Blogging from the Heart

I am always thankful for another day, for the life and for the wonderful blessings God had given me, a loving family and supportive friends. Everyday is a learning process and that is the very reason why i decided to blog so my brains will continue to work despite daily work and trials. I always write from the heart and not what i blog about, its how i blog it. Thats why i post even a simple lunch because friends are important to me.

Flores de Mayo

May is a festive month in the Philippines not only because its my birthmonth but it is where most fiestas are celebrated in by villages and towns. ‘Flores de Mayo’ also remains a highly anticipated Filipino tradition during this month. This beloved event is highlighted by the “Santacruzan,” a parade of lovely ladies and their escorts dressed in their best attire. For a predominantly Catholic country, the Flores de Mayo is said to be a tribute to honor Virgin Mary in a month long festival.
The parade of the Reyna Elena and her groom symbolizes the search for the True Cross in Jerusalem. My grandchildren back home participated in this religious event last saturday. Thanks to Facebook, i'm always updated with the activities of my family.

Elena's Birthday Celebration

A very good friend Elena celebrated her birthday today at their place in Zell Weierbach. Its actually a late celebration attended by close friends. She cooked a lot and its a combination of Pinoy dishes, thai and german foods. I did go there earlier and promised to return with Dirk. But he is too kaputt to walk because of the golf tournament and too much walking in Pisa and Florence. His newly operated knee hurts a lot and he needs to see his doctor next week.

Nanay's 5th Death Anniversary

For the past days, i really felt bad. One reason is the after effect of the minor accident at home. I'm slowly recovering but there's some strange feeling in me. I have some sleepless nights but its not yet full moon. I really felt restless and light headed until i saw the pictures of my family back home in Facebook remembering the 5th death anniversary of my mother. I'm too engrossed with my wounds and the doctors appointment that i forgot my mother's demise five years ago. Wherever you are Nay, you know that you will be forever in our hearts, we love you very much and i know that you're still looking after us. I will continue to pray for your soul everyday and i know now that this strange feeling is your way of reminding me of your presence in our lives. I still remember that you were buried on Mother's day and to the best mom in the world, this post is heartily dedicated to you.
