Bukas Ba Ang Iyong Puso Ngayong Pasko?

Kahit saan ka tumingin sa panahong ito, puro ilaw ng Krismas tree, parol at mga makukulay na palamuti ang iyong makikita. Sa mga pamilihan, naglalakihang SALE! ang iyong nakikita. Hindi nga ba’t ang Pasko ay panahon ng kasaganaan para sa karamihan ng mga tao?

Malamig na din ang simoy ng hangin.

Bagama’t ma-trapik na, ramdam mo na ang mga tao ay naging mas masayahin.

Sige na nga, sasabihin ko na din, sa mga sumasakay ng taksi katulad ko, ramdam na din ang mga mapagsamantalang mga driver, hmph.

Christmas tree

Sa likod ng mga ngiti at halakhak, tunay man o may halong kaplastikan, sa bawat pagsubo ng masarap ng pagkaing inihanda para sa mga pagsasalo-salo, at sa bawat pagbukas ng pitaka upang mamili ng kung ano ang maiman na bilhin para sa sarili o sa iba, bukas ba ang ating mga puso sa mga taong salat sa tila ba karangyaan at sobra-sobrang “biyayang” hatid ng Pasko?

Sana nga, merong mga taong bukas ang kanilang puso (at pitaka) sa mga taong nangangailangan, lalo na yung mga nakatira sa kanayunan. Alam ko maraming magagalit sa akin sa sasabihin ko, sa aking palagay, oo nga’t mabuting binibigyan ng ligaya ang mga batang paslit na iniwan sa mga ampunan tuwing Pasko, pero sana naman, pagtuunan din ng pansin ang mga nandun sa liblib ng lugar.

Sila ay salat din sa mga biyaya ng Pasko mula sa mga taong may malinis at bukas na puso.

Rescue Plans

Debt crisis.

Just when we though countries are doing well, considering all economic breakdowns happening a few months back, including Greece‘s, Portugal and Ireland are now positioning themselves for rescue plans.

If individuals have this kind of thing because they spend more than what they have, then nations are vulnerable too, borrowing for their national programs. Mismanaged finances make the country has a deficit that grows exponentially big and at times, uncontrollable.

For me personally, I don’t spend more than I earn, Unless I win the PhP500 lottery, then my spending habits still stay the same 😀

Manny Pacquiao Wins versus Antonio Margarito

Manny Pacquiao did it again, winning his 8th title in six different weight divisions, as he won against Antonio Margarito in a unanimous decision after 12 rounds.

(sorry for blurred photo, I just did print-screen from the videos I took)

He is indeed the pound for pound boxing champ and he makes the nation proud to be not just as a sports celebrity but a good person as well.

Manny said in his interview that “Boxing is not for killing each other you know“.
