When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

2011-09-30T02:06:00.000-07:00

When tomorrow starts without me,
and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things,
we didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an Angel came and called my name,
and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready,
in heaven far above,
and that I'd have to leave behind,
all those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from His great golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity,
and all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past,
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day,
there's no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
and share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.

Munting Heredera

2011-05-18T22:15:00.000-07:00

Sabi nga nila, pag may nawawala, ibig sabihin may mas magandang kapalit. :) True enough, after a few exchange of negotiations, I was suppose to host a cooking show on GMA News TV as a replacement of the host who was on maternity leave. After a few talks, hindi na daw matutuloy. :( And so, that's where I put my faith into, maybe something bigger and better is coming my way. And there it was, I was casted as one of the lead roles in the new Drama Telanovela of GMA 7, Munting Heredera. I was overwhelmed during our Story Conference. I didn't realize how big the role I was going to play. Hayayay, nilamig yung kamay ko. :) hehehe. Thank you big bosses for this opportunity. I will really give it all I can. :)

Complexities of it all

RT @KateRaymundo @CamillePrats @kisses4ginger

There is always a possibility that a person can get attracted to another.

It’s human nature. It’s not wrong.

But that’s why you’re in a commitment, you DISCIPLINE yourself.

One may get attracted to numerous prospects and its okay. As long as you don’t nurse the feeling and wont do something about it. Border line between cheating and faithfulness.

Recognize the reality that you already have the person who can give you MORE than what u you get from the CHEAP thrills of attraction.

Baker King

2011-02-26T08:58:00.001-08:00

Im warning you. This entry is about how crazy i am about baker king. I never thought i would ever be a fan of a koreanovela!!! I thought it was weird that some of my friends are enjoying koreanovelas when they actually have to finish the whole series reading subtitles. Labo. But then, Ate Gelli told me how nice the story really is so i gave it a try.

True enough, i was hooked!! The cast was awesome, the villains get evil-er and evil-er as the episodes pass, the "bidas" and their families, as an audience, i felt their warmth, sincerity and love for each other. They made me cry buckets of tears!
The plot was the typical good vs. Bad and how the good always wins but then they made the story really interesting and inspiring. I love how Kim Tak Gu never gives up on anything. Even if he is faced with so much trouble he never fails to see the positive side of the evil things being plotted against him. And his love and never ending search for his mother. Grabe lang how much he loves his mom. Really hit me in the right spot being a mother myself. Truly inspiring.:)

Sana lahat ng lalaki kagaya ni Kim Tak Gu. Ang saya siguro ng lahat nang babae sa mundo.:)

Got this from bessie Kate. :)

Interesting.:)

Love never dies a natural death.

It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source.

It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals.

It dies of illness and wounds;

it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.

This was the day we became one in the eyes of God. :)

It was indeed the most memorable day of our lives and, if I may say, the best one. :)

God has blessed me with a wonderful husband, a beautiful little boy and a simple but truly happy life.

There is really nothing more I could ever ask for. :)

I would like to thank all those people who came to this momentous event of ours. :)

To both our families for their never-ending love and support.

Anthony and I are extremely lucky for having families and parents who do not treat each other as in-laws, but truly as a one big happy family. :)

Thank you Dear God for a truly blessed life.

I couldn't ask for more. :)

New York!!

2009-11-05T12:53:00.000-08:00

Been staying here for more than 2 weeks now and I miss everyone back home. :(
It's my first time to see New York and it has always been my dream to come here. :) We've been to the city a couple of times and still can't have enough of it. We leave at 10 in the morning, go to the city through subway and go home really late at night. Not even once did we go home empty handed. darn it! but... who doesn't love shopping in new york? come on!! you must be crazy not to.

Nonstop walking every time!!! during the first day, my feet gave up on me. And I seriously thought of not going to the city again.. but after a few times of doing long walks i think my feet kind of adjusted to that. ;)

We've been to the Statue of Liberty, Atlantic City, Washington DC and Niagara falls this weekend.

Saw Phantom of the Opera and Wicked. yey!! :)

Oooh i love this trip!! its just that i miss family and friends back home.
Will be home soon. I shall enjoy the city for now. :)

What Ondoy did to us

2009-09-30T01:16:00.000-07:00

It was exactly 90 days before christmas when Ondoy hit the Philippines. I woke up at 6:30 am preparing to go to class in Makati when my Mom told me that I won't be able to leave the house because water is fastly rising on our street. I contacted my Husband right away wondering where he might be since he usually comes home in the morning from work. He said he went directly to my Dad's office which is on Imelda Ave. when he saw the water starting to rise in our village. John's taping was cancelled due to the typhoon, so everyone was home except for my husband.

Around 10:00 am, water started to enter our gate to the foyer. Our house was made to be a little elevated than the road since my Dad has been aware of how fast our streets would be flooded whenever a storm would come. I was surprised when I saw the water on the foyer, because that has NEVER happened. I followed my dad who went outside the gate and the water was already up to my knees. The current was very strong. I told my dad not to go anywhere even if I knew he wanted to help other people who might be in need of anything. I knew at that point that we couldn't go anywhere anymore and that we were helpless.

The water in our foyer started to rise and I could see the steps of the stairs to our living room slowly disappearing. One by one. We started moving out furnitures to the 2nd floor and put the heavy ones on top of the tables. By this time my Mom was already freaking out.
After a few minutes. water went inside our house. Which means, water on the main road is about 6 feet high. We all ran to my mom's terrace and saw the gate of the house in front of us slowly emerging into the water. Until the white fence was completely gone. We saw all sorts of thing floating into the water being carried my the current, cabinets, sofa, gasul and 2 cars.

No cellphones. No electricity and very few water.

No electricity for 2 days.Nathan was cranky the first night due to the lack of illumination. The second day he got used to it. We slept with the windows open and wow, I've never slept that good ever. I realized that natural wind is better for our body than using an aircon, all my muscle pains and aching parts of the body were gone and i woke up full of energy. :)

I am deeply saddened with what our fellow filipinos had to go through. Those who are left with nothing. No shelter, food, things and those who have lost their families.

One good thing that happened to us during this time was that our family was closer than ever. My brothers would keep awake at night to make sure that the house is safe from anything. We would take turns in sleeping because at this point, you don't know what can happen next.
We all extended our helping hands with no hesitations. We helped in our own little ways. And I think this is one good thing that Ondoy did to our family. It proved how strong of a family we are and that if we keep on working together we can surpass anything. With God's grace and blessings we will all be ok.

Our country will be ok. And we will all rise from this..

I uber got so excited the minute I found out that a highschool reunion was cooking up!:)
I'm excited to see familiar faces I haven't seen in years. I'm curious if most of us look pretty much the same. I was surprised when i came to the party and saw that everyone are still the same. Except for Tikyo who's got a "buff" body naks!!:) Munchy Paulo is still the same with the tiny squeaky voice i remember.:) Anton, ugh.. i don't even wanna start talking about him. Though don't get me wrong. I love him. Jeng, she talks a little more than she used to back in highschool.:) Bessie Ginger, still the same. prettier than ever.:) Marisse still bubbly!! Tanya still the same rockstar girl!:) and ally without his "bff". lol!
hay... Its like we were all in highschool all over again.:)
I hope there will be more gatherings like this.:)

Nine months

GeoTagged, [N14.60878, W121.08063]

Just wanted to share my most beautiful self. This was me at nine months. It's been a year and a half and honestly I don't quite remember how it felt to be this huge. Imagine carrying this weight around.:) no wonder I would get tired after 10 steps. Ok, that was an exaggeration.:),

But you know what? It's the best thing that could ever happen to a woman. This is the reason why we exist. To experience, nurture and bring out into this world the miracle of life.:)

It's so nice to reminisce. Can't wait till my next one! So looking forward to that.:

Just like what I said, never lose faith. In his time, things will fall into places. Lovely day today. Filled with good news and god's grace.:)
