Acceptance

When things in good shape, non of us need questioning and reasoning why we are IN good shape and happy.  Everyone of us are in unison with spirit and mind.  No problems....nothing that can create chaos, can cause pain and suffering that will end us crying.  

But life is not all smooth sailing....not all cemented road...humps and bumps are all over the place...not all silence....there are few unwelcome sounds of guns and the killings....the peace is out of reach....even just for once since I was born and up to these day I never heard the so called TOTAL PEACE ON EARTH....

Christmas, Valentines, Lenten Season and all the so called special ONE day of celebration.....it still not doing  any perfect solution to all our earthly desire of greed and power.

Christmas...isn't it be the beginning of giving and sharing and loving to promote Peace On Earth...but truly there are some thousands if not millions of our fellow human being have nothing of basic needs.  But in developed countries all the lavish of material things that they don't even know what to do with them, until the next morning ends their fate in the garbage truck...  

Christmas time is now approaching and I am afraid what was the year after and before and after then and now it won't be of no difference...there are still millions of people living in refugee camps and in hunger.  Millions of people living in the street begging for mercy, millions of children no place to go.

Christmas they said that it is for families....but sad to say there are millions of older parents left unvisited for days, months, years and even until there dying days are totally forgotten....only to be remembered after they died...everyone will say 'to pay for their last respect to the dead.' Gosh what is the use....the dead person can't even hear, see or understand them...they're dead.....why not come when they're still alive and can see the smiles and appreciate your love...

Valentine's....hmmmmmmm everyone knows what is this meant....and I can't comprehend too...for me everyday is Valentine's Day... at night before we go to sleep we say to our love ones good night with a hug and a kiss, tell them that we love them and when we wake up in the we welcome the day of saying ...good morning, hug, kiss and tell them again we love them....for there is no other time, no better good time than that of the present moment!

Easter or Lenten the time to repent....but we do really?   I don't repent for that days only....I repent every time I realized that I made mistake, that I said something not nice to other people, when I've done something hurtful to others, when I am unfair to others, when I am in hypocrite in some ways...for me Lenten/Easter Season is of personal choice so as the rest of all the celebrations....for in truth almost of the so called One Day Special Celebrations including...mother's day, father's day and all the rest of the Days...that commercial institution can think of is just a farce........

FOR IN MY VIEWS....EVERY DAY IS A CELEBRATION OF ALL SEASONS OF MY HEART OUR HEART AND THAT IS LIFE AND UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.

The time has passed as you've travelled away
Words of promises never meant to kept
Like Seashells of Dreams drifting away from me
For you are always be a Dream never be a reality.

The joy has vanished when you've moved away
The silence of honesty is gone and cruelty around
If only my Seashells of Dreams I can hold in in my hands
To hear the songs from the oceans as the waves wash my hands.

The moment of realization only comes in the end of time
While the promises is still fresh and it said to be kept in heart
But in the world of mind...Seashells of Dreams is all I've got
In my dreaming you are still the joy of a friend that time can give.

The total aspiration I have for you my dearest friend far away
You can rest assure the one I am you've knew for just a short time
I am that one, never changed and always thinking of you at all time
For the happiness you've given me is nothing I can compare, no way!

BECAUSE YOU ARE ONE OF THE 'SEASHELLS OF DREAMS'
I AM HOLDING YOU IN MY HEART...NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN!
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING ME SEASHELLS FROM THE SEA
FOR IT BECAME THE JOY THE PART OF MY .'SEASHELLS OF DREAMS.'

EVEN YOU ARE BROKEN YET................YOU ARE STILL AMONG THEM IN MY HANDS.........AND IN MY HEART YOU ARE STILL THE PERFECT ONE!...

World of my Own

Whether I am in the crowd or I am alone
Only I can see what my heart tells me
Reason of understanding you may not know
Lovely things surrounds me in my own world
Dreaming of peaceful life among human beings.

Only if everyone of us do our share of kindness and tolerance
Freedom of religion and all can be achieved...UTOPIA ON EARTH.

Melody in my heart sings as I dream of peace on earth will come
Yearning from my heart, wishing the best things for everyone.

OH! World of my Own...while I am dreaming and wishing
Whenever I close my eyes I say a prayer to the LORD ABOVE
No more fightings and killings, for it is all waste of lives and time.

....World of my Own....Dreaming and Wishing....always smiling!

I am Afraid

I am afraid
what might be
just when i heard
the word INSULIN
my heart beats faster
faster and faster
because of fear.

I am afraid
what might be
if I use Insulin again
I was bloated and can't walk
the last time they given me
Insulin it wasn't good result
if they do it again, I am in fear.

I am afraid
what might be
a month I was given
to consider if I would have it
for they say, they can't do nothing
but to put me back in Insulin
please, release me from fear.

I am afraid
what might be
can YOU give a time
a moment of advice
for I am too confused
give me a word of courage
so I can get over my FEAR!

There were few moments in my life that I thought I knew people that passes through my life.  By their sweet words I am mesmerized in every sense of the word.  I always thought that people are all like me, trusting to anyone that comes my way. INTERNET SOCIALIZING IS A SUCH TO UNDERSTAND, MY BRAIN BEEN IN ROCK IN ROLL.....

By now I know that, our world is not the same as it used to be.  The world and the way other people live is just another name of game to the core.  I am ashamed to say that honestly so many time I trusted people, and in the end I ended hurt by their dishonest way of living.  Yet, it doesn't bother me in whatsoever if they that's the way they want to live their life, it's their problem not mine.

Three days ago, I discovered that once a person is a thick-skinned will always be that one.  Sorry, if I am so brutally frank of my thinking,  but it is that so, I believe.

Once again, I met a guy, and HE IS JUST ANOTHER NAME, TO BE FORGOTTEN IN THE END.
YES.......



WHAT IF........

WOULD IT MADE A DIFFERENCE????????

Honest Living

A month or so ago I was in the Philippines for a family reunion.  One morning I survey the surrounding and I've noticed at the back of our home there were few bamboo trees that are running wild.

So I decided to have it cut down.  My younger brother Jose Maria look for someone who can cut the bamboo trees, and how much would it cost me.

To cut the story short, he found a man to do the job.  For three days, he still clearing the bushes and gosh it was a 8 hours per day job.  I keep asking my brother for how long this man be doing the job for I am feeling sorry as too how little he is charging me. My brother said to me 'sister, you will never be a rich woman because you give away your money.'

With the helped of my brother he finished the job in 10 days time.  Time for payment...I give 50% more he was charging me.

He accepted the money with a big grin in his face as he said thank you, he counted the money and when he realize that it was more than what he asked for...he immediately handed back to me the money and said 'you've given me more than I asked for.'  "That's ok",  I said.  He shake his head...not accepting the extra money.

Until I told him that it is not an extra payment, the other money is for my appreciation of the job well done.

He can't thank me enough....which I am very embarrassed!

This is an epitome of a true FILIPINO VALUES THAT I AM PROUD TO SAY STILL EXISTING IN OUR PHILIPPINES.........I am proud to be a filipina born as proud as I am an Australian citizen!

A WOMAN

a WOMAN is the backbone of every home
like the MAN AS THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY
A WOMAN is a mother and foremost a wife
a mother full of love and understanding.


a WOMAN I am....no difference from other
can CRY when pain of trials comes to life
a WOMAN I am...not new to any sufferings
a WOMAN I am...I will never stop loving...


a WOMAN is often misunderstood by man (just my view)
yet what woman do often is too love much
a WOMAN is in between hard rocks of confusion
a WOMAN will always be a part of every man's life......


for A WOMAN.,

IS YOUR MOTHER
IS YOUR GRANDMOTHER
IS YOUR WIFE
IS THE MOTHER OF YOUR CHILDREN
IS YOUR DAUGHTER(S)
IS YOUR GRANDDAUGHTER(S)
IS YOUR SISTER(S)
IS YOUR NIECES AND AUNTS
IS YOUR FEMALE FRIENDS..................


SO, if you've been hurt of anyone of them....and the pain THEY INFLECTED is so intense and that made you CRY....forgive and the pain will go away.  


For we all do hurt each other one way or the other unintentionally......


I know I've hurt many people unintentionally....and also been hurt many times but I cannot bring myself to stop living and giving love.

CRYING FOR ME IS NATURE'S WAY OF CLEANSING MY INNERMOST FEELINGS!!!!!
