Gratitude

   
   Proven, when people saw that you have lots to give, more are there to take advantage of you. A beach is one encouraging tool eventhough you dont like to swim, Boracay beach? you  cannot resist it with it's perfectly color bluish water and the ambiance. Any chocolates from 'Bizu"? eventhough its his first time to taste that so expensive chocolates, with a room to destroy you or if you don't have anything to give anymore after..they will leave you or even tell something bad about you. I am calling them "Leach".



   As one grow older, one must gained wisdom. 2010 is wonderful and amazing. The dissappointments only taught one to become stronger than ever. People have diferent character. People knows how to Blog..but what is blogging? (thanks Thor Nicolas)

   When I saw the post of one " Out of School youth girl from a prominent school"  with a status of being angry, foul words, unethical manner...the action does not follow the words..lack of integrity. It came to me like when one guy is drunk..he could say everything as if being drunk was an excuse for his manners...No, we are not dumb or unless few are..its the attitude and the silence that counts. No matter what school you are from, truly Family is the foundation of everything, the basis of our judgements, decisions and points of view. So does it mean without family theres something missing? (debate me on this)

Now heres something for everyone.

   Gratitude, thankfulness, gratefulness, or appreciation is a positive emotion or attitude in acknowledgment of a benefit that one has received or will receive. The experience of gratitude has historically been a focus of several world religions and has been considered extensively by moral philosophers such as Adam Smith. The systematic study of gratitude within psychology only began around the year 2000, possibly because psychology has traditionally been focused more on understanding distress rather than understanding positive emotions. However, with the advent of the positive psychology movement, gratitude has become a mainstream focus of psychological research. The study of gratitude within psychology has focused on the understanding of the short term experience of the emotion of gratitude (state gratitude), individual differences in how frequently people feel gratitude (trait gratitude), and the relationship between these two aspects.--wiki

   Truly Education gives power but action gives a louder impact than words. I don't believe that using text messages is more effective than calls unless the other person is hiding from you? text is better for surely he will read it. While email is one effective tool to hasten transaction, problem arises about electricity and connection.

  For youngster, idealist but reality bites. Getting comfort with so called friends is temporary specially without money. Life is survival of the fittest. So I believe in a Total Quality of management where continous education and improvement for all parts of organization must be consider to get the better end result. If someone gave you the only money he has..treasure it for he is truly your friend. It's the quality not the quantity of friends you have.

   Proven, when people saw that you have lots to give, more are there to take advantage of you. A beach is one encouraging tool eventhough you dont like to swim, Boracay beach? you  cannot resist it. Any chocolates from 'Bizu" eventhough its his first time to taste that so expensive one, with a room to destroy you or if you dont have anything to give after..they will leave you. I am calling them "Leach".

  If someone offers you something which you are not asking, treasure that someone..for they are only few. Now lets go back to GRATITUDE.

eSeM

   Nakakatuwa naman ang aking mga kababayan sa pagbubukas ng dalwang pamilihan mula sa isang tanyag na departamento na kilala sa “eSeM”, nakita at natunghayan ang pagnanais ng isang magandang pamumuhay. Malmig sa loob, aircon daw at masarap lumakad lakad na hanggang patingin tingin lang din naman dahil di kayang bmili sa liit ng sweldo mula s pagiging guro, kulang pa kasi para sa pag aaral ng mga anak at baon sa araw araw ang natatanggap. Nagtapos sa Kolihiyo si Sisa pero siguro sa dami ng kasabayang nagtapos buhat sa ibat ibang panig ng Pilipinas ay napakahirap humanap ng trabaho at ng makakita ay nasorpresa sa baba ng matatanggap na swedlo. Hindi naman makatanggi sa kadahilanang, kapit sa patalim na ang pangangailanagan.

   Maliwanag, malamig at ibat ibang paninda ang makikita sa loob ng “eSeM”. Masarap na mga pagkain na ditto lamang matatagpuan tulad ng Kenny Rogers, Starbucks at mga pinagbibili na para bang mga mamahalin pero makikita mo ring nagkalat sa lansangan. Tuwang tuwa ang mga bata, ibat ibang palaruan kasi ang nasa sa loob. Kung nakukulitan ka sa tatlo mong anak ay pwede mo ng iwan sa hawla, ay! S palaruan pala na may oras bago mo makuha muli ang iyong mga nak, per oras ang bayad at di sila makakalabas. O diba, edi, libre ka na sa pag wiwindow shopping. Ok lang wag bumili, busog naman sa tingin at malamig sa loob, at least walang bayad ang aircon, libre.

   Mahilig akong bumili ng libro, pinipilit kong tapusin ang pagbabasa pero diko magawa, busy kasi ako sa pag susulat  tungkol sa mga bagay bagay na aking naoobserbahan sa araw araw at pakikipag usap sa ibat ibang tao sa aking kapaligiran na may ibat ibang antas ng pamumuhay, may mayan, mahirap o di kayay katamtaman lamang na kinikita. Ang liwanag pa sa loob ng “eSeM”, may libreng “wifi” na tinatawag na at kahit sa mga Cellular Phones pwede na ring gumamit ng internet. Ang galling naman ng nakaisip nito, sigurado ako, napaka yaman ng may ari .

   Ang mga taga probinsya, tuwang tuwa na, di tulad noon mahigip na talong oras ago makapunta sa pasyalan at bilihang tulad nito. Sa ngayon, sasakay ka lang sa jeep or trike, ok na. Nasa “eSeM” na. Puro taga lugar naming ang aking nakikita, teka ayun si Robi at wow may kasama, pwede na rin palang mag date sa “eSeM”. Teka bakit andaming tao kahit wala naman akong nakikitang pinamimili? Pasyalan lang ba talaga ito, akala ko pamilihan.

   Nagbayad ako kanina sa kinain kong lugaw. Aba e wala daw syang bente singko sentabos na pansukli, teka nakakahiya naming kunin ko e maliit na halaga, wala na ngang nabibili sa ganitong sentimo. Kung wala silang panukli bakit ang presyo e php 30.75? sana ginawa ng 31 pesos para di magulo at teka kung sabihin ko kayang wala akong 75 sentimo e ok lang din kaya?

Blogging for Advocacy- "In just one single click"

  
I am always curious about the search engine, there I am, searching my own name. Surprised to see my name under the category of "Blogging for Advocacy" under iblog7, a yearly Blogging Summit in the Philippines and organized by the U.P Diliman College of Law, Internet Society. I remember that in one click from my tiny fingertips I left a message that says " I like to attend and I want to be a speaker ", I forgot all about it, so surprised from that one single click, I'm in.

   Because of three construction projects, not to mention articles I want to submit for Blog Watch and Mulat Pinoy where I am a contributing writer, I can't get enough time to do the Powerpoint presentation for the event. It's my first time to do the talk infront of bloggers which I dont even consider myself as one. When my brother in law sent a book from the Huffington Post about Blogging which until this day, I haven't get a time to read all, though wants too, not until last April 2, 2011 where I undestand what the word "Blogging" is all about.

   When the start of the talk is about Blogging 101 until the last speaker before me, I cant help but think that I am like going back in time. I am already a Blogger without knowing it and Blogging is not for everyone. I am under the Blogging for Advocacy together with Sonny Santos and from all the speakers, I am the only one who is not making any money from Blogging. I am not a web developer or even an I.T expert just a mother of three and an Engineer. My husband told me to be myself and I did. The title of my presentation is "In one single click".

   "In one single click", the power is within your fingertips. One could empower the other person, encourage and influence a politician, organization or individual about your advocacy and could enrich a lot of people in just one single click. Blogging is not for everyone, one need to have Passion. What ever you do its sharing about yourself, it came from the heart and writing will be easy because it is who you are, what happened to you and in which you are just sharing it to others and you never knew, you are already empowering, encouraging and enriching  a lot of people...in just one single click..when you press the "Enter".

   "In on single click", an Advocacy could start a Revolution. The hottest issue today is the "Reproductive Health Bill". Because of Blogs and Facebook, rallies happened, people joined and politicians are empowered. All published articles I have for Blog watch and Mulat Pinoy are part of who I am, my experiences and facts of life. I will never have any topic if I don't like to be with people, If I dont want to interview politicians, If I dont want to be with the majority of the population. Everything is about sharing which became an advocacy and could be shared in just "One single click".

   "In just one single click", I will never be infront of these magnificent bloggers and more than 200 curious aspiring bloggers. With the power of the internet, in just one single click, I create groups with the same advocacy, I expand and advertise my personal business through posting the perspectives of the houses and current projects and standing infront of the people who are listening, taking pictures and taking notes. The experience is overwhelming and it happened because of one single click.
