This document contrasts modern life with life in the past. It notes that between birth and death is choice, and our choices determine what happens in our lives. It describes modern life as having become less - phones are cordless, cooking is fireless, youth are jobless, and leadership, government, police, and education have become worthless. It nostalgically recalls a simpler past when technology did not dominate and social interactions were face-to-face rather than online. The document concludes that behind everyday Tagalog phrases there is often truth, curiosity, knowledge, emotion, and purpose.

10. LIFE is from Bto D
Birth to Death
But between B & D is C..
It’s a CHOICE
What happens to our life depends on the
CHOICES we make.

Policies : Aim less
Labor : Effort less
Conduct : Worth less
Relations : Meaning less
Attitude : Care less

13. Feelings : Heart less
Education : Value less

And still our expectations are: END less

14. Life was so much simpler and worry less those days when…..
APPLE & BLACKBERRY were just fruits,
Girls giggled, not GOOGLED,
YAHOO was an overjoyed reaction,
No FACEBOOK, only smiling faces,
No TWITTER, but birds tweet…..
Those were the days!

15. There’s a little TRUTH behind every JOKE LANG,
a little CURIOSITY behind every WALA LANG,
a little KNOWLEDGE behind every AMBOT,
a little EMOTION behind every BAHALA GUD KA,
there’s a PURPOSE in every WALA AH,
a little HEARTACHE behind every OK LANG Uy,
SIMPLE but TRUE!

18. End
