Greetings for Papa Boy

Happy 61st Birthday to my forever boyfriend Papa Boy!

i miss you so much and mama too.

Niji can't wait to see you both when you get home.

We all love you.

Have a blast on your birthday papa!

this is papa's birthday cake

and here's Niji's birthday surprise!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter Everyone!

hope everybody's enjoying this special day.

here's an easter bunny for all of you.

i took this photo when we were in Macau, i know this would come in handy.

so how did my day go?

well, i spent the whole morning with Niji as usual.. playing, eating and sleeping..

here's a pic of my Pretty Baby Niji having her time on my bed.

one of our morning love love moments. pure happiness!

and here's our BIG breakfast! Easter Sunday is a feast day ayt?

i went to Sunday mass at around 8am.

so sad i didn't get to wake up early for the "SUGAT"

where the Risen Christ finally meets Mama Mary.

it has been a long time since my last super early mass.

i took a nap when i got home, recharged myself for my lunchdate with relatives.

on saturday, i was torn between going to Enchanted River with some friends

and staying home so i could go to our family's little gathering.

it took some time for me to decide cos i wanted to do both.

here's a chance for me to go somewhere new and far for the long weekend,

something i was wishing for even before the vacay started.

but i wanted to see some of my relatives too.

i guess family should really come first. i turned the offer down.

well, Enchanted River can wait but these little kids can't.

Nasasaktan din ba ang langit? Bakit tila umiiyak siya?

Alam ba nya ang nararamdaman at nilalaman ng puso ko?

Bakit tila yata napapanahon ang kanyang mga luha?

**sigh**

aaaaahhh! a little bonding session with my titas and cousins..

wine drinking and some catching up moments..

a bottle of Maria Clara and Cointreu surely did the trick.

i visited my other lola afterwards. i called my mom so lola and her can talk.

i had a conversation on ZUMBA with my cousins who were there too.

such a wonderful day. surely, i did not regret not going out of town.

VISITA IGLESIA

my share of the HOLY WEEK..

So what is VISITA IGLESIA? It is a Filipino devotion of visiting seven or fourteen churches in order to pray and meditate on the passion of Jesus Christ. It commences in the late afternoon or early evening of the Holy Thursday.

It has been our family tradition to go on seven churches on a Good Friday though.. and here's our route for this year...

1. STO. ROSARIO PARISH

2. SAN LORENZO RUIZ PARISH

3. ST. PAUL PARISH

4. OUR LADY OF FATIMA PARISH

5. STA. ANA SHRINE PARISH

6. REDEMPTORIST CHURCH

7. SAN PEDRO CATHEDRAL

papa on cam

after more than a year, i finally saw papa on cam.

thank you skype!

hello papa!

nothing beats a good cam-to-cam conversation with papa. happy that my good old folks has finally binded with technology. armed with no knowledge whatsoever on how to use a simple computer, they slowly studied how to be onliners. yahoo messenger was even out of the context. no idea on how to download, no idea on how to log in so they settled for a much easier recourse --- facebook. yes they are both facebookers on their 50s.

i got a little surprise today. i'm off from work and was planning to go to the hospital for a checkup. but papa said he finally got skype! (kudos to mark for helping papa.) woot woot! they're finally skypers! yahooo! so i ditched off my checkup and stayed home. no regrets. i got to see my papa on cam after 15 long months, it's just damn priceless! i'm glad he gained a little weight compared to the photos they had months ago.. plus i got to see their place. it was indeed small. i was laughing while papa was telling me about how they got all the things they have on that apartment. but i felt sad when i saw the couch they sleep in. yes they officially don't have a bed. they had to get rid of it coz if they don't they'll be homeless in five days. that's a crap! "leche ning mga kutinga ni!" i said to myself. hope they can get a better bed soon. gosh! when papa told me a brand new bed costs more or less $1000, i almost fainted! that's too much man! but they're planning to get an air bed instead, it's much cheaper. hope they'll get to sleep comfortably soon.

i hope to see mama on our next skype session. she's still at work so i haven't seen her earlier. i'm also planning to get my ass over my granny's place on sunday to paint smiles on their faces. i'm sure seeing everybody here in the Philippines with make them feel at home again. missin' them so much. talk to you later mama and papa!

Thank you SKYPE! mwah!

P.S. i was about to take a souvenir picture but i was a bit late cos papa already clicked end call button. lol (gipatulog sa nako kay magwork pa xa night shift)

a Prayer for Len

oh lord, we acknowledge your power, your healing power.as we pray now, touch the body of marilene. by your power, may the medicines aid the recovery of the injuries of marilene. guide the hands of the doctors and medical personnel so that healing will take place. allow marilene to completely surrender to you so that your healing power will take place. nothing is impossible in your name, these injuries are so small compared to your greatness Lord! We pray in the mighty name of Jesus,

Amen!

P.S. i asked kuya aying to help us pray for my cousin earlier this morning.. then he replied with this prayer and told me this " you may say the same prayer to her when you visit her as you lay your hands to her - just as Jesus has commanded - believe in Jesus' power, ayaw kaulaw bisan muingon ang uban tao - "crazy" man ni sya uy! its OK to be with God :)"

thanks kuya ARIEL PANTILLO for this beautiful prayer.. luv yah kuya...

This picture was taken last October 2009 at Davao International Airport. I took this shot while we were saying goodbye to mama and papa before their trip. Such an unforgettable day. Truly a captured moment. A picture worth treasuring.
