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.

Minor Accident

Last night, i was rushed by Dirk at Klinikum Offenburg because of the burns on my right hand. I slightly burn our kitchen because i forgot that i'm cooking something. I really felt depressed and i kept blaming myself. Its an eye opener for me not to do two things at the same time. God is really good because i did not panic and my presence of mind avoided further damages on life and property. God is great because he gave me a very understanding and loving schatz.

An Afternoon with Friends

After work, its time to enjoy hot waffle and apple strudel with ice cream on the sides.

Family Update

My daughter Rose Belle and her family spend the holy week at her husband's hometown in Paete, Laguna. The place have a unique and spectacular way of celebrating the holy season. This annual event is not only a medium for Paeteños to display their religiosity but also a means to showcase the superb craftsmanship of their art. The week-long tableau is repeated every year and attracts visitors from other places.






My niece Marnelli joined the Mrs. Barangay Langgam beauty contest where she won the Mrs. Talent and 3rd runner up. My family and friends were there to give moral support and to cheers for her.

Easter Sunday

When we think of easter, what came accross our mind are colored eggs, bunnies, and candies but for us catholics, it is the most important christian holiday of the year. And today, we celebrated the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is also the most awaited day for kids for their easter presents and egg hunting activities.

Astrid and Anawangin Cove

For three days, my daughter and her friends experienced a back to basic living at Anawangin Cove. Its their perfect getaway for holy week because there's no electricity and mobile signal. I can't imagine her living without facebook but they survived it anyway. The place is a crescent shaped cove with a mixture of volcanic ash, white sand beach, pine trees and the mountain of rocks blended perfectly. Through the years, the hidden cove has maintained its beauty and serenity that can be attributed to its remoteness. The cove's relative isolation has kept it free from development but there's already a few huts and deep wells on this sparkling piece of natural beauty. Join me as i show you my daughter's adventure in Anawangin Cove in Zambales.
