IF I WERE...

Just this morning upon posting here in my blog, it reminds me of things I wanna be, let me tell ;

If I were the President, I would work to bring peace and justice to my country (Philippines). I would clamp down on corruption and make sure that everyone obeyed the law. Even if something was not on my own best interest politically, I would do it if it is for the best thing for the people.

If I were a billionaire, I would use part of my money to take care of my family, but I would use most of it to help other people. Education, poverty, the environment, physical handicaps, diseases...and of course my high school alma mater, THE SISTERS OF MARY... these are all problems that I would devote my wealth to find solutions for or improvements to. Succeeding in any one of these areas, or even making them a little better, would be worth more than any amount of money.

If I were genuinely honest with myself, I guess that I would admit that if I had a great deal of power or money, I'd probably use it as selfishly as most other How about you folks? what would you do if you were....?

SPEAK THE TRUTH

There's an adage that says " HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY" but as I see it there are too few policyholders. Politicians say, " I really care for the people..."hmmm. No comment about that. Double speak. A nice new art form of twisting the truth and watering down its meaning. This is the fad of today. That's why we call adultery" having an affair". The world can invent new an nice-sounding words to sugarcoat unrighteousness, but God will call it a SIN. We should always speak what is true and pleasing to hear to other people. We must guard our thoughts, because our minds are like streams, maybe so broad that they are shallow.

I want all the people to speak the truth.
Politicians specifically.

I want all the people to speak the truth.
Even ME.

I want all the poeple to speak the truth.
Religious organizations frankly.

I want all the people to speak the truth.
Even the smallest unit of our society.

I want all the people to speak the truth.
Especially the young people.

Once in a lifetime I am offering myself to speak the truth, for it is the real wealth.

MY OTHER LIVES

I wonder if reincarnation is real. Did I have another life some other time? Was I one of the first Filipino in the time of Tabon Man...Negrito, Indones, and Malay?Maybe...Could I have discovered a new world with Columbus? Maybe I was Columbus himself, or Napoleon, or Cleopatra! Maybe I was once a great scholar or an artist or a rich merchant (how I wish) A mass murderer? Perhaps in all of my previous lives I was just an ordinary person, a farmer or a servant.

Have I ever been a monk? a mother? Did I live with a non-human life? I wonder what it would be like to be a fish or a plant. Maybe I even live on some other planet. If only there were some way of remembering all these experiences so I could use them in the future,in other exotic existence to come.

I just wonder... is there really such reincarnation?

WHAT I LOVE AND WHAT I HATE

All of us go through our lives with strong likes and dislikes. We all have a "wish list" of things we would like to do or have, and a "dish list" of things we never want. I bet that you agree with me with the lists I have below:

WISH LIST
1. Have many friends.
2. Make some money.
3. Get ahead of others.
4. Eat delicious foods.
5. Wear designer clothes and top-brand sneakers
6. Get more attention from others
7. Inherit money from my parents.
8. Have the latest mobile phone and laptop
9. Be famous
10. Be an actress (wish ko lang!)

DISH LIST
1. Getting up early in the morning.
2. Listening to your nagging parents
3. Reading boring books
4. Exercise
5. Seeing others succeed when you don't.
6. Brushing my teeth after every meal.
7. Breaking old habits and developing new skills.

Can you see, I have a lot of wish lists...few with dish lists...hehehehe! I really have to get more money among others....

A WALK TO REMEMBER...

I was in the midst of confusion yesterday when I saw a lame along streets that I seldom walk. I was very upset when one man approached the lame person and hit him around his face...( I was frightened too!) I suddenly walk too fast so the man who hit him would not see me. I was trembling and having a mixed up emotions because I found myself in front of the man I hated to see... in front of his face, the exact words that I uttered was " please don't hit me I will give you my bag!" The man smiled and hurriedly took my favorite bag and run away. I once again experience the same thing when I withdraw money from the bank and took my money straight from my hands...I went home with a teary eyes and just pray that, hoping that the man will be enlightened of what he is doing. Maybe God will shower him the light he needs and the strength to overcome his weaknesses...I just remember that thing that it was a WALK TO REMEMBER...
