Liezl's Den

Ang tao di nawawalan ng hinaing sa buhay, katulad na lamang ni misis no. 1 walang katapusang himutok at reklamo sa kanyang asawa. Marami daw syang gustong gawin sa buhay nya kaso di nya magawa dahil ang gusto daw ni mister dapat unahin nya ang kanyang pamilya. samantala, ang gusto naman ni misis na unahin ang kanyang karer sa buhay kaya kahit anong luho ang gusto nya binibigay na lang daw sa kanya ni mister para manahimik lamang sya.

Minsan ang tao hindi nag-iisip, hindi makuntento muna kung ano meron sya. Kung tutuusin hindi mahahanap ng mister nya ang sahod na tinatamasa nila dito sa abroad kumpara sa Pinas kahit hindi mataas ang posisyon ng kanyang asawa sa kompanyang pinapasukan. Pero mas gusto pa ni misis na umuwi na lang daw silang mag-anak sa Pinas kung hindi man lang mapropromote si mister. Dapat isipin na lang nila na mas magiging maayos at makaka-ipon sila ng sapat na pera dito kumpara sa Pinas.

Tama din naman ang kanyang mister na dapat unahin nya ang kanyang pamilya kasi maliliit pa ang kanilang mga anak. Sabagay, kanya-kanyang diskarte yan sa buhay.

Si misis no. 2 naman gustong ipalaglag ang kanyang pinagbubuntis kasi ayaw nyang magkabeybi ulit kaso gusto ng mister nya maraming anak. Mas gusto pa nyang magtrabaho kesa manatili sa bahay. Syempre wala na syang pandagdag pambili ng mga abubot at anik-anik nya kaya dapat nag-iingat sana sya na hindi mabuntis. Ayaw nya non, mas marami syang mapagtsi-tsismisan kasi nasa bahay lang sya at likas naman syang tsismosa.

Si misis no. 3 dalawang beses ng nagpalaglag kasi di na nya makakayanan daw pa pagnagbuntis naman sya ulit kawawa daw ang kanyang mga anak na maliliit pa. Bakit ba ganito? Ang lupit naman, gagawa-gawa tapos di papanagutan. May iba nga dyan na hindi nagkaka-anak at gustong magka-anak pero walang dumadating ni isa at eto naman ang iba pinapalaglag lang.

Misis no. 4 at no. 5, sila ang mga taong walang katapusan at walang kasawa-sawang nakiki-alam sa buhay ng mga may buhay. Paborito nilang pag-usapan ang buhay ng ibang mga tao, kaibigan man o hindi at mas matindi kung kaaway.

Wala na bang ibang magawa dito sa mundong ito?

Tumatanda ka na, tol.

Nasa Friday Magic Madness na yung mga paborito mong kanta.

Nakaka-relate ka na sa Classic MTV.

Lesbiana na yung kinaaaliwan mong child star dati. Nanay na lagi ang role ng crush na crush mong matinee idol noon.

Dati, pag may panot, sisigaw ka agad ng "PENDONG!". Ngayon, pag may sumisigaw nun, ikaw na yung napapraning.

Parang botika na ang cabinet mo. May multivitamins, vitamin E, vitamin C, royal jelly, tsaka ginko biloba.

Dati, laging may inuman. Sa inuman, may lechon, sisig, kaldereta, inihaw na liempo, pusit, at kung anu-ano pa. Ngayon, nagkukumpulan na lang kayo ng mga kasama mo sa Starbucks at oorder ng tea.

Wala na ang mga kaibigan mo noon.

Ang dating masasayang tawanan ng barkada sa canteen, napalitan na ng walang katapusang pagrereklamo tungkol sa kumpanya ninyo. Wala na ang best friend mo na lagi mong pinupuntahan kapag may problema ka. Ang lagi mo na lang kausap ngayon e ang kaopisina mong hindi ka sigurado kung binebenta ka sa iba pag nakatalikod ka. Ang hirap nang magtiwala.

Mahirap nang makahanap ng totoong kaibigan. Hindi mo kayang pagkatiwalaan ang kasama mo araw-araw sa opisina. Kung sabagay, nagkakilala lang kayo dahil gusto ninyong kumita ng pera at umakyat sa tinatawag nilang "corporate ladder". Anumang pagkakaibigang umusbong galing sa pera at ambisyon ay hindi talaga totoong pagkakaibigan. Pera din at ambisyon ang sisira sa inyong dalawa.

Pera. Pera na ang nagpapatakbo ng buhay mo.

Alipin ka na ng Meralco, PLDT, SkyCable, Globe, Smart, at Sun. Alipin ka ng Midnight Madness. Alipin ka ng tollgate sa expressway. Alipin ka ng credit card mo. Alipin ka ng ATM. Alipin ka ng BIR.

Dati-rati masaya ka na sa isang platong instant pancit canton. Ngayon, dapat may kasamang italian chicken ang fettucine alfredo mo. Masaya ka na noon pag nakakapag-ober-da-bakod kayo para makapagswimming. Ngayon, ayaw mong lumangoy kung hindi Boracay o Puerto Galera ang lugar. Dati, sulit na sulit na sa yo ang gin pomelo. Ngayon, pagkatapos ng ilang bote ng red wine, maghahanap ka ng San Mig Light.

Wala ka nang magawa. Sumasabay ang lifestyle mo sa income mo. Nagtataka ka kung bakit hindi ka pa rin nakakaipon kahit tumataas ang sweldo mo. Yung mga bagay na gusto mong bilhin dati na sinasabi mong hindi mo kailangan, abot-kamay mo na. Pero kahit nasa iyo na ang mga gusto mong bilhin, hindi ka pa rin makuntento.

Saan ka ba papunta?

Tol, gumising ka. Hindi ka nabuhay sa mundong ito para maging isa lang sa mga baterya ng mga machines sa Matrix.Hanapin mo ang dahilan kung bakit nilagay ka rito. Kung ang buhay mo ngayon ay uulit-ulit lang hanggang maging singkwenta anyos ka na, magsisisi ka. Lumingon ka kung paano ka nagsimula, isipin ang mga tao at mga bagay na nagpasaya sa yo.

Ikaw ang nagbago, hindi ang mundo.

Friendship is a Gift that nothing in this world could compare, not even a treasure of wealth.

Friendship is not measured on earthly gifts you have given to her, but it’s measured on the depth of trust, honesty, loyalty and understanding you can give or offer.

It doesn’t mean that when you give, one should reciprocate what you have given… When you give, you give it with your heart…you don’t expect that something will be given back to you.

Friendship should not be on the grounds of financial or monetary accessibility. Remember that money is the route to eternal damnation!

Friendship doesn’t mean hurting each other ‘coz the event didn’t turned out the way you want it to be. When you don’t want something from her be it simple to some delicately complicated thing go straight and talk to her in a right manner. Friendship doesn’t mean that you’ll backstab her with all your meanness and irrationalities or illogicalness…

All of us are human beings… and all of us have or had shortcomings in our lives be it a normal problem or a nerve wracking, painstaking, head spinning one. And we are here as friends to help each other and not to make things worse.

Don’t judge all the people around you! Check first yourself, meditate on your life… is your conscience clear from impurities of life? Or is it as muddy as most of the other human beings too! Before you point your accusing fingers on others see first yourself in a mirror and direct your attention to yourself.

Friendship doesn’t accept a blockage on from what race, religion or social status you came from. It is the true acid test of friendship. Stop being so righteous…’coz everyone has its own dilemma to face and combat.

Friendship also means being true to your friend and not talking about her in her back. Gossiping and envy are very much related. It’s like sisters in crime. Remember envy will destroy you as you destroy others.

One should not be so envious of the other ‘coz that’s the time that one will compare herself to the other to the point of losing the essence of what friendship should be. If your friend found a good life be thankful for her that she has such blessing. Don’t whine with the inadequacies of your life, the grace from Daddy GOD is so abundant that HE doesn’t want to spare anybody from it.

Don’t count the material things that you have. And don’t ever compare it to others especially to your friend, ‘coz from it, sometimes you will see that she has more or less than what you possess.

The true meaning of friendship sprouts from your adherence to some religious moralities and philosophies. And your Christianity shows on how you treat your friends…

The manifestations of being a Christian doesn’t mean only reciting those prayers and going to a Sunday mass, but its true implication in the inculcation in mind and deed of the Christian obligation in your e everyday life here on earth. It’s on the matter of application of what you’ve learned about being a Christian.

Friendship means helping each other not only in times of strife and sorrow but also in some nitty gritty things. You have two hands, one is for helping others and the other is for yourself.

Good friendship stands out even from the murkiest water. It will soar in the skies with all the good intentions. Being a good friend is not very hard to fulfill, one needs only a pure heart. But, I think it needs self-rectification to achieve one.

Respect others. Friendship should be accompanied with respect without it friendship will not survive. Respect others and they will also return your respect to them. Think of what you want to talk to others if its implication would be for better and not for worst outcome. But here in this place others love to backstab than to offer a pure friendship. Gossiping is just like a cookies ‘n cream flavored ice cream. They don’t feel ashamed of themselves if they do it coz almost all are doing it.

People who belong to that specie are the lowest level of mankind here on earth. Their brains are only capable of processing that kind of nonsense ness…

Analyze this…meditate on what you’ve been doing to your “friends” and to others. Do you deserve to be called a friend? Are you not ashamed of your mistreatment to others? Don’t camouflage yourself with the color of friendship; better show your true self! It doesn’t make sense at all!!! You are liken to a beast with seven swaggering tongues and a tail that you use like your microphone.

It’s better to be alone and not to harm others than with the crowd and be nasty to others. Don’t be a traitor, be a true friend!

And one thing I want to point out is that maturity on friendship doesn’t correlate with a person’s age. As a person grows she or he becomes more adept with the tricks of life. It’s better to have young or a baby for a friend. Their brains are still pure like white cloth.

So far, here in Doha, you can’t easily find the true meaning of friendship. Usually it’s accompanied with greed, envy, wrath, and damnation… especially if you will not lend money and other material things.

Luckily, I found but only few!

Maybe, there’s still there outside my world of interaction…

Can't tell when life would end but i know that it has already started. Life depends on how one would view its beauty and negativities. Sometimes it's full of good things while on the other hand sometimes, it has some twist that most often than not life is accompanied of not quite pretty things. However, be it on its brighter or darker side one has to make it to the fullest while you may, who knows its nearing to its end. you have to value each moment and be happy of what you have and what you don't have. completeness only comes upon the realization of the things that you are showered with and the things that you are not having. It's on the feeling of contentment that matters, no matter how many of good things you have if you are not contented then it's just useless.

Just some thoughts on friendship, I have only a small circle of friends whom I can say that they are my true friends, they are the one that through ups and downs, through thick and thin, and in every downpour and sunshine in my life we’ve bonded and stick on together as we traverse each life even though each of us are in different places.

There are also those kinds of people who claim to be my friends who are fond of bad mouthing other friends, so what would keep them from saying bad things also when you turn your back on them? It’s their heart’s delight to speak of someone whom they find so amusing or simply they just envy. Where can I find the true meaning of friendship in their actions?

It’s not that I’m being so righteous but I just hate those kinds of people.

I don’t hold onto false friends, the moment that I know that I’m putting myself into a trap of unworthy friends I would at once hold myself and detract from being caught into the web. There are those who are very nice in front of you but when you turn your back they’ll tell another side of story about you. Some of them are so very articulate not to be the subject in every gathering but they tend to be the worst buttinsky, yenta or kibitzers. For me, ok, I’ll be nice to these kinds of people but don’t expect from me that I’ll treat you more than a mere acquaintance.

Happy Birthday my love!!! Last Friday we had a small party for my hubby, some selected Filipino families in his company came with some food. I know they quite understand that I’m in my second trimester and I can’t cook and prepare lots of foods.

I managed to make leche flan and fruit salad for dessert and cooked prawns with chili and garlic while the birthday celebrant made beef caldereta. So far, the little party went well. All the best for you my dear…we love you very much!!!

How time flies and sometimes when friends asked me how long we’ve been married (S and I) I sometimes can’t give the exact answer in an instant, I told my friend to wait for a few seconds ( we we’re chatting) as I checked our marriage certificate. We are nearing our third year this coming 8th of October; and we are blessed with an intelligent toddler (P) and another one is coming after two more months...
