Laughter is the Best Medicine

***A man made a visit to his Phsychiatrist's penthouse practice."Doctor, I'm very worried, he confided. My wife think she's a grand piano'.

"I see, said the doctor. "Bring her up sometime and I'll see what I can do".

"You must be crazy!' exclaimed the man. "How am i supposed to get a grand piano up here in that tiny elevator?".

***A young  woman brought her fiance home to meet her parents. After dinner her father asked the young man into his study for a chat.”So, what are your plans?”. He began.

  “I’m a theology scholar”, the young man replied.

  “Admirable”, the father said, “but what will you do to provide a nice home for my daughter?”.

  “And how will you afford to raise children?”.

  “God will provide”.

The men left the study and the mother asked her husband,”How did it go?”

  “He has no money or employment plans,” the father said.”But on the other hand, he thinks I’m God.”

***The doctor was handling the results of a number of costly tests to his patient. "I have some bad news,"he said. "I give you six months to live," "But I don't have any insurance!", gasped the patient. "How can I afford to pay you in time?". "All right," soothed the physician. Let's say nine months then".

My Happiness

I am not the type of person showing interest in things around me, nor the new fashions that are sold in the market.

It was in my childhood age that I really like the doll when I and my mother just pass a nearby store; I know she still has money so I ask her to buy me the doll because it was talking. I never had a brand new doll all are second hand from my older sisters. All I want that time was a brand new bought just for me. Mother was insisting that we don’t have money to buy the dolls so I cried and cried until we got home. When my father saw me crying and because it was too loud he get a piece of midribs and told me to stop or else I will be punished with the midribs that going to hit me. Because of being hard headed I did not stop, knowing that my father will not really hit me.  So, in short I was kneeling the half day and was hit with the midribs many times.

Few days passed my mother surprised me with a gift it was my birthday, I opened it and saw the doll I wanted her to buy for me. Honestly I thanked her but my desire of having the doll was gone. Never had I felt excitement or happiness because at last I have it.

Sometimes I think not the material things that could make us happy.

When my father died I felt so guilty when he told me He was so sorry that he doesn’t have wealth for us to inherit. He said that all of us his sons and daughter are the special gifts that He has in His life and the one that He cherished most. Even if He lived poor He is willing to sacrifice himself just to make us happy. He still remember the thing in my childhood when he hit me that piece of midribs, and that it makes him to ask forgiveness  as he said he did it knowingly that I am still a child and not fully understood the life we had. I, being a hard headed did not exempt it for me to cry ,that time I feel so sad , my father still in his mind those sad memories, in his dying situation He still reminiscing those things that really makes me burst out my tears and really cried not because I pity myself but for my father. He was thinking He did not do the best part as a Father to us. I told Him He was a great Father I never thought of unfairly things he did in our lives.

Material things are not the true happiness but the love and affection we have for our loved ones and that makes us great.

Why Filipinas mostly like to marry white men

    In most part of our country in the Philippines especially those who lives in urban areas wish to marry white man just for a cause that their lifestyle will be uplifted. Good luck to ladies who marries a kind one but on my part most of them are rude to their wives.

      I couldn't blame my fellow filipinas only that they have to choose the right man for them who will really love them. Don't just look on the financial things that the guys could help but the one that would live with them and love them for the rest of their lives.

      I admit its just a shame to use the guy, You must have to take them as a part of your life not only a part of your wallet.

A STORY WHY MAN LIVE FOR SO MANY YEARS

In the very beginning,God created everything

                         and said....

"alright i have created you to manage my creation all you have to do is enjoy your whole life i'll give you 20 years to enjoy and live a happy life on earth" said GOD...

                     The man was so happy and leave.....

        When God saw the cow he said "Cow i trust you, and because of your honesty i'll give you 55 years to live on earth, but you must do something in your life", said God. Cow answered "what is it master?". "You must feed the man in your whole life" God answered. "Can i ask only 15 years to live its too long for 55 years, cow's replied. "Alright", said God and cow leaves.

       While God walking to the garden He saw the carabao mowing. He said ," I am so impressed with your good works Carabao, it is so clean and no grass grows taller here, for that i'll give you something especial". "Ohh,Thank you Master", Carabao said. " Ok, I'll give you 50 years to live on earth, but you must do something to the man I have created, said GOD."What is it ,Master?"said the Carabao. "You will mow and work for Him in your whole life" answered God." Master, It is too long for 50 years and i know my body will be weak then to work, can I ask only 20 years of it?,and I will return back to you the remaining 30 years", said the Carabao. God replied, "Alright, then,,..and God go to His way to the garden.

        In the garden,  God saw the monkey climbing on the tree making tricks and He said. "Monkey, I am very much pleased with your funny tricks i will give you gift, HE said. "Really Master?". the monkey replied. "Yes, but i would ask you to do something, said God. "Ok, i will do it with all my heart, master", the monkey replied."Alright, I will give you 75 years to live on earth but you must entertain in your whole life the man i created ", said God. "Oh, too much tiring,Master. Can i ask only 25 years to live and i will return back to you the remaining 50 years?", said the monkey. "Alright", said God. and God leave.

          "All are set", said God..suddenly the man appeared on His front and said, "God, Master, why you give the cow,the carabao and the monkey long lives to live? and I for only 20 years?". God replied, "why, what are you going to do on earth for too many years?",why?, isn't not enough for you to live a joyful life on earth for 20 years?.

           " I want to live more, Master", said the man. "Can you give me the remaining years of the cow, the carabao, and the monkey which they return back to you?"."Are you sure of that?" said God. "Yes, Master,replied the man. "Alright, but I will remind you that life on earth is not easy", said God. "It's ok", said the man. And the man live a joyful years for 20 years.

After 20 years.....the man is feeding the baby like the cow feed the man

                                                        

 and in another more years.....he works for the family  like the carabao

                                                                

                                           

and more years again....he entertains His grandchildren as monkey do...

                                                           

                                                                                           

                                                                                                

Man had been reminded by God about the life on earth but he insisted to live more......sometimes we are not satisfied for the things we have, we keep on seeking more and more even if we have enough to sustain our needs......

Why People Go Crazy In Love?

If you talk to two persons - one who has never felt love, and other who is deeply in love, you will find them talking in a very different way. If you ask the person who has never loved about what he/she felt about the other's talk, the answer will be- crazy! 

Is it true? Does love drive one to madness? It may not be madness as understood by psychiatrists, but a madness of emotions. Am I right? Why does love do that? To understand this, we have to explore more about love or romance. Is it friendship? Is it physical attraction/ is it liking for each other? What is love and what is this relationship all about? Love combines all these and goes much beyond in bonding. Lovers are bonded to each other emotionally and totally. A lover can not imagine of life without his/her beloved. A lover will suffer like a fish suffers without water, if he/she is separated from the beloved. Love becomes the whole life. Love gives life. Love becomes the reason of life. Life begins and ends with love. That is love. And that's why people call love mad! 

How and why a lover feels like this for beloved is beyond any logical explanation. There is no arithmetic sum that can decide this. It is all emotional. And the emotions are so overwhelming that they engulf the whole personality. Why does a flower look lovely to all of us? Why are we attracted by the sight of a beautiful sunset? Why do we love to walk on the beach? Do we know? Can we answer these questions? Our only answer may be that - I feel happy doing it. A lover feels happy, rather so happy in love that it can not be compared with any other happiness. One forgets one's pains, one's pleasures and one's existence when in love. 

Fall in love and feel the madness. You will get a clue to why lovers are called mad. Did any poet who wrote about romance ever dream that love and romance would one day become part of the field of medical studies? But that is happening. Those in passionate romantic love, experience sweaty palms and butterflies in the stomach. A study has found that it is the result of rise in a protein called nerve growth factors. 

Will a day come when we will get these proteins from our druggists and experience romantic love? I am just joking about that, but it may also turn out to be true. An Italian study has found that this growth factor declines after a year or so after being in romance. Have you felt the difference between early phase and later phase of romance? That is all because of this chemical. Now whether our feelings change the level of the chemical or whether the body reduces the chemical may be subject of another research.

Another study has found that though passionate romance of high level may not last long, some passion may still last for years. That means that we may still love our partner romantically after years and years. Life would be so lovely if passion could be maintained for years and years. What do you think? I think that passionate romance is reduced by nature itself because those in early phase of romance feel like doing nothing else, while nature wants that they produce offspring, bring them up, search for food and carry on other mundane activities to maintain life. Nature is selfish - it always acts in a manner to protect itself. 

The next time you fall in romance, get your level of nerve growth factors checked and when you start becoming normal again, get the level checked again. All romance will go away when you realize that a protein was all that was responsible.

If you talk to two persons - one who has never felt love, and other who is deeply in love, you will find them talking in a very different way. If you ask the person who has never loved about what he/she felt about the other's talk, the answer will be- crazy!

Turn Bad Habits to Good One

Bad habits can form without you even knowing it and they can prove to be difficult to break. However, it’s always the first step that’s the most difficult. Once you get started, you’ll build both momentum and confidence.

With a proper focus and willingness to succeed, you’ll find that you can overcome any bad habit. Then you can choose to replace that bad habit with a more positive one.

Breaking Bad Patterns of Behavior

Before you can tackle the problem of replacing a bad habit with a good one, you’ll need to be mentally prepared to detach yourself from the habit. A strong mindset allows you to tackle nearly anything!

Keep these tips in mind as you prepare to transform your habits:

* Get organized by figuring out the bad pattern you’d like to break.
* Start small, with one habit at a time. Trying to change too much at once can overwhelm you.
* Decide that you truly want to change. If you don’t want to change, you simply won’t.
* Don’t judge yourself. If you make a mistake, get back in there and keep trying.

The Substitution

The key to permanently breaking a bad habit lies in being able to replace it with a good one. If you engage in a bad habit and decide to simply stop entirely, it can be incredibly tough. You might be okay for a while, but chances are you’ll find yourself back to your old bad habits in no time.

Consider some of these situations for substituting good habits for bad ones:

1. Exercise. Exercise is an excellent substitution for bad habits. Exercise can make you less likely to overeat and help you battle other addictions as well. With exercise, instead of just trying to refrain from the addicting activities, you’re actively releasing your energy in other ways.

2. “Being social” and other excuses. Sometimes we say that our bad habits happen in social situations only. It’s true that we’re social creatures, but certainly you can be social in ways that aren’t detrimental to your health! Change your routines to avoid the temptation.

3. Taking action. Your solutions don’t have to be conventional or from a textbook, but they do have to work for you as an individual. Strive to take action and stay the course, even if you stumble from time to time.

Fulfill Your Needs

You must learn to fulfill your needs in a healthy way. Chances are you’ve developed a bad habit because of an underlying need. Identify this need and find positive ways to fulfill it.

You might need to do a little soul searching in order to find the true underlying causes for your bad habits. If you have a bad habit of grinding your teeth at night, you might need to ask yourself why. Taking an action like wearing a mouth guard is one thing, but maybe you also need to take action to get to the root of your stress!

You might engage in many negative actions because you don’t feel needed and loved the way you think you deserve to be. This is the root of the problem that we often ignore. Masking the pain with self-destructive habits is clearly not going to solve the issue. Instead, discuss your concerns with family, friends or a health professional and be proactive in solving it.

Following these tips to help you turn bad habits into good ones may take some time and effort, but the benefits of a happier and healthier life are well worth it!

A Story About Rescue

There is the story of the man who was caught in a flood and went to the roof of his house, to escape the rising waters which had surrounded his house. There he sat and prayed to God for a rescue and to be saved.

Soon a truck with wheels big enough to go through the water came to the house with the man on the roof, and the occupants of the truck said, "Come with us, we have room in our truck," and the man on the house replied, "No thanks, I have prayed and have asked God to save me."

Later as the water had gotten to a higher level, making it impossible for trucks to get through any longer, a man in a rowboat showed up. The man in the boat said, "Come with me, I have room in my boat," and the man on the house replied, "I have prayed and have asked God to save me."

The water had started to overtake the roof, and the water's torrent was swift, beginning to tear away at the structure ripping parts of the house apart. The man stood up becasue the water had overtaken his roof and he again prayed to God for help. Just then a helicopter came by, and the pilot called down, "We'll send down a rope and save you." The man replied, "I have prayed to God and I am waiting for him to save me."

The helicopter pulled away and soon the man was washed away in the water's torrent and died. 

When the man got to heaven he asked God why hadn't God saved him from the rising waters? God replied, "I tried to rescue you three different times, why didn't you take what I sent you?"

Magna Carta Story

Magna Carta

(A sample story)

These story was about an important document that someone was keeping it for 50 years upon discovering the true hier.

There was once an old couple living in the far east who has no sons and daughters to leaved their inheritance. There were servants and one is older from among them was the couples favorite because of his honesty to their masters. It come a time that the couples got ill. Their male master took a paper and make some writings on it then sealed it in the envelope, and told his favorite servant to take care for that because it will help him a lot in times the couple both died.

After many months the woman was the first who died and followed their male master. To their grief they mourned for the death of their masters for about a month. Then all the servants went back to their own homes and took another job, except, the loyal one, who took care of the inheritance that their master's left, and he still keeping the document that gaven to him. So many years that passed He was wishing for the wealth of his master and sometimes he utters "if only my master is alive i would rather ask him help, and he will not fail me".

Until, one day one of his relatives ask him why he still taking care of those riches that he doesn't know who is the hier, and also his relatives was even more curious if there's anyone who have been told for whom is their richness. It came to his mind about the envelope that his master gaved to him, he opened it and when he saw and read it it says that all of those richness was left to him and to his family. He was so glad upon knowing that great news, and he even bemoan of why did not opening it earlier instead of suffering from those long years of poverty.

lesson in life:

We have given knowledge to use them fruitfully yet we remain idle, we just keep on dreaming for another lucky day to come.We don't search, we even neglect cultivating our own self, knowing what we can do,it should be the best thing that God give us to survive in these world.

And According to New Living Translation (©2007)

Each time he said, "My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness." So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.

New International Version (©1984)

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

I am also referring this story about the bible verse that says..King James Bible

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children."

Hosea 4:6

Last Couple of Month

We were scheduled to sing the opening praise and worship at the Quezon  City circle. I was uneasy with the sandals I am using it really don’t comfort me.

That afternoon was raining and my sandals were slippery, we were already called to perform and too late for me to change. I only walk very slowly as it really very slippery. I cannot sing too well and dance too, in short no concentration at the worship.

After we sing and we go back to our seats a co-choir told me that my sandals look good. I just smiled and whisper in her ears saying to her “it only look great but I don’t feel comfortable”. Then we laugh each other.

Sometimes we choose the things by looks or the styles but not considering the comfort that which is the first thing we need to consider in buying things. It doesn’t matter if it looks like weird at least we are on style. Ha ha sometimes I use to buy shoes that I will wear it instantly and go home with pains in my feet.

My Aunt on Her First time in Manila

  It was sunday when my aunt arrive from the province because of the seminar held by the DEPED. They were 7 teachers choosen to come to manila for that mentioned seminar. One of the teacher suggested to buy something in the mall and also for a bit of relaxation. To make the story short they went to the largest mall in manila it was in SM Makati. They were so excited seeing those things around especially the new styles of fashions for ladies.After few hours of roaming around they go upstairs to look for ladies shoes because shoes were located at the third floor. Everyone got busy fitting the shoes and when they got tired they decided to have some snacks. My Aunt was uneasy and she was grabbing the hands of her co teacher to go back to the stairs they actually pass through. Then everyone ask her why?,she pointed her feet, she was barefooted, she told them that when they went up from the escalator she take off her shoes as it was our customed that when we go inside the house we take off our shoes. 

It was just a shame, everyone look at her they were with mixed feelings to laugh or pity for her ignorance, it was really her first time to go to big malls and even going to big cities. Sometimes even if we do not know we should be observant to what others do too. 

Ignorance is not an exemption(My Ignorance)

My first time in manila was, when I was 8 years old. We stayed in my sister’s house in MIA now NAIA. I was cleaning the house when my brother in-law arrives; he was working in MIA as maintenance. He called me upstairs telling that He bring home an Ice cream. They told me to attend to it because it would melt soon. I went downstairs and I saw a can bout 1/2 gallon, the packaging was new to me and I was thinking my brother in-law was just kidding me so I return back to cleaning upstairs ignoring them at all and I was laughing for the kind of jerk. After an hour my sister and my brother in law get back home from the market, they buy some foods for the meal. They again called me and ask me why I did not eat the Ice cream. I told them it is a floor wax; because I saw the can same as the can of floor wax I think it was Selecta.

Instead of scolding me they were really laughing to death. They told me it was a new packaging and they eat first before I eat mine.

Sometimes ignorance is fun, shame if you are in other place. I do have lots of mistakes and ignorant type of errors, like when going to the high rise building and you have no choice but to use the elevator. But I can carry on sometimes, if I am being “stoked”  I only told them jokingly that we do not have it at home that’s why, that’s a great excuse, but wish not always, because not always people could understand , we must be observant on what people do around us. If we will not try to learn we always be behind in the modern technology we have these days, and, wither  you like it or not the world still evolves to a new technology, so for us to be on the go at least  we need to learn and observant, because ignorance isn’t an exemption if something wrong happens.
