We All Bleed RED: Time to Get Rid of the Fil-What Nonsense
We All Bleed RED: Time to Get Rid of the Fil-What Nonsense:
2012 Moira G Gallaga©
(*Title – “We All Bleed Red” is the title of a Ronnie Dunn song)
During a conversation between my husband and I about the latest developments regarding the Azkals, he brought up an issue that went on for a bit a few months back regarding local based and foreign based Azkals. Apparently, there are some people who take issue with the foreign based Azkals. Terms such as pure blood or half-Filipino were being used. From what I understand, some people don’t consider or view our foreign based Azkals as 100% Filipino. I was pretty surprised and disturbed to hear that as I’ve always had the impression that someone’s ethnic background is no longer an issue these days.

Someone Taking Your Love For Granted
You are not a boomerang and should not be bouncing back to someone taking your love for granted. This should be the feeling and understanding people have so that they are not continuously taken advantage of and basically taken for granted. When a person is put aside or rejected by another they should and must put that relationship to rest and behind them and move forward. It may take some time but there will be someone else coming in the future and that someone is going to be the one that truly cares and wants to make one's life one that will be filled with love and great joy. Everyone deserves to be treated with care and respect and if that is not happening in a relationship between two people supposedly in love with each other it might be time to re-examine things and move on.
The fact of the matter is that every individual is truly special and anyone who cannot see that and understand it is probably not the type of person another will want to be around for long. Life is a special gift and sharing it with someone that can be loved and appreciated is truly a blessing and never anything to be taken for granted. Everyone deserves the right to be totally happy and to feel special.

After Sendong, 10 things we must do - Rappler
This is a very excellent list of things that need to be done. What is unfortunate though is that a lot of your recommendations are things we all know about for some time now and should have been implemented a while back by concerned agencies and officials. The lack of political will is a crucial element lacking in this matter. With all the natural disasters that have befallen the Philippines in recent years, it appears we continually fail to learn our lessons and keep repeating mistakes or ignoring things that need to be done, such as your recommendations. Climate change is indeed a game changer and is going to make this issue a lot more challenging in the years to come, yet climate change is nothing new. It has been a global issue for more than 5 years now. It is good that you bring this all up again, there is no harm in constantly reminding ourselves of what needs to get done.

Living in the Past, Limit your Future
It is
important not to let living in the past limit your future. Retroactive
existence can significantly retard future progress and dampen your outlook by
blinding you to all of life's opportunities. Do not narrow future horizons by
letting the demons of your past haunt your present. Avoid dwelling on past
mistakes and regrettable decisions that can prevent you from being the best
person you can possibly become.
Instead, adopt an attitude of determination to turn today's stumbling blocks into the foundations of a solid tomorrow. Better visualization of ever-widening doors on a brighter future requires increasing blindness to those that have firmly shut behind us. Although change can be somewhat frightening, we should never let irrational fear stand in the way of future growth. Instead of struggling to keep a tight grip on what has already happened, we must struggle to relinquish destructive links to past mistakes.
