aftermath (part 2)

pero sa kabila nang mga dinanas ng mga nasalanta ng bagyo nakita ko pa rin ang mga mukang handang bumangon. naisip ko tuloy na iba talaga ang Pinoy. anjan pa yung tipong nagagawa pang ngumiti at magpakyut sa harap ng camera sa kabila ng trahedya.

Laruan

may mga bagay, na itatapon mo na mapakikinabangan pa pala ng iba.

tulad nalang nang batang nadaan ko sa liblib na barangay ng Pagadian City, Zamboanga del Sur. hindi ko napigilang mapalingon sa kanya di dahil agaw pansin ang itsura niya kundi dahil sa bagay na hawak niya.

marami ang pumasok sa isip ko ng makita ko ang sasakyang laruan na tila gawa pa sa isang lagadera (container).

naalala ko ang kabataan ko. naalala ko na minsan sa buhay ko natuto akong matuwa sa mga simpleng bagay lang sa mundo. yung tipong ang silbi mo lang sa buhay ay maglaro. ito ang mga panahaong payapa pa ang isip at walang konsepto ng problema.

how to stay young!??! (naks! sarp maging bata!)

HOW TO STAY YOUNG?

1. Throw out non-essential numbers.
This includes age, weight, and height.
Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.

2. Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down.
(Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!)

3. Keep learning:
Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever.
Never let the brain get idle.  ”An idle mind is the devil’s workshop.”
And the devil’s name is Alzheimer’s!

4. Enjoy the simple things

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with her/him !

6. The tears happen:
Endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person who is with us our entire life, is our self.
LIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love:
Whether it’s family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.
Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health:
If it is good, preserve it.
If it is unstable, improve it.
If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don’t take guilt trips.
Take a trip to the mall, even to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.


10. Tell the people you love, that you love them – at every opportunity.



And if you don’t send this to at least four people – who cares?

But do share this with someone.
