I Have Fallen In Love With The Same Woman Three Timeswritten by Benigno Aquino Jr. as a gift for the late President Corazon Aquino during their 19th wedding anniversary
I have fallen in love with the same woman three times; In a day spanning 19 years of tearful joys and joyful tears. I loved her first when she was young, enchanting and vibrant, eternally new. She was brilliant, fragrant, and cool as the morning dew. I fell in love with her the second time; when first she bore her child and mine always by my side, the source of my strength, helping to turn the tide. But there were candles to burn the world was my concern; while our home was her domain. and the people were mine while the children were hers to maintain; So it was in those eighteen years and a day. ’till I was detained; forced in prison to stay. Suddenly she’s our sole support; source of comfort, our wellspring of Hope. on her shoulders felt the burden of Life. I fell in love again, with the same woman the third time. Looming from the battle, her courage will never fade Amidst the hardships she has remained, undaunted and unafraid. she is calm and composed, she is God’s lovely maid.
"perhaps all i can do now is look at you from a distance and hope that you're doing great.. i may not have the courage, but i believe, He will give what's best for us and everything will fall to its right place at the right time..":)

Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month or what we know today as the honeymoon.

When anyone wanted to have a baby, they got consent of the King, the King gave them a placard that they hung on their door while they were having sex. The placard had F...U...C...K...

04.06.09
pumunta kami ng nabua, hometown ni mama, one-hour drive lang siya mula sa lugar namin. graduation party kasi ng pinsan ko. kaya ayun. kainan nanaman.
04.07.09
50th birthday ng tita ko.. since andun naman lahat sa nabua ang buong family, nagdecide kami na pumunta ng legazpi.. we went to Cagsawa Ruins and Mayon Resthouse. sayang nga at di masyadong nagpakita ang Mayon Volcano, masyado kasing maulap..
sa Cagsawa Ruins kami naglunch, bumili bili na din ng mga souvenirs.. then picture picture. mahilig ako mag jumping shot kaya super talon talon ako. kaya lang mahina ang photographer ko, di nakukuha yung tamang shot. haha. gumaya na din sina tita, super nagtatalon sila. and pati na din si mama. kea lang palpak ang jumping shot ni mama. bumagsak siya sa grounds.. tsk tsk.
after picture taking, umakyat kami sa Mayon Resthouse. kea lang parang minamalas talaga at ma-fog. di nagpakita si Mayon, kaya tumambay nalang kami sa planetarium at nanood ng mga file videos ng pagsabog ng Mayon. mejo sumasakit na din ang knees ni mother so inalalayan ko siya pabalik ng van.
nakarating kami ng nabua at around 7pm.. dun nagdecide si mama na umuwi na kami ng naga kasi masakit na talaga ang knees niya. tiningnan ko naman yung knees niya at thank god wala namang fracture, parang nabinat lang ata yung bones niya, kasi naman at 46 super nag jump pa talaga siya. mejo naguilty nga ako kasi ako nagsimula ng pagtalon. pero yun. nakarating din kami samin at 8pm and dinala namin siya not sa hospital pero dun sa magaling na manghihilot kung saan nila ako dinadala nung bata pa ako. so ayun. hinilot siya and kelangan niyang irest ang kanyang paa until wala na ang maga.
04.08.09
siguro nga blessing in disguise na din yung pagkapilay ni mama kasi nga tulad ng na-ishare ko noon, ako ay isang spoiled brat. wala akong alam na housework except sa pagsaing, pagprito at paglinis ng kwarto. at since ako ang eldest at wala naman kaming maid, kelangang ako gumawa lahat ng houseworks na dati dati ginagawa ni mother ng mag-isa. haha. siguro sabi ng Diyos kelangan ko ng matuto at kamusta naman ako, 22 na, ala pang alam. haha. so ayun. buong wednesday, natuto ako maglaba, magluto and everything else. congrats sakin!
ito na din ang start ng half ng vacation, this time sa father's side naman. dumating din pala yung tito ko from ilo-ilo. pumunta kami ng lcc mall [sa May pa kasi bubuksan ang SM dito] para mag-grocery para sa swimming. kaloka, yung paglabas naming yun almost 15k ang nagastos nia! kaya naman yung pinsan kong 11 yrs old gusto na lang din maging med rep paglaki kasi mapera daw. lol.
04.09.09
pumunta ako sa st.john hospital. oops, di na-ospital si mama, pumunta lang ako dun para magbayad ng training fee dahil natanggap na ako sa training. yey! 3months and a half din ako na magtratrain dun tapos after ng training pwede nila ako iabsorb as nurse I. magsstart na ako sa 17. kala ko nga di ako matatanggap kasi during the interview nung saturday, di ko nasagutan yung nursing question.. buti nalang pinalitan nila yung question nung sinabi ko na di ko alam ang sagot. kamusta naman kasi yung question sakin, 5 rights of delegation, sana nagtanong nalang sila bout sa mga diseases or nursing care e di mas kabisado ko pa. yung isa nga what is glaucoma lang yung question. haisk. pero salamat naman at kahit papano, natanggap ako.
nung hapon, pumunta kami ni tita sa Surfer's Paradise Beach Resort para magpareserve ng room para sa swimming namin. mga 45-min ride din yun mula sa naga. then pag-uwi namin, pumunta kami sa bahay nung isa ko pang tita at dun kami nag picnic. parang resort kasi ang look ng bahay nila.
then after dinner, nag visita-altares kami. yung parang station of the cross. pero this time yung stations nakakalat sa buong downtown ng naga.
04.10.09
super laba uli ang beauty ko. maga pa din ang paa ni mother so yun.. housework. then empake para sa swimming.. nag-prusisyon din kami para sa biyernes santo.
04.11.09
all set na para sa 2-day escapade. umalis kami at around 9, nag-early lunch na din kami para tipid. lol.
first stop namin, sa Basilica Minore, kung saan andun ang Our Lady of Peñafrancia, patron saint ng Bicol.
sa katapat ng church ay ang Sto. Niño Memorial kung saan andun ang puntod ni Lola Ba, ang aking greatgrandmother. namatay siya easter sunday of 2006, kea we always visit her kapag holyweek.
tanghaling tapat, we went to CWC, yung nafeature ko dati dito. this year di lang wakeboarding ang meron sila, they have this Lago del Ray resort kung saan pwede magswim, boating, watersliding and kung anek anek pa. madaming foreigner din ang nagkalat so pati yung entrance fee naka dollars na din.
we then went back to Naga, nag halo-halo muna kami sa Chowking at super-init. haha. plugging.
nag church hopping kami after. parang visita iglesias. pumunta kami ng 'hinulid', yung dinadayo ng mga devotees dito, then Quepayo Church.
as usual, gutom nanaman kami so nagstop-over muna para kumain sa Oyster Villa.
pinick-up lang namin yung baggages namin sa bahay ni lola then diretsyo na kami sa Surfers para sa swimming.
04.12.09
swimming uli habang di pa masyadong mainit. 8am na kami umalis ng resort.. pagdating ng naga, nagbreakfast muna kami sa Biggs'.
then pagdating sa bahay ni lola super natulog kaming lahat. or i dont know, basta tulog ako hanggang 11am. haha. gumising nalang kami para mag lunch sa Tokyo-Tokyo..haha. pagod na kasi kami lahat at ayaw ng magluto. mga tamad. lol.
nung hapong yun, nagsalu-salo uli kami dun sa bahay ni lola then nung evening hinatid na namin si tito at babalik na siya ng ilo-ilo for work.
so yan. nung monday, inasikaso ko kasi yung application ko dun sa isang hospital kaya di ako nakapag-blog, kahapon naman, super nag housework ako uli. lol. so talagang ngayon lang nakabalik sa blogosphere.. aw. mejo okay na din si mama, pero rest pa din para di siya mabinat. haisk. :)
eio. holyweek na. paalam muna ako. silip mode nalang muna ako this week, ill be back on monday. actually nung last week pa aq mejo busy but this week, madaming family churva from both sides of the fence so magiging hectic ang sked ng artista. lol. ill be back on monday na. or on easter sunday kung keri ko na magpost. haha. haisk. am gonna miss y'all! parang ang tagal ng one week e. haha. basta. have a blessed holyweek y'all! mwahugs! when i get back, free chocos for all uli! ahaha.
for now, ill leave you with this story..missed chance.
A massive flood hit a small town near the Mississippi River. One levy in the river had broke, causing the flooding to occur while another levy was predicted to break in the hour.
A man who owned a house along the river stood on the roof of his house as water had engulfed the rest of it. Water levels were slowly rising. A rescue boat came to save the man from his house. The boat approached and the rescuers told the man another levy was about to break and the water would move over his house, sweeping him away to his drowning death. The man told the rescuers he did not need help because he believed in God and that God would save him. Twenty minutes later, the rescuers returned, trying to help the man escape. Once again, the man waved off the rescuers saying that God would save him. Ten minutes afterwards, the rescuers returned again, saying it would be the last time they could return because the levy was about to break. They asked him one last time to get on the rescue boat. He said once again that he believes in God and God would save him from the levy should it break. A few minutes after the rescuers left, the levy broke and the rushing waters engulfed the house, carrying away the man to his drowning death.
When the man reached the Heavens, he stood at the gates to enter. He told the men at the gates that he wanted to see God. When he saw God, he asked, "What happened? I thought you were going to save me? Why didn't you save me?" God replied, "I did try to save you. I sent the boat three times."
ayan. sometimes we really tend to expect things as we want it to be, pero God has His own way in answering our prayers, and madalas His answers are sent through other people. kagaya ng sa story, he failed to realize that the salvation from God that he was looking for was already sent for him thrice. :)
wah.. need to go already, aalis na kami in a few hours eh. hehe. haiz. ill miss y'all! mwahugs! tc everyone!
summer na! wohoo! vacation nanaman! well, this year may time pa ako para magvacation before my training so am excited.. tho wala pa kaming destination na pinag-uusapan naging annual tradition na ata sa family namin, the whole clan sa fatherside ko na mag bakasyon.. (dito lang naman sa mga local places). its nice to get-together with your family kasi mas nagiging stronger ang bond. and thats one thing that im proud of sa family ko.
anyway, i searched for the best places in bicol, kasi i believe so na before kami lumabas ng province para magvacation, its fair lang na buong bicol muna ang iexplore namin. so, tara, come and see what bicol can offer... (para next time, di lang boracay ang maging destinations nio, madami keang magaganda dito. ahaha!)

Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.
One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean.
He came closer still and called out "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?"
The young man paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean."
"I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat startled wise man.
To this, the young man replied, "The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die."
Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, "But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!"
At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, "It made a difference for that one."
*** una kong narinig yan story from ayala young leaders, and from then on, it always reminds me na no matter small your action is, it sure can create a difference.
kakatapos lang ng earth hour [at blog earth hour], indeed, it was a small effort na magswitch off ng ilaw, but then again, somehow it created a difference para sa ating future. however, i do wish that after this earth hour, our environmental revolution would start, na sana the advocacy of the people to fight against environmental problems would not stop here. sana, earth hour won't just be another show, kundi isang simula for a wider environmental campaign. :)
haiz. lets all be the 'young man' jan sa story, di lang environmentally, but in everything. lets all create difference, kahit in our littlest ways. owkie. nytie and god bless y'all!♥

Invisible
Taylor Swift
She can't see the way your eyes
Light up when you smile
She'll never notice how you stop and stare
Whenever she walks by
And you can't see me wantin' you the way you want her
But you are everything to me
[Chorus:]
And I just wanna show you
She don't even know you
She's never gonna love you like I want to
And you just see right through me but if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful, miracle, unbelievable
Instead of just invisible
There's a fire inside of you
That can't help but shine through
She's never gonna see the light
No matter what you do
And all I think about is how to make you think of me
And everything that we could be
[Chorus:]
And I just wanna show you
She don't even know you
She's never gonna love you like I want to
And you just see right through me but if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful, miracle, unbelievable
Instead of just invisible
Like shadows in a faded light
Oh we're invisible
I just wanna open your eyes
And make you realize
[Chorus:]
I just wanna show you
She don't even know you
Baby let me love you let me want you
You just see right through me
But if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful, miracle, unbelievable
Instead of just invisible
(Oh ho... yeah)
She can't see the way your eyes
Light up when you smile

It has been long ago
When i last felt this kind of feeling
A feeling that is uncontrollable
A feeling that is ready to burst
I, myself, was shocked
And couldn't believe
that I have fallen for you
or was it really love?
I don't know how or when
All I know that it grows everyday
Yes, its weird
Especially that I dont even know you that much
We've never talked
nor hanged out
We have different worlds
But why am I feeling this way?
Is love really this magical
that it had taken me under your spell?
The way you smile and look at me
Gives me warmth and hope.
But even if I believe
that fate has brought you to me
It is also fate
that is trying to slap me and wake me up
Coz no matter how much I may love you.
You love her and sees only her
I dont want to hinder your happiness
Coz who am I anyway?
I am just a girl
who loves a guy,
who couldn't be hers.
aww. sad. pero yung nga, that's life. ahehe. maghahanap nalang nga ako ng bagong prospect! ahahaha. hmp!
inkdrop: yung title ng poem walang kinalaman sa poem. hahaha.
ilang days ko na din tong naririnig sa local news namin dito sa naga, pati sa station of the cross kanina sa church inadvertise din to ni father so lulubus-lubusin ko na din at pati sa bloggywood e iadvertise din to.
earth hour. maybe you heard about it already, pero gusto ko pa ring ishare para mas madami makaalam.. its a campaign against global warming. the idea is that we will let the world leaders know that we are concerned about our mother earth and we should fight global warming. so on march 28, 2009, at 8:30-9:30 PM, wherever you are in the planet, there would be a global election between earth and global warming. to vote for earth, you must voluntarily switch off your lights (and any other appliance that eats up a lot of electricity) for an hour. in short, one hour na BLACKOUT AT YOUR OWN WILL!! 81 countries and over 1,800 cities had pledged to join this campaign. here in naga, the church bells will ring at exactly 8:30 PM to remind everyone that the earth hour had started plus there would be police patrols going around the city with its sirens on.
in this way, we could do something to help save mother earth. i, myself, don't want my future grandchildren and their grandchildren to live in a devastated earth (who does anyway?) and so this is one of the littlest thing we can do to ensure their future.
and so para pampakonsensya (ahehe) here's the video pres that we always show during our LTSs.. its A Letter From The Year 2070. its from a magazine published in april 2002.
sabi nga ni ate ace during her talks (siya naghahandle ng envi leadership talks e, pang self-awareness lang ako. ahehe..), "this could be possible, who knows what will happen in 2070? maybe during that time they had invented a machine that could send messages to the past. this letter might have been sent back to 2002 to warn all of us." tama naman diba? anything is possible and so whether this letter is true or not, we should take ACTION! and sabi nga sa last part ng video pres: "DON'T LEAVE THEM (your children) HELL AS LEGACY, LEAVE THEM LIFE!"
sabi ni mama kanina after the station of the cross, sasali daw kami. im so happy naman di ko na xia kelangan iconvince. haisk. now im excited for 03.28. i hope many would participate. oops, di ito simpleng lights out lang because the results of this election (earth vs. global warming) will be reported at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009. if this would be successful, then malamang finally all world leaders would open their eyes and address global warming. :)
