WELCOME 2010

YEAR 2010

I welcome 2010 with a positive note
Believing every goal and dream may be achieved
Thinking every plan and proposition may be executed
With purpose, and determination, they may be met.

Growing older each year is a fact
Knowing every part of me is slowing down
Every little pain starts to show and flow
Feeling hurt,discomforts run up the scale.

It's a scary thought, that's the truth
Endless fears in mind and heart
Overcoming difficulties is a must
Discover ways and beat the odds.

Facing reality a must for me
Knowing everyday a challenge to see
My faith in GOD the best ever I have
Keeping track, moving forward, being ME
The best I can be.

So, I welcome 2010 with delight
The joy and pride within let go
The hope and love may always shine
To my loved ones whom I truly care.

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2009

TO MY FAMILY & FRIENDS:

MERRY CHRISTMAS & a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The year 2009 slipped away very fast. This had been a great year for me especially this was the year I purchased my new home.YEAH! HALLELUJAH!! I never thought and planned on buying a house in the US!! Why I did it anyways?? It was all about opportunity in Vegas!! As you all know, I teach here and had been paying a sizable amount of money for a two-bedroom apartment close to the school where I had been teaching since 2006. This house which I purchased is at least 2 1/2 miles away. Quite close, huh!! This house is in a gated community, which I felt was a good feature, believing I would be safer, huh! The pictures of this house is somewhere in this blog, so if you want to see it, just go backwards!!

Roger and I are still together, thank God!! I thought he won't be with me this season, since I had been really shooing him away because of alcoholism!! I made up my mind several months ago to break up with him, but after some time talking with him seriously, he considered my long time advice to quit!! QUIT, or lose me!! That was the deal! HE QUIT! He confessed he cannot afford to lose me!!Now, it has been 2 months! He had been sober and had been attending an AA meeting, too!! THANK GOD!!

Yes, dear friends and family!! This is what I have been telling my family, friends, and people I encounter in my life. PRAY AND GOD ANSWERS!! PRAYER IS THE BEST WEAPON IN LIFE! "ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE".

This season is not an exception. Let us continuously ask for God's intervention. Each one needs guidance from our Heavenly Father! Through HIS love and blessings, we can be definite that whatever we ask for and work for would be met. "God helps those who help themselves!!"

Let there be peace and love amongst all of us! May nations come together as one to achieve all people's dreams and ambitions!! MAY GOD BE IN EVERYONE'S HEARTS AS THE REDEEMER OF THE WORLD COME ALIVE THIS CHRISTMAS DAY!!

Four High School Friends Met after 46 Years .....

Four high school friends met after 46 years in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. It was a swell moment for the four ladies and their respective partners. Mila Cleofe (Rudy Robleza), Bernadette Elbo (Bojie Gozon), Adelina Lopez (Tony Lopez) and Minerva Mendez (Roger Douglas) had so much fun reminiscing almost everything that had transpired during their high school years. The reunion was all about fun, laughter, living life, and growing old.

FAST AS THE WIND

FAST AS THE WIND

The days and the winds
Fast,slow,come and go
Life's meaning like bubbles
Down the cliff go-a- gliding
Sprouts out and then up.

Temperament and trait,
Women and weather
As they're compared
They come together
Competing at each other.

Fast as the wind people move
They may lag,as they thrive
Inspiration must be drawn
Production, as fast as the wind.

WE ARE HAPPY

WE ARE HAPPY FOR THE BLESSINGS
FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE
WE ARE HAPPY FOR ALL OUR HEALTH
FOR OUR JOBS AND FOR OUR LIVES

WE APPRECIATE EVERY LITTLE THING
EVERY BIG THING THAT COMES OUR WAY
WE RECOGNIZE GOD'S LOVING ARMS
THAT KEEP US WARM AND SO MUCH LOVED

WE ARE THANKFUL FOR THIS LIFE
HE GUIDES US THROUGH IN EVERY WAY
HE KEEPS US SAFE AND IN LOVING TOUCH
TO EVERYONE WHO NEEDS OUR LOVE.

Memorial Day Weekend 2009

Weekend Recess

Roger and I resting at the sideyard
Swinging and listening to CD music
Our favorite country music singers
Ronnie and Georges' lovely tunes
Taking us to slumber while breeze blowing
Ecstatic sound of the cherub's fountain
Adding music to the ground
Heavenly voices expressing serenity
What a wonderful feeling it has been!
We are indeed so much blessed!
God's powers on our shoulders rest
We thank God for all of these
Thank God for all the rest!

CHANGES

JANUARY 24, 2009

THE DAY I MOVED TO MY NEW HOUSE
THE DAY I ONCE AGAIN REALIZED
A DREAM WOULD REALLY COME TRUE

I HAD TONS OF DREAMS IN THE PAST
DREAMS THAT HAD ALWAYS BEEN REACHED
DREAMS ARE REALITIES SO TRUE.

I KEEP DREAMING EVERYDAY
I KEEP SEARCHING FOR BEST
LIFE'S CHANGES ARE CONSTANT
PERFECT PARTNER FOR SUCCESS.

CHANGES ARE LOVING PROCESSES
CHANGES ARE BUT CHALLENGES
CHANGES MAKE ME HEALTHY
MAKE ME WISE AND PRETTY.

THE LOVING LORD HAS BEEN MY PARTNER
IN CHANGES THAT I MAKE
THE LOVING LORD IS SO AWESOME
I LOVE HIM DEEP IN MY HEART.
