Have you ever heard the word “BUENA MANO”? Maybe you have heard it.
Spanish term that means “good hand,” BUENA MANO is a magical belief that a good sale at the start of the day brings in more customers and more transactions.” Good” may mean a large transaction, which spells more money. It may also involve an early sale, which assures brisk business for the whole world day.
Let me share you a story that I have heard or maybe I have read I forgot where I got this, that shows the true meaning of BUENA MANO.
I was in second year high school when I earned my first peso. Enjoying my summer vacation-which meant away from books and demanding teachers-I did not think of anything to do except be with my friends and play basketball. One evening my parents persuaded me to take up summer job in the hospital where both of them worked.
The thought of earning my own money thrilled me.
I agreed to do the job.
By the end of the week, I received my pay-only a few pesos-but it gave me a sense of satisfaction. It was the first money earned from my own labor.
Then my mother suggested we go the city to buy a pair of slippers. We went after work.. I tried on a pair of blue slippers. I do not remember now what happened afterward-it could have been my excitement at my new treasure-but I readily fished out some money from my pocket and handed it to the sales clerk.
Reaching home, I unwrapped my slippers and put them on. But they were too small for me. I was angry with myself, but my parents assured me that they knew the storeowner and I could go there the next day and change them for a larger size.
I arrived at the store the next day while the sales people were just arranging their wares, putting some items outside for shoppers to see them.
“These slippers we bought last night are too small me,” told the sales head, a forty-something woman with bulgy eyes. “Can I have them changed?”
“Little boy,” she told me between loud chuckles,” come back later. We haven’t had our buena Mano yet.”
I could not understand term buena Mano, but the giggles and stares of the sales people made me aware of the futility of arguing; I would have to come back later. I have since learned the meaning of that term.
One columnist* in a daily paper wrote that there is a “need to counter buena mano as a magical belief.” However, many Filipino business people, he said, still limit the idea of buena mano to an exchange of money at the start of the day; one that they think will automatically bring in more money.
We may not be a salesperson or a tiangge owner, but we believe that if you offer fair deals with everyone you meet, you have a buena mano no matter what time of day.
It is time we . . . expanded this notion of buena mano to refer to business ethics. A ‘good hand’ is an honest hand . . . .The buena mano not in the buying itself, but in the goodwill and trust generated by the vendor’s own ethical practices, together with graciousness and a sense of service. All that comes together to keep the cash register ringing, in terms of returning customers and the friends they bring along.

Reflections on Teachers and Teaching
Class!
I was quite excited and quite nervous, can I do it?
Last January 25-26, 2007, University of the Philippines held its’ KYSD or Know Your School Day. In this activity, students for them to have time to relax will substitute teachers.
Some schoolmates explained to us what this activity and what will happen. Some who are willing will substitute the teachers and will be the teachers. Some of my classmates were excited to hold a subject. Some were excited to hold a position. Some too were confused, if they were going to hold a subject or have a position or not. Right! Teaching is not an easy thing to do. I was looking at my classmates. They were excited for this activity. Then I have also asked myself if I shall have one? Yes! What will I lose if I hold one? Then there I go. Just like being a real teacher, we need to fill a form and be interviewed. Like others, too, I was also nervous of giving answers to the questions they will throw unto me. Well, I was also confused on what subjects will I hold? There are too many of them. Will it be English, Math, Science, or what? Uh!!! But well, I finally came up with a decision, to apply for Science, Reading and Filipino. Definitely, I broke the rules. How bad I was. It was said that we could apply or hold for two subjects only. But one teacher told us that we can apply more because what if you cannot be accepted for the subject you’re applying. And she has a point. But luckily shall I say that I was hired for the three subjects. I thought of it. And I said to myself, maybe I can do it? At first, it looked easy for me. On the first day of the activity, there was a program in which we, the “teachers” will be given ID’s. I had three ID’s. Imagine! Before that, we were also given some instructions on what lesson should be tackled and it is up to us how we are going to do it. My subjects were still on the second day and the third so I also had a chance to see some of them work. I think they were nervous on what to do. I was also nervous when I saw them. But I thought I can do it. The first subject I had was Filipino. I was to continue the part we stopped at Ibon Adarna. We read the continuation. Then, we had a game called “Paint Me a Picture”. They were to portray some scenes that I give them. I was really laughing on what others did. Then the bell rang, signaling that being a Filipino teacher was over. But, o..ohh! I still have two subjects to handle. I asked my classmates if my performance was okay. Some said it was okay and that they had fun. It gave me then a sort of reason that I can do it. Then I had Reading. We covered one selection and had a quiz and promised that we will have a game. But we lack time. I asked them if they were okay and they said yes. Here at last. I am going to have my last subject, Science. We covered a chapter and again promised to have a game. But Ernestine and I have not fulfilled our promise but it was okay.
The last day had come and we had our closing program. My colleagues and I were given a Certificate of Recognition just enough for me for a smile.
I have also said to myself that being a teacher and to teach is not an easy thing to do. You have to focus on your teaching. You must also be patient at any times. You must also treat everyone, too equal and fair. You must be approachable. Lastly, strict but reasonable. If you look one by one, it seems to be easy but in fact, it is not. I am not frightening anyone to try to teach but believe me.
For everything I have done, I proved myself… I can do it!

A Love Affair with M/V Doulos and Books
Welcome on board!
The day had finally come, the day to visit M/V Doulos. It was a wonderful day to visit this huge ship. Everyone was excited to go.
Definitely, there were two batches and we belong to the first batch, so we went there earlier than the others did. In the morning, we had regular classes because we were going there in afternoon. Our teachers gave us some instructions. They were quite busy, too looking for some jeepney we can ride in going there. Supposedly, we were going to take a Kaoshung bus in going there, but the mother who looked for some told us that it was okay but there were no busses available. So what we did, we just hired for some jeep.
Some of my classmates said that they are going to buy some books. Books! I really wanted to buy, too but I do not have enough money. However, I just brought my money with me. Everyone was ready to go and everything was ready. There were four jeepneys waiting for us, just enough for the two-year levels: the freshies and the sophies. We were two pay P15 for the fare, going there and going back to the school. Before we went inside the jeep, there were some who went first to the sink and beautify their faces, just making sure they will be beautiful and handsome in going there. In each jeepney, a teacher is assigned to go with the students. Mme. Logarta, our Social Science teacher was with us.
There was then the roar of the motor and there we go! Before we left, Mme. Logarta told us to pray, so we prayed. Our jeepney was very noisy. We were talking about much stuff. Mme. Logarta scolded us for being noisy but later on we finally came up with an agreement: “It is okay to talk inside the jeepney but when we reach the ship, everyone should be quite.” I bought, too candies for me to chew. It took us several minutes to reach the ship because it is located at Pier 1, Berth 28, Cebu Domestic Port. We were excited that even though the jeepney was still running, we went out of it. The ship if truth were told was big. We were to fall in line. There, a crew of the ship met us. He was talking there like a giant man and he was scolding us because we were talking. Then later on, he knew that we were still high school students and apologized for scolding us because he thought we were college student. At this height? But well, he told us about the captain of he ship, Captain McDonald. At first, we thought that Captain McDonald and you know Ronald McDonald, a famous character of a fast food restaurant, were the same. Afterwards, he explained that the two were different. We also passed by the ticket booth and an American woman smiled at us. We smiled at her, too. By the way, we had a free admission but adults must accompany us. Lucky for us. Then we went inside. At first, we went to the book fair. There were so many books inside. Doulos carries a stock of half a million books for sale, covering subjects such as Science, Education, Sports, Cookery, History, technology, Photography, Christian Living, and a wide range of Children’s Literature. There we go! Everyone there was busy reading. I was also quite busy roaming around to look for a book that can fit my budget. I was dizzy looking for one. There were many books of choices. Outside the book fair, there was an ice cream booth. I was planning to buy but it was very cheap. Imagine, just a small cup of ice cream costs P30. I went outside to see if there were other foods for sale. I was just going back inside when an attendant told us that we could not get inside back. We asked for help. Luckily, one person helped us to get inside. I started again to look for a book but then our teachers announced that we were going down for a forum. When we were going down, some crews were giving a sort of a storybook. I had one.
When we reached the lower portion of the boat, some people in attires and in different nationalities greeted us. Then the forum began. There was also another school there. We listened to what they were saying, especially about God. We enjoyed, too the games. When it ended, they gave us also a magazine entitled “Book of Hope”. I enjoyed reading it. We went upstairs again for the book fair. At last! I have found a book. It just fitted my budget because it just costs P50. The book was entitled “Safely Home”. Alcorn wrote it. I am not so familiar with him but as I read the back portion, there were good comments about him. In fact, until now, I have not read it yet because I am busy with some works to do. Our teachers then announced that we were leaving. We went down and waited for our jeep. We reached the school happily and talked about the things we did in the boat.
It was such a memorable day to visit the ship, M/V Doulos and the have a keepsake from the ship, a book.

What do stars in skies tell me about life
In our lives, we feel sad, sometimes happy. Then when we look up the sky, we see those twinkling objects, the stars that sometimes comfort us in our low parts of our life.
Stars- heavenly bodies that are up in the sky. They are mainly of hydrogen, partly of helium, and have traces of heavier elements like iron, calcium, sodium, carbon and oxygen.
Stars are our idols in life that we want to reach, the ones we fantasize, the one we see in our television sets, the one who gives us entertainment. Also our idols in life, our parents who helped us since we were young, taking our first step in life and until now, they are always there in our backs. When we need help, they are there. When we feel down, they are also there. Moreover, in times of joy, they are there, sharing their happiness with us. Lastly, being the wind beneath our wings.
Stars are our inspirations in life, the ones that gives us strength to do things that we cannot do on our own. Like again our parents. When we do something, they are always to cheer us up, like a cheerleader cheering a game we are playing
Stars reminds us that everything around us is within reach, no matter what comes, we can all find peace and a little bit of magic.
Watching stars are like watching our lives. Stars seem to twinkle because of these atmospheric dusts. It is like us. We twinkle. However, some times covered with these dusts, the hindrances. Nevertheless, there is still a chance to shine again.
Our life here on Earth is not ours, we just barrowed it from the God Almighty and at anytime he can take it away from us. It is like a star. It also dies like us. It is also born like us.
Let me give you some quotations and poems about stars and reflect on these. Is it like us?
· Stars open among the lilies.
Do such expressionless sirens not blind you?
This is the silence of astounded souls.
· A galaxy is composed of gas and dust and stars—billions upon billions of stars.
· At this latitude I'm spinning 836 miles an hour round the earth's axis...I close my eyes and I see stars, deep stars giving way to deeper stars, deeper stars bowing to deepest stars at the crown of an infinite cone.
· For still I looked on that same star,
That fitful, fiery Lucifer,
Watching with mind as quiet as moss
Its light nailed to a burning cross.
· Give me space...
space for my mind to reach
into that indigo space
shattered by stars.
I shall drag them down and wear about my head
and fill my hands with the firefly glimmer
of fugitive thoughts.
· In the far distance
· A lone star holds the sky.
· Look at the stars! look, look up at the skies!
O look at all the fire-folk sitting in the air!
The bright boroughs, the circle-citadels there!
· Stars lay like yellow pollen
That from a flower has fallen;
And single stars I saw
Crossing themselves in awe;
Some stars in sudden fear
Fell like a falling tear.
· Well, not bad, but there are decidedly too many of them, and they are not very well arranged. I would have done it differently.
Stars are indeed like us. Sometimes were shy that we wanted to be covered with dusts. Sometimes were messy like the stars scattered in the skies. Sometimes we shine but a hindrance comes.
Moreover, it is up to us, do you want to be covered always or shine again?

Pigs on Journey
Once, there was a kingdom where a pig named Kinky, and her best friend Pinky lived. Everyone in their kingdom has known them very well because both of them join the pageant in their place.
One time, their leader announced that they should go out of their kingdom to search for food. Many animals deserted their place. They looked for another place to live in. This was a big problem for Kinky and Pinky.
“What are we going to do?” asked Pinky. “Of course, we should get out here and look for food,” replied Kinky. “But where? We are not familiar with this kingdom?” complained Pinky. “Oh well, we should start a little bit of journey,” answered Kinky. They agreed with a plan, to start a little bit of journey.
They started their journey. “Where are we now?” asked Pinky. “Pinky, you’re so hot. Just wait and see,” replied Kinky. Pinky didn’t stop complaining and then a trouble happened. Pinky fell on a trap. “Kinky, help me,” shouted Pinky. “But I cannot carry you you’re so heavy,” replied Kinky. Suddenly, someone came. “Arff. Arff. What happened here?” asked the mysterious man. “My friend fell on a trap,” said Kinky. “Let me help you,” the man continued. The mysterious man or shall we call it a dog, helped Kinky to get Pinky back. “By the way, I’m Merlin,” said the dog. As Pinky finished cleaning herself, she saw Merlin, and fell in love at first sight. The same, too with Merlin. “What make you drop by here?” asked Merlin. “Uhm… actually were looking for a place where we could live,” said Pinky. “How about if you go with me in our kingdom? I’ll tell our king about this and I’m sure he will let you stay,” exclaimed Merlin. The two followed Merlin.
“This is our kingdom,” said Merlin. “Wow!” they exclaimed. “Wait! Stay here. I’ll see our king,” he said. “Okay.”
“Your highness,” Merlin greeted. “I’m here to tell you that I’ve met two ladies who are finding for a place to live in. And I was hoping if they could…” continued Merlin. “Stay here?” Leo, their king, questioned. “How sure are you that those ladies, I mean, those strangers are not bad?” continued Leo. “But majesty, I can assure you that they are good,” Merlin said. “Then prove it!” said Leo. Merlin told the two on what he and the king have agreed. “Maybe we’ll just leave,” said Pinky. “No!” said Merlin. “Just believe me,” he continued. Meanwhile, in the king’s hall, the king and his assistant, Tuko, was there. “What do you think about those two?” asked Leo. “Well, your majesty, I’m not convinced that those two are good, maybe they are here to intrude us,” Tuko exclaimed. “If that is the case, call Merlin now, immediately!” said Leo. Tuko hurriedly searched for Merlin. Finally, He saw Merlin. “You’ve been called by our majesty,” said Tuko. “Why?” he asked. “I do not know,” Tuko answered. Merlin rushed to the king’s hall and there, he and the king had a conversation. “Why majesty, is there something wrong, asked Merlin. “I want you to let those ladies get out of this palace,” Leo said. “But why?” Merlin asked. “I have the feeling that these two might intrude our place,” Leo continued. “Please don’t. If they will do what you have said then kill me,” Merlin offered. “Brave enough to protect these to strangers, but it is a deal,” Leo said.
Many days had pass and the two didn’t did what the king accused them but then a big problem happened. The king and his assistant had a meeting in his hall. “What do you think is happening to our food, our stocked foods are decreasing in number?” asked King Leo. “Maybe they are already moving,” said Tuko. “ Who…they? Maybe,” said Leo.
One time, King Leo called all the people in their kingdom for a meeting. “You have already heard the news that our stocked foods are decreasing in number and we don’t know who is the master of all this act,” announced King Leo. “And now, the one who can tell me who is the mastermind of all these act, shall have a wish that I shall grant,” he continued. Everyone participated in the plan of the king.
“Your majesty, I know who is the mastermind of this act,” Merlin said. Everyone around was surprised. “It’s Tu..ko!” he shouted. “The king’s assistant?” asked one of the guards. There were murmurs all around. “How sure are you?” Leo asked. “One night, Pinky and I was walking on the terrace, we heard Tuko talking with some of your servants. Tuko said that when they will help him, they will get a share. Right Pinky,” said Merlin. “Yeah right,” answered Pinky. “Maybe you are just covering the two ladies, or maybe, you are one of them,” inserted Tuko. Everyone around was thinking who is the real mastermind. “Your highness, just now, I was walking in the corridor near their room, I heard them laughing and saying that they could sell the food they have stolen,” Tuko exclaimed. “You are such a great liar,” said Kinky. “Maybe we can check their room,” said Tuko. They went to Pinky’s and Kinky’s room. And there, everyone was shocked to see that some of the sacks, where they put the foods, was there. “See,” said Tuko. “But…it wasn’t there yesterday,” said Kinky. “Now, you’re the liar,” Tuko continued. “Put them in the dungeon,” ordered the king. “But wait,” an unknown voice was heard. And it was one of the maids in the palace. “Just this morning, majesty, I saw Tuko and his allies putting the sacks in the ladies room. And then, I also saw Tuko and his allies in the previous nights, carrying those sacks and putting them into a truck,” she said. “Really?” the king questioned. “I also noticed that these following days, you seemed to be busy and you are always not here,” he continued. “That’s why. Arrest him,” he ordered. But before the guards could arrest Tuko, he got a gun and pointed it to Pinky. Merlin saw this and hurriedly pushed Pinky. “No!” he shouted. “Bang!” Everyone was surprised to hear the sound. “Merlin!” Pinky shouted. “Please, don’t leave me,” she continued. “Please, don’t leave me. Please! Merlin…I love you!” she shouted. Merlin was gasping his breath. “I also love you,” he whispered.
After that incident, Tuko was killed and buried into shallow graves. And from that day, Pinky, together with Kinky, always visit Merlin, Pinky’s love.
One time, their leader announced that they should go out of their kingdom to search for food. Many animals deserted their place. They looked for another place to live in. This was a big problem for Kinky and Pinky.
“What are we going to do?” asked Pinky. “Of course, we should get out here and look for food,” replied Kinky. “But where? We are not familiar with this kingdom?” complained Pinky. “Oh well, we should start a little bit of journey,” answered Kinky. They agreed with a plan, to start a little bit of journey.
They started their journey. “Where are we now?” asked Pinky. “Pinky, you’re so hot. Just wait and see,” replied Kinky. Pinky didn’t stop complaining and then a trouble happened. Pinky fell on a trap. “Kinky, help me,” shouted Pinky. “But I cannot carry you you’re so heavy,” replied Kinky. Suddenly, someone came. “Arff. Arff. What happened here?” asked the mysterious man. “My friend fell on a trap,” said Kinky. “Let me help you,” the man continued. The mysterious man or shall we call it a dog, helped Kinky to get Pinky back. “By the way, I’m Merlin,” said the dog. As Pinky finished cleaning herself, she saw Merlin, and fell in love at first sight. The same, too with Merlin. “What make you drop by here?” asked Merlin. “Uhm… actually were looking for a place where we could live,” said Pinky. “How about if you go with me in our kingdom? I’ll tell our king about this and I’m sure he will let you stay,” exclaimed Merlin. The two followed Merlin.
“This is our kingdom,” said Merlin. “Wow!” they exclaimed. “Wait! Stay here. I’ll see our king,” he said. “Okay.”
“Your highness,” Merlin greeted. “I’m here to tell you that I’ve met two ladies who are finding for a place to live in. And I was hoping if they could…” continued Merlin. “Stay here?” Leo, their king, questioned. “How sure are you that those ladies, I mean, those strangers are not bad?” continued Leo. “But majesty, I can assure you that they are good,” Merlin said. “Then prove it!” said Leo. Merlin told the two on what he and the king have agreed. “Maybe we’ll just leave,” said Pinky. “No!” said Merlin. “Just believe me,” he continued. Meanwhile, in the king’s hall, the king and his assistant, Tuko, was there. “What do you think about those two?” asked Leo. “Well, your majesty, I’m not convinced that those two are good, maybe they are here to intrude us,” Tuko exclaimed. “If that is the case, call Merlin now, immediately!” said Leo. Tuko hurriedly searched for Merlin. Finally, He saw Merlin. “You’ve been called by our majesty,” said Tuko. “Why?” he asked. “I do not know,” Tuko answered. Merlin rushed to the king’s hall and there, he and the king had a conversation. “Why majesty, is there something wrong, asked Merlin. “I want you to let those ladies get out of this palace,” Leo said. “But why?” Merlin asked. “I have the feeling that these two might intrude our place,” Leo continued. “Please don’t. If they will do what you have said then kill me,” Merlin offered. “Brave enough to protect these to strangers, but it is a deal,” Leo said.
Many days had pass and the two didn’t did what the king accused them but then a big problem happened. The king and his assistant had a meeting in his hall. “What do you think is happening to our food, our stocked foods are decreasing in number?” asked King Leo. “Maybe they are already moving,” said Tuko. “ Who…they? Maybe,” said Leo.
One time, King Leo called all the people in their kingdom for a meeting. “You have already heard the news that our stocked foods are decreasing in number and we don’t know who is the master of all this act,” announced King Leo. “And now, the one who can tell me who is the mastermind of all these act, shall have a wish that I shall grant,” he continued. Everyone participated in the plan of the king.
“Your majesty, I know who is the mastermind of this act,” Merlin said. Everyone around was surprised. “It’s Tu..ko!” he shouted. “The king’s assistant?” asked one of the guards. There were murmurs all around. “How sure are you?” Leo asked. “One night, Pinky and I was walking on the terrace, we heard Tuko talking with some of your servants. Tuko said that when they will help him, they will get a share. Right Pinky,” said Merlin. “Yeah right,” answered Pinky. “Maybe you are just covering the two ladies, or maybe, you are one of them,” inserted Tuko. Everyone around was thinking who is the real mastermind. “Your highness, just now, I was walking in the corridor near their room, I heard them laughing and saying that they could sell the food they have stolen,” Tuko exclaimed. “You are such a great liar,” said Kinky. “Maybe we can check their room,” said Tuko. They went to Pinky’s and Kinky’s room. And there, everyone was shocked to see that some of the sacks, where they put the foods, was there. “See,” said Tuko. “But…it wasn’t there yesterday,” said Kinky. “Now, you’re the liar,” Tuko continued. “Put them in the dungeon,” ordered the king. “But wait,” an unknown voice was heard. And it was one of the maids in the palace. “Just this morning, majesty, I saw Tuko and his allies putting the sacks in the ladies room. And then, I also saw Tuko and his allies in the previous nights, carrying those sacks and putting them into a truck,” she said. “Really?” the king questioned. “I also noticed that these following days, you seemed to be busy and you are always not here,” he continued. “That’s why. Arrest him,” he ordered. But before the guards could arrest Tuko, he got a gun and pointed it to Pinky. Merlin saw this and hurriedly pushed Pinky. “No!” he shouted. “Bang!” Everyone was surprised to hear the sound. “Merlin!” Pinky shouted. “Please, don’t leave me,” she continued. “Please, don’t leave me. Please! Merlin…I love you!” she shouted. Merlin was gasping his breath. “I also love you,” he whispered.
After that incident, Tuko was killed and buried into shallow graves. And from that day, Pinky, together with Kinky, always visit Merlin, Pinky’s love.
Ang Manukan ni Lolo Pepe
Once, in a baranggay named Sitio Mapula, there lived an old man named Mang Pepe. He was very known there because of his great kindness. Together with him lived his five grandchildren, Marsha, the eldest, Cathy, Toni, Juan, and the youngest was Potpot. Lolo Pepe also had a poultry which was very popular in the place.
“ Potpot, come here and we’ll play,” shouted Toni. Hurriedly, Potpot went to his sister to play. “ Toni, can you feed the chickens?” asked Mang Pepe. “ After we play lolo,” answered Toni. “ How about you Cathy and Juan, water the plants.” “ Yes lolo! ”
Toni forgot what she has to do. Mang Pepe saw that the chickens were not yet fed. He also saw that the plants were not properly watered. He did these things again. Mang Pepe was very tired. But he didn’t yet fed the chickens. He got the chicken pellets and started to fed them. “ Marsha, can you lend me some help here? ” “ Yes, lolo!” Marsha went to his lolo. “ Lolo, are you okay? ” asked Marsha. “ I’m….I’m… ” Mang Pepe didn’t even got the chance to tell that he was feeling dizzy. Mang Pepe fainted and fell. “ Lolo…lolo! Hey, help me here, ” shouted Marsha. The five helped to carry their lolo. They waited for their lolo to wake up. They did everything they could. They called a doctor. The doctor said that their lolo has an incurable disease.
One morning, their lolo woke up. Everyone was surprised to see him awake. “ Tomorrow , early morning, wake up early. Go to the poultry. You will notice a chicken which will get out of it’s cage. Follow this chicken and he will lead you to the cure of my sickness. This chicken will hatch an egg. Bring it with you,” Mang Pepe told his grandchildren. After hearing those, they were very eager to find the cure. They woke up early.
“ Potpot, Cathy, Toni, wake up,” whispered Marsha and Juan. Hurriedly, they all went to the poultry and waited for a chicken to go out on its’ cage. “ Look guys, there’s the chicken,” said Juan. They followed this chicken as what their lolo said. But then, as they were following this chicken, they were in another dimension. “ Where are we?” asked Potpot. “ I…I don’t know,” answered Cathy. Suddenly, a mysterious voice was heared. “ How dare these intruders come to my place,” said the voice. “ We’re here to see the cure of our lolo,” answered Marsha. “ Oh well, good for you! Go now before it’s too late. But my dear, please be careful,” warned the mysterious voice. “ Guys, the chicken, it’s there,” shouted Juan. They ran as fast as they could, but they couldn’t find the chicken. It has been a long walk and they reached the point that they should separate ways.
“ Look. What shall we do next?” asked Marsha. “ Look at this. There are two ways,” she continued. “ How about if one group will go the way and the other will go this way,” said Toni. “ Great idea. Potpot and I will go this way and you three will go that way,” said Cathy. They continued with their plan. On the first road, Cathy and Potpot was there. They walked and rested for a while. But then, their surroundings became dark that they couldn’t see each other. “ Ate, what is happening here,” asked Potpot. “ I don’t know,”
replied Cathy. Suddenly, a ghost appeared and chased them. “ Ate, help me,” shouted Potpot. “ Where are you?” shouted Cathy. The two lost their ways and separate . On the other hand, Marsha, Toni, and Juan was there. After a long walk, they noticed a table with foods on it. “ Wow! Look, that is my favorite cake,” said Juan. Hurriedly, Juan went to the table to eat. “ Juan, no!” shouted Marsha. “ It can be a trap,” she continued. But Juan didn’t listen. And Juan was on his last slice of cake. “ Look, nothing happened,” said Juan. Not long before he took the first bite of the last slice, a huge, dark circle appeared and Juan fell on it. “ Juan! Where are you now?” shouted Toni. But no traces were found. They were down to two. They continued to walk. Not long after, something strange happened. Toni saw her crush who offered her to a dance. After saying yes, Toni was already not listening to Marsha, as if she was hypnotized. “ Toni, stop!” shouted Marsha. But it was too late. Toni wasn’t listening to her. Then Toni’s crush started to kiss Toni. After the kiss, Toni suddenly disappeared and went to another dimension. Toni forgot what happened and where is Marsha. Marsha was also there left there.
The five were separated and started to walk. After several hours, the five met again. “ What happened?” asked Potpot. “ I know. Potpot and I are afraid of ghosts. It’ our weakness,’ said Cathy. “ Also the food on the table, Toni’ s crush, they appeared on our journey on the other road,” said Marsha. “ They were all our weaknes,” Toni continued. Suddenly, everything turned to black, darkness grew and they were trapped. But then, Marsha’s necklace shone. “ Look! My necklace is shining,” Marsha exclaimed. “ Yes! The necklace that lolo gave you which is suppose to be mine,” said Popot. “ No! It was two years before when it should be mine,” said Cathy.
Two years ago, Mang Pepe has this necklace which was to be said has a great power. Mang Pepe was choosing who among his five grandchildren should he give this. One time, Mang Pepe gathered his grandchildren. “ I have here my necklace and I’ll give to the one who can handle and take care of this necklace,’ said Mang Pepe. “ Can I have it lolo,” said Potpot. “ Lolo, it should be mine,” exclaimed Cathy. “ And I’ll give this to Marsha,” said Mang Pepe. “ But don’t worry, I promise you’ll will have one someday,” he continued.
Back to the present, Marsha’s necklace was still shining. And then, the darkness started to fold its’ blanket. “ Yipee!” shouted the five. “ And look, there’s the chicken,” said Marsha. They went near the chicken. Then, they noticed that the chicken was hatching an egg, a very huge and colorful egg. Then they remembered what their lolo told them, “ This chicken will hatch an egg. Bring it with you.” Juan carried then the chicken and the five got the egg. Suddenly, they were on the poultry again and saw their lolo feeding the chicken. “ Lolo, we’re here,” shouted the five. “ Oh! My grandchildren are here. I saw you in my dreams and thank you for the things you’ve done,” said Mang Pepe. “ Thanks too, lolo. But are okay now lolo?” “ Of course,” Mang Pepe replied. “ Lolo, we’ve also brought the egg and the chicken,” exclaimed Juan. “ May I have it? Then come here,” said Mang Pepe. Juan gave Mang Pepe the chicken and the egg. They gathered around the table and put the egg on the center. After a while, the egg was hatching and four crystals appeared. These crystals went to Toni, Juan, Cathy, and Potpot. “ Okay. I fulfilled my promise to you four that you will have one like Marsha’s. these crystals contains powers. Yours Toni contains the power of love, the power to love the chickens and other animals. Yours Juan has the power of healing the animals. Yours Cathy contains the power of the prediction. You can predict anything, including what will happen to the animals around you. While yours Potpot has the power to understand what the animals are saying,” explained Mang Pepe. “ Thank you lolo!” said the five. “ We promise to use these powers in the right way,” said Marsha. “ Yes lolo! We will,” continued Cathy.
Many months have passed and Mang Pepe’s poultry was growing and progressing. His grandchildren was also helping him and these five also conduct some outreach program to these domesticated animals.
“ Potpot, come here and we’ll play,” shouted Toni. Hurriedly, Potpot went to his sister to play. “ Toni, can you feed the chickens?” asked Mang Pepe. “ After we play lolo,” answered Toni. “ How about you Cathy and Juan, water the plants.” “ Yes lolo! ”
Toni forgot what she has to do. Mang Pepe saw that the chickens were not yet fed. He also saw that the plants were not properly watered. He did these things again. Mang Pepe was very tired. But he didn’t yet fed the chickens. He got the chicken pellets and started to fed them. “ Marsha, can you lend me some help here? ” “ Yes, lolo!” Marsha went to his lolo. “ Lolo, are you okay? ” asked Marsha. “ I’m….I’m… ” Mang Pepe didn’t even got the chance to tell that he was feeling dizzy. Mang Pepe fainted and fell. “ Lolo…lolo! Hey, help me here, ” shouted Marsha. The five helped to carry their lolo. They waited for their lolo to wake up. They did everything they could. They called a doctor. The doctor said that their lolo has an incurable disease.
One morning, their lolo woke up. Everyone was surprised to see him awake. “ Tomorrow , early morning, wake up early. Go to the poultry. You will notice a chicken which will get out of it’s cage.

LIFE IN THE NEXT CENTURY
It has been a great question that what could happen in the next century? How would you like to step in the future and see yourself in the dream house of tomorrow? Life in the home of tomorrow will be very different from today. It will reflect the advances of science.
Perhaps you will be living in a multi-storey building. Modular units will be there. You are going to fly up to the room you want to go with your anti-gravity belt. Your home will have a lot of buttons for you to choose. Each button has its’ use. For example you push a button and the TV comes out. A conveyor will bring your books and even you to any parts of your house. After a while, your phone rings and your boyfriend appear on your TV screen. He is visiting his uncle in Mars and will go to Pluto to get some ice. He will be talking to you from there with a very clear signal. Then you will answer, hoping that you look pretty and great enough to be seen in his screen. You push a button and the stereo brings soft music into the room. Push another button and the lights in your bedroom go off.
You go into the kitchen. Here you just push a few buttons and your electronic stove will cook your meal the way you want it. Your food will come from factories that grow new supplies of food in great vats of chemicals under artificial lights. It is kept fresh for months by atomic sterilization. You won’t need a refrigerator. Another push-button will bring your food to the table; another will pour your coffee. Ultrasonic waves will wash the dishes.
The morning newspaper will roll off facsimile machine right in your living room. You are going to wear paper cloths. They will be desirable and attractive and so cheap that you can throw them away after a few washings.
Studying will be a lot easier. You won’t even have to go to school .if you want to study algebra; you go to a library and borrow a tape on the subject. You turn the tape on, and a memory machine feeds all the information into your head while you are sleeping .you wake up in the morning refreshed. What’s more you will be able to understand algebra
You will have a lot of leisure time because you don’t have to work too hard. Machines will do the work for you will travel to the moon or visit as star in another galaxy. That will be no problem. Your space car will run on atomic energy and will take you there in a short time. In fact, atomic and solar energy will replace oil, gas, and petroleum as sources of energy.
Advances in science will produce new and better medicines. Today, scientists are about to find a cure for cancer, common cold, and most other diseases. Tomorrow these diseases won’t even exist. Your great, great grandmother will be living on the moon. She will be strong and healthy and won’t look a year older than 30. But she will be 300 years old by then. She will have a mechanical heart, an artificial leg, and artificial eyes, nose, and mouth. But no one will know the difference. For science will by this time have discovered how to make life longer and how to replace your worn-out body organs with mechanical parts. Are all these things possible or are these just fantastic, impossible dreams? Scientists are slowly but surely discovering and unraveling the mysteries of our universe. For now they have the tools that can extend our senses far beyond their natural power. Man will continue to make better devices with this devices, he will be able to unlock the secrets of the universe.
