…NeVeR GiVe Up!!!

Were you stuck in a place where all people have a strong belief in their own capabilities? Have you bumped somebody with an unparalleled ideals in life? Did you have a chance of debating someone of eminent regard of themselves? Have you adjoined a self-centered person? If so, what did you do?

An experience like this is one of a kind. You don’t even know where to place yourself. It’s hard to convey your own notions because somewhat you are not given a chance to speak them out. They just want to express themselves and make you believe that they are right, their side is the best, what they conceive is enormously the ones acceptable and lastly, they want to win you over. It’s really an arduous time meeting this kind of people. But they do exist. They are in our society and in one way or another, there’s a big tendency to meet them. Are you prepared enough for this? Do you have a bewildering reasons to defend your side? Are you courageous enough to meet them? Or are you a kind of person who just keep still and never argue even if you absolutely don’t gree with them? You just keep silent inorder not to make an argument because you don’t want to be in trouble.

Well, with my senior high class, we came to talk about realities in life, that life is full of mysteries and they were so eager to convey their own thoughts. We perfectly had a great discussion. We all enjoyed and everyone channelled their own opinions. There came an instant that someone mentioned about adversities that we normally come across with as we journey in this passing life. They had different views on how they look at them. Some attend to these as just trials that all people have and noone is excused, and it depends on how we are going to face them – an optimistic approach. They strongly said they can handle them bravely. On the other hand, there were also some who cited that these are just products of our carelessness. If we don’t do our best, we would surely meet them. Noone is going to have such a problem if he cares and knows how to handle his life. So everything depends on how he lived his life. For them, these were just the consequences of what we did with our lives. Do you think so? Do you agree with them? Which side would you back up with?

Well, friends, we should always bear in mind that in life, everything happens for a reason. Thanks and have a good time. More powers to all of us.

...a time to REMEMBER...

After a coup d’oeil of my schedule yesterday, I found out that I would have a schedule at night, a dinner with my newly found friends here in my place. With no hesitations, I did all my stuff at work to finish earlier that I could prepare for it, ‘cause being with friends is one of my best moments in life, for I do value friendship a lot.


While in the mid of doing my job, my phone beeped, a message from one that goes, Don’t forget our dinner tonight. I’ll pick you up at 5:30 at your gate. See you later!” t'was from Jim. I was reminded again. I smiled while reading it and thought, they really are good friends. I was excited for my first dinner with these people I met a week ago, in the English Corner, established by the foreign teachers in my place. Then, I continued my work.

5:30 came and I was picked up from my workplace by one with car, I thought, but he didn't drive I guess that time. Actually, he again texted me that he was at the gate, 5:20. I hastened down ‘cause I don’t want him to wait for a long time.

We made a great chat for we were early in coming to the restaurant. He asked me about my life and I did the same way. A little later, he showed me to his workplace just directly on the 5Th floor of the building, a law firm with 21 lawyers including himself. I was shocked as I entered his big office. He toured me around the firm and went down a short while after. In few minutes afterwards, the others came, Steven, a Canadian guy, Wendy, a lady who just returned from her trip to the US and Canada, a business trip and two more lovely ladies, Linda, a foreign expert bureau officer and Sarah, a law firm secretary.

I was a little hungry that time. With no further falterings, we ordered our dinner. I amazingly appreciated the beauty of the dishes served to us. Magnificent decors around them highlighted the grandeur of the mouth-watering food. It made me feel hungry the more. Then, we savored the food until we were stuffed. We were delighted with the dinner we had. Red wine also cheered our momentous night. We ended up 9:20 and parted ways. I absolutely had a great time with my new friends. It was really a time to be remembered...

I wish you all do too. Thanks for your time
Everything happens for a reason…

...surPRIZEd!!!...

A couple of weeks ago, I was just amazed with what I received from a distant friend, an e-mail. I could hardly imagine if it would really work. But with the responses I received from people I forwarded the message with, I can somehow say that it really works.

Well, to make it known to you too, I just wanna share this with you that hopefully it may lighten your burdens if you encounter such a dilemma in your life. This was the message...



NEW USE OF VICKS VAPORUB...

WOW! I was raised, and raised my kids with Vicks. How come I never knew this? I can't wait for my next cough.Amazing! READ IT ALL. It works 100 percent of the time,although the scientists at the Canada Research Council(who discovered it) aren't sure why.To stop night-time coughing in a child (or an adult, as wefound out personally), put Vicks Vaporub generously on thebottom of the feet at bedtime and then cover with socks.

Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about fiveminutes, and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. Thisworks 100 percent of the time and is more effective in childrenthan even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition,it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly.I heard the head of The Canada Research Council describe thesefindings by their scientists when they were investigatingthe effectiveness and usage of prescription cough medicines inchildren as compared to alternative therapies like acupressure.I just happened to tune in to a.m. Radio and picked up this guytalking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harmthan good due to the chemical make-up of these strong drugs,so I listened. It was found to be more effective than prescribedmedicines for children at bedtime and in addition to have asoothing and calming effect on sick children who then went onto sleep soundly.

My wife tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant andpersistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100 percent! She saidit felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her. The coughing stoppedin a few minutes, and believe me, this was a deep (incrediblyannoying - every few seconds!), uncontrollable cough, and she sleptcough-free for hours every night she used it.If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be absolutely amazedat the effect.

-Bong Suarez

Pass this on - especially to those with children or grandchildren.


Wish you would also experience what they have experienced about this magic. I just hope you would try if you have such a problem. Share it to your friends, too and see the amazing result.
