.... 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.

What Do You Know About Life?

I remember it was more than 12 years ago... i can still picture it in my mind vividly what happened that very night to me. I consider it a miracle which until now it brought tears to my eyes when i remember how it had changed me. It was the first time i had prayed desperately and felt like i was in the brink of a precipice that i cried.. "God why is it so hard to come to you? Why cant i feel you in my life?" At this point i was about to believe that God is not alive contrary to what i believe since i was a kid... but then that night....He was there for me, true to His promise. That night gives me a different view about life. How simple and uncomplicated things should be and how we shouldn't worry about anything and let things work its way for us everyday. Everything works together for good.... that's His promise.

There are times that things aren't working well for us.. we start to freak and feel that life is unfair but then when we knew that God is in our life, isn't it comforting when we would just tell Him.. "not our will Lord but your will be done!???" God knows what is best for us. If we would just trust and obey his will, life would be better and easier for us. He will be there to guide us and protect us that we wont ever have to worry about what the future holds for us.

Salvation is truly something every one should work on.... but unlike what I thought about it, its not something that we have to work on ourselves. There is nothing we can do to make us work for the salvation that we need. All we have to do is search and see what had blocked us from receiving the blessings that is meant for us. Let Him unblocked us and let his bountiful blessings shower us everyday. A Happy life is not all about money, power and achievements. More and more people crave for it everyday yet when we die.. what are those wealth, power and achievements are for if we lose our soul?

Life is hollow and full of discontentment without the happiness of having God in our life. Its only then that we would feel that we have live life fully when we live in the countenance of His mercy and grace.
