Some students act like studying or doing homework is the hardest burden. They forget that their parents have been carrying the family's future on their shoulders for years.

Perhaps the students'cries of being "tired" should pause long enough to hear the silent exhaustion of parents, whose love and determination to make their children finish their studies keep showing up even when their energy has long run out.

Which one of the groundbreaking developments for political innovations best describes the VP and her lawyer's effort?

1. "Faced with hard questions, politicians are choosing to become hard to find."

2. The new public service strategy: "Duck tough questions by becoming unreachable."

3." If you can't answer the question, avoid the questioner."

"This strategy, dubbed 'governance by invisibility,' involves treating accountability like a junk call—something to be DISREGARDED (not appearing in the hearing), BLOCKED (silence House spam callers) or REPORT TO A HIGHER AUTHORITY (as lawyers forming a queue in the Supreme Court)."

The numbers, however, have become transparent.

While polls show over 50% of the public distrusts the situation.

Other surveys claim widespread distrust for VP not showing up.

A lot of sob stories and heartbreakers had a happy ending because people never say die.  They kept on trying to persevere even when there was no hope in sight. 

It really does not matter how slow and tedious the process is ... as long as you don't stop.

Never Give Up. Even when the odds are stacked against you. Let us always hope against hope.  

In the image ... even when the frog is ready to throw in the towel ... he holds on throttling the pelican's neck hoping that if he can't breathe ... he has to spit him out.

Some people always think FIRST of what makes them HAPPY. They always follow that path even though friends remind you of their excesses.

Since they don't want to listen ... be careful then and watch out. The last time they want to make themselves happy ... maybe is their LAST.

Pinaliligaya mo nga ang sarili mo ... hindi mo man lang iniisip that you are endangering yourself ... nandamay ka pa sa iba. Living life in the edge of the precipice means you are in a dangerous position ... you are extremely close to disaster ... or maybe jail.

It is your CHOICE man ... so when the time comes ... don't blame others for your wrong choices.

Bakit nga ba? These children want to make a good impression on their friends; they try their hardest to win them over and present themselves appropriately.

Whereas with parents, unfortunately, they don't take the same approach. They have known them for so long... so was it right for them to take them for granted and treat them like a lesser person?

Another reason? Parents always understand ... and they can always take their children back and forgive them, despite how bad they treat them.

Friends always kick a lousy friend out of the door ... at the first sign of aggressive behavior.

Sa Ibon Man ... May Juan Tamad Din!

Mga tol ... situation lang naman ito as what the image suggest above. In America, it is standard and typical for adult children to move out of the house at age 18. 

If they can't maybe there are reasons to it like he is somebody with physical disability ... or he doesn't have work to support himself ... he is not emotionally or psychologically mature ... or he is just plain LAZY (like the proverbial  Juan Tamad) and thinks it is the parent's responsibility to attend to his needs till their dying day.

Ngayon may isang joke circulating around na bawal na raw gamitin ang ALL OF THE ABOVE sa mutiple choice questions sa school. Whether it is true or not pinatulan ko na rin ... maka-post lang sa blog. It is like hitting two birds in one stone. Going with the flow lang naman ang takbo ng utak ko.

So sa question kung aling caption ang bagay sa image sa itaas ano ang pipiliin mo? Ayaw ko namang i-paint ang mga Juan Tamad in a bad light ... so we injected a little humor sa mga options. Here we go ...

a.  Hindi ako TAMAD ... ayaw ko lang na ako ay MAPAGOD. 

b, Hindi ako TAMAD ... MASIPAG lang akong magpahinga.

c. Hindi ako TAMAD ... "yong taong utos dito at utos doon" ang tamad.

d. Hindi ako TAMAD ... antokin lang.

e. Hindi ako TAMAD ... gusto ko lang ang follow up at continuation sa naputol kong panginip kagabi. Ayaw ko ng putol-putol ... gusto ko may continuity.

f. All of the above

Kung ang sagot mo ay ALL OF THE ABOVE dahil feeling mo tama naman lahat ... using all of the above is awkward at hindi SWAK and appropriate in today's parlance and lingo. 

Tinanong ko nga ang mga estudyante (who happens to be around) kung ano ba ang term na dapat ihalili dito ... (to go with the times ... and fit in with the demands of the changing culture) and they chorused:

SANA ALL!  

Oo nga ano? Bakit hindi ko naisip yon?

Life doesn't follow the: "... and they lived happily ever after" stupidity." Embrace the curves ... the mountain and the valleys ... the different colors and hues in your palette of life. 

After a "hit" get up ... and rise! When you fall ... stand up and prove everybody wrong.

Then and Now

In Tagalog there are a lot of sayings that would fit to caption this photo. 1. Kung may itinanim .... siya rin aanihin 2. Kung ano ang ipinunla ... makikita sa bunga 3. Hindi magiging sayang ang kabutihang ginawa ... dahil sa huli makikita mo ang gantimpala 4. Kung may tiyaga ... may nilaga 5. ang binhi na ipinunla ninuman ... ay lalago kung ito ay iniingatan at pinagyaman. 6. kung ano ang puno ... ay siya ang bunga.

Kung sa English ito ... nangangahulugan itong parang Golden Rule ... "Do unto unto others ... as you would like others do unto you. Nagkasanga-sanga na nga lang ... iba iba na ang interpretation, explanation at perspective.

If you remember right our parents used to remind us na "kung ano man ang ginawa mo sa iyong kapwa ... more often than not iyon din ang mangyari sa iyo.

Kung anoman ang itinanim mo sa mundong ibabaw ... ay yon ding ang aanihin mo.  What you sow ... is what you reap. If you SOW and PLANT something good ... there is a good chance na kabutihan din ang babalik sa iyo. 

On the other hand kung puro masama ang ipinanggas mo sa kapuwa ... expect the same karma ang kakatok sa pintuan mo.

 Minsan kinukulit tayo ng dikta na ating UTAK sa bulong niyang " Stop na ... magpahinga ka na ..." pero pilit pa rin tayong kinukumbinsi ng ating PUSO na "Kaya mo pa ... konting tiis pa."

Be proud of yourself for staying firm sa decision mo to go on ... and proving everybody wrong.

Caption That (Prusiyon Ng Itim na Nazareno)

Diska-diskarte lang yan. Minsan mabilis kang makarating sa iyong paroroonan kung marami kang tinapakang tao. Wala silang pakialam sa reputasyon ... ang importante mairaos ang problema

Ang iba nanloloko ... nagsisinungaling ... nanggagamit ... nang-scam ...  nangungutang ... namba-blackmail, and others resort to crimes just to get what they want. And then they are caught ... tapos isisisi sa kahirapapan ang lahat ... and worst put the blame on some innocent people.

A sad commentary on what values the young generation has learned and believed. Hindi naman lahat ... pero marami sila.
