Yesterday is the 16th death anniversary of my beloved mother. I still remember flying from Portugal to Germany to Manila to be able to attend to her wake and burial. We visited her grave at Everlasting Peace Memorial Park and i know she is really very happy in heaven together with our other loved ones.
Maybe its a coincidence that her death anniversary is always close to Mother's day. To you Nay, happy mother's day in heaven and we love you dearly.
On my birthday, there will be new President and other public official. The national election will be held on Monday, May 9 and millions of Filipinos will go to polling places to choose who will lead the country in the next 6 years. My sister is really very busy campaigning for her presidential choice. For me, i am still not decided on who i am going to vote. Anyway, our lives is still the same, if you did not work and strive hard, you will not succeed. Your success depends on you and not on whom you vote. Our country is still very much heavily indebted, poor will remain poor and the rich getting richer. I just hope and pray that the new leaders will make our lives better and make the poor their priorities.
Everyday, dirk is walking around the village but of course within his strength. Along the way, he met Peter, an Austrian guy who is also married to a Filipina. He invited him at home and we had a nice conversation about life here in the Philippines. He is 73 years old, 30 years senior than his wife who has multiple businesses here around San Pedro.
Accident do happen and sometimes we really cannot avoid it. We really need to be aware of what we are doing and we should always watch our step. Because of my lack of concentration, i missed a step and fall in the market. Good thing there are some people who helped me and to make my story short, i landed in the emergency room of Unihealth Southwoods. I got a hairline fracture on my left ankle, bruised foot and thanks God i don't need an operation at the moment. I am now on crutches and my walker becomes my best friend.
Our new baby, actually my 15th grandchild was born last April 12. She is the second kid of Pau and Jr, my youngest and they named her Chloe Isabelle. I am lucky to be blessed with 14 grandchildren from my kids and one great grandaughter from my first born apo Argie. I thanked God for giving me a big family and for always being there loving, caring and supporting us. As a grandma, i wish them to be respectful of elders, loving kid to their parents, God-fearing and prioritize study so that we will have a good future.
Easter sunday is the day we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are thankful and blessed that slowly, we are returning to our normal lives. But still we should still follow health and safety protocols because the virus is still very much around. It is the time of the year where we need to reflect on our own lives, repent, live a good life, serve the Lord and help others. We should always remember that our Lord sacrificed HIS own life for us. A blessed Easter to All !!!
My grandson Kim turned twenty last April 8 and had a simple lunch followed by shoe shopping in the mall as his gift.
