ENJOY LIFE

.... today is another day.

Last night i was watching the news in the TV. For more than a week i have closely monitored the news about the story of the known media broadcaster and commentator Ted Failon and his wife Trina Etong who had committed suicide or is it murder?

It was being known that the main reason she committed suicide was because of financial problems that happened to the family. I then ask my neighbor, while she was peeking at my door while i was watching the news last night, "Do u think money can be a good reason to take one's life?" Sheila then grunted.. "naaaahhhhhh!!! i don't have money but i still want to live" lol good answer Sheila, i answered. I don't have money too but i feel the same way, I want to live long!

What makes me interested was the way the police handled the case and what they did in arresting almost all the relatives and the household help and the driver. Everyone was charged with "Obstruction of Justice." and they were practically picked and roughly shove to police cars and treated like a convicted criminal. OMG.. i mumbled while watching the scene of the arrest.

Yesterday was the day the wife was cremated, and last night, while i was watching the tribute of the husband Ted Failon to his wife, i was greatly touched about how their romance started. He had told how the family had misunderstanding when at 18 his wife run away with him and they got married amidst family conflicts. He had told the story about a romance which from richer or poorer they had promised.. 'til death do us part'. I could not hold back my tears when he said in his eulogy... that he is also thinking, after the tragedy that happened, he thinks death is an immediate solution to the problems he is facing too. OMG i mumbled again. i think anyone saying this kind of thing, should be treated seriously and shouldn't be taken for granted. They need help professionally. The depression which could eat up anyone who undergo serious problems can lead to suicidal instincts! Don't u think so Sheila? When i turned again, Sheila was gone. lol.

I had admired how Ted had soared and how he handled the TV segment they had before "Hoy! Gising'. He was great! He lambasted anyone who needed to be shaken up especially the government servants. Shaken up as in practically. The program was great but it didn't last long.. maybe mainly cause it did its purpose in shaking up anyone sleeping.. ha ha that was what "hoy gising" mean.

What i don't understand is why the police had been so harsh in their handling of his case. Hey guys, is there something else going on? some speculated that what the police did was some rest back at the broadcaster. mm mm maybe so i don't really know but i think its obvious.

Now i must get back to work. I am tired but i want to live. Life is good. Let's enjoy life... but live it sensibly. To live is not about having money or achievements... but to be happy. The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.

NO TIME

A friend had wrote this poem and sent this to me. I think this is worth sharing . I hope anyone who read this will like it too. Somehow there is moral lesson we can get out of this poem....A few moments with the Lord to meditate and talk to Him. He is an answered prayer to everyone that seek HIM.

I have always admired people who can write with their feelings in it. Thank you for sharing this to me my friend.....

NO TIME

I kneel to pray but not for long
I had too much to do
Must hurry off and get to work,
For bills moved soon be due.

And so i said a hurried prayer,
Jumped up from off my knees.
My christian duty was now done,
My soul could be at ease.

Although the day i had
No time to speak of Christ to friends.
They'd laugh at me i feared,
No time, no time to much to do.

That was my constant cry,
No time to give to those in need.
At last twas time to die and when before the Lord,
I came, I stood with down cast eyes.

With his hands he held a book it was the book of life.
He looked into the book and said,
Your name I cannot find.
I once was going to write it down,
But never found the time.

An Affair To Remember

You have more or less known me for quite a time,
Just as i have known you....
And knowing you, i have come to know myself more profoundly.
Have known the inner me better.
I have found myself in you a new but there's only one thing that bothers me most,
And you know it more than i do...but you see,
No matter what happens i will always remain the same as you have known me.

Even if worse comes to worst, i will still look for you and yearn for your company,
The joy of being with you, the nice unforgettable little things we do,
They remain crystallized in the deepest chamber of my awakening,
But it is always you, who would make the final decision...
Will you remain as you are? forever? please remember, there is always me..
