BE HAPPY!


 All people, good or bad, end up dying. Pero hindi naman ibig sabihin na maging masama ka na lang. Death levels  and renders everything useless. So habang buhay, be happy! That is his message! Inulit na naman niya—enjoy eating and drinking. Sabi niya, “Go! Eat your food with gladness! And drink your wine with joyful heart. For it is now that God favors what you do.” Kaya pag kumakain, huwag kayong nagmamadali. Enjoy your food. Huwag lunok nang lunok. Una, baka ka mabilaukan. Pangalawa, baka ka magkaroon ng indigestion. Pangatlo, ang pagkain masarap lang sa dila dahil nandun yung taste buds. Matapos lumampas yon at at nasa esophagus na, it is already tasteless. And then it becomes excess baggage. Kaya dapat hindi mo yan nilulunok agad kundi ninanamnam-namnam! Biruin mo, inilagay ng Diyos sa ating dila ang mga taste buds na yan. Magkalinya-linya pa yung taste ng asim, ng tamis, ng pakla, ng pait, ng alat. Linya-linya pa yan para talagang dahan-dahan mong nalalasap. Para masabi mo. “Wow! Ang sarap naman ng asim ng sukang Paombong! Napakasarap naman nitong asim ng magga at maalat ng bagoong.” Ang sarap-sarap! Tapos lulunukin mo lang agad? Kaya dapat, ninanamnam.
So, kung makikinig ka kay Solomon, dagdagan mo ang oras mo sa pagkain. Haba-habaan mo. Lalo na kung may mga kausap ka, when you have company. This is what life is all about. Kasi, sabi niya, baka bukas bigla ka nang matumba, mamatay ka na. So habang nandito ka, enjoy what is available. Sabi niya, be happy. It is important to be happy. Seize the moment. Huwag nang palampasin.
Maraming tao wala nang ginawa kundi magtipid. Tipid-tipid-tipid! “Kailan po tayo kakain ng masarap?” “Fifteen years from now anak. Makakakain na rin tayo ng masarap.” “Buhay pa ba tayo non?” I have seen so many people na walang ginawa kundi magtipid nang buong buhay nila. Nung namatay pinag-agaw-agawan lang tuloy yung namana ng kung sinu-sino. Do not allocate today’s blessings for tomorrow’s needs. Tomorrow’s needs will have tomorrow’s blessings. Kaya nga ang dasal, “Give us this day our daily bread.” Huwag nyo laging i-suspend o i-delay ang enjoyment. Kung minsan sadism na ang tawag don. Yung wala kang inisip kundi, “Balang araw mag-e-enjoy din ako.” Nandiyan ka pa ba non? Sigurado ka ba na nandiyan ka pa ba balang araw? Kaya importante, while we work and save for the future, we don’t neglect enjoying everyday. Today can be your last.
