26 Years: Celebrating EDSA and YOU

Image
*Linking this to my sister's article dedicated to our mom where she won fourth place, Top Mum 26 years ago from today, Jaime Cardinal Sin urged everyone out into the streets of EDSA to join hands in prayer... ah, People Power! It was a peaceful revolution that gave rise to a new era of freedom from the hands of the Marcos regime... an end to years of bondage, tyranny and dictatorship! It was a year filled with hope... a year of fulfilling dreams... A momentous event ... Our triumph as a nation! Tin, my youngest sister and Ton, my nephew 26 February 1986 That was also the day, YOU came back home... the day YOU started celebrating new LIFE! You were born with a congenital heart disease ...  thanks to the quick action of your cardiologist, they were able to perform your operation... but not without tears my young one... 1983 Batangas City Mom carried you in her arms day and night... she gav

Somewhere, sometime before The Widow Lady   Lisa Brandel moved over to Facebook, I read a couple of her posts and it led me to five Truths she revealed about herself . I took it as an assignment to face myself in the mirror and look at myself straight in the eye everyday... I know it'll take me forever to acquiesce everything in me...  I'd cry over some things I see... and laugh at times... but  it is totally liberating... ---------------------------------- When I moved out of our house at twenty, I found myself always sick in the dorm where I lived but instead of taking me to the doctor, the person-in-charge gave me a book... Have you ever read this one? Louise L. Hay, You Can Heal your Life (Phil.ed Diliman, QC:Claretian Publications,1995) I was so curious what it had to tell me so I leafed through the pages and came across this... p.156 I have never thought of it this way. However, sixteen years later, an intimate fri

Love Song

I have been spending most of my free time on my sick bed for a few weeks now ~ awake at times, silently waiting for someone to reach out and free me from this illness. Rafa-el came one night and spoke to my heart... " Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul ."   - Anonymous  Credits: Music by Yiruma, River Flows In You Images from Google Paintings by Laura Blank Words by melissa Inspiration: YOU The muse sings her song ~ and  You are part of it... I am God's guitar  and you are my 'new' melody...

Il Viso dell'Amore

1 February 2012 I woke up with a big smile today and greeted everybody with so much happiness that one colleague asked me if I were in a 'new' relationship.  by Syed Alfandi Mansor Well... I am.  I found myself immersed in LIFE ~  This morning, I had my shoes almost ripped off in the train station. I wasn't exactly smiling at the person who did it. In fact, I squirmed my way towards the second floor. Ooo, it has been like this since the day I started working two years ago. The only difference is, people started forming a line  'lines'. I wanted to take a picture and post it as a Friday moment or suggest it to be a part of  our "It's more 'FUN' in the Philippines" tourism campaign.  I 'survived' entering the train. I didn't even have to lift a muscle because the men beside me 'dragged' me inside. Whew!  I  (brisk) walked my way towards the office when the cars stopped right at the pedestrian lane. I
