    kat2x wrote a new post, The Bird that Brings Death 7 years, 7 months ago

    Have you heard a bird that chirps like a gecko? Or something close to that? In the past years, people in my village were disturbed of that bird. I believe there’s only one bird in the area that flies around.

    I […]

    • Perhaps there is this kind of bird that really symbolizes a bad omen i remember my mom told me that there was this urban legend in their own hometown which leads to the death of many when a a black hawk bird is seen going around like a lion waiting for someone to devour.

    • I think that is just a superstitious belief just like a superstitious belief here similar to that.

      Some old people here in our province also believe of a certain bird here, that follows women who are pregnant.

      It is said that when there is someone pregnant in the house that bird who is actually a witch that eats the fetus inside the pregnant woman, would be on the roof to await for a chance to do so. It is said that it will have its tongue that can pass a small hole, into the pregnant woman’s stomach to get the fetus.

      So, the husbands or the wife itself would surround their windows every evening with garlic which is said to ward off the bird.

      But it is only a superstitious belief, but there’s no harm if we follow the antidote for that bird.

      • Here is a huge butterfly or sometimes a cat (that’s why I’m so afraid of cats.. Lol!) Many would manifest that they had seen the creature they called “manananggal” .. when you see it flying around your rooftop it looks like a huge butterfly or a woman with an umbrella but without legs.. 😀

    If they broke every pencil in the world I’d have to start chiseling words into walls.

    Mamie Lang

     

    This was the title of an article I read in the May 2003 issue of Good Housekeeping, U.K. Fourteen yea […]

    • This is a very inspiring story, it just goes to tell us that what You are doing now or where you ar3 now does not determine where you will end up. God indeed has his own way of dealing with our sorrows and frustrations in life all we need to do is to trust him. This lady had no idea that her story would end her in the position that she has now. All she knew is that she is a cleaner and that is what she amounts to. Sometimes we are pushed to do certain things by people who don’t even know us and it’s this stranger’s that propel us to greater levels in our lives. Another thing I have learned from this story is that you should never look down upon yourself because there is a hero in all of us. We all are capable of doing certain things in life. It also reminds me to never look down upon anything because it’s through that thing that your blessing may come from. Always do your work with joy, love what you do, put in effort do it to the best of your knowledge and even though you may not see much in what you do, remember that there is always someone watching from afar and they might just be the breakthrough that you have always wanted.

      • Oh, I do love your comment and your insights on this post! Everything you said is true and it hit right thru the heart.

        It is true that we must never belittle anyone just because of their status in life, their gender, their work etc. Respect must always be given, whether you are rich or poor.

        And so very true that a much Greater Being is watching over us, always.

    • powering story, from a human who liked to fight and stand on her feet, she delt with her sorrow in a way to benefit from, pushed her self capablitly so she can become something or legend after she was poor human, reminds me of many of the people who become a flag after they were either waiters or cleaner or anthing or any job that made less money, with keep on failing they learned that they are strong and they are good to live a good live but needs to find a way to reach aht life that they want.
      great people are not people with money but people who do not give up and do great jobs for themselves and for the society that ht they live in

      • Mamie Lang is really an inspiration for me for she really believes that she can be better than what her current job is. No obstacle can hinder her drive in achieving what she really wants in life.

        So true about your last sentence. Those who do not give up are bound to succeed.

    Ruby wrote a new post, This Dad goes home for lunch from his Makati Office to their residence in Quezon City, everyday! 7 years, 7 months ago

    It was twelve years ago since my dad passed away. My husband and I reminisced on the days when my dad was still working in Makait City, as the Legal Officer in one of the biggest banks in that area. What we talked […]

    • Traffic was not that congested at that time, unlike today, one can not do it. Your father was a good husband, because he loves your Mom’s cooking and he took the time to have lunch with her at home; and you too!

      • Those were the days when traffic was not heard of as much as we have it today. I think I can count myself lucky for having experienced the ‘no traffic’ scene of metro manila.

        Yes, my dad was such a good person, not because I am his daughter but because I saw how he cared about us and other people.

    • That was a very nice togetherness with your dad. I am so sure your heart was bleeding in sadness when he died.It is not easy to lost someone dear to us especially our parents.I hope your mom is still alive this time and still enjoying her cook.Thanks for this nice post.

      • Thanks, too, Cely for liking and commenting on my post.

        Both my parents are gone and we do surely miss them so much! But since they have taught as well, we were able to cope up with the loneliness.

    • That is good story and all of us do that, for me my work si 30 minuts if no crowd and really i hate everyday or amost every day to go to my job, but what to do, we need to work for ourselves for the family for the community for many reasons, but only if the work is near by it would be better, the crowd is another thing, oh my God and the traffic is so bad when its summer and the ac is not working
      But in some places its not the crowd that is the issue wince it becom somthign that you are used to with the time wnd with daily usage, but the issue is the stupid drivers who rush you and they run to the road or those who do it slow way things i can never understand and make me so angry from them, they should have their own way and they think as if the king fo the raods.
      thanks for sharing the story

    • It was interesting to read your post regarding your dad’s practice of going home for lunch from bank. True it is good to have food in one’s own home. good day

    • If my working place is not away from my home, I would prefer to go home during lunch time to eat together with my wife. I have the same feeling with your dad. I do appreciate the foods cooked by my wife. I would love to see her on how busy she is. My presence is more than enough to relieve her of her chores.

      Eating together is one of the important moments I always cherish to do especially not only with my wife but also with my 6 children. I am happy to see them eating together in one table, talking, joking and whatever they do. We have a strong family ties because of that and also we believe that family could be together forever.

      Every year especially during new year’s day, we spend our quality time with our family in going outing especially to the beach. Our family bonding is indeed strengthened. We want to build the true spirit of family that prays together, stays together or even forever.

      Anyway, in this kind of attitude a dad has shown has edified the saying, “there is no place like home.” I believe that.

    Credit image share to pixabay.com accounting 57284_960_720.jpg

    Each and every individual would like to have a good name, fame and  image in the society and to achieve this especially when we are in business or […]

    • Actually, the best thing to do to be able to build your financial credibility is to live simply.

      By living simply, means you get to pay your bills on time , buy what you only need and be able to save some for your future or a big want like a car.

      Indeed, paying ahead of the deadline would create an image to the credit company that you are a good payor. Even without asking for an additional credit limit, they will keep calling you to avail of their low interest loan.

      Why should you take the loan on the first place, when you have no need for it.

      So, better yet, never entertain them, lest your debt will increase if you take them being enticed by the little interest.
