Mr. Yuson used to be into hunting. You can see it right away the moment you enter his house. When he was younger, he would be carrying his rifle complete with rifle scopes) with him all the time. You see, Mr. Yuson lived up the mountains with his grandpa so carrying his rifle with him was also a protection.

He went down and lived in the city when he turned 23. The time he lost his grandpa. Since then, he would occasionally go up in the mountains to check his old home and to hunt. But he’s not capable of doing that anymore since he got into a car accident. He can’t hunt anymore but he has his memories to share with those who would listen.

Having experienced it myself, I know that the death of a loved one can bring so much pain in a person’s heart. It can bring depression and the person can feel like he/she has reached rock bottom. It’s not easy getting over it and moving on.

There are depression rehab treatment centers for those who need it. When a woman’s son died due to cancer at the young age of 15, she was naturally devastated. It took her two years to recover and even longer to move on. Good thing she had the overwhelming support of her family and relatives. What about those persons without families at their side?

It’s okay to mourn a loved one who died. It’s okay to get sad and even depressed for a while. But if you see someone being so depressed months after a loved one’s death, do something about it. Get him/her treated! There are rehab centers for the depressed.

You can see that celebrity kids nowadays carry with them gadgets that are “in” and it doesn’t matter if the gadget is intended for someone older. One celebrity kid was shown on TV and he proudly told the reporter that he has a laptop, a black berry tablet, an Android phone, a psp and some other gadgets that I only heard from him. Imagine that!

I can’t stop myself from being envious! Can you imagine a kid aged ten having all those stuff and I am 33 and the only gadgets I own are a desktop, a very old smartphone, and a broken laptop! Life! Ha-ha-ha!

My neighbor is offering horse riding lessons to boys and girls from eight to sixteen years old. They have a farm not far from the city. He can bring the participants there and get them back. Everyday. Classes will start from six in the morning so participants will have to be at his house by five in the morning. It will end around noon. So they will all be back after having lunch at the farm.

He will provide the apparel including the equestrienne and equestrian boots as well as other stuff a participant will need. Of course, the fees will include that and he is willing to show the breakdown of the amount he will be charging each participant. Not surprisingly, most of our neighbors’ kids would like to join the lessons.
