A Friend 🧡

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. 

The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.

Love Watching You 💝

Who can resist a sleeping baby? As our children get older, and we get older the joy we get from watching them sleep is something that doesn’t change.

Who are the real Robbers? 🍂

This is called the "Mind Changing Concept." Changing the conventional way of thinking.

The older robber rebutted and said: "You are very stupid. There is so much money it will take a long time to count. Tonight, the TV news will tell us how much we robbed from the bank." This is called "Experience.” Nowadays, the experience is more important than paper qualifications! After the robbers had left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly. But the supervisor said to him: "Wait! Let us take out $10 million from the bank for ourselves a...

MY FATHER IS A POLICEMAN

Mga salitang huling ibinigkas Salitang pinanghugutan ng lakas Ang gatilyo na walang alinlangang inilabas At sa apat na putok, may dalawang buhay ang biglaang nagwakas. Hustisya ang sigaw ng lahat  Panghabang buhay na pagkakakulong ay tila hindi sapat  Mata sa mata, ngipin sa ngipin Kung anong kinuha sya ring dapat bawiin. Death penalty ang dapat ipataw Para sa dalawang buhay ng walang awang inagaw  Dapat na tayong magising sa reyalidad Ang tatsulok ay sabay sabay nating ibaliktad. #RIP #JUSTICE  (c) Bernadette Manayon
