HAPPY FATHERS DAY…

Tribute to Fathers

“Honor your father and mother.” This is the first of the Ten Commandments that ends with a promise. And this is the promise: If you honor your father and mother, “you will live a long life, full of blessing.” And now a word to you fathers. Don’t make your children angry by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction approved by the Lord. Ephesians Chapter 6 verses 2 – 4

Fathers are the biggest source of strength for a child. The innocent eyes of a child perceive father as the all-powerful, most knowledge, truly affectionate and the most important person in the family. For daughters, fathers are the first men they adore and fall in love with. While for sons their fathers are the strongest person they know and someone they aspire to emulate. Even for the grownups fathers are someone whom they look up to for the most experienced and honest advice that is always in the best of our interest. For this great figure in our life that we know as father – it becomes our utmost duty to pay our humblest tribute on the occasion of Father’s Day

FORGIVE AND FORGET….

The problem . . .

is that people have failed to learn proper skills in problem-solving and interpersonal relationships. They don’t cope well with pressure and dissapointment, nor resolve conflict successfully. They “cop out,” run and seek “greener pasture” elsewhere. It’s the American way. And why? Because “family,” the basic training structure, has lost its main purpose and failed to function properly.

halos 15 years na ang nakalipas ng nangyari ito sa sarili kong pamilya, ng maghiwalay ang mga parents ko grade 5 ako non, masyadong pa akong bata at naguguluhan sa mga pangyayari, madaming tanong na di kayang sagutin ng mura kong isipan, basta ang maliwanag lang sa akin noon iniwan nila kami at pinabayaan, walang ibang inisip kungdi ang mga sarili lng nila…sa buong 14 years habang ako ay nagkakaedad at nagkakaisip aminado ako sa sarili ko na na puno ako ng galit tanong at panunumbat sa sarili kong magulang, bakit kailangang ganun ang mangyari? na bakit biglang naputol ang mga pangako na hanggang sa huli magkakasama at magdadamayan sa hirap at giinhawa, sa isang kurap nawala lahat na parang bula..

“GALIT” dahil sa ginawa nilang pag iwan sa amin, na di man lang kami tinanong or ipaliwanag kung bakit ganun ang dapat na mangyari… “TANONG” na bakit hindi man lang nila sinubukang ayusin, para na lang sa aming mga anak nila, na bakit mas pinili nila na bumuo ng bago nilang pamilya na kaming mga nauna ay binalewala na lang?…”SUMBAT” na sana may nanay at tatay kaming umaattend sa mga PTA meeting nong elementary at highschool, nanay na kasama every enrollment at mamimili ng mga bagong gamit sa eskwelahan, may nanay na magsasabing ang pogi namn ng anak ko,ang galing namn ng anak ko, na pag uuwi ng bahay may nakahanda ng pagkain sa hapag, tatay na sasamahan ako nong akoy nagpatuli, tatay na tuturuan ako kung paano manligaw at magpasagot ng babae, tatay na gusto kong sya ang nagturo o nagbawal sa akin kung paano manigarilyo at uminom ng alak magulang na tutulong at gagabay sa bwat desisyon na ginagawa ko, pero lahat yon wala, lahat yon ako lang mag isa sa sarili ko ang gumawa, natuto akong tumayo sa sarili kong paa, simula highschool ako na ang nag eenroll sa sarili ko at namimili ng gamit ko PTA meeting na halos pilitin ko ang kapitbahay namin na sila na lang ang umattend sa akin,desisyon na matutong uminom at manigarilyo… tumatak sa isip ko non na kailangan kong bumangon at lumaban, kailangan ipamuka ko sa kanila na maling mali sila ng naging desisyon nila na iwanan at pabayaan kami naging matigas ako at sinabi ko sa sarili ko na sa pagkikita namin ng magulang ko ipapamuka ko sa kanila lahat lahat… pero totoo pla talaga yong kasabihan na kahit ano pa ang kasalanan na nagawa ng magulang sa kanilang anak still utang na loob ko pa din kung bakit ako andito, naging mabuti or hindi man silang magulang,,,sa unang pagkakataon pagkikita namin ng aking nanay after 14 years lahat ng sinasabi kong galit, hirap, panunumbat at pangungulila ay naglaho lahat, isang mahigpit na yakap lng na di ko alam kung bakit ganon na lng kasaya ang nramdaman ko at lahat ng galit ko ay nawala ,yakap na sobrang hinanap hanap ko at hinintay ko ng sobrang tagal na ang tanging nabigkas ko na lng ng paulit ulit habang ang luha ko ay patuloy na bumababa ay “NANAY KO, NANAY KO, NANAY KO” ngayon habang ginagawa ko tong post na ito naisip ko dapat pa yata akong magpasalamat sa kanila at sa mga nangyari sa amin, dahil don naging matatag ako, kinakaya kong mag isa ang mga pagsubok at problema, at kung ano pa man ako ngayon, at kung ano ang narating ko, at mga tatahakin ko pa

“LESSON TO LEARN” mas masarap magpatuloy sa ating paglalakbay kung lahat ng galit at poot sa atin ay aalisin natin, at matuto tayong patawarin ang mga taong nagkasala at nanakit sa atin dahil sa kabilang banda malaki din ang naitulong nila sa atin kung bakit mas kinakaya na natin ang mas mahirap at mabigat na problema at responsibilidad, at mas mahimbing na ang tulog sa gabi dahil wla ka ng itinatago….

BISEXUAL

Being Bisexual……
What Does it Mean to be ‘Bisexual’
People (both men and women) usually describe themselves as bisexual when they find that they are physically, emotionally and sexually attracted to both men and women.
There are bisexual people in every country, culture and society. Many people report that they have bisexual feelings or experiences, but do not identify themselves as bisexual (’Bi’). Sometimes it is hard for people to stand up as bisexual because their society does not accept it. Other times people are just happy to explore their sexuality, but identify themselves as mainly heterosexual (’straight’), homosexual (’gay’ or ‘lesbian’), or have no label at all.
Being bisexual often causes feelings of isolation for some young men and women because they feel a lot of pressure to be heterosexual, or to be homosexual. Many people in society do not approve of bisexuality, and this often makes people scared to show their sexuality.
Remember, there is nothing ‘wrong’ with feeling, or being, bisexual. It is just a form of sexuality that unfortunately, many other people find hard to understand.
Why are Some People Bisexual?
There is no real explanation of why some people are bisexual, and some are not. Some researchers suggest that we are born with our sexual orientation. Others suggest that people become bisexual because of some childhood experiences. The main thing to remember is that being ‘Bi’ is not a disease or illness to be cured or fixed. It is part of the broad spectrum of human sexuality.
How Do I Know if I’m Bisexual?
There is no easy answer to this question. You can’t fill in a questionnaire or do a test that will give you a definite answer. You might be bisexual if you recognise that you have feelings of attraction for women and men at the same time, but this does not necessarily have to be at the same time or intensity. What is important is that you don’t deny your feelings and that you take time, at your own pace, to explore your sexuality and what being bisexual might mean to you.
How Do I Know if Someone Else is Bisexual?
The short answer is that you probably won’t know until someone tells you – you can’t tell whether a man or woman or a transgendered person is bisexual just by looking at them. Bisexual people come in all shapes and sizes. You cannot tell a bisexual person by the gender of their partner or the friends they keep. It is important to remember that if you identify as bisexual, how you look is up to you, just the same as if you are heterosexual, gay or lesbian. How you dress and how you behave is about your personal identity, not a stereotype.
Bisexual Relationships
For some, bisexual relationships can be more complicated than straight, gay or lesbian relationships. However, regardless of your sexuality, it is important to be open and honest with your partner/s, about feelings of attraction to other people. Like everyone else, bisexual people fall in love and form committed relationships. These may be with a man, a woman, a transgendered person, or with more than one person. There are no rules that bisexual people follow in relationships- everyone is free to make them up for themselves.

HAPPY VALENTINES “NANAY”

A Mothers Love

A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper, and handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After his Mom dried her hands on an apron, she read it, and this is what it said:

For cutting the grass: $5.00
For cleaning up my room this week: $1.00
For going to the store for you: $.50
Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping: $.25
Taking out the garbage: $1.00
For getting a good report card: $5.00
For cleaning up and raking the yard: $2.00
Total owed: $14.75

Well, his mother looked at him standing there, and the boy could see the memories flashing through her mind. She picked up the pen, turned over the paper he’d written on, and this is what she wrote:

For the nine months I carried you while you were growing inside me:
No Charge

For all the nights that I’ve sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you:
No Charge

For all the trying times, and all the tears that you’ve caused through the years:
No Charge

For all the nights that were filled with dread, and for the worries I knew were ahead:
No Charge

For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping your nose:
No Charge

Son, when you add it up, the cost of my love is:
No Charge.

When the boy finished reading what his mother had written, there were big tears in his eyes, and he looked straight at his mother and said, “Mom, I sure do love you.” And then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote: “PAID IN FULL”

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A LOVER…

What Does It Means to be Lover?

Presence is more than just being there.

What does it mean to be lover? It is more than just being married to or making love to someone. Millions of people are married, millions of people have sex-but few are real lovers. To be a real lover, you must commit to and participate in a perpetual dance of intimacy with your partner.

You are lover when you appreciate the gift that your partner is, and celebrate the gift everyday.

You are a lover when you remember that your partner does not belong to you-he or she is on loan from the universe.

You are a lover when you realize that nothing that happens between you will be insignificant, that everything you say in the relationship hasthe potential to cause your beloved joy or sorrow, and everything you do will will either strengthen your connection or weaking it.

You are a lover when you understand all this, and thus wake up each morning filled with gratitude taht you have another day in which to love and enjoy your partner.

When you have a lover in your life, you are richly blessed. You have been given the gift of another person who has chosen to walk beside you. He or she will share your days and nights, your bed and your burdens. Your lover will see secret parts of you that no one else sees. He or she will touch places in your body that no one else touches, your lover will seek you out where you have been hiding, and create a haven for you within safe, loving arms.

Your lover offers you an abundance of miracles everyday. He or she has the power to delight you with his or her smile, his or her voice, the scent of his or her neck, the way she or he moves. He or she has the power to banish your lonliness. he or she has the power to turn the ordinary into sublime. She or he is your doorway to heaven here on earth.
