About Paul's Life, Sex and Dreams

About Paul's Life, Sex and Dreams - is a series of his personal experiences. So far, I already have finished writing part eight and I am about to start writing part nine, ten and more. This is open for your critiques (positive or negative feedback are all welcome). On this story - I wanted to prove something that on writing an auto biography or a biography - the author should become familiar about the Life, Sex and Dreams of that person.

 

For Paul - dreams are about the expression and visualization of solid thoughts, emotions and ideas that signal about what he wants and what he needs for his physical life. For him dreams need physical works and efforts. They help him develop his future. Dreams give him strength to face the natural world of his choice to reach success in life. 

37 years ago, Paul has visualized becoming an accountant and a writer. He knew his parents could not afford to send him to school to finish those courses he had wished for. However, he did not give up dreaming. In 1976, he was about sixteen year old and had just finished his elementary; he decided to leave his parents.


Contrary to the will of his parents, Paul still had left them and lived the way he could have to. He said that living away from his family was not easy and productive. He had slept under pine trees robustly standing around their town plaza. He had used some old scrap cardboard and old newspapers as his gasket and bedding.  Sometimes, he had slept on the height of the tower of their town church. Other times inside the waiting shades and fish market along with other deserted children. He had become immune from the mosquitoes bites, salty smells and the freezing darkness. 

There were nights he was weeping, remembering his family but the homesickness for them did not change his decision. He made friendship with those children who were also at his age. He mingled with them like one family with the same fate. Thus, it became easier for him to be with them. The fish market was their source of living: Lifting of goods from market vendors in exchange of some money to be divided equally among themselves were exciting and memorable experiences for them.

Until Paul worked with a construction group, located in front of Felipe Abrigo National Memorial School of Arts and Trades (FANMSAT) now known the Southern Samar National School of Arts and Trades (SSNSAT) in the town of Guiuan, Eastern Samar. At first he felt intense pain on his body, prickly fingers and feet but despite heavy and hard works he was happy to receive the 15 pesos for a day’s work. 

There were nights he was anxious. He could not sleep in the barracks due to chronic fatigue and pains. He wept and I wanted to go home but the advent of the future surpassed what he felt – especially when day time came he was watching hundreds of young students entering the school gate, he pretended he was one of them carrying books and notebooks. And the difficulty and fatigue from hard works eventually disappeared.

Six months later, the constructions of the five units of apartments were done. Paul and other construction workers have moved to another project which was a three-story building owned by a Chinese businessman. But before leaving the place, Paul stood up in front of FANMCAT with his promise that he shall return to study high school.

In 1994, Paul again had dreamed to go abroad. He was lucky though because he did not experience much difficulty in acquiring an overseas job. His uncle-in-law who at that time was a chief accountant of the company Kawasaki Helicopter Saudi Arabia – Finance Department helped him get his current job by recommending him to the administrator of the company. A Philippine based recruitment agency, FB Allan processed his papers and he was able to go out of the country as a documented OFW. Read More: Travel Abroad

Paul believes that education and learning can be achieved anywhere and any time but it will depend on the person’s willingness to learn. It either by books and other reading materials, schools and a home study program. Paul was a product of a home study program. He started his creative writing course with The Writers Bureau in Manchester, London in 1999 by mail. Paul said that home study program is best for people who have no time to go school and who are busy working. Read More: Education by Mail

Paul is thousand miles away from his children. It is really hard for him to make available for his kids according to what John Gottman says, "Men must allow themselves to be aware of their feelings so they can empathize with their children. Then they must take whatever steps necessary to make themselves available to their kids." Read More: Children Obligation

Paul believes that sex education should be taught to young ones with values – needed to reduce premarital sex, early marriages and moral depravity. The youth should be trained to become responsible and morally upright citizens. Children and youths should be taught how to cultivate values and how to admire them. All these should be integrated with sex education – to help them appreciate the beauty of sex as a gift of God to mankind in the context of marriage not from what they discovered from pornographic magazines and video shows.

As recorded on Paul’s journal, he said that it is vitally important too to learn the language of the host country – this is needed especially for immigrant workers when talking to people of that country who cannot speak English language. Read More: Learn Other Language

When Paul started his adventures on far away lands – some people found him as a dreamer. Others found him uncultured brute. His peers and friends described him as friendly animal and can kick you off when it is needed. But for Paul what the people were talking about him were just the downside of his true nature. Yes. Paul admitted that he sometimes acted as a wild beast. However, there were also people have admired him. Read More: Featured on Print and Online

It is Really Hard to Make Myself Available for My Kids But I did it...

Cover of The Heart of Parenting

I quote here what John Gottman, author of The Heart of Parenting says, "Men must allow themselves to be aware of their feelings so they can empathize with their children. Then they must take whatever steps necessary to make themselves available to their kids." In my case I am thousand miles away from my children - it is really hard to make myself available for them. However, I did it...

Twenty-five years ago, I got married. During those years, we're blessed with three lovely children. Now they are young ladies. Our eldest is 22 year old. Our second daughter is 20 year old and our youngest is 19 year old - who is now on her 4th year accountancy.

During their early age - from their elementary, high school life and college days, my support is always there - not only for financial support but also to assist them with their school projects and other assignments. In spite, I am thousand miles away from them, if they needed my help for their school assignments - I am always available through Internet and mobile phones - one of the many reasons why I created my blog sites.

Year 2010, my 2nd daughter graduated from Computer Science Course.

Three months before her graduation, her English teacher gave her an assignment to write a short speech for Vice President Candidate plus another two questions that a Vice President Candidate should answer if his countrymen would ask him/her during his/her speech. That would be her projectand if she failed to submit she could not graduate according to her teacher.

After she received her assignments, she sent them to me immediately through email said, "Papa I need your help. Please write a short speech for vice president candidate. Also include these two questions: What kind of advocacy you want to proclaim to prevent the poverty in this country? and How would you balance federal foundation for transportation and road construction?"

Reading those questions was really a headache - I am not the one to graduate...but I cannot said no to my daughter. I have no choice but to comply her request. So, I started surfing the Internet, encyclopedias and other reading materials for information about the topics.

A short speech of a vice president candidate:

Thank you so much for the trust that you have trusted to me. Thank you for this opportunity to work with you as we raise the truthful reform. Thank you for the privilege that you have entrusted me of joining in the fight for a clean, honesty, integrity and trustworthy in public service, and for a government that puts first the people’s interest.

From the bottom of my heart, I accepted the challenge to achieve the true reform of good governance of this country. But this fight is not just about me. It is about our collective thirst and hungry for change.

My friends, this is going to be a tough battle. My opponents will use all forces in order to win. They have been there for so long and continuing robbing us. Now with your help, we should stop them. Let's stay hand in hand in this field of battle.

What kind of advocacy you want to proclaim to prevent the poverty in this country?

My Advocacy: The Filipinos should adapt the correct attitude.

Executives from rich countries who communicate with their counterparts in poor countries show that there is no significant intellectual difference. Race or skin colors are also not important: immigrants labeled lazy in their countries of origin are the productive power in rich European countries.

What is the difference then? The difference is the attitude of the people, framed along the years by the education and the culture and flawed tradition. The behaviors of the people in rich and developed countries are greatly followed the following principles in their lives such as:

(1) Ethics, as a basic principle.
(2) Integrity.
(3) Responsibility.
(4) Respect for the laws & rules.
(5) Respect for the rights of other citizens.
(6) Work loving.
(7) Strive for savings & investment.
(8) Will of super action.
(9) Punctuality.
(10) And of course...Discipline

Philippines is not poor because we lack natural resources or because nature was cruel to us. In fact, we are supposedly rich in natural resources. We are poor because we lack the correct attitude. We lack the will to comply with and teach these functional principles of rich and developed societies.

We are the most abusive to the environment - Illegal Logging, dynamite and cyanide fishing, hunting and poaching of birds and wildlife. We throw garbage everywhere.

How would you balance federal foundation for transportation and road construction?

I believed that building roads in rural areas promotes development through improved access to markets; health and educational facilities; the generation of alternative income sources; and better information flows.

My assumption being that the supply of transport services, such as freight and passenger movement, would naturally follow new road construction.

In the Philippines with a tradition of building roads with Portland cement concrete, here is now a considerable network of ageing roads needing rehabilitation. The traditional method of treating these roads is to neglect them until the ride becomes severely impaired and then to break out the old concrete and replace them with new.

I would request the Philippine Department of Highways to improve this situation by addressing the problem of concrete quality, using indigenous materials, and investigating alternative methods of rehabilitation.

But what is of more vitally important – I would coordinate directly to the national budget commission and request them to see to it that before releasing the funds for this project, there should be complete planning and specifications of materials and all the supposedly incurred expenses should have a corresponding transparency of expenses records available for the public.

My hard works were compensated to receive my daughter's reply

It took me three days to finish the project for my daughter. After I done it, immediately I sent it off to my daughter. And in two days, I received her reply said, "I love you papa. It was approved. Now I will graduate. Thank you so much. Muaaaaaaaa...!" My hard works were compensated to receive my daughter's reply.

If Children Ruled The World There Will Be No Heinous Crimes

The world would not become a den of several criminal crimes such as war, graft and corruption, terrorism, rebellion, cheating, drug addiction, rape, smuggling, kidnapping, sex slavery and prostitution, child abuse, spousal abuse and other heinous crimes.

There will be no impeachment trials of presidents, chief justices of supreme court like what is happening now in the Philippines. There will be no martial law to be imposed to a certain country as there will be no rebellion acts against any governments. There will be no demonstrations and rallies to check the wrong doings of government officials.

However, we should know also that kids can be much crueler than adults. The world would be like a big trash pile because children don’t put anything away. The world would become messier and full of lost things. And the rate of development would be slower because children want something just for fun and are apt to ignore something related to world development.

The world would experience more humorous trial and error because children don’t think as carefully as adults do. Children might ignore adults also because adults don’t have power. Adults would feel lonely and some of them might try to commit suicide due to their situation.

And the world would be a disaster unless an adult were behind every child. If the children were in the congress and senate they would talk just about funny things and they would play all the time.

If they were bank directors they would spend all the money on games, candies or parties. Adults would have to work not to receive money but toys, candies and chocolate. Most school classes would disappear. The world would become rough and wild. And no one would like to be adults and parents would feel very sad!
What an awful image of the world!
