A great story on How to change Bad To Good

This is story I read while browsing the forums of KerygmaFamily.com: It's creative and new and has a lot of impact.   A yaya (nursemaid) and her ward (a little boy) walk towards an ice cream stall (the street-towed type).  The yaya bought two for both of them.  The child was so excited that, when he licked on the ice cream, the cold stuff fell to the ground.  The child was about to cry for the lost when the quick-thinking, quick-responding yaya came to the rescue.  She removed one slipper off her foot and gingerly dipped one toe to the fallen cold item. 'Ngeeeh! Ang lamig!' (That's COOOLD!) exclaimed the yaya.  She repeated this several times while making funny 'dances'.  The child never got on with the crying as he was 'mesmerized' with what the yaya is...

Existential, meaning: you, on a bus to from Manila to Laoag City (that's a 7 hour trip, right?), looking at rows of houses, rice fields, Meralco electric posts, people on the roadside and more of the same for while thinking exactly this:Rows of HousesGreen Rice FieldsPost, Post, PostPeople, People.

How To Fulfill Your Dreams by Jomar HilarioPinoys deserve more, but why are we settling for this?Chapter 2: How a prostitute feels like.In the 2005 US TV Comedy "How I Met Your Mother", Barney (old TV's Doogie Howser, also controversially known as TV's first "blogger") sets up a date between the lead star Ted and a hooker named Mary. It was a group date anyway-- so they were talking about why one of the guys (Marshall) took a corporate law job when instead he should be using law to protect whales from being harpooned off Japan (or something like that).Marshall defends himself saying : "I need the money for my wedding so I'm trapped because the money is good -- though I really want to help the whales. ""C'mon guys, can't you relate how it feels like?" He asks the group."It feels like a prostitute!"...

How To Fulfill Your Dreams Chapter 1

How To FulFill Your DreamsYou deserve better, but why do you settle for THIS?Chapter One : Shorten the time between your idea and action. (paraphrase from Dr. Edward L Kramer).I got this quote from Dan Kennedy's time management book, "Guide to Time and Productivity and Sanity.

The Racket of Expensive Wedding (Gowns)

Why do some wedding gowns cost like:5 washing machines?2 160 gb ipod videos?1 macbook?2 big screen tvs?1.5 lazy boy easy chairs2 high-end couches1 hi-end refrigerator3 cooking ranges2 large beds5 closets1/2 of a massage chairIt's because of the hype - of looking beautiful for just one day. Ipropose that it's the focus that's misguided. The bride is only focusedon that day-to look beautiful or presentable. I propose that this focusis incorrect. There are many days after the wedding and the bride candesign her clothes anytime, can throw a fancy costume party anytime --they can even get married AGAIN (renewal of vows)! Why the willingnessto THROW AWAY MONEY on pretentious clumps of silks that will most likelyNEVER see the light of day after the wedding?I propose that this is not a good focus...
