Dili ko sigurado ani nga pagsulat tungod kay sa dugay nga panahon ang akong mga amiga gakataw-an gayud ang akong binisaya. Ang uban ipatagalog na lang ko aron daw paspas, ang uban pud, magpasensya gayud ug tudlo taman nga matun-an nako ang sakto nga gamit sa isa ka pulong.
Ang akong kauban sa kinabuhai ikapila na usab ko niya gidasig nga musulat sa pinilungang binisaya tungod kay matod pa niya, malingaw gayud siya tungod siguro kay kabalo siya sa akong pagpaningkamot luyo sa kada patak sa tinta sa ball pen.
Busa karon ako na gayud buhaton ang pagmugna sa akong mga istorya gamit ang pinulungan sa isla nga ako ng gidak-an ug gimahal bisan pa man tuod ug ako gianak ug nagkabuot sa Luzon.
ang akong unang i-share mao ang panghitabo ganinang buntag kauban ang among gamay nga anak.
Nakamata ako sa paghalok sa gamay nga tiil nganhi sa akong nawong, masuko unta ko apan sa pagbuka sa akong mata, gitagbo ako sa mata sa gamay'g bata nga gangisi ug muingon "morning", nawala ang akong kaulit ug tuod man mitindog siya ug miambak nganho sa sa akong tiyan. aguy! kasakit! buot na maputol sa akong pasensya, apan kung ikaw kaha ang naa sa akong lugar unsa imong buhaton kung muduol siya ug kalit nimo daw muingon "yuyi... love,love, yuyi..." makuha pa kaha nimong masuko? Busa gaina nakaingon ako "Ginoon tagai ako ug igong kaisog ug self-control aron ang akong dili magpadayong dili ug ang among kasabutan maingon sa pagdisiplina mahimong magmalapuson sa pag-implementar.
Sa panghitabo gaina, nakasabot ako gamay nga ang mahimong inahan daghan gayud diay ang pangayuong sakripisyo, kalabot pa ang pagpugong sa kaugalingon nga mu-oo na lang pirmi sa iyang mga gusto:-)

Xanthia and her Memos of Love and Trust
My daughter, Xanthia, is growing very fast. Just a blink of an eye ago, I gave birth to her, now, I am learning a lot from her. I am not the very patient nanay like most of the mothers I know, but with her the gentlest part of me just flows in an unlimited energy and quantity. I am sure; every mother is amazed and is in awe with the power of our little angels in making us the gentlest yet sturdiest creature on earth. With all these and more thoughts of her brilliant, innocent and loving smile on my mind, I wish to share with you these adopted memoranda.
These memos always catch my attention whenever we go and pay her pediatrician, Dr. Mary Ann Alvisor, a visit. These memos teach and remind me of the biblical lines:
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. (Proverbs 22:15)
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. 17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul. (Proverbs 29:15, 17)
With these memos, we mothers can learn a lot. It would remind us our children are also blessed with mind, heart and soul. And while time is our friend, let us build a good foundation so one day they would become good citizens of the world who thinks not of themselves alone, but of the world as well.
21 MEMOS FROM A CHILD
1. Don't spoil me.
I know quite well that I ought not to have all I ask for.
2. Don't be afraid to be firm with me.
I prefer it, it makes me feel secured.
3. Don't let me form bad habits.
I have to rely on you to detect them at the early stages.
4. Don't make me feel smaller than I am.
It only makes me feel stupidly "big".
5. Don't correct me in front of people, if you can help it.
It will take much more notice, if you talk more quietly with me in private.
6. Don't make me feel that my mistakes are sins.
It upsets my sense of values.
7. Don't protect me from my consequences.
I need to learn the painful way sometimes.
8. Don't be too upset if I say "I hate you".
It isn't you I hate but your power to thwart me.
9. Don't take too much notice of my small ailments.
Sometimes they get me the attention I need.
10. Don't nag.
If you do, I shall protect myself by appearing deaf.
11. Don't forget that I cannot explain myself as well as I should like.
This is why I'm not always very accurate.
12. Don't tax my honesty too much.
I am easily frightened into telling lies.
13. Don't make rash promises.
Remember that I feel badly let down when promises are broken.
14. Don't be inconsistent.
That completely confuses me and makes me lose faith in you.
15. Don't take my fear as silly.
They are terribly real and you can do much to reassure me if you try to understand.
16. Don't put me off when I ask questions.
If you do, you will find that I stop asking and seek information elsewhere.
17. Don't ever suggest that you are perfect or infallible.
It gives me too great a shock when i discover you are neither.
18. Don't ever think it's beneath your dignity to apologize to me.
An honest apology makes me feel surprisingly warm towards you.
19. Don't forget how quickly I am growing up.
It must be very difficult to keep pace with me, but please do try.
20. Don't forget I am experimenting.
I couldn't get on without it so please put up with me.
21. Don't forget that I can't thrive without lots of understanding love, but I don't need to tell you, do I?

A Piece of Something
While I was walking, I stopped for a while and thought of things I don't have. Then I realized that the happiest of all people don't necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we're missing until it arrives.
In the gateway of my heart I put a sign that says, "No Trespassing" but love came laughing and said, "I enter everywhere". Love knows no reason. Love knows no lies. Love defies reasons, love has no eyes, but love is not blind. It sees but it doesn't mind. Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, the romance and you find you still care for the person. Love is supposed to be the most wonderful feelings. It should aspire you and give you joy and strength. But sometimes the things that give you joy can also hurt you in the end. It starts with a smile, develops with a kiss, and ends with a tear.
When you love, you must not expect anything in return. If you do, you're not loving but investigating. If you love; you must prepare to accept pain. For if you accept happiness you're not loving but using. Don't go for looks. It can deceive: don't go for wealth, even that fades away: go for someone who makes you smile, make a dark day seem bright.
The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not twist them to fit our own image otherwise we love only the reflections of ourselves we find in them. Never impress someone for the rest of your life.
A sad thing about life is that you meet someone who means a lot to you only to find out in the end that it was never bound to be, and you just have to let him go. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we should know how to be grateful for the gift. We oftentimes don't see the reason why we don't always get what we want, but in the end of it all, we realize that what we wanted wasn't meant for us, after all, everything happens for a reason. When you feel down because you didn't get what you wanted, just sit tight and be happy because God is thinking of something better for you.
It hurts to love someone and not loved in return, but what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel. It's always better to have found the courage in love even if you lose it in the end rather than never finding love because you were too afraid to face its challenge. The greatest regrets in our lives are the risks we didn't take. If you think something will make you happy, go for it. Remember that you only pass this way once.
Love no matter how hard you find it, it won't… No matter how hard you try, you won't get it. But when you're about to give up, it comes. Sometimes the love we are looking for is right in front of us—too close for the eyes to see. So close, your eyes and heart see itself. There are things you love to hear but you can never hear it from a person who says it with his heart. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want him or her doesn't mean that they don't love you with all that they have. There are so many stars in the sky, only some are radiant to be noticed. Among those you choose to ignore is the one, which is willing to shine for you forever even if your glance remains elsewhere.
God never closes a door without opening a window. He always gives something better when He takes something away. Heartbreaks will last as long as you want and cut deep as you allow them to go. Challenge is not how to survive heartbreaks but to learn from them. In relationship, thank God you're hurting or crying. There you are given a chance to measure the importance of the person because you experienced suffering. We have no right to ask when sorrows come, "Why this happens to me?", unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way. When God puts a tear in your eye, it's because He wants to put rainbow in your heart.
A heart truly in love never loses hope but always believe in the promise of love. No matter how long the time and distance. Never say goodbye when you still want to try. Never give up when you still feel you can take it. Never say you don't love the person anymore when you could not let go. True love doesn't have a happy ending, that's because true love doesn't have an ending.
