GOD'S GREATEST GIFT TO A CHILD

ON THE GO — Sat, 18 Sep 2010 21:31:00 HKT

Every time I see pictures of kids who are sick, I am very much moved. There is this sudden connection that I can relate with how the parents are truly feeling. Maybe it's because of my experience with my daughter Robin Faith. It's not easy and literally, you tend to reach in the borderline of getting confused if you are making the right or wrong decisions for your child, just to survive.

I just got a group private message in Facebook of thanks from a mom with a kid suffering from biliary atresia and is celebrating his 7th birthday on September 23. I created a button for him so you can read his story. I just pray that you will have that time :). Anyway, this is my gift for him even though we don't know each other personally, but that experience of pain is definitely the same as I have experienced with Robin Faith. Happy Birthday Jan and continue that faith to live! I also congratulate his parents for being strong in spite of everything. Please click this button below and share with your friends. Have a blessed day ahead!

PUTTING MY 10-YEAR-OLD TO SLEEP

ON THE GO — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 22:50:00 HKT

I am putting a 10-year-old daughter of mine to sleep with this zen music. She requested it so that she will have a nice sleep. She's been asking me to sleep beside her and you bet, I am typing my way to blog this in the room with no lights on. I miss sleeping beside her. She and Robin 4 years ago slept beside me. Robin passed away when she was in Grade 1. I am dozing myself to sleep later.

This will really put you to sleep as well:

Just the sound of nature....so amazing....very relaxing and contemplating....makes you love life!

Philippines developing low-cost computer for students

Philippines developing low-cost computer for students

The Philippine government is working on a low-cost tablet computer that could bring an end to the days of children dragging heavy schoolbooks around, a cabinet secretary said Wednesday.

The computer will cost around 3,000 pesos (70 US dollars), according to science and technology secretary Mario Montejo.
"This is education in the future: no more heavy textbooks for our hapless school kids. Basically, we really should replace the books," he told reporters.
He also said the move would make Filipinos more competitive in science and technology.
However Montejo said the planned tablet would lack many features common to other such devices in order to make it cheaper.
"Every additional feature will add to the cost," he warned.
He did not say when the proposed tablet would be launched. - end of news

MY THOUGHTS: Well it's about time that our children get the technology that they need. For me, it will make a big difference in so many ways: Save our trees from millions or not, billions of books produced every single school year, lighten our child's burden of carrying heavy, back-aching backpacks, book contents will easily be updated and corrected (a great solution to typographical errors school books have usually), and also provide insurmountable array of knowledge and information through the internet (with proper supervision though).

There is no end to its benefits, but as a third world country, the question would then hold on the capacity of parents to cope with the cost it will entail. Presently, elementary books every school year would range from P4,000 up to P8,000 in private schools and if a laptop would only cost P3,000, it will be a good investment. Parents can maybe then choose additional educational softwares they like installed in it that they think would be helpful for kids. For public schools, the government should be able to at least subsidize part of the cost or raise funds to provide them for free. One step at a time - they say....one step at a time....

The Seed

A successful business man was growing old and
knew it was time to choose a successor to take over the business.
Instead of choosing one of his Directors or his children,
he decided to do something different. He called all the young
executives in his company together.

He said, "It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO.
I have decided to choose one of you. "The young executives were
Shocked, but the boss continued. "I am going to give each one
of you a SEED today - one very special SEED. I want you to plant
the seed, water it, and come back here one year from today with
what you have grown from the seed I have given you. I will then
judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be
the next CEO."

One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others,
received a seed. He went home and excitedly, told his wife the
story. She helped him get a pot, soil and compost and he planted
the seed. Everyday, he would water it and watch to see if it had
grown. After about three weeks, some of the other executives began
to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow.

Jim kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew.
Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing.
By now, others were talking about their plants, but Jim didn't have
a plant and he felt like a failure.
Six months went by -- still nothing in Jim's pot. He just knew he
had killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but
he had nothing. Jim didn't say anything to his colleagues, however.
He just kept watering and fertilizing the soil - He so wanted the
seed to grow.

A year finally went by and all the young executives of the company
brought their plants to the CEO for inspection.
Jim told his wife that he wasn't going to take an empty pot.
But she asked him to be honest about what happened. Jim felt sick
to his stomach, it was going to be the most embarrassing moment
of his life, but he knew his wife was right. He took his empty pot
to the board room. When Jim arrived, he was amazed at the variety
of plants grown by the other executives. They were beautiful --
in all shapes and sizes. Jim put his empty pot on the floor and
many of his colleagues laughed, a few felt sorry for him!

When the CEO arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young
executives.

Jim just tried to hide in the back. "My, what great plants, trees,
and flowers you have grown," said the CEO. "Today one of you will
be appointed the next CEO!"

All of a sudden, the CEO spotted Jim at the back of the room with
his empty pot. He ordered the Financial Director to bring him to
the front. Jim was terrified. He thought, "The CEO knows I'm a
failure! Maybe he will have me fired!"

When Jim got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened
to his seed - Jim told him the story.

The CEO asked everyone to sit down except Jim. He looked at Jim,
and then announced to the young executives, "Behold your next
Chief Executive Officer!

His name is Jim!" Jim couldn't believe it. Jim couldn't even grow
his seed.

"How could he be the new CEO?" the others said.

Then the CEO said, "One year ago today, I gave everyone in this
room a seed. I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it,
and bring it back to me today. But I gave you all boiled seeds;
they were dead - it was not possible for them to grow.

All of you, except Jim, have brought me trees and plants and
flowers. When you found that the seed would not grow, you
substituted another seed for the one I gave you. Jim was the
only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with
my seed in it. Therefore, he is the one who will be the new
Chief Executive Officer!"
* If you plant honesty, you will reap trust

* If you plant goodness, you will reap friends

* If you plant humility, you will reap greatness

* If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment

* If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective

* If you plant hard work, you will reap success

* If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation
* If you plant faith in God , you will reap a harvest
So, be careful what you plant now;
it will determine what you will reap later.

ATM ROBBERY TIPS

ON THE GO — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 01:14:00 HKT

When a thief forces you to take money from the ATM, do not argue or resist. You might not know what he or she might do to you. What you should do is to punch your PIN in the reverse mode.
I.e. if your PIN # is 1254, you punch 4521.The moment you punch in the reverse mode, the money will come out, but will be stuck into the machine half way out and it will alert the Police (security) without the notice of the thief. Every ATM has it; it is specially made to signify danger and help. Not everyone is aware of this.
