When HE says yes...no one can say NO!

I am inspired by this Picoult line... when God says yes...no one can ever say no 

I still can vividly remember how I got hold of a book by Jodie Picoult, and it was my very first book she authored..."Handle with Care" and I couldn't afford to just go without me having that copy. I read the back cover where a short glimpse of the whole story is written. After reading that book... I crave for more of Picoult ....

 Her books are highly recommended for someone like me who loves to read, and am sure again that you will never get tired of her and her novels... plus your shelves won't be complete without you adding some Picoult on it. 

I am halfway done reading Keeping Faith and I just got a new book again given by my son who instead of me giving him a gift on his birthday...it turned out to be the other way around. He let me choose from bulks of books on the shelves and I have but one author in mind... Picoult... 

To my Arvin, belated HBD  and I wish you all the luck in this world...Thank you for the gift, I truly treasure our friendship and the mother-son-thingy. I love you to no end. 

Holding on to hopes...

Now let's get down to this Malaysian Airline tragedy. Everyone is sad about the news since day one it hugged the newspapers. My heart too,  goes to the passengers and crew of the ill-fated Malaysian Airlines that vanished without a trace even until now. Joint search efforts has been deployed but it's still fruitless. Let's hope and fervently pray together for something to come up so to help shed and enlightened to what really happened that day it got lost. I don't know how I will say it in words but being one who travels not a lot but who uses this air transpo... I think I got this fear honestly specially when seeing the video of the Indian ocean with huge and wild waves. OMG..I don't even know how to swim... and so how could one be able to survive those waves if that MAS really went down that day. But miracle is miracle. Still, some hold on to hopes...hoping against hope that one day they will hear some good news about that vanished MAS370...but who knows?

From a casual "All right, good night" to a more formal "Good night Malaysian three seven zero transcrift, Malaysian aviation authorities are receiving all the flak from irate relatives who do not know if to mourn or still hold on to hope that  their loved ones are still alive out there. They were accused of mishandling the case to disclosed everything what is needed to give light and appease the grieving relatives of all the passengers of MAS370.

What really happened, only the victims knows and God too.

May they (search crew) salvaged even just a single flotsam to end the agony of everyone involved...

Let's continue praying that joint effort of the search team be able to find and locate the missing airline.

PS/
Been lulled again...and  I have been longing to write most of my days at home but becos my CP broke down a few years and I started using my Ipad...it curtails me from doing what I love most doing... most of the time while am home. Lol, am always at home doing everything my hands can get. Am just borrowing my son's CP and am not doing this always since am afraid to mess this thing becos I can't afford to do mistakes here. This is his heart and soul and everything depends on this computer since he is set to do his Junior Recital this coming few months...and he needs to do a lot of composing, notation, editing and or  what-d'you-call-it...  ~knockwood~

Time out!

Unless it's a good joke there's nothing to worry about. Let's enjoy first and be a little funny and crazy. This is one day where we can share and spend some time out kindheartedly in spite of the grueling days of busy work in the office or even at home.  Anyone can crack a joke and make fun but... be sure it's nothing but mere light jokes to be enjoyed and not to severe others. Some pranks are harsh and some are just being funny. Just blame yourself if one friend shun you for a few days for your not-a-nice-prank...letting her skid on banana peel. Ooops, not that silly one please, you will surely get a sharp stare after that prank. If it hurts then think of another one that will throw you both in laughter.

So, good luck!

May this year be a brighter one for all of us!

Just getting it off their chest...

The Aquino administration is receiving negative reactions from social media due to the voices of enormous Yolanda victims airing their true sentiments  on how they act a bit slow distributing the foreign aids after the violent Yolanda left the Philippines. Been days of thirst and hunger, cold and many got sick' old and children alike...and many cadaver still lying there without proper-handling of the casualties.  It's all over the news and am sure you or we are all updated to what's happening to ill-stricken provinces specially the hardest hit city of Tacloban. On my FB page I saw and read one post advising people not to judge the administration swiftly since that person saw a particular team working hard to help the victims in Tacloban for that day he took his family out of that devastated province. This urged me to write what I thought's more right. Having seen what he saw doesn't equate to what is really happening everywhere. So let's give their chance ... no gagging, no covering-ups please...let all these criticisms be heard for the betterment of our country's immediate action in time of crises.

let's respect people who's now shouting out their grievances as long as they don't go overboard and incite extreme harshness against the government since they have the right to be heard also, specially those who are in battered areas and who've lost their loved ones. elected officials are there to serve and help at their utmost capacity. we are just silently observing their actions, and this latest horrific-devastation gave people enough courage to speak their minds and so, let their woes be heard...

let **some** government officials receive all the flaks they deserve... they should all be under the scrutiny of the people who put them all in power.

PS/The mysterious 10 billion php Napoles  empire proves for the nth time that there are really this honcho-connivances and wrong-doings in our government. 

If no one will criticize, then who will...and when...?! Let it be fair and square...

Soar like an eagle...

"When a storm is coming, all other birds seek shelter. The eagle alone, avoids the storm by flying above it."

So, when life gives us storms as most likely it does... may our heart soar like an eagle... with our faith acting as shields to overcome everything. (leonoreaquino)

Super Typhoon Yolanda is here...

Stay safe everyone! And let's pray!

Life is unpredictable, it changes along with every individual. Today you have and tomorrow you may not have, be thankful for the good that stays with you...

(bruised from IV injection)




I have been complaining of my knee pain since I got back here last June. But yesterday I couldn't help but go to my doctor at Medical City for consultation. I was given Diclofenac via IV and stayed at ER until it's done. It just took about less than three -hour-stay. And off we went home after paying the bills. Really, health is our only wealth...

Lulled...

I haven't been updating my blog since my last post. Our internet server has got so many issues and I was compelled to terminate the contract and applied for another.

Am back now. Cheers...
