Ahh!!! Little girls who had turned into ladies, wives, and grandmas....Girls Scouts in 1956

Sampaguita was composed at the turn of the century by Dolores Paterno who was related to Pedro Paterno, if not a sister to, the architect of Pact of Biyak na Bato agreement between the Spanish and Aguinaldo's revolutionary governments.

Sampaguita

Sampaguita ng aming lipi
bulaklak na sakdal ng yumi
Ikaw and mutyang pinili na sagisag ng aming lahi
At ang kulay mong binusilak
ay diwa ng aming pangarap
Ang iyong bango't halimuyak sa tuwi na'y aming nilalanghap
Oh bulaklak, na nagbibigay ligaya
Oh! paralumang mutyang Sampaguita
Larawang mistula ng mga dalaga
Ikaw tanging bituing-hiraman ng kanilang ganda.

Ang iyong talulot ang siyang tunay na sagisag
Ng sa dalagang puso'y wagas
Kayumian at pagkamatapat.

 English Version
Lovely bloom of the Sampaguita
by my Philippine maid beloved
Not a flow'r in the world is sweeter as you circle her lovely brow
In the daintiest collar clinging with one bud like a pendant swinging
'Round the neck of the gentle and beautiful one how happy and fortunate now
Beautiful flow'r, enchantment of fair Manila
With happiness fill her
Oh! bright Sampaguita
Beautiful flow'r
Oh! rest on her hair so lightly
Softly caressing touch her with blessing dear Sampaguita flow'r

Green of the garden beloved symbol of my dear maiden
Pure Sampaguita entreat her
To smile again my flower of flow'rs

How To Stay Young:

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening,
whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's 
workshop," the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

4. Enjoy the simple things. When the children are young, that is
all that you can afford. When they are in college, that is all that you 
can afford. When you are on retirement, that is all that you can afford!

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
Laugh so much that you can be tracked in the store by your
distinctive laughter.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be alive while you are alive, don't put out a mailbox on the highway of death and just wait in  residence for you mail.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it is family,
pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is 
your refuge.

8. Cherish your health. If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Go to the mall, the next country, a foreign country, but not to guilt country.

10. Tell the people you love, that you love them, at every opportunity.

11. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the
moments that take our breath away.
