Just this morning when my family have breakfast we heard from the News about 17 year old boy killing 9 students, 3 teachers and 3 civilians in his former high school in Winnenden, Gemany - before he took his own life. It really scares us and worried for the safety our children especially now. How children at the young age expose to such violence and sometimes at sex. I remember the news last February about a young boy (Alfie Patten) became a father at the age of 13. Sometimes, we could not blame the children on what is happening to them. The adults are more responsible and great influence of such violence. They(children), need our guidance, love, understanding and support from us especially at their difficult times.

Living a meaningless life makes us became unworthy, unlove. Our lives becomes less vital,our attituted becomes so dull and we feel robbed of our sense of purpose and pleasure in life. However, if we live a meaningful life and believe that everything we do will make a difference then our lives becomes important we feel more useful, joy, healthy, fruitful life. We become more connected with others and our days will become more brighter.

My 5 years old son Mateo, loves watching Betty La Fea (ABS-CBN program)...to our suprised my son draw this broken heart and said "Pa, this is the heart of Armando and Betty because they don't love each other anymore. Above the broken heart he draws a heart and he said " Pa , Ma, this is your heart because I see you both love each other" We were so suprised on his young age he could distinguise the value of love and respect in relationship. I am now confident and proud that when he grows up he will be come a better man.

"When you are in trouble, a true friend will be the first to rush for help. Out one true friend is God who has been our comrade through the entire endless adventure of existence".

What I have learned right now is the value of my family and God... I remember how I
used to spend to much time with my friends going out every night have a drinking spree and went home drunk. How my wife just cried and so disappointed on me when I came home so drunk. But from what I have experiencing right now that I lost my job...I also lost my so called FRIENDS.... Now, I realize the one true friend I have are my family and God who is always there for me in my trouble times, they give me strength to face everything. I don't have to waste my time looking back at what I have lost. I learned not to take for granted my family for I might wake up one day I lost my DIAMOND because I'm so busy collecting stones.
