One of the limbs by which human beings and animals walk; in human beings, often the part between the knee and the ankle.
There are fat legs, big legs, small legs, thin legs, tapered legs, long legs, short legs, but the legs that I like are those that are wrapped around me when I sleep. I wonder where those legs are???
Though you've been gone for just a week It makes me feel so sad to speak Baby come back, I miss you.
And though before I didn't cry Now my eyes are never dry And the thousand jesters Couldn't make me smile.
I miss you.
Note: This is an old song and I have forgotten the complete lyrics. I tried some lyrics site but failed. Anyone who could provide me with the lyrics is very much appreciated. Thanks.
4 and 40 years ago I came into this life. A life filled with joy and happiness. Along with these were several trials and tribulations that I think had made me see and understand life.
I look back and I feel no regrets. I have had my share of a happy marriage (before I lost my husband), and I have two wonderful kids who will always be my greatest pride.
I look forward to another 4 and 40 years...LOL... (please spare me from Alzheimer's Disease) so I will continue to enjoy the beauty of life.
A famous professor of surgery died and went to heaven. At the pearly gates he was asked by the gatekeeper, "Have you ever committed a sin you truly regret?" "Yes," the professor answered. "When I was a young candidate at the Hospital of Saint Lucas, we played soccer against a team from the Community Hospital, and I scored a goal, which was off-side. But the referee did not see it, and the goal won us the match. I regret that now."
"Well," said the gatekeeper. "That is a very minor sin. You may enter."
"Thank you very much, Saint Peter," the professor answered.
"You're welcome, but I am not Saint Peter," said the gatekeeper. "He is having his lunch break. I am Saint Lucas."
I was awakened by the alert of my cellphone. When I looked at it, I saw the message, "Uncle Uly's 2nd Death Anniversary." It was my daughter who put that in.
It was a Thursday, March 10, 2005 when he died at Cebu North General Hospital. I remember coming home March 8, 2005, Tuesday, the gate was closed but not locked. My brother, who kinda limped when he walked, after he had his first High Blood Pressure Attack, would usually be in front of television watching an afternoon newscast, but not at that time. I heard the radio in the kitchen so I presumed he was there. When I got there I saw him lying on the floor. I panicked at the sight. I saw the coffee cup on the dining table, the coffee cream near the cup but the coffee still had no cream. I noticed the coffee was moderately warm. Beside the coffee cup were the things he needed for cooking supper. I looked at my brother, he was still breathing, but not moving, his eyes closed. He was unconscious. I attempted to pull him, but with his weight I wasn't able to even move him an inch. I went outside and saw no one. I came back to the kitchen and pulled him again still I failed to move him. I ran again outside and saw a neighbor and asked for help. Neighbors came and helped me carry him and we brought him to the hospital.
While he was at the emergency room, the doctor told me he was in coma, so we transfered him to the ICU where he breathed his last on the 10th of March, 2005 at about 8:30AM.
Let eternal light shine upon him oh Lord. May he rest in peace.

We can all learn a lesson from this great old girl! The 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with her hair fashionably coifed and makeup perfectly applied, even though she is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today.
Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.
As she maneuvered her walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her window.
"I love it," she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy. "Mrs. Jones, you haven't seen the room .... just wait." "That doesn't have anything to do with it," she replied.
"Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged... it's how I arrange my mind.
I already decided to love it "It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do.
Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away ...just for this time in my life.
Old age is like a bank account ...you withdraw from what you've put in. So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories.
Thank you for your part in filling my Memory bank. I am still depositing.
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred. 2. Free your mind from worries. 3. Live simply. 4. Give more. 5. Expect less.
You are now a sweet young lady and I know that there are now boys who start showing interest. I hope you realize that the priority this time is your studies (at UP High School - Cebu). We don't need to hurry things up. There will be a right time for every thing.
Stay as sweet as you are and know that I will always be here. I will always have a listening ear and will always be your friend and confidante. Remember, no matter what, you will always be loved.
