Hi Madam Choray, Little Madam Butterfly and Madam Chak Khan:
Many congratulations to you gals sa inyong mb din.
O pa post naman nito, if you may. Thank you kindly and congrats, again!!!!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Welcome to Our New World!!" This overbearingly and cutesy catchy motto or phrase that I lately kept uttering repeatedly since the birth of this (our) message board to the posters as well as to the "Gang of Four". However, may I appeal direct to those who will be the regular posters, and pals/kabalitaktakan/kalandian and "nemeses" as well of the Gang of Four and to the Gang of Four itself, let us not allow to be infected by infantile autism on this forum alone.
Let us not burn bridges. Let us not confine ourselves to "Our New World" instead let us explore and re-visit "World" of others. We should not erect walls. Let us reach out to others message boards. Regardless of our faith and religions, class or strata of society we belong, communities or group we are affiliated, we should help and support others. Apart regular visit to our mb, please continue supporting and posting in PBKT, Beyond Essence, Mabuhay and not to forget the new mb of Madam Choray (+ her group) et. al. Seize every opportunity and the day to see the "Whole Universe" and not only our "New World" or "Their World."
Do not burn bridges for you may never know that someday there are your partners or co-moderators or facilitators (as GSB implied) of a certain message board. [Now as to how and what is the difference between one and the other, assemble or call a meeting of the Gang of Four + One (La Luna) to find out]. But regardless of what you might want to call it, Facilitator is the job description of Galit sa Bobo, Didi, Udjak and Gul Bangag hence making this message board as our own and that's what makes this new but still un-named message board will make the difference.
2nd Appeal: If I may be allowed to be a conduit or the "bridge" to the groups or friends who are parted due to miscommunications = the "Gang of Four or the All for One and One for All" of GSB/.Didi/Gul/Udjak; Pawee/PBKT; Madam Choray and her group; we should include Ma. Makiling; Gerry Diaz and his group; Deybid of BE and his group. Past is past. Let bygone be bygone. We have to look forward and not backward.
Huwag sayangin ang dating pagsasamahan at pagkakaibigan. Dalai Lama in his wisdom shared, "Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship". Nagkasamaan ng loob (grudges), it's painful, ok,… but move on. Let us forgive but not forget the lesson.
If you are adamant not to forgive, you will carry the burden. Think and consider this "to refuse to forgive is to continue to hurt yourself. Victimized once, your lack of forgiveness keeps you stuck as a victim, holding on to a victim's identity. Instead, claim the identity of one who forgives."
Madaling sabihin pero mahirap gawin. Granted and it is true sometimes, when we have been wronged, bruised, angered or BETRAYED, it is difficult to forgive. But too much anger and resentment makes it hard for us to move on. All that pain we refuse to let go will bury us in a place we shouldn't get stuck in. After the hurt and anger should come healing, and healing can only take place if we allow ourselves to forgive. Madaling sabihin pero mahirap gawin (Translation: . It is easier said than done.).
Pero kailangan kang magsisimula??
Ako po ay nagpupugay sa lahat.
PS. I will post this as much as I can to other mbs, but pls anyone who is kind enough to post this to other mbs as necessary and as appropriate.
