That Scary Road Trip

I have never been so scared while traveling than that evening we went to Butuan for the last vigil and burial of my uncle. Last Wednesday, we almost died twice. And that is not an over-statement. First, a tree fell and almost hit our bus in Medina. 

When we reached Magsaysay, we almost fell off the ravine due to a very slippery road. It was a bumpy, scary ride, and we were all scared. Well, it would have been a tragedy if we did as with us are the two kids who are yet eight and seven. But then, we came out of the scary ordeals alive, and it's really a great feeling in the end.

Confused

Our department is the sole sponsor for the noon masses at the Fatima Chapel. My colleagues, Christine and Vince, are the active buddies who help in the choir. When Vince is not around, our department head is the one who accompanies the choir through picking the guitar while the choir sings. The guitar used is an electric guitar that uses guitar pickups musicians friend, so during mass, the songs come alive with the choir and its accompaniment. I sure miss being in the choir. But I do not join them unless we are being asked to participate for some special occasions. I may be a Buddhist but I do not mind helping them out, as I do with my family every time they need me to be with them in church. It is not just a sign of respect for my elders, but also for my family as a whole.

So if people say that I am a confused believer, I say unto them that I know where I stand and I know my faith, as much as my principles. Besides, I do everything for peace.

So Your Kids Will Hear Better

A student of mine has difficulty hearing. I would have recommended to his mother to search for some hearing aid reviews to find him the right design and type of hearing aid, but I realized that the mother is not at all interested due to the fact that it can strain her budget. Actually there are cheaper brands of hearing aids, but the mother doesn't really want to talk about her son's condition. 

We talked about some factors regarding the problem, and I found out that the child is music minded and is addicted to loud music. Loud music playing is a factor that highly affects everyone in our society today. If we want our kids to have a healthy hearing, we shouldn't subject them to the use of cellular phone using head sets and turn the volume to the loudest dial. We must also talk to them in a gentle manner. Shouting out loud to them makes them susceptible to not hearing whispers. Of course, proper care for the ears should be monitored at all times.
