Draw me close once again (A redeeming Sunday to everyone!)

"Draw me close to you, never let me go. I lay it all down again to hear you say that I'm you're friend" Lately I felt that You are too far away from me. I can no longer feel You're wonderful presence. Your hands that pats my back when every thing's not turning out right and with just a snap, everything will feel right even though It isn't yet. I yearn for Your loving presence oh Lord. I need to be drawn close to You. "You are my desire, No one else will do. Nothing else will take your place to feel the warmth of your embrace. Help me find the way, bring me back to you" With You I have found my shelter. You are my shield against emotional endeavours this life has to offer. Neither anyone, nor anything can take Your place. That's why I'm going back to Your loving presence. "You're all I want, You're all I've ever needed. Help me know you are near" Hear my heart out Lord. Hear me cry, my plead. I need Your...

August 23 - Manila Hostage drama (from a Filipina- blogger's own opinion)

Last August 23,2010 marked  the most tragic, disappointing and shameful hostage drama I ever witnessed in my entire life.

It was only then that I realized that the hostage-taker was a previous PNP ( Philippine National Police ) officer, Rolando Mendoza, who was dismissed last year due to a violation and all he really wanted wa...

August 7, 2010 (Saturday) Lesson #1 Each and every patient is unique. They might have the same symptoms, but they have different causes. The doctors should treat each patient differently, ask questions, and listen. In our case, I told this doctor that my daughter has cough for almost a month now and the doctors including my daughter's pedia heard that her lungs are clear whenever they listen through it. It turned out that my daughter had viral fever which was caused by pneumonitis. If only this gay doctor from the ER last saturday LISTENED. He could have admitted us that day and no need to send us away. Lesson #2 Mothers knows best . It is part of our innate instinct to feel that there's something wrong happening to our loved ones. Indeed, gabby just had a plain HIGH FEVER but who are they to tell us not to have our daughters admitted when we felt there's something wrong. When we believe in something, we have to stand up for it and fight. yes, FIGHT. I have to sound...
