A Piece of Heaven : Micamics' perspective

We were once Highschool girls who comes to school,goes out for lunch and comes out of class in groups. The basic 'barkada' thing is what I share with these girls who became part of my life during my innocent, geeky days. Geeky, yes! We were friends since 1st yr. Highschool and the established friendship was because we were in the same star section since 1st yr.. four of us were classmates since elementary years! yup.. Since we were 7 yr. old. I once thought that we share with these highschool gals were very childish, naive. After high school graduation, we went to different colleges, started to go out with different sets of friends and seldom see each other. We normally see each other during Christmas season, but its not a yearly ritual. Years passed by and we lived our lives totally in different worlds. We learned to love, to get hurt, to give up and try again, to succeed without the presence of one other.. After 11 years, what we were before and what we are now ain

I came across this realization that money isn't everything I need to have a happy and satisfying life. Indeed, money is one step away from happiness but is also a step away from a gloomy life. You can have everything you wanted if you have the money, but It'll be disappointing to eventually realize that you cant have everything you wanted even though you have lots of money to buy them. (I'm not saying that I have lots of money, coz I only have enough hehe ) but if there is one thing that I CANT LIVE without but I HATE the most, It's MONEY. It is because this thing gives me two extreme feelings: The joy of getting what you want, and the disappointment you'll feel when its gone. :p I'd rather have enough money to sustain my basic needs than to have too much of 'em that is too much to handle and eventually would cause a lot of conflicts. :p

There are a lot of choices in this life that I'd rather not talk about, Dealt with in the past, looked back and regret, and choices that I'm proud of. My life has been surrounded with a lot of wonderful people: My family, friends and the people who have touched my heart both in good and not-so-good ways. I am sometimes in a limbo of my own life that I tend to focus on one part of my being and tend to forget that I, myself is intended to do more and be more. There are a lot of people that I value so much and can bless in so many different ways. Aside from my being a loving mom to my 2-year old baby girl, there are family and friends who deserves more than what I've been giving them. But I've chosen to keep myself focused with how I can improve my family's life with the sacrifice of my own personal,temporary, kid-like happiness. I guess the greatest challenge of being a woman is not how mom's teach their kids or how wives serves their husband's needs. It'

Part of the New Year enigma : Looking forward to better things this new year. We always think of the things we want to do and not to do the next year. Most commonly known as "New year's resolution" For me, moving forward is hard to do most especially if we don't look back on the things done and learned in the past. First, I've learned that the fruits of Patience are overwhelming. I'm the kind of person who works hard to get what I wanted and expects big things in return. I've learned that not everyone will get what they wanted. But everyone will get what they deserve at the right time. Got promoted at long last! two years in the making ... :) (April 2008) Once in your life you'll meet genuine people. They are acquaintances whom you'll never forget. Probably because of their genuine hearts that you discover unintentionally. (Team Alan Anis VBBE&E October 2007 - January 2008) Friends come in different packages. Some friends stay, there are those

All the while I thought, my life had reached its purpose and I was destined to be a loving mom. All these years I have thought of how I would improve my life not only for myself, but also for my family. All the while I am thinking of how I can change my way of living.... But change came into my life, unexpected. My extreme purpose in life did not end as a Mother. My unguarded heart was crashed and built anew last November 16, 2008. I took part at an outreach program for kids of Gawad Kalinga and Buddie-up with a boy named John. Though we had a very limited time together, I felt the joy he had when we are to part ways. I just cant let go of the joy in my heart without the tears in my eyes. So tears just went flowing. Until now, can still remember the face John had at the end of the day. Its was a very simple gift, I myself would not appreciate. I cant stress enough how I felt that day. But I was changed with the way I look at life, the way I appreciate things, the way I Live.

Friends reveal themselves in trial times of our lives. They will shine amidst the darkness of LIES and ANGER. Friends not only share smiles when you're at the camera and take pictures of "many-places" we've been through but TRUE friends can put smile on your face behind the camera, the truth. No other disappointments can make you feel horrible as much as the disappointment you'll have with your friend. When you and your friend have a little misunderstanding, you can calmly say "maayos din yan..." No matter how bad you feel for your friend, you can still say "friend ko yan eh.." The unseen reality of "fictional friends" can only be revealed through time. Unseen circumstances arise and eventually break the bond of your FICTIONAL belief for your friend. The saddest part: One friend realizes the UNSEEN truth behind the valued friendship and the other end up feeling alone, looking for another make-believe friend.

Every morning when the Sun started to shine, There’s my little baby girl waiting for the sunlit-sky When clock strikes 7, as if she already knew. Its time for her to go out and play with something new. Her “coos” and “woos” is like a music in my ear. That’s what I hear O! so loud and clear. You’ll never ignore that sweet-sounding call It’s one way for me to know “Mama Let’s go out and stroll!” From the day I gave life on her, up to this very moment. My love for her keeps stronger and warmer. So here’s a lot of sweet kisses for my baby girl, For the days full of sunshine…. For the days spent with you
