Happy Birthday, Ima.


Dear God,

Thanks for giving us a Mom. And much more thanks because you knew precisely the one Ate Ann and I would need!

We pray for her good health; that she gets to have many grandkids; longer afternoon naps; her guava tree to bear more fruits; upgraded cellphone; more friends in facebook; her pet dogs, cats and fish to stay healthy and loving;  a kitchen-showcase; and that she gets to meet and greet Kris Aquino in person.


very Happy 62nd birthday












And most importantly, we pray for her happiness etched to her soul; and to which make my ate and I Your direct channels.

Lots of love,
Norman

When you see me and you burst into tears, please hide your face on my chest beca...

40 DAYS

It will never be the same again. IMAGINE A SUPER STORM’S FRESH VESTIGE-- TORN PARTICLES, SCATTERED DEBRIS AND DIRT, AND A SCENE OF HOPELESSNESS. THAT  WAS  MY HEART  AND  MY  MIND  THE  VERY  MOMENT  OUR  MOTHER  BREATHED HER  LAST. I was bargaining during the days when my mother was in the ICU. I would, without exemptions, trade anything. I dropped other prayers so as to focus on one so significant for the moment. I was praying for my mom to live and to be well again. God heard me. I'm sure He did. There's no way He would have not seen and heard me beg because synchronized with my breathing I bombarded Heaven with that single prayer. I felt He uncaringly dropped my petition. I HOPED He would reconsider. But as days dragged me along, I saw and heard no signs that my prayer was to be granted any sooner or later. Am I to be denied by a God who is said to be omnipotent and loving? Like a child to his father, I a...
