Congratulations to All Mothers Out There!

At work, you think of the children you have left at home.
At home, you think of the work you've left unfinished.
Such a struggle is unleashed within yourself.
Your heart is rent.

Motherhood is priced
Of God, at price no man may dare
To lessen or misunderstand.

~Helen Hunt Jackson

It's Time To Party!

I am slowly getting ready to go back to my Mother's place . It is almost noon time in the Philippines now. The internet connection is getting slowly again. I also sharing photos during my cousin's birthday celebration last December 13. It was fun and I believed that everyone who attended the birthday party had truly fun. Here are the party photos!

Good News and Bad News

I got both news today, bad and good. Where do you want me to start? I guess I begin with the bad one and very very sad one. Can you imagine if you lost one of your love ones? Can you imagine if you lost a member of your family? This will be the saddest news you can have. I even remember a very good friend who died last year due to cancer. Tears were even falling from my eyes as I heard the news from her sister. Anyway, as I went down to the kitchen this morning to take my tea time, HB already laid the newspaper where the obituaries are. My friend's father in law died. I immediately call her to extend my condolence and sympathy. I am also going tomorrow to attend the burial ceremony. That's the bad news my friends.

The good news is, my sister left a message in yahoo messenger telling me to take the best fat burner for me to lose weight before I go home for vacation this holiday season. I miss the yummy food back home. If I don't lose extra pounds now, I will be gaining more in my vacation. Not really a good idea for me. The best news is, our dear beloved youngest sister had already her visa to the US. She had an interview yesterday in the US Embassy in Manila. Now she is backed to Cebu and sent me that YM. God truly blesses her. I know that she deserved it. Good luck to her and best wishes to our family. Best wishes to everyone too!

Not A So Good News Back Home

I guess life is like that. It is like a wheel sometimes we are up and sometimes we are down. We are up because those were the times when we are happy and it seems that there are no problems on our way. We are down because we feel the world over our shoulders. This is also true when a family member is sick or any problem comes and it seems that we cannot find a solution to it. Sometimes I just want to remember the song, "Don't Worry, Be Happy".

I just felt very sad last time after knowing the result of the different medical tests of my father. There are some negative results especially the decrease of his red blood cells and the fibrotic changes in his lungs. I even have here the message from my sister which was sent to my mail last Oct. 12, 2009. Since we Filipinos always love our families, all we can do is to help when we can. I will try to translate next time this message below in English. For now, I want to wish you all good health always and stay safe all the time. I also need to search for good copper sinks later. More updates in a couple of hours in my other blogs. See you later guys!

Below is excerpt of the mail that was sent by my sister last time

Having a brother like you.

Have a blessed and happy birthday dear Brother RENREN!

Mama lyrics

I guess the music video for mama was removed..sorry guys!

Happy Mother's Day To All Mothers!

I would like to extend this opportunity to greet all Mothers a very happy and meaningful blessed day! Congratulations for being such good Mothers to your children. Sad to say, I am not still a mother. I guess I am still young not to think too much about it. ..wink! I also would like to take this opportunity to greet My Beloved one and only Mother a blessed and fantastic day! I am happy that I called home today and already greeted her. I already told her that my gift will be given when I go home for vacation this year. Do you think a heart pendant necklace is a lovely present to my dear Mama? I believed so!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL MOTHERS

Birthdays Greeting to My Dear Mama

I want to extend my birthday greetings
and wishes to my one and only dearest Mother!
I wish you all the best things in life
and most of all good health always!
Have a blessed and happy birthday!!
I Love You Mama!
God bless you always!

If I could give you diamonds
for each tear you cried for me.
If I could give you sapphires
for each truth you’ve helped me see.
If I could give you rubies
for the heartache that you’ve known
If I could give you pearls
for the wisdom that you’ve shown.
Then you’ll have a treasure, mother,
that would mount up to the skies
That would almost match
the sparkle in your kind and loving eyes.
But I have no pearls, no diamonds,
As I’m sure you’re well aware
So I’ll give you gifts more precious
My devotion, love and care.

With all my love
on your birthday

Happy Birthday Sis Raq

I would like to greet my dear Sister Raq in Las Vegas for her birthday today. I wish you all the best in life, more blessings to come, success, happiness and most of all good health always. May you have many many more birthdays to come. God bless and guide you always in all your undertakings!

I'm proud of My Sisters!

How would you feel if one member of your family succeeded for something? How would feel if your friends found a new job? or your neighbor was promoted into higher position? or maybe your own child have some accomplishments in school being included in the dean's list? Do you feel sad about it? I know some people are not happy of somebody's achievements. In fact some people are even envy of others success. Another fact, I know some people who are like that. Instead of being happy of others achievements, they are feeling insecure and envy about it. They will even find a way to make you look bad and make false gossips of you. Pity to those people who are like that! tsk..tsk..tsk!!

Anyway no matter what people say about me or some people? I don't care. I am just me and they don't know the real me. If they just know the real me, they might love me more like what my true friends do. For now, I am just happy and proud of my sister's achievement for passing the Nursing board exam. It is really a great honor for the whole family. I am truly proud of her being my scholar..lol..partly! Special thanks also for my Sister in Las Vegas and her hubby for giving a support to our youngest sister. hey Sis Raq, I'm proud of you too. I know some of your dreams are slowly coming true. Keep praying and hoping. My sister in Las Vegas is also working as a Desk Nurse now. I am not so sure if she is interested to attend about medical assistant training school. I heard last time that she is reviewing for something. Good luck my dear Sisters! I am really proud of you being the products of my hard work and dedication. I miss you all! God bless the whole family!

Our Sincere Sympathy

We are extending our deepest sympathy to all people who have lost their love ones especially to my Aunt, cousins and nephews and to the whole family for the lost of my dear cousin Cocoy who just joined His Creator. May His soul rest in peace with our Lord and Saviour...

At this time of sorrow,
may these truths sustain you...
Your loved one will always
be as close as a memory,
and the God of all comfort
will always be as
close as a prayer.

With Prayers and Deepest Sympathy

Birthday Blessings Instead of counting candles,
Or tallying the years,
Contemplate your blessings,
As your birthday nears. Consider special people
Who love you, and who care,
And others who’ve enriched your life
Just by being there. Think about the memories
Passing years can never mar,
Experiences great and small
That have made you who you are. Another year is a happy gift,
So cut your cake, and say,
"Instead of counting birthdays,
I count blessings every day!"

A Very Sad True Story and a Prayer for My Friend

I was shocked today after I read the message in my friendster inbox. The message is from my sister's friend who is also my friend and like a little sister to me. The message which was sent yesterday says like this ;

Date: 09/29/2008 11:19 am
Subject: just to let u know...
Message:
hi ate rubz,
just to let u know ate grace passed away last aug. 9, 2008. nanaginip man gud ko sa iya last night telling me for not informing u. sorry po!

joy

I just read it today and I didn't realized that tears were already fulling from my eyes after reading it. My chest is even harden until now after I read again another message coming from her sister, the reasons why she passed. I just can't imagine and ask why???? My friend's name is Grace. She had been a very good friend of mine in College days. I am also very close to her family back in Midsayap. She was my former classmate and I really treasured the friendship we had. Grace is really one in a million!! This post is dedicated to her and I hope and pray that she rest in peace with our Creator now. She is just so young, in her mid thirty's just like me. I had a great time with her back in College days.

How can you imagine that!!!...she already passed-away but came back thru a dream in her sister just to tell me that she already passed-away. I was really deeply touched that a dear dead friend of mine still remember me!! I know I have been a good friend to her and she had been always a good friend to me too. I know I can' t forget all the memories, the friendship and the beautiful moments we shared before in Midsayap.

It was really a very sad happening or even a traumatic experience when our dear friend or loved ones will passed away. To you Grace, I promise to keep our memory. I know I might not express my love for you as a friend but deep in my heart you are always there..You're great and you're one in a million.!! You will never be forgotten especially by your family and good friends out there!!

I love you Grace and I pray that your soul will rest in peace.

To all my friends out there especially the ones who came from my home country, my friends both online and offline, I might not be sending you messages all the time or might be talking to you everyday but I want to let you know that you are always in my mind and in my heart. God bless us all..Thanks for all your friendship and camaraderie!!

Please also pray for the soul of Grace and all souls who passed-away in this world.

“True friends are the ones who never leave your heart, even if they leave your life for awhile. Even after years apart, you pick up with them right where you left off, and even if they die they're never dead in your heart.”

“I haven't seen you in a while, yet I often imagine all your expressions. I haven't spoken to you recently, but many times I hear your thoughts. Good friends must not always be together. It is the feeling of oneness, when distant that proves a lasting”
