Boy and Tree

Sometimes we carelessly forget somebody who is very important to us, simply because a lot of things outdoor that gives us happiness, and we forget the limit of satisfaction in this stage of our life until we realize that there is no one could make us feel the real peace in our heart and mind.

Feel the lessons of life in this shared short story from anonymous friend.


Boy and Tree



There was one time a very young boy, who used to spend time playing by a tree.

One day he got bored and he said to the tree, "I'm bored, I've played with these toys too many times!"

The tree replied, "OK, you can climb up on me and play on my branches."

The boy got really happy with this suggestion and he had a lot of fun playing and sitting high up, on the branches of the tree.

When he started school, he spent more time away from the tree, but one day he came back to it, and the tree was overjoyed to see its young companion, and it encouraged him to climb on, but he refused.

"My clothes are going to get dirty if I climb up on you."So the tree thought for a while, and said, "OK, bring a rope and tie it to me, and you can use my branches as a swing."

The boy liked that idea, so he did that too, and would come back every other day to sit for a while on that swing.

Whenever he used to get hot, the tree told him to rest in its shade.

As he got older, and moved on to college, times became harder on him and he ran short of food, so he went back to the tree which he had stopped visiting for a long time.

The tree recognised him immediately and welcomed him, but he was hungry and complained to the tree, "I don't have any food to eat, my stomach is cringing with hunger."

So the tree said, "Pull down my branches and take off the fruit, and fill yourself up."

The young guy didn't even hesitate, but jumped up and tore off one of the smaller branches and ate to his fill.

Over the weeks, he tore off all the branches and ate all the fruit.

After the fruits had all gone, he went away and didn't come back to the tree.

When he reached his middle ages, he came back to the tree and said to it, "I have been very successful in life.

I have earned a lot of money, I have a huge house and I have found a great wife.

Now I want to travel and see the world."

The tree was now very old, but to help its long time companion, it didn't wait, and said, "Bring a saw, cut off my trunk and make a boat. Then you will see the wonders of the world."

So again, without hesitation the man cut down the tree.

The same tree which he had played on, ate its fruit, laid in its shade; he cut it down and made a boat.

As soon as it was finished, he sailed away and wasn't seen by his people again.

One day, an old man, walked past the tree.

It hadnt recovered from the time he had cut it down. He went up to the tree, but didn't say anything.

He felt the tears coming down from his eyes.

This time the tree spoke in a faint voice, "I'm sorry. I don't have a trunk for you to climb, nor fruit for you to eat, nor branches of shade for you to lie in. All I have now are my deep roots."

The old man whispered, "That's fine. Tree roots are the best place to lie down, snuggle up and sleep after a long life."

The tree symbolizes our parents, and the boy symbolizes us.

The moral of the story is that we make use of our parents like tissue, and use them all up, and don't even give thanks, but they stay with us till the very end.

Welcome "Hirit" sa Year 2009

Ano ga? Welcome sa Year 2009

Bang! Boomm! Parakatakatakatakatak! Whisssttt…boom!

Yan ang mga sounds na kadalasang maririnig mo pagsapit ng hatinggabi sa pagpapalit ng taon sa tatlong sulok ng Pilipinas at sa ibang dako.

Nagdiriwang ang lahat ng tao, magkakaiba man ng relihiyon, upang salubungin ang pagpasok ng panibagong taon.

Welcome sa inyong lahat. At sana ay palarin tayo ng suwerte at maayos na pamumuhay sa taong 2009 kahit na alam natin at ramdam natin ang patuloy na paglaganap ng crisis sa ating mahal na Inang Bayan.

Pero sa kabila nun, patuloy din tayong nakikipaglaban sa sandamukal na problema ng ating pamayanan.

Problema sa ekonomiya.
Problema sa industriya.
Problema sa pinansiyal.
Problema sa transportasyon.
Problema sa edukasyon.
Problema sa komunidad.
Problema sa politika.
Problema sa pamilya.
Problema sa trabaho.
Problema sa kalusugan.
Problema sa palaruan.
Problema sa…sa…hay nakupo! Ang daming problema. Kaya ba nating labanan ang mga ito?

Palagay ko, HINDI, tanong ko sagot ko rin hehehe, I mean is kaya nating lutasin ang mga ‘yan KUNG meron tayo nito: ANO?

DISIPLINA. DISIPLINA. DISIPLINA. DISIPLINA. DISIPLINA. DISIPLINA.

And above that, wala na, yun lang ang matibay na solusyon. (sa aking palagay lang ‘to, pero kung meron pa kayong ibang palagay e, sana explore n’yo rin)

I still remember, at malinaw na malinaw pa sa aking balintataw (wow, lalim nun ah), alam ko kung saan ko lang nakikita ang salitang DISIPLINA. Hindi ko nakikita sa labas ng bahay kundi sa isang lugar lang na kung pansinin-dili “natin”.

Nung elementarya pa ako, madalas pinababasa sa amin ng teacher ang mga letrang
“DISIPLINA ANG KAILANGAN UPANG UMUNLAD ANG ATING BAYAN”.

Malinaw na nakatitik sa isang buong cartolina na may disenyo pa, naka-post doon sa itaas ng blackboard. Tanda ko’y si Dr. Jose Rizal ang author ng mga linyang ‘yan. Saka noon din, nakapaskil ‘yan sa harap ng daanan ng mga tao sa bayan namin. Andun pa kaya ‘yun?

“Ay awan nga laan at baka iyo’y naitumba na ng bagyo, hane.” Ngeek!

Hanep mga bros, tapon dito tapon doon, pila hindi barikada, nakapula na ang traffic light go pa rin, tumatawid kahit bawal tawiran. In short, alam nang MALI e ginagawa pa ring TAMA.

Tabi-tabi po, opinion ko lang po ang mga ito, bahala na po kayong umunawa sa mga titik na binabasa n’yo. Kase naman po kung magsisigaw ako sa kalsada para ipaliwanag ang salitang DISIPLINA e, baka naman pagkamalan na “crazy” ako. Kaya mas mainam nang magsisigaw ako dito sa site ko at least computer ko lang ang nakikinig sa akin. Hindi lang basta niya binabasa, ina-upload pa niya sa internet.

Hi hi hi hi hi hi…!

Sarap tumawa pag may freedom ka sa pagsasalita este! Pagsusulat pala.

Salamat sa pagkakaroon ng computer, ng internet, ng website na libre at least may freedom kang mailabas lahat ng mga ideya, opinion at emosyon. Di ko na kelangan umakyat sa bubong ng bahay namin para lang sumigaw ng…

“WAAAAAAAAHHHHHH…!!!!”

Hey, wait! Ano na ba ang topic ko? Layo na nito sa title ng blog ko. Gusto ko lang batiin kayo ng Maunlad at Manigong Bagong Taon, saka batiin ko yung family ko sa Real, Quezon, mga kaibigan ko doon sina Ohnad at Cecil, Benjie, grupo nina Embudz at Arnel, mga kainuman ko sa Hurnalan, kamag-anak ko dun, sina Engel sa Pasig, sina Cherrie sa Cavite, sina Dory sa Canada, kapatid ko sa Bulacan, Laguna at Bicutan,
Hey! Kayo dyaan, malapit na ako umuwi sa atin!!

Balik tayo sa New Year, sayang di ko masyado na-enjoy ang pagpapalit ng taon, may trabaho kase ako. Pero nagsalu-salo rin kami ng mga kababayan ko rito, may pasingaw kami, pansit (prosperity daw yun) mga prutas na bilog, bilo-bilo, at mga prutas na bilog! Tapos nun e ala na tulog na kami.

Dial dito, dial dyan, unfortunately wala akong natawagan sa pinas para bumati, busy daw ang line ng mga network. Gusto ko sana maka-update ng mga kaganapan sa atin, mostly nung New Year’s eve pero sorry na lang wala me nagawa. Tidur lah.

Ok, next time ulit magpangita sa site ko, may wish nga pala ako, gusto n’yo malama?

Eto, sana pag nagbakasyon ako sa Pinas e, makakita ako ng kahit konting DISIPLINA.

“hehehehe”, humirit pa!!

See Ya!!

Computer Care Tips: Maintenance Your Computer

With the amount of information available for download on the Internet, it’s easy to quickly fill up your valuable hard drive space and turn your computer into a sluggish, unresponsive monster. Keeping your hard drive clean is essential to the high performance that the latest computers can achieve. Fortunately, it’s a simple process; one that can easily be performed on a regular basis and, with some organization, keep your computer running like a well-oiled machine.
You can discover how much hard drive space is available on your computer by accessing the DriveSpace program in your System Tools. A pie graph will show you the amount of used and unused space for each of your drives. Check this often to keep an idea of how much space you are using.There are six simple steps to clearing up your hard drive:1. Uninstall unused programs.Many times a new program will come along that looks fun to have or play with, but after a week or two you simply stop using it. These programs clutter up your drive and take up valuable space. You might be tempted to delete these programs from your drive, but doing so will cause problems. You must use the uninstall function of Windows for the program to be removed safely and completely.2. Clean out temporary files.When your computer is not shut down properly, it will pass information from memory into fragmented files. Also, while you are running programs, your computer will write information that it does not immediately need into temporary files. Installation files will also expand themselves into the temporary folder and will not always clean up after themselves. You can delete these temporary files safely by using the Disk Cleanup option in your System Tools.3. Empty your Internet cache.As you surf the Internet your computer stores web pages and images into a temporary Internet cache so that it can quickly recall and access information when you move back and forth between pages. This backup information can quickly add up and eat hard drive space.Whether you use Internet Explorer, Netscape, or one of the many other browsers available, emptying out your cache is quick and easy. Simply follow the instructions in the Help files located within those programs. You may also wish to set a specific maximum file size for your cache folder, so that it is not allowed to run rampant.4. Empty your mail programs of clutter.It’s easy to browse through your email and leave old messages there, promising yourself you’ll sort them out later. One or two messages don’t take up much space, but hundreds certainly do. Take the time to sort through these old emails now and delete what is not important. Create folders and organize what is left. Make it a habit that when new emails come in, they are either filed immediately or thrown away. Set your email program to empty your deleted items folder each time you close your mail program.5. Empty your recycle bin.Once you’ve emptied your drive of cluttering, unnecessary programs; empty your recycle bin to remove what has been placed there in the process.6. Scandisk and Defrag.When Windows installs programs, it will put the files it needs anywhere that it finds free space, and not directly after the last program installed. As a result, your hard drive has patches of empty space on it that are not big enough to fit a full program, and will result in a drive space error if you attempt to install something new. Scandisk your drive to check for lost file fragments and to fix any errors it finds, then Defrag to pack all of the program files together at the beginning of your drive. This will clear out those empty patches and move all of the free space you’ve just created to the end of your drive.Now that you’ve got it clean, keep it that way. Perform this quick maintenance routine every week. For your work computer, Friday afternoon before you leave for the weekend is the perfect time. When you return to work on Monday, you’ll have a computer that is clutter-free and as responsive as it should be.Organize your surfing habits. Direct all of your downloads to the same folder, so that you can easily find them and delete them when necessary, or move them to zip disks for storage. Keep track of the programs that you install. For trial versions, note the date that they will expire on a calendar. This will remind you to uninstall the programs that you can no longer use rather than allowing them to clutter up your drive. Also, if you run into problems, keeping track of new downloaded and installed programs and the date they were installed can help you track down the cause of problems.Remember that the cleaner your hard drive is, the better your machine will respond! In order for your computer to be user friendly, it must have a friendly user. Be your computer’s best friend and clean out the cobwebs regularly.
