Promises to Myself...

I had these thoughts these past few days and I promise myself to share these in this blog...

I have thought of just making promises to myself...

I promise to be myself (the who and what I am) for the rest of my journey in life...this is accepting my human limitations, my weaknesses and my shortcomings...

I promise to be grateful for all the blessings I have and share these to those who are in need...extend and reach out to others ....

I promise to continue to serve my sense of purpose in life....this. I am absolutely aware of.... I know I am on the right track...so I guess, I just have to continue doing things that please my Father in heaven.

I promise to make sound and healthy choices and decisions...the need for me to really foresee the results and consequences of every choice and decision I make.

I promise to be more responsible and committed in doing the tasks as a child of God.

I promise to listen to the concerns of others not only with my ears, but with my HEART for me to be able to empathize with them in their situation.

I promise to understand people with hang ups or inhibitions, those with idiosyncrasies, those who are NOT level headed, immature and insecure...I will pray for them and raise their issues to the Father God.

I promise to express my ideas, my opinions and insights at all times. Keeping them will not make me the WHO and WHAT I am for I will not be real and true to myself.

I promise to humble myself with all life's blessings...to be a down- to- earth person, to be an ordinary woman, doing extra ordinary things in life.

I promise myself to live for the moment...not thinking about the past and the future...

I promise to always forgive those who have wronged me, because I know that I have a forgiving heart and that this would please my Father.

I promise myself to use and share all my competencies, the talents and abilities God has bestowed upon me...

I promise to acknowledge and thank the people who bring out the best in me...those who affirm me and believe in me...

I will have more promises ....I promise to add in the list of my promises as I journey to life...and will do... because...that I PROMISE....

What If?

I was asked to answer this question by a friend then...the question was...What if you are given to live your life on the following time frames: 24hours, 7 days, 30 days, and 1 year? How will you live your life?

Hmmm...I just thought of these answers spontaneously...I write as thoughts come into my mind...so, I will live my life this way...

in 24 hours...

...I will be with my family and friends for a celebration of a life that is worth living. I am basically a cheerful person so I want a happy atmosphere on the last day of my journey. So, I want to enjoy and have fun. I will party with friends...

...in 7 days...

...I will have an alone time with myself...a reflection...then I will have a colloquium with a friend priest for another day. I will spend a day or two with my parents, brothers and sisters (bonding). The remaining days will be spent with my husband and kids, making each day as if it is my last. I will make sure that I will have fun with them.

in 30 days...

...I will go home to my birthplace, in Tacurong, I will go back to Davao. Visit my friends and relatives, my alma mater, and some places (beaches, etc.). I will eat durian to my heart's content....hehe this will be for a week.
....I will spend 3 days with my aeta-friends in Florida, Pampanga. I will have an immersion with them. They usually visit me during Christmas for 7 years now, and so I guess it's about time for me to visit them in return. I will see them and express my heartfelt thanks for giving me the chance to help them.

Helping them in my simple ways is my legacy to my kids. When I was in Japan, my kids have continued what I have started. I will surely miss them... they have definitely made me realize how blessed I am.

...I will travel...explore other places...do things which I have not done which will make me happy in my last days...give time to some of my unfinished businesses (watever) here on earth...
...and..stay at home for the remaining days and live normally as usual...

In 1 year...

...Hmmmm I still have so much time to go on with life....I will NOT think that I only have one year to live so I will be HAPPY. I will just live a normal life...I will live each day...

Friends...Friends...Friends....

Friends are blessings in life...

MY WISH MY DREAM

I thought you have changed through the years
But you have remained as you are.
Same person I have known to be caring, loving,
Thoughtful and sincere,
A man with good heart, with decency and dignity.


You have touched my life with our meeting
Because you have made me whole and complete
With the things you have said and you have done
It feels good to feel that I am special and important
And I want you to know that this profound and
Intimate experience I had with you will forever be
Treasured in my heart.


How I wish I have the power so I can be with you,
So I can feel the passion and love you have for me
But for now, I can only reminisce everything, every
Moment, every act of love that I felt.
Everything was indeed an expression of what we
Deeply feel for each other.


How will I ever endure the longing I have for us to be together again?
How will I ever accept the reality that only time can tell when our
Body and soul will be one again?
I can only WISH…I can only DREAM…but I also believe deep
In my heart… that one day we will be with each other again.

We make our DESTINY…so they say..
And if our LOVE is pure and true
We can make this WISH and DREAM come TRUE!!!
