hugs and prayers.

Image
My mother who died four months ago visited me in my dreams one night. I felt that it was a very sad dream which made me woke up from my sleep sobbing.  I really can't remember the exact scenes and I can't understand what could be the reason or meaning of it but what is very clear to me is that nanay wants me to know that she and tatay feel for me, that they are there for me. That morning, after dropping my son to his school for his graduation pictorial, I went to the columbarium where nanay and tatay's urn are kept. I sat down, stared at their tombstone and my tears started to fall. I told them I needed their hugs- to comfort me. Suddenly, everything came back, when tatay hugs me tightly at any time of day, for no reason at all, more so, when I am crying.  Only tatay's tight hugs makes me stop from crying. I may be considered as their strongest youngest daughter, because never did I show them when something bothers me, when I have problems or when I'm badly hurt. Bu...

F amilies that travel together, stays together. Never go on trip with A nyone you do not love. M emories made together last a lifetime.   Then I realized, adventures are the best way to learn. L et’s go on a trip, somewhere far away, with nothing but good people and happy thoughts. Y ou can always make money, Y ou can't always make memories. T ake vacations together, go to as many places as possible.  In the end, kids won't remember that fancy toy you bought them, they will R emember the time you spent with them. Life I s made for good famil y and great adventure. It's not the destination where you end u P , but the mishaps and memories you create along the way.

  Every relationship is unique, and it’s all about when you feel most comfortable saying "I LOVE YOU".

Whether you have or haven’t said “I LOVE YOU” before or you say it every day, there are plenty of other ways to make your partner feel loved with your words. Phrases that include support, appreciation, and honesty can make your partner feel loved equally as much as telling them outright that you love them.  This valentine’s day, I have 14 expert-backed ways to express what's in my heart to the love of my life: 1.  "I am proud of you" No matter what’s going on in your    life, I appreciate your actions towards a difficult decision or situation, and I acknowledge...

  Ang pag-ibig ay 'di lang pakiramdam 'Pag tumatagal, lalong dapat alagaan At kung 'di mo kaya na siya'y mawala Kung iniisip mo kung paano ipapakita Ganito Ang kanyang kamay ay hawakan mo Na parang hawak mo ang buong mundo Ang pangalan niya ay tawagin mo Kung pa'no sinisigaw ng iyong puso at kaluluwa Wala na'ng mas mahalaga yakapin ang dinarama Ng lubos, at kung ayaw mo na siya'y maglaho Mahalin mo siya ng ganito 'Di kailangan ng magagarang salita Ipaalam mo lang pinipili mo siya araw-araw At kung 'di mo kaya na siya'y mawala Kung iniisip mo kung paano ipapakita Ganito Ang kaniyang kamay ay hawakan mo Na parang hawak mo ang buong mundo Ang pangalan niya ay tawagin mo Kung pa'no sinisigaw ng iyong puso at kaluluwa Wala na'ng mas mahalaga yakapin ang dinarama Ng lubos, at kung ayaw mo na siya'y maglaho Mahalin mo siya Kaya mo ba'ng tumabi sa kaniya Kahit 'tulak ka niya palayo? Samahan siya sa madilim niyang mundo Para lang ipaki...

the heart knows when the search is over.

Many are searching, many  are longing For someone to be with not just for a week, a month or a year But for the rest of their lives who will say, “I’ll always be here”. You may probably meet one or two Who you have thought are so true But when things just fall apart All is left is a broken heart. Worry not, for with the grace of God Things began to look good from the bad With faith, trust and right amount of prayer Pain fades, self-worth and self-love brighten and will guide you to your perfect pair. God sees the desires of your heart, We simply have to believe, that’s our part Because God grants not what you aspire but what you are worth of More than what is in your heart, in your mind and all of the above. It will take you by surprise, How a person leaves stars in your eyes Or how you become a reason for a person to smile And make each day worth a while. Then the search is over, the heart says And you’ll show this to the world in many ways Because this is what you’ve been praying...

a good destiny.

It’s the unexpected that changes our lives.  Life seems incomplete without a plan. From day one, we are placed on a path that we are supposed to follow. Our parents and teachers give us the expectations they have for us and we set out to discover what this treasure map has in store for us.  Yet, we become so obsessed with these expectations that we feel everything in our lives must go according to plan. Whether it’s going to a raucous party or the age by which you want to be married, we have a strict perception of how our future should work.  But here’s a thing- the most exciting things in life are unexpected.  The future never unfolds exactly the way we expect it. Random factors come into play and force deviations from the perceived conclusion. Could you imagine how boring life would be if you knew how everything would turn out before you even experienced it? The world works in mysterious ways. Sometimes things will turn out in your favor. But when they don’t, you j...

emotions.

Emotional Stripper by Jordan Springer What Are Emotions – Feelings? Different people define emotions in different ways. Some make a distinction between emotions and feelings saying that a feeling is the response part of the emotion and that an emotion includes the situation or experience, the interpretation, the perception, and the response or feeling related to the experience of a particular situation.  John D. (Jack) Mayer says, “Emotions operate on many levels.  They have a physical aspect as well as a psychological aspect.  Emotions bridge thought, feeling, and action – they operate in every part of a person, they affect many aspects of a person, and the person affects many aspects of the emotions.” Dr. Maurice Elias says, “Emotions are human beings’ warning systems as to what is really going on around them.  Emotions are our most reliable indicators of how things are going on in our lives.  Emotions help keep us on the right track by maki...
