Nostalgia

The words "There's no place like home", sounded like bell's ringing to me. It reminds me of my childhood, the life that has been drawn into oblivion. Way back in 1970s, I grew up in a small barrio in one of the islands in Visayas. A place where water is abundant. A place nearby a seashore that once had a beautiful white sand and tall mangroves which trunks couldn't be measured by the span of arms. It's so nice to swim in the seawater which color was as clear as crystal, especially during high tide. The smell of the sea breeze increased my appetite. The sifting of the waves tickled my ears like music in the night. Remembering them gives me a feeling of nostalgia. They said, "There's no place like home", but though, every bit of them has been drifted away in the sea of forgetfulness, because all of them have been ravaged by man alone.

Encouragement in the Midst of Discouragement

Before I got my job now, I've been through a lot of ups and downs. A lot of emotional and financial crises in searching for a job. There were times that I envied other people and questioned God's fairness. I became impatient and almost lost my hope until such time that I even questioned God's existence.During my discouragement, my sister came in and told me these words, " Don't force the time to come and bring you fortune. Be patient, stay calm, take it easy, do your part and pray.Let it come in its own right time as easy as you don't expect it." So I hold on her words, and it's true. I landed a job without exerting too many efforts.e

Rest

Each man needs rest. Even God rested during the seventh day after working. Man works for five to six days a week. He needs to relax and refuel even in just one day in order to gain strength to survive for another week. Man works hard in order to live, but it doesn't mean that he's living in order to work. There are people who aren't working, and yet they get tired and there are also people who keep on working and never get tired. Maybe it's because they love it and feel contented with it. No matter how relaxing is ones task, without contentment, he can never find rest. Furthermore, no matter how difficult and hard is ones task, if he's contented, then he can find rest in the midst of it.

Bumper to Bumper

People living in an urbanize City suffered a heavy traffic. There is what we call " rush hour". This is in between 6:30-8:00 in the morning where people are running and rushing towards their offices. The buzz ling and the horn blowing of jeep ness are very noisy. The streets are busy while the pedestrian lanes are crowded with people walking to and fro. Traffic enforcers are sweating because some hurried people are violating the traffic laws. In the afternoon, again, everybody is experiencing another severe traffic. People are rushing home from their works. It causes another headache for the enforcers. This is the traffic scenario of a highly populated City.

Water, A Symbol of Life and Death

Water serves us a lot of things.It is a nutrient. It can quench our thirst. It can also help in our digestive system. It can remove dirt. It cleans and softens.Water is one of the most essential elements in man's life. Any living creatures can't go on living without it. Water gives us life, a symbol of life. Water can be a dangerous enemy. Water can also be a torturer, executioner, and a killer to anyone anytime anywhere.

The Difference Between Old And New Generation

Youth of today used to hear criticism from older people. Neither did I scape from it during my teenage time. Old people always judge and compare the young ones with them. According to them, they're more modest, refine, polite, respectful, obedient and courteous while the new generations are flirt, rude, impolite and stubborn. During my time, every time I heard those comments, I always reacted and argued them. Now that I'm already adult, still I don't agree with those judgements. For me, what happened in the old times were also happening now. Each individual's character depends on how his or her family's upbringing. Good and bad traits of people can be seen nowadays and even before. I think the only difference between these two generations is the modern technology in which the new generations are trying to cope up with.

My Workaholic Brother

As of now, we are living in a house of my father. Downstairs is where my brother's engraving shop. When we went home last night, it was around twelve midnight. As we entered inside the house, my brother was still working. His assistance was engraving while he was polishing the nameplates. At dawn, I still heard the sounds of the grinder. When I woke up this morning, he's still working even until I left to work. That is how dedicated he is to his work even if his earnings does not compensate his efforts. Seldom he relaxes. It seems that quiting does not exist in his mind. He never stop finding ways to prove his theory. If ever he's hired in a certain company, surely he will be a good asset because he is a workaholic.

The online booking agency dedicated to Morocco

The popular, but wholly incomplete, picture of Morocco is of a hot sand pit which starts at the overcrowded beaches of Agadir and extends to the dunes of the Sahara Desert. A truer and more honest picture would include a description of the Northern half of Morocco which is made up of vast expanses of fertile agricultural lands, forests, productive vineyards and lush, green grazing meadows. Other surprises include outstanding snow - skiing near Marrakech; superb Golf courses and a summer climate that is similar to most Mediterranean resorts. Morocco brims over with contrast, colour and mystery and all you can do is simply catch your breath in wonder. It has a timeless quality that no longer exists in the modern world, a sense that the past with all its glory and savagery still lives on, threading in and out of the present, informing with its every word and gesture.
