One of the “dreams” of new college graduates would be to work in the corporate world.
Hobnobbing with executives, being surrounded by steel buildings, wearing business suits and being tech-savvy are some factors that makes the corporate world a tempting place to be involved in.
But the reality of being a corporate slave is at times daunting.
Traffic. Stress. Expenses on things that will complete the “corporate look” does not come cheap,unless of course these people are willing to brave sale events for some discount on clothes and shoes. Competition at work.
Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against corporate work. I know the financial rewards are high and the accomplishments are great.
In fact, I know I would choose this field too have I not chosen to do arts and crafts and story-telling sessions with children 🙂

Tuyo, dry.
Ang summer o tag-araw ay panahon ng tagtuyo. Ang tagtuyo ay ramdam hindi lamang sa pagkawala o kakulangan ng tubig sa ating mga tahanan.
Ito ay nakikita sa tuyong kabukiran na dapat sana ay pangunahing pinagkukunan ng pagkain. Dahil sa pagkatuyot, karamihan ng mga bukirin ay tila ba mga walang silbing nakatiwangwang na lupain animo inabuso at inubusan ng lakas.
Hindi lang ang ating mga bukirin ang dumaranas ng tagtuyo. Lalo na ang ating mga kabundukan, tila ba ang mga ito ay dumaan sa napakaraming abuso at wala ng buhay at luntiang kulay na maibigay.
Ang pondong para sana sa irigasyon o patubig ay hindi umaabot para sa mga dapat makinabang nito.
Dumaan ang napakaraming bagyong nagdulot ng pagbaba at pagguho ng lupa na ikinasawi ng libo-libo nating mga kababayan.
Sayang na buhay, sila ay walang kalaban-laban sa hagupit at lupit ng kalamidad na dapat sana ay naiwasan kung hindi sa kasakiman ng ilang mga indibidwal.
Ang bundok ay kalbo, ang maitim na bahagi ay hindi mga puno kundi anino ng ulap sa nasa langit. Ang bukirin ay walang tanim dahil walang senyales na meron patubig dito.

I have often wondered how people without social security disability benefits survive when they are retired and not working and earning anymore.
I am thinking about this because of several complaints about our own government’s social security service agency.
A bank I go to have senior citizens, retirees from government offices as their customers. I often hear complaints about how inept the services of the social security that they are clients of.
Oh dear.
These people deserve better, having invested their money to these government corporations. But with corruption as a serious malady, I don’t think these services will improve in this lifetime.

Isa sa mga nakasanayang puntahan nating mga Pilipino para sa kasiyahan ay ang Pansol, lugar ng mainit na bukal pinainit na tubig.
Masarap lumangoy sa mainit na tubig, kakaibang pagre-relaks. Hindi lang ang paglangoy ang nagdudulot ng kasiyahan kungdi ang masayang pagsasama-sama ng mga kapamilya, kaibigan at mga taong espesyal sa ating buhay.
Narito sa larawan ang aking unico hijo, masayang nakalubog sa mainit na tubig sa Pansol:
Saya ano? Kayo, I am sure meron kayong masayang alaala sa Pansol. Kung hindi pa, aba, eh punta na at nang maranasan ang “yakap” ng mainit na tubig 🙂
