I don't know about you, but whenever I see a on the street looking so famished and dirty, and surrounded by flies and all sorts of flying insects, my heart just aches...
Why do we have to_bring any in this world to_suffer if we already know that we cannot afford to_ feed him, dress him, educate him, and love him? Is it really that negligible to just enjoy the call of the flesh, and never ever think of the fact that another human being maybe a product of that carnal desire? And have you noticed too, that most of the people who cannot afford are the ones who have more ? Is it enough to_ rely on "God" for mercy, and not do your part?
I have one , and even if I could afford well to_ give him the best that my resources can provide, I still worry that one day, he may not have enough to_ eat, or if he is cold, and ill...God bless those who thrived despite being neglected by their parents, and learned to_ be independent early on in their lives and make the most of what life has to_ offer and succeeded....

I am already a senior, and I am not ashamed of it. I have loved, and lost, loved again, and lost again. It took so many years to_ recover from the 2 loses..And when I opened my heart again to_a new beginning, I found that I set the standards too for every challenger to_ meet. Or maybe, I purposely put it that way, so that there will be no NEXT_again? I can still remember the pains, but my heart forgot how to_ be romantically happy anymore. And by the looks of it, it's perfectly okay. Fear of pain overtook the desire to_want to_ be in cloud 9 again. I learned to_ embrace and love my personal space. As a matter of fact, I have become so territorial even with some relatives and friends. Picky, choosy, name it! I am guilty. But, I would not exchange my present comfort to_ any fear...And so, alone, I am, a lifetime, maybe..

Just like everyone else, this Holy Week is a special time for us really ponder on what are the things we've missed doing in our Christian life. We have been so focused on our fears of the pandemic, but not everyone of us actually are doing something to_show God that we do understand and feel that maybe, it is a reminder to_ mankind to_ pause for a while and give more time to_God, and go back to_ Him. We have neglected Him, obviously. We spend so much time on social media, on material things, on politics, and other worldly matters that we have not been communicating to_ Him constantly in prayers. There is so much hatred and destruction, greed and hunger for control. We could hardly feel love for our family and neighbors.We need to_ repent

I just noticed that the men who used to_ be my so called admirers/suitors, (with whom I may have directly or indirectly, but politely rejected) appear to_ have nothing to_ do with me anymore. It doesn't matter if we remain friends or acquaintances in real life or even in FB. They don't greet me on my birthday, Christmas, Valentine's, and even offer condolences specially that my brother just died recently...I find that really disappointing...Why be my friend or why bother to_ be on my friend's list? And you know what? I am not talking about one man, but at least, 3 or 4 of them! Unbelievable! Which makes me think that I was really right in NOT having a romantic relationship with them at all...They are a bunch of "good for nothing transient lovers."

A couple of years back, I had 2 special loved ones who were thought of or expected to_ leave this world. One of them is my mother, who is suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and my elder brother, who, for more than 4 years had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Being the major financial supporter for the family, I mostly took the responsibility for the medical needs and well-being of both. Big Bro. was married before and got separated from his wife with whom he had 4 . His wife left him in 1990 and abandoned their . My brother single-handedly raised them to the best of his ability, but he wasn't perfect. He then had another serious relationship with another woman who did nothing but took advantage of him, and took his money, and again, left him when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2016. What an ingrate! His , one by one left him to_ raise their own family, except for the youngest, who also got separated from her husband. My brother succumbed to_ death on March 06, 2021 after suffering from excruciating pains that the end-stage of cancer which spread to_ his bones caused him. He had been in and out of the hospital prior to_ that, and even attempted to_ take his own life at some point. Now, his suffering is over, but there is this deep sadness in my heart. How sad is it to_die feeling so "unloved"? When he was young and strong, he was a giver. He gave his all, as a matter of fact. But in the end, only one took care of him. The other one has a family in Ilo-ilo and cannot attend the funeral because of lockdowns and quarantines. The other 2 refused to even talk to him, despite proddings from those were in contact with them to_ at least, talk to_ their father before he dies..How hard can one's heart be? This is beyond my imagination!...But,it is, what it is...Now, I am still mourning over the death of my brother, and I am already worried about my Mom. Lord, just help me deal with this, one day at a time....

I have been busy at work, specially that here in the state of TEXAS, we've been struck by winter advisory for the past couple of days. This is very uncommon for us since we are known to be always summer-ry. People down here are not prepared. Temperatures are below freezing point. Not much accumulation of snow, but ice and sleet are more dangerous due to the rain. Too many road accidents, power outage, and still battling the covid-19 pandemic. I do not know how much more people can take.But I am just wondering, haven't most still not being reminded that there is GOD? I am feeling so blessed in spite and despite of. I have everything I need.

It is Hearts Month....Yeah, I know, we know....tsk! tsk! tsk! But what is there to expect? I am down here in the valley ( not of the apes though,  ) But seriously, I think, my heart and feelings are not dead as yet, maybe, it just needs someone really nice, and out of nowhere to awaken it from a very deep slumber.

Aging naturally...(from a SC's point of view)

Some people ask if I went through some kind of beauty enhancement in relation to_ my "not looking my age" image. I just laughed it off 
To_ be honest, I have not even thought of having the very basic "botox injection" that most women even in their late 20's are already having nowadays..What for? I am happy the way I look. I can enhance my face by putting make up, and splurge on the expensive ones during special occasions to_ look my best, and then afterwards, when I get home, I can just go back to_ my natural self.  You see, what's the point of risking myself having to_ go through needles or be under the knife ( as in the case of major -lifting surgical procedures) when I've already shun myself away from men long time ago? It just doesn't make any sense.
But, please, don't get me wrong. I have nothing against women who love to_ show off their enhanced looks, and are even honest about what they did to_ achieve that outcome. It's their face, it's their body, it's their life. Whatever makes one happy, go for it! To_ each her own.
