SO 2012 Reunion

Discounts for Senior Citizens

Reasons Why the Government Gives Discounts

to Senior Citizens:

1. FOOD– marami nang bawal.

2. TRANSPORTATION – nahihirapan nang sumakay.

3. GROCERIES – ‘di na kayang magbuhat

4. CINEMA – malabo na ang mata.

5. CONCERTS – mahina na ang pandinig.

6. GAMOT – hirap ng lumunok

7. HOTELS – ano naman ang gagawin doon?

(Baka Motel ito?)

LESSON:

Enjoy life while you’re still young, don’t wait for discounts.

Parable of the Pig and the Cow

"The pig was unpopular while the cow was beloved. This puzzled the pig:

"Pig: People speak warmly of your gentle nature and your sorrowful eyes. They think you are generous because each day you give them your milk.and cream. But what about me?
I give them everything I have. I give bacon, ham, chops, etc. I give my all.

"Cow: It is not really what you give when you're dead. It's about what you give while you are still alive!"

So, fellow retirees and NPC-mates, we are asking for your presence. . .join us. .laugh with us. . eat with us. . .joke with us. Or else, we will tell jokes about you if you are absent. Best regards.

Hi-Tech Na Si Lolo

Isang bagong website ang aking sinubukang gawin at ito nga ang Hi-Tech Na Si Lolo na ang layunin ay mabigyan ng konting gabay ang ating mga mahal sa buhay lalo na ang ating mga Tatay at Nanay o Lolo at Lola na sa ngayon ay palagian na lamang na naiiwan sa bahay.

Sa aking palagay naman ay halos karamihan sa ating bahay ay may computer na naiiiwan. At puwedeng ipagamit sa ating mga matatandang mahal sa buhay.

Naisipan ko ito dahil sa nasabi sa akin ng isang kaibigan isang VP na siya sa isang magandang opisina pero sabi niya ay hanggang sa paggawa lamang ng email ang kanyang nagagawa sa kanyang laptop. Siya kasi ay nasa idad 50 plus na at malamang talagang maaaring may tauhan siya sa opisina na gagawa sa kanya kaya marahil hindi na siya gumagawa ng paraan matutunan ang maraming nagagawa ng isang computer.

Ayoko rin kasing makita na naiiwan na lamang ang mga Tatay at Nanay o Lolo at Lola sa harapan ng telebisyon. Kailangan kasi kahit papaano ay maging malikhain(creative) pa rin sila sa kanilang buhay kahit sinasabing retirado na sila o senior citizen at ang isang paraan nito ay ang paggamit ng computer na kung saan ay maraming matutunan sa loob ng internet.

Tatalakayin dito sa mga simpleng paraan ang mga makabagong salita, halimbawa ay:

1. Wi-Fi/Wireless

2. Virus

3. Browsers

4. Internet

5. Parts of the Computer

6. Blog

7. Tablet computer

8. At mga bagong words katulad ng HDMI, USB,...at iba pa na madalas nakikita na sa mga bagong TV.

Nagkaroon din ako ng pagkakataon na makita ang mga taong may mga dementia na at maraming pag-aaral na nagsasabing na kapag ginagamit pa rin ng madalas ang isipan lalo na ang patuloy na pag-aaral o paggamit nito lalo na nga nang pagko-computer ay maiiiwasan ang tuluyang paghina ng memorya.

Kung may kasama kayo sa bahay na nais matuto ng computer ay bigyan ninyo sila nang paimulang pagtuturo at sa pamamagitan ng Hi-Tech Na Si Lolo ay maituloy ang pagtuturo sa kanila.

Maraming nagtuturo sa loob ng internet ngunit nakita ko na halos lahat ng ito ay nasusulat sa wikang banyaga.

Isang panimula lamang ito upang tuluyan na magkaroon ng panibagong mga pag-aaral ang ating mga mahal sa buhay sa mga makabagong teknolohiya.

Regina Brett's 45 life lessons and 5 to grow on

May 28, 2006

To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me.

It is the most-requested column I’ve ever written. My odometer rolls over to 50 this week(born 1956), so here’s an update:

1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

4. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.

8. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

11. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.

12. It’s OK to let your children see you cry.

13. Don’t compare your life to others’. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.

15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don’t worry; God never blinks.

16. Life is too short for long pity parties. Get busy living, or get busy dying.

17. You can get through anything if you stay put in today.

18. A writer writes. If you want to be a writer, write.

19. It’s never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.

20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.

21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

22. Overprepare, then go with the flow.

23. Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.

24. The most important sex organ is the brain.

25. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: “In five years, will this matter?”

27. Always choose life.

28. Forgive everyone everything.

29. What other people think of you is none of your business.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.

31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

32. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

33. Believe in miracles.

34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.

35. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.

36. Growing old beats the alternative – dying young.

37. Your children get only one childhood. Make it memorable.

38. Read the Psalms. They cover every human emotion.

39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.

41. Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

42. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.

43. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

44. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

45. The best is yet to come.

46. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

47. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

48. If you don’t ask, you don’t get.

49. Yield.

50. Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift..
