amazing life











Despite all the problems that have come my way, despite the fact that I am not married and despite that fact that I have no money, still God is with me every step of the way.  Yesterday, I revisit the place where I lived for almost seven (7) years.  Not for personal reason but for the requirements of the new school where Nicole is now enrolled.  And so there I was, at the mall, very near the house where we used to lived (Almar).  It's been more than a year since we moved, the place was as usual busy, there are lots of changes since then.  I remember those times when we frequent this place, at times just wandering looking for nitty gritty things needed in school, paying the bills, (bayad center), buying groceries, and eating at some of the fast food chains ( Jollibee, McDonalds, Chowking, and some food stands selling shawarma, hotdog on stick/bread, fish balls, gulaman and other fruit juices.

But changes were made, there no longer is the store where we bought school supplies, picture frames and Christmas deco.  There stood now the "Save More" its one of subsidiaries of ShoeMart (SM conglomerates) where you can buy anything from dry to wet goodies.  The place is booming what with all the constructions going on and the ever growing business establishments. It brought back a lot of memories, some happy, some sad, but today I was searching myself, if there are remnants of the past.  And there was none, yes there were memories, but right now it somewhat impersonal, as if i am detach, like I am another person and not the one who have experienced the joys and the pains.

Before I do not know of the word "move on", now i know how it feels.  Its braving the future with nothing of the past that used to hold me back.  I have no regrets of how I did things in the past, and I am proud of my future.  Now, you see why I consider myself lucky, because God has given me everything that I wish for and save me from pains.  Of course, I had  my share, but God was there to hold me and protect me.  He fight the fight I no longer can endure, thus, I became triumphant.

My version of pata tim

This is Friday evening, i just came from work, before i went home, i passed by the local store to buy some of the things i need for my planned meals this Saturday.  As i am at work most of the time during the weekdays, it is only on Saturdays and Sundays that i really has the time to cook.  Well, of course i washed, sliced and seasoned the meats and fish(es) i will use for my planned meals.  Breakfast should come easy, scrambled eggs, pancakes with maple syrup and orange juice will be a good starter for a day.  I don't think there is a need to go into the details of preparing scrambled eggs and pancakes so we move for cooking the lunch.  I have started to clean pork and prepare the ingredients.   Here is how to cook pata tim. 1 pork pata (front leg) about 1.5 kilo                Procedure: 8 pcs shitake mushrooms                             ...

after the storm

Rain, rain, go away... here in the Philippines at this time of the year, the rain never stops, storms and typhoons are always nearby... water, water everywhere.  Gloomy days just like my heart, drowning in emptiness but i find hope and inspiration in knowing that there are other people whose problems are enormous but still they are standing and keeping their fingers cross hoping against hope that the next day will be a better one.  I don't enjoy seeing miserable life, its just the thought that our problems are not unconquerable, that every problem has solution, and that everything will fit the picture at the right time. I have been spending time surfing the net looking for recipe and tips on good housekeeping and articles on health.  Oh i'd like to read on and on to have something to blog about.  Hey, i am going to be an expert blogger in no time, watch me.!!!    That is why heavy rains are at times good coz i will have plenty of time reading for my blog...

Spending Sunday Afternoon with Nicole

         Nicole is the daughter of my niece Emyrose who is now in Dubai.  Nicole has been with me since she was seven years old and she is now eleven and is in grade VI.  It's been a month since the school had started and the hustles of first months has taken a tool for both of us.  Buying school things, books,uniforms, shoes, bags and all the writing tools that goes with it.           And so this is the first Sunday that I can spend alone (?) i hope, but luckily, Nicole wanted to come and see the place other than the school door.  Surely, we did had a fun Sunday afternoon, shopping for some new clothes, because she has grown taller.  Ah! how time flies, we saw some tees on sale and shorts too.  But before that I did pay my bills, phone,cable and water.               We were at the Lucky Dragon Mall in Manila. Walking the aisles of the mall and looking for things...
