I just want to post this heart warming story from which made me realize a lot of things and inspired me, value the people we tend to forget and neglect coz of the things we always wanted. Napaiyak ako ng simpleng story na to, tagos sa puso ko.
**********
While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked up stone and scratched lines on the side of the car.
In anger, the man took the child’s hand and hit it many times not realizing he was using a wrench.
At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures.
When the child saw his father….. with painful eyes he asked, ‘Dad when will my fingers grow back?’ The man was so hurt and speechless; he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times.
Devastated by his own actions…… sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches; the child had written ‘LOVE YOU DAD’.
The next day that man committed suicide. . .
Anger and Love have no limits; choose the latter to have a beautiful, lovely
life & remember this:
Things are to be used and people are to be loved.
The problem in today’s world is
that people are used while things are loved.
Let’s try always to keep this thought in mind:
“Things are to be used,
People are to be loved.”
Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character;
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.*******

dapat pong alamin kung ano ang mga importanteng bagay na kailangan natin at hindi ang kung ano ang mga gusto natin.
karamihan sa gusto natin ay mga luho na nagdudulot ng komplikasyon sa dapat sana’y simple, maayos at panatag na buhay.

paglabas ng daddy sa gate, nakita niya na may sinusulat ang kanyang anak sa kanyang kotse…

iyak ang bata at tumakbo pasok sa bahay…
pagtingin ng daddy sa kanyang sasakyan, ang nakalagay: “happy birthday dad…”

magagalit sana siya pero ito ang nakita niya na sinulat ng bata…
2 + 2 = 4
sobrang natuwa sa ginawa ng bata, kaya ang ginawa ni fr. leo ay kumuha ng chalk at nilagyan ng check (tama!) ang sinulat ng bata.

You’re right. This is a tear-jerker!
Kailangan talaga nating alamin ang ating priorities sa buhay: bagay ba o tao?

Pero siempre, we should all do what is right.

kids are always thoughtful but they still do not know how to show it in the most mature way like adults do but we should admire it as it is very innocent and loving. they really mean what they said when they say it and we must value it and etch it in our hearts.

Nakakaantig talaga ang kuwento. Maski na rin madaming versions ang narinig/nabasa ko. Kaya. dapat huwag padalos-dalos. Lalo na sa mga panahong nag-uumapaw ang damdamin (hal. labis na saya, sobrang galit atbp.)
> gagaya lang ako sa kuwentuhan sa taas hehehe:
Si JP ay nasa Grade I at naturuang magbasa at magsulat. Kaya ang ginagawa niya ay magsulat ng kanyang pangalan sa mga sasakyang maalikabok. Minsan tinutukso rin siya ng “JP LOVES Karen”, at pag nakita niya ito, agad niyang binubura gamit ang palad o kamay.
Noong napadaan siya sa kotse ni Tata Ikoy, sinulat niya ang buo niyang pangalan sa windshield ng kotse. Kumaripas siya ng takbo noong makita niya ang may-ari. Akala niya, pagagalitan siya nito. Ngunit hindi, lumapit lang ang matanda sa kotse at sumulat din doon sa windshield.
Nang makaalis ang matanda, bumalik si JP sa kotse at nang mabasa niya ang nakasulat sa ilalim ng JOHN PAUL D. PATULI, agad niyang binura ang lahat ng nakasulat doon sa windshield.
Ang sinulat ni Tata Ikoy: MANNAKI.
(pa-translate na lang po sa kakilalang Ilokano hehehe)
bonistation
Jan 26, 2010 @ 19:21:07
haha naaliw ako, pero curious sa MANNAKI. waaah can’t wait for any ilocano there, itranslate nyo naaaaa! ano ba ibig sabihin non!!

hmmmm… ano nga kaya ang MANNAKI? eh ni research ko ke pareng googs naguluhan ako! ahehehe
mtoni
Feb 04, 2010 @ 08:48:14
pagkakaalam ko ung salitang mannakki ibig sabihin ay paladumi(ginamit ko lang pinakamalinis na salita para di maduwal mga nakain na nagbabasa).
minsan sinasabi ‘sira ang tiyan’ at un po ang resulta non.
di ko lang tiyak kung me iba pang kahulugan kasi mababaw lang mga salitang ilokano naiintindihan ko.
