Last February 25, the Philippines celebrated the 24th anniversary of People Power Revolution (or the EDSA Revolution). The People Power revolution paved way to remove the martial law president, Ferdinand Marcos from power. The same incident made the late president Corazon C. Aquino the first woman president of the country. A simple and gentle yet intelligent homemaker led the country and brought democracy back.
I was only 4 years old then. I remember that I used to join my father climbing the roof of our neighbor. My kuya Michael and kuya Nomer even lent me telescope so I could see the “tora-toras” flying in the sky. We live in Rosario, and the incident happened in EDSA Ortigas which is just about 10minutes away from where we live. I have no idea what was happening then. All that matters to me then was I enjoyed watching little planes flying.
Handog ng Pilipino sa Mundo (Gosh this video and song make me cry always.)
Only when I went to school that I realize the importance of that incident. I always get teary-eyed when I see in the tv the nuns and the people from different walks of life joined arms and prayed the holy rosary together. That event really proved the power of prayers. It also showed that we Filipinos could make our country a better place to live in if we will be working hand and hand.
Remembering EDSA Revolution will never be the same without the democratic icon, Cory Aquino. She may have left us last year but her legacy, her courage and the love she had for our country will continue to inspire every Filipino as the next century unfolds.
Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I’d stay up and think of you
And I’d wish on a star
That somewhere you are thinking of me too
Cuz I’m dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I’ll be holding you tight
And there’s nowhere in the world I’d rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming about you and me
Wonder if you even see me
And I wonder if you know I’m there
If you looked in my eyes
Would you see what’s inside?
Would you even care?
I just wanna hold you close
But so far, all I have are dreams of you
So, I wait for the day and the courage to say
How much I love you(Yes, I do)
I’ll be dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I’ll be holding you tight
And there’s nowhere in the world I’d rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming about you and me
Ahhh…I can’t stop dreaming of you
Ahhh…I can’t stop dreamin
Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I’d stay up and think of you
And I still can’t believe that you came up to me
And said, “I love you; I love you too”
Now I’m dreaming with you tonight
Till tomorrow, and for all of my life
And there’s nowhere in the world I’d rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming with you endlessly…
I am still here in the office taking advantage of the net (wehehehe!!!). Well, another week is over and I am really happy that it’s my rest days again. As always, work has been very stressful. But God continous to help me and inspire me. I know that He knows that I need to be patient and need to work hard. He knows that I have a lot of obligations on my shoulder, especially to my family. I know that He doesn’t want me to quit that’s why He always assures me that He is there for me.
I’ll keep hanging on to you, Lord. I know that You alone is my strength, my shield.
We should always keep our faith, God will never let us down.
Last October 28 (2009), my daughter celebrated her 4th birthday. Wow! I cannot imagine how time passed so fast! ? I remember the day when I learned that I was pregnant. The first person I called to break the news about my pregnancy was my best friend. I was in Lucena then to meet ney when I had my pregnancy test. It’s so nice to look back and reminisce the things I went through before I gave birth to Nonet.
On her 4th birthday, I bought her cake from Goldilocks. I brought her along when I bought the cake. My mother cooked spaghetti, fried chicken and lumpiang shanghai. We didn’t have any party at all. It was just a small feast with family. Antoinette was so happy especially when she blew her cake. ?
I wish and pray that my daughter will grow up healthy and strong. I pray that she would grow up a fine woman, and would finish school. I do not come from a wealthy family, I do not have much money to give her when I’m gone, but I would see to it that she would survive life’s challenges when the time comes for me to leave her.
This week is my 4th week in transition queue here at Dell. So far, well, it is really tiring and stressful. Maybe I am not used to my new world yet. I always pray that God bless me at work and that I will do good here. I know that He is always there to guide and support me. I know that God gave me this work and I know that I will be able to make it here. (Well, hopefully! )
It has been a terrible week for me last week. :( I guess not only me but for all those people who have been affected by typhoon Ondoy.
Last Monday, that was Sept. 29, I came into the office very late. ? I always leave the house an hour before my shift. During days without traffic, it would only take 15 minutes to get into the office. That’s why, I still have plenty of time preparing myself for work, scrubbing my open cases, eating, etc. I know that the after math of typhoon Ondoy isn’t over yet. I left the house last Monday the usual time. I couldn’t believe the time it took for me to get into the office. ? An hour and 18 minutes! It was not only me who was late but we’re quite a few. Our office has been very considerate for we were given amnesty for being late. As you know, it is a grave offense to be late and to be absent in there.
It wasn’t a good start and I was so upset for the rest of the week. I had been called out for missed callbacks. I wasn’t able to meet our sales target. Whew! I told my friends that I want to quit. :(
Well, I hope that this week would be better and I hope that God will continue to bless me. I know that He has given me this work. I believe that He will always be there for me, for all of us. Challenges come in our way, but that doesn’t mean that we quit easily. Last Sunday, I heard mass with my family and I prayed that God would continue to enlighten and strengthen me.
After 7 long days of not reporting to work, I finally came back to work today. I didn’t come late (and I’m happy about it ). Nothing has changed since the last time I’d been here. Well, I have had 8 calls already and no sales yet hmmm.
Anyway, my day just started and I still have a long day to cope up with our daily sales target (hopefully ).
I’m still in the hospital today. I just used one of their Internet kiosk to update you guys. Sorry, I haven’t posted pictures about my recent trip to Quezon. It wasn’t a like a vacation though, but I took advantage of my stay to bond with cousins and my nieces and nephews.
Anyway, my little angel is still confined due to Dengue fever. Her platelets drop to 98 the other day but it is now in the normal count today. We’re about to be discharged today but, though her red blood cells’ count is now normal, her white blood cells dropped below the normal count. It isn’t safe yet to leave the hospital. She is again under observation.
I’d been absent from work for couple of days already and I hope my bosses specially my tc will understand. One of the nurses who is attending my daughter told her to get well soon so that mommy can go to work already. I hope and I pray, too.
I and ney were surprised as we watch the morning news today about the death of music’s king of pop, Michael Jackson at the age 50. According to news, cardiac arrest was the cause of his death. But there would be investigations to be done about this.
Jacko as we know has gone through a lot of intrigues in his career. But those can never change the fact that he will always be remembered and his music will continue to linger in every man’s heart.
Well, that was what the doctor’s first impression. I was preparing myself for work last Monday, when my younger sister noticed the rashes on my daughter’s skin. She has fever since Thursday night. I brought her to the hospital last Saturday but the doctors advised us to observe her further and bring her back to er if her fever persist.
Last Monday her platelet cout was 145. Yesterday it was only 117! Earlier this morning hospital’s med tech got ample of blood samples again and there was no result yet when I left the hospital for office to get Philhealth form.
I pray to God that she’ll be okay and that she get well soon.
Today the Philippines is celebrating its 111 years of Independence. Looking back, we remember the courage and heroism shown by our national hereos. Let us not waste their heroic deeds and let us continue the legacy they left to us. Let us all be watchful and protective of our freedom..
Happy Independence Day to all the Filipino people all over the world!
hmmm.
