"Learn To Appreciate The Simplicity Of Life"

There are many reasons to be happy,you just need to appreciate what you have
No matter how hard life is... we still find may reasons why we keep on existing...reasons why we keep on living.i am still very lucky that despite the hardship i am facing at this time, i am surrounded with many angels that keeps on guiding me along this journey...i am luckier than the people around the world who are dying of hunger...of poverty...of human inflicted sufferings.

Here in the Philippines alone, how many millions of Filipinos trying to make their lives better in trying to improve their lives alone...but in the end...much suffering is what
they owe. I pity them.. and i wanted to help them but i do not know how...because we are experiencing the same dilemma. Poor Filipinos.It is good that, still...we try to laugh along with these sufferings. We are cheerful people..optimistic!As long as i exist.. you exist...we exist...there are still many things to be done. Do not just exist. try to exist because of others...because others need you...because others are also existing because of you.

WORKING for SAFE & BETTER WORLD


Greeting every one working with patients all over this small world. I hope every one having Good Health which became No.1 Target for me and my group.

Priorly www.lap-surg.com has now become www.lap-surg.info, and was Ist for medical students and residents under training. Now this site is meant for Patients all over & health care providers, Health care Companies, Myself and a Small Group in the Middle East has seen and studied Health Care Systems in different Countries.

It was Shocking to us the difference in GDP Spending between developed and developing countries which made us think where G8 Countries & UN Form all that. Why people are dying from hunger in Africa or the Middle east or in other Countries, just login into UN or care.org of human rights watch, you will know what I am talking about, for which I build up this website, as a medium to exchange information and health education to People, teaching them their rights, especially in 3rd World Countries and all over the world .

I do Acknowledge the extensive work done by G8 and other Groups & we are all grateful to them, but we need to work as one group, A Team, and be very transparent to each other, and all organizations should unite in this Humanitarian task and bridge the Gap slowly and surely and we can save the world. So does the next generation do not blame us, as we all have children.

"A Very Inspiring Story"...about 2 filipino children

Written last November 2006. I thought of sharing this with the rest. :)



I was on my way home today when I noticed two children sleeping on the streetside while people pass them by. They were clad in ragged clothes,sharing a worn-out small blanket covering them as they soundly slept on a cardboard.The little girl and presumably her younger brotherlooked tired and oblivious to the surrounding. Even the heat of the sun. People who passed them by watched - most probably shared on common emotion at the sight: Pity.

Yet not one ever bothered to stop.I was tempted to walk away and go straight home because I was so sleepyand hungry yet but I thought that it couldn't hurt to take a closer look.Out of the blue, I just found myself bending on my kneesto wake them up to ask if they're okay. A lady who was probably one of the students in a nearby university bent beside me to look too.The little girl sat up, shaking the little boy beside her lightly. I asked where their parents are and she said that her mom died and they don't know where their father was.

The young woman beside me asked them who'staking care of them and the child said that their grandmother has been taking care of them but they couldn't get home because they had no transportation fare - the profit from the bananas that they sold did not suffice. Fortunately enough, she does know where her grandma is at.We told them to get up because we're bringing them to Jollibee (it's a fastfood restau Filipino version of McDonald's).

The children literally beamed. Every child wants Jollibee afterall!"This is going to be the first time that we'll eat here," the little girl said enthusiastically.You can never imagine how that statement touched me. I looked at Helena and she smiled back - perhaps equally touched as I was.We got the two children a hearty meal of chicken, spaghetti, mango pies and a chocomilk. Helena and I got ourselves some pancakes and corned beef.The kids grabbed the food in a heartbeat and I wondered when was the last time that they actually had a decent meal.

It made me tell myself onceagain that I should count my blessings.Helena, apparently, is a working student who came from a modest background that's why the sight of the two children sleeping on the streets had completely bothered her. She said that her family once went on days without eating rice -just cooking the leafy vegetables in their farm backyard until it wasn't enough.For me, the sight of these two children, hungryand lying in that cold cement was beyond pity. It was the thought that God gifted us with a sense of compassion for others as a beginning. How many of us feel compassion towards a homeless person...yet merely shaking our heads? Why not act upon that very essential emotion that God endowed us with?Our compassion for others remains useless if we merely settle at feeling the emotion, not acting on it.



No one is too broke or too weak to help another, afterall.Helena was strengthened by her experiences having given her the very essential empathy.She understood what these children felt because she experienced it herself. Amazing how our God works? Some of us might not understand why trials befall us...why some us need to go hungry...why some of usneed to be sick. Sometimes, we fail to realize that these obstacles are meant to turn us into better individuals - stronger, wiser, and more appreciative of what we have...eventually helping us understand the way to heaven."This tastes sooo good," the little boy smiled up at us."Because Jesus loves you," I smiled back, "

What is your name, little one?""Gabriel," he hesitated. Gabriel,
although he pronounced it as GAb-reyel.An angel.

The little girl's name is Joanna.Reminds me of Joan of Arc. ;)
Joanna is eight and the Gabriel, five.

When we finished eating, Helena volunteered to take the children home. We got them some take-outs to bring home and a small amount which I know would not suffice forever, but would help them now and today. I told Helena that I was so blessed to have met her...and she told me that she knows she'll see me again soon.I took a ride back home. A feeling of warmth washed over me. Today alone, I met not one, but three angels. I can't wait for tomorrow.I'll remember to include this in one of the bedtime stories that I will share with my children one day.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
