I was browsing newspaper web sites in the phil and saw breaking news: Ernie Baron dies due to heart attack having caused by his Diabetes at the age of 65.

I think one of the high competitive broadcasters in the Phil, I can always remember his segment Knowledge Power and the Weather News. Bits of information and humor as well. Respected in his area of interest. Most people rely on his knowledge especially on Science subject.

Actually, I had weird thought...why so early? coz he's into so many herbal thing and stuffs he uses...

Mentioning of his diabetes... I sort of remembered my mom coz she also is a diabetic herself... so I need not to explain what reaction I just felt hearing the news about Mr. Knowledge Power.

I drop a message to my youngest sister and breaking d news about him. She even got surprised she didnt know about it either...then she mentioned about mom's diagnosis from the doctor... She needs to take up insulin...usual medicines is not enough to get her stabilized but the family doesnt want her to undergo with it, not this early so we opted to take a second option and that we have to wait.

I cant help it, i called my mom over the phone and asking how is she? hows everybody? then she started telling me hows the check up going... then I mentioned about Ernie Baron so she would sense I am worried but not directly informing her,

she replied back "he is still young" (coz my mom is 62y/o)and
"kung time mo na talaga, kukunin ka..."
I replied.."oo nga pero kailangan alagaan pa rin ang sarili at mag iwas sa mga bawal. O sige let me know kung ano magiging result ha."

so I opted that i'll send her stuffs over here which are sugar free and calorie friendly foods and she seemed excited about it. I just admire her for that statement, although I know she is also lonely and is being emotional. I should know...she is my mom, Am I.

She even mentioned my youngest sister is planning to put up business on foods thats where her heart is, actually she already mentioned it to me and I am actually considering it.

Wrapping it all... My emotions is coming to an extent I dont know which of my options I am supposed to do right now. All I know is I trust God, he is good all the time, Nothing is impossible with him.

Being far from home not just with my mom but everybody in the family is really tough, coz our faily deals these situations all together even with close relatives and Church Friends supporting in prayers and encouraging one another...then look at me... on my own making my way dealing with the situations here. Im still thankful that Gods love is infinite that I cannot measure its depth .

Here are My Sisters, My Brother and our Happy Faith! (December '05 Baguio Trip)

YOU ARE THE...

apple of my eye, mango of my pie,

palaman of my tinapay, keso of my monay,

teeth of my suklay, fingers on my kamay,

blood in my atay, bubbles of my laway,

sala of my bahay, seeds of my palay,

clothes in my ukay-ukay, calcium in my kalansay,

calamansi on my siomai, inay of my tatay,

knot on my tie, toyo on my kuchay,

vitamins in my gulay, airplane of my Cathay,

stars of my sky, hammer of my panday,

sand of my Boracay, sultan of my Brunei,

highlands of my Tagaytay, mole on my Ate Guy,

baba of my Ai-Ai, voice of my Inday Garutay,

spinach of my Popeye, sizzle when I fry,

wind when I paypay, tungkod when I'm pilay,

feeling when I'm high,

shoulder when I cry, wings when I fly,

prize when I vie, cure to my "ARAY!",

answer to my "WHY?", foundation of my tulay,

truth behind the lie, the life after I die...

In short, you're the center of my buhay

Weird Habits! come along with me...

Momma ays never ever forgets to TAGay me..kumare kasi...
(honestly..weird daw ako sabi ni panday..pro di ko ma-analyze alin sa aking pagkatao iyon? lam ko naive ako sabi ng kuya ko.

Rules:
Ilista ang 5 Top Weird Habits mo.
Ipasa sa 5 kaibigan (weirdo man o hindi..sana kayanin nyo sumagot)
Iwanan ng comment o tag sa bahay nila para naman malaman nilang TAGay na nila at pagkakataon nyo na po.

This is in no particular order
1.) I like adventurous activities but when im up there in the heights my knees are shaking and my heart palpitates so hard...pero gustong gusto ko pa rin ang mga ginagawa ko..with matching pamumutla pa daw at hilo o minsan halos mag-blow na ko..though i find it fun

2.) I've been watching Pretty Woman by Julia Roberts and My Sassy Girl for like 15 times already and yet still enjoying it...even laughing the same laughter as I first saw it. Maybe thats why its also called favorite?

3.) Lagi ko nakakalimutan ang tagalog ng "kite" at "gizzard" sa biglang tanong... o kaya minsan hindi ko talaga maalala...i dunno whats with the words but sometimes it makes me crazy.

4.)may be this one is something similar with mmy-lei but wheneva I go to places with high grasses I always think some reptiles will crawl or pass by my feet and so i prepare myself to run fast or check where I can climb.

5.) eto sa totoo lang I dunno how to evaluate myself which are my weird habits and which are not...like my kuya said... naive daw ako...some says..radical...some says just being practical...let me know if u observe something alright?

Ultimately... I like simple and flexibility...blending with different calls of situation or maybe uncertainties...dwelling neutral position.

Tita neng, doc kenj, prince of dubai...tag ko po kayo...I have a small network here but hope this will work. Thanks peeps!

(picture above...mom and dad in Disneyland HK...sorry they didnt practice using the cam...but im glad they enjoyed that trip...its our gift to mom and dad! Love yah!miss yah!)

God bless

Too True, Too Often
Too often we don't realizeWhat we have until it is goneToo often we wait too late to say"I'm sorry - I was wrong."

Sometimes it seems we hurt the onesWe hold dearest to our hearts And we allow foolish things To tear our lives apart.

Far too many times we let Unimportant things into our mindsAnd then it's usually too lateTo see what made us blind.

So be sure that you let people know How much they mean to youTake that time to say the wordsBefore your time is through.

Be sure that you appreciate Everything you've gotAnd be thankful for the little thingsin life that mean a lot.

Dedicated to my friends... for those whose been with me for quite some time...u know how I am...

The Future Begins Today

PHILIPPIANS 3:13 NKJ
13 ...one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind
and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,

Today IS the first day of the rest of your life. And it will be
what you and God make it.

Your past does not have to dictate your future. You can begin
again. With God you really can have a fresh start.

God can forgive your past -- and help you to forgive yourself.
But most importantly, God can change you. He can make you into
the kind of person you know you should be.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 NRSV
17 So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation:
everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!

Your life can be different. But don't think it will be
different if you continue to do things exactly the same as you
always have.

For your life to change -- you must MAKE changes.

If you want real change -- God's Word is the key. You must
immerse yourself in the Word. What you feed in determines the
output of your life.

ACTS 20:32 NLT
32 "And now I entrust you to God and the word of his grace--his
message that is able to build you up and give you an
inheritance with all those he has set apart for himself.

God's Word will build you up. Jesus said it would make you free
-- if you continue in it (John 8:31-32).

The Bible is God's answer to man's problems. It gives life and
hope and instruction so we can walk in victory.

Prayer is also vital. Prayer is communication with God. All
relationships require communication to keep from growing cold.

So, actively involve God in your life. Consult with Him on
every decision. God is the best helper you will ever have.

JOHN 14:16 NKJ
16 "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another
Helper, that He may abide with you forever,

The future can be better. The choice is yours. If you invite
and involve God in your future -- it will be bright!

SAY THIS: I invite God into every area of my life and future.

The New Year is Bagong Taon!
