On this Day Jun 30, 2009 4:05 pm 2896 Views For hearing my thoughts, understanding my dreams and being my best friend... For filling my life with joy and loving me without end... ..I do.. Here we stand today, Like we always dreamed, Starting out our live together. Night is in your eyes, Love is in our hearts, I can't believe you really mine forever. I feel rehearse in for this moment in all my life, So don't act surprise, If the feelings start to carry me away. On this day, I promise forever. On this day, I surrendered my heart.. Here I stand, take my hand, And I will follow every word that i say On this day.. Not so long ago, This heart is just a fill, of golden lonely space without you.. Now everything's all right, Now everything's refill, And the story of my life, Is all about YOU. So if you feel the cold winds, blowing through your nights. I will shelter you and forever, here, that tears and your fear will fade away. On this day, I promise forever. On this day, I surrendered my heart.. Here I stand, take my hand, And I will follow every word that i say On this day.. 16 Comments

On my Day Jun 21, 2009 11:53 pm 2618 Views When I am down, Beside me you will walk. When I am scared, The fears you will lock. When I need someone to listen, You will just let me talk. When I want to cry, My tears you will block. Thank you for your love, Which is as strong as a rock. Thank you, for a strong love, a "present" on this "special day" of my life. 9 Comments

My Dear Dad Jun 13, 2009 7:32 pm 2271 Views You've been everything to me: a father, Teacher, playmate, model, conscience, friend. Sometimes I'm not certain why you bother, If your feelings on my words depend. I know I haven't been the child I should: Far from it, and I really can't say why. I know exactly what I'd label good, But in the real world something goes awry. Underneath my actions there is love, Gratitude, respect, and admiration. Sometimes I don't know what I'm thinking of, But I thank God you're in for the duration. I'm sorry, sorry for the things I do, But please believe I cherish MOM and YOU. Thanks Dad, Get Well Soon, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY 10 Comments

proud of being a PINOY May 30, 2009 5:56 pm 2870 Views What is being a Pinoy all about-- aside from pointing with our lips and having a small but terrible woman President? We talked among ourselves and try to come up with the best things about being a Noypi. I hope that these will make you smile and will make you laugh. Above all, i sincerely hope that these things will make you proud of being a Pinoy. "PO at OPO" Shows the importance and respect accorded to the elderly and the authority. Children in the Tagalog areas are taught (trained?) to say po and opo before and after every sentence. "PAMBAHAY" Ang isang Pinoy, naka-amerikana man sa opisina o kaya'y naka-uniporme sa eskuwela, ay siguradong magpapalit sa duster, puruntong, o kaya'y t-shirt pag-uwi ng bahay. At 'di tulad ng mga dayuhan na ang tsinelas ay sapatos pa rin, ang tsinelas ng Pinoy ay Spartan, bakya, o kaya'y abaca. Say what you think. Good, or indifferent. Let's show that FILIPINOS are among the nicest in the world. 115 Comments

LuLLaBy May 22, 2009 9:43 am 2254 Views "Rock-a-bye baby, on the tree top, When the wind blows, the cradle will rock, When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall, And down will come baby, cradle and all." I love singing my daughter to sleep... the above lullaby is a favorite. My girl simply adore the melody and she don't really mind the meaning of the words. It amuses her. Do you have a lullaby, you could share? ~ Goodnight FFF, Magandang Gabi ~ 12 Comments

A Mother Is.. May 9, 2009 3:53 pm 2104 Views A mom is? ..the one who loves you when the world is dark. ..the one who makes your bed when you forgot. ..the one who helps you get ready for that first date. ..the one who tells you the truth when the dress fits a little tight. ..the one who holds you as you cry after a fight with a guy or a friend. ..the one who lets you slam the door in her face and then opens it with love and forgiveness. ..the one who stands behind you in every fight. But what really makes a mom a mom is that she will always love you with all her heart. Thanks Mom HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY 10 Comments

Top Movies - What's yours? May 2, 2009 4:13 pm 2637 Views Hundreds, even thousands of movies are made yearly with the hopes of leaving a legacy. However, only the best of the best leave an imprint into the history of films. If you could have watched only a few movies in your entire life, what would it be? And what made it stand out above the rest? (If you can't think of 5, then 4 or 3 or 2 or 1) Mine is: 1) AZUMI Death or Love (Aya Ueto) - Take this film with a grain of salt. It is a fun, exciting, and a very long and enjoyable watch. It is well worth the time spent. The cinematography and acting are great. You will be pleasantly delighted. -(My daughter considered this film as her favorite)- 2) REMEMBER THE TITANS (Denzel Washington) - a very moving and powerful true-to-life story... drives home the point that if we could only see past our differences and work harmoniously together, then we can really achieve great things. This movie, can still bring tears to my eyes no matter how many times I watch it. 76 Comments

An Eye Opener Apr 25, 2009 3:33 pm 2373 Views If you say you love the Philippines, prove it. And if you don't agree with me, say something anyway. When I was a young child, the Philippine peso was P2.00 to the US dollar(exchange rate). The president was Diosdado Macapagal. Life was simple. Life was easy. My father was a farmer. My mother kept a small sari-sari store where our neighbors bought sang-perang asin, sang-perang bagoong, sang-perang suka, sang-perang toyo at pahinginang isang butil na bawang.. Our backyard had kamatis, kalabasa, talong, ampalaya, upo, batao, and okra. Our silong had chicken. We had a pig, dog & cat. And of course, we lived on the farm. During rainy season, my father caught frogs at night which my mother made into betute (stuffed frog), or just plain fried. During the day, he caught hito and dalag from his rice paddies, which he would usually grill on coals–thus we have inihaw. During dry season, we relied on the chickens, vegetables, bangus, tuyo, and tinapa. Every now and then, there was pork and beef from the town market. Life was so peaceful , so quiet, no electricity, no TV. Just the radio for Tia Dely, Roman Rapido, Johnny de Leon, Tawag ng Tanghalan and Tang-tarang-tang. And who can forget Leila Benitez on Darigold Jamboree? On weekends, I played with my neighbours (who were all my cousins), these childhood games -tumbang-preso, taguan, piko, luksong lubid, patintero, at iba pa. I don't know about you, but I miss those days. These days, we face the TV, Internet, e-mail, newspaper, magazine,grocery, catalogs, or drive around. The peso is a staggering and incredible P47.00 to the US dollar rate. Most people can't have fun anymore. Life has become a battle. We live to work and work to live. Here are some gruesome experiences of working abroad because in our homeland life and economic situation has become so hard and difficult to earn a living to support your family needs. Life is not easy. I was in Saudi Arabia in 1999. It was lonely, difficult, & scary there. It didn't matter whether you were a man or a woman. You were a target for rape. The salary was cheap & vacations few and far between. If the boss didn't want you to go on holiday breaks, you can't do anything but comply. What can you do anyway? They kept your passport. Oh, and the employment agency charged you almost 4 months of your salary (which, if you had to borrow on a "20% interest per month arrangement"), this means your first year's pay was all gone before you even earned it due to usurious interest on loans you have to get in order to leave the country to seek employment overseas. The Philippines used to be one of the most important countries in Asia.. Before & during my college days, many students from neighboring Asian countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan and China went to the Philippines to get their diplomas.. Like Thailand, they went to study agriculture in UP Los Banos and earned their bachelors degree in the Philippines. and now we import rice from them. It's the opposite now. The Philippines used to be the exporter of many agricultural products, but now that is no longer the case. Everything is different. We import goods and products because we do not have much land (farms) which our hard-working farmers can cultivate and develop to raise agricultural products for export. The reason behind this is that those self-serving, affluent and mostly anti-Filipino members of the private sectors are focused on developing mega houses, tall buildings, supermarkets, malls and other infrastructures– grabbing and buying out farms from impoverished farmers/land owners at a bargain or a steal. What happened now? What is the Philippine government doing? Checking their own pocket, their own personal interest and pork barrels. Wow! Until 1972, men like President Macapagal & President Marcos were once the most admired presidents of the world. (Not anymore!) The Peso had kept its value of P 7.00 to the US dollar until I finished college... Today, the Philippines is famous as the " housemaid " capital of the world. It ranks very high as the "cheapest labor" capital of the world, too. We have maids in Hong Kong, laborers in Saudi Arabia, dancers in Japan , migrants and TNTs in Australia and the US, and all sorts of other "tricky" jobs in other parts of the globe. Quo Vadis, Pinoy? Is that a wonder or a worry? Are you proud to be a Filipino, or does it even matter anymore? When you see the Filipino flag and hear the Pambansang Awit, do you feel a sense of pride or a sense of defeat & uncertainty? If only things could change for the better....... Hang on for this is a job for Superman. Or whom do you call? Ghostbusters. Is that a joke or a what? Right or wrong? This is one of our problems. We say "I love the Philippines.. I am proud to be a Filipino." I want to help the maids in Hong Kong... I want to help the laborers in Saudi Arabia... I want to help the dancers in Japan.... I want to help the TNTs in America and Australia.... I want to save the people of the Philippines.. But I cannot do it alone. I need your help and everyone else's. Indifference is a crime on its own.

:) Mar 29, 2009 4:24 pm 2480 Views When you're hurt, know that darkness is passing. smile, It may not solve all the problems, But it will soften life's not so gentle blows. I will smile again Though tears flow from these eyes I will smile again And trust tomorrow the sun shall rise Though darkness may enfold me Though heavy rain can't help but pour Though shattered, lost and broken Though heart could barely bear it all Though tired and weary and confused Though badly hurt and bruised I know that I will smile again And I will smile again! 34 Comments
