The world is too much with us
The world is too much with us: late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers.
Little we see in nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
This sea that bares her bosom to the moon,
The wind that will be howling at all hours,
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers […]
Bowl of Happiness
“Happiness is a bowl of warm soup.”
WHEN someone in the family has a cold and no appetite for food, I usually prepare some hot soup and serve it to them in one of these happy faced bowls for I believe that these bowls can somehow condition their minds to make them feel better and […]
I’m in charge here, don’t make a mess!
I AM bothered.
I am bothered that I am the central point in our family. I am bothered that my husband’s life revolves around me; that he has to consult me in everything; that he depends on me for his secretarial needs; that he doesn’t even know the medical history of each of our three kids; […]
Random thoughts on a lazy Sunday
I AM right now in my daughter’ condo unit here on Ortigas. Been here since yesterday while Gem and roomies are at Sofitel Philippine Plaza for an overnight observation/immersion stay - a requirement for their HRM class. She called me up last night and described the nice view from her room which is overlooking the […]
Back to regular blogging
Hello, dear blog friends! I have resurrected! I am home! Yes, after being away for several weeks, here I am now, happy to be back.
Well, I was not actually completely away from the blogosphere, because I had much fun “gallivanting” to other sites (while staying away from mine -hehe), and been a frequent visitor/lurker of […]
Silence…
“Why are we embarrassed by silence?
What comfort do we find in all the noise?”
(Quoted from: Tuesdays with Morie by Mitch Albom)

THOUGHTS FOR COFFEE BREAK…
“To live content with small means, to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion;
To be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly;
To listen to the stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart;
To bear all cheerfully, […]
Learning from pain
It’s a depressing Tuesday. I have a thousand and one things to do, but here I am, sulking in a corner, not wanting to move.
Anyhow, I am trying now to veer away from this unpleasantness. It is my loss if I continualy allow myself to be a victim of this clammy state. Looking around my […]
Unfinished symbol of unfinished tasks
This is an unfinished cross stitch project that I started in 2002. Until now, it is - well - unfinished. I have posted a brief entry about this some months ago in which I made a promise to finish it before the start of year 2007. Unfortunately, it’s already the middle of the year, […]
Bayan Ko
Bayan Ko
Ang bayan kong Pilipinas
Lupain ng ginto’t bulaklak
Pag-ibig ang sa kanyang palad
Nag-alay ng ganda’t dilag.
At sa kanyang yumi at ganda
Dayuhan ay nahalina
Bayan ko, binihag ka
Nasadlak sa dusa.
Ibon mang may layang lumipad
Kulungin mo at umiiyak
Bayan pa kayang sakdal dilag
Ang di magnasang makaalpas!
Pilipinas kong minumutya
Pugad ng luha ko’t dalita
Aking adhika,
Makita kang sakdal laya!
Inaamin kong isa ako […]
