CHRISTMAS TIME
It's Christmas time again. My family spent the whole day at my Ate Virgie's house. My brothers and sisters, in-laws, nephews, nieces and apo's were there. There were exchanges of Christmas gifts and cash gifts to the children. My Ate Virgie prepared a lot of food for everybody. It was a very happy Christmas day for my family...a sort of family reunion. Family ties were again renewed and strengthened...and we hope to continue this tradition for the many years and occassions to come. We are now looking forward to year-end and the welcoming of 2010.

REMEMBERING HEAVEN ON EARTH
A special tribute to those who have gone ahead of us and for those who keep remembering the memories and presence of our departed loved ones...experiencing glympses of heaven even on earth.
REMEMBERING OUR DEPARTED LOVED ONES
Every first day of November of every year, we visit our departed loved ones in their resting place. It was a sort of family reunion for those they left behind. Their memories will always be remembered and their presence we will severely miss. They will be in our prayers as they joined our CREATOR in heaven.

OCTOBER 25, 1963...46 years ago.
.jpg)
At the age of 39, his name was "called", returned this to the GIVER of life...marking the end of his journey. It was an untimely death for my father and was a deadly news to my mother. I was more than one year-old then and my Mom was five months pregrant to my youngest sister Malou. His death changed the course of my family's life. It was severly painful that even until now...the pain continues as I always long for my father. For so many years after he passed away...my life has never been complete. And this has brought me to more tears everytime I thought of him...everytime I needed him to be with me...right beside me. The reality and acceptance of his death would probably take a lifetime before I have finally gone over it. Silent tears in between sobs for a love of a father always go with me...and it will be with me FOREVER. However, his passing has made us all stronger especially myself. I learned to face countless trials even I am almost alone carrying the crosses of life. I am gifted with courage to do things at all costs...to stay strong and firm even I am feeling weak...and to bear my cross patiently knowing that one day...every single drop of tears...every silent crying inside my heart...my DAD will finally make me feel that I am not alone and he was there in heaven... just watching from a distance.
"We know that GOD causes all things to work together for good to those who love GOD...to those who are called according to HIS purpose."

PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO
"While doing and editing this video, silent tears of sadness for those who were affected by the typhoon started to flow down from my eyes."
A day after September 26, 2009, we witnessed a trail of tears, death and destruction caused by a deadly typhoon that hit Metro Manila and nearby provinces. Nobody has ever imagined or expected that something big will happen in just less than an hour of that fateful day. Like a thief in the night, we were all caught flat-footed. It was indeed true that wrath of nature chooses no one...rich or poor..young or old. As I saw some pictures and videos, these had made me so sad for the victims. My heart and prayers were with them. May we all find hope in this time of despair... fully understanding that our CREATOR will provide ways to ease our pains...eventually helping us recover and rediscover new life from these trying moments. GOD uses many trials to drive us closer to HIM and when bad things happened, HE will supply us more blessings for us to know that HE is always there. Just keep our faith burning and continue hoping even in times when it seems one has nothing to hope for. Yes...this will pass and we will all survive as long as we live with a heart that is full of HOPE!!!
September 26, 2009 was a story about how we find life in death...how we bring out the goodness we keep in our hearts...a human story of how life is offered and how love is shared.
GOD BLESS THE PHILIPPINES!!!

IT'S MY MOM'S BIRTHDAY TODAY
My Mom turns 83 years old on Monday, September 07, 2009. We prepared a big party for her today September 06, 2009. Relatives from both sides of our parents were invited to attend the celebration. It was a great feeling to show our love to our mother for all the sacrifices she has made for her children. My Mom has been a single parent from the time my Dad passed away in 1963. She managed to raise us all and provided the love and care we all needed in life. At 83, she continues to inspire and unite her family. She is always a great and a very loving mother to us all. I can't think of appropriate words to describe her. We, her children, are so blessed to have her as our mother. Despite the many painful and difficult struggles she has undergone to support the family, she remains strong and dedicated to her children. We will always remember with fondness the memories of the past. How we all fought to survive...to where we are all now.
What I personally wish for her? Good health so that we will continue to be inspired by her strength and wisdom... Peace of mind so that she enjoys the gifts of a happy life and many more years to live so she will receive in return the love she sincerely gave and shared with us. I continuously pray she will always be blessed and become a blessing to others. Happy Birthday Mommy!!! Until next year.....
