A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.
SON : 'Daddy, may I ask you a question?'
DAD : 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the man.
SON : 'Daddy, how much do you make an hour?'
DAD : 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the man said angrily.
SON : 'I just want to know.. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'
DAD : 'If you must know, I make $20.00 an hour.'
SON : 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON: 'Daddy, may I please borrow $10.00 ?'
The father was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior.'
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think:
Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10..00 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.
'Are you asleep, son?' He asked..
'No daddy, I'm awake,' replied the boy.
'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the man.
'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you.
Here's the $10.00 you asked for..'
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you daddy!' He yelled.
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.
'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the father grumbled.
'Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied.
'Daddy, I have $20.00 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?
Please come home early tomorrow.. I would like to have dinner with you.'
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness.
It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts..
Do remember to share that $20.00 worth of your time with someone you love.
If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days....
But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family.
PLS READ WITH FAITH.. This is an awesome prayer..
Believe it and you shall be blessed.
The problem with many of us is that we don't believe that God will open a Window and pour out blessings that we won't have room to receive them. I Dare anyone to try God. He is true to His word. God cannot lie and His Promises are sure.
Three things will happen to you this coming week:
(1) You will find favour with someone you don't expect;
(2) You will be too relevant to be ignored;
(3) You will encounter God and you will never remain the same again.
My prayer for you today:
The eyes beholding this message shall not behold evil, the hands that will send this message to others shall not labour in vain, the mouth saying Amen To this prayer shall laugh forever. Remain in God's love as you send this Prayer to everybody y on your list. Have a lovely journey of life!

Photography is a work of art
Develop an artistic eye using your cell phone camera or just a plain camera. We can all take a good shot of our friends, of places we’ve visited and of memorable moments. Now, let’s try to create a pictorial masterpiece.
Remember the points presented on finding Lines, Forms, Shapes and Colors that make a subject aesthetically appealing. Find something unique in the person that can be captured digitally. A tip: Do not be afraid to get close to the subject as necessary. Make sure the bright light is behind you.
Are the hands more interesting to photograph? Maybe the feet? Is the smile all you need? With digital cameras, we can take as many pictures of the same subject from different angles with less or more light until you have the best shot. Sometimes you take picture, focused only on the subject matter. Later, you see that your best friend has telephone pole growing out of his head. Or your friend’s eyes are closed. Photography like painting is examining the subject matter and the environment so that the photo is perfectly composed.
Wait for the decisive moment. To make a photography interesting, wait for that moment when the subject matter will do something intimate and truthful. Instead of taking picture of the bride and groom, wait for the moment when you expect them to kiss and take that instead. A child is figuring a puzzle and you can tell that he will figure it out very soon. Wait and take a picture when he has solved it and gives out a big smile. That’s what is meant by a decisive moment.
Photographs are more interesting when there is animation, action, sense of motion. Catch the dancer’s leap. Catch the baby running. Catch the couple about to embrace. Catching motion in a photograph enlivens an image.
Today, every photograph has a smiling pose. Seek out other emotions and photograph them. See someone by the window pensively looking outside? Take a picture. Someone sleeping? Eating? Take a picture. Tears? Shock? Anger? Take a picture. Photographing a variety of emotions are the beginnings of serious artistry.

Despite being tagged as PGMA's "lapdog" or "paid hack" (unjustifiable nickname), he remains to be the least criticized candidate and the most efficient with his campaign. Somwhere in between, he must be doing something right to earn it.
It doesn't mean that if one opposes Gloria, that person could totally eradicate problems on corruption and could face a myriad more seemingly insurmountable issues our country is facing. It takes more than just opposing Gloria to solve the problems and issues of our country Philippines. One has to know issues and should concrete plans on how to deal with it. That, I do not see with other candidates. More than the WHAT can be done, I want to hear HOW things can be done, HOW results can be delivered.
GIBO too has no records of corruption. More than the clean record, GIBO has minimized corruption within DND during his term by 70%. That says more than just not stealing. While others busy throwing mud and findings ways to get what I perceive to be sympathy votes, GIBO stayed focus in his platforms. He continued influencing people to be positive and to avoid mudslinging, no matter how tempting it is at times.
Gibo's Paltform:
EDUCATION
Preparing our children for the future
Our children should be well equipped with the right skills and knowledge base to be globally competitive. Gibo pushes for academic excellence and a better curriculum, because he feels, the current curriculum is light in technical skills, mathematics, and English. By recommendation, a substantial and additional two years to the original six years of elementary is needed to prepare young Filipinos for four years of secondary education.
Exhaust all means to give everyone the proper college education
Loan Program
Aside from usual scholarships and state subsidies, creative solutions should also be implemented to give every Filipino the education that is rightfully his. One specific example for this is a loan system for the less fortunate, but deserving students in the tertiary level. When a student applies for a loan, he will be given a Social Security System (SSS) number. Immediately after he gets his first paycheck, it will register that he is getting a salary and subsequent deductions could be made.
GOVERNANCE
Pork Barrel: Competence in fund management is the solution
Reinforce the capability of the local government units to handle local funds and carry out intended projects. The issue According to Gibo, the pork barrel is not the problem, but how it is managed and utilized.
Regional Autonomy
The Congress should determine how much autonomy they allow different regions. “So they have the power to realign internal revenue allotments to regions that can’t. But I oppose in giving autonomy to regions which are not prepared, because merely of a military conflict.”
ECONOMY
Innovation is the key
To avoid a state of progress plateau, the country needs more innovative ideas to fuel the industry and the economy. The country has exhausted the era of copying and remodeling trends, it is time for something new in order for the country to become more globally competitive. The country needs to generate more ideas. The talents and minds of our countrymen is our greatest resource.
Aquino tags Villar volunteers
E-mail traced to wife of ex-Napocor head Delgado
The wife of former National Power Corp. (Napocor) president Guido Delgado started the e-mail chain of the first psychiatric report that cast doubts on the mental fitness of Liberal Party standard-bearer Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, the presidential candidate and his party said Wednesday.
Aquino particularly mentioned Joy Delgado, the wife of the former Napocor president, a volunteer of the camp of Nacionalista Party standard-bearer Manuel Villar.
“The wife reportedly started the first e-mail on this issue…So, this is the second time and we are saying that there is already malicious intent. They’re open for legal action,” Aquino said in Calumpit, Bulacan.
Joy’s e-mail
The e-mail of Delgado’s wife, forwarded by Lacierda to the Philippine Daily Inquirer, showed that she received it from someone. She asked if the signature of Fr. Tito Caluag, who signed the first report, was genuine.
“I got this in the e-mail, just now. I have never been one to forward destructive e-mails unless verified. But looking at Fr. Tito’s signature, as far as I can recall, it does look authentic. Unless of course, somebody did a copy-paste. Can you verify this with him please? I seem to have lost his mobile number,” her e-mail said.
An attachment to the mail was the fake evaluation of Aquino by Caluag.

Drink lots of liquid. Hit the sack as soon as you can. Keep your eye on your goal. And of course, pray, he said.
Talking to reporters on Tuesday night after addressing supporters at the Freedom Stage here, Teodoro said this was how he was keeping up with the gruelling 90-day presidential campaign which ends in less than 12 days.
“Since it’s hot these days, try to hydrate a lot,” the 45-year-old former Defense chief said.
Teodoro said he skips late nights-out with family, friends or supporters, and goes straight to bed.
“I go straight to bed, then wake up early the next day,” he said before motoring to Lapu-Lapu City for another rally. “But don’t forget prayers even if you’re tired,” he added.
This is not to say Teodoro has not fallen ill anytime throughout the campaign, which has brought him to many parts of the country, often by helicopter.
“I have cold and flu even if there is a flu shot It’s impossible for you not to get hit,” he said.
Despite a stressful campaign, that often entails walking for several kilometers to shake hands with the people, or standing for hours on the back of a pick-up in a motorcade under the scorching sun, Teodoro said he has no choice but to plod on.
“You have to move on. That’s how it is. You have a goal. You have to complete the goal. Look at the goal, not the road. You march 8 kilometers under the sun. But you don’t mind; you just move on,” he said.
In Danao on Tuesday night, the lights went out for about 26 minutes, apparently due to a power overload, delaying Teodoro’s address before a crowd of over 8,000.
Photo-op
During the lull, hordes of campaign volunteers and supporters clad in green shirts, and even local candidates jostled on the stage to pose for pictures with Teodoro, a Harvard-trained lawyer, pilot and exercise buff.
Young boys and girls coaxed Teodoro to sign the back of their green shirts for posterity, amid chants of “Gibo, Gibo, Gibo.”
Teodoro barnstormed most parts of Cebu with Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia.
Administration senatorial candidate, Mayor Ramon Guico of Binalonan, Pangasinan, also showed up at the rally organized by Danao Mayor Ramon Durano III and his son, Rep. Ramon Durano VI of the Nationalist People’s Coalition.
On Wednesday, Teodoro was set to fly to Camotes and Bantayan islands, and Dumanjug and Argao towns for more campaign rallies.

Employers’ wage increase offer: P10
Wennie Sancho said the management representatives in the board made the offer during the wage board meeting held at the Stakeholders Consultation Forum of the National Wages and Productivity Commission held in Cebu City on Monday.
The Western Visayas wage board meeting was held to take advantage of the presence of all its members so they could deliberate on a petition filed by the Trade Union of Filipino Workers for a P50 wage hike in Western Visayas.
The government representatives on the wage board also said during that meeting it shouldn’t be the outgoing president who should increase wages because it wouldn’t look good, Sancho said.
He said the statements from the government representative in the board appeared be a convenient excuse for a wage-freeze policy, he added.
Sancho, along with labor representative Hernani Braza, walked out of the Monday meeting in protest.
“The management has no conscience as shown by its offer of only P10 in wage increase, which was an amount that one would give street beggars,” according to Sancho.
“The workers are not beggars. They work to keep the economy going and should be justly compensated,” he said.
Sancho called the wage board proceedings a farce, adding that he was calling for the wage board’s abolition because it did not serve the interest of the workers but only that of management and government.
“The RTWPB was created to divide and rule at the workers’ expense. I am calling for the decision on the wage hike petitions to be handed back to Congress,” Sancho said.
He said the Labor Day on Saturday would be a sad one for labor but this would not deter them from continuing the struggle for workers’ emancipation.
Sancho said the Negros Labor Coalition would hold a forum on Saturday and a series of rallies to manifest their indignation against what he said was the collaboration of the government and the management against the workers.
