Waves that are closed together

There are times that we find ourselves in the brink of uncertainty when  

 gigantic flashes of challenges in life was thrown to us in  a drop of a hut.  

    And so,in the middle of such struggles, you may  be falling apart.

In different aspects and  situations, whether in social, or personal life, we may once walk to each trails of learning, to gain gold and glory as  we travel every stage of life's pathways...

 But what if  we were caught up in the middle of waves of trials?     

Where could we find strength to 

escape the waves that seems

 closed together? Fear and sorrow feels like strong waves that weakens a person  and lose hope to push through the water.  

However, it is apparent  that even the strongest waves changes. We just need to keep on moving to a right direction. And in the deep,small light comes in. Like the rising sun in the early dawn, the waves changes, and the water calms down, eventually.

      

As we walk this journey, we may lose track of time to oversee what's up ahead
or to find  bends in the road. Because life is full of challenges as well as surprises,
full of adventure in everyway. And while on trip, we enjoy each view.


Waves are part of our life. It is with spark, anyhow.
When I think of waves, I feel mystery about it.
I just want warm waves touching me in the seashore.
Great surfers embrace waves above the sea.
What are the waves you want in your life ?  

Friends in time and space

 

At Tim HoWan, Smegamall,Mandaluyong 
Metro Manila

Two weeks ago,

I  have been busy about my  

 day when in one afternoon, I  

received a message from messenger  

 inviting me to a dinner date of a get together   

with classmates  during my senior high school.  

I was reluctant at first, but when I learned    



that the one who organized our dinner was   

my long lost close friend, 

 I agreed to come. 

When you realized that you will be seeing  

the people during teen-age life, there  

are mixed emotions and things that goes  
across  the mind.    









I was wondering if how do they   

look like by now, after four decades ? 

How about their insights from 

their adventures as they explored life ?
would they be happy to see me ?  

How I wish I won't mess around if

I won't be able to call each one of   

them by names except by the few ?      










 

  

 

       I was excited to meet them although
 I was a bit quite unsure of the outcome of 
 meeting them again
except  the one who called for the invitation. 

  Me and my son arrived to the venue a little early, 
I was happier upon seeing my batch mate's gaze of  warm welcome to us, as John and his family 
approached us. 
    

 

Our dinner date that night was filled with   
jokes, laughter, fun and endless
talks of our past during high school days. 
Some were surprised to recall that

we've even been classmates when we  

 were in the second grade!

In our lifetime,  

there are  people from our younger years where we stayed in their hearts in time and space   

regardless the fortune they gained and the

long decades that has passed. 

I never thought that John, would hold the  

cross over for his batch mates to reach and get together again ! 

My pet serves as a crossover for my family 
 and friends to have a reason to be happy  
all the time !

The glimpse of time

Daegu, South Korea

Sometimes
I can't fathom how time flies so 
fast. It's like I just tripped 
the light, and then, in a blink of  
an eye,I feel like
 I wake up at the speed 
of  time  
in a constant change.







Every Mom knows the feeling 
of  beyond joy and fascination 
 when her children grew up and 
became amazing persons. 

 

Especially, when you find that your  
daughter is smarter and gained much talent 
even if you are unaware of it.  


When my youngest daughter Sam  
was still a toddler,she prefers to stay home 
rather than to be out and be  
on somewhere else
and was unlike other children. 
 As she grows up, she is bright and confident and loves 
learning and  also had passion in music, as  singing 
and playing acoustic and electric guitar.




Although she focused on her studies, 
she sings with her angelic voice and write songs 
 that any one would be stunned to hear.
And to add with that, I was also surprised
when I watched her dance on the stage 
while the crowd was also impressed by  
her performance !




I can say that I am lucky to have loving  
children despite my imperfection  
as a mother. 
I nurtured them, and thought them good principles  
in life as they grow up.
That's why they know how to appreciate the gift  
of life with its simple ways.




I believe that even pets do understand 
the meaning of love when it is rendered 
 to them.My shih tzu is a happy dog because 
she felt love  from our  family by fulfilling  

   

our responsibilities as fur parent.

 

 Sam has lots of desire to fulfill

     for the future ahead.
With her around, our home is always  
filled with laughter because of her wit
and nature of being funny. 
She sees life as a path of challenges 
 and a game to win with positivity.




As a mother, I always say that life is a gift to
be grateful despite its trails for us to pass by. 

So, how do we guide our children so they might 
discover their inner strength as they start to     
 learn what life is all about ?

Love with its kind

My best friend that stayed in my heart

In our life, there are people 

and things that come along our way 

 that left their marks

with ardent memories in our hearts

and in our mind.

Like how the teachers in grade school

attributed profound knowledge   

and values to young children. 

In my case, I once had an English

teacher during early school

that has imposed marvelous imprint  

on me in language that I still

profit even today.   

I also once had a friend so dear to me

that loved to hear and see me when

I speak at the pulpit in our church during Sunday Bible  school.

 She wished that I could become 

Jariel's peak, Agos river, Infanta, Phillipines

 a devoted speaker sharing the good news of salvation to all the people someday.With her wit, charm and being funny, 

she is a lady in a renewed spirit and 

loves the company of people 

serving God.

She stayed in my heart though

she passed away in one lonely

night of  November, 2004.

When I feel so down, I miss the old days

when I was with my supportive guy friend.

who used to help me wind up in time of 

my distress by taking me to parks, and to towns

that would amaze me.

He was a true gentleman whom I felt so respected, valued, and his kindness 

 was like a pillar to me.

 . 

I know that I could never again find another   

Becca  and Randie who once walked 

with me through thick and thin. 

It is inevitable that life has constant  

change, as well as people.There is only one thing 

that doesn't change--God's love that never 

 fails! 

My family in the church are resilient with me,brightens 
 up  my day and brings   

me hope, strength and uplifts my spirit.

Life is full of ups and downs. 

Up when life is flamboyant in the early stages   

of being in love. Down when the feeling of love

fades away ,..... 

Because even a smile couldn't conceal 

what hearts want to show,.... 

And when eyes cannot deny  

that pain and aching heart gives up 

that once called happiness,...

What makes my day

It's been a jolly morning for me 
and Waffle, my pet.

All fur parents can relate on  

how I feel whenever my pet shows 







her love and
 whispers to me as a way of
showing her happiness . 



Pets  give a good start 
 of  the day.
My shih tzu is jealous as a territorial breed.
If I call another pet in the house,
she would likely get upset and demands my attention
just for her.

Yesterday, I wasn't aware that she
 got out of our gate, 

and wandered in the streets
as she ran along that was
 too far from our home. 

I was lucky enough of
having good neighbors for 
bringing her back to me. 



On top of my voice I yelled at her 

in fear of

of what might have been   

if we lost her. With her low growl,while whimpering, she rest her head on me

 ,apologizing.  


If our loved one  caused 
  us emotional pain,
 what will it cost, so our heart may  heal ?

Will it be a regret on their side
and be a simple but heartfelt 
longing for a forgiveness ? 







Happiness from the love of people we value
as much is what makes our day

but if our love has no    
significance  towards whom we bestow upon,

I wonder what  

will make your day !
