CPwc turned 1 year old...

Cpwc in action

Let  me tell you how it started...my version :)))

     One afternoon as I was browsing the net,I saw in my notification Gina B.Nacion,whom I fondly call (Imay) added me in a group called Camalig's Pride (women's corner).I thought....hmmmmmm...this is nice!An exclusive group for women,and all Camaliguenas at that!My beloved hometown.There were a few members yet,so I took their photos and posted it on our wall.You see.a simple housewife like me,with three grown up sons has so much idle time.I added my lady friends and relatives who are from Camalig too.All of a sudden,as if my fingers had minds of their own,tapped the keys.When I looked down to read it,the words were these...
     "Why don't we make this group worthwhile?Let's feed the needy children in our hometown.Just one meal,we can contribute small amounts,only according to our capacity.Anyway small amounts when combined can feed a small group of our less fortunate kids back home.Let's put smiles on their faces."
     Without thinking,I posted it on our wall.stood up,left my laptop for a little while.When I got back,to my surprise a lot liked and commented,"Let's do it!"
     Ohhh my!What did I do?!I thought,what am I getting into!LOL!But a tiny voice told me..."Go...help will come your way...have faith."
     True enough after a week or so,fellow members urged us to open a bank account for our group.Presto!Help poured like rain,from different parts of the world,all from loving,big hearted Camaliguenas.Some I do not even know personally.Indeed God is great!His grace never ceases to amaze me.You see,for more than three decades,not only did I meet again my favorite teacher in high school,she supported us from the very first sharing with all her love and devotion.Madam Aurora V. Banzuela,our group president.
     As you all know today,our plan to feed a group of needy kids in Tagaytay,was followed with four more barangays namely;Salugan,Barayong Ilawod,Taladong and the most recent,in Sumlang.God blessed us more than we asked for.Not only did we share meals,we share gifts too.
     I pray our good Lord Jesus Christ will continue to send more big hearted Camaliguenas,for us to spread His blessings.
     GOD bless CPwc!

Part 2 - Share a Meal, Share a Gift....We Are The World, We Are The Chil...

fifty first year....

     It's been a year now when I first stepped into my golden year,eight more days to be exact.Like in a dream...all passed swiftly in a daze.Travels,weddings and more...
Back in my childhood,old people I thought were born old.I never thought moms,dads,lolos and lolas were children like me,nor it never came to mind I would turn out just like them.Now it seems I am the way they were,as I looked at them when I was young.Stepping in their shoes seems natural though,but would I be even half the persons they were?Would I be as tender,as compassionate and as forgiving?Their love overwhelmed my being to this day,my strength through the years...my core.
     Next week is my day again,one year deeper into my golden years,to wish for anything material is beyond me.God knows I never asked,instead everything I have came and all I did was to thank Him.The life I had wasn't really all roses,what mattered most...He was with me all the way,both joyful and otherwise...
     Happiness should never be depended on,nor begged on anyone's "acceptance".Gone were the days of hurting and reducing in tears for any undesirable situation.Rather "acceptance" to life's challenges is more apt!At the end of the day,you'll look back and say..."It was worth fighting for and thank God I survived."You may even thank the people who somehow forced you to be the strong person that you are now.Life is real precious it's a pity wasting it,for whatever little time left you have in this wonderful world,to worthless pleasings!It may be a little late but,as the saying goes and I quote..."Better late than never"!
     With all my heart and soul I raise my worship to You alone my Jesus,thank you for my being,thank you for my beloved family,thank you for my fifty one years with You beside me.
     To You my God Jesus Christ Almighty...I commend myself once more...through my golden years and beyond.
