The photo I am sharing is a photo of a lighthouse which is located in the Island of Cabilao, Bohol.  Just a stone throw away from La Estrella Beach Resort (old location).

This lighthouse brings back nice memories of a past love.  The first time i laid foot on this lighthouse was during the last few days of January in 1997.  I will say few days because i cannot remember the exact date anymore but i know it was around that time.  I was  3-4 weeks pregnant with my dd (dear daughter) :D

With me to visit this spot was of course of course my boyfriend (Dimple’s dad.)  I am the type who is very scared of heights so i did not make it up to the top.  I guess i lasted midway and he took a photo of me.  I still have that photo now and it obviously shows that i was not relaxed up there, but i managed to smile.

He and I were there on a very important purpose but after 3 days we both felt  a little disappointed because  our mission on why we were was not happening.  Anyway, we sort of just think that the days we spent there was our advance Valentine’s day celebration as our initial plan was to spend Valentine’s day in Bohol, February 14 of that year.  But due to an emergency situation, so we had an early visit to the resort.  It was my first time. Not his because his mom owns the place. :)

In April 2008, Dimple and I had the chance to visit the resort again and yes, we had the chance to stroll to the lighthouse from the new location of the resort.  Taking that photo, memories came flashing back and i smiled to myself because i saw myself in his place long time ago taking picture of me up there.  Now, look at another photo and tell me who is up there –

A back view of someone with long hair.

Guess who?

That’s my daughter!

Oh my she was so brave to make her way to the top.  She even managed to stay awhile to enjoy the view.  I really envy her that time.  But i was already in a state where i can’t climb up heights anymore. lol!   I have i already increased my size twice from the first time i visited the spot.   So, i just end up her photographer of which i did not mind because i was feeling i was her dad. :)

She looked tensed yet she moved upward more.  She’s standing almost at the spot where i sat one day that end of January 2007 – and she was still 3- 4 weeks old fetus inside.  Now, in this photo, that little fetus is standing on the same spot.

How time flies!

Oh memories…you make my heart lighter. :)

Candles and Last Task

I am making a frenzy post because strong winds and some rain are coming this way.  Not the main head of the typhone but it would be strong enough for a stray wind and rain.  I called up home to check if they have candles.  Mom said, the small ones are all used up and they only have one big piece.

In the dorm, I think i still have 2 pcs.  I am positive the light will be off again tonight.  But before that happens i want to check the best fat burners in the market because i want to compare it with the slimming coffee tagged to me by a dealer in Manila. I am asking reviews from friends on what they think of the product.  I am in the quest of losing the excess fats that i have (in words and in actions) lol!

Another thing am worrying now is that my girl is off to the camp and in this weather? Oh God, please keep them safe from the bad weather and from evil thoughts and acts of the devil.

This is an old photo of my kids. I was the one who took this so am not in the picture. This was taken in summer of 2000 and i guess the only photo of the two of them.  Oh there were still so wee in this old photo and me? hmm i guess i was horribly big than i am now.  lol but it’s true!  I was bigger and ugly that time.

These two kids haven’t seen each other again since after that summer. Because of unfortunately events, i deprived myself of living with my son since that year and counting and went home to my daughter. It was not easy for me as a mom but i tried accepting the situation. My daughter though is mum about her feelings although there was a year that she wonders how her brother looks like until we got a photo of him in 2008. They have a few similar features but it was obvious am there mom. :)

In the next photo shows me with each of them them in two separate occasions. I wonder when would be the time the two of them could meet up again.

sept 26

For now i just wonder because I still dunno when.  I am a bit sad for missing the latest Cebu Pacific promo fare of P10.00 then we could have made it to Manila on January next year.

I am just waiting for the promo then for sure these two shall meet.  :)

Hey i have not fogotten it was nostalgia time! Brown out just caught me up last night and the day was long offline, so i just got the time now.

I am not ready with any photo so what i’d like to share this weekend about two men who at one point in my life they have come and have stayed and then just gone.

The first guy is my daughter’s dad.  For several years now we are not communicating and that simply means we are not friends.  When i think of him – my mind then will be full of questions.  So many questions.  But no answers.

The next guy is my son’s dad.  I was married to him but left their home in 2000, leaving my son with him.  Of course i miss my son but the thought of my ex-hub brings stirs the anger  kept in my heart.  I really don’t know why but he is one person that i can’t let my tone go down if he tries to disagree with me.  I bet being the meek and passive wife has already expired so when i was out of his reach, i  was able to regain the confidence lost and decided i won’t let him bully or abuse me because i won’t allow it anymore.

Both men create different reactions in me but somehow one day, we can still say hi as friends.

Nationwide Fasting

On Saturday, September 25, there will be a nationwide fasting for the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Some students were asking what will they fast for? What will they pray for? I told them that we will pray that God will prepare the hearts of those who will be able to receive the message of hope through the literatures that will be distributed on October 2, 2010. One students, can we also fast and pray for personal matters? Of course i do think so. One of the girls last night was sad because her laptop won’t turn on anymore. It went bonkers when she badly needs it for her requirements. She felt so bad to the extent she thiniks it’s karma. She did some bad things so the Lord is asking her to pay back for the bad things she did. I really told her to erase those thoughts of her mind. Instead call her parents to ask if there is a student laptop insurance for her gadget. If so, then she can have it checked and fixed by professionals and charge the fee to the insurance.

I dunno if the laptop is fixed now but i hope she has done her powerpoint last night for her presentation this afternoon.

For a Healthier You

Exercise must be a part of a person’s daily activity.  To couple with that is diet.  We eat three times or more a day so we need to exercise.  To have a stomach cleaning once in awhile is very good so one must check of colon cleanse product that works as there are many cleansing products that are out in the market yet we are not sure which one is really effective for one.

I think cleansing our colon is a must for a healthier you as this procedure promotes a healthier you.

I will drink tea tomorrow because this evening i have eaten a lot of salty food.  One of the girls fried some dried fish. wohhoho

MY FIRST PLANE RIDE!

It was November 2001. The flight was from Bacolod City to Manila. The plane ride was not the original plan. I was traveling to Manila from Cagayan de Oro City via Bacolod City to see a friend. Since i have enough funds for a Manila fare, my friend suggested that instead of getting a boat ticket, I should take the plane! I was excited but thinking of the “first time” the idea brought butterflies to my stomach.

The big day came and it was around mid morning. My friend and her kids sent me off and they did not left until the plane left. Bacolod Airport was not yet that strict that time that my friends can see me at the far side of the Admin building. They even saw me walking towards the plane and the kids shouted my name but i did not hear. My friend said i just walked straight and she can obviously sensed that i was sort of scared.

Really i was scared. And during the take off, I remember i closed my eyes but after a minute or two, i opened my eyes and started to get to the feeling and I was ok. The butterflies in my stomach was gone! I tried looking out of the window and it was a great feeling seeing the clouds so near.

The craft landed safely and I whispered a prayer of thanks to the Lord that the trip was alright and no untoward incidents happened.

I wish i had a photo of that first time!

Happy remembering everyone!

New Office Furniture

I have moved into a new department.  Not really new because i worked in this department after i applied for work in this insitution 4 years ago.  Due to needs of personnel in other departments, i was assigned here effective first Monday of August.  Am barely two weeks in the area and i was already imagining a renovation of the office.  The area is not so big so I am thinking that I wanna have one of those U shaped office desks that are on sale now in the furniture stores. I dunno if my request for renovation will be approved but I will share my idea to my immediate boss.

I also would like to go away with this wall of bookshelf that separate me from the evaluation office so that their would be a wider space, but i dunno if this kind of idea will be acceptable to them.

If then…when would they start working and if they start working now I guess i need a relocation to do my office works. For sure i would be an inconvenience if i stand in the way of the carpenters.
