As we celebrate the coming of Jesus Christ in the midst of trials and challenges, let’s take the examples shown by these children of supporting each other when they only have themselves to turn to:
Making life worth living.

The incident with my cellphone has become a beautiful Christmas story:
Isa na dyan si Jason Miranda,na nasa maintenance ng Southmall sa Las Pinas na nagbalik ng aking Blackberry cellphone noong Miyerkules.
Noong Miyerkules ng hapon, bago mag-alas tres ng hapon, dumaan ako sa supermarket ng Southmall para bumili ng plastic na lalagyan ko ng crema de fruta.Nakalimutan ko kasi ito nang namili ako noong isang linggo.
Doon ko huli ginamit ang aking cellphone. Habang nakapila ako sa cashier, nag-check ako ng mga messages. Mula sa supermarket, pumunta ako sa National Book Store para bumili ng mga libro para sa mga anak ng aking mga pamangkin.

Nakakalungkot. Wala na si Maita Gomez.
Pumanaw si Maita habang siya ay natutulog Huwebes ng hapon, habang ang buong bansa ay namimighati sa pagkamatay ni Dolphy.
Sabi ni Anna Leah Sarabia, kaibigang matalik ni Maita, natulog si Maita pagkatapos niya kumain ng tanghalian. Ginising siya ng kanyang anak nang tumawag ang kanyang opisina. Hindi siya sumasagot at nang buksan ang kanyang kuarto, patay na siya.
Napaka-payapa ng kanyang pagpanaw.Sabi nga namin ni Human Rights Commissioner Etta Rosales nang magkita kami sa burol ni Maita,kung pwede lang sana hilingin kay Lord, ganun na rin niya kami kukunin.
Nakakatuwa nga kung isipin ang buhay ni Maita na laki sa mayamang pamilya, kolehiyala, naging model, beauty queen, na naging amazona.
Nag-aral si Maita ng medisina sa University of the Philippines. Siguro doon umigting ang kanyang pagka-mulat sa hindi makatarungan na pamamalakad ng pamahalaan at ang maaring papel na gampanan ng bawat mamamayan.

I find this reminder from the author Max Ehrmann appropriate for my experience at NAIA 3 last May 15, when my friend, Marilyn Robles, and I went to Boracay.
We took Cebu Pacific . As the usual airport procedures, we had our bags go through the X-ray machine, loaded them in the trolley and proceeded to the check-in counter. We each had three bags: one for check-in, and two to be hand- carried.
