How did you get rich?

March 16, 2011
By

Well, unless you start your craft like the ones at  www.personalcreations.com – a website of novelty items for different occasions, you cannot have your earnings that could possibly make you rich.  The problem now is where are you going to get resources when you have exhausted all means, or another possible reason, when you do not have anything to start with? People get rich because basically they had striven.  They had knocked themselves out...

Disability should not be the end of it all

March 16, 2011

A disability insurance may not be the ultimate answer but it could assist a policy holder to augment some basic needs when he or she needs to cease working because of a disability. This matter crossed my mind because of A* who had broken his nose because of a blow caused by a beer bottle pounded on his face by his assailant, and had obtained leg injury which might have caused him to limp. ...

Lifesavers

It’s that time of the year again. The cold winds brought by the Habagat cease to blow, and the temperatures once again begin to rise to stratospheric heights. Fans and air conditioners become overused once more, and people begin their yearly Diaspora to the country’s beaches, be they as pristine as those of Palawan, or as dirty as that which we find in Manila Bay. It’s that time of the year again: hot, sweaty...

Cruises to Bermuda? Not.

Unlike the many cruises to Bermuda and other cruises, this tour made by daughter Kay and her classmates when she was in college is not an exploration for pleasure. I do not remember why and what subject the tour was intended but I remember her exclaimed at how foul smelling the murky waters of Pasig had become. It is indeed sad that the young generation where my children belong will not witness how beautiful...

Are Trophies Worth It?

March 8, 2011
By

When I was younger, I used to compete.  Awards came in many forms which include trophies, medals, certificates, gifts in kinds and cash.  Of course, what was appealing to me, being young and moneyless,  is cash money.    But it had always given me more a feeling of satisfaction when there was a trophy and cash money.  Who would not want it that way? But are trophies worth it?  I mean, does it matter...

Suppress the Urge

Diet pills appetite suppressants can help treat obesity.  But still an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.  The little girl above may appear to be cute because she looks cuddly.  I don’t know why bulges only look adorable or pleasant on little children, but it really appears to be that way.  A grown up obese girl or boy definitely is not good to look at.

Planning for your health

January 13, 2011

Today, there are so many concerns that planning for one’s health is mostly set aside. It is a sad fact but true, most people, especially those living in a third world country, will never prioritize a health plan. In first world countries, in the US for example, the NC health insurance even have a dental health plan for an individual or for families.

A Fetus Among the Garbage

January 11, 2011
By

It was news on tv last night.  A seven month fetus was discovered among the garbage piled in a place near where we live.  It was found by a man who piles his garbage in that area to be fetched by the local garbage truck.  Allegedly, two women were seen. We can definitely say it is a Godless thing because it is.  There is actually a story behind.  We can judge outright and say...

Karaoke Again!!??

January 9, 2011
By

There was a celebration the other day  in the neighborhood that included karaoke singing again.  I said to myself, “Karaoke again!!??” Filipinos are very fond of karaoke singing.  Is that the reason for the brand “happy people”? Not a problem at all because everybody has a right to express but everybody has a right for a good night sleep, too.   These people seem to think that their voices are from the heavens that bring...

Christmas’s for the children, what about New Year?

Christmas’s for the children, what about New Year?

Though the celebration of Christmas is for everybody, I personally feel that it is a day for the children.  It is a feeling of joy that has no equivalent.  If we adults feel the thrill of receiving gifts, the more it is for the little children. I had witnessed first hand the joy that my two children showed and expressed when they were young. It is so precious to see them filled with happiness. ...
