Weekend once again, let’s join the hypes, be like some gawks and make some gaffs for a break…life is a gift we should enjoy, do away with the routine and break the monotony, even for some time. Live life.
Have a great weekend everyone! Time flies swiftly before we knew it, the week is over.
And as the week pass by; we feel we haven’t done enough, there is always little time to do everything that we want to accomplish. That we sometimes wish we could hold the time in our hands, So we could keep the good moments and enjoy them longer While we also wish that as time passes, forlorn events pass away along with it; Leaving no traces and recurring moments. Have a relaxing weekend everyone! People come and go in our life, just as time passes by. Sometimes we take both the people and the time for granted only to realize that with their passing, we have lost important persons and have missed some significant moments.
Treat people as we should with time; both are precious thus, we should spend every seconds and every minute dearly and wisely just as we should care and respect every person that comes in our life immensely. The cold and dark season starts to creep; let’s keep our sunny feeling alive that we may stand the challenges brought by the season change.
Good Monday morning everyone! The enthusiasm that Monday always brings as it ushers the week of new opportunities and possibilities warms the chilly atmosphere of the day. A blessed week to all!
Wish life is easy, no whys, no hows, no buts.
That we can live in spontaneity; do and say what we want That events pass without marks and memories to remind them That we can make life as what we want it, no unforeseen events that will come our way and imbalance us. That the impossible become possible and the improbable probable. So this weekend, let’s live a spontaneous life….enjoy, relax and live for the day! God helg alle sammen! Carpe diem! The sun is up and the sky is blue….promise of a bright and lovely day. Wish the nice weather lasts throughout the weekend and the days ahead. Let’s cap the week with a sunny feeling and move ahead with brighter hope. God helg alle sammen.
Nilo is a dear family friend. He is a close friend of Benjie; they call each other “Pakner.” We first met when he and his wife Lita treated us to a dinner, a welcome of sort for me to their company.
My profound memory of him was how his alertness saved us from sure death. It happened when we were driving back from our trip to Dubai to Riyadh. Our car broke down we have to ride on his car. Benjie opted to stay in the car with the tower. There was a long queue on the highway it will prolong our trip thus; he tried to overtake them when suddenly a speeding truck came head on to us. It was very fast had he did not turn on the desert side, we were all dead, he, my children and I. The road was narrow and has no barrier. If he turns right we will be dragged by big trucks. His last recourse was to bring the car on the desert. And big luck, he managed to stop as it landed close to an edge of a ditch. It was too fast all I said to my children was to cover their heads. I never tell the incident to anybody I was just thankful we are still alive. Even Nilo and I did not talk about it. I last saw Nilo during the Christmas party at their office at the Department Foreign Affairs on December 2010. Tall and handsome during his healthy days, Nilo has lost a lot of weight and looked older than his age. He has been in medication for heart and breathing problem. But despite his state of health, he remains a jolly person. He knows my children, even some personal, he even told me to remind my daughter Barbarella to break up with her boyfriend whom he finds not suitable for her. “Sabihin mo nga ke Barbie na palitan na ung boyfriend niya, ke ganda niya at talino eh ang pangit ng boyfriend niya, di sila bagay!” was his message. He was happy though when I told him that Barbie had already broke up with the guy he was referring to. I believe he died a contented man. He was happy to have a granddaughter whom he said has grown big too fast. He was also proud of his son who is now working at the DFA and with his eldest daughter who is gainfully employed. His children are my children’s big sister and big brother when we were in Riyadh. Nilo, while your hope to get better and be posted again will no longer be realized, I pray that may you now rest in peace and enjoy the glory of His company. Rainy, cold and dark, weather like life goes through the same stages. And like the weather, soon it will be sunny again just as our life will be brighter too. Have a nice day everyone, live for the day and seize every moment we have.
Good Monday morning everyone! There is nothing special and remarkable way of starting the day than by being greeted and wished by your multitude of friends and relatives. Your felicitations brighten my day. They bring spark of joy to the overcast sky and warmth to the cold season that starts along with the week.
My heartfelt gratitude to everyone who remembers me on my birthday! To all of you, maraming salamat, mange takk, tack sa mycket, tante grazie, muchas gracias, shukran, cezutinbadeh, THANK YOU so much! Today is a day of contrast, the ending and the beginning…we cap the week as we start the new month. A good time to reflect, deflect and effect changes in our lives. Have a meaningful weekend everyone!
Life is all about living…we live to see and to appreciate the things around us, to hear and to listen to various sounds, to taste, literally and figuratively, everything that has flavor, to smell and to savor scents, and to touch and to feel emotions and otherwise.
Insensitivity is not living, seeing without appreciating, hearing without listening, touching without feeling, tasting without savoring and smelling without perceiving. To live life is to keep all our senses working because living is sensing. It is through our senses that we learn how to understand and how to react on any event that comes our way. Sometimes the obvious becomes oblivious to our eyes and feelings
we look and long for something or someone that is either improbable and impossible. Let’s try to be sensitive, see and feel what we have at hand and live for the day. Have a relaxing weekend everyone. The autumn chill fills the air; a cold and rainy weekend. Regardless of the weather, let's cap our week with warmth. Have a great weekend everyone.
Good Monday morning everyone! Wish letting go and forgiveness are as easy as events unfolding on their own, they go spontaneously. A blessed week to all!
Weekend once again, time to look back on the gains and losses of the past week and month as we continue to tread the road called life. How, who, what and why are we today was the result of our yesterdays. So live the day and make the most of each moment. Trevlig helg alle sammen.
The autumn season is on its way…green leaves will turn bright yellow and red until they fall on the ground. A harsh transition that allows new budding leaves to grow.
Our life is sometimes like an autumn tree, our days turn bright and colorful and then the falling comes. And like the tree that waits until the cold and dark winter is over before its leaves come out again, we have to go through a long process so we could rise again. Good Monday morning everyone! Wish everyone to be as tough as the autumn tree, continues to live and grow and defies even the nature’s woe. Days pass and soon, the new season sets in…falling leaves will gather in the grounds which the rain and the wind will fly and wash away. I wish sad memories are like the leaves, they fall and get carried away to nowhere where they cannot be found.
Have a relaxing weekend everyone! Like days and time, people come into our life; some are remarkable while others just pass swiftly. We only realized we lost the time and the people when the days have passed and the person is gone. Good Monday morning everyone! Let’s treat every day and everyone special so that we won’t regret their passing. Time lost and the people we lose are irretrievable.
Time seems to be always too short when we want to accomplish so much and too long when we wait for our wishes to happen. Have a great weekend everyone. Let's live for the day and let tomorrow takes care of itself.
Life, like weather, is unpredictable; the wind changes its course in a moment, the sky turns bright and dark in split seconds, and the sun does hide and seek. Good Friday morning everyone. Brìght blue sky and thin cold wind greet the day, wish it continues throughout the days ahead. God helg alle sammen ♥
"Many things in our lives have cycles. Nothing ever stays the same from one minute to the next. We may not like changes in our relationships, for we may expect that any variation from our happy moments will mean pain or loss or rejection. Even in a relationship's dark moments of anger and pain, we may fear changes that can bring happiness, hope and success.
Yet change is a valid measurement of growth and time. It has a natural rhythm as the ebb and flow of the ocean, the change of the seasons, the waxing and waning of the moon, the rise and set of the sun. Tonight we can be assured that our relationships are right where they need to be in their natural places." (from my medidation book Night Light re: relationships) One of the most painful feelings is when you realized that you have fallen into a trap of lies and make believe; that you have given your full trust only to be betrayed.
And life is sometimes cruel, just as you have barely recovered from being beaten emotionally, mentally and physically, there comes another blow. Wish life is like a ball game, we can see when the ball is coming and change position or take cover if it is going to hit us. |
