The Little Giant - LG

It’s been two years it@coops culminated 100 days training participated with Thailand, Indonesia and Philippines.   Promotions to replicate the skills and knowledge acquired with the IT Specialist.

When we first organized training the impressions of the co-op managers is that, their staff knows already about Microsoft Office Operations and other computer applications.  We were able to have first training in the North Luzon on Microsoft Office Excel.  One General Manager sent her staff to the training and re-echo of what she had learned, she commented that she regretted for not attended herself on the training. From then on when we invite their co-ops for it@coops training she always send 2 or 3 participants.

It@coops dreams take a big lift and have come to reality.  As of today a lot of managers and Board of Directors are requesting to conduct it@coops training in their respective cooperative.  We are looking forward for next years plans and strategies to share the skills and knowledge imparted to us as IT Specialist.

        I have 4 years old niece, who always disturbs me when am working on my computer; she holds the mouse, press the keyboard and even the power button.   What I did was to give her a time for herself to play on the computer.  I taught her in paint and draw in it, when am home she always ask me that she will draw in the PC and we taught here determining the letters on the keys.  To my surprised when I went home from manila, she already knows how to start the computer and log-in her password and shutdown and she knows to play her puzzle game.

        It’s a big challenge to all of us IT specialists “we can do it”, with due respect of Cong. Guillermo Cua said ARISE, I may translate it Achieve, Regional, IT@coops, Soar for Excellence.

                Thank you very AWCF, Invent Germany, One World, NATCCO, C.U.L.T., FORMASI and to the co-operatives who have full support with this endeavor you made a great move.

I thought it would be an end
I thought the world is over
I thought I’ll be lost from the sight of my love one’s
I thought life is just once

My family shouted and shed tears for me
My heart stopped pumping gently
I thought I gonna rest already
‘Till I forgot the world immediately

But I was thinking foolishly
I realized how much life meant to me
How precious it would be
I thank God sincerely

For He extended my life instantly
I know He has a purpose for me
And I’ll work on it wisely
For I already know God is always with me

I almost want to quit
But I said to myself, never quit
Until my hear back in strong beat
And I’m gonna use my time so great.

Moment of my greatest mess in life
Fighting against all odds mo matter what it takes me
The more the pain endures another pain; troublesome life takes its place
No focus and clear destinations of my pursuit;
Revenge kept on clinging every now and then

Those envies overtook the love and affections
After a long time wounds had to be healed
My desires and longing is to give all the happiness;
Every time when I was the most wanted to be around
When my precious treasures are asked
All had been shared, served and sacrificed
Things had been forgotten and vanished away

My stubborn heart and foolish mind made me meaningless
My guardian angels kept on pounding me all are accounted for
Time passes by and my greatest illusions came to reality
Those darkest useless moments are now light that is bearable
My world colors more than the beauty of the perfect rainbow
Many things I never seen that the greatest love;
Need to be shared and offer to my greatest parents and family
Who been hurt, offended cause of my capriciousness and egoism

I just want to say sorry all the words that had been spoken
It has been put to into oblivious thoughts
It has been a long, long process; no one had back me up
At the end of the day, I never expected I need to restore my deleted memories
Start with fresh new horizons & visions
All things are perfect in its timing the Lord His greatness prevailed. . .

It was early August 2007 when I received late call from my sister Jene Ann requesting for a prayer for Ptr. Jerome V. Manriquez is admitted in hospital and in critical condition at Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and last August 20, 2007 I received a text from Diane my friend Shayne Cloie is admitted also in the Heart Center the same condition they both suffer heart problem. Those incidents crumpled my heart in deep sorrows knowing them they suffer so much struggling taking their breath. Two lives at stake with those gadgets installed to their bodies.

Since I could not do anything but to cry out the Lord, it’s not yet their time. And it seems I could not accept it. Faith and strong feelings that the Lord is listening, prayer request was sent to the Prayer Warriors and Intercessors all throughout the country to intercede before God for the two beings whose life is in the Valley of Death. They had been discharged from the hospital knowing that they are well enough but just in few days their heart illness strikes them again and back to the hospital. Interceding to the Lord, for He is the great Doctor, the mighty Physician and the powerful Healer of all. A miracle happens day after day in our lives, Ptr. Jeng Manriquez and Shayne Cloie were both out from the hospital rejoicing in God’s intervening miracles in the lives not just to them but to the brothers and sisters who interceded and prayed.

I was able to attend Ptr. Jeng’s 45th birthday Last August 10, 2007 he shared his testimony during his struggles; he dreamed that he is in journey in a very dark place walking through a path leading to a very tiny light, as he continue to move forward somebody pulled him back and he was awaken. He was inspired and fought to get well when he knew a lot of brothers and sister praying for him. Shayne Cloie celebrated her victory over death. Her family so glad that she revived with her health she extends her appreciation to everybody who cared in praying for her, I caught her text message “Touched! Please extend my trillions of thanks, thank you to them; thanks could not be enough to appreciate their concern”.

The Lord promised us wherever we are, whatever we do, even we walk to the Shadow and the Valley of death he is there for us and let us not be afraid for he is with us and he is in us. Victorious battle for the two Children of the Lord, all glory, praise and honor belongs to Him. Death has been defeated! Let’s be sure that Christ is in our lives to conquer the spiritual death that we will see each other for eternity.

"Follow your heart and may all your dreams and wishes come true." Live life as you want it to be, full of love, and you will become happy.

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said I love you but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.

The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.

That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.

"What’s wrong, are you well," she asked? My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.

"I thought that it would be pleasant to be with you," I responded. "Just the two of us."

She thought about it for a moment, and then said, "I would like that very much."

That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.

She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel’s.

"I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed, "she said, as she got into the car. "They can’t wait to hear about our meeting". We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips

"It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small," she said.

"Then it’s time that you relax and let me return the favor," I responded.

During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation - nothing extraordinary, but catching up on recent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie.

As we arrived at her house later, she said, "I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you." I agreed.

"How was your dinner date?" asked my wife when I got home. "Very nice. Much more so than I could have imagined," I answered.

A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I did to not get to do anything for her.

Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined.

An attached note said: "I paid this bill in advance. I wasn’t sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son."

At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: "I LOVE YOU!" and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than God and your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till "some other time."

Pass this along to everyone with an aging parent, to a child, to an adult, to anyone with a parent.

"Please do not take people you LOVE for Granted" .. it is said that people we love the most .. we hurt the most. Lets change this. NOW.

Here’s wishing your today is better than yesterday and tomorrow.

Wish you all the Love.

"…those who have hurt you in the past cannot continue to hurt you now - unless you hold on to the pain through resentment… Your past is past, nothing will change it… You are only hurting yourself with your bitterness.. For your own sake, learn from it and then let it go.

Don’t feel sorry when love passes by, because there will be a lot more to come.  Love is not once in a lifetime - it comes around where it’s wanted.
