Gone

When you remember me, it means that you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. It means that if we meet again, you will know me. It means that even after I die, you can still see my face and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart.
For as long as you remember me, I am never entirely lost. When I'm feeling most ghost-like, it is your remembering me that helps remind me that I actually exist. When I'm feeling sad, it's my consolation. When I'm feeling happy, it's part of why I feel that way.
If you forget me, one of the ways I remember who I am will be gone. If you forget, part of who I am will be gone.

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.

There are few things as gratifying and heart-warming as watching your child sleeping peacefully, lost in their own little world of dreams, with no cares or worries.

Who are the real Robbers? 🍂

During a robbery in America, the bank robber shouted to everyone in the bank: "Don't move. The money belongs to the State. Your life belongs to you." Everyone in the bank laid down quietly. This is called the "Mind Changing Concept." Changing the conventional way of thinking. When the bank robbers returned home, the younger robber (MBA-trained) told the older robber (who has only completed Year 6 in primary school): "Big brother, let's count how much we got." 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
