Sunlight Within!

I like this shot. It can be applied to us. Every person is beautiful like this flower. That in every person there is a sunlight that glows within. There is always that glow inside us that makes us humans beautiful and unique in our own ways. There is always that goodness within us, inside our hearts glowing like a torch that lights and touch the hearts of every person we meet in our lives.

Munting Hiling by Willie

Munting Hiling

by Willie Revillame

Walang kasing dakila higit at pinagpala

Kapag naririning mo ang hiling ng iyong kapwa

Hindi ba't mas mapalad pusong may pang-unawa

Inalay mong ligaya ay hindi mawawala Kung may pag-ibig ay may pag-asa

Na ang dulot ay laging saya

Ang pagtulong ay huwag ipagkait

Pang-unawa ang ating ihatid Tayo ay laging magsama-sama

Ang ialay natin ay saya

Ang mundo'y tunay na kay ganda

Kung sa tuwina ay may pagkakaisa Ang bawat kahilingan kung mauunawaan

Mawawala ang galit at tampo ng sino man

Bigyan mo ng pag-asa ang taong nagdurusa

Na ang liwanag ay sumikat sa bawat isa Kung may pag-ibig ay may pag-asa

Na ang dulot ay laging saya

Ang pagtulong ay huwag ipagkait

Pang-unawa ang ating ihatid Tayo ay laging magsama-sama

Ang ialay natin ay saya

Ang mundo'y tunay na kay ganda

Kung sa tuwina ay may pagkakaisa Dapat nating buksan ang isip at damdamin

Huwag nang ipagkait itong ating munting hiling sa inyo Kung may pag-ibig ay may pag-asa

Na ang dulot ay laging saya

Ang pagtulong ay huwag ipagkait

Pangunawa ang ating ihatid Tayo ay laging magsama-sama

Ang ialay natin ay saya

Ang mundo'y tunay na kay ganda

Kung sa puso ay may pagkakaisa

Just to make you SMILE ( From a strictly mathematical viewpoint: )

What Equals 100%?

What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to give over 100%.

How about achieving 101%?

What equals 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Zis represented as:1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

Then: H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K is 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98%

And K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E is 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 =96%

But, A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E is 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 =100%

AND, Look how far the love of God will take you

L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D is 12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 =101%

Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and

Attitude will get you there, it's the

Love of God that will put you over the top!

The Road To Life's Journey

Where does this Road leads to?

To heaven's bliss Or to hell's wrath?

Life can be Full of tricky roads;

I can only hope that

This is the right path

I'm leading to in This journey of life...

Love,guidance and support from persons who care for me
