The Divers

These are Boyet and Leah..my officemates who are already certified divers. One good thing came out from having so much pressures in the office, they turned to something else to achieve balance:-)


Consider yourselves blessed! Not everyone will have a chance to see God's perfect creations down there.

Kanlungan

pana-panahon ang pagkakataon
maibabalik ba ang kahapon?

natatandaan mo pa ba,
nang tayong dalwa'y ang unang nagkita?
panahon ng kamusmusan
sa piling ng mga bulaklak at halaman
doon tayong nagsimulang
mangarap at tumula

natatandaan mo pa ba,
inukit kong puso sa punong mangga
at ang inalay kong gumamela
magkahawak-kamay sa dalampasigan
malayang tulad ng mga ibon
ang gunita ng ating kahapon

ang mga puno't halaman
ay kabiyak ng ating gunita
sa paglipas ng panahon bakit kailangan ding lumisan?

pana-panahon ang pagkakatao
maibabalik ba ang kahapon?

ngayon ikaw ay nagbalik
at tulad ko rin ang iyong pananabik
makita ang dating kanlungan
tahanan ng ating tula at pangarap
ngayon ay naglaho na
saan hahanapin pa?

lumilipas ang panahon
kabiyak ng ating gunita
ang mga puno't halaman
bakit kailangan lumisan?

pana-panahon ang pagkakataon
maibabalik ba ang kahapon?
lumilipas ang panahon
kabiyak ng ating gunita
ang mga puno't halaman
bakit kailangan lumisan?

pana-panahon ang pagkakataon
maibabalik ba ang kahapon?


THIS SONG REMINDS ME THAT EVERYTHING ON THIS EARTH IS TEMPORAL.

Newest addition to the Family

This is Joem my third niece. So far, she is the youngest out of the ten grandchildren of my Nanay & Tatay. Born June 24, 2005 at San Juan, MM.

Joem got her eyes from her father, my brother Joey and the shape of the face from her mother, Emma. (thus the name, Joem)

She is almost 2 months now and according to her father, she is starting to utter her first words like, yahung yahoo!!, ago ayo... (ate Pam says, she doesn't believe and would wait until she hears Joem says so to her).... while sucking her whole fist and part of her arms....much to the delight of her parents.

Wayback April, 2005, when my father was seriously ill, he cried because he knew that he will be gone before Joem arrives.

You may not have experienced to live with your Lolo, Joem, but please be assured that he loved you and he waited for you. He would have done anything to see you before he goes but God had other plans.....


God bless baby, we love you and hope to see you soon.... (,")

My Ditse's Family

This collage shows some of the many activities that Kuya Nomer, Ditse and their three boys (Norman, Neil John, Norville) enjoy whenever my brother in law is in town. Family outings to make up for the time away from each other.

Most of the pictures here were taken when they went to Lagos Del Sol in Laguna. There is no better way to bond!

IT IS A SIN TO TELL A LIE

I love you, yes I do, I love you
If you break my heart I'll die
So be sure it's true
When you say I love you
It's a sin to tell a lie

Be sure it's true when you say I love you
It's a sin to tell a lie
Millions of hearts have been broken
Just because these words were spoken

I love you, yes I do, I love you
If you break my heart I'll die
So be sure it's true
When you say I love you
It's a sin to tell a lie




WHOAH! I found the lyrics of this song while browsing on the lyrics.com. Here is one song that I couldn't ignore. I grew up knowing that this is my parents' song....could be that this song was very popular during their time, huh!

Not sure how much this song has contributed to the exemplary life they led as husband and wife......they had something which doesn't happen always in a relationship....they have devotion and respect to each other......they had weathered everything together....theirs was not an easy life..but they succeeded in making sure that their children would achieve something that they both lacked....My husband and I don't have a song in particular..maybe we should have one...

SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME

There’s a saying old says that love is blind
Still we’re often told, seek and ye shall find
So I’m going to seek a certain lad I’ve had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven’t found him yet

He’s the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret
I’d like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

There’s a somebody I’m longing to see
I hope that he turns out to be
Someone who’ll watch over me
I’m a little lamb who’s lost in the wood
I know I could always be good
Someone who’ll watch over me

Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key
Won’t you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me


When I was a kid, the thought that my father would always be around was a great comfort for me. He was an embodiment of someone who would do anything for his children, be it hard work just to be able to support us.

When I got married, I thought that the responsibility to take care of me was transferred to my husband but I know that father will still always be there for me.

Now that father is gone, I believe that he still watches over me from afar, could be from a different dimension but he is still there watching and praying for me.
