Touching story for a working parents! See UP
A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.
SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
DAD: "Yeah sure, what it is?" replied the man.
SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.
SON: "I just want to know.. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "If you must know, I make $20.00 an hour."
SON: "Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow $10.00 ?"
The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behaviour."
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.
The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that
$10.00 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.
"Are you asleep, son?" He asked.
"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier" said the man.
"It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $10.00 you asked for."
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" He yelled.
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.
"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father grumbled.
"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.
"Daddy, I have $20.00 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?
Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness.
It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.
Do remember to share that $20.00 worth of your time with someone you love.
If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days..
But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family. -
What happen to the WINTER TIME?
"This Winter seems came late again,
It hasn't even come,
The warmth still remains,
From late Autumn,
At thirteen it stays,
No frost, wind or coldness,
No shrill in the voices of men,
As they stare into the oncoming snow,
The breeze and quality ice,
Nothing... nothing at all...
It doesn't feel like Winter,
It feels like Late Winter,
That the control panel,
For Winter has been overridden,
Taken over, not knowing when,
How, or even why to start,
Journal burnt in Autumn,
Crisp, warm weather,
Nothing remains,
No snow walks, evenings by the fire,
Staying away from the cold,
So warm...
Please, Late Winter,
Arrive, we're waiting,
So real Winter can begin,
At full speed, steaming ahead,
Faster than the world can take it,
Late Winter... arrive... " -
Dating Philly Guys?
A lady friend who is base in Australia asked for help, as she grew up in the land downunder!
So, sige, give advice, pls? Kyong mga lads dito...
Here's here letter to me!
***********************************
Dating Filipino man, who is in his 40, he have never been married before.
He is never open to me about his feelings or emotions. I don't know much about Filipino culture or traditions; we meet here in Australia.
What is traditional Filipino man? What their expectations are? Is it any girls around who is married or committed to Filipino man? There are a lot of postings about Filipino woman, but nothing about man? Please help!
***********************************
OO nga ano? Pinays are more scripted nga? Y kaya? & more exploited than any other asian countries...
************************************
- a letter from one of our friend who gave her comment, goes like this...(pakatok pod)
** filipino men? I'll sum it up in short words. A traditional man is generally a sweet lover.
*** he is, but what about other part of the life? any ideas?
I FOUND THIS COMMENTS AREN'T ENCHANTING EH?
*** 'm not a Filipino man - I'm a Filipino stud ! Filipinos in general have a Western mentality. We don't really identify with other Asian cultures as we still have the American colonial mentality. Actually there's lots of Americans where I work right now. I always had difficulty humoring Aussies, and laughing at their own jokes. But Americans and I seem to mutually appreicate each other's humor. Not to mention that my best friend is American. In short - Filipino mentality is about 90% + similar to Americans. Full Stop.
I GUESS I MORE AGREE W/ MY STUD FWEEN!
OH! there? start na! -
the qualities of a good leader, and character counts
Most people have heard the phrase, "character is what you are when no one is looking." It is that set of qualities and traits, based on morals and ethics, that guides our actions and distinguishes us from one another. We typically make assessments of others based on their words and actions - this is how reputations are built. In general, character, whether good or bad, is what we observe in others' conduct - it puts our morals and values into action.
If you believe the most important investment we can make for our future is developing and nurturing our next "greatest generation" of leaders, it's useful to define the most important aspects of leadership.
MOST IMPORTANT IS PRIDE: & 2 other formulas
- Preparation
- Respect
- Integrity
- Discipline
- Enthusiasm
* Moral
* Courage -
Live w/ me
Is anybody satisfied with who they really are?
You could be the moon
And still be jealous of the stars
You gotta' learn to swim
If you can't walk upon the sea
So I'm learning to live
And learning to forgive -

PASSION, COMPASSION
PLS. GIVE SOMETIMES A CHANCE TO READ BELOW::::
TO ALL PEOPLE WHO'S INVOLVE TO A PROHIBITED LOVE, A FORBIDDEN GAME!
EVERYBODY'S INVOLVE IN THIS LETTER OR AN ESSAY???
HOPE IT BROADEN YOUR MIND, AT LEAST!
--------------------------------------------
The outburst of emotions was like lightning and thunder that even a small child could understand, so intense and fierce that assertions, hasty it may seem, were readied. There's so many changes in our lives could never be understood for so short a time. It's beyond compression, kind of like putting a square peg into a round hole. Passions run deep and high, like wildfire burning everything along its path, it must not fail to consider the changes within each of us whether such changes could sustain its vigor and excitement.
I read all messages over and over again trying to come to terms with what you are today. The amorous disasters and the escape from scarcity are what I believe your motivations. It made you the strong but lonely person you are now maybe because you failed to appreciate all of its aspects, seeing only the side which best fit yourself. Never been in love?... you had been in love but you'd rather not call it love because the experience made you cry. To hate those men/women who in one way or another made you smile is like hating yourself, as they will always be a part of you no matter how you try to delete them from memory. If we could only format and re-format ourselves like computers! to fit other operating systems! Love is what made us, will save us and will keep us strong as we travel this space we call life. Marrying for pecuniary material reasons?
Have you see you in such a distracted situation? If I were in his/her shoes I'd do the same. It is his/her GOD given right to protect you and all those precious to him/her. He/she loves you very much and I can feel it! I could not blame him/her if he/she has entertained the idea that I am dipping my hands into his/her cookie jar. Have you ever considered the years you have been together and suddenly you act so weird and so strange? He/she doesn't deserve this. He/she needs your love. He/she needs your compassion.
All the time I wanted to see my beautiful butterfly/caterpillar in gracious flight. I don' want to lose sight of his/her as it has been for thirty years. I love my butterfly/caterpillar so much that I want to see him/her happy wherever he/she maybe. I have taken that love into another level of existence beyond the indulgence of most people. Maybe we could not grow old together in these compelling circumstances, perhaps in another lifetime... -
