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.."

If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase "goodnight, sleep tight".

It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. 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.

note: R18! hahaha!
In ancient England a person could not have sex unless you had consent of the King (unless you were in the Royal Family!). 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... (with the other letters in!) Fornication Under Consent of the King" on it. Now you know where that came from.

In Scotland, a new game was invented. It was entitled Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden....Thus the word GOLF entered into the English language.

ako'y nagbabalik! yipee!

yey! im back officially! haha. pasensya na at ngayon lang nakabalik, grabe kasi ang turn of events. haha. sige na nga, i'll make kwento na. mahabahabang kwentuhan to. haha. parang diary na din.. holyweek 2009.. :P

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. :)

na miss ko kayo!! pahugs nga! :)
