If You Are An Eagle, Don’t Hang With Chicken

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

Lelet a non-blogger, newly met friend (internet) of mine left this as comment on my other site. I thought of publishing this here on Lukaret because I find her message really encouraging. And I also would like to share this to some friends in real life na ‘medyo’ nagulat or puzzled sa aking pagbabago.

Hello Beng,
I’m Glad to met you here..the other side of you. parang abot kamay ko lang ang Germany thru reading your site though parang nasa Butuan din ako…hihihi…Though I don’t know you much but for sure buotan ka day thru what i read in this pages. What more can I say…ayu-ayo din ha!

May this encourage you:

If there are people in your life that continually disappoint you, break promises, and stomp on your dreams, too judgmental, have different values and don’t have your back during difficult times…that is not a friend. Sometimes in life as you grow, your friends will either grow or go.

Remember what your elders used to say, “Birds of the same feather flock together.” If you’re an eagle, don’t hang around with chickens: Chickens Can’t Fly!

Take care always
lelet

Now let me relate a bit…

Sometimes in life as you grow, your friends will either grow or go.

There is truth in every word you have in here. I can relate dahil nadaanan ko ito. I grow and changed for the better and some friends are left behind dahil naging magkaiba na ang values namin sa buhay. To me values are those things that really matter to each of us … the ideas and beliefs we hold as special. Caring for others, for example, is a value; so is the freedom to express our opinions.

Speaking of “Freedom to express our opinions.” I would like to share some words of wisdom to some friends (again) who have trouble with accepting critic or opinion. I believe, that a constructive critic is made in order to help a person to become himself or herself into a better person, or, say, to become his or her work into a better one. And I know that criticism, however constructive, can be hard to take. Nonetheless, it’s imperative that you take it well, and even with grace and style. It’s about how you can improve on something, make some thing better. You must understand and accept this if you are to listen to what others have to say with an open mind and heart.

So here we go…
Honesty is a prerequisite to a friendship. There must be a willingness to speak the truth, and a willingness to hear the truth. Friends who do not care enough to confront may save themselves a little awkwardness in the present but will end up losing their friendships in the future.

And as the saying goes…
Remember what your elders used to say, “Birds of the same feather flock together.”

Individuals of like character, taste, or background (tend to stay together). Or People of the same (usually, unscrupulous) character associate with one another, as do birds of the same species. The birds will resort unto their like, so will truth return unto them that practise in her.

I love this part very much!
If you’re an eagle, don’t hang around with chickens. Chickens Can’t Fly!
Hehehe, ganun ba yon? Though, chicken can fly din di ba? Hindi nga lang ganun kataas sa lipad ng agila.

This part actually belongs to the quote Lelet left on my comment box, hindi niya lang ito idinagdag. I found it somewhere else.
Over the years my phone book has changed because I changed for the better. At first you think you’re going to be alone, but after a while new people show up in your life that make your life so much sweeter and easier to endure.

AND IT IS SO TRUE!

Villa De Mercedes, Here I Come

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

Villa de Mercedes entrance (left side).

Entrance (right side)

Guarded Gate

Here I am…

Pose ulit, sorry ginanahan lang. Ngehehe bakit, kayo lang ba ang marunong?

Overlooking Davao Gulf

The club house which is still under construction. Behind the building is Mt. Apo, there’s unfortunately nothing much to see of the majestic slope because it was covered with clouds.

Beyond nature. The country club lifestyle.
Swimming Pool (still under construction), one of the club house facilities.

A myriad of sports and leisure activities will be offered including:

At Villa de Mercedes, the beauty of nature more than just sits as a distant view from your home. It is nature at your very doorstep and the world unfolding before your eyes. The natural terrain of slopes amidst grassy meadows and local flora and fauna, greet you each morning.

The majesty of Mt. Apo bidding you good day as you leave home in the morning, is rivaled only by the calming welcome of Davao Gulf as you drive home at the end of the day.

Combining the best that life has to offer, Villa de Mercedes is situated within Toril at 535 feet above sea level, yet only 30 minutes away from the city. It is a breathtaking residential development nestled atop the hills of Catigan.

How true, how true! We went there this afternoon para matingnan ang site (my first visit since we bought our lot year 2005) at talaga naman pong ako ay nabighani sa kagandahan ng buong paligid. Talo po kamo ang Tagaytay noh? Buti nalang hindi ako nagpadala sa mga paninira ng ibang real estate agents sa Villa de Mercedes, orelse, naibenta ko na ito.

Speaking of real estate agents, super dami nila dito. You can see them in the malls and even in some beaches. Kararating mo palang sasalubungin ka nila ng mga brochures and by the time you stop, you bet they will nail you with all their blahs. Anyways, madalas ko naman silang nalulusutan by telling them na meron na kaming nabili. Pero may mga pagkakataon ding may mga agents akong nakaharap na super kulit at malakas ang loob na siraan ang ibang land developer. Like in my case, some said that Villa de Mercedes is so far away from the city, that the area - (depends on the weather) is stinky due to Nenita Farms at anek-anek pang paninira.

Okay, granted it is a bit far. But what is 30 minutes drive? I’d rather live in a place away from the city, where I can enjoy serenity, fresh air and above all…the beauty of the nature. Sabagay, iba-iba naman ang gusto ng mga tao. Some people love the urban life, hubby and I prefers solitude. Where we still have the freedom to play Tarzan and Jane (hehehe).

O ano, housing lot amidst the nature anyone?

Tierra Maria Estates Scam And Golden Goose Hoax

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Tierra Maria, Tierra Maria Estates Scam, Tierra Maria Hoax, Tierra Maria Scam, Tierra Maria UK Scam Hoax Stories, Hospitals scam.

Intro:
Ayayayayay o pag-ibig. Pag pumusok sa puso ay maligalig…ayayayayay hanggang langit ang pangako ng pusong umiibig. Kaya?

Eh papaano naman kaya ang lalakeng tierra maria UK scam na scammer pa umiibig na hindi lang puso ang nagliligalig kundi pati na ang isip? Ang resulta ay mega ligalig. Katulad ng isang lalakeng tega Great Britain na kuno ay in love sa isa nating kapalda. Siya ay na love at first sight daw nung makita niya si gurl. Pero, may pero ha! Dahil at the same time siya naman ay natatakot na baka ma scam siya nang tierra maria estates at baka daw hindi true ang pinapakitang kabaitan at feeling ng gurl sa kanya. Hindi lang ang gurl ang kanyang pinagdudahan na scammers tierra maria hoax stories kundi pati na ang buong Pilipinas at mamayan.

I sometimes feel ashamed at the respect, near to reverence that I am shown by these sweet people, so beautiful [but I am reminded later - in fact Sir Francis uses these very words - that there are many "snakes" as well.] Me, lurking, trapped behind the disguise of money - courtesy of the exchange rate and appalling standard of living here. The illusion of wealth is all fake - I don’t do anything consciously - it is assumed for me by those who see “foreigner”.

*There are many snakes? Eh what about that snake between your legs?

Heto ha? Natakot siya na baka gawing golden goose ng kanyang girl at pati pamilya nito. Natakot din siya sa mga taong nagmagandang loob sa kanya dahil baka ano ang maging katumbas nito. Jaws ko, pati ang ektopekpek pregnancy ng gurl niya ay scam din daw para sa kanya. Ang hospital na kong saan ipinasok at inoperahan si gurl ay SCAM din daw. Basta puro duda at takot ang inabot niya noong dumalaw siya sa Pilipinas kong mahal ang bigas. Kaya pala maputlang-maputla si Mr. Tim sa piktyurs na inilagay niya sa kanyang blog. ‘kala ko maputla lang talaga ang mga british, yon pala ay dahil sa takoooot. Naku, sobra puti itlog mo Dodong Tim. Image is originally from Jepoy Bengero. You may also visit his site for more stories about Tim da Ingot.

Ay, hindi lang pala siya takot at puno nang duda kundi he blatantly accused all the people he met in the Philippines of conspiring just to extort Php100,000 of money from him. Then he also accused the people who expressed their opinions about his stories as scam supporter. Upps! I’m in danger of being accused. But I don’t care, he can say what ever he wants. Fact is I have more than 100,000 in my pocket (hihihi, nung hindi ko pa ito ginamit).

Hay hano va yan? Mr. Tim, if you are that chickenhearted mabuti pa sa yo ang bumili na lang ng sinigang broth, you katay-katay a chicken and cook some sinigang in your dugout. All your stories are exposed as HOAX, so if I were you…you make think think baga. You certainly have a kuwan…a tuyo sa ulo.

To Mr. Tim Cumper:
You now got the attention, internet wide…so may now rest in peace. You are a disgrace of your race.

To the readers:
Kong hindi niyo pa alam ang buong kuwento tungkol dito. You may find this entry of mine very shallow. Pero, it has something to do with me, lousy author kasi eh. So I advise you to visit the link below to dig in the mud of “Tim’s conspiracy theory”.

A perfect finishing touch for our new home.

Conserve Energy And Save Money

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

A couple of months ago, I wrote something about the economy situation here in Germany, how prices increased and etc. In addition to this topic, an energy multinational company announced a price increase for heating oil and natural gas few days ago. Now what does that mean for us consumers? It simply means higher heating bills, and the cost will hit us right where it hurts, namely in the wallet.

How to keep warm this winter without burning piles of money? We should start by taking a look around our house. Maybe it is time to change the thermostats. What about the windows? Windows play an integral role in creating an energy efficient home. If your old windows have not been properly weatherized, cold air can be sneaky. (more…)
