that day
There was this one particular day that I remember. It was just like any other day. It was particularly a sunday. I woke up pretty early to go to haverford and prepare for that day’s morning worship. I was looking forward to an event later in the day. That afternoon, I accepted an invitation to visit another church and attend some sort of a praise and worship event. That’s when I met her. She wore jeans and a white blouse. She came over and introduced herself and left right away because she still needs to practice. After the event, everybody went downstairs for some refreshments. I ended up talking to her. It was your regular Hi’s and Hello’s. Out of the blue, I decided to show off and told her, “hey, you wanna listen to my song?” She replied yes and did something that threw me off the wall. She told everybody in that room that I am singing my song and asked everyone if they want to hear it. Great. Just Great. Well, the cat is out of the bag so all I could do is wail and scream like any cat would when surrounded by a pack of […]
mother’s day 2007
i count my year of pregnancy, so this year made it my third mother’s day. i don’t know how my own mom feels during mother’s day, since she’s a veteran to the day, but for my sister and i, it’s a sweet exciting and proud day. standing with the other moms/wives in church when they call you up for recognition is a proud moment for me- one, because i get to stand next to great mothers who have really shown their love and sacrifice through so many years, and two, because i love being a mom to my daughter and a wife to the one i love. i’m up there, happy, because i really love my family. so last week, i approached a table where there were men from our church, talking about cars and heave-ho manly stuff, so they were a little baffled as to why i decided to join their table. i reminded them that the next week would be mother’s day, and so they promised that they would prepare something for that week. little did i know that they went to perze for ideas. knowing my husband, he’d do something- one, simple & two, chaotic. so last […]
1 month shy of 2 years!
i can’t believe it. i really can’t. she understands so much for a 2 year old, or maybe i’m just very inexperienced with toddlerhood as i am with Nasguls. i’m such a proud mother…because i love having her as my daughter. i am sincerely a happy woman…if you can strip my life down, i’m happy because of love- love from my family, love from my husband, and love from my daughter. today, as we were playing on the bed, she stretched out her hands to hold my head so she could kiss my forehead. then she held out her hands again to hold my cheeks so she could kiss my lips. then once more, she held out her hands so she could hug me. man, that warms my heart…she’s so loving. it makes me wonder what, in her tiny cerebral cortex, would want to kiss me, and not just once, but thrice. she’s saying more words now, even two word sentences- or phrases…i can’t wait til she can talk so i can hear her voice more, and we can have conversations about important things like how lint is made, or why her shampoo bottle floats on water. these days, aside […]
a bridesmaid, a groomsman, & a flower girl…
i’m fixing up my marchesa xanga cuz it started looking like cobwebs were forming around the corners. so with my digital walis, i decided to clean up and throw away, rearrange and add new stuff. i like keeping my marchesa site updated once in a while because it’s usually a journal place where i can write more of what i’m thinking rather than what i’m doing. and since very few visit this site, i’m more willing to be honest and pensive about anything and nothing. recently, i’ve been asked by a friend to be a bridesmaid for next year. i was quite a bit surprised because i’m not as close to lei than i am to rog, but i think it’s cuz we hardly had anything to relate with each other, but we’ve been good friends ever since we met because my relationship with perze was intertwined with rog & lei. it’s actually funny because in 2002, rog and i got close cuz we were working with the youth. then that summer, i met perze who ended up bringing his friend lei to BASIC. to make the long story short, after some funny drama, rog ended up courting lei faster […]
