HIGHWAYS OF MY DREAM

By: ed j. titular

Flashing lights along the railway
the silence of the night seems so scary
nobody wants to stand for all the calm
like running water all has the way
Scream. everyone wants to be free
the night is over and nobody got his share.

Innocent as nobody shows care
fair must be to make you happy
smile, for there’s always a sunny day
the door is ajar and you have your way
erase those tears and have that love
for only love...can drive you away.

Seems everyone is hanging and floating
to be there I sjust reach out and be true
unsure about tomorrow is what you feel
the crazy world is now fading
And lightning over joys one’s emptiness
But, why I’m still alone after all these years?
For the reason of my existence still hold bars.

Now I realized that one must move on
Life is full of enchantments as long as I’m here
And that stormy clouds have their smiles
And together hand in hand we’ll cross it over
For far across there is an eternal flame
And that dark shadows find its way no more.

Breaking that rule is sometimes worth for
And knowing there must be always so dear
The way is endless and full of sentiments
Break not your heart till the end
For flowers blooms in every second
But being young and smooth means all around.

How I wish I could told stories where I begin
For scattered leaves fills me even I’m done
Next in line I’ll be on my way
And hopeless moments become so shy
Lifeless… and you’re just goodbye
And that mob becomes a bum gradually
Until I realized that I’m just dreaming...

“Gandang Biyahira”

Ni: Kabayang PITOY

Dear Kabayang Pitoy,

Ako po ay malugod na taga subaybay ng inyong Sambayanihan at ako’y nakikiliti sa mga kwentong migrante na ‘yung inilathala. Gusto ko rin pong ibahagi sa iyo ang aking karanasan bilang “biyahira”. Pasensya na po kayo kasi bisaya po ang tagalog ko as in… Tawagin niyo na lang po akong “gandang biyahera”. Ako po ay nabubuhay sa pamamagitan ng pagdala ng mga kagamitan at pera ng ating mga kababayan pauwi sa Pinas dahil sa awa ng Diyos ako po ay may tourist visa. Bale ang nanay ko po ay nakapag “tsinggo” ng Koreano at kaya ako po ay kukuha ng 15 days tourist Visa sa atin at pagdating dito ako ay nag aarubayt sa mga factory at tapus ng 15days ako ay magpa extend ng 59 days bago uuwi at mag aaply ulit ng Toursit Visa. Kadalasan po ako rin ay kumukuha ng mga order na damit sa Pinas at mga borloloy, pabango at mensan ako po ay nagdadala ng bata pauwi sa Pinas.

Kabayang Pitoy, ako po ay natutuwa dahil kahit papaano kumikita naman po ako at ang tawag sa akin ng mga kaibigan ko ay “gandang biyahera”. Pwede po ba akong sumali sa inyong patimpalak na gagawin sa KangWonDu beach na Search for Ginoo-Binibining Pilipinas sa Korea? Sa mga criteria mukhang may panlaban ako sa bunong braso dahil sanay po akong magbuhat ng mga mabibigat na bagahe. Salamat po.

Ang iyong Tagahanga,

Gandang Biyahera

14 Sunday of Ordinary Time

My dear friends, from this Gospel, we have two points for reflection. The first point is this. Sabi po ng ating Panginoon, “I give praise to you, Father, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned, you have revealed them to little ones.” Well actually, in this point, ang ating Panginoon po ay nagsusumbong sa kanyang Ama, sa God the Father. At ang kanyang isinusumbong po ay ’yung kanyang experience sa mga tao noong panahon na iyon. At ano po ba ’yung kanyang experience? Ito po. Yun pong mga matatalino at ’yung mga matataas ang pinag aralan na tinutukoy ni Hesus ay walang panahon para sa kanya. At ’yun namang mga mabababa ang pinag aralan at ordinary people ay sila yung nakinig sa mga pangaral ng ating Panginoon.

My dear friends, take note. Dito po, Christ is not condemning intelligence nor intellectual power, No! far from that, here, what Christ is condemning is INTELLECTUAL PRIDE, dahil ’yon and nandoon sa mga wise and the learned. “To listen is not a sign of stupidity, but a sign of humility.” Especially to listen to the Word of God. “The home of the Bible is not in the mind, but in the heart”.

The second point of our reflection, my dear friends, is this “sabi ng Panginoon, come to me all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light”. Christ present an alternative with two important commandments LOVE GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, MIND and SOUL. And LOVE YOUR FELLOW PEOPLE AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF. These two commandments summarizes EVERYTHING that has been written in the law and EVERYTHING that has been taught by the prophets”. This second point of our Lord, actually, he was giving us the difference between RELIGIOUSITY and SPIRITUALITY. He is implying that here. What is the difference between religiosity and spirituality? Kung ikaw, brother or sister, you are obeying the laws of God and the laws of the Churh dahil sa pagmamahal mo sa Dios, higit sa lahat, higit sa anuman, at dahil sa pagmamahal mo sa iyong kapwa tao katulad ng pagmamahal mo sa iyong sarili, then that is spirituality. And spirituality is what Christ is promoting.

Tell it to Your Heart

By ed j. titular, chasan-ri, sk

Tell it toyour heart that it’s time for you to start a new beginning that nobody could hurt that sunshine is always there even in your darkest moment and that your touch could ease someone’s loneliness and that you and I are really meant for others.

Tell it to your heart that life is true and that all things happened has its reason to believe that even fluctuating lights needs to be resuscitates and tomorrow is more promising and beautiful if you only believe that life is wonderful.

Tell it to your heart that someone is longing for your love that you are one of the reason of their existence and that the next morning when they wake up your face and your smile makes them complete and that you give them strength to face whatever life’s battle.

Tell it to your heart that you need to be humble and that everyone has his own role to share and you’re not alone as you travel to life’s strangeness and that with you, their lives will be full of happiness and that nobody could stand alone without you.

Tell it to your heart that you must protect all God’s creation and that everything could be a part of your system and you must live life on its basic components and that your presence could propagate love to someone’s heart.
Tell it to your heart that with you. OUR WORLD IS PROUD TO HAVE YOU.

Why Are you Overweight?

The Inside Scoop on Dieting

You are overweight for the most simple of reasons — because you’re eating the wrong foods, the wrong types of calories per meal, and you’re also eating meals in the wrong patterns each day. Think closely about what we’re about to tell you, since it’s going to change the way you think about dieting…

Food is more powerful than any prescription weight loss pills, because the FOOD tha tyou eat can either make you THIN of FAT. You don’t get fat because of the lack of exercising, that’s a myth. You get fat because you don’t eat the right foods at the right intervals each day.

Also, the Pattern what you choose to eat your meals each day is more powerful than any prescription weight loss pills. This is true because your body is like an “engine” and it only needs certain foods at certain intervals each day, and if you don’t eat the right foods at the right times then it won’t burn those calories—and you’ll wind up storing those calories as fat tissue. (Hint: you need to eat more than 3 times per day to lose weight, but we’ll show you the details).

You have gotten overweight by eating the wrong foods, that much is a fact. And guess what? You can get SLIM by eating the RIGHT FOODS at the RIGHT INTERVAL each day.

It’s not really any more complicated than that, and the way to start losing weight has NOTHING to do with starving yourself or jogging.

· Low Calorie diets Do NOT Work—Now, you know the reason why you can eat 1,000 calories per day and not lose any weight while your friends can eat 2,500 calories per day and not gain any weight.
· Low FAT Diets Do NOT Work– also, virtually every person in today’s society is buying mostly “low fat” or “non fat” food at the grocery store, everybody is conscious of the “fat grams” inside the food they buy. However, people are getting fatter than ever by doing this and people are not losing weight by switching to the “low fat lifestyle”.
· Low CARB Diets make You MISERABLE.

Low CARB diets have certainly become popular in recent years, but such diets often leave you feeling miserable each day (since they drain most of your energy and carbohydrates leave you feeling quite awful each day).

Check out these facts below…
Did you know that several popular low carb diets are so strict that you cannot even eat a large apple during the first couple weeks? It’s True.

Also, many low carb diets won’t even let you enjoy a “normal” restaurant meal (order without any carb restrictions) for many months after you begin. Therefore, low carb diets can leave you feeling MISERABLE each day, which is not the answer.

Ang Pagtatapos ni Kabayang Arnold sa Korea Bow!

KUWENTONG MIGRANTE, TINIG MIGRANTE
Ni Kabayang PITOY

(Arnold Bautro is leaving Korea for good and looking for a greener pasture in the country he was dreaming. He is one of our community lectors and silent volunteer during the time of Fr. Dong Marvcaida, MSP. Von Voyage Kabayang Arnold)

Panahon nang tag-lamig noong ako ay dumating ditto sa Korea at di pa nuon bumabagsak ang snow pero sobrang lamig na… Mensan isang umaga pag gising ko umuulan nang Yelo, di ko maipaliwanag ang saya ko at dali-dali ako lumabas para maglarosa makakapal na yelo, daig ko pa nuon and isang bata pero sa umpisa lang pala ’yun. Dahil nang sumunod na mga araw eh kasumpa-sumpa ang lamig. Salamat sa Dios at nakayanan ko yun lahat...marami pang pagbabago ang nangyari sa buhay ko at di lang sa klima ako naka adjust maging sa pagkain at sa mga taong nakaka usap ko lalao na sa mga singkit dahil karamihan sa kanila eh masama ang ugali, mabango ka lang sa kanila kapag napapakinabangan ka nila.

Ganoon pa man, marami akong natutunan sa loob nang pitong taon kong pakikipagsapalaran dito sa Korea at ipinagpasalamat ko lahat iyon sa “Poong lumikha” dahil sa lakas at tibay ng loob na binigay niya sa akin, sa kabila nang pagiging malayo ko sa mga mahal sa buhay. At nagpasalamat din ako dahil dito lalong lumalalim ang tiwala ko sa “Kanya” sa pamamagitan nang paglilingkod ko sa simbahan.

Ngayong lilisanin ko ang bansang Korea at mangingibang bansa, nagpapasalamat ako sa mga taong naging kabahagi nang buhay ko ditto sa mga kaibigan. Magpapasalamat din ako sa mga taong nakasama ko, dumamay sa akin sa problema at sa yo Panginoon maraming salamat sa iyo.
Pagpalain pa nawa kayo at ingatan sa lahat nang oras at paalam. Hinding hinde ko kayo makakalimutan. Salamat sa karanasan.salamat mga kababayan…paalam Bansang Korea.
