AWAKENING

That was absolutely a disaster and definitely alarming! I'm referring to the tragedy brought to us by  typhoon ONDOY . He totally lambasted this country with  vengeance, leaving with so many fatalities,  many families were left homeless,lots of destruction of both private and public properties, not to mention the trauma and  unending anguish for those who lost their loved ones .I guess what partly caused the sudden and abrupt rise up of rain water through out Central Luzon were this unresolvable issue of illegal logging, and  the poor sewage system.Thus makes me wonder shouldn't be this problem must be government's priority concern, especially the drainage system? after all the primary reason of having chosen them run this nation  is because we believe in their uprightness and sincerity to serve the Filipino people.    In the other hand, that incident also served, as an awakening . Maybe God wants to relay a message to us, something like... slow down for a while children, pause for awhile and meditate, you've been too busy lately, doing your own thing. Imagine, based from the weather bureau information, the heavy rain that took place   within six hours only,aside from the gusty wind brought by typhoon ONDOY was comparable to a month downpour of heavy rain already. What amazed me  was to discover some celebrities on top of  their rooftop waiting helplessly to be rescued as well.Thinking that their houses are concrete and tall, I couldn't help but wonder.... how about those living in small houses and in shanties who are referred to as less privilege.
But just the same, as the saying goes "After the rain comes sunshine", we filipinos are forever hopeful , we never lose our anticipation for a brighter tomorrow, in spite all the catastrophes that come our way.And what really inspires me a lot is the "bayanihan spirit " we filipinos are born with, wherever we may be .It comes out within us naturally, especially during calamities like this. Always ready to extend a helping hand to those who are in need.But at the same time, may THIS serve as an awakening to all of us, that nobody is spared when the finale comes.

PARENTHOOD ( the edited edition )

Sheirly gave up a lot of things just to raise her 3 kids to the best of her ability. Due to too much pressure of being a single parent, she became an authoritarian, and insensitive to their feelings and personal dreams. She thought she has all the right to dictate to them what she wants regardless of how they feel, for after all she was the mother and she expected them to just follow her rules and, no questions ask.
In a way I sympathize w/ Sheirly,because me too happens to be a single parent.It's no easy to be in our shoe.I experienced the pleasure and pains of being a single mom.The pressure of  responsibilities and   accountability were all  attributed to me for being one.But despite  all these I still feel blessed for God has given me someone to hold on to,He gave me a wing beneath my wings, my sister.Always ready to give us an unconditional and never ending support and love.Thus making me less stress compared to Sheirly.
What I want to emphasize is that,all parents are only after the betterment of their children.We are ready to sacrifice our personal pleasure just to ensure our kids future.We are ready to face the hardships and trials that come our way  for their sake.After all the pleasure of being a  parent helps us forget our sufferings and burden , and the pains enhance us to hope of a better tomorrow for them.
Going back to Sheirly,  Though I don't agree with her,  I'm not in the position to condemn her. For me what is important, is we don't go beyond our limits as parents to our children. As the saying goes "different folks with different strokes". As long as we sincerely and in all honesty  ensure that,  everything we do for our kids is out of love and concern for their  future. Parents are no perfect, we too are just human, that is why In the course of doing our responsibilities as parents we also commit  mistakes. We do our best, and  because nothing is enough so we just surrender to God our limitations.

MY GRANDCHILDREN

Commonly, a woman refers her hair as her "crowning glory".I may sound, unusual but every time I think about my GRANDCHILDREN, like how they please me w/ their individuality,abilities,capabilities and uniqueness, can't help feeling proud.For me they are my angels, my CROWN and my GLORY.They always bring excitement to my so called unenthusiastic life.They complete me, and make me feel a substantial being.
When I got married, I became a wife, when I gave birth to my loving children, I became a mother, but becoming a grandmother,completes me not only as a woman but as a person.I could say they are the reason behind why I evolve into what I am now.
When I became a parent,I wasn't as ready as yet. I was then emotionally unprepared.But then, I had to face all the responsibilities and endurance of becoming one.As a grandmother,I have but only shared responsibilities,no burden, only the experiences of felicity and optimism.
Five out of six of my grandchildren don"t live w/ us,they only come to visit us every now and then.Every time they come to the house for a visit,I make it a point that every moment is enjoyed to the fullest.Never a dull moment w/ my grandchildren.I love them dearly,aside from my children they are my life,my inspiration and what keeps me going.

MY BROTHER WAS MURDERED

A week from now is the seventh year death anniversary of my older brother.He died from an unnatural death.He was brutally murdered by a man under the influence of some dangerous drugs, in the comfort of his own home.He was 57 yrs. old when he died or killed.At that time I was out of the country.My family decided to keep the whole incident from me.But as I recall , on that particular day, exactly 6 yrs.,11 months, and 15 days,miles and miles away from the crime scene " I COULD FEEL SOMETHING was HAPPENING", though I couldn't explain what.The whole incident was divulged to me not until I came home in the year 2005 for vacation, which makes it almost 3 yrs. after my brother's dreadful end.As I was listening to my sister-in-law,uncovering to me the whole scenario of that brutal murder,I was experiencing mix emotions, and they were all HATRED, MEANNESS,MERCILESSNESS,all the negative emotions you can think of against my brother's assailant. Today almost 7 yrs. have passed,the most awaited promulgation of verdict came .MY BROTHER'S AGGRESSOR WAS PRONOUNCED GUILTY BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT OF HOMICIDE,sentenced from 12 to 17 yrs. of imprisonment.How do I feel about it? Honestly, I don't know anymore,there is only one thing I hope for, that our justice system will improve for I believe in JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED,for me the sentence given was not enough, 17 years is too light for a murder case like that one of my brother, I know that wasn't just a homicide case, but a premeditated murder, a malicious killing of a person.My only consolation is the idea that my brother is now happy,free from all pains and burden.He's now w/ my parents IN THE COMFORT OF THEIR REAL HOME with OUR "CREATOR".

F A I T H

I'm not trying to be HOLY, for obvious reasons I'm far, far,far behind from being one,though I would like to think my faith is unalterable. I do believe in the saying "FAITH MOVES MOUNTAINS". In fact, there are quite number of instances that this old "cliche' ", has been proven already, based from my personal experiences. I'm not the so called, "PRAYERFUL PERSON", but often times I do talk to"HIM" in my own special way.Seldom do I ask for material things, though I'll sound cheat if i say they are not important to me.Yes,the things that I sometimes pray for,are categorized as material things I guess,BUT often times I'm appealing for good health,safety and endurance not for me but for the people I love, and that's my FAMILY who happens to be my greatest concern.

Nobody is perfect,each and everyone of us has his own vulnerability.Like me, my weakest point are my family,relatives and some of my close friends( in that particular order).I hate to find them in a situation, wherein they are hurting,abuse,harass and in pain. I could hardly control my emotions when it concerns them.But most of the time I rely on my FAITH.I believe that when ones faith is intact, nothing would go wrong.Yes, at times life is difficult but somehow FAITH makes things calm and manageable.FAITH, helps straighten my wickedness and indignity.
FAITH KEEPS ME going during hard times and most of all FAITH strengthen my individuality and anticipations..

I AM WHAT I AM

i’m my own person,i have my own views,beliefs, and judgment . nobody can change that. i may look naive , but inside me is clever. i don’t react easily, but when i do , GOD HELP ME… some people i know may attempt to persuade me , but to no avail. i know how to listen , and try to weigh things up , to give them a chance, but still the final verdict is mine ’cause i’m still my own person.

A PERSON’S IDIOSYNCRASY SHOWS HIS ORIGIN

A person who refuses to move on and simply wants to linger in the past is a "LIVING DEAD".He is the kind of person who blames his downfall to other people, when in fact all his pains, hurts, failures and frustrations are all attributed to him. Destroying people's life  is his satisfaction.My son commented "Ma' most likely this person is suffering from an EMOTIONAL and PERSONALITY DISORDER. From a real man point of view I think his assessment is as good as mine. If  a woman is the one responsible for posting this add I may say this is quite understandable, but from a so called MAN? isn't it eccentric and amusing?

We were referring to this add entitled RIPOFF .. ek ek.The one who created this,is kind of a miserable,wicked creature.. Too bad, in fairness to him, he got talent in composing stories and expressing his views. And I guess he's a computer expert, based on his malicious adds and other composition against the subject..And another thing that amuse me is his ability to create different accounts, so he could  spy on us. I wonder what  motive and satisfaction he gets from doing this.One thing that's funny, they are all women names,maybe he loves to have one soon.  If only he'll use these aptness for matters of substance it could be an advantage to him instead of ruining other people's lives. It would be  of great value if he'll make use of his capabilities for the betterment of himself as a person.  When I talked to his subject about this, she just laugh it off. According to her if we give attention to this kind of issue, we will never progress and besides there are more important matters to attend to.In a way she is right based on her attainment  and accomplishments right now..I just could not comprehend why there are people like "HIM".Does he need a professional help? or sympathy from the people who are partly to be blame for molding him of what he is now. After all,I believe a person's idiosyncrasy  only shows his ORIGIN.

WHAT MAKES A MAN REEL OR WOBBLY

I believe that there is a slim distinction between masculinity and femininity. sometimes a man who gives extraordinary importance in their so called MACHO IMAGE is bizarre to my assessment. I wouldn’t be surprise if later on he will be prov en otherwise.This we call effeminate.I notice a distinct characteristic this personality is born with, he doesn’t face his battles fair and square.He tends to be deceptive in every move he takes.He loves to play his own kind of game, b/c he thought he gets even every time he do so, though he knows very well, he’s just fooling himself. He simply appears ridiculous, though it doesn’t matter to him b/c that’s how he satisfies his ego. Sad to say he is such a lousy opponent, but that’s the way he plays his game, This characteristic is very significant w/ women also. Another characteristic that i know is he loves to play around w/ girls, he is never satisfied w/ any relationship he is involve w/. He tends to put the blame to his mate, his children, even GOD, everybody and everything except HIMSELF. By that he justifies his act and foolishness.The irony of it is he’ll keep looking and searching and experimenting…. until he gets old he’s still confuse of what he is really looking for. I consider these kind of men suffering from personality disorder.That’s why girls you must be smart and clever enough in choosing your so called MR. RIGHT, IF YOU want your man to be REAL .for it’s beyond good looks, masculinity, virility, machismo and all those adjectives you can think of for a man to be really genuine. Understand what I mean?

IT CAME TO MY RESCUE WHEN I WAS ALREADY IN THE BRINK OF GIVING - UP, OF ATTAINING BACK THE ONCE SMOOTH, BLEMISH FREE AND BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION I HAD DURING MY YOUNGER DAYS.I TRIED A BUNCH OF BEAUTY PRODUCTS, AND WENT TO SOME BEAUTY CLINICS. PERHAPS, I WAS EXPECTING SOME MIRACLES..BUT THEN, THE EFFECTS WERE EITHER DISAPPOINTING OR TEMPORARY...UNTIL MS.MHAAN INTRODUCED THE PRODUCT TO ME 41/2 YRS. AGO. AFTER USING THE CREAM FOR 3 DAYS, THE EFFECT WAS SIMPLY AMAZING AND HAD A VERY SIGNIFICANT RESULT ON MY SKIN, NOW I'M STILL ENJOYING THE WONDERFUL EFFECT IT DID TO MY SKIN .NEVERTHELESS, IT ALSO HELPED IMPROVE MY PERSONALITY AND GAVE ME BACK MY CONFIDENCE, THAT'S WHY I REALLY LOVE THIS CREAM

HAVE BEEN THE CENTER OF CONTROVERSIES AND INTRIGUES , BUT NO REGRET .THIS IS THE KIND OF PERSON I AM, I STAND FOR WHAT I BELIEVE IN AND STATE MY UNSOLICITED COMMENTS EVEN IF I HAVE TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCES LATER ON. BUT THEN, IMPOSING FOR WHAT I COUNT UPON TO OTHERS, MUCH MORE TO THOSE IN THE OPPOSITE CAMP IS NOT AND NEVER WILL BE MY INTENTION. I JUST WANT TO EXPRESS WHAT I FEEL, AND SAY WHAT I MEAN. I REALLY LOVE THE PRODUCT AND RELY ON IT. THAT'S WHY, I DEFENDED IT AND THAT INCLUDES THE DEALER WHO INTRODUCED THE PRODUCT TO ME. UP TO THIS MOMENT , MY OPINION REMAINS DEFINITE, NEVER WILL IT CHANGE, UNLESS SOMETHING ELSE HAPPEN.

I JUST HOPE YOU GOT GRAY MATTERS IN BETWEEN YOUR EARS SO YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN , AND FOR THOSE QUESTIONING MY GRAMMAR .... AREN'T YOU AWARE THAT YOURS IS THE....WORST ?.... IT ONLY PROVES THAT THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE LITTLE KNOWLEDGE USUALLY TALK THE MOST AND MAKE THE GREATEST FUSS.

A MAN WITH AN AMBITION, COMPARED TO AN AMBISYOSA

I’ve been thinking lately these two words, they seem similar but in a way different,w/ AMBITION and AMBISYOSA.For me a person w/ ambition is one who is determined to reach whatever goal he/she wants to attain, he/she works hard just to get what he/she wants to accomplish. He depends on no one for whatever he wants to achieve. A person w/ ambition is willing” to burn his brow” not only for his future but most of all for the people he loves. A person w/ ambition is SELFLESS, and always think a bright future ahead especially for his family. but one thing is certain a person w/ ambition has values , never will he use other people or “step on another person’s toe” just to achieve his goal.

On the other hand an ambisyosa for me, is similar to a “social climber”, pretending to be what she is not, and never will be . Loves to mingle w/ influential personalities and people she wants to be identified w/ though she knows she’s exactly the opposite . If she fails what she wants to achieve, she tends to blame her failure either to her partner or her family. Her motives are always SELFISH. An ambisyosa, is always focus on herself , what’s to her advantage, nobody and nothing else. Her no. one priority is herself , she doesn’t give a damn if her family suffers in her determination to achieve something. She’s also a great pretender, pretending to be a loving , and sweet person when in fact she is not.For sure she’s a failure.
