LONG & WINDING ROAD

Oh man! I'm in a mood right now to share w/ you insights about my recent activities or whatever! Anyway, countless days have passed through and I can't even recall the significant one coz most of the days were all alike. Same routine, same old brand new day.
Here's what my mind can remember.....

July 10-12, 2009 = A short vacation in Dagupan to celebrate in advance the 1st year old birthday of my dear little cousin, PJ/patrick james. It was four of us [me, ate anabel, meryl grace & angel mae] managed to visit since there's no classes [friday] and the coming 2 days were obviously weekends. The journey going there was for about 6 long hours. Sitting for that long is becoming an easy one for me knowing that I mostly travel several times a year. Going back to the intention of the visit, other thing that was prepared for the family was an overnight swimming in a resort in Labrador, Pangasinan. The weather was like unpredictable. If it rains at this time, few hours later, it's sunny. But nothing can't stop us to enjoy the breeze of rural's clean air and clear water t[hough we're just in a pool]. The pools were not crowded by unknown people. It looked like we rent the whole resort I should say.



July 30, 2009 = Interviewed by the chief nurse in Perpetual Succor Hospital. My first time to be interviewed in a hospital but before you assumed that I'm applying for a staff nurse position, sorry I'm not. How I wish but it was just a volunteer nurse for few months. Good thing about that day was I'm one of the fortunate ones coz I'm the second in line to be interviewed then after me, the interview wasn't resumed hence, rescheduled next week w/c was really frustrating were most of them kept waited for I think 5-6 hours including me coz after my interview i decided to rather stay & wait for them to proceed. I met new people, friends or colleagues who became close to me after a few conversations, laughter & sharing.

August 10-14, 2009 = RED CROSS WEEK. BLS & SFA Training in PNRC Rizal Chapter. Met new friends and learned a lot!! Super fun and I never thought that I'll enjoyed the training! *photos to follow*

August 15, 2009 = Christening of Aiken Josh, Kuya Glenn's baby!



August 16, 2009 = Job Hunt around Pasig City and few in Makati City w/ Che. Like before, there's no good luck for us. In addition, the rainy climate was so irritating getting us out of our league but never gave up 'til our last pit stop where we saw a bright future though it still blurry for a naked eyes to see..WTF?!!

August 15-18, 2009 = 4 days vacation of Ate Jan, Baby Shawn & Karen in Laguna before they leave for good. We had a lot of fun together in the remaining days that they're here in the Philippines. We went oh so gaga dancing and fooling around. Yep, you read it right, we danced the dance craze "nobody" trying to memorize the step but unluckily, only the 1st phrase and the chorus were learned lol. Red wine while setting the timer / smile detector of the digicam doing crazy stuffs / poses definitely super funny!



August 18, 2009 = Lola's arrival from Ormoc to stay here in laguna for indefinite weeks. She came here to visit us and to see her "apos". This day also the time Ate Jan and rest were went off to Tarlac.



August 21, 2009 = Ate Arlene and kids [potpot & PJ] arrived!!! So good to see Pj grew that BIG literally!! The Coquia kids were reunited w/ their ate angel who's studying here in Laguna away from them.



August 23, 2009 = BON VOYAGE!! Ate Jan & Baby Shawn's departure going to Qatar where Kuya Warren employed. At last, they're together after a long time of being technically apart. Surely, I'll be missing both of you.

August 30, 2009 = Family Fun Day @ Angel's School, Canossa School. Me and Ate Anabel came w/ Angel to attend the said event. There's few games for the kids as well as parents to play. Some intermission numbers prepared by the kids [Senior kinder]. Angel played the calamansi relay and I can say that she's really good coz the calamansi did't fell down the floor..hehe. Afterwards, we decided to drop by @ Sm Sta. Rosa.
= Kuya Aming arrival from KSA. After we roamed around @ SM, we went home to see our relatives come together, more like a mini reunion thing.

MOTHER OF DEMOCRACY

R.I.P. CORAZON AQUINO
I'M SO LATE...! I know!! ahahaa...but this is just a simple message i want to everyone to realize.. Death is maybe the end of life, but the essence of living and dying for a perfect reason is unmeasurable. Sacrificing oneself for the whole nation and getting our right for freedom, indeed was the bravest thing to do considering the faith to God above anything else.


SALAMAT po.


Messages from people who will truly miss Tita Cory.



I made a poem for tita cory...

"YELLOW"

A renowned woman reprived from pain
Whole nation grieved in the pouring rain
Debris dreams from the past were revived
Only until she have fought the fight

Pious person and mother of all
Simple, endearing, and lovable
Honest leader with integrity
A servant of God consistently

A sudden melancholy occurred
Made her contributions remembered
Craving for eternal freedom
That will bring us all to the kingdom

She never failed us, not even once
Surrendered her heart and soul for us
Driving force towards democracy
Truly contagious as we have seen

Tranquil battlefield as you called it
Peaceful encounter with enemies
Prayers considered as a medium
Vehicle going away from doom

Inert emotions were diminished
Unchained after decades of hardship
She unified the Filipinos
Her exceptional spirit still glows

Now that she's gone, Filipinos mourn
Biggest sympathy to the nation
For they have lost a grateful treasure
Inspiration to a bright future

Cory, a name that speaks thousand words
Heroine. truly admirable
Yellow confettis to salute her
You'll remain in our heart forever.
