The Kid on me

I’m totally in the mode right now. Thank you for the power of vitamin C, a good sleep and gallons of water. My health is back and in good condition but most of all to you my readers and friends for the sweet messages and comments. Sunny is up and back to normal programming…choz! Parang cable lang:)

Yesterday, I wake up around 3 in the afternoon had a cup of tea, grab a magazine and decided to open my door so fresh air can go inside my room. As I was enjoying the aroma of my tea and going through the pages of glossy magazines, I heard someone smiling and laughing in front of my doorsteps  and to my surprise  my  little neighbor paid a visit.
As I took these pictures, I’m surprised at how clever a kid. They handle themselves differently than adults and there is so much we can learn from their behavior. ( wow! nag papaka matalino lang! pag bigyan nyo na ako..choz!)

They live spontaneously; kids do not plan a thing they do, taking every uncertain moment for all it’s worth. Gora kung gora ang drama! They are never concerned with their lack of knowledge our qualifications. If they have never done something before, they are eager and if they fail, they simply brushes themselves off and take another stab until they get it right. Vkit ganun? Because we adult always have qualifications which are usually man-made restrictions proposed to keep passionate newcomers with grand ideas relegated to the margins. Hay buhay anik ba!

Kids love to Play, playing comes as natural for them because play time is fun time and kids love to have fun. As we get older we forget how great it feels to let loose and play around. It doesn’t always have to be a purpose behind our actions. Sometimes it’s healthy to fool around and engage in recreation for the sole purpose of having fun. Kaya go at  mag habulan na tayo! Kmusta naman Ateh! ang rayuma ko nitey! 

The best of all, they enjoy life simple pleasures-they don’t need a bunch of best selling toys in order to enjoy themselves…wag umarte! We adult always want the best fruit MAC and BLACKBERRY…ano aarte ka pa! but really life was simple without this fruits or rather this brand of technology. Put a kid in a puddle and watch him cheerfully splash around. Give an adult an old or outdated phone ( nagwala.com for sure ang drama) surely he wont use it and brag for the latest model. Give a kid permission to chase the cat around the house for a couple minutes, the giggle will be contagious or simply tickle a kid until he is beet red from laughter. All of these are simple pleasures that children love to partake. This should serve as a reminder for us that some of the best things in life are free. (dapat ganito ang ganap sa life oh life para bongells!)

And last week I meet a new friend, this adorable kid ....a lovely little angel but unlike ordinary kids who could play actively, Mikaela has a hole in her heart.(congenital heart defects). She needs to undergo  a heart surgery this December and hearing this story from her mom, breaks my heart:(
 So let me ask everyone of you to please ...please include Mikaela in your prayers

-thank you-

-prayer is one of the most powerful tools we have in this life-


Life is good!

  1. Side kwento lang:
    On my way home last night, napadaan ako sa hopsital where my nephew was confined. Bigla ko syang naalala. I wanted to cry but wala ng lumalabas na tears. I guess got tired of crying na. Hayun wala lang...

    well kids are very dear to me lalo when my 13 yo nephew passed away last January. Kaya when I see kid with such sickness. naaawa talaga ako kasi, they are so young to be in that situation.
    Will pray for your new friend Mikaela.

  9. ipagppray kosi mikaela.. mahilig ako sa bata kaya madali din akong maawa pag may ganyang kwento...

    Kung bibigyan ako ng chance na maging bata ulit, papayag ako.

    masaya kapag bata ka pa, walang problema, walang masyadong iniisip, kahit sa simple na mga bagay masaya na...

  10. One thing I love about kids is their honesty; they tell the truth no matter how ugly it is. When do we cross the line, when do we come to the point when we feel that truth is not such a good thing and we rather lie...

    Lovely photos, as always.

  13. I miss being a kid. =) And I love kids! Even before I had my own, talagang malapit ang puso ko sa mga bata. Now I'm doing the best I can to let my baby have a wonderful childhood.

  18. Kids are adorable. Have you read 'le petit prince' (or it's translation)? It really makes you understand how much more fantasy kids have!
    I wish your new friend Mikaela the best!

    Thank you for your lovely comment, dear!

  21. Glad you're alright now!

    Kids would always have a soft spot in my heart. I've also seen a lot of sick kid when my sister was confined to PGH for a year because she was battling some cancer in the blood and liver.

    Take care!

  23. I love kids too. Minsan pag may karga ako sinasabi ng friends ko bagay daw. hindi ko alam kung mababadtrip ba ko o ano. hahah!

    Pak na pak tong entry mo. sapul ako. Minsan kasi, we tend to be so conscious because we are concerned on what people might think. Nasasacrifice yung will to have fun. Sarap pa naman ng bawal no? char!

    I'll include her in my prayers don't worry.

  28. We'll pray for Mikaela. This life is too good not to be experienced by a young girl like her.

    Yeah kids really appreciate the simple things in life. That's a childlike quality we adults should always exhibit, so we don't get caught up in this materialistic world.

    Nice post teh! :)

  31. I love kids - it's always like summer whenever I'm around them. Especially those squeals of laughter and giggles! That's why a little angel visited you - to help brighten up your day and make you feel even happier after being sick.

Happy Halloween

 Halloween here in the Philippines is not like the Halloween in the Western countries. Although it’s a big holiday (comparable to Christmas here), we celebrate it in a different manner. Halloween in the Philippines lasts from the eve of October 31 (or even before this day) to November 2. Due to our strong Catholic background, Nov. 1 and Nov. 2 are spent remembering our dead loved ones and these dates will usually find most of us in one place only: the cemetery or the memorial park. We don’t celebrate it with pumpkins or trick-or-treats (although this Western tradition is sometimes practiced in some families / subdivisions here). We celebrate it through candles, flowers, prayers and a visit to the cemetery. You might think we have a very boring Halloween here. I mean, cemeteries, graves, prayers, etc. make it look like a serious affair. Not so. Spending Halloween in the cemeteries is a fun event. It’s like a mini-reunion for families and friends alike, a chance to have fellowship with

Starbucks Planner 2012- time to ingest gallons of caffeine!

I don’t have a problem with caffeine. I have a problem without caffeine…oh yes! I’m a self confessed coffee-holic. Last year, I suffered from gastritis due to over consumption of coffee but it didn’t stop me, my blood type is coffee and caffeine isn’t a drug, it’s a vitamin.:) So I switched to decaffeinated coffee (decaf). This coffee has less caffeine or 97% of its caffeine has been removed. It works with me. I no longer suffer from inflammation… goodbye antacids. I must admit that I love Starbucks,  (aaminin ko to, na-eenjoy ko talaga yung kape ng Starbucks bakit ba…social climber..OO ako na..hahaha.) so I often spend my rest day at WalterMart Makati Starbucks with a good book. Since it’s the nearest branch at di msyado maraming otaw…di magulo. Apart from their coffee, I’m a big fun of the yearly planner. Not for me but for my sister.  She has been receiving this gift from me for 3 years in a row na. sosyal at katapos back to 3 in 1 brown coffee na ulit...lol So by tomorrow, C

Today...I deactivated my FB

Today, I deactivated my Facebook account. In this crazy world we are living everyone is looking for the two (2) L…Label and Love. I hate to say this but as I grow old I’ve learned to see life as good and live life to the fullest. My life has never been easy and it never been easy to be me! I just hate it when people on your FB friends list start creating a bad view of you and giving you a LABEL which not heaven to my ears. Questioning your life and even my family at whole is hurting me. Is this because of the pictures I uploaded and with the status messages? I really thought FB is a happy place so I joined into this social networking but I guess I have to take break and later on might consider true friends suggestions: privacy or blocked specific person. Yes, I’m looking for my own LABEL but not the label your giving me and for the other L…I’ll just have to wait for sure love department will give its big shot in the right time but with this shot I’m currently receiving is such a stre
