Aquino in order to be fair to other presidential candidates. Is it fair/unfair? to whom? where is the relevance? Is it same as removing the monument of Dr. Jose Rizal in Luneta Park because there so happened that one candidate have the same family name as Rizal(ex. only)? in this case(removing of banners) the amount involved is negligible, but, how about the changing of original color to other colors because it again symbolizes another, who is going to shoulder the expenses, just to erase it's relation from one presidential bet? The EDSA shrine are we going to cover it also? Ha! Ha! Ha!

Sometimes I wonder, what happened to people who suggested this. Are they fair to themselves or to the Filipino people. Have they forgotten millions of hungry Filipinos surrounding them, who once before the election was promised of an honest and transparent government? Are they Filipinos? Where are the promises of every candidates to elevate the poor? or themselves?

We become one of the most corrupt country in Asia. Official in position can't do anything because if they do, they are going to encounter people whom they, in their wildest dream can't

believe that , certain person whom they respected so much is also one of the person doing the wrong things. So when/where will they start? Can all of the wrong doings done be corrected by one person(the president) after the May 2010 election?

to the small farm

2010-03-11T18:59:00.001-08:00

in an hour or so, we are going to a small farm of my husband. it takes approximately 2 hours from the city, but the ride is worth the view we are going to enjoy apart from sleeping if we are tired.

we'll away for just one day because, after checking the plants that we have in there, then we will go back to the city and visit also our grand children, one thing more it is also the 2nd birthday of our eldest g-daughter, tho she is so far away still we can greet her through the internet.

life is so lonely when one of our children is so far but then with the new technology that we have, at least it lessen the loneliness that we felt, since we could see and talk to them but only thru the computer.

well, what can we do our children are seeking better or say greener pasture, since we have draught here in our country at least we could say in literal, greener than we have :)

so much for this.... wishing readers of this a beautiful day, whatever days they might happen to read it. lol

God Bless!!!!

simple thoughts

2010-03-09T15:57:00.000-08:00

when i am away from the computer, i have something to write, but when i am already in front of it, there my thoughts are gone. funny isn't it.

maybe it only means that writing is not as easy as one thought but it needs concentration, inspiration , peace of mind and mood of the writer.

that is my simple thought of what simple and ordinary blogger like me, who i think is very simple in every way.

Hi good day every one, that is all for today have to start what to work to end the day as fruitful as it can be.

Puzzled

What Is The Secret?

2010-03-03T06:59:00.000-08:00

my husband and I were sometimes jokingly ask by our relatives and friends regarding our secrets why our four children grow up good, finished their college degrees without problems as what others encountered with their children, and are having good job to support their families. they even contributed for our expenses if they think it is needed.

for me the answer to this is, it is not actually an answer but i will just relate our activities when our children were young. we used to go on picnicking, eating on sidewalks like "alacarts" if we have money, riding "sikad" in going home, bring our four children wherever we go. This is just what i described a simple living and happy. Now that they are married we used to visit them on weekends, if we couldn't do it, they are the one visiting us.

we did not do extra effort or don't have any itinerary to follow so it will result to something very extra ordinary they say. what we just do is freely done without any pressure from something or anything and we are so glad the outcome is good. my husband and i is so proud of our children. if the two of us retired penniless or shall we say did not received any retirement pay from where we work, at least they are self sufficient.

so raising a family has no secret at all, just be who you are and the fruits of your effort will reflect as who you are to your children. they said children are the reflection of their parents so this is it.

Can We Find a Good Leader?

2010-03-02T16:42:00.000-08:00

Where can we find politician who would really work for our country? It seems all of them are for the people because election is still coming, but after the election and all of the post were filled, the people were forgotten and politician centered to their own interest. Though I still hope and pray that there is still someone in the group who would really turn out to be what all the Filipinos is looking for. They all promise to be a good servant, will help the poor survive. Will it happened? Did it happened before? When will that be?...

Imagination of Life After Death

2010-03-02T15:56:00.000-08:00

Humans would like to prevent death, that is why we have doctors and many other courses in school to prevent it. Some would give all what they have in order to save one life but failed.

Ive noticed that everybody fear it including myself, and do all we can to survive, but we also believe that once we were born we have a path to follow that no matter what we do, our life will end according to what is en-store for each and everyone of us.

I think and imagine that life after death is a very happy one that no one can ever imagine (because maybe if we do, we all want to be dead). No one returned and told us what the experience is, though there were already write ups related to this, but still there is no solid evidence that it is really true.

So, how about you? if you happened to read this, may i asked you, what is your imagination of life after death?

Can't Believe

2010-03-02T01:16:00.000-08:00

since i was young am so respectful to my elders, brothers and sisters since i am the youngest in our family. i always do what i could do so there will be no quarrel or arguments to arise in every situation. but since we are just as human as we are, i have learned as i grow old that giving almost ninety percent of what our siblings wants to avoid trouble is also a disadvantage, because i noticed they don't no longer respect me as the youngest but, they have had planted in their minds that being the elder sibling in the family they presumed that i, in particular will always give in to what they want.

my parents when they reached the age of senility, lives with my family longer than with my other siblings, if they go there to have a vacation, or change the environment, they won't last even a year then they come back to us. we are eight in the family but only one or two helps in taking care and gives for the daily expenses of my mother, i didn't just bother to ask them, because i want them to volunteer on what ever things they could do to lighten the burden that my family is enduring, not only in terms of cash but also helps which is so needed during that time, because even if you have money but no one to pay for labor because of high salary that they want. I am so thankful to my husband because he is the one doing other duties that i could no longer perform( like cleaning the place).till my parents died in my care.

when my mother died after a year, we received an unexpected amount from her brother, that knowing my mother has past away, they give it to me. receiving it, a brother didn't say a thing, but when i was late in dividing the money for just three days, he went to our house so mad that even shouting to us claiming his share . i was so amazed, and telling myself its just now that i' ve known my brother. i suggested to leave the 20% of the money for the maintenance of my parents grave and other expenses that may arise, and also for me and my other sister to have a vacation since we were the one who took care of our mother, til she died. my request was not granted since we already have mis understandings on that matter. my brother received his full share.

this is the happening in my life that i have given a title "can't believe" because i could not really believe that my brother act like that when it comes to money, realizing that when my mother and father were still alive, won't even bother to visit them even if my father ask for him to visit him. the truth is my father died without seeing him in good state of mind because he visited him when my father is almost delirious, and can't even recognized him anymore. I remember my father said, maybe they will visit me when i can no longer eat the fruits that they are going to bring me. and the truth is my father wasn't able to eat the apple that he brought, instead it is me who eat it.

i am not condemning my brother but all i can say is I can't believe they have done it to their parents.
