Daddy’s Corner
May 23, 2008
I was almost finished adding a new page in my other blog when this idea came up. Just in time for the upcoming Father’s Day - June 8, I thought that it’s time to brag about the father of our children. Singles may also join this double purpose meme (a tribute to all the fathers out there and obviously, you know the other reason LOL!), why not brag about your own father, right?
Just like the rest of the past memes, here’s how it goes…
{Start Copy Here}
Started by Mitchteryosa
Rules:
1) Copy from {Start Copy Here} to {End Copy Here}.
2) Blog Brag about your husband - yes, the father of your child/ren. As I’ve said singles may also join by bragging about their own fathers, or even grandfathers. It doesn’t matter! Of course, Daddy bloggers themselves may also join, but you have to blog about your fathers and not about yourselves, deal? Okay. Good.
3) Add your blog in the masterlist below linking to the post that you just made. Or if you wish, do it as how I’ve done it in my other blog by adding a new page.
4) Leave some love here. Yup. Here. Thanks!
5) Let’s not forget Peppermint Creative for the corner border I used for the badge.

Airport Drama
May 17, 2008
The day had come for me to leave. It was on October 1, 1999. We didn’t have money to rent a van. We didn’t even have something to spend for our snacks while traveling from Olongapo to Manila. I only had one small traveling bag with me. I didn’t have anything with me. The money that we spent that day was the last money that I had received from my boss. We commuted. Victory Liner. My parents dropped me at the airport. But before that, I paid respect and said goodbye to my relatives next street. Four of them sent their packages. Small ones but made me weep. There were notes in front of the envelope “ate, buksan mo ito pag nakasakay ka na”. They were all sealed… Fast forward to the Airport scenes…..
The last words that my mom said “o yang katarayan mo iwan mo muna dito, at baka mapano ka dun…. Mag-iingat ka, wala ka ng mommy dun”.
As usual my dad, a man of few words said “ingat ka, tumawag ka kaagad pagdating mo dun”.
I don’t remember saying anything to them. I was weeping, literally just weeping…. But… I had to pause for a while… the drama and all. I had to check my baggages in. First time you know… I managed anyhow.
Inside the lane, while waiting to take off. I opened the envelopes one by one.
I opened the big one. It was from my lola. It was a big tube of Colgate. Continue reading here.
How To Improve Your Breasts Without Surgery
May 15, 2008
There is no doubt that a lot of people want to enhance their breast size. It’s becoming more and more popular to get a bigger bust with out having to have surgery. There are women that still go for that surgical option, but they will often have fears of the side effects as well as what may happen after the surgery has been completed.
But, on the other side of the coin, people think that when it comes to a natural way to enhance your breasts, there is a fear that it’s a big waste of time for them. Women don’t want to put any kind of odd substance in their body just for a little help with their breasts.

SQUIRRELS IN PHIL. FOREST!
May 15, 2008
Wednesday, May 14, 2008
Amid the crisis, however, the CSC Forest represents bounty. Today, squirrels can be sighted in the forest including snakes and other wild animals. It represents an ideal environment beyond the four corners of a government edifice. It represents an environment of what our country should be.
We lost track of the trees we planted at the Department of Agriculture and NIA. It reminds us of the past, however, whenever we see flowers of rain trees blooms as rainy season approaches while we walk along the alley of the Office for Legal Affairs. We can only hope, however, that those trees are now as tall, as big and cared dearly, where squirrels can hide, live and play in peace, like in the Civil Service Commission’s Centennial Forest, presently under Acting Chair Cesar Buenaflor.

Happy Mother’s Day - A mothers day greeting

Happy Mother’s Day
“For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world” - William Ross Wallace
I am writing this post for every mother out there. As a father, I can feel what it feels like to be a mother, all the sacrifices they undergo.
Woman, a female human, plays a vital rule in this world. From girlhood to womanhood, a woman experiences plenty of transformation in her life. Undergoing a change most noticeable in a woman is her Menarche or a woman’s first menstrual period. A mark of fertility and is considered as a central event of a girls puberty.

2008 World Pyro Olympics - Day 2
What’s with WPO and the rain? I do not know. But ever since the 1st WPO, there is always a day or two where it rains so hard either in the afternoon or right when the first participant is ready to lit the skies, and again we’re dripping, soaked, wet!
But just like in the previous WPO’s (especially the 1st WPO), people stood their ground and never left their places, who cares about the rain when you are about to see one of the world’s best fireworks? The crowd started to

The Power Of Letting Go
May 7, 2008
Letting go of someone for everyone seems to be the hardest thing to do, especially if that person already made a mark in your life. Somebody special to you and was there all thru the years, months, or days in your life. We always remember the things that had happened, the experiences you’ve been thru, it could be that saddest or the happiest moments. You can always recall that there was this moment in your life that nothing else matters in this world and that within this world the only significant thing that exists is between you and the person you love. To lose someone special gives pain that you wont know when its end. And every time you hear a hymn of a love song, makes you remember and even cry.

Kiddie Party
May 1, 2008
I am a mother of two and with my eldest going 5 next month, I must say I have had my share of Jollibee Kiddie Parties, McDonalds and even KFC kiddie parties. I used to think they were the best choice for me as I get too busy to even think about organizing my own kid’s party. Choosing that method though will set you off a couple of thousand pesos.

Just look at how it has been promoted on television and in movies. click here to read more
In The Face of Adversity
April 19, 2008
I just have to write about this. Please indulge me.
Last night, while Warren was in the middle of a heated exchange with his elder brother, I sat by my husband’s side watching his facial expressions closely, each time I’d see his eyes flicker and dim, albeit only for split seconds, I’d prod him to tell me what had just transpired. I kept on prodding and did not give up, purposefully because I wanted my husband to immediately release the pain by sharing the impact with me. I wanted him to feel that I wanted to share the moment with him, no matter how ugly, because we are one flesh.

Last part of a series: A doubtful heart
April 17, 2008
So, I did not snap my head out of my neck because it isn’t really the wisest thing to do given the circumstances, but there was huge relief and, of course, guilt.
I felt relieved because it felt good to finally see that I wasn’t actually facing a blank wall after all. You know, there really is a huge difference between being blind when you aren’t really blind and being truly blind and finally being able to see. In my case, I was the former.

Teenage Sex is A Reality
April 16, 2008
One of my observations when I started working as a pharmacist here in Canada is the fact that parents are very open about teenage sex. During my first few months in the pharmacy, I noticed that the Moms would personally come to pick-up their daughter’s contraceptive pills (birth control pills). The popular brandnames for contraceptives are Diane 35, Alesse, Tri-Cyclen, MinOvral, Triphasil, to name a few. Anyway, most of these pills may be used also for acne control. But I tell you, the Moms would pick up those contraceptive pills to make sure that their teenage girls don’t get pregnant. Let’s face it, a teenager will do what a teenager wants to do. I’ve been there.

Second of a series: A doubtful heart
April 14, 2008
It took me a while to realize that what is “small and petty” in my eye is “big and bold” in the eye of the Lord. When I thought I was simply being a brat, stomping my feet and insisting on “logic and reason”, I was actually committing the one sin that God hated the most – idolatry.
Last night, while Warren and I realized upon assessment that we are just like any other couple who fight, he mentioned the importance of keeping Christ in the center of our marriage as our only hope, he explained to me that this is precisely the reason why we need to continue growing spiritually as Christians. Instead of me submitting to my husband at that moment and agreeing with what he said, I turned away and made my own “little scene”…

Filthy Rags to God’s Grace
April 12, 2008
The other night, Warren was deeply immersed with reading the book of Luke (which he always does) when he suddenly bobbed his head from behind his Bible to share with me what he understood from the verse.
“To me, this means we as Christians are representatives of Christ, so wherever we go, whoever it is we are talking to, we should always remember that we are there to represent Christ, then there is really no need to tell them, “hey, I’d like to invite you to our church…”, instead, we can go right ahead and evangelize from there…”
I have forgotten what part in the book of Luke that is, but I remember coming by his side and reading it to see how I would understand what is written. I agree with my husband.
The following morning, we were walking around the community for morning exercise when he expressed his fear of not being able to share more openly with other people, of not being able to evangelize and of not being a zealous soldier of God.
I have always known my husband to be an introvert, in fact when we first met; I repeatedly had to ask him what was bothering him because there were moments during that day when he would just cave in, like something would wrap around him that not even I could get through. He would be staring from afar and be silent for minutes on end.

The Bataan Death March, Story of a Survivor
April 10, 2008
It was December 1941. Eight-year old Romy was in the two-story house where he and his family lived in the US military compound in Fort McKinley (now known as the Fort Bonifacio Global City). He couldn’t go out and play with his four brothers as was natural for little boys. Outside, bombs and firearms were exploding. A few day ago, on December 8, 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and ten hours after that, Clark Airfield, in Pampanga, Philippines. World War II had begun and it had come to the shores of the Philippines and the country was under attack by the invading Japanese troops.
Buenaventura, Romy’s father, gathered his wife and his five sons. He was already in his battle gear uniform. He told his family that they had to evacuate to his hometown in Lian, Batangas because Manila was under siege and declared an open city.
“But Papa,” Romy said, “how are we going back to Lian? There are no buses or cars to take us. And how about the baby?”
“Your uncle Tio Pito and your cousin Kuya Tino have come to fetch you,” answered Buenaventura. “I have managed to find a taxi to bring all of you. You will be safe in Lian.”
Stephen King on Violence and Politicians
April 9, 2008
Here’s one of the icons in the movie industry - Stephen King. We all know him and if you don’t then I guess you are not watching movies at all. So here, Stephen King gives his opinion about politicians trying to put restrictions on the so-called “violent (video) games”.
Here are some excerpts I found very useful for our local politicians claiming that Gamers will be War-Freak Adults. Parents, you should read this as well.
School Uniforms I’ve Worn
April 8, 2008
The people who have designed uniforms of girls in private Catholic schools must have been descended from the inquisitors of the Middle Ages because of their penchant to torture young ladies by imposing on them clothes with outrageous colors and atrocious styles. Boys have it easy. They just have to put on a white polo shirt and khaki shorts, for the young boys, or pants, once they’re considered “young men.”
I was four years old when I went to Nursery School. That’s pretty late I guess for today’s standards when kids go to school even before they could walk. I remember that I wore a pink and white checkered jumper with a white blouse underneath. I didn’t care much for fashion then. Oh heck, I don’t care much for fashion now.

Wiwannastarhavinahbeybeeh!
March 26, 2008
After the wedding, the honeymoon, the weekend dates and being constantly a twosome, Warren and I finally reached that point where we are already thinking about getting pregnant. Uh-huh, you read it right. PREGNANT. Wiwannastarhavinahbeybeeh! (spoken in a childlike manner for emphasis) Warren is not oblivious to the fact that I might not be able to give him a child. You see, I was with a man for eight years and not once did I get pregnant, so before our wedding I told Warren about the possibility of my being infertile. He would always display a very positive attitude towards this and there were times I would wish for myself to feel the same way.
