Happy Bday Nanay!

One of the best moms in the world is celebrating her 70th birthday this coming saturday, Inay as we used to call her. We thank the Lord for the 70 fruitful years of her life and we wish her more.

She get married at the age of 24, blessed with 5 offspring, spend the life taking care of her family. A full time mom and wife, available 24/7, 365 days a year, no leave filed, even when she is sick.

I call her an addict! Yes addict sa household chores, parang gusto rin kunin yong trabaho sa kapit-bahay, that's how great she is. Even lend her time taking care of her grand children.

She prayed 3 times a day, reciting the Rosary and her novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and St. Anne. Our first teacher.

Mom and I both love bags, when my bags are missing, i know that they are already in good hands of her.

I remember when we are young, we live near the basketball court, she had a mega phone she used to call my brothers who are playing basketball : "uwi na kayo kakain na!" , lol. she is really funny. She also had a "love radar" she can sense if a guy likes me even before i knew it.

Does she looked like 70?

I thank God for giving her to us. Thank you for your 100% pure love. I prayed that you will still be around when i get married, walk with me down the aisle and hope that you will still be here to teach me how to raise my children the way you and tatay raised us.

Happy Bday mom. I love you!

My mom enjoying my artista shades!

Sana'y di magmaliw ang dati kong araw
Ng munti pang bata sa piling ni nanay
Nais kong maulit ang awit ni inang mahal
Awit ng pag-ibig habang ako't nasa duyan

See you on Saturday!

who is your "the one who got away?"

A friend posted this article in facebook. She got this from a friend who found it in The Manila Times. I really dont know what issue of Manila Times and whoever wrote this, thank you. This is worth sharing..

**************************************************
That one person that got away....

In your life, you’ll make note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you shared something special, ones who will always mean something. There’s the one you first kissed, the one you first loved, the one you lost your virginity to, the one you put on a pedestal, the one you’re with …and the one that got away.

Who is the one that got away?

I guess it’s that person with who everything was great, everything was perfect, but the timing was just wrong. There was no fault in the person, there was no flaw in the chemistry, but the cards just didn’t fall the right way, I suppose. I believe in the fact that ending up with someone, finding a long time partner that is, does not lie merely in the other person. I can actually argue that an equal part, or maybe even the greater part, has to do with the matter of timing.

It has to do with you being ready to settle down and commit to someone in a way that goes beyond the little niceties of giddy romance. How often have you gone through it without even realizing it? When you’re not ready to commit in that mature manner, it doesn’t matter who you’re with, it just doesn’t work. Small problems become big; inconsequential become deal breakers simply because you’re not ready and it shows. It’s not that you and the person you’re with are no good; it’s just that it’s not yet right, and little things become the flashpoint of that fact.

Then one day you’re ready. You really are. And when this happens you’ll be ready to settle down with someone. He or she may not be perfect, they might not be the brightest star of romance to ever have burned in your life, but it’ll work because you’re ready. It’ll work because it’s the right time and you’ll make it work. And it’ll make sense, it really will. The day comes when you’re finally making sense of things, and you find yourself to be a different person. Things are different, your approach is different, you finally understand who you are and what you want and you’ve become ready because the time has truly arrived. And mind you, there’s no telling when this day will come.

Hopefully you’re single… but you could be in a long-term relationship, you could be married with three kids, it doesn’t matter. All you know is that you’ve changed, and for some reason, the one that got away, is the first person you think about. You’ll think about them because you’ll wonder, "What if they were here today?" You’ll wonder, "What if we were together now, with me as I am and not as I was?"

That’s what the one that got away is. The biggest "What if?" you’ll have in your life.

If you’re married, you’ll just have to accept the fact that the one that got away, got away. Believe me, no matter how fairy tale you think your marriage is, this can happen to the best of us. But hopefully you’re mature enough to realize that if you’re already with the one you’re with, that this is just another test of your commitment, one which will just strengthen your marriage when you get past it. Sure, you’ll think about him/her every so often, but it’s alright. It’s never nice to live with a "might have been," but it happens.

Maybe the one that got away is the one who’s already married. In which case it’s the same thing. You just have to accept and know that your memories of that person will probably bring a nice little smile to your lips in the future when you’re old and gray and reminiscing.

But if neither of that is the case, then it’s different. What do you do if it’s not yet too late? Simple… find him, find her. Because the very existence of a "one that got away" means that you’ll always wonder, what if you got that one? Ask him out to coffee; ask her out to a movie, it doesn’t matter if you’ve dropped in from out of nowhere. You’d be surprised, you just might be "the one that got away" as well for the person who is your "the one that got away." You might drop in from out of nowhere and it won’t make a difference.

If the timing is finally right, it’ll all just fall into place somehow. And it would be a great feeling, if in the end, you’d be able to say to someone, "Hey you, you’re the one that almost got away."

and i miss you...

Last week J and I went on our friendly friends date again. He invited me to watch ...And I love you so of Bea and Sam, i seldom watch tagalog movies but he insisted. Anyway the movie is nice, sam and bea's acting was improved in fairness to them.

I mentioned this because one of the locations was taken in anawangin cove and suddenly i miss anawangin, at times when I want to be alone, I wanted to go back there....

Isn't it refreshing?
