Five things I learned from Pa and Lolo Jose

Father's Day 2009 and I would like to remember Lolo Jose and honor our tatay's through their words of wisdom. 
1.  Pa - Always buy good pairs of shoes, they'll last longer.
2.  Pa - Think twice before blowing your own horn, be humble always.
3.  Pa - "Ang utang ay utang, ang bigay ay bigay, ang hingi ay hingi (A loan is a loan, a gift is a gift and a dole out is a dole out)," always remember the difference.
4.  Lolo Jose - Better not start a task unless you'll put 100% of your effort, try to perfect a job or a skill.
5.  Lolo Jose - Honor your commitments, be responsible to your younger siblings.

From Godhand Teru

This season, I'm only watching one jdorama - Godhand Teru.  It's a medical drama and stars my favorite Hiraoka Yuta - miss those Aeon posters in JR and Hankyu eki's. On the 4th episode, the medical director of the hospital uttered something about absolute destiny. Been meaning to post it here but things come up and I got lazy the past few weeks.  Anyway, here it is:


ABSOLUTE DESTINY
No matter how confident you are in your abilities, 
In the end what it comes down to is the power to believe - 
the power to believe you'll succeed.
If you have that the results will be better.
