Ikaw ba’y isang angel na nahulog mula sa kalangitan.. Na mag-liligtas sa akin mula sa kalungkutan.. Malayo palang nakikita ko na ang matamis mong ngiti.. ‘Di ko na maalis ang aking mata buhat sayo.. Sino ka ba..? Pwede ko bang malaman ang pangalan mo..? Sino kaba..? Puwede ba kitang makilala..? Hindi ko makalimutan ang iyong mukha sa tuwing ika’y aking nakikita.. Mayroong iba sa’yong mga ngiti.. Na labis na nag-papasaya sa akin.. Nais kitang makilala.. Sino ka ba..? Pwede ko bang malaman ang pangalan mo..? Sino ka ba..? Bakit kita nakilala..?

Peksman..!


'Hoy!

Anong ginagawa mo d'yan?!'

sigaw ko sa babaeng nakatayo sa may gilid ng water tank sa rooftop ng IT Building. Napakadelikado para sa isang babae ang tumayo sa lugar na iyon.

Humarap siya sa akin.


Si Riza, ang classmate ko sa Biology.'Tatalon! Magpapakamatay! Bakit ka ba nangengelam?' sumbat niya.


'Engot ka ba?! Huwag diyan, pwesto ko 'yan e! Doon ka sa kabila!' Hinila ko si Riza pababa. Umupo ako sa may water tank at sinimulang tugtugin ang bitbit kong gitara.


Ilang minuto pa ay bumalik sa pwesto ko ang babae. 'Excuse me?' pasintabi niya.


'Oh bakit buhay ka pa?' biro ko.

'Sabagay dump site ang babagsakan mo kaya turn off sa libing.

Maganda ang view dito kaya di ka pwedeng tumalon dito.

Hindi na ko makakabalik dito kung magmumulto ka.


''Magrerequest sana ako. Galing mo kasi maggitara.'Umiling ako.

Abnormal yata ang taong ito.

Gusto pa may music habang nahuhulog.

Hihigitan pa yata ang MTV ng 'how can i fall' ni Jed Madela.


Ok na yung compliment niya e pero di naman pangpatay ang tinututog ko.

'Tahimik sa lugar na 'to kaya dito ako nag-eenjoy maggitara. Pero parang di ko maenjoy ngayon.''Pinapatamaan mo ba ako?

Problemado na nga ako, kinukonsensya mo pa,' sambit niya habang nakasimagot.


Parang ginusot na papel ang ang itsura niya. Sa tingin ko naman hindi siya baliw. Siguro nga may problema lang siya. Masyadong masakit kaya magsusuicuide siya, mas masakit pa siguro sa pagbubunot ng kanyang kilay.


'Ten minutes na lang pala uwian na. Halika samahan mo na lang ako!' Hinila ko na uli siya. Bumaba kami ng IT building.


Wala naman akong pakialam kung magpakamatay siya. Takot lang talaga ako sa multo. Kung umattend pala ako ng klase, katropa na niya si casper. 'Bukas mo na lang ituloy ang pagpapakamatay mo.


''Joriel. Dahan dahan..' Engot. Takot madapa pero di takot mamatay.

'Bakit ka ba tatalon dun?


''Bakit ba interesado ka? At san tayo pupunta?''


Hindi naman ako interesado sa dahilan.

Ok i-rephrase ko. Bakit dito pa sa school mo naisipang magkalat ng spare parts mo?'

Napangiti ang unggoy na babae.


'Inabala mo ang paggigitara ko kaya dapat mo akong samahan, bawal na magtanong.


'Sumakay kami ng bus at tahimik lang siya sumunod. Sa may bintana ako umupo para kita ko ang view ng daan. Pero mas madalas kong tingnan ang reflection niya sa salamin. Baka kasi biglang maglaslas madumihan pa ang polo ko. Masesermunan ako ni ermat kapag nagkamantsa ang damit ko.

Gusto kong alamin ang problema niya pero parang ayaw naman niya ishare. Bakas pa nga din sa mukha niya na wala siya sarili.


Kung pitikin ko kaya ang ilong bumalik kaya ang ulirat nito?'San ba talaga tayo pupunta?' basag niya sa katahimikang matagal na namamagitan sa aming dalawa. Ganda ng boses parang gusto kong magpahele at matulog sa byahe hanggang tumulo ang aking laway.


'Sa Tagaytay,' ngiti ko. Ipinakita ko sa kanya ang bilog na bilog kong dimples. Pero di niya napansin. Kaya itinago ko na ulit.


'Anong gagawin mo dun?' usisa niya. Dami niyang tanong daig pa ang teacher ko sa values education.


'Kakain ng ice cream,' biro ko.''Oh yan!' inabot ko sa kanya ang isang pirasong papel at ballpen.


'Para san 'to?''


Gumawa ka ng suicide note. Maganda ang view sa Tagaytay kung maisipan mo tumalon at least may evidence na di kita itinulak. Pakipirmahan ng maayos ha.


''Gusto mo na ba talaga akong mamatay?"


''Dami mo naman tanong. Sinusuportahan lang kita sa desisyon mo. Pero kung sakaling magbago ang isip mo mas ok.


'Habang daan, nagkwento na siya. Masyadong mahaba kaya ipinasummary ko noong nakatapos siya. Inulit naman niya. Nagulat ako sa pagtitiwala niya. Binabastos daw siya ng

father niya. Muntik na nga daw siyang magahasa kagabi kaya pumasok sa isip niya ang suicide. Napayakap siya sa akin. Lumuha. Todo comfort naman ako. Peksman! Walang malisya.

busy naman ang mother niya sa trabaho, minsang sinubukan na daw niya magsumbong pero di siya pinaniwalaan. Wala akong maipayo sa kanya dahil di ko naman siya pwedeng ampunin. Dati nga nag-uwi ako ng pusa, hayun binuntal ako ni ermat nung kinain ang isdang binili niya sa bayan. Isda pa nga lang yung kinain binuntal na ako, eh kung isasama ko si Riza for sure kakain siya ng kanin.

Nang makarating kami sa Tagaytay, inilibot ko siya para mabawasan ang lungkot niya. Ibinili ko siya ng ice cream para marefresh ang utak niya pero iyong mura lang baka kasi kulangin ang allowance ko. Naglakad-lakad kami minsan sumasakay din naman ng jeep. Iniiiwas ko siya sa bangin baka kasi biglang topakin at tumalon, isama pa ako. Sayang naman ang magandang lahi ko.Tinuruan ko siyang maggitara dahil iyon lang naman ang talent ko. Kumakanta siya ng 'you first believed' ni Hoku habang tinitipa ang kwerdas. Napakaganda ng boses pwede kong pagkakitaan kung isasali ko siya ng singing contest.


Naaliw ako. Hindi ko namamalayan, nakatitig na pala ako sa kanya. Sa bawat pagtama ng aming mata ay napapangiti ako. Unti-unti, sumabay na ako ng pagkanta. Bumuhos ang ulan. Pero napawi naman ang madilim na ulap sa puso at isip ni Riza.Naisipan ni Riza na tumira muna siya sa apartment, kasama ang iba naming kaklase. Nagtrabaho siya para suportahan ang sarili. Bumalik na ang dating Riza. Paminsan-minsan na lang kami magkita dahil tamad naman akong pumasok sa subject na magkaklase kami.


Kadalasan, umaakyat siya sa rooftop para puntahan ako. Minsan nga, di ko namalayan may drawing na ako sa mukha. Tapos may nakasulat na malaking THANK YOU!.. Kumakanta pa din kami pero itinitigil ko na bago pa umulan.


'Joriel, thanks for saving my life.''


Nasave ko ba? Hindi nga kita pinigilan e.


''Kahit na. Kung di mo ako nakita malamang wala ako dito ngayon,' seryosong sagot ng unggoy na babae.


'Nandito ka na din lang.. Wag na pala.


''Ano iyon.? Huwag na kasing bitinin.


''Alam mo sa sandaling pagkakaibigan natin nahulog na ang loob ko sa'yo. Mahal na kita. Mahal kita Riza.


''Pwede bang mag-isip muna ako?


''Hindi mo naman kailangan mag-isip dahil hindi naman ako humihingi ng sagot."


' Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko pero inalis ko iyon.

Naglakad ako palayo sa kanya.

Umakyat ako may gilid ng water tank kung saan dating nakapwesto si Riza.


'Wait~!'


Inextend ko ang kamay ko sa may tangke sa may pinakadelikadong parte.


'Oo na. Oo na! Mahal din kita! Please umalis ka na diyan. Hindi ko kayang mawala ka. Delikado diyan!'


Napangiti ako. Bumaba ako bitbit ang kumpol ng lobo na ilang araw ko ng itinago sa likod ng tangke. Bawat lobo may bulaklak sa dulo.Pinakawalan ko ang lobo sa harap niya.


'Peksman? Mamatay man?!' paninigurado ko sa babaeng kaharap ko. Sa taong mahal ko.Tumango siya ng maraming beses, mabilis pa sa spaceship. She hugged me. Sana lang di kami makita ng principal.hehehehe

More than i Love you..

MARTY wakes up at home with a huge hangover.
He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table.
He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. Marty looks around the room and sees that it is in a perfect order, spotless, clean. So's the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table "Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to go shopping. Love you." So he goes to the kitchen and sure enough there is a hot breakfast and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating. Marty asks, "Son, what happened last night?" His son says, "Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk and delirious. Broke some furniture, puked in the hallway, and gave yourself a black eye when you stumbled into the door." Confused, Marty asks, "So, why is everything in order and so clean, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me?" His son replies, "Oh that! Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off, you said, "Lady, leave me alone, I'm married!"

Meaning of sorry


We see that this word SORRY is being used quite commonly these days.. Ppl dnt realise that they are using this word for apologising. Its just become an habbit.. We have lost the feelings of apology when we utter this word.. Said a bad word, say "Sorry" Hit someone say "Sorry". Did not go on time say "Sorry" . Cant help out someone when that person is asking for help say "Sorry" Its become like U give someone a tight slap without any reason and Say "I AM SORRY". Its become an easy way out to run away from troubles caused by our mistakes... Ok its not bad to say sorry...but then one should realize the true meaning of this word.. I was just thinking about this word what must it be meaning... May be its a combination of words together... So I put it this way....


S- sincerely

O- offering apology

R- right from my heart

R- realising my mistake and truly apologising to

Y- you, with a promise to try not to commit that mistake again...



You have put it in a lovely way "Never being sorry" and "Never having to be sorry" I guess we should try to be the second type.. but agreed that sometimes we do not wish to be sorry for what we did.. may be we are wrong at those times..
I feel absolutely right saying that if we are mindful of things around we will not say sorry in a shallow way bcoz then we will respect each and every living as well as non-living thing around..




I guess life has become tooo mechanical... we dont even realize that in a day how many people we hurt...but then ya, we too are humans and humans do make mistakes...The only thing is that we must realize the true meaning of this word... That will help our heart to be at peace...!!

So I began thinking about what characteristics I would look for in my love Mr. Monkey.. Since 1 year is as much about we, as it is about each individual in the relationship, I found these things were most important in choosing a partner..

Honesty-a total lack of need to pretend or hide who we are.. Along with this, a commitment to always be truthful with each other.. Along with this comes fidelity, something I value very highly..

Acceptance- Allowing your loved one his/her flaws, without judgment or intent to change them to suit us..

Personal Integrity- For me this is a must. Any man I'm with must possess integrity and high personal values. This doesn't mean judgementalism or some form of patriarchal behavior..

Strength- He should be able to make the tough choices that come along in life, when his partner can't.. And to be able to say no, in a non demeaning way, when a significant other is about to make a dangerously foolish mistake..

Tenderness-I want someone who will hold my best interests first in his mind, as I would his. To treat my body as precious and treat it with love and care..

Humor-The greatest gift a couple can share is the ability to laugh at themselves and life’s absurdities..

Noticeably missing from this list are looks, social standing or income.. Any man possessing even half of the characteristics listed above is priceless in my mind, and I don’t give a damn about his social standing.. For by possessing these things, he stands heads above most men on his worst day.. If only more people would really think about how very important these things are to a real relationship, especially marriage, there just might be less divorce in this country.. And maybe so many children created in these truly loveless situations wouldn't be so damaged by their parents selfish needs to marry reflections of themselves..

Mistake

I must admit that I have often thoughtof leaving it all behind and letting everything goI was lost and alone, as I always am,So many people around me,Yet no one seems to care.They say they understand and love me very much,But just when I Trust to love, they forget and move on.I held the knife so close as tears, mixed with blood,Began to fall slowly.Like a foolish child I cried.Knowing that I could end it all nowmade my mind draw a blank.I put the knife away and tried to wipe the blood,that ran faster than I can describe.I knew suicide wasn't the answer I was looking for.I knew there was a reason for me being alone.So many bad things happening at once -They can make you forgetAbout the good qualities of life.Even though life is hard,and trouble an inevitable part of it.If you decide to leave it all behind,maybe you will,but I can guarantee that others ....

Family Bonding – The Little Things in Life That Make All the Difference


What is “bonding”?
Quality time vs quantity time-- you have probably heard the arguments. But the real issue is bonding.

Bonding is the key to the physical, emotional and spiritual growth of your children

Tasks associated with bonding aren’t always enjoyable.. but the bonding that takes place makes it all worthwhile

Why do we need to have “bonding time” with our children?

Parents need and want parents to spend much more time with them.

Parents have the greatest impact on their children's learning

Parents determine most of their child’s learning situations. They determine what language or dialect the child speaks, where the child lives, how the child will be educated, and what church or religious institution the child will attend, if any. For this reason, the importance of parent-child bonding is crucial for the child’s learning and well-being.

Parent-child bonding appears to be more difficult with each generation. Parents must work hard to spend more time with their children, teaching them their values and encouraging the children in their God-given uniqueness.


The Different “Bonding” Times

Children need to bond with parents and bonding takes time--lots of time.
Show your love to each family member. Let the members in you family know you love them for who he or she is, not for what he or she does.
Make a contentious effort to let the members of your family know that he or she is special. List at least three good qualities of each family member and post them on your refrigerator. Add to these qualities from time to time. And it doesn’t hurt to tell each other how wonderful they are.

Praise each other. Make positive comments about each other. It may not hurt to tell dad that you missed him or how good mom’s cooking is. Notice the positive qualities in each other and try to not focus on the negative qualities.


• Listen to the members in your family just don’t let it go in one ear and come out the other. When someone in your family shares something with you, give that person your undivided attention and listen carefully. Don't give advice unless asked for it.

Have family times. Have regular times for the family to have fun together, such as playing board or card games. Try to have as many family meals together as possible. Don't discuss problems or concerns during these times unless it is absolutely necessary.

Encourage family bonding time. Look for activities with the whole family can bond together and spend special moments together where everyone can feel close, a feeling of acceptance, and unconditional love from the people who mean the most in their lives.



15 Quick Tips for Family Bonding:

1. Whenever possible, eat meals together, especially dinner. Keep the TV off and do not answer the phone while dining.

2. Help them with homework (or review homework schedules).

3. Attend their sports event or activity (give positive feedback no matter the outcome).

4. Play card or board games of their choosing.

5. Watch a TV program that your kids like.

6. Have a family night out and go to a movie, concert, or play.

7. Exercise together (biking, swimming, tennis, hiking).

8. Volunteer together (serving meals at homeless shelters, building homes for Habitat for Humanity).

9. Do chores together (cooking, dishes, grocery shopping, housework, gardening).

10. Go on a family vacation and let the kids get involved in the planning.

11. Read together. If there is a book everyone wants to read, each person can take turns reading aloud.

12. Share a hobby together or take an active interest in your child’s hobby.

13. Have bedtime talks where you just sit and listen and let your children speak.

14. Pray together.

15. Every day, tell them you love them. Also, give a compliment or positive remark about something they’ve done.


The Importance of Christian Values and Your Role as Parents

None of us can lead a spiritually directed life by limiting religion to Sunday mornings. Nor can we expect children to acquire the attitudes, values, prayers, concepts, and preparation for Sacraments in a one-hour class held about 30 times a year.

Make the learning session loving, fun or rewarding. Don’t say: "You’d better have that Hail Mary memorized by now." (Say, instead: "Let’s see how far we can get with the Hail Mary this morning.")

Connect the teaching to real events Talk about the Mass or Scripture readings or the Eucharist on days that you attend Mass. Discuss moral issues, like lying or fighting, when there is an immediate reason to do so. These are called Teachable Moments because they make the learning less abstract and more real. Most of us learn better when we connect our learning to our lives.

Learn as you Teach. Every good teacher is a life-long learner

You have an opportunity to give your children a great gift – being fully present with them with your love, compassion, empathy, interest, sense of humor, playfulness, and affection. You have the opportunity each day, even if it is just for half an hour, to fully cherish them. They grow up so fast. Don't miss this opportunity each day.
If it is not important to you to just be with your children – talking with them, playing with them, taking a walk, holding them, listening to them, sharing love with them, gazing at them with love – then they will likely not feel loved by you. No matter how many things you buy them, or how often you tell them you love them, if they are not important enough to you to REALLY be with them, then it is likely they will not feel loved and cherished by you.


Remember, without love there is no healing. With Love, healing is foreseeable. Having a family can be a fulfilling and an exciting experience. Our family life is an important part of our life. How we treat each other and the respect we give each other will affect our relationship with that person and could affect how that person feels about themselves.

Families grow and change over time, so it’s important that we have the skills to be remaining close to each other able to keep our family relationships happy and healthy

The key to all of the above is scheduling, prioritizing, and much prayer.

And that is my plan for my future baby JASNY & baby Sajy
