Dad How Much Is Your Time?

Dad How Much Is Your Time?
Author: Unknown

This is very inspiring story of a father and son.


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 behavior.'

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.

Kulungan na Walang Rehas Sa Gitnang Silangan


Kulungan na Walang Rehas Sa Gitnang Silangan
Life Story: By Bobot P. Erpelo – Jan 6, 2010 – SA)

Nitong Abril 2009 ay dinayo ko ang (SA) dito sa Gitnang Silangan. Dito nadestino ang aking asawa matapos ang ilang taon na pagtatrabaho sa Bahrain. Kasama ko ang aking bunsong anak na si EJ noong mga panahong iyon. Inabot din kami ng isang buwang bakasyon para samahan ang aking asawa.

Habang naririto ako, unti-unti kong naramdaman ang buhay na masasabi kong ‘mahirap.’

Taong 1991, dinala kami ng aking asawa sa Bahrain kasama ang aming tatlong anak. Anim na taong gulang palang ang aming panganay, apat na taon ang pangalawa, at isang-taong gulang ang pangatlo. Doon na sila nag-aral mula ‘grade school’ hanggang hayskul. Doon ko na rin isinilang ang aming pang-apat na anak na si EJ.

Masasabi ko na ang buhay sa Bahrain ay napakagaan. Masaya lalo na kapag kasama mo ang pamilya at mga kapatiran. Sampung taon din kaming namalagi doon. Nang mag-kolehiyo na ang aming panganay at pangalawa ay napagdesisyunan naming mag-iina na sa Pilipinas nalang mamalagi. Noong mga panahong iyon ay nailipat ang aking asawa mula Bahrain patungong SA.

Naikumpara ko ang buhay sa Bahrain at estilo ng pamumuhay sa SA.

Sa Bahrain, ano mang oras ay pwede akong lumabas o mamasyal kasama ang aking mga anak. Dito sa SA ay hindi basta-basta pwedeng lumabas lalo na kung nag-iisa ka lang. Kailangan na palagi mong kasama ang iyong asawa at laging bitbit ang mga papeles bilang katibayan na ‘legal’ ang pag-aasawa niyo para sa ano mang biglaang pag-iinspeksyon.

Sa Bahrain ay pwede kang magsuot ng kahit anong ‘casual’ na damit. Dito sa SA ay kailangang naka- abaya ang mga babae tuwing lalabas.

Kung ikaw ay isang ‘dependent’, buong araw kang nasa loob lang ng bahay. Makakalabas ka lang kung dumating na ang iyong asawa. Minsan ay ‘di ka pa rin makalabas dahil mula sa trabaho ay pagod na rin ang iyong asawa kaya mas nanaisin pa niyang magpahinga.

Sa pangalawang pagbabalik ko sa SA nitong October 8, 2009 ay mag-isa nalang akong naglakbay at naiwan na ang aming bunso sa Pilipinas. Naramdaman ko ang kalungkutan na kailanma’y hindi ko pa nararamdaman sa buong buhay ko… sa Bahrain man o maging sa Pilipinas.

May mga oras na sa aking pag-iisa (habang ako ay kumakain) ay bigla nalang akong napapaluha. Naaalala ko ang aking mga anak na naiwan ko sa Pilipinas. Sabi ko sa sarili ko, “Bakit ka umiiyak? ‘Di ba gusto mong samahan ang iyong asawa?”

Dito ko biglang naisip, “Paano pa kaya ang aking asawa noong mga panahong siya lang ang naririto sa SA… at nag-iisa?

Ipinadama sa akin ng Panginoon kung ano ang nararamdaman ng mga taong nakatira sa lugar na ito.
Nasabi ko tuloy sa sarili ko na kung ako nga na may Panginoon na tinatawag ay nakakaranas pa rin ng ganitong lungkot… paano pa kaya ang ating mga kababayang wala pang relasyon sa ating Panginoon?

Dito ko na naisip na mas mahirap ang kanilang kalagayan dahil marami sa kanila ang talagang hindi makalabas ng bahay… lalo na ang mga domestic helper. Kapag nakikita ko sila sa mall kasama ang kanilang mga amo, bakas sa kanilang mukha ang matinding pananabik tuwing nakakakita sila ng kababayan!

Lalong nagsikip ang dibdib ko nang makita ko sila… at sinabi ko sa aking sarili na mas mapalad pa rin ako dahil kasama ko ang asawa ko…

Kung gaano ako nalulungkot ay mas doble pa ang kanilang nararamdaman dahil ‘total strangers’ ang kanilang mga kasama sa bahay (mga locals dito sa lugar na ito). Masuwerte kung sila ay nakahanap ng mabait at maunawain na amo… pero paano nalang kung ang amo nila ay tulad ng mga sinasabi ng iba na malulupit at mapang-abuso? Naisip ko na ito na rin siguro ang dahilan kung bakit nawawala na sa sarili ang ilan… sanhi ng lungkot na hindi nila makayanan. (‘Wag naman pong mangyari ito sa akin… sa grasya ng Panginoon.)

Tanong ko… sa isip ko… “Paano na pala sila? Ano na kaya ang nangyayari sa kanila? Kumakain kaya sila ng tatlong beses sa isang araw?” Maraming bagay ang naglalaro sa aking isipan. Paano ko sila maaabot o matutulungan? Biglang ipinaisip lang ng Panginoon sa akin ang manalangin at isama sila sa bawat panalangin ko habang ako’y naririto sa lupain ng mga taga-SA.

Sa araw-araw na lumipas ay unti-unting napapawi ang aking kalungkutan dahil sa dami ng aking dapat ipanalangin. Halos buong oras ko ay nabubuhos sa panalangin. Matapos nito ay magbubukas ako ng computer para mag-surf sa internet at bisitahin ang aking mga kaibigan sa facebook. Napakapalad ko pa rin talaga dahil kahit maghapon akong nakakulong sa bahay ay may ‘access’ pa rin ako sa mga mahal ko sa buhay, mga kapatiran, at mga kaibigang nasa iba’t-ibang sulok ng mundo. Sa pamamagitan ng pakikipag-ugnayan sa kanila, nae-express ko ang aking sarili.

Napakaimportante ang ‘constant communication’ dahil ito lang ang pwedeng gawin habang naririto ka sa ganitong lugar. Marami siguro sa atin ang may mga pamilya at kapatid sa Gitnang Silangan o kung saan mang panig ng mundo. Ito’y isang panawagan… na kung maari lamang ay gawin ninyong ‘regular’ ang pakikipag-usap o ugnayan sa kanila. Iba po talaga ang nararanasan kapag malayo sa pamilya.

Sa sobrang lungkot ko po dito ay nakagawa ako ng isang tula… na ibabahagi ko sa inyo. Ang pamagat ay, “Si Juan… ang Pinoy.”

Nawa po any maging halimbawa ang aking karanasan sa bawat isa sa inyo. Nakita ko po rito… na kung wala sa ating puso ang ating Panginoon… maaaring hindi ko ito makakayanan nang ako lang. Sa araw -araw ay Siya lang talaga ang aking kalakasan. Sa Kanya ako kumukuha ng karunungan upang gawin ang mga bagay na dapat kong gawin sa araw-araw. Purihin ang Panginoon dahil dito ko rin nailabas ang mga ibinigay Niyang talento sa akin.

Sa pamamagitan ng aking pagsusulat… ito’y nagsilbing paraan para makapag-encourage pa rin ako ng ibang tao… kahit na minsan ay ako mismo ang nangangailangan nito.

Dito ko rin naranasan ang maghintay… na ma-exercise ko ang paghihintay… tulad ng paghihintay natin sa pagdating ng ating Panginoon…

Wala tayong pwedeng sabihin na dahilan kung bakit ‘di natin nararanasan ang Kanyang kabutihan. Sa mga pagsubok… lahat ay ating makakayanan kung tayo ay magtitiwala lamang sa Kanya. Matuto tayong makinig at gawin ang mga ipinag-uutos Niya.

Masasabi kong nanaisin ko pa ring bumalik sa lugar na tulad nito kung ang kapalit naman ay walang hanggang pakikipag-ugnayan sa aking Diyos na Siyang nagbibigay ng lakas, aral, at kulay sa aking buhay.

Gusto ko lang ibahagi sa inyo ang kabutihan ng ating Panginoon.

Sa mga taong may mga kamag-anak, asawa, o kaibigan na malayo sa inyo… hayaan ninyong maging pagpapala kayo sa kanila. Bigyan ninyo ng oras at panahon ang pakikipag-ugnayan sa kanila.
Isang sakripisyo na sa inyo ay inalay…

Nawa ay kapulutan n’yo ng aral ang aking mga naging karanasan habang ako’y naririto sa Gitnang Silangan sa SA.
.
Maraming salamat po sa inyong oras at panahon para sa pagbabasa’t pakikinig.




Long Distance Relationship

“ Long Distance Relationship ”


Long distance relationship (LDR) is an intimate affair of two couples that is geographically separated. Is Long Distance Relationship really work in this modern time? Many couples end up separation. There is small percentage of success cases. And if it does it will be stronger than ever.


There are many challenges in a Long Distance Relationship


* Time difference or time zone, where as there is difficulties in your schedule.
* You can’t monitor each other, trust is required.
* Physical contact is long awaited.
* Loneliness and bored in your feelings.

Here are some tips to keep your love intact

Communication- There should be a constant and two way communications. Before Long distance relationship is not popular due to the form of communication. Lovers communicate through telephone or postal mail. Unlike today Long Distance Relationship is explode because of the advent of the modern technology. Distance and time is no longer a problem. You can receive and send text messages in seconds. You can talk with your love from a cheap mobile phone. Even more exciting, you can make a live video call with your 3G mobile phone. The best part is you can be reached anytime and anywhere. Unless your mobile phone is out of coverage or it is out of service. Internet is also available for cheaper and longer communication. For more convenient you can subscribe for an internet connection in your home. You must have first a laptop or a computer. If this gadget is unavailable, just resort to the traditional medium, telephone cabin or via air mail.

Patience – Couples are separated not by will but rather by choice. For example: you have been assigned by your boss to a new city or country, the worst scenario is that you have been terminated by your company. And your only option is to work abroad in order to cope up with your family needs. Like what happened to most of the Overseas Foreign Worker and Expatriates. It will take a years or more before you will reunite with your partner. Therefore you have to be patience and overcome the test of time.

Trust – There should be transparency in a relationship in order to gain the trust. In a long distance relationship you can’t monitor your partner. You mind have been clouded with bunch of speculations resulting to an argument. Therefore you have to be opened to each other. Tell story about your daily activities, the people you mingle with, the food you eat and the dress you ware. Impart your loneliness and happiness. Inform of your like and dislike. Share your problems. And never keep any secret that will ruin your relationship.

Self Control – is to discipline your emotion and desires to any form of attractions. Temptation is just around the corner. It is like a silent lion that will devour you if you allow. While others grasp it just to satisfy their curiosity and urge. Opposite sex attraction is a common temptation that soured a long distance relationship. You have to draw a line with your peer.

Humility – Relationship often brake up because of pride. It also often leads to selfishness when one person feels superior to another. Apologize for your mistakes. Learn to forgive your lover. And swallow your pride

Faith – is the divine intervention in a long distance relationship. Pray to Lord to give you strength to overcome the call of temptation; give you will power to be patience in any circumstances; avoid idling in your communication and learn trusting one another. Be content and thank the Lord for giving you a partner in life. Pray for each other. A couple that prays together, stays for-ever.

***************************************************************************************
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen" (Ephesians 4:29 NIV).

Strengthening Your Marriage and Living Happily Ever After

Strengthening Your Marriage and Living Happily Ever After

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Domingo_Reyes]Domingo Reyes

Marriage is a give-and-take relationship, as the cliché goes and it is as a matter of fact true. It may sound as simple as these three words for singles out there who are on the way down the isle but they actually mean big responsibilities. In fact, good communications, better relationship, especially financial are the major recipes for a happy marriage.

Moments are expensive. It is not enough that you and your better half share time together. Sometimes, it is not worth it at all if you are physically present but your mind and emotions are somewhere. Turning each minute of togetherness into expensive, unforgettable moments is another thing that definitely works to the maximum.

Be Open To Each Other Good communications and openness is the key to a happy marriage. This is where trust and loyalty starts. When a husband and wife let each other know about how they feel at the moment - jealousy, anger, irritation, sadness - each is allowed to learn about their differences and similarities and make adjustments.

Being open to each other does not mean though that they must know every bit of information about each other. The element of mystery still works effectively to keep each other from being bored. Openness involves transparency of emotions so that they can settle whatever misunderstanding they have, they can share happy moments together and learn how to make each party happy. This strengthens the relationship.
Anything can be settled with a quality heart-to-heart talk. It is not advisable for a married couple to sleep on their misunderstandings. Some believe that letting thing cool down is much better than pushing things. This is actually not effective for the most part. Oftentimes, letting things cool down is actually letting the holes grow bigger, while talking things over before the day ends is like patching up the crack. One of them surely will not be able to sleep better and wake up better when they have a hanging discussion to finish. A couple can better understand each other and can pinpoint the problem immediately if they are able to talk about it at once, thus resolving it and having a good night's sleep.

Strong Financial Bond One of the most common issues a married couple often has to discuss over is finances. It is not that easy to put all the financial responsibilities in perfect place. Often, it becomes the root of all disputes. It happens especially if a couple can no longer cope up with money matters, when one has become unable, or when they have too many expenses to settle yet have too little to draw.

This is actually the first thing that a couple needs to organize since they have a family and a household to run. They should both be willing to make an effort to keep their financial relationship intact.
A couple may open a joint bank account or debit card (online and offline) aside from a separate bank account to keep track of how much they make as a pair and individually. This is to allow financial dependence and independence at the same. Both should have room for financial growth without competing with each other.
What if there was a legal, moral, ethical way you could pay off your 15 to 30 year mortgage in 5 year or less without using your own money to accelerate the loan payoff?
