Hello… I just want to share this article written by Douglas Pagels…. This is from a certain book… (Sorry I can’t remember its title…)

TWELVE WAYS TO KEEP SMILING!!!

1. Hold on to your dreams, and never let them go…

2. Show the rest of the world how wonderful you are…

3. Give circumstances a chance, and give others the benefit of the doubt…

4. Wish on a star that shines in your sky…

5. Take on to your problems one by one and work things out…

6. Rely on all the strength you have inside…

7. Let loose of the sparkle and spirit that you sometimes try to hid…

8. Stay in touch with those who touch your life with love…

9. Look on the bright side and don’t let adversity keep you from winning…

10. Be yourself, because you are filled with special qualities that have brought you this far, and that will always see you through…

11. Keep your spirits up…

12. Make your heart happy, and let it reflect on everything you do!!!

Try it folks… and you will see… It’s really effective… Smile!!!

Grabe… This past few days, we are experiencing ulan, baha, bagyo… then there’s Mayon volcano which is affecting not only Albay but also the neighboring provinces, landslide, big water waves (can we call it small tsunami??) which hit the area in Negros Oriental, earthquake… what else???

With these, many people died, many suffered, many became orphan, many were left homeless…

It is so painful to look at them suffering the pain physically and emotionally, to hear them cry and ask if WHY it happened…

Is it nature’s revenge to us because most of us did not really take good care of her??? Are we going to wait the time for our turn to feel such agony???

Why should we, if we can do our share now??? Kumbaga "hindi pa huli and lahat"… But how???

How can people take care the nature if they themselves are killing each other (Lebanon-Israel war, NPA-Militar war, Terrorism) and cheating each other (CORRUPTION, crimes - stealing, car/kidnapping, rubbery)… These are just product of greediness… Greed for POWER and MONEY… for POSITION…

Let us try to look in a child’s eye… what have you noticed??? INNOCENCE, right? Why can’t we be like a child, innocent but knows better… weak but full of energy… dirty from playing but the heart is pure and clean…

Let us hold hands… for good… for the better… for the best…. for you… for me…. and for the whole world…

Life is the best gift I received from HIM… but sometimes I am asking, am I worth with what I am now??? Am I giving justice to this gift? Am I using it according to HIS will? Maybe life is really too short as what they say and we should enjoy every moment of it. If you will notice every bit of seconds in our life just fell to memories… Memories that we may cherish or we may tend to forget… Memories that we want to keep or memories that we hate…

But how do we enjoy life? How de we make it as memorable as it can be??? For me… Hmmnnn…. As long as we are happy… As long as we are contented… As long as we are not hurting someone… As long as we help others in need the way we can…. As long as our life is offered to HIM…. then I can say life is not boring…. Every bit of it is enjoyed to the fullest….
