Miss Thy Mother

Miss Thy Mother 

On special days you are a weeper,

As you miss thy mother.

Grief flows like a deep and wide river,

Even the lilies around are deep mourners.


Remember the days filled with wreaths, thoughts, and kindly folk near?

They said: she’s now happy as she ascends her way up there,

Adding that no more pain as her soul’s now free,

But for a child, it’s hard to find solace, you see.


Yes, you miss thy mother, 

One great soul -- beyond compare.

She filled your life with love, wonder, and utmost care,

Her prayers were like your guardian that follows as you wander.

When days of mourning are here once again, then again and again – just surprisingly returning;

You cling to your memories together,

Because her love is a comforting den, a halo that shines and never dies – brighter as a flame. 💜

You’re my favorite (Gin) King/ Weekend Warrior

It’s already been two weeks since the news circulated all over the internet particularly on the sports page of the newspaper, news sports program and PBA Sports that Sunday Salvacion is not a Gin king anymore. At first, I don’t have any idea about the trade issue because I haven’t received any texts from my friends in Ginebra. Then I opened my Facebook account and looked at Itay Sunday’s (Yes, we fondly called him Itay and her wife as Inay Chin because they treated their fans as one of their “anakis”...) wall/ profile in FB and I read some wall posts about the trade issue. Most of his fans were deeply saddened on his departure in Ginebra and others were saying good luck in his new team which is the Barako Bull. They assured Itay that whatever happens, their support is 101% guaranteed. According to some news, Itay’s contract in Ginebra was already expired and the management didn’t renew his contract and decided to bring him up in Barako Bull. When I heard this news, it may sound...

Resist Their Attempts to “Ground” You: Embrace Your Wicked Self

 If you've spent your life as a misunderstood outcast and always challenged traditional notions of good and evil, yet you are still an empathetic and deeply compassionate soul, you are a variant of "Elphaba Thropp." Wicked is based on the Broadway musical, story of the Witches of Oz: Glinda the Good and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of The West was originally adapted from a novel, The Wizard of Oz , but reimagined. Both witches explore their complex friendship until some twist of events leads to Elphi’s vilification. Wicked is a beloved work of art for a dear friend of mine, who has shared how it profoundly changed his life and perspectives. When he encouraged me to watch the movie, I agreed, even though I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. The strength of the movie lies in the performances of the lead actors -- the chemistry between Ariana Grande (Galinda/Glinda) and Cynthia Erivo (Elphaba/Elphi) serves as the emotional core of the story. The visuals and produ...

The beauteous of Ilocos

I remember when I was in high school, I wrote in my journal that someday I'll visit Ilocos and explore the authenticity of Sur and Norte. My mother told me everything she experienced when she had a trip there with her co-teachers many years back. I wasn't able to join them because I have a class then and I guess, it was just exclusive for the COOP members of P. Guevara only. So, kayo na! :D A piece of throwback for me, eh! :) Just two weeks ago, my friends, a special chubby chef and I toured around Ilocos Sur/ Norte for three fun-filled days. Kuya Danny of Peter Pan Tours kindly assisted us throughout our tour and he was jaunty enough on answering our questions, even the stupid ones. :D For a price of 3,150php/ head (3D2N hotel accommodation stay- brunch and dinner not included), it wasn't bad for a budget traveler like us. :) We just brought our pocket lucre and our travel things for our much-awaited trip. ;) Day 1: The Bantay Bell Tower (built in 1951.) ( P...
