Hey its ur birthday

-
Dapat pala 22 ka na. You probably would have a boyfriend by now (kung nakalusot kay nanay at sa amin). At that age, you could have started your own career, which reminds me, we haven’t really asked what you wanted to be. There are tons of “ifs” in our minds. As reality bites, July 23 and October 20 are constant reminders of how you brought colors to our family. These dates never fails to allow us to reminisce with happy tears your days with us.  

Vividly remembering your natal day, it was noon noong pinanganak ka. It was too hot, kaya naman buong hapon ka naming pinaypayan. I never went back to school that day. Everyone was excited of your presence. You were lolo’s only granddaughter (dadalawa lang kasi kayo ni Riva). I also remembered that incident in 1991 when a strong earthquake hit, at dadalawa lang tayo at home with manang and while we were panicking, you were laughing and enjoying the earth’s motion. Your scheming grin at the dining table when you thought of something. Those were just some of the memories I have of you.

You are immeasurably missed. Happy Birthday +Zipporah!

Experts says that when the mind is negative, poisons are released into the blood, which causes more unhappiness and negativity. This is the right and only way to failure, frustrations and disappointment.  Positive mind, on the other hand, anticipates happiness, joy, health and a successful outcome in every situations and actions. The mental attitude that expects good and favorable results radiates not only in the specific situations but also through our auras and instinctively, it also affects the people around us. Whenever you feel like punching someone's irritating face or kicking their as*es try these: Get Creative - Whenever you feel that nega...

Ode to Tatay

It is not about how long you lived, but how well you did.  Indeed you lived well. We remembered…people did. July 29 was the saddest homecoming I ever had. The weather is gloomy, the heaven is crying with us and the lights are out. The whole universe seems to be mourning with us as we lost the pillar of our home, the very person we see as epitome of strength of character and selflessness. We lost our father. Our lives will never be the same again; every meal will not be the same. A vital fraction of our every smile, the pillar who keeps us amidst life’s adversities is lost. Your sudden death is almost unbearable to us, your sons and nanay. Yet the stories of people you have touched lessen the pain. Indeed, you fulfilled the dream of leaving your good name as a legacy to your family. We felt their love, prayers for strength and support. To your last days you ensured that we will not be thoroughly burdened, that there will be people who will be with us…. to help us, support ...
