My Life....MY Heart....My Thoughts: ARROGANT SSS EMPLOYEE...MATAPOBRE!

ARROGANT SSS EMPLOYEE...MATAPOBRE!
ARROGANT SSS EMPLOYEES...MGA MATAPOBRE
Just this morning (October 30, 2013), my wife brought our help to the SSS (Cubao Branch) to finally get her SSS ID....and this is what they experienced.
They were dealing with a different employee when one of the older ones, those who probably haven't adjusted with the times that dictate equality for all....suddenly entered the conversation and said for everyone to hear...."Katulong ba, katulong ha? Eh sexy naman niyan, nakamanicure pa." She said it in a very demeaning and insulting way, chuckling. Our help just put her head down. My wife simply said..."Ah talagang maganda yan." But my wife was fuming mad.
This old SSS employee is a relic of the dinosaur age, and probably a member of those group of people belonging to the older generation, and even the younger generation, who think they are much better than the rest, and believe that they can treat their help any way they want to...malign them, insult them, dictate what they should wear and how they should look....
Is there a rule that says our help should look ugly, dirty?
My wife prefers that our help look good. She and my daughter go out of their way to teach them to dress well and even give them make-up tips.....we don't think we're better than them.
We don't treat our people that way. We understand what their job is, they take care of all of us, and for that they are given a salary...but we never treat them as someone lower than us....
If my wife can put on make-up, so can our help....
If my wife can put on nail polish, so can they....
When we go out to eat, they sit with us on the same table and beside us. We trade stories, we laugh at each others jokes....in short we treat the people who work for us as our close friends....sometimes even confidants.
Like I said, we, and the people who work for us, know what their jobs are, and they do it...but that is the only difference between us....We are friends!
I, too, work for someone and I would feel very hurt if I was not respected, simply for being a human being.
If government employees persist to treat our help this way...then perhaps it's time to remind them that they too are just "our help"....they too are just our employees. Their salaries come from our taxes....
They are hired to serve us....rich and poor alike.
Would they want us to shout at them as well...would they want us to rub it in and tell them again and again...that they actually work for us, and we are their bosses....
And when our help and the other employees get their TIN number, or when they start paying taxes....then this particular SSS employee will now become their "help", hindi ba?
Sorry ah...government will have to start cleaning up its ranks....they have to get rid of these people, because these people represent the government.
People were made equal.....
No race was made better than the other....
God never said, na pag amo ka, mababa sayo ang kasambahay mo....
We're supposed to treat the owner of the company and his security guard in the same manner...
We should treat the principal of the school and the school's janitor with the same respect.....
Yung iba dyan, ganun na lang kung gumalang sa mga matataas ang posisyon, pero pakinggan mo kung paano nila itrato yung mga nasa mababang posisyon....minsan minumura pa!
Everybody, regardless of social status, deserve the same respect and courtesy from everybody.
GOD BLESS US ALL...LAHAT LAHAT TAYO!!!

CATHOLIC VALUES?
Just now I was informed that the school needs payment for the raffle tickets for the "King and Queen of SJCS" and another 500 pesos for the raffle ticket para sa kung ano pa man yan.
I have several questions for anyone from the school who can answer:
My first question - Compulsory ba ito? Kasi I am not rich, and I have 3 children...so 3,000 pesos din ito.
My second question - kung compulsory ito, how much time do I have? I would like to get the input of radio stations and eventually DECS, on the legality of this.
My third question - if it is not compulsory, will the teachers not exert undue pressure on the students, esp. the grade school students.
My last question - at a time when several calamities have hit this country, some of them directly affecting some of us and our work, including me....is it right to compel anyone, to buy anything, for whatever reason?
I have heard that a lot of parents, and some alumni organizations have agreed to donate a lot for whatever festivities have been planned....I commend them and wish them well...pero kailangan bang pati yung mga gipit pilitin magbigay? Again, not everyone who studies in SJCS belong to rich families!
CATHOLIC VALUES? SJCS VISION.
GOD BLESS ALL OF US!!!

GRADE ONE GATE
This is what happened at the grade 1 gate of SJCS last Friday.
It was raining, and together with the parents and the other fetchers, we pleaded with the guard to let us in the gate.... Because this was the usual practice during rainy seasons....
We were concerned, not really for ourselves, although, we ourselves are not immune fron getting sick....but for the kids, who would have a hard time getting through that plethora of umbrellas....
But our pleas fell on deaf ears....
This I heard from 2 parents talking...."kulang pa yata tuition fee na binabayad natin, kaya tayo pinapahirapan ng ganito."... Answer by the other mother..."kulang pa ba, eh ilang round trip tickets to Hongkong na yun ah, baka business class pa!"
This us what happens pag pinahihirapan ang parents at mga bata, tapos bebentahan ng walang katapusang raffle tickets....at hihingan ng donations!
This is another one of those new schemes thought of by school authorities....
Disadvantages of this New Scheme:
1) Everyone would get wet during the rainy seaon.
(2) Hassle for parents, fetchers and kids.
(3) Added hard work for teachers and guards.
(4) Risk of losing a child, as you're not really certain that they are picked up by their parents or their fetchers.
Advantages:
I have yet to think of one!!!

CLUELESS
CLUELESS
For the past several months, my Lizzie's teachers / advisers, have been reporting to us several violations or what they deem to be violations committed by my grade 1 baby.....from (1)playing with her hair, (2)writing on a classmate's bag, (3)writing on the table...
(1)- she was just holding her hair, while listening to the teacher's lecture.
(2)-she wrote her classmate's name on her bag, because there was an identical bag, and her classmate didn't seem to mind.
(3)-she never wrote on her table on purpose. It was marks from her writing on paper, marks which went over the paper.
My baby started getting scared every time the teacher would approach us....
When they gave us her report card, they took it back, because they wanted to write a conduct lower than what they had written.... They made me and my wife feel, that we had a bad kid....
Well, Lizzie's teachers are clueless!!!
I guess they just don't like my baby...she was absent on 2 separate occasions, for 2-3 days, and they never bothered to ask why, or even pretend concern....wala lang!
Well, here's something they don't know.... Each morning before we leave her in school, Lizzie would hug me tight, and she would say..."I'll miss you so much! I love you so much! GOD BLESS YOU SO MUCH!"
I'm sure many kids say, "Love you so much.", but how many of them say "GOD BLESS YOU SO MUCH!", each and every single day... Not even my 2 older children do this.
A child who wishes her parents "GOD BLESS YOU SO MUCH!" can't be that bad.
To Lizzie...."We love you so much! GOD BLESS YOU SO MUCH!"
By the way...Lizzie's average for the First Quarter was 92+

A Grand Reason For Everything That Happens
A Grand Reason For Everything That Happens
I remember 5 years ago when my wife was then diagnosed with the possibility of cancer.... I prayed, but while I prayed, I couldn't help asking why.....
Then, for the next few days and weeks we felt so much love from so many people....
One in particular struck me... I had a big falling out with a very close cousin over lost employment, and I haven't spoken to her for quite a while... Then she visited my wife in the hospital after her surgery with some financial assistance....I thanked her and I cried after she left....
I found my faith again....stronger than before...because of the goodness of relatives and friends.
Now my mother-in-law has been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer....and again, we found ourselves questioning the logic for someone so good and so young to be afflicted with said disease....
Now relatives and friends have shown the strength and the power of love, once more....
Cousins who may have lost touch or who may have hurt each other in some way...have now realized that they will always be family... And have chosen to forgive...and have chosen to love and to care...
The reason for most of the struggles we go through... Is for us to find our faith, not only in the Lord, but also in the goodness of people.
Now like my wife who was completely healed by a combination of surgery, the love and prayers of friends and relatives, and the healing touch of the Ultimate Physician.....I am confident, that being the recipient of so much love, my mother-in-law will be completely healed as well.
To everyone who prayed and continues to pray... To those who forgot about the hate and chose to show care and love...to those who took the time just to visit and hold my mother-in-law's hand........ Thank you...idol ko kayong lahat....my wife's family, I included, have been humbled by your generosity..... God bless all of you.

For the Young People
A few days ago, I was the victim of a senseless, insensitive, and embarrassing prank from a group of young people.... Perhaps intended or unintended, the result and the effect, were nevertheless the same... It caused their victim pain.
I wanted to write and post a more scathing evaluation or assessment of today's youth, but my wife talked me out of it, reminding me that my kids were members of the same generation.
So let me just write a small rejoinder on the advises and article I wrote last night.
I am a great fan of this generation....you have exhibited sheer brilliance on every field.... from the academe to the arts...
But what may lead to your utter downfall, is your propensity for seeking cheap laughs or fun without once considering the consequences, foremost, among these, should be taking care not to hurt other people's feelings.
Your right to have fun should never take precedence over the desire to always be respectful, and your enjoyment should never be at the expense of other people.
This is where I have been greatly disappointed... That to a group where much has been given, the gifts have been abused and used for the wrong things.
I do hope they find the humility to reflect and realize the folly of their ways... before it leads them to more serious trouble.
Allow me give them some advice that they should remember for the rest of their lives....
Always be respectful of everyone.
Always be considerate of other people's feelings and don't get your cheap fun at their expense.
When you know you have offended someone, be humble enough to apologize.
God bless! God bless today's youth, our future depends on them.

LOVE IS REALLY ABOUT THE SIMPLE GESTURES
Love is never about material gifts....
Love is more than just saying I love you....
Love is really about the simple gestures... The sweet kisses....the warm hugs... The glances....
That say...
I am here...always here...
To believe in you... To support you...to understand you.... To fight for you... And just to listen to you.
Besieged by so many problems...
I have become blind to what I have always had...,
A group of people who will live for my happiness...
They cry whenever I am in pain...
They find joy in my laughter...
And solace in my peacefulness.
They are my family, my treasures, my life.
Sorry if I've hurt you.., I love you guys.

Mas maganda ang magiging kapalaran niyo.
Sana puede kong sabihin sa mga mahal ko sa buhay, na bukas.....
Magkakaroon ng kasagutan ang mga panalangin nila.
Sana puede kong paniwalain ang sarili ko na bukas....
Mas magiging karapatdapat akong asawa at ama.
Nakalulungkot, na di ko kayang ipangako lahat ng ito....
Pero ito ang alam ko...
Ang bawat pagsikat ng araw ay may dalang bagong pag-asa....
At dito sigurado ako...
Ang pagmamahal ng Panginoon ay walang kapantay at walang hangganan.

Here We Go Again
Here we go again......
The rains haven't stopped sinced it started....
I'm worried about the possibility of lost work and earnings.....
But really...
I am more worried about those who are just getting back to the normalcy of their lives.....
Alarmed about those who still could not return to their homes....
A piece of advice to members of clergy who scold politicians for their greed....
Show us the way.....
Not just by asking for more donations....
But by shoveling the money from the very deep pockets of your own organizations...
Tumulong naman kayo ng hindi na himihingi pa sa ibang tao.... Dahil sobra sobra naman na ang puede nyong ibigay.....kalimutan muna ang pansariling mga plano at hangarin.... At maging halimbawa ng tunay na diwa ng pagiging Kristyano....
We ask the Lord,
"Please let us feel your gentle Hands as they stroke and caress us with Your assurances and Your love....and perhaps make us understand why these calamities keep on happening."

Losing it...
Even if we aspire to learn to count our blessings amidst the terrible weather and the consequences it has brought on everybody...
Sometimes, we just lose it.....
So when the rains started falling heavily again, I started getting mad at the weather and at everything.....
I noticed how my tantrum affected my family....
So I silently went down to the kitchen....
Put on some Sinatra, Dean, Ella and Harry Connick...
And I made sandwiches for my kids and for my wife....
I didn't think of anything.... No reflections....
I just made burgers and ham and egg sandwiches while humming to songs of a lovely bygone era....
Then we ate and watched a movie....and laughed.
Then as they slept....
I prayed.

Darating din ang Liwanag
Para bang nakikisama ang matinding pagbagsak ng ulan sa tindi rin ng mga dagok sa buhay na nararanasan natin ngayon...
Tulad rin ng panahon....hindi rin natin mapiho kung bakit dumarating sa atin ang mga ganitong suliranin....
Pero tulad din ng panahon....
Dapat nating isipin na darating rin ang bukas na may dalang liwanag...
At sa atin linaw ng pag-iisip at
Sana kasagutan sa mga panalangin.
Sa lahat sa ating may pinagdaraanan,
Isa na ang pamilya namin dito....
Sa ating mga may karamdaman ngayon...
Manalig lang tayo...
Kung ang ulan tumitila...
Marahil sa pagalis niya,
isasama niya ang ating mga suliranin.
MANALANGIN AT MANAMPALATAYA!
The harsh weather seems to be coinciding or seems to reflect the gravity of the problems we are facing right now....
And like the sudden coming of catastrophic typhoons...we can't understand why we are besieged with so many problems....
But, like the changing weather....
We should also realize that the sun will come out, bringing with it, light and for us....illumination....
and hopefully answers to prayers.
To all of us who are undergoing severe or even tragic problems....
To all of us who are sick, and seem hopeless....
Let us keep on believing...
let us keep on hoping.
If the rain stops....
Then perhaps it will wash away our problems as well...
PRAYERS AND FAITH!

If the rain stops....
Then perhaps it will wash away our problems as well...
PRAYERS AND FAITH!
Asking for Prayers
Several nights ago... I asked that all of us pray for each other......
Tonight, with my wife's permission, I will be more specific....
A few days ago, my wife's mother was diagnosed with the probability of Pancreatic Cancer... Tonight her MRI results suggested the same probability....
I say probable, because I leave the final diagnosis and prognosis to Jesus.
I humbly ask... I plead, that you join us, all of those who love her , as we ask Jesus, the Divine Physician and the Ultimate Healer, to remove all the sick and unhealthy cells from the body of my mother-in-law, Beatriz Dizon, and replace them with new and healthy cells.
She is a good and generous person. She is a supportive mother, a loving lola and an understanding mother-in-law.
I ask you too to pray for strength not only for my mother-in-law, but also for her husband, her children, her grandchildren and for everyone who loves her.
Please donate and contribute your voices, your wishes, your prayers as, all together, we knock on the heart of Jesus...for healing, for mercy, for love.
Thank you very much!
God bless all of us!

PRAYING FOR EACH OTHER
Today I ask all my friends.....
Let us pray for each other and for those that we love....
That the Good Lord heals all of us of whatever afflicts or ails us.
That He remove the physical illnesses from our body...
And that he extracts the hate, the depression and the fear from our hearts and from our minds...
We ask you Our Lady of Lourdes to intercede for us as we ask the Lord to make all of us feel the loving touch of His healing hands...
Pray for us oh Holy Mother of God...
Give us hope... Give us faith... To go on believing that "Nothing is impossible with the Lord!"...
He is the Divine Physician and the Ultimate Healer.... Let us put our trust and our faith in Him....
Again... My friends I plead with you to join me in asking....

SHORT THOUGHTS 8
When you have Hypertension and Ulcers, Stress should be your ultimate enemy....
But sometimes, we become it's collaborator.... We succumb to the stress....
So what do we do?
We seek solace with those who will always support us.... And love us for who we are...
Then we pray....
We ask for repentance....we thank the Lord...
Then we pray....
Then we try to do what's right, even if it isn't easy....
Then we pray...
And we continue hoping...
Then we pray....
And we continue believing....
Then we pray...
We pray....
And we pray some more.

SHORT THOUGHTS 7
(First posted on FB last August 7)
Couldn't sleep last night..,.
Tried everything...
Prayed my novenas....
Prayed the Rosary....
Read an inspirational book....
Read a James Patterson Novel....
Read a comic book.....
Still couldn't sleep.....
Wanted to make my mind a vacuum....
To temporarily remove all the contents..,
But couldn't....
So I focused on the great things about my life.....
Marrying my wife and being with her each day...
Having my kids, and knowing that though they have given me some problems, they are the sunshine of my life....
Was finally able to take a nap by 5 a.m....
But had to wake up quite early, to face another day....
I start my day the best way I can, with prayers and with kisses for my most treasured gifts....
Ready once more!
Good morning everyone.
May this day present us with answers to our most fervent prayers.
May we feel the warmth and affection of God's love.
God bless.

SHORT THOUGHTS 6
(first posted on FB last August 6)
Just came home from work still severely bothered by a kind of pain, that even as a doctor, I could not treat...
And the infection is affecting my family as well......
I may have to accept the blame, even if in my heart, I know I was just reacting to tons and tons of accumulated pain...
it's infinitely harder when the ones involved are so close to your heart.....people you owe so much to....
but I may have to bow down if only to settle things, albeit temporarily....
When I sign off...
I will kneel down and pray for enlightenment...
Even for humility....
and then I hope to wake up and do the right thing.
Good night!

AN ADVICE...FOR ALL PARENTS
An advice to all parents...,
Being a parent is a full time job...
It is also one that should take priority over anything else...
Your children should take over your life ... And may even stand in the way of your dreams....
Your number one dream... Should be about your children...
Being a parent should start from the very moment your baby is concieved.... To the time he grows old....to the time you leave this world.
Try to make sure you give them everything they need growing up.... Not only the material needs....but the guidance...the proper nurturing and enlightenment.
If you always yell at your children, swear at them, beat them up.... They will lose self-respect, and they will end up doing the same thing to their children...and the vicious cycle continues.....
If your children grows up with love, respect, attention and understanding...a most beautiful cycle will begin.
When your children grow old.... And you become a senior citizen.... Still, be a parent to them....don't interfere, respect your child.... Praise hom when he does well and support him when he fails.... No one becomes too old to need his parents.....
Just tell your kids that you are always there for them.... Then give them a pat on the back and say..."you're a good kid." No one will ever become too old to appreciate these words.
Just spend time with your kids... Not just quality time... Kasi palusot lang natin yan eh.... Pati quantity....spend as much time as you can with them.
Always respect your children.... As you would want to be respected....
Make them feel your love, even when they have commited a mistake....esp. when they have commited a mistake......Scold them....punish them.....then say "I still believe in you and I will always love you. God bless you."
Then pray for them....
Pray for them every day.... From conception until they grow old...
God bless all families.

ADVISES...FOR HUSBANDS, FOR WIVES, FOR PARENTS, FOR CHILDREN
I have no degree in parenting, nor do I have a perfect family...these are just my thoughts...
Advises for husbands....
Protect your wife...,
Defend her and fight for her regardless of the consequences...
Respect her, as you would expect to be respected...
Make sure she never looks down on herself by assuring her of her great qualities and of your respect and love.
Treat her as your equal.
Pray for her!
Love her with all your heart!
Advises for wives....
Respect your husband...
For men have extremely fragile egos
Never shout at him, never berate him, never swear or curse at him...regardless....
Unless he swears at you first...
Make sure he doesn't lose his self-respect.
Pray for him!
Love him with all your heart!
Advises for parents...
Treat your children as if they were your most cherished gifts from the Lord...
Not possessions, but gifts.
Always be there for them..
Respect them and be worthy of their respect...
Lecture them, but do not berate them, insult them or embarrass them....
Do not pressure them...
Be a good role model for them...
Teach them about God...teach them to pray.
Pray for your children!
Love them with all your heart!
Advises for children....
Please obey and respect your parents....
If you have siblings, unite and protect each other...
Then study....
Not much is required of you....
Remember....you may just be the glue that holds your family together.
You are the future of your family.
Pray for your parents and for your siblings!
Love you parents and your siblings with all your heart!
For everyone...,
Words once spoken, can never be taken back.... They tear into the heart....and that kind of wound takes a long time to heal....so always choose your words carefully....and if you may have offended someone, apologize immediately!
Forgive even when the pain still exist....
RESPECT is almost as important as LOVE....no one can say he loves someone if he does not respect her.
Then pray....pray for guidance....pray for patience....pray for enlightenment.
Pray for each other!
Pray that the Lord listens to the prayers of everyone who believes in Him, and that He grants our most fervent desires.
God bless all families!

A NEW POPE ---NEW HOPE
Pope Francis, in a stunningly candid
assessment of the state of the Catholic Church, said on Saturday it
should look in the mirror and ask why so many people are leaving the
faith of their fathers.
"I would like all of us to ask ourselves today: are we still a Church capable of warming hearts?"
The Argentine Pope referred to what he called "the mystery of those who leave the Church" because they think it "can no longer offer them anything meaningful or important."
_____________________________________________________________
A few months back, a survey was made regarding the number of Filipinos who still attend Mass....the results....the devotees had decreased by a very significant number...the Philippine Catholic Church Hierarchy, instead of finding out why, lashed out at those who made the survey....questioning instead the purpose of the survey, rather than analyzing the results and reflecting afterwards...
They then continued asking for second collections......
asking exorbitant tuition fees and hospital fees....
Now, perhaps with a leader more attuned to what the poor really needs...they will finally wake up before they lose even more Catholics....
To be entirely honest, I remain a Catholic, because I know it is where I and my family belong....because there are some members of clergy who have made my belief in the religion stronger, because they have increased my faith in my Lord, through their words and their actions....
let me mention a few...Father Alverio, Father Jerome, Father Bernie, Father Pavol...and of course, Father Peter Yang and Father Charles Tchou..there have been a few others whose sermons have stimulated me and invigorated my faith...but let us be honest...there are just some of them who might just make you run of the church with their sleep-inducing sermons, their ill conceived jokes and comments, their uncharacteristic rumor mongering, and their incredible insensitivity to the real plight of most Filipinos.
Again...I hope Pope Francis makes each and every member of the Catholic Church honest...
Honest enough to admit...that this sudden exodus can only be their fault....don't blame it on government...just look in the mirror...
Then please pray....pray like you've never done before...then lead us with sensitivity, with sincerity, and with love...
This and only this can restore everybody's belief in the Catholic Church..and more importantly, strengthen our faith in the Lord.
God bless all Catholics everywhere!
God bless all of us!

MY PRECIOUS
I was having some difficulty accepting the
fact that not only Nikki is sick... But Niccolo has tonsillitis as
well....frustration was setting in and I wasn't pleasant company for
anyone....
So I went down alone...just because I needed to... Then I decided to cook something for my kids... So that they could eat before they took their meds.
After a while, my son followed to accompany me....
While cooking the food....my frustrations disappeared...
After I finished cooking....my wife went down to help me wash the dishes and clean the kitchen...
Then I went up to the waiting arms of my Lizzie, pleading me to read her a story....
Nikki asked me to hug her as she slept.
I sang old standards of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin to lull them to sleep....
Everyone is asleep now....except for me....
Still not sleepy...
I look at them.... They are so precious to me, and I am so blessed to have them in my life...."Lord please watch over them always, listen to their prayers, and heal them of whatever ails them....please my Lord."
Good night my friends.
God bless you and everyone you hold dear.

Then I remember this was how my ulcers felt back then.... But these days, unless the pain is of gargantuan proportions...I handle it.... I live with it....
So I will handle these back pains and learn to control it... Until one day it won't bother me much....
This is how I try to look at life now.... The problems, the struggles will always be present... I just have to carry them with as much grace as I can, while I continue to fight and find solutions.....then I continue to believe and to pray that the answers will come.
As long as I have the people I love with me, esp. those that love me back....my faith in my Lord is whole and it is strong...
I have a wonderful life... And it can only be more beautiful.)

SANA AKO NA LANG
This morning Lizzie asked me...."Dad, sabi ni
mom, she made a wish na sana siya na lang may sakit. Is that true? Does
she really want that?"
I said...."Yes! Your mom meant every word. There is nothing more painful for a parent than to see her baby in pain, and suffering.... So yes, we would both prefer, na sana kami na lang may sakit...gumaling ka lang."
There is nothing extra-ordinary about this love...it is just payback for all the joy you've brought into our lives baby.
Fight this illness and please be strong and get well my baby.
God bless you my baby....may you feel the warmth of Our Lord's healing touch and the tenderness of His beautiful love

ABORTION...TO....ADOPTION
I am not going to pretend to understand what a
parent with a special child feels....I will never do that, nor do I
plan to lecture them on what to do...I am just here to tell you a
story....
More than 10 years ago when I was just starting with my medical practice and before my first clinic was burned down...I would often be called to make a special house call to a very special patient....her name was "Angel". She was an angel to the family she lived with.
When Angel's mother was pregnant with Angel, a neighbor, a couple, knowing how difficult it had become for Angel's parents, to raise their children, for they had so many...offered to adopt Angel. Her parents agreed. So it was a done deal.
When the baby came out...she had "hydrocephalus" or she had fluid inside her head...no exact treatment was advised except the usual shunts and a promise of possible surgery when she's older. The neighbors, or the couple, who promised to adopt her....fulfilled their promise and adopted her...and they named her Angel.
When I first met Angel, she was almost 2 years old, she could not turn her head anymore as it was had grown as big as a watermelon, she couldn't see, because there was a mass on her nose that was pulling her eyes to the middle. But Angel, every time I saw her, had a smile on her face. I was called in for the minor problems like cough, colds, abdominal pains.
What was so wonderful about this couple who adopted her, was that they never treated her as a burden or "pabigat"...they were poor, they lived in a very small house, near shanties, but they endeavored to get an air-condition for Angel and the father had to work double time. I would speak to them about Angel and her future...and they would tell me, that they had spoken to the experts and were informed of her life expectancy....but they said they didn't care, they would cherish every moment they spend with Angel...and that not even for a single moment, did they ever regret adopting Angel....They said she was heaven sent and that she had filled their house and their hearts with love.
I would always leave their house teary-eyed as I had grown very fond of Angel, I felt so sad for the couple because I knew they would lose Angel.....but I was also thankful to have met people like them...
Angel, who always had a smile on her face....her smiles made me smile as well.
Her parents who are just heroes as far as I'm concerned....2 of the most wonderful people I've ever known...
After the fire, I lost touch with this remarkable family....I pray that God had fulfilled all of their most fervent wishes.
Again...no lectures here....just a remarkable love story!
God bless all of us.

NEVER TOO SOON...MAY BE TOO LATE
No matter how sad you feel....
No matter how worthless you are made to feel by someone who means so much to you....
Even when he ridicules you behind your back....
And even when because of that you find yourself slouching all the time as if your once broad shoulders would break at the burden.....
When you have a wife who stands by you....
And children who tell you what you need hear....
Everything serms better....
But, sometimes a tight embrace and a magical kiss, is all that's needed....
And Voila! You pick yourself up because you know you are needed and you are loved.
My friends.... Please don't spare words when it comes to telling people that you love them....
It is never too soon....but it could be too late... To tell people that you love them.

SHORT THOUGHTS 5
Sometimes I don't know if I was placed in my family's lives to take care of them, or if it's the other way around...
They were placed in my life to take care of me..to make me feel better about myself..to make me remember God's Kindness and God's Love.
Thank you guys!

MISERY LOVES COMPANY
Our morning seem beautiful when we are happy....
But every morning can seem like the best.... When everyone around you is happy.
There will always be those who persist and insist to be miserable and even mean, and would want to spread the misery around....we let them be....you know the saying "misery loves company"....we resist it....
Instead we spread joy and invite laughter to those willing to be infected.
We block the negatives and concentrate on the positives and we influence others to the same.
I am not in good shape right now....in so many ways and in several aspects... And sometimes I am unable to hide it.... So the people around me, esp. those that mean the world to me are affected...so I snap out of it.... And I find things to smile about and even laugh about... And pretty soon everyone else is elated, the mood changes and peace and happiness and beauty reigns once more.
To those I've affected in a negative way.... Sorry.
To those who persist to be miserable, I'm not sure I can help you without being miserable myself, I hope you help yourself as well, and see that there are so many things to be happy about.
To those who have contaminated me with joy and laughter....thank you so much for the oxygen.
To those I may have infected with a smile or a story or a disposition...I hope I made your day brighter... And you made mine too, because to ellicit a smile or a laughter from someone is just the greatest feeling.
Spread the joy!
God bless all of us....pati yung mga galit at masungit.

A WELCOME / UNWELCOME DOSE OF REALITY
As I was fetching my Lizzie from her class, one of her classmates asked me a question that got me a little depressed.....the question....
"Are you Charlize's or Lizzie's Ang-kong or grandpa?"
Ouch! I said "No, I'm her dad."
Then the same kid says, "because you look old eh."
Ouch again! I am after all 47 and had Lizzie when I was 40... So I'm probably the oldest Father in their class....pero ouch pa rin... Sakit!
Just a few days earlier some yayas or nanny's said my wife was so beautiful and looked like she was just 28, and they said I looked old and we weren't bagay....
Aray ko po! Sakit naman nun!
Inisip ko na lang, I'm fortunate kasi my wife is gorgeous, ang ganda naman talaga.... Kaya naman maganda pagkakayari ng mukha ng mga anak ko.
I have been blessed to have them and their love in my life, kahit ganito lang ako.
So sabi ko okay lang kung yun ang tingin nila.... Pero parang magkakasakit yata ako sa sama ng loob.
Good evening friends!
God bless!

SHORT THOUGHTS...4
"The presence of your problem doesn’t mean the absence of God. You might not feel it, but God is right now working behind the scenes to work things out for your good."
......Joseph Prince...
When I read this, I was immediately strengthened and inspired....
If one can be inspired by a message from someone he doesn't know personally, can you imagine the effect a message can have on him, if it came from someone he loved.
...and that is why I write about, and text, the people I love, about how I am blessed to have them and how they are just the best ever....as often as I can, even when I, myself, am sad, depressed or even hurt....
the effect a simple message can have also depends on the receiver of the message...but more often than not, the effect can only be one of inspiration...
and really, can there ever be a better feeling....
than that of being loved.
So friends, don't ever be too lazy or too tired to send messages of love and support to people you care about....it may just spell the difference between staying down or picking himself up.
So write...text or...talk...
God bless!

SHORT THOUGHTS
Most often, the best person in a household turns out to be the youngest, the most innocent....
For while adults can be so mean and hurtful with their words and their lies....
Little children can be noisy, can be bothersome....but they will never hurt your feelings on purpose.... and they are never too proud to say "I'm so sorry!"....and they always know when you need a hug or a kiss.
God bless all adults, may the good Lord enlighten them to be more true, and more child-like.
God bless all children for making our world a better place to live in.

FRIENDS
A FRIEND
For the past few months, I have been receiving text messages every morning...they talk about hope, about Faith, about the Lord...and they come from one man.
He is a senior citizen, although he doesn't look like one, he looks very young, probably due to his positive outlook. I first knew him as my patient and as the father of my patients. Then I and my wife would often see him taking a stroll at one of the nearby malls, then we had coffee and started talking about life....then I sent him some of the notes and articles I've written. He thanked me and after that, sent me a message telling me that my writings were inspiring and asked me to continue as I seem to be a blessing to others....I was humbled by this man's kind words.
When I fell to gastric ulcers a month ago, he immediately sent fruits over. But more importantly, from that first cup of coffee, he has sent me inspiring messages each day. Sometimes I would wake up on the wrong side of the bed, or would feel so besieged with problems...then I would hear the beeping of my cellphone informing me of an incoming message....and it would be from him...and as if he knew what I was going through...his message would hit me where I needed it most....and I would pick myself up, say a short prayer, and hope and believe in the promise of better days ahead.
It is perhaps only human to lose some confidence, to fear, to have doubts. Then perhaps it takes good friends, great human beings to remind us, to hold on, to stay strong..the Lord listens, the Lord loves us.
Great friends are like "family", sometimes even more...and like our family,they become anchors from which we derive stability and strength. So when we thank God for giving us our family, thank Him also for the pleasure and the honor of having great friends.
My kids asked why I put so much stock on friendship, this was my answer..."When your friend offers you comfort or a kind word, they remind you of God's concern and of His love. Whatever they give you, they are God's gracefulness in action. A true friend may be likened to God's image."
To my friends...thank you, words are not enough..but thank you!
God bless all of you!

HONESTY
Honesty---always!
Before committing to someone, be entirely honest about your past. You may believe that your past should not matter anymore, but you should let your partner decide that.
He or she may be able to look beyond your tragic or, or even, sordid past, but he will always remember that you lied to him.
Your past may not matter much, but your honesty always will!

FOR MANILA
"Kung ako man ay ex-convict, ito ay dahil sa
aking prinsipyo." Then, comparing himself with Mandela, Aung San Suu Kyi
and Ninoy Aquino, "We were all convicted. That is why we are men of
conviction."......
This was an excerpt of ERAP's inaugural speech as Mayor of Manila....
Mandela, Suu Kyi and the children of Ninoy should be insulted, because none of these people ERAP mentioned were convicted of plunder...of stealing from an impoverished nation.
ERAP believes his being elected as mayor vindicates him of his crimes....does it also follow then, that Arroyo's being elected for 2 terms as representative of Pampanga, vindicate her of her crimes as well?
I hope he makes good on his promises to the people of Manila. I don't really believe he will, because he has never owned his sins....he has never accepted his crimes and his faults..there has been no semblance of repentance...there is however an abundance of arrogance!!! Does it not follow that if you do not know that you have done wrong, you will do it again...this is simple logic!!!
But we can all hope for the best, for the people of Manila!

YOU CHANGE!
YOU CHANGE
The Divorce Bill, the Anti-Corporal Punishment Law...Now a sector of government is studying plans to decriminalize prostitution and gambling……When will they stop messing with the Filipino Family?
First bill gives you and your spouse easy access to a broken home and a ruined childhood for your kids...
2nd bill tells you and commands you on how to discipline your child. I don't spank my kids, but I don't presume to know how others should discipline their children, unless the child is humiliated or beaten up....
Now a group is planning to decriminalize prostitution and gambling, in a Christian, in a Catholic country…..
One destroys the lives of young women, the other (gambling) encourages and actually profits from the addiction of people, some of them, the bread winner of a family.....
Dear Politicians, it doesn't take a genius to discover the cause of our country’s problems, specifically poverty….look into your hearts, you are the problem…you stole, and continue to steal relentlessly from our impoverished nation where eating less than 2 meals a day may soon become the norm for the less fortunate….
Kayo ang dahilan….nasa inyo rin ang solusyon, ang isang matinding pagbabalik loob, at pagbabago…
Hindi kaming mga ordinaryong mamamayan ang dapat niyong baguhin….KAYO….
We, the ordinary citizens are doing our part….so don’t change us too much…YOU CHANGE!
Para sa mga mambabatas...kung puede naman, kapag gumawa kayo ng bagong panukalang batas...huwag naman yung masayadong nanghihimasok sa Pamilyang Pilipino.
Ang kabiguan ng bansang ito, ay hindi dahil sa ordinaryong mga mamamayan na mas marami pa ring mapagmahal sa pamilya, masipag, at makaDiyos...
Ang kabiguan ng Bansang ito ay dahil sa mga Politiko at mambabatas na ganid at mas mahal ang sarili kaysa sa bayan at pamilyang Pilpino.
Ang pagkakasala lang ng ordinaryong mamayan ay hindi tayo marunong bumoto ng tama. Yan ang malaki nating pagkakamali! Pero maliban diyan...ang mga politico at mambabatas...sila ang may sala! Kaya tigilan na sana ang sobrang pakikialam sa Pamilyang Pilipino...ngayon itong gusto niyong bagong gawin, ay paninira pa ng Pamilya.
Mag-ayos naman kayo. Kahit nakakainis, nandyan na kayo sa poder ng kapangyarihan....gumawa naman kayo ng tama!!! Please lang!!!
May God enlighten everyone in government and all the politicians to reflect, to examine their conscience, to change....to pray...then guided by the Lord, do what's right, not just for their families, but for every Filipino Family.
God bless the Philippines.

Hindi kaming mga ordinaryong mamamayan ang dapat niyong baguhin….KAYO….
We, the ordinary citizens are doing our part….so don’t change us too much…YOU CHANGE!
Para sa mga mambabatas...kung puede naman, kapag gumawa kayo ng bagong panukalang batas...huwag naman yung masayadong nanghihimasok sa Pamilyang Pilipino.
Ang kabiguan ng bansang ito, ay hindi dahil sa ordinaryong mga mamamayan na mas marami pa ring mapagmahal sa pamilya, masipag, at makaDiyos...
Ang kabiguan ng Bansang ito ay dahil sa mga Politiko at mambabatas na ganid at mas mahal ang sarili kaysa sa bayan at pamilyang Pilpino.
Ang pagkakasala lang ng ordinaryong mamayan ay hindi tayo marunong bumoto ng tama. Yan ang malaki nating pagkakamali! Pero maliban diyan...ang mga politico at mambabatas...sila ang may sala! Kaya tigilan na sana ang sobrang pakikialam sa Pamilyang Pilipino...ngayon itong gusto niyong bagong gawin, ay paninira pa ng Pamilya.
Mag-ayos naman kayo. Kahit nakakainis, nandyan na kayo sa poder ng kapangyarihan....gumawa naman kayo ng tama!!! Please lang!!!
May God enlighten everyone in government and all the politicians to reflect, to examine their conscience, to change....to pray...then guided by the Lord, do what's right, not just for their families, but for every Filipino Family.
God bless the Philippines.

DEPRESSION
I am
not undergoing depression, but there is some anxiety, some fears, some
doubts.......then while scanning some of the articles or notes I've
written over the years, I came across this particular article, which I
will re-post below.....and to my surprise....I was greatly affected by
it....I viewed my day with renewed vigor and hope.
If my articles, my notes, my posts have inspired even one person, to go on praying...to go on believing.....to continue hoping....
Then I am happy, with a joy that is beyond great, because in my small humble way....I have may have done something to allay the fears, the doubts and even the depression of friends.....
So I hope I have done just that....and thank you for all of those who continue to read...
God bless all of you!
Here is the small note I wrote some years ago........
Spoke to someone dear to me, who was undergoing depression and anxiety due to problems..imagined and real...this was my advise..as a doctor and as someone who cares..."go to back to church...look for your Faith and strengthen it...pray more often and more fervently. Why? When your faith is strong and you keep on praying..it's an admission of continuous hope...for a better tomorrow...because you are confident that God exists...that God is never far away..that God loves you."

NICCOLO AND LIZZIE
First posted on June 27, 2013
Yesterday before leaving school after bringing the kids their lunch.... I informed Niccolo that Lizzie was not in good spirits that day and was crying silently as I left....... So immediately, Niccolo went to check on Lizzie and he found her coming out of the comfort room crying...... His heart melted as he pitied her baby sister but could not do anything about it..... So he told her to go to the teacher and tell her the problem.....
What he saw next infuriated him..... Niccolo said he saw the teacher just look at Lizzie once and proceed to talk with another student, while Lizzie was still crying..... He said he said he wanted to tell the teacher that his sister was just 7 years old and needed some care and attention, and that she, as the adviser was supposed to act as a second mother to all the kids..... Niccolo said, he had a hard time controlling himself, because he watched his sister from a distance and his heart was breaking...... He left only, when he finally saw Lizzie talking to a classmate and seemingly recovered......
I texted my son back and asked him to hold his anger as it would do no good for Lizzie.....but may cause harm for both Lizzie and even him..... Said teacher might not appreciate his love for Lizzie and may accuse him of being disrespectful and Lizzie, of being too childish..... So I thanked my son and told him I was proud of him..........
2 points.......
First, I don't see the point in the teacher's action or inaction.....I even show concern for Lizzie's classmates when they cry looking for their mother or nannies, so I do expect more concern from the grade 1 teachers, the students are, after all, just 7 years old and is spending 9 hours in school, and we're just on the 2nd week of classes.... Will it do them any harm if they are shown more concern? Will they grow up weak because of that?...... Until last night, this was Lizzie's nagging question to all of us..... "Lahat ba ng teacher sa grade 1 walang masyadong care sa akin?" ..... So can anybody please tell me, if the teacher's reaction did anything good for anybody?....... It was Niccolo who answered Lizzie, he said, "My teacher then , Ms. Bagalayos, showed great care for all of us, esp. those who were crying, and I have never forgotten her goodness. So, no, not all of your teachers will be insensitive, some of them will be good and loving. So just be brave and always remember that I, your A-hia is just in the same building as you." ..... I could not have said it better..........
2nd, to my son, I am proud of you..... I was right about you, I always knew you would protect your sisters and your mother...... Yesterday you really became an A-hia, and I love you even more for it.
God bless all teachers for teaching our kids and for taking care of them.... May some of you esp. those handling the very young students, be more enlightened to be more motherly to the students... How you treat these small kids may greatly affect their image of people and how to treat them.
God bless all of our kids!

MACARONI
Today for lunch, with the able assistance from my lovely wife,....I made Fried Macaroni....and for me, there is nothing I enjoy more than serving the people I love dearly, and...esp. when they truly appreciate it....there may be some negative comments, that may be quite hurtful, but why focus on the what may cause you pain, when you can focus on praises esp. the ones filled with love..... And an ordinary Sunday, becomes a wonderful day.....thank you to my beautiful wife and my sweet children. God bless all of us!
