Easter Holiday!

Lent season is now finally over, and I realized a lot of things and gain new perspectives. Today we are celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord. We are celebrating Easter. We had undergone Holy Thursday and done with the last supper, mourn on Good Friday for the death of our savior and now celebrating the resurrection.

I was so blessed to have the schedule where I can serve the patients and at the same time to serve and be with the Lord, I attended mass and join the Visita Iglesia last Holy Thursday, it is a tradition in our family that is very hard to break, it is what I look forward every lent season, for it is one of those times where I can really talk to HIM solemnly and ask for forgiveness because I know I am part of those people who shouted to crucify him on the cross. I was one of the reasons why He died.

Good Friday. I had my duty and attended the "Simba sa Krus" then join the procession and made 'du-aw' with the Santo Entierro and the crucified Jesus. I had fasting and abstinence.

Black Saturday, the longest mass I ever heard. It took about 3 hours. But then it was worth it, because Jesus lives! He rose! We renewed our baptismal vow and had been blessed.

Easter Sunday, it's a good thing that I'm off today, I had spend time with my family in our own roofdeck. We had a pool party and lots of food and fun! A new bonding and memories to live by. I am so happy that we could still have fun and bond despite the busy life we all have, despite the pressures and stress of work, we could only have God and our family who will always be there for us! And I am so lucky no, I am so blessed to have BOTH!

I will forever be thankful for these blessings, a loving family and a God whose love is unconditional and majestic!

Happy easter everyone! =)

Really?

This is the sign posted on our PHARMACY DOOR. Since I started working about a year ago, I keep on asking myself if I am the only one who could see it or is it just invincible or unnoticeable. Even before I was hired I already saw this sign but then this very same sign is not that attractive enough for some people.
I am really pissed off because of this, because it happened not only once but a lot of times, and not just because the door is unlocked you can barged in directly inside. This sign is left unnoticed and these particular people just keep on going in and out of our territory.
I am a private person and even if the insides of the pharmacy is not my own sanctuary, I respect all of the things,people and anything inside. The simple sign is very much obvious for the unauthorized personnel not to enter. So, I'm really wondering if this sign is too hard to read or if is it too hard to follow!

Time to Let Go

Early this morning, we received a very bad news, my favorite tito from my father's side was taken by our very own friend,DEATH. He died at the hospital due to cardiac arrest. I am saddened by this loss but as well at peace by what happened.
He's the elder brother of my tatay, he's very strict but all the same funny. He is one of my favorite tito. He's the breadwinner of their family, and he's really working hard to give them the life they want. He only have his wife and his "adopted-prodigal-son". His "very good" son is the only member of the family that you will say as the black sheep. All of us don't like him especially the siblings of my dad. As a cousin, we could really tell that he's just swindling our uncle. But anyway, I'll just post another blog just for him. I don't want to ruin this post to give credits for my late uncle.
He's very generous and all of them says that I am his favorite niece. We'll almost of them like me. haha... He was very good, and very understanding. He's so nice, his only problems we're his vices, he was a chain-smoker, as in the "patay-sindi" type. He drinks as well, but then he's very industrious and loving.
I am just happy that we had happy memories together before he was gone. And I am very lucky to be his favorite niece. So I will let him go even though it is painful and sad, I want him to have a joyful life wherever he may be.
So, tito EDUARDO BARREDO, may you rest in peace and guide us wherever we are, especially your very own "prodigal-swindler-son".

FEB 14

Hmmm... It's heart's day! Another ordinary day! I just had a date with my first and last love, GOD! I had my usual eight-hour duty but then, no matter how busy we were, we had time to have fun! We had a good laugh!

Then, I just realized something. I like to feel what they felt, to be given something special by someone so dear or by someone who admires you. I had ignored a number of invitations this day. I had no regrets but then, I am not getting any younger. Sometimes, I wish I could fall in love too.

I want to stop now, before I began to post something bitter in this sweet day!

Sweet!

This was given to me by a friend... Thanks!

It's the LOVE MONTH!!

It's the first day of the LOVE month and it's another love month that will pass by without me having someone by my side. I am not in hurry for love, just what the song goes, YOU CAN'T HURRY LOVE, YOU JUST HAVE TO WAIT...

We'll I'm not actually envious with my friends who already found their prince charmings, or if they already near their happy-ever-after or maybe beyond. I am not jealous of couples, holding hands while walking, hugging and dating. In fact I am truly happy for them, because they have found love, they are in-love and they are happy. And what makes me happy the most is, love found them, at least if not for me, for everyone else.

I am just wondering what will I do during that day, because I know that restaurants will be full, cinemas will have the longest line though the showing is not that good enough, the malls will be for couples, the parks, if there's a park in BACOLOD, will be for sure the place for some couples too. (I guess LAGOON will be one.)

Valentine's Day is good for business. The flower shops will be full of orders and busy with their deliveries, because boys will give flowers to their girls. (but really, can't they give flowers to their girls on any other day??? should it be really valentine's?) Restaurants will full of reservations and couples dating (even the most tasteless restaurants will be full on that day) and I am certain on that. Malls will be having a sale for couples, and there will always be hearts and cupids hanging! The boutiques will be code RED and almost all of them will have this "VALENTINE'S SALE" and I think the last will be the chocolates! Chocolates will be disposed like water. Chocolates of any sizes and shapes will be bought, if not then it will be on sale the day after. Is greeting cards really necessary in these times? We'll if it's still trending, then NBS will also be extra busy.

It's also the time when all you can see on your news feeds are these lines "I love you honey!" "happy valentine's" "thanks for the gifts" and pictures of them together, with bouquet of flowers, chocolates and a kiss! I am not bitter, I am just stating a fact, and we can't really avoid it. I am just saying that Valentine's day is just any other day, it is just a normal day, but then it became so over rated and over publicized! We can always show our love to one another aside from this very day, right? We can always give flowers and chocolates to the one we love, we can date and reserve a table for two in a fancy restaurant other than this day. We can always walk hand in hand with the one we chose to love any day or any time we want to. We can go to parks and see movies (good movies) and will not line up to see bad ones any ordinary time that we are free.

We don't really need to be so mushy about this day, because we can always do what we want in any-other-odinary-day to our love ones. But then, we we're thought or so I thought that this day is made especially for the loving couples.

We'll if you ask me what will be my plan for this day, I will surely say that I will have a date.... Yes, you read it right. I will have a date, a date with the LORD. Because I know that no matter what happened, that even if I will receive nothing on that day, I will always have GOD! A GOD that will never cease on loving me, who loves me unconditionally and who will give me happiness beyond compare. Who knows, maybe by dating HIM, will I find the one who will do what I've mentioned above! So, have a happy valentine's to you to! Cheers to all the single! =)

I Miss You!!!

I miss you! Three little words. I miss blogging. I've been out for the past months or is it already a year, since I last posted? We'll my life have been very busy with work that I think I almost lived in the hospital, but then I never fail to write something. I just jot it down in my notebook or journal or even a diary. It's so happen that I didn't have the time to express my feelings through this blog.

I promised that I will be back, I will give time to revive this blog of mine. I was wondering that I still have time to open my FB account but I can't even access my blog. I feel so guilty about it, that I really reprimanded myself that blogging is more important and helpful than facebooking or just really gossiping! (LOL!)

I wasn't able to share the experiences I had. I wasn't able to express my feelings, the times I was so angry and the times that I was so high with happiness! I will make bawi this time! I know it is not enough for now, but I guess as the love month started today, my blog will also bloom as the days to come.. I still have 10 months before the year ends. TEEHEE
