My 41st Year

It is July 30, 2013. Almost to hit my 41st natal day which is on July 31. Seemed worried, seemed sad.

This is really it. I have to tell myself that I am beginning to age. I looked at the mirror to see my face to see some lines on it. Yes there are fine lines. Though not so visible but it is present.

I began to ask myself, "Hey, what have you achieved?" I used to tell myself I have not achieved anything. I used to feel I got nothing. I used to tell I am alone. But after I prayed, I felt that I have achieved many things. Just by making my 3 kids live a decent and easy life is an achievement. Feeling that I got nothing was vanished for I have my kids who love me and whom I really love and treasure. They are my gifts. Indeed my all. I am never alone, I have my kids, I have my mom, my brothers and sisters around, I have real friends...and most of all, I have God with me.

Worries that I am aging and the appearance of every line were vanished as well for when I see my kids growing healthy, happy and loved are signs that I have done great things in my life. That the decision I have made was very much right.

Living alone as a mom and a dad to my kids make me a bit tired, but I am always having this thought in my mind that at the end of the day, I will still stand tall and proud and say, I was a useful parent and I have contributed greatly to God's words and teachings.

Yes, there are those who tried to set off and discovered their own happiness without thinking that their families were destroyed. I could have gone to look for my own happiness but I chose not to. When I decided to be a wife and a parent, I have had a great love for my family, my kids. I wanted to by them, with them and attend to them.

I shouldn't be sad, NO! I should never be. No one has to be sad. Our own kids are our real happiness.

They are mine.

English Language; Key to Global Access

ENGLISH LANGUAGE; KEY TO GLOBAL ACCESS Juliet Fortich Language, this is how people communicate. Without this we can never understand each other. Language though may come in different ways. It may be by touch, by mere actions, sound and most of all through the use of speech. Everyone may be able to communicate with each other using their own way. But nothing is much clearer than speaking.                 People all around the globe speak different languages. Some speak British, some Italian, others speak Arabic, Korean, Niponggo, Mandarin and some speak Chinese. But nothing can beat the international language which is English. Who understands the languages I mentioned aside from English? Do you?                 English so far stands out from the rest. Go to anywhere in the world and speak different language beside their own and see if people understand. Speak English and you will be understood.                 Is English Language difficult? Yes for some who refuse to lea

ENGLISH LANGUAGE: KEY TO GLOBAL ACCESS

ENGLISH LANGUAGE; KEY TO GLOBAL ACCESS English is one of the most important languages in the world. It can even be said to be the single most important language. Though other languages are important too, but not for the same reasons as English is. Why? Maybe because it is the only language that truly links the whole world together. If not for English, we may not be as united as it is today. Modern English is the most dominant and  required international language of communications, science, information technology, business, aviation, entertainment, radio and diplomacy. The growing economic and cultural influence of the United States and its status as a global superpower since World War II have significantly accelerated the language’s spread all across the planet. A working knowledge of English has become a requirement in a number of fields, occupations and professions such as medicine and computing; as a consequence over a billion people speak English to at least a basic l

Motherless boys

             As I was taking a rest from my very tiring work one afternoon, two kids came to me and greeted me, "hi Teacher!"  I told them, "oh! I am taking a rest boys, why are you here?"  They both said, "we just dropped by Teacher to say hi!" "So what are you doing?" one boy asked?  "I am writing the grades on the report card."  I asked them, "so what about you both, did you pass for the next grade?"  One boy said. "only him," pointing the other boy, "but I didn't."  "Oh, I see, you were always absent in the class that is why.  May I ask why you were always absent?"  "Teacher, my aunt always tells me to be absent. Whenever I dress up for school, she would tell me to look after the internet cafe because no one will watch it. And if I will not watch it, I will not have fare."  "What a stupid reason that is for your aunt to say?" I s
