The Law of Ten Fold Return

Some call it pay forward or karma. As the saying goes, " Thou shall not do, what you want others to do unto you" However, I must say, if your doing good deeds, blessings will surely pour around you. But, be careful on your intentions, because every inch of action you does. Our dear Lord sees it. It is much appreciated if you do good things that comes from within. It means you sacrifice or help others, because you want it to happen and because your heart dictates it to help that needy person.

What does TEN fold means? It meant something like the universe coincide with every move you make. Whatever you give but if you will return 10x more stronger. The universal law dictates that everything you do will affect other person. It's not the same way, but, it will reflect it back to you. Somehow as you ignore it, it turns out to be naturally crafted by your own design that created to suit your actions.

So, next time you planned to do evil things to other person or hurt others. Think this way. Yes it will not harm you. Others, will be tearfully aching on your particular actions. Later, in years. Soon, you will reap what you sow. So, be good and it's much overwhelming to see that blessings showers you because you created a World filled with compassion, kindness and love. happy 10 fold journey...

The Glory of Friendship

People told me that you can find treasures on Earth. When, you dug on a mine 60 ft below filled with diamonds and Gold. Some says if you reach heaven, you can find jewels of happiness crowning your head as you reach the hands of our creator. While, pirates finds a map, fought and travel around each island to find hidden treasures in the caves or in ancient ships sunk hundred feet below the ocean floor.

However, I dwell in the joy of having a friend. Whenever, I share my deepest feelings, struggling times, personal pain, joy and suffering that we both celebrate the goal of having a successful life, love and career. That is all shared and remembered. The sincerity and real friendship are more valuable than any possessions in this World. So, I inspired others to find the Gold. A real Beauty of Friendship that last forever. A joy that brings a cheerful melody that entails the true meaning of Friendship.

One that never frets
One that never pitied others failures
One that never thinks his/her own interest
One that communicates with a heart
One that has humility and compassion to give love
One that gives trust and loyalty
One that encourages to live life and positively
One that marks real intentions of true friendship

To sum it up: The Glory of Friendship exists beyond time. All pains could be heal at the right hour and place. This is the Story that I wanted to share that determines how great is to have a True Friend.

We grew up together on the same neighborhood. Her Mom died when she was 7 years old. She had never experienced having a mom on her side. Even she had a Dad, she never felt she is loved especially when her Second Mom came. Ordinarily, we play after school that’s why we became so close. She became my Best friend and even like a Sister. Indeed, every Christmas and New Year we both celebrate it joyously. During our child hood days, life is easy and fun. As years goes by. We went to different Colleges, have new set of friends. But, days had been less. I have been busy in my Studies and so concentrated on achieving my dreams that I have forgotten a Friend who loves me dearly. We lost our connections. We misinterpret our own actions and we lost our Friendship. I cried for losing her and I have never valued her so much. I accepted my mistakes for losing her. I apologized but she never accepts so I let destiny takes its course.

Until, a tragic incident happens. Her Grandmother died. Maybe, God directs our way for us to rekindle our Friendship. Time heal all wounds as they say. Still, our love and compassion are in our hearts. All words are inexpressible. We just embrace so tight and cried, were best of friends again. Now, she had a 3 year old girl, though sometimes she visits and lived with us. She has been a part of our Family. Her Child had been our Angel who gives us joy on our turmoil world and loneliness. Marian comforts me during those times that I wanted to give up because of too much obligations in Family, Work, Love and Career. She and her child cheer up my mom to shift her depression stage into a cheerful glow. She tells me to hold on to our dear Lord and be hopeful that we can surpass all this trials we had. Vice versa, I have been a great adviser to her in terms of her Husband’s dilemma and her confused stage if she will pursue teaching or not. I have been there to comfort her and give her a pat on the head when her decisions are drifting its path. I’ve been very vocal on her mistakes on her marriage.

Though, I believe, even our communications snaps out again. I can determine that we can trust and always be there to each other, no matter what happens we will always care and love each other. Our friendship will remain strong. We may lose our way. But, For In our hearts, our genuine friendship, love and trust will always remain. We value each other. We value our True Friendship. I found the Glory of Friendship Like I found Christ in her.

A Filipina in Lebanon: A Hero in our Generation!

When I was in Duty, I met this strange girl last December 30, 2008 in Rizal’s day, a double Holiday at NAIA. When Emirate Airline Passengers arrived, we all monitored their temperature. As time pass by. I decided to comfort myself and excrete some water left in my bladder. But, before, I managed to do it, I was bothered by the noise of a lady passenger who came from Lebanon, she continued to tell story about her life. Yes, I met a unique, 24 year old girl, she talks intensively and continuously, with a 2 layered coat for winter dress, a fine boots and a well-dressed design clothes, it’s like she drunk an energy drink that makes her to be so hyperactive and so alive. Yet, she had too much anger and hatred within to a fellow Filipina, her co-worker. She talks about her job in Lebanon, how she was loved by her Master, how he love her husband and family she left in the Philippines and how she learn how to speak Arabic and French. I was so surprised how she managed to talk so straight and voice out all her sentiments. Even the janitress thought she’s losing her mind. But, we concluded that she’s having an anxiety attack of too much homesick in a foreign country.

I guess, too kindness and ignorance can make a person fragile and so vulnerable. At young age, with that experience, oftentimes, you end up depressed and lonely. I believe she’s a loving daughter, kind and a friendly person that acts so indifferently. But, I can sense her Heart of Gold. She might experience a lot of hardships, pains and tears but I can feel that she’s a good and loving person. As I prayed she will be well and be happy this coming 2009.

I’ve tried to accompany her to Medical Clinic with Michelle on my side, to check if her BP rises up because she talk’s so much. Yes, I smiled because I’m amazed how she acts and speaks. But, within I pitied her and I wanted to help her to be happy and calm herself down because she is here in the Philippines now. She is Home now with her Family. I hope she will find love, peace of mind and happiness this coming year. She’s a Lebanon Worker who dedicates and sacrificed herself for a great future for her Family. May Good things happen this year for her and for her Family.

Then, weeks later, I read an article in the newspaper stated Filipinos working illegally in the country of Lebanon, then, I remembered Rachelle. She’s one of those Filipina who works independently just to fight the poverty and financial crisis in the Philippines. All Filipinos are going out in the country to find green pastures. They take risk for their family’s sake. OFW are the new living heroes of our generations. I salute them. May our Government recognized and value all the works of All Overseas Filipino Workers because they are the most higher percentage that gives revenues for the Philippine Government.
