Boboto ko, boboto ka?


Ang araw na ito ay napakahalaga sa kin.
Sana para sayo din.

Siguro naman, by this time, nakapagdesisyon ka na kung sino sa kanila mo ipagkakatiwala ang pag-unlad ng ating bayan sa susunod na anim na taon.

Hindi to biro. Hindi to subok-subok lang. Isang malaking responsibilidad ang nakaatan sa atin sa araw na ito sa ikatataguyod ng ating bansa.

Ohh, di ka rehistrado? Eh baket? And why didn't you take time to register? COMELEC has given you enough time to do it, why didn't you grab the ooportunity? Tsk. Too bad. Tapos ngayon sasabihin mo may pakialam ka? Eh bakit ngayon di ka pala makakaboto? That's just bad. You didn't realize the ramifications of your decision not to vote, una na, WALA KANG KARAPATANG MAGREKLAMO. Okay?

Well, okay, desisyon mo yan. Basta ako, boboto at kung ikaw din boboto, make sure to vote wisely. Sana lang di ka nadaan sa madaming commercials at TV ad. Sana di ka apektado ng nagbobonggahang endorser na artista.

Sana, MAG-ISIP KA. And pagdedesisyon ay ibase mo sa kung ano na ang kanilang nagawa at magagawa. Hindi ko rin alam kung anong kahihinatnan ng lahat ng ito sa mga susunod na oras, pero sana, sana talaga, maganda.

200 Pesos

I remember Mike, talking in front of 100 people, a couple of years ago, started off his seminar by holding up a Php200 bill. In the room he asked. "Who would like this Php200 bill?" Hands started going up. Of course, I raised mine. He said, "I am going to give this Php200 bill to one of you" Then crumpled the 200 bill. I was surprised he did that. He then asked. "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air and again, I raised mine. "Well," he replied, "what if I do this?" He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his black shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air and still, I wanted to get the Php200 bill. "Folks, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease it's value. It was still worth Php200. Many times in our lives, we ...

Be Grateful

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift. When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trails to make you strong, enough sorrow to k...
