                            People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered...

                       Love them anyway

                       If you are kind, people may accuse you of having selfish , 

                             ulterior motives

                       Be kind anyway

                       If you are honest and frank

                       People may cheat you

                       Be honest anyway

                       What you spend years building

                       Someone could destroy overnight

                       Build anyway

                       If you find serenity and happiness

                       Someone may be jealous

                       Be happy anyway

                       The good you do today

                       People will often forget tomorrow

                       Do good anyway

                       Give the world the best you've got anyway

                       You see in final analysis It's between YOU and GOD

                        It was never between you and them anyway

My Covid19 Journey

 I never thought that an ordinary sore throat would be the start of a new kind of adventure in my Iife.  in my 60 years of existence this is the first time.  I was focusing in getting well taking all the medications needed from over the counter drug to natural medicine.  After three days of staying home and out of the office, prepare myself to be back at the office on the fourth day of the week but before anything else I had a quick swab test, confident that I am negative.  Unfortunately it wasn't my lucky day, the result was I'm Covid positive.  The result put down my spirit how I wish it was just a prank but i have to accept it.  Before I tested myself I practice my morning greetings as i enter the gate of the school.  I want to have a happy and healthy voice but still my voice doesn't sound healthy but weak.  I try to find comfort by talking to  family and friends and the assurance that I will be okay.  Actually I tried to have a brave front but in reality I'm scared.  I wasn't able to sleep and try to disturb the souls of my dearly departed asking for prayers and storming heavens to pray for  my healing  and Jodi's family.  Although I felt calm and hope as I trust  everything in the Almighty Lord.   This is my Day 3 of being sick and I feel that my health condition is improving  and into my recovery. Lesson learned always be safe and stay healthy.

Aspire to Write

My first writing exercise which i have been postponing.  I have been planning to enroll in a creative writing class but can't find time to do it or don't have the motivation to do it.  Out of boredom because of my long vacation i take off with my first writing journey today in this time of Corona Virus crisis.  oh what a great motivation Covid 19 is.  While waiting for the TV show that I am about to . watch, I accidentally  came across from my book collection a book on creative writing.  I  bought this books a long time ago and almost forgotten about it.  I really love  write my thoughts in my journal.  I write about my accomplishments of the day, happiness and heartaches and frustrations and reflections and realizations.  sometimes i am lazy to do it and the thoughts slip out of my mind as the day passed.  I would think that do I need an inspiration to be able to do it?  What kind of pushing do I need to be able to do it? Writing for me need not to be structured but spontaneous what comes to your mind, and the pen will do it all.  Gone are the days when letter writing still consider as a means of communication.  the art has vanished because of the technology, the email has replaced it.  I can still recall when we used to receive letters from our mother who is in the city, while we are seas away from her.  Even if the mail arrives a week later we patiently wait for it.  My grandfather who is an eloquent writer and speaker is my idol in writing.  He has a regular contributor of a weekly magazine The Free Press.  He also writes poems.  I have also read his love letters to my grandma, how powerful and expressive of his feelings for her.  Writing is an expression of oneself, an expression of our thoughts and ideas, feelings and emotion.  It is also a gift for not all can write well.   i have this passion to write because i want to inspire others and share the knowledge that i have.
