Most simple are not easy

Not all simple things can be explained and define easily, and most of the times, those things we think simplest form are most often hard to understand. Needs logic to determine and with the process that doesn't  go with the natural flow. Cannot be quantified, that make us confused and surprise.

Some stories are like this, even in life too. Sometimes, we say... it's too simple and easy, yet when we are there already we find difficulties to execute things. But indeed, this give us challenge and invite us to reflect, analyze further, process it in our mind until we come up to the best thing to do and it give us great learning.

Like some God's teaching is the bible. Most we don't understand it that easy but through time we discovered it with patience and it's all worth it.

Best ally

My dear friend, who`s like a brother to me celebrating his special day today. Pards is 2 years older then me, and we`re friends since we`re kids, we play same stuff by then, we saw is other as we grow until we go to a separate path because we need to do things in our own and pursue something for our lives and family. Hence, we`re able to keep our friendship, even we don't communicate most often.

I'm so blessed having a friend and a brother like him. He is now working abroad. But no matter how distant he is, he always make me feel he is just behind me. Never failed to remember in every special day of my life. And now, it's my turn to give him special treat of message. :)

Pards,

Happy Birthday and I love you. Through thick and thin you always there for me, distance never been a hindrance for you to do it. You're not a nice guy for all, but for me your one of the best I had. You always had a space for me, have time to stop and looked back where I am. Always had a piece of advice and words to tell how good and bad I am. Your my best ally, Pards. I wish you all the best, happiness and good health for you, to your wife, Ate che and to my inanak. May God guide you always and protect to where ever you are, what ever you do. I miss you here, and I`ll see you soon.

Geerlai.

Pushing Me to gain weight

If some women go to gym to lose extra weight and remove unwanted fats, I`m the opposite, I want to gain weight. Ever since I have skinny body, and it's too difficult for me to add extra pounds on my weight. My height is 5'4" so my ideal weight must be at least 49 kg to 54 kg, but sad to say, most often I`m just 48 kg. I'm underweight base on my height, though doctors says, I'm healthy :)

I want to push myself to have normal Body Mass index. So I really try to eat some extra foods.  But because of my fast metabolism, it's not that easy. I don't have much activities everyday, yet no matter how I eat a whole a lot, point something pound is really hard to gain.

Now, funny yet sweet , HiM also working it with me, since he don't have work yet. For about two weeks, he cook food for my baon. And he always make it with an extra amount of serving. And since, HiM make an effort for it, my conscience obliged me take it all.

I'm really aiming for this, for at least I could be 50 kg, same as one sack of rice.

Sour grapes behind Me

I can taste and smell "sour grapes" behind my back :)
Yes, I`m not an Engineer... who's claiming, anyway :D

I post this on my FB wall, but I don' want to be mean to anyone, just saying and perhaps this person having sour grape behind my back, will think twice before saying again anything against me or whatsoever. Knowing we're not close nor friends either.

Agree with me, it`s quite irritating when you know someone bashes you behind, especially on things you haven't done. If that`s because of  their insecurities, well, I have nothing to do with it. I don't claim to be good or nice at all, I have my insecurities too, but I never drag anyone down because of it. If I did, I`ll say "shame on you Geerlai!"

A Projector

If there is one thing you can give to the Philippines, what is that gift?

Tremendous natural disaster happened to our country in the 4th quarter of 2013. Calamity that brings our country to the darkest hours and days particularly in Visayas region.  Total lost and damage to people`s properties, but the most, kills hundred's lives. In a very short period of time,  Pilipinos try to go back in track. Welcoming 2014 with smile and positivity. Full of hope and new dreams.  Stories of courage, bravery, and faith have once again shown in the country, in the face of each individuals.   The Bayanihan attitude has been visible all over the world, not only in the hearts of our kababayan abroad at also to foreign people. I with my friends also able to volunteer in one of the relief operation unit of DSWD. But I know, it was not enough.

I want to give a Projector. Projector that portrays light in darkness to project images.  Images of inspiration and hope that can be projected to the eyes of every Filipinos. But Philippines is too big for me, perhaps, I could start it in my own community. The Projector will serve as a tool in educating people especially new generations. This will help them made  learning more fun and can be enjoy. This way, it my be an instrument, for our new generation could have a quality education that is very essential to our country to be more competitive as we go for development.

Two years ago, little advocacy were started in our Elementary school in Benguet Gubat Sorsogon. To share the blessing that God has given and give back to Alma mater and also it`s a way of saying  thank you to the gift of life. During the first year, reading books been shared, that pupils my enjoy reading during their past time.  Also to influence kids to have a habits of reading. And for last year, educational flash cards and puzzles, that could helps teachers conducting their lessons, in a way that kids could really participate. 

Most schools here in Manila and Cities in provinces have at least one set of computer or more, but not all have their own projector. In small school like ours, we don't have a set of computer, pupils just know it thru books and television. But, we're lucky enough, last summer we're working on looking for sponsor, and I really thank God for giving us one person to donate one laptop. He really had a kind heart and generosity. Last April 30, 2013 during alumni night I handed the laptop to the teachers. Happiness couldn't be measured. But sad to say, few months after, our anonymous sponsor passed away due to some illness. He may not lived long, others may not know what kindness and goodness he shared, still  there is someone not being named that will always thought of and be an inspiration to all.

For this year, like #GLOBEProjectWoderful2014.  I really look forward that this advocacy may able to continue for project 2014. And it would be great and I would really appreciate if #Globe would be an sponsor and be able to collaborate with their projects.  

Our Benguet Elementary School is Multi-grade School, we only have three classroom, where in two grade level are combined and being handed by one teacher. As one the the Alumni, I really want to help uplift the quality of education in our school. Inspire kids to commit to their studies and believe how important education is. I want them yo see the light of being successful. I want to project to their senses how good it was if you have achieved something for yourself, not only that, the feeling of being able to help your family and being able to share to reach out other people.

If one, two or three people, be able to share and give something to their community in their own little way, how much more if all of us can can do that, which I think not impossible. For sure Philippines will project lights that will illuminates throughout  the world. Best gift that our country could have.

You Folks, what you can give to the Philippines? it`s time to share and give back to our country.  My comments box is free to what ever tiny bits you have. For big things always starts with small beginnings. 

Happy B-day HiM

To my best friend and best enemy as well this is your day.  I thank God for giving me someone like you though to moody, and hardheaded, yet so loving and sweet.  Mahal ko,  I want to tell the whole world how I`m proud of you for who you are. More over, how much I love you. I wish you the best life ever.
