Meeting The Letter Writer for the First Time


My Debutante meets The Letter Writer
My Debutante meets The Letter Writer


It's my honor and pride to meet her in person
I only know her by name
and we happen to have the same.


It's my honor and pride to have her as my guest
and read my open letter 
for my debutante daughter.

The Superwoman We Know





She has been the
SUPERWOMAN
we know
who never fails to keep our
HOME
a place of 
convenience and pleasure.

She never fails to plan, 
prepare and cook
the best meal on our table
Never let the clothes 
dirty and crumpled.
Everything is organized from
ceiling to floor.

Expectation


Image not mine


When you expect 
SOMETHING 
will happen 
and it never did...
There's a reason behind it.


When you expect 
SOMEONE 
will come
and he/she never did...
There's an explanation to it.

Lizzette Aira - A Name That's Uniquely Owned


An instance flashed back before me, 
February of 1994, 
I learned that I was pregnant 
for the second time
after a miscarriage.


I recalled a time when I started 
to write down names like: 
Canisha Yvon, Dana Maureen, Leira Denisse 
but nothing would seem better than this particular name.
It never crossed my mind 
to search the meaning of your name 
ever since you were born 
until I found myself writing this. 
To my surprise, 
the definition describes who and what you really are... 
amiable, 
kind-hearted 
but sensitive and emotional by nature.

Reminiscing With These Old Photographs


My 4th birthday celebration photo with family
My bandaged hands


Looking at this photograph
is a reverie of the past long gone
More than four decades ago
an accident burnt my hands.


I may not remember anything
except for the stories repeatedly told
The scars that are still visible
remind me of the pain so unbearable.

KathNiel's Got to Believe at ang Tunay na Kwento


May isang sikat na Chichay
na ngayo'y bumibida
Komedyante rin
ang dating nya
pero sya ay may angking ganda
na mahilig managinip kahit
dilat ang mga mata.


Siya ay lumaki sa isang perya
Mama Bear ang turing
sa kanyang nanay
At Papa Bear naman ang tawag
sa kanyang tatay.
mahirap man ang buhay nila
"Never say die."
yan ang motto nya.

When Two Distant Hearts Become ONE



Dreaming for her
is a hard habit to break. 
She spent all her life 
dreaming with someone 
who will love her 
more than anything... 
who will always stay by her side 
and protect her 
from being harmed 
fight for her
when danger comes
comfort her 
when lonesome fills her heart... 
show her the way 
when she is lost
open his arms and offer
a warm embrace
hold her with much tenderness... 
 and bring her
to the world of ecstasy.

PLAGIARISM - A Perfect Copycat




Modern-day imitators are now everywhere
There are amateurs in the field
yet most are deemed professionals.


Deception can be of many form
Beware, be cautious and vigilant
Any works of art or masterpiece
can be stolen in just one click.


We live in a world where technology reigns
The more it becomes advanced, the more
we can access infinite information.

"Makabagong Mukha ng Isang Kawatan"


"Ano ba ang itsura ng isang kawatan?
Paano mo makikilala kung may takip ang mukha niya?
Hinihintay ang dilim para makapagnakaw sya.
Ganito sila noong araw, ngayon... hindi na."

"Pwede nang kumamkam ng pera ng bayan
ang mga buwayang hungkag ang tiyan
Di na kailangan pang maglagay ng maskara
dahil kahit harap-harapa'y nilulustay nila."

Di pa uso ang internet noon
meron nang iskandalong
 nagpalugmok sa isang artista.
Kilala nyo ba sya?
Betamax Queen
pa nga ang bansag sa kanya.


TOTOO man o HINDI
Ito'y pinagpyestahan.
Karangalan at puri ay saglit na 
nabahiran ng 
dumi't kahihiyan.

Napoles and the Pork Barrel

Simplymarrimye's Napoles and the Pork Barrel


"I don't know what PORK BARREL is."
A woman - innocent
until proven guilty, said.
Ten billion is a lot of money
to make anybody so rich instantly.

Flaunting your wealth 
is a big deal 
even it's earned through legal means
Sharing photos with 
lavish lifestyle is one careless move
 an exhibit of obvious evidence.

The PLATINUM That's Never Been More Precious Than Gold

For almost fifteen years
 I chose to serve a company 
that I thought would give me the "best" in life 
but the best never came 
and I was left with no other choice 
but to leave the job 
I have learned to love.

I was hopeful that things would get better 
but the company's vision 
to regain stability was a failure. 
Time took its course.

Her Curly Hair Makes Her Prettier

Simplymarrimye - Making her hair curlier


We dotingly call her Aya
her eyes are chinita
and her hair has natural perm.
She always wants it longer
Effort and time are essentials
to get these perfect curls.

Having this type of strands
somehow makes this 
young lady wander...
How she wish to have 
a healthy silky
black straight hair.

Being A Good Samaritan


New International Version (NIV)
The Parable of the Good Samaritan

25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”
27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ ; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.”
28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 
31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.
32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 
33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 
34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 
35 The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

A ROSE for my Birthday

A ROSE for my Birthday



My birthday fell on a weekend 
but I was surprised to receive 
a rose from my son, Kurt. 

When he got home from school
afternoon of June 28... he handed me 
with a shy-mannered gesture,
 a single stem with a red rose
 in full bloom and greeted me in advance.

He said, he wanted to buy a bunch
 but his money could only afford one. 
I felt so touched with this simple 
yet meaningful expression of love.
