We watched the N.O.A.H. (No Ordinary Aquatic Habitat) play last Sunday at the Meralco Theater and this is my first time watching a play. Well, it’s not really my first time but the last play I watched was when I was (I think) 7 yrs old, so I can’t really remember anything. I wasn’t expecting to like it since I’m not into musicals, but what made me like it was the humor. Aside from the humor, it also reminded us about our faith to God, I would definitely recommend this show to everyone.

Get a ticket now because the show will be until September 27 only.

My friend shared me this site and I can’t stop browsing it. Here are some pictures that I find so cute and funny.

I’ll be posting some pictures again in the future.

I got the picture from this site and emailed Namco Bandai about it. The reply seems like an auto generated message so I’m not sure it they really read my email. 

We will follow the next day counting and will be having some activities in memory of my beloved mother. Wish that it wouldn’t rain so we won’t have problems going to the cemetery. We’re still not certain as to how many relatives will come over but we already have a list of food to prepare, hopefully everything will be enough for the guests.

Next week will be My Mama’s 40^th day at heaven, hence we are planning to visit the cemetery, attend a mass for her commemoration and a simple dinner with friends and relatives. However we are unsure if it would be on Aug 19 or 20. Some of our relatives say that the counting should start on the day of death, though others say it should be the next day.

If ever someone knows, please post a message. Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much for all the love
that you showed for Mama.
Being surrounded by such love
has more than warmed our hearts.
Although only time
will completely heal our hurt
for our big loss,
we are truly grateful
for the empathy and sympathy
that you have given us.
It has been a comfort
to be with family and friends
in these lonely trying times.
Thank you
for the prayers,
the services,
the mass cards,
the flowers,
the warm messages,
the comforting words,
the love offers
and the sharing
of your precious time
during Mama’s wake and burial.

With the reassuring thought
that Mama is in heaven
loving God
together with all the angels,
I pray that we, too,
whom she has journeyed without,
shall be able to smile
as we think of her
and be at peace
with the happy memories
we have of her.

61 years of borrowed time from God.
Thank you for letting us know
that it was 61 years
of a life well lived and loved.

Again, thank you.
God Bless Us.

Maria Corazon “Cory” Aquino died August 1, 2009 due to complications of her colon cancer. I think her symptoms were almost the same with my Mom, so somehow I understand how the Aquino family feels right now.

It’s really hard to see your loved one in pain, but after doing everything you can, by time you would somehow accept that it would be much better for her to release all the pain and be with God instead.

The whole country mourns for the loss of a great person. She has inspired a lot of Filipinos and made great things, she will forever be remembered.

Mama turned 61 last May with a Granny Chocolate Cake.
It has been…
      6 decades of enjoying life’s abundant blessings;
      5 decades of fulfilling her dreams;
      4 decades of establishing her name in the academe;
      3 decades of nurturing her family;
      2 decades of struggling for the causes of her colleagues;
      1 decade of enjoying her living treasures- her 3 little grandsons;

But for the past year, she had to face the biggest battle of her life.
Through this all, you have been a part in one way or another.
Now Mama is with our Lord God, we thank you for the outpour of support, the love and the prayers that inspired her and gave her strength.

Again thank you.
More blessings to count for all of us in the years to come.

I don’t know what I’m feeling right now, I don’t know what to do, and I feel so helpless. My mama is in a very complicated situation and I hope everything will go smoothly.

I sincerely ask everyone to please pray for her to get better. Thank you very much.

School year is near again and the kids keep on asking when will school start ( maybe they’re afraid that it’s the end of their vacation ). I think we still have 1 month left to prepare the kids to be ready for the next school year. First thing that we need to adjust is their sleeping habits, they usually sleep around 12am and as late as 2am. I know it’s wrong but it’s hard to say no to them and they keep on saying “it’s still vacation , no school tomorrow”.

I have noticed a lot of malls offering back to school sale that I’m sure that will be crowded with parents along with their children. I’m still preparing a list what to buy:

- Pen / pencil
- Pencil case
- Scissors
- Eraser
- Glue
- Crayon
- Bag
- Socks
- Shoes
- Notebooks
- Pad Paper
- Books
- Uniforms

I think the books and the uniforms will be purchased at the school, everything else will be at the mall. Is my list complete or did I miss something?
