6.) Washing my clothes (and ironing them after a day)

7.) Putting on my headset and listen to MP3's and WMA's

8.) Travel for more than 2 hours to visit my brother

9.) Gettting rid of white-heads and black-heads once they appear (Ewwwww!)

Someday

Someday things will be different. It may take long but as what they say patience is a virtue. There is always something good at the end of the line.

Someday a new ray of hope will be seen. The days in darkness will be over and gone.

Someday laughter will be heard everywhere.

Someday love will feel the air.

Someday.....

Tears for the soul

Everybody cries. Right?

There are many reasons why a person shed tears. It's a reminder that we are only humans.

They say men don't cry. It's not true. Men does cry, but in hiding. Women are more open and it's not a big deal for them crying in public.

I know I am emotionally strong but I am not an exemption. I cried when a loved one passed away, I cried when I got terribly sick, I cried when I got into trouble. Those tears were never wasted.

Sometimes during my lonesome, I always try to cry. A good cry is good for the soul. It makes me realize the value of life, the reason why I need to be alive.

It's really satsifying to have a good cry. All the heaviness you feel in your heart suddenly lightens. God is amazing by giving us the ability to cry. Those tears are really good for the soul.

Lucky Me

I can't stop thinking how lucky I am to have the best parents in the world. Yeah, really.

God gave me and my siblings the kind of parent that will support you all the way.

My mother is an epitome of courage and selfless love. She is willing to take our pains, our sufferings, our troubles. She don't want her children to suffer. She's unbelievable. My father is the ideal provider. During his heyday, he will work away from us (as a seaman) for more than a year, then after that, he will rest for about a month or two before packing up his bags to work away from us again. That is why he missed a lot of things while we are growing up.

They both have shortcomings but hey, nobody's perfect. I know that in everything they do for us, they gave their best. I can't say anything bad against them. It's just unfair and inapproriate.

I really can't afford to lose a parent. I know that time will come because that is the reality of life. I have one wish for them that until now I have not yet fulfilled. I want them to go on a vacation outside the Philippines, just the two of them. To relax and feel that after long years of hardwork, they should be enjoying life the way other parents of thier age do. I don't have the resources to fulfill that wish now BUT I will die trying. I will really do.

I can never ever repay all the things that they had done to me. Even if I live my life twice. I disappointed them many, many times. I just hope that before the end comes, I can give them the good life that they now deserve.

I am miles away from them. When the time comes that we will meet again, I hope, I can in any way give them all the good things in life.

Thank you Lord for giving me these two amazing people.

May You continually bless them.
