Kwarta o Pera

Sa wikang Ilokano, kapag walang Pera

"Awan iti Kwarta" Kapag may pera ka

"Ada kwartam" Kwarta,Pera, sa Tagalog

Sa English Money,It's all about Money

Oh Buhay,sadyang ang Pera ay kailangan

Pera para ikaw ay magkaroon ng makakain

Pera para ikaw ay makapag-aral

Dahil kung walang pera walang aral

Pera para ikaw ay magkaroon ng damit

May tatak man o wala Pera ang gamit

Para bihisan ang iyon sarili

Sa kwarta ay ang bibihis ng iyong sarili

Upang magkaroon ng magandang tinitirhan

Limpak na kwarta ang iyong kailangan

Para makaporma,magkaroon ng mga alahas at kotse

Huwag kakalimutang limpak na kwarta para magkaalahas at magkakotse

Sa mundong ating gingalawan malaking bahagi ang Kwarta

Pera ang umiiral at iyan ang pawang katotohanan

Paano ka magkakaroon ng mall,hospital at ibat ibang gusali

Kung ang isang negosyo at gobyerno ay walang salapi

Ang Pera o Kwarta ay maganda at mabuti sa lahat

Kung ikaw ay hindi magiging mukhang kwarta

Kaya may kasabihan"Pera Pera na lang ang labanan"

Ito ang masakit na katotohanan na tila mahirap tanggapin

Sa mundong ating ginagalawan hindi lahat ay may pang-unawa

Mapalad ang tao may pang-unawa at habag sa kapwa

Ngunit tila iilan ang mga taong gaya nila

Dahil karamihan sa tao ay walang awa.

Masakit tangapin pero ito ang katotohan

Kapag wala kang pera,ang pagkakataon ay mailap

Na para tila ang pagkakataon ay hindi mo mahanap

At ang mahirap parang lumalayo sa iyo ang mga magagandang ganap

Masakit isipin na minsan ng dahil sa kawalan ng Pera ay sanhi ng kamatayan

Na minsan mas pinipili ng iba ang kitilin ang sariling buhay

Sa kadahilanang ang kawalan ng pera ay sumisimbolo ng kahihiyan at kahinaan

Na kapag wala kang pera,wala ka ring pagkakakilanlan

Minsan ang pinakamalupit sa lahat

Ay ang taong walang pera tapos biglang nagkapera

Dahil kung minsan sino ang galing sa hirap,sya pa ang tila takot maghirap

At ang kapwa nya mahirap noon at tila sya pa ang nagpapahirap

Ito ang katotohan, na kapag walang wala kang pera o kwarta

Kapag lugmok at lagapak ka, at ang pera ay parang hanging hindi mo mahagilap

Ikay ay biktima ng samot saring pang-aapi,pang-aalipusta at pagpapahirap

Mahirap na ang kalagayan at parang lalo ka pang pinahihirapan

Kasalanan man ng tao o hindi ang dahilan ng kanyang kahirapan at kawalan ng Pera

Kasalanan man nya na sya ay nabigo,bumagsak,nadapa o lumagapak ang kanyang kabuhayan

Ang tangi lamang nyang hiling ay tulong hindi limos para sya ay makabangon

Hindi panglalait,pang-aalipusta at paninira ang iyong ibigay kung hindi pang-unawa

Ang magkaroon ng maraming Pera o kayamanan ay hindi masama

Ngunit kung ito ay inyo ng iniibig at sinasamba

Matakot ka dahil wala kang patutunguhan

Dahil wala pang pumanaw na bitbit ang kanyang buong kayamanan

When life is not under in your control?

What will you do if your life is not under in your control?
Sometimes peoples say I can do everything especially if you have a good background in life, have a good educational background, have rich parents to support you, have lots of achievement in life, have a good reputation in society, have a well-known name. But I think all of that is useless and nothing when all things in your life are lost, when tragedy, trials, and circumstances come into your life then you realize that your knowledge, skills, and ability are useless.

Even if you can do all of your best but your best is not could not enough to solve your problems and you will realize that there is a power behind who can control everything that happens in this whole world. That there is a sovereign power from the above that the only one who knows everything and knows what will happen to you in the future.

Honestly, life is tough, there are lots of trial and tribulation that we may encounter in this world. As we can observe today what happened to our country regarding the war on drugs; don't you know that most of the people using drugs are problematic and they using drugs just to forget or avoid the reality of life.

Some of them are don't come from a poor family, most of them are professionals, some of them are celebrities and well-known people. Honestly, we want to live in this world but we don't like trials and tribulation. But trials and tribulation are inevitable it is part of our life but the question is how we can face it with strength and courage if things we can't handle in our own power, skills, and ability. If we did our best and our best is not enough.

My dear reader, I know what I am saying in this blog because I'm already experiencing it now, but don't worry there is a solution how we can face life even it is not under our control.

The best thing that we can do now is humble our self and ask help. Yes! my dear reader, it is not shameful to ask for HELP.

But in my own experience, I will give you the real meaning of HELP.

H-HUMILITY, Let us humble our self before God, let us seek God's face, let us repent of our being proud, arrogant, and prideful. Let us accept that there is a power above who can control everything that we are nothing because apart from him we can do nothing.

E-ENDURANCE, Trials, and tribulation are part of life let us face our trials don't run from it, take the responsibilities and accept whatever the circumstances. We need this because we need to test our character because I believe God allowed our problems for our own good if we can respond in a right way.

James 1:2-5New International Version (NIV)
Trials and Temptations
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

L- LOVE GOD, One of the main reason why God allows trials and tribulation because God wants to inform us what is really matters in this world, What is the purpose of our lives and how we can have a meaningful life? This is the time to put all out our trust in God with all our heart and understanding.
 
1 John 2: 15-17 New International Version (NIV)
15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father[d] is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from
the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

P-PRAY, Prayer is the only way to communicate with God, this is the only way to talk to God, to cast all our burdens, anxiety, worry, and fear. Prayer is the most powerful weapon how we can face all our trials in this world. Don't stop praying until the Lord answer our petition

Colossians 4:2New International Version (NIV)
2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.

Philippians 4:6New International Version (NIV)
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

My dearest reader, Psalm 121:1-2 said 

" 1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—

    where does my help come from?

2 My help comes from the Lord,

    the Maker of heaven and earth."

Reaching Forward "Magpatuloy ka lang"

Kagabi (February 14,2017) dahil mahirap sumakay,mahaba ang pila ng sakayan ng FX,puno ang mga jeep at walang maparang mga taxi papuntang Tiendisitas. Nagdecision ako maglakad mula Shaw Blvd Shangrila Mall hanggang Tiendisitas Ortigas. Sa aking paglalakad nakaramdam ako ng pagod at sakit ng paa,kasama na ang pagkainis at pagkbwisit sa buhay kaya lang kailangan kong makarating sa aking patutunguhan.

Sa aking paglalakad napagtanto ko na ang pangarap ay isang paglalakbay minsan napapagod ka na para abutin ang pangarap,minsan sumusuko ka na na para bang tila sinasabi mo sa sarili mo ayaw mo na. "Ayoko na" "Pagod na ako" "Bakit walang nangyayari" ngunit sa kabila ng lahat hindi mo na pwedeng irewind or hindi ka na pwedeng bumalik kung saan ka galing,bagkus magpapatuloy ka na lang doon sa pangarap na nais mong maabot

In my personal life, I have lots of failure and mistake, there are times that I blame myself for all the trials and failure that happen in my life. There are times that I get anger and blame God for what happen to me but that is a sin.

But I realize we need to forget the past.We don't measure our life for our past success,achievement or for our failure. What past is past and we don't need to dwell on it. We need to look forward and reaching forward to our goals and purpose in life.

Kailangan lang tayong magpatuloy sa buhay at abutin ang ating mga pangarap despite af all odds.
We need to expect that great things happen to us,we need to expect that God have a greater plan in our life.

Philippians 3:13New King James Version (NKJV)

13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,

Lakad Lang hanggang makarating ka sa iyong patutunguhan
