May 2010 Election : The Story of the Corrupt Philippine Senator

We're just days away from the May 2010 Election here in the Philippines. Sharing you a story I got from Edel's Blog about how we should choose our future leaders.

Enjoy reading.

While walking down the street one day a Corrupt Philippine Senator was tragically hit by a car and died.

His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.

"Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you."

"No problem, just let me in," says the Senator.

"Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from the higher ups. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity."

"Really?, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the Senator.

"I'm sorry, but we have our rules."

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.

The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.

Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the Filipino people.

They played a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and the finest champagne.

Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who is having a good time dancing and telling jokes.

They are all having such a good time that before the Senator realizes it, it is time to go.

Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises...

The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens in heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him, "Now it's time to visit heaven."

So, 24 hours passed with the Senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.

"Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity."

The Senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: "Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell."

So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.

Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulders.

"I don't understand," stammers the Senator. "Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?"

The devil smiles at him and says,

"Yesterday we were campaigning ...Today, you voted."

PS1. Historically every after Election here in the Philippines the stock prices are going up. I would suggest that you can start investing NOW in stock market to have that strong headstart for your investments in the future. But before you do that be sure to equip yourself with enough financial intelligence. I suggest you meet my financial mentors who taught me a lot about my finances especially how money works.

The Universe of Blog and Financial Literacy

I am doing an unusual thing today. Usually, when I write articles here on my blog I directly encode them in blogger. This time, I’m using Microsoft Word. Why? I don’t know.

Haha…

Kidding aside, Honestly, I’m just looking for a synonym of the word “excited” that’s why I opened MS Word and then I decided to write the article here instead. Microsoft Word is handy with its thesaurus function.
So why in the world I searched for a synonym of the word “excited” because I want to have the right word to describe what I’m feeling right now.

What’s the magic word? I can’t find any. But I do have lot of words that eventually could sum up to the feeling I’m having right now and hopefully at the end of this post, I can figure it out.

A lot of things happened that makes me feel excited. First, the discussion with our financial mentor went well yesterday. We had a nice time. A lot of questions have been answered. I am now in the process of making an investment in stock market with the help of my mentor. She also introduces us to Trading Game in the Philippines Stocks Exchange website.

Also, in relation to this, I got a copy of Cashflow 202 eGame. This version takes the stock market to the next level that’s why I love it. J

I have a vision that I will be able to invest in stock market early next year before my 25th birthday.  I will be learning a lot of information about my own financial status and growth before year end.

It’s true that when you focus on something the universe is aligning all the things needed in order to fulfill our desires.

Speaking of focus, there’s another thing I’m focusing my attention to. Well, you see I’ve been a blogger for almost seven months now. I’m focused and determined to obtain that target Adsense earning. Honestly, sometimes I feel frustrated because seven months is quite long to earn my target earning in Adsense but hey that’s okay. A lot of bloggers out there took more than a year just to earn their first $100. I believe that this month I will be happy to see that I'm hitting my target earning in Adsense. Thanks to my blogs and more importantly to the upcoming Pacquiao-Cotto Fight (watch the Pacquiao-Cotto Fight online here).

By the way, I’m happy to say that my first blog reaches the PR2 mark. This is good news (to know more about that blog click here). I’ll be sharing my success story on how do I reach that PR2 status soon. So stay tuned.

I’m very positive that all of this will happen within the next couple of days. I know that the universe is doing all the things they can to bring me all the things I need to do, all the people I need to have and all the resources I need to obtain the things I desire.

I guess this is enough for now. Until my next post.


PS. Please feel free to provide the correct word that best describes my feeling right now. A free ebook about Adsense awaits the lucky winner.
