The Carpenter
by: Lupahsug
A highly skilled carpenter who had grown old was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire.The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter agreed to this proposal but made sure that this will be his last project. Being in a mood to retire, the carpenter was not paying much attention to building this house. His heart was not in his work. He resorted to poor workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career.When the job was done, the carpenter called his employer and showed him the house. The employer handed over some papers and the front door key to the carpenter and said "This is your house, my gift to you."The carpenter was in a shock! What a shame! If he had only known that he was building his own house, he would have made it better than any other house that he ever built!Our situation can be compared to this carpenter. God has sent us to this world to build our homes in paradise by obeying His commands. Now, we have to decide how well we wish to build the homes where we will live forever.

How To live A Longer Life?
How to live a longer life?
Way back then, I was enthralled by the idea of living forever maybe because for me immortality gives us the staying power to fully live our lives but then as we aged, we come to the point of pondering things over facts and reality. We can think about 6 million good reasons to live longer but that doesn't give us the guarantee to prolong our lives instead, a good positive outlook in life is much way better than that. One of mankind's greatest obsessions is the quest for eternal youth. For over years now they continue to figure out the ways on how to keep our body perpetually kicking, attesting to that is the Alexander The Great scouring the world for fountain of youth.
Now a days, though we have not yet found the secret to endless life, with the help of advance medical science we can now fight the good fight much longer than we could a century ago. And if we just start dealing with our cards right we might just get lucky to live long enough seeing a new day that come up with the magic ingredients that will help us live longer.
I trimmed down some useful tips base from my first hand experience which I find it effective in welcoming a positive outlook in life.
* Keep smiling. There is nothing much more difficult than being a teacher. This job requires your time, effort and even your analysis but inspite of how demanding this work might be I always find a way to smile. This shows a positive attitude that proven to lessen of having a heart problem than person with more negative attitude.
* Go and watch scary movie. I love horror movies that lead me to discover that getting involve with that kind of flicks or anything that can put your heart at rapid pace is like hitting your heart reset button which helps it keep on ticking.
* Rise and dine. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and research shows that men who ate breakfast everyday were 44 percent less likely to be overweight and 41 percent less like to develop insulin resistance, both risk factors for heart disease.
* Take a walk. Walking up to 4 thousand steps than riding on a vihicle has proven to lower your blood pressure that condition our heart from clogging.
* Get involve on a group. People who choose to be on their own have the higher risk of developing depressed, one cause of heart failure than people with a wide circle of friends.
* Get yourself a good book. While I was browsing the internet I accidentally click on the article showing the benifits of reading good book. According to it men who recited poetry for half an hour a day lowered their heart rates significantly reducing the stress level and possibly their heart disease.
* Go on sex.Yes, this is a no kidding issue. You might think that all that grunting, pumping and sweating would increase your risk of stroke. Think again?, men who have sex atleast twice a week less likely to have stroke than man who have sex less often.
* Have a scramble egg. I found out that egg is low in saturated fat and packed with betaine, a compound that helps lower homocysteine levels in the blood.
* Get yourself a degree. Having finished with a four year course or advance degrees are more likely away from depressal stage. Why? the benifit comes from moving up the earnings ladder.
* Rub yourself. Afterwork, I always give myself a massage which help me relieve from stress and reduce levels of inflammation triggering chemicals in the skin.
* Push yourself on exercise. This one's from harvard researchers found that men who percieved themselves to working out vigorously where 28 percent less likely to develop heart disease than guy who felt they were slacking.
In conclusion, it may amount to asking yourself whether it's worth it to enjoy better life, a longer life and a more attractive image. I leave it to you for now because we've got a tremendous change in mindset.

A Love Story
A love Story
Every story has an ending but in life every ending is just a new beginning…
Again, I found myself heading towards our secret place, the place where we uttered our promise of love. While walking I can’t help but wandered to the realm of the past…
I first met Xena when I landed on the job as a call center agent in one of the country’s prominent call center. Xena is the strong, affectionate and amusing type of woman. Her wittiness never fails to amuse everyone with her no corny jokes to her wittingly ideas, indeed, she’s the epitome of the word intelligent. Timid as I was, she used to unleashed the real me that well kept hidden for so long and later we found out that we had something in common. We both have the passion in music, mystery, horror movies and of course life. During break time, she invited me to accompany her for snacks, exchange some stories, and share some ideas and looking ahead for the future. Friendly as she was, I started to develop my feelings on her and everyday with her is like a heaven to me. Most of the time I invited her to go out and watched some movies, have dinner in a not so fancy restaurant and I guess she kind of notice that I have feelings for her.
One time, I asked her for a walk under a Narra tree nearby our house. When we get there I paused for a moment and try to catch up some words. Confused as she was, Xena remained calm waiting for my next word to say.
“I love you… I said. Uhhmm I’m sorry if you think I took advantage of our friendship but I couldn’t take this feeling anymore. The more I hide it, the more it gives me the urge to tell you. All my life I’ve been wondering if I could ever be love by you. I’m sorry to have me this soon to divulge what I really feel for you. I thought I could go on having you as my friend but I failed.
“Xena, I’m madly in love with you…please don’t get mad.
She uttered no words and caught my eyes, the unremitting look that almost made me drift away. Slowly she kissed me on the lips. I can’t help myself but hug her gently and slowly I held her hands. I stared at her hazel eyes, the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen in my life. It was so meaningful. With a teary eyes, she utter the words that I long to hear.
“I love you too Garrett. I never felt this for such a long time now.
I was the happiest man alive that moment but it wasn’t that long, the happiness I tend to believe it was be soon become grief.
One fine afternoon while we sat under the Narra tree (that we called it love nest), Xena was into these bunch of kids. There they were the dusty little children, wrecking havocs on the streets with their raucous laughter playing like beast. I stood up and looked for something to eat. I didn’t know that particular moment would be the time that could change both of our lives.
… A loud screech issued just from the corner then came a raging delivery truck that didn’t seem to care if it was going to rake the streets off of everything that was on it…and then, I didn’t know how it all happened but there was Xena , sprawled on the road about 20 meters away from me. I hurried up and snapped out of gaze to be on her side. She was still breathing when I held her to my arms.
“On my God… please! I can’t find the right words to say that moment. I was shaking.
“Xena, I’ll go and find for help…but she managed to grip my wrist to stop me from going.
“It won’t be that long Garrettt”…while she grasps for oxygen. Just don’t leave me.
“Xena c’mon, I need to call for help, I can’t let you die babe…I love you, cried as tears were drifting from my eyes.
“Listen Garrett, please don’t be mad with the little girl I saved… I ahh want to thank you for you never fail to make me feel love by you and if I die please go on with your life cause I want you to be happy and promise me that you will love again. Just remember, you are my happiness. I love you here and in the hereafter...my tears continue pouring like raindrops. I held her hands tightly and little by little her eyes slowly closing now.
“I love you, Xena, you can hear me, can’t you? She nodded as a sign that she was listening. In a glance, Xena stopped breathing. My world crumbled then…
My snore brought me back to reality. I found myself taking a deep breath to cast away the thought from the tragic past. After a couple seconds, I sighed… I guess it’s about time for me to move on. I know Xena doesn’t want to see me like this.
“Xena, my baby, wherever you are right now, you are the most wonderful thing ever happened in my life. I will never forget you, though fate has taken you away from me that soon but deep down my heart you’ll always be here for as long as I live… I love you baby… then a wind blows over my cheek as if somebody’s kissing me. As tears started to form on my eyes a long white feather fluttered from nowhere and landed on my shoulder.
Every story has an ending but in life every ending is just a new beginning…
