Amidst All...

Amidst your darkness..
look for light.

Amidst your storm...
wait for calmness.

Amidst confusion...
seek for the truth.

Amidst chaos...
breathe...let your mind...rest a bit!

For what'll be left in you..
if all is gone and burned out.

You can't change the world...
but you can change yourself.

Live your life...
enjoy what God has given you.

So much is to be grateful for...
your life itself is one.

Pinangat!

Camalig's pride

Uno man na okasyon..

maski din makabot..

kataraning na banwa...

o sa arayo na nasyon.

Pinangat na masiram...

marang man o bukon.

indi nalilipngan san...

dilang Camalignun.

Ituma sa umay...

sa pandesal o asayun...

pwerteng siram...

maski sa irinuman.

Binangot na sa spaghetti...

Italyanong putahe..

indi barang nadawg...

namit nya an naglutaw!

Dakul an nag arug...

mga taga ibang lugar..

paraluto na matitibay.
nyanga san ta naisyan...

san dilang Camalignun...

bukon yan original!

Sya pu ko san!
di na sana magkarawn!
malansi mo pikit!
bukon an taga Camalig!

Happy birthday my BFF!

   It was at a birthday party of our friend's son twenty six long years ago when we first met...Ken was still in my womb,I was so big  and a little shy then.You were there with our mutual friends,I thought..."who was this Chinese couple who seemed kind and friendly to everyone".Little did I know that it was the start of a long,joyful and enduring friendship that we have to this day!
    We had shared and endured years of joy and trials..both in our respective families to our own friendship.But due to the respect and affection we have for each one,I would say..we had passed it all with flying colors!
     Never did we have hurting words thrown to each other...we became sisters more than we were friends,always forgiving each other's weaknesses and flows.Our families are witnesses to our bond and that I am proud to share it with my children and I know you are too.
     Tomorrow is your birthday my dear Nina,my BFF!My fervent prayer is for you to be happy always,free of worries and stress!Live life as what Jesus our Lord has given us,offer to Him all the worries and fears in your heart.As always I will be at your side as I was twenty six funny,tearful and loving years had passed till we're both old and gray!

     Happy birthday dearest!!!!
   

Am I who I was..

In my sadness I found joy...
to swim in my memories...
and dwell in the wonderful
moments of my yesteryears.

No matter how long it was..
no matter how old...
for as far as the sun...
I would travel and live again.

For my past is so much...
a part of my present...
How can I be who I am now...
if I can't be my past.

From the girl I used to be..
to the woman I am now...
was there a change...
I ask....

Where was the girl I was then...
the girl who loved to laugh and dance...
do I know who I am now...
am I still the girl I was...

Tell me then,tell me now...
who was I then,who am I now..
am I my past,am I my present...
or am I both.

A MOTHER'S SIGH

             When you're alone by yourself,only your thoughts seemed to keep you company...You couldn't stop wondering...where have all those happier days gone?When you're children were still young...depending on you...teasing and kissing you.Ahhhh!!!!those wonderful days will forever live in a mother's deepest core.Memories of her children growing up years will keep flooding back,tenderly kept in her loving heart.
              Those times when my boys didn't seem to need anyone but me,when they thought I alone could answer their never ending why's.From the small insects to their growing bodies.Oh how I miss those days.when they would ask me what to wear,cried to me when they were hungry,hid behind my embrace when  there was lightning.Eager to hear my bedtime stories,and loved to listen to my lullabyes as I lulled them to sleep.
              But to let them leave I must...never mind my sadness,never mind my fears...for they have to go and make themselves the persons they wish to be...Away from my prying eyes and protective arms,the mom that I was and still am,would never let anyone hurt them in anyway or anything for that matter.And now..I wonder...what are they doing?..whom are they with?..did someone or something hurt them?..are they happy or sad?..are they still afraid of thunder and lightning?..do they still need me somehow?...do they think of me the way I do every single second of the day?...
             So why do I have to show them my happy face when they're around?Why shouldn't I tell them...please stay with me...don't leave again?For I myself wish and pray for the lives they dream for themselves.This sadness within me is just one of the many sacrifices only a selfless mom endures.And that I will forever be for my three beloved boys.
           
           
   

Shine again...

Leave the sky dark cloud...
of gloom and heavy  rain...
make way for sun...
to shine once again.


Let thy flow'rs bloom..
I beg...
and make thy birds...
sing for me again.


Let thy stars shine bright...
and thy moon smile from above...
make warm thy nights...
and show thy love to mine...


Make thy heart be merry...
to sing with joy for thee...
Oh veil of darkness go...
leave thy doorstep and never show.


Oh golden sun come back...
lit thy days so bright...
fill thy heart and mind..
of bliss to reign inside.
