2016 Metrobank Outstanding Teachers

Hi everyone.

In case you are not yet aware of who the 2016 Outstanding Teachers are, well, here they are.  I am so glad that one of the teachers came from Naujan, Oriental Mindoro - my hometown.

Congratulation to all the winners.  Thank you Metrobank Foundation.

Flat Broke

I felt so financially drained this month.  Bills keep coming, Insulin expenses on my medication continue to grow,  business ventures dropped to its low, and so forth and so on. In fact, I had all my valuables either sold or put into pawnshops just to recover my losses only to find out that I was getting deeper into the limbo.  My wife's, financial resources likewise dwindled due to massive assistance she'd extending me.  Damn!

I was asked, "What was the heaviest thing that you carried?" I replied without out a blink that the heaviest thing that I carried is an empty wallet.  Up to this day, I've been experiencing that and to add grains of salt to my already wounded ego, I am now literally naked wearing only a sweet smelling scent.

Magtiwala sa Ating Kakayahan

Dapat lamang na magtiwala tayo sa ating kakayahan.  Hihina ang isang tao kapag alam niya na siya ay may masasandalan dahil ibubuhos niya ang buong tiwala sa kaniya.  Subalit kung wala tayong inaasahan lalabas ang tunay nating kakanyahan at iigting ang pagtitiwala natin sa ating sarili.

Ingatan ang Gamit

Ingatan natin ating mga gamit
Bag, cellphone, at pati na ang wallet
Mga magnanakaw kaygaling maniktik
Lahat ng bagay kanilang pinipitik!
