 Here we are again, the BER months have just commenced! Are they the most awaited? To_ most, the answer is YES, because it (BER) symbolizes the beginning of a new hope, even though it gears toward the end of the year. We are very sentimental about the coming holidays, specially, Christmas. Our hearts are full of hope, and spirit of joy and merriment, no matter what the situation is. With the pandemic, we actually have the tendencies to_ pull the days ahead of time just to_ get pass this nightmare. I am with you with those feelings and I look forward to_ happier days just around the corner. Let’s continue to_ pray for each other and our loved ones. Friends that stick together, stay together. HAPPY MONTH OF SEPTEMBER!!

When you see something fake, unreal, not genuine, not original, but "almost" exact or something passable to_ your taste, sometimes, you "buy" it. However, when it comes to_ fake people, it is almost unbearable or beyond acceptable, even if the person's desire is occasionally for the good intention. The cliche' " The means justify the ends" does not apply here...or maybe, for the sake of harmony?

I am going to spend a week vacation in Cancun, Mexico starting tomorrow. It is a very much needed respite from work, and from all the madness of this pandemic. You all take care, because I will...God bless you all

Some people are quick to_ judge based on what they see from the outside...that's a given. But do they really care about what's going on inside of a person?..Some people who look good, tidy, and neat, are jobless, and are on the brink of being homeless. Some are cracking jokes, but when they are alone, they feel like ending their lives. Some display the sweetest of their smiles, trying to_ comfort others, even though they, themselves are hurting. Some are giving alms to_ those who are in dire needs, giving the last cents from their own pockets. Would you label these people as FAKE? You better not!  You don't know....We don't know exactly what they're going through.Some of them are just selfless, and some are just trying to_ cope with their own difficulties...

It is no secret that the past few days, I posted in FB, urging former FFF members to_ return here and help revive this website where we made so much memories for years. I guess, the excitement and enthusiasm was short lived. I do understand that many have forgotten their passwords, and some cannot access this site anymore ( I can relate, because my more popular handle eb1209 was deleted by FFF  ), but I also know that some already moved on with their lives and aren't just interested anymore. And yes, some are just lacking loyalty....For what is there to see in a website comparable to_ a graveyard anyway? But for a very few of us who remained active and are keeping this bloglandia alive, kudos! It just speaks loudly of who we are....

60 years and counting! I have lived a very colorful life that included so many painful experiences caused by the people closest to_ my heart. I belong to_ a dysfunctional, almost apathetic broken family torn apart when I was six years old. Growing up, I perceived love way differently compared to_ most normal people. And yet, I chose to love my own way, that is deprived of reciprocity. I have loved with all my might, I have shared with all I had. But despite and inspite of that, I lacked appreciation, acknowledgement, and emotional return. When you give your all, you become empty...exhausted, and most of the time, you long for that much needed refill or recharge, not knowing where it will come from....But, God provided what I lacked, even though the sources came from people not blood related. I am still very much blessed....I am healed.

It's been a long time since my last romantic blog. I was pre-occupied with a lot of things, such as travels, work, home, and education. I had too many things to_ do for so short a time. Either I had too much activities, or was plainly "drifting". But I am like a spring; easy to recoil. Now I have my energy back and I thank God for this strength and resiliency to_ re-balance my way of life. Without sounding boastful, my "EX" had told me so many years ago on the day we said goodbye, " Honey, it is not easy letting you go, for you are so "lovable" , but that same quality of yours will make you find someone who is more worthy of your whole being." I guess, I was hurting then, it didn't sink in right away..until I heard that word again, quite a few times from male acquaintances and "prospectives."..Today, something happened to me which brought me to_ tears, and the memories reverberated in my mind. I guess, with all that I've been through in my private life... my love, affection, and commitment to_ my profession, my family and very special friends, to my only , and lastly, to_ MYSELF..I believe, I am "simply lovable".../Elsa Godiva

My Forever Role In Life.....

Do you believe that each one of us play a specific role in this planet? I mean, other than our professions, or general roles as human beings. You see, all my life, I have been the "provider" for my family, and constant "donor" to_ those who are in dire need of financial help back home or elsewhere. Even this past year and few months, during the pandemic, people are constantly asking for help, and really, I do not mind if I have extra. But lately, it's taking a toll on me, emotionally, physically, and financially....I have been working very hard so that anything that comes out extra from the regular budget and expenses wouldn't affect my own plan to_ retire. But it looks like, I am far from getting to_ that point.
.....My unico hijo is still jobless, after he was laid off from the Emirates airlines due to the pandemic. I am supporting my mother who is 87 y.o. and has dementia/alzheimer's disease. I also have my own personal expenses here in the USA which are not inexpensive. Everytime I work extra, I get scared, because most of the time, there is always another expense more than likely, like death of people I know (and funerals need funding), or somebody got hospitalized and needing financial aid and what not. It never ends.
....I am beginning to think, maybe that is my main role here on earth....but I am just a human being....I am tired....I need a break....I need to retire already from this role.....

Just Let Me Define My Own Happiness......

I am not perfectly happy, but I am happy the way I am, what I am blessed with, and even contented with what I do not have. I have come to_ terms with how my life came to_be. So Just let it be, let me be....
Why until this time, people are worried about me having nobody to_ grow old with? I may not be the strongest, but I am strong enough to_ have lived more than half of my life alone. I am still constantly asking God for His guidance as to_ how I may continue to_ live this life in solitary. In my darkest hours, I even pray that if it's time for me to_ return "home", that I may just fall asleep deeply, never to wake up again, unless in union with the Creator. It may sound morbid, but if there's anything such as death wish, then, that is what I have in mind...So, let me be....Happy the way I was meant to_ be.
