Add Ons 2011

*Discovered Lampayan
I didn't expect to be here, but I was amazed on this nice secluded place. There was a river, rice fields, and mountains. The beauty of nature!

This is the hardest thing I did this year.

Barkada's Poem

A POEM TO A FRIEND

A cool breeze cooled our minds,

In choosing will to our destinations,

We’re happy to each other because we’ve met.

Had you remembered all these things?

From the start, we’re walking the same path.

Even you’re the woodland and I’m the grassland.           

Yet thorns may stick on our bare foot,

We’re still continued to journey both.

                        

              The time elapsed, the season changes.                                                                            

When green grasses turned black and trees golden leaves fell.

But each of us held the wind tightly,

For the dream we wanted was covered by clouds.

And we have learned to face sorrow,

We made a shield from the piles of happiness.

Changing the mind to the next level,                                    

This made us to complete the obstacles.

One day we both startled of what we found.

There’s a crossroad behind the path.

Putting each arms to our shoulders,

Joyfully facing the same way.

But suddenly we both noticed,

Crossroad has three roads to choose.

And the game master told us both

Choosing a will is an individual route.

A joyous smile turns to sadness.

Letting the waters drop from our eyes.

Your arm slightly slips from my shoulder,

Symbolizing our friendship to be temporarily broken.

Both of us wipe the tears from our eyes.

Ignoring the shadow of the great sorrow.

Being a friend, we laid our hands,

Hoping that someday we’ll see each one.

You choose the east, and I’m on the west.

But before the splendor, embraces break.

Reminding each other the things to be done.

Saying, “Friend, we’ll see each other soon”

Eyeball

It's really hard when you're away from family. This will be our first meeting abroad..

A Day to Remember!

  

"Dati tinatanong ko kung bakit umiiyak yong mga ikinakasal sa simbahan.
Marami akong agam agam at mga pabirong rason kung bakit dumadaloy ang mga luha sa pisngi nila.

Kaya noong ikinasal ako noong Abril 30, sa taong ito. Sabi ko sa sarili ko na di ako gagaya sa kanila. Taas noo akong nagmartsa papunta sa altar kasabay ng aking mga magulang para simulan ang sagradong kasalan. Nakangiti at masaya dahil ito na ang araw na magiging pormal ko nang pag-aari ang babaeng iniuugnay sa aking puso.

Iba pala ang pakiramdam ng ikinakasal! Para kaming Hollywood idols. Lahat nakatitig sa amin.
Sagrado nga ang kasalan, masyadong tahimik. Sinulyapan ko ang likuran namin. Maraming tao. Ibig sabihin malalaking pamilya nga ang ipinagbuklod namin.

Isang oras, natapos na rin ang misa at seremonya. Natapos na rin ang eksenang kiss the bride. Nagpalakpakan. Ang iba humirit ng isa pa kaya pinagbigyan.Lahat masaya. Sabi ko na nga ba, di ako umiyak. Dahil wala namang ikakaiyak sa mga eksena.Wala din namang malungkot na sinabi ang pari na makakatusok ng damdamin at emosyon.At kung meron man, di niya ako kayang palambutin. Matigas ako!

Hudyat na para lapitan at pasalamatan ang aming mga magulang.Nagyakapan at nagbigay ng mga tagubilin. Mga salitang nagpapahintulot sa akin na pag-aari ko na ang taong pinag-iingatan at pinakakamamahal nila. May bahid ng luha ang kanilang mga mata. Halatang pinipigilan ang pagdaloy nito.Ramdam ko sa kanila ang kalungkutan. At dito na nagsimulang umagos ang malamig na tubig mula sa aking mga mata ."

A Day in Pearl Farm

Our first out of town together on May 2010.

Houses built on the water.

A good morning..

Infinity pool with Parola bar

Hillside "Balay" accomodation

Pearl Farm Beach and Resort is one among best resorts located on Samal island in Davao.

Jonalyn, Ruby May and her daughter Ruro with us in Pearl. Snorkeling and island hopping.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

 

"Pearl Farm is a private resort which helped me to relax. I admit that its quietly expensive but my stay there for two days is worth for the price. A breath taking scenarios of beach, Parola bar, Malipano island, and famous Mount Apo."

A Life's Vision

 June 30, 2006,  Bataan.

Katulad ng pangarap ng isang makipot na ilog,

Na ang tanging hangad ay marating ang bughaw na dagat.

Malalim man o mababaw ang problemang makakaharap,

Ito'y makakaraos at makahanap ng lusot

Upang agos ay malaya at DESTINASYON ay maabot!

Sa lahat ng pagsubok, sa Panginoon ako'y yayapos.

Mga pansamantalang bagay, tanging sa Kanya ko iaalay.

Kahit aking kahilingan, pangarap at tagumpay,

"Salamat" ay di sapat sa Kanya'y maibigay.

Ang pag-aagusan ko'y may mapiling kasama.

Karamay sa habambuhay, sa hirap man o ginhawa.

Magsisilbing inspirasyon at mapag-arugang ina,

Sukli ko'y pagmamahal at responsableng asawa.

Sa aming mga anak na lalaking mapagmahal,

Aking sisikapin at buong pusong ibibigay,

Mga pangangailangang materyal man o emosyunal,

Upang ako'y maipagmalaki at inyong tularan.

At sa lahat ng taong aking nakilala,

Kapamilya, kaibigan o sa trabaho ay kasama,

Aking pipilitin na sa inyo'y magpakilala,

Mapagkumbaba na may kabutihang dala.
