LaMaNG Ka NGa Ba?

kung MAS maaga ka?

aba siyempre! sobrang nakakastress kaya kapag naghahabol ng oras at nakakaloka yung may makita tayong kapalpakan or meron tayong nakalimutan taz wala nang oras. tayong mga Pilipino ay kilala sa pagiging huli, pero hindi naman lahat. suma total, mas okay pa rin yung nauuna tayo lagi.

HaLiMBaWA: 
sa mga programs - makakapili pa tayo ng mga upuang mas kumportable..

sa klase - may panahon pa tayong mangopya, este! mareview yung ating mga assignments..

sa simbahan - makakaupo tayo dun sa kung saan nasisilayan yung ngiti ni Padre, ay! yung naririning pala ng maayos yung sermon niya..

sa mall - siguradong hindi pa mahaba ang pila sa cashier kaya mas may oras pa tayong maglamyerda..

sa kusina - may oras pa tayong hanapin yung atay ng manok dun sa kaserola or yung cherry sa fruit salad..

sa mga party - makakaupo tayo dun sa kung saan malapit ang lechon..

sa mga meetings - we can find a seat sa likuran, yung di mahalata yung pagsibat natin ng maaga..

kung MAS maingay ka?

excuse meh! nasa tamang lugar ba? nasa tamang oras ba? sino ba ang kausap natin? bingi ba sila? or close ba kayo? konting ingat, kasi karaniwan sa atin naiirita sa mga maiingay. madalas, mahilig tayong magkwento sa madlang people pero we have to make sure na kasali yung audience natin, yung tipong nakakarelate sila para naman may audience impact.

HaLiMBaWA:
sa klase - pag nauna si sir or si ma'am sa pagkwento at sa pagjoke, naku dapat react to the max!

sa bus - investigate muna.. dapat walang natutulog or else, ipapakulam ka ng ibang mga pasahero..

sa restaurant - don't speak when your mouth is full <<< this is the only rule..

sa seminar - speaker ka ba? kung hindi, mahiya ka naman.. hahaha!

sa CR - sige, magtalak hangga't gusto but cover your mouth while speaking..

sa sinehan - kung ayaw mo ng sakit sa katawan, behave ka na lang..

kung MAS mayabang ka?

depende! basta ba't nagsasabi ka ng totoo, why not? bakit, ipinagbabawal ba ng batas? sa panahon ngayon, kelengan din nating magyabang paminsanminsan basta huwag lang sobra at baka magsiliparan na lahat sa sobrang hangin. kumbaga, ilagay sa lugar. sa dami ng social networks ngayon, naku! we can promote ourselves anytime, ika nga, di vah?

HaLiMBaWa:
sa harap ng crush mo - grab the opportunity.. hala, carry your bench! but screen your words and check your grammar na din..

sa harap ng mga mayayabang - GO! gamitin mo lahat ng energy mo. umasta kang taga ibang planeta at siguradong awardee ka agad.. hehehe! ang mayabang galit sa kapwa mayabang..

sa work place - magyabang ka naman minsan. tahimik ka nga, nagngingitngit ka naman sa galit kasi nalamangan ka. talo ka na nga, masakit pa dibdib mo. at kapag nakahanap ka ng kasabwat, lalaitin nyo yung kasama nyong nagyabang. weh! di masamang mainggit. next time, eh di kayo naman magyabang..

sa mga magulang mo - di na kelangan. kung may nakakaalam man ng kaledad mo, sila yun..

sa asawa't mga anak mo - aba, dapat lang. sila ang pinakasolid na fan's club mo at sila din ang makapagpatunay na karapatdapat kang ipagmayabang.

ang dyahe lang naman sa pagmamayabang ay yung 'self-proclamation'.. but still, it always go back to the rule - boast MODERATELY..

kung MAS mayaman ka?

sus! it's just a way of thinking.. richness is a feeling lang naman eh.. we can be rich in so many things - friendships, family, career, experiences, financially and all..

yung yamang pinansyal di kelangang irampa yan at baka mahold-up or makidnap tayo. hala!

The way we project ourselves is a very important factor. the question is : ANO YUNG GUSTO NATING TINGIN NG IBANG TAO SA ATIN?

paano ba tayo manamit?
subukan nga nating pumunta sa mall na naka 'faded' duster at naka 'dirty' tsinelas.. baka sa guard pa lang, harangan na tayo.. and for sure, walang sales representative ang lalapit. kahit bibili pa tayo ng sampung fitflops, it'll  still be self-service.

o di kaya magsimbang naka mini-skirt, nakasleeveless and with plunging necklines.. if we want publicity, hala sige! di naman bawal eh, but it's just like having sex at the grocery section - hindi bawal pero walang gumagawa..

appropriateness lang ang susi..

paano ba tayo magsalita?
may sense ba? nasa tamang oras ba? think and rethink kung kinakelangan..



layp is wat we meyk it and we are held responsible for all our actions.. we bring our own name, bear our own face, carry our own body, and nourish our own soul..

TiMeD OuT!

We all love to be rewarded for whatever accomplishment we have made. On the other hand, most of us also fear punishment. 

'TIME OUT' is an idea I got from my friend, Woody, who shared his experiences in implementing a 'just punishment' in their household. And, believe me, it is very effective.


This is just simply letting the culprit stand for an hour facing the wall (not an FB wall okay?). A child is impatient by nature and since patience is not measured by the length of waiting but by the behavior while waiting, the feeling of boredom and resentment exponentially multiplies. Aside from preventing us in spanking and nagging them, they are also given the chance to think. Once we sense that they are already becoming restless, then it is time to let them speak, facing the wall still. They can say whatever they want - explain why they misbehave, defend themselves by justifying their fault, say sorry, make promises, and we must listen to every word they say. Allow them to cry if they want to. Letting them face the wall doesn't allow them to see our reactions and facial expressions (smiling, maybe?). Thus, we're safer this way. If what they say is nonsense, pretend not to hear anything and this will make them think of better words to say. We have to wait for those humble and loving words because, whether they like it or not, they have to. Let us bear in mind that they can only be good parents after they have been good children. After their one-hour-agony, never forget to explain why they have been timed out.

All our children are intelligent, just like us. But, we must be smarter. We are all busy people and so, we prefer to continue with what we are doing (washing dishes, sweeping the floor, checking papers, watching TV, but do not go to sleep huh?). So, this is multitasking because at the same time, we teach and implement discipline in the family. When we opt to scold them, we just commit a sin by saying bad and harsh words or by shouting at them and it'll just be shameful when our neighbors hear us. We all know our children and if there is one person who understands them, it's us. It's now time for us to stop hurting them physically. Remember those times we condemn those ants and mosquitoes who bit them when they were still babies? It is part of our duties and responsibilities to protect them, teach them, and not to kill them.

'Time Out' has no strict and fast rule. In fact, we can set our own rules and conditions. Eventually, this punishment will become an SOP and soon they will be asking you if they are 'timed out' once they commit mistakes.

This is a very harmless punishment and an effective way of teaching and implementing discipline too.  Let me stress also, that this has no exemption. If we intend to practice justice, then we parents, too, can be timed out once we misbehave. So, we better be careful..
