The President and Vice-President

Today is the inauguration day of our newly elected President and Vice-President of the Republic of the Philippines, President Benigno S. Aquino III and Vice- President Jejomar Binay. On the President's short and simple promises during his rendered speech, Filipino listens with their whole heart and I think without a doubt, that the man in front of them is ever true to his word and he mean it, to fulfill every word he said. I look at him to be honest enough like his parents. I wish him good health and a sound mind to face all the problems he has to take over and continue to work out whatever he faces in the future. I know he can tackle it with his chosen cabinet members and also us, my fellow Filipinos.

Love Wood Furnitures?

Four months ago, I sold a sofa made of a floating log from Australia. My husband and I made the design. Before we got into making our own furniture, we use to buy furniture’s from a furniture shops nearby, but after years I found out that it’s not worth buying it of the price we paid for it. So when my husband were able to buy discarded woods from the factory his working, it came in to my mind to make simple designs to start a furniture of our own. We made two beds, two sofas, dining table chairs and a lot more. The sofa we had just sold was bigger than the one using in our receiving room today. I love furniture made of wood they’re cool and durable and I found it much to easier to maintain their looks. It’s nice to know we can make our own furniture, in our own simple way and taste, but how about if you don’t know how to make even one of it? Where do you think you can find one in the market that’s worth your money? I hope you can find it at log bunk bed. The furniture’s they made are of good quality and they got a lot of designs to choose with. So not to regret the price and the design of the furniture you wish to buy don’t forget to visit log bunk bed again and again.

Fathers day!

Today is Father's Day! How will you know, you have the best father in the world? Is he the one, who supports the family's needs in what ever means? Is he the one, who cares for the family in times of trouble? Is he the one, who asks for a family day during his salary? I can't really distinguish the best father in the world, but I am proud to say, I had a very good father indeed, when he was alive. I will not say it word for word, but I know that he was a very good father to me. “Tatay” as we cold him, wherever you are," happy father's day "!

SING TO SERVE THE LORD

My two daughters were both choir members of our parochial church. I have spent so much for them to have a singing career but I had proven it a few times and I don't need to force them since they are still of a young age. So when they were both called to be a choir member; no doubt, I don't need a second thought. Now they're more than a month singing to serve the Lord.

Depression

Two friends of mine are both under the state of depression. The younger one was swindled by her hard earned money that reaches almost 15 to 20 million pesos. I don't need to elaborate to really what happened because it is indeed a bad experience. I was with her when she first visited a psychiatrist. I thought she was joking at me when she asked me to accompany her to the doctor. But it wasn't a joke she paid the psychiatrist two thousand pesos for the consultation. She was given three kinds of medicine. The first one is for the mind's zero toning which I can't understand myself. The other one is something sounds like a relaxant and the last one is a sleeping pills that she needs only to take whenever she had a hard time to make a sleep. She’s beautiful inside and out as I look at her face from time to time while she was interviewed by the doctor. But she was strong enough to carry herself alone for two years and come up in the open to tell me everything and told me that nobody understands what she felt at that very moment. I understand the pain and the agony of her heart since I was also a mother. And the money was her saving for the education of her three children. But it was gone and all she needs now is to sue the swindler, until she was jailed. I told her to forget the bad experience and move on to her businesses and start saving again.
The next one is my best friend. She's 63 years old. She was strike of depression for almost two months, a week after her daughter left for Canada to work as a care giver.
And why can't you fell depressed, when you're one and only daughter that you care for almost 32 years and now will left you when you are almost at the peak of your age which supposedly you are tenderly cared by her. Her daughter graduated three courses here in the Philippines. So as she was blessed and given a chance, I told her why miss it when you can have a good chance to use what you have studied. She’s an Accountant under Board, a registered Nurse and a Management graduate. And where her daughters suppose to apply her degrees, if she will not go and try her luck abroad? I have seen the determination of my friend's daughter the day she left because I was with their family when she was sent to the airport. But the most affected was my best friend because in-spite of the fact that she's sickly, she had to attend to her grandson who is a special child. They belong to a middle class family here but the promise of tomorrow inspires her daughter so much that after two years she will be a Canadian immigrant. And that she could get her family to be with her the time; she become a Canadian citizen. But my big question is, I know that my friend's daughter can sacrifice the time to over come the homesick. Will for how long my best friend be ever stay, to over come her depression. I also accompanied her to the cardiologist for a consultation. Well that's life it's your choice how to handle your feelings. I've gone through a lot of depressions but here I am still standing alive and kicking. As I had experienced, a doctor, friends and relatives are a big help in times of depression but still it's up to you how to deal with it.
