December 17, 2008 - UP Lantern Parade

Walking from UP Oblation to Palma Hall is one of my favorite soul searching moment. I enjoy seeing the greens at UP. I find space whenever the cold air touches my skin. Whew! Deep sigh.

This is the first time that I witness the annual Lantern Parade. Good thing I had my phone so I took some photos. Please visit http://www.friendster.com/photos/4808413/1/576370981 for the photos. When I am uploading the photos I felt that I have to make it a medium of the things that i want to let go including the people that annoys me.

Anyway I had fun because i was able to buy Bibingka! Next year I will be using a digital camera capturing this event.

Kerygma Conference 2008 - Powerful Healing Prayer!

This is a prayer taken from the materials of the Kerygma Conference 2008. A powerful healing prayer that touched my heart. Friends and colleagues grab this prayer and with faith lift up to God all your diseases. The Bible says in Luke 11:24 " Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you will have received it, and it will be yours."

Healing Prayer

Heavenly Father, I thank you for loving me. I thank You for sending Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ to the world to save and set me free. I trust in Your power and grace that sustain and restore me.

Loving Father, touch me now with Your healing hands, for I believe that Your will for me to be well in mind, body, soul and spirit. Cove me with the most precious blood of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. Cast anything that should not be in me. Root our any unhealthy and abnormal cells. Open any blocked arteries or veins and rebuild and replenish any damaged areas. Remove all inflammation and cleanse any infection by the power of Jesus' precious blood. Let the fire of your healing love pass through my entire body to heal and make new any diseased areas so that my body will function the way You created it to function.

Touch also my mind and my emotion, even the deepest recesses of my heart. Saturate my entire being with Your presence, love, joy and peace and draw me ever closer to You every moment of my life.

And Father, fill me with Your Holy Spirit and empower me to do Your works so that my life will bring glory and honor to Your holy name.

I ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen

November 2, 2008 - Bonding Moments ( Food Trip -- Wow busog)

I thank God for a very wonderful, blessings filled, joyfull weekends.

I feel so blessed because for the last few weeks I got the opportunity to spend my
quality time with my friends, office mates, family and church mates. This is one of the
best gift that I ever received. Most expensive that any amount of money cant buy.


October 25 - 26, 2008 - College Best Friends and kids

My best friends Annie and Joyce finally visited the house together with their kids Aia and Niki. We had a quality time with the kids, playing, dancing, singing, story-telling and a lot more. Annie cooked her Chicken special menu and Joyce cooked her special Pancit.

It is so nice to have this kind of event once in a while. To get away with pressures of work and be with kids is like being a kid for some time. Never mind about the problems of life but instead act like a kid and being with kids is really a funny experience.

Seeing these kids playing, running and making "kulet" can really make your world rumble. Imagine Niki, Aia and Raven play at the same time. Whew! Plus as the oldies like us join them in playing.


October 31, 2008 - MTC Family Halloween / Birthday Party ( Ms.E and Rose )

This is a two in one celebration, halloween party and birthday celebration of yours truly and Ms E ( D' Tanders )

A mini party held at Ms. E's house with matching custome party. Thanks to Doc Oda for joining me to go around Glorietta and Greenbelt and were able to find a nice "horror mask" for us.

We had a long table filled with palatable and yummy delicacies. No one can forget the amazing and good tasting "Paella" courtesy of Ms. E's Mom. We also had "Hinilabos na Hipon and Pork Barbeque as our main menu. For our dessert we have chocolate fundue especially made by the singing doctor, Doc Oda, plus the Leche plan and cake made by Ms. E's daugther.

It was fun filled day! Bonding with officemates, singing out masterpieces, eating together, cracking jokes plus the few bottles.

November 1, 2008 - Day with Mama and Papa

All Saint's Day!

As a tradition, the family meet at the cemetery to spend the day with Mama and Papa. It was a bonding moment with my siblings, nieces and nephews. We gather around the tomb of my parents. Light a candle, offer a prayer and flowers.

We eat lunch together I requested my Ate to cook my old time favorite Chosuey while Kuya prepared his own specialty Pork BBQ. Wow busog! Merienda time we had Maja Blanca cooked by one of my Ate while I ordered Pizza. At home we had a good time, telling stories, giving updates and cracking jokes.

Opps I almost forgot!

November 2, 2008 - Kfam Lunch at Pizza Hut

After attending the Feast worshiping and serving God through prayers. The Kfam brothers and sisters gather around and enjoyed the Pizza galore sponsored by Bro Louis who is fresh from Guam. After that we had a habitual fellowship over a coffee at Megamall.


I am so thankful that for the last few weeks I had great time with family and friends. This is one of the best gift that I ever had for my 30th birthday.

Food eaten together with your love ones taste better!

Sana maulit ito malimit.

To God i bring back all the honor and thanksgiving.

October 23, 2008 - Me and my Birthday Cake

Me ---- celebrating my 30th birthday!

Tatlong dekada na po ng buhay na punong puno ng saya, luha, takot, tuwa, kapayapaan at pag-ibig!

Thank you Lord for 30 years of good health, strong faith, wisdom, and unconditional love. A true love that comes from YOU alone. Thank you Lord Jesus that inspite all the hardships and trials I am still here standing in front YOU, loving you with all my heart, giving to you my life and my soul. You are my God. I love you Lord.

Thank you Lord for my parents! You know how I am longing for their hugs and kisses but you never fail to let me feel their presence in through people, my friends, siblings, officemates and most of all my boyfriend. These people Lord never fail to remind me that I am strong, I am loved and I am important. Thank you Lord for them.

Thank you Lord for all the blessings! You are my provider! I have enough supply and I know blessings are on their way. I know Lord the long awaiting gift from you will come soon very very soon. With my joyful heart I am excited to unwrapped that gift Lord!

My Birthday Cake ---- surprised from LOVE! ( kakakilig daw ba?)

This birthday cake was a surprise present from my bf almost 4000+++ miles away from here. He celebrated my birthday with friends as if he is here celebrating it with me. It so nice to feel that he is showing his thoughtfulness, his care, his sweetness and his love.

Love, I am really touch with your gesture. I told you I will post it in my blogs. As of this time I am not so sure if I can post your picture. You know I am a secretive person when it comes to my love life. My only prayer to God is to bless us both with all of our desires. Let us keep on praying for that Love, God is good. He will give us only the best.

My boyfriend ---- the chef of my heart for almost 8 months and counting!

He told me one week ago that he plans to celebrate my birthday after his work. He told me that he will ask his baker to prepare a cake for me or maybe he will prepare it himself. As of this time that I am writing this blog I haven't asked him who did the cake. It is the thought that counts. I can't imagine him celebrating my day knowing that he is so so far away from me. Thanks to the technology!

I even got mad when he is not yet online on our usual talk time early in the morning of Thursday! He said sorry for being late because he spent a time with his friends.

Finally, I decide to put his picture here. I am hoping walang manunukso lalo na sa office special mention si Archie at Sir Ryan, mga alaskador yan eh! Picture lang nya muna, other details to be revealed gradually as I am unwrapping the gift!

Last few words.... I am happy now!

This weekend my college friends Annie and Joyce will be sleeping over at my house with their lovely and cutie cute daugther Aia and Niki. Annie will cook her Special Chicken Menu daw... hehehe goodluck. I don't know with Joyce kung ano naman ang drama nya. Lily my twin sister will join us also because we will be watching some wedding CD's. I am excited for this event.

Month end, we will have a gathering also at Ms. E's house to celebrate din our birthdays. Ms E's birthday is October 27 tama ba? Most likely Archie will prepare my request, salsa and nachos.

November 1, this is my day with my siblings! We will spend the day together as we visit Mama and Papa. Most likely kainan ulit ito. I requested for Chopsuey courtesy of Ate Mary Rose kasi wala namang ibang magluluto kundi sya.

Teka yung last few words ko naging paragraph na...

Thank you! Thank you Lord!

October 20, 2008 - I miss my Mama and Papa

Three days before my birthday I should be happy but I am not. I miss my parents so much. I want to see my Papa and Mama in my dreams. I want to hug them tight. I want to be embraced by my Mama and I want my Papa to touch my forehead. How? Only in my dreams... only in my dreams...

I thought crying days are over but this very minute I do not know why i suddenly missed my parents. Oh my God.. am I in emo mode? Why? What triggered? I don't know.

Deep deep sigh! Roselyn get up.... brace yourself... cheer up... Smile! your parents are happy wherever they are. They are embracing you and comforting your heart. Your Mama is hugging you tight, she is putting her warm hand on your forehead as she massages your aching head. Your Papa is holding your hand and tickling your feet. They are embracing you Bunso! Don't cry....

Dont cry! Magagalit si Mama baka sumakit ulo mo. Did you take your medicines na, papaluin ka ni Papa. Keep calm Bunso.Mahal na mahal ka ni Papa at Mama

October 16, 2008 - Complicated Migraine - The first attack... and the LAST!

October 14, 2008

Typical day of work. Usual day than ever nothing special except that the next day is a pay day. I woke up right in time had a good breakfast with longanisa and rice. Packed some food for lunch. At 10 am I felt hungry I prepared oatmeal with milk and chocolate powder. Yummy yummy this is my favorite merienda especially when I am at the office where the temperature is so cold. I had my early lunch because I will attend the mass at Goodwill Building almost 50 steps away from our office. The weather is cool not so hot and not raining. Its definitely a very wonderful day until my head aches so badly. After my mass, I asked Kuya Archie to buy me Ponstan 250 because I can no longer bear my headache. I took one capsule of 250mg with the assumption that it will fade. Worst it does not it came to the point that I almost vomit. I am irritated for almost two hours, terrible headache, spasm, nausea and vomiting. Imagine all those feelings in one at a certain time. Whew!

I called my sister and tell her that I am having my migraine and asked her to go to my house because I will go home in few minutes. I decided to go home to take a rest. My MTC Family let Kuya Archie bring me home. Thank God because if not I dont know where I am right now. On our way home, I cant explain how I feel. I am floating, my head is like a balloon that is about to blow, my stomach is like a trumbling box with unexplained objects inside going at all directions, my mind is nothing. I cant say a word. I threw up on the car, again thank God someone from the office gave me a piece of plastic. After I threw up I am chilling, I remember Kuya Archie told me "Mam padala ka na kaya sa ospital". What I did I dialed the number of my brother I told him that we are on our way to the hospital and meet us there. Di ko rin alam kung saang hospital basta ang unang pumasok sa isip ko sa Quirino Hospital dahil yun ang alam kong pinakamalapit na madaling puntahan ng Kuya ko if he is coming from E. Rodriguez Ave. I almost faint when we are on our way. Sabi ni Kuya Archie he is asking how I am pero di na ko nagsasalita.

I know we reached the hospital but my brother is not yet there I told Kuya Archie, let us wait for my Kuya. I was rushed inside the Emergency Room and was given Plendil Flush ( ewan ko tama ba spelling). Still I am throwing up and the feeling is the same. My sister came, she is asking what happen to me. I dont know if I am responding to her questions. After several minutes that nothing happens to me at ER they decided to transfer me to St. Victoria Hospital in Marikina. My sister is holding on my body while I am on the cab. She said to the cab driver " Manong emergency mo na".

At St. Victoria the worst ever feeling that I had in my 30 years, the headache became worst, my left arm is numb, I am throwing up with nothing, then I cant remember the answers to the questions that the doctor is asking.

The doctor asked me if i had allergic reaction to medicine I said YES. He asked what medicine, I know it by heart because everytime I had encounter with a doctor I am religiously telling them that I had allergies on Ibuprofen, Advil, Alaxan and sometimes Paracetamol. Sa mind ko alam ko yun but I cant understand bakit di ko talaga maalala nung time na tinatanong ako ng doctor. Sabi ko pa pwede ba magsabi ka ng mga gamot sa sakit ng ulo. When the doctor mentioned Ibuprofen thats the time I said thats it. Then my sister asked me what did I eat prior to the attack, grrrrrrr weird di ko masabi ang oatmeal. Sabi ko pa daw kay Ate, "yung niluluto na pagkain, yung pagkain na niluluto" as in paulit ulit daw. Nag woworry na daw ang ate at kuya ko bakit sablay mga statements ko eh. Then another thing I told my brother to inform my boyfriend about my condition, he asked me what will he tell him, I said " LOBE" instead of Love. My gosh..... i am aware of all this. I know the words to say but when I utter the word its different.

I was admitted in the hospital after that incident and was under observation for 24 hours. Midnight I am still in pain, I am crying and chilling because I dont know what to do to ease the pain. My sister told me " wag ka na umiyak bakit ka ba umiiyak andito naman kami" My sister asked the nurse what pain reliever to give me in order to calm down. After I took the medicine I got a good sleep. I woke up its already early morning of October 15.

The neurologist explained to me what is complicated migraine, this is another type of migraine wherein the affected part of the brain is the sensory and the spatial. Try to visit this site so that you will understand more about migraine ------> http://womenshealth.aetna.com/WH/ihtWH/r.W===23/st.48340/t.48425.html.

Lessons learned iwas sa mga msg, chocolates, coffee, stress, sudden change of temperature, puyat at higit sa lahat mag relax. Guilty ako kahit sabihin na relax lang ako pero at the back of my mind ang dami kong worries. Ang dami kong inaalala at ang dami kong grudges sa mga nasa paligid ko. I think its time for me to unload. Prayer ko lang sana tumigil na rin yung mga toxic people na walang magawa sa buhay. Kahit kasi ignore mo sila in some ways affected ka pa rin eh. At some point of their lives marealize naman din sana nila yung value ng privacy at respect sa personal matters ng mga tao.

Ayoko na nga nag uumpisa na naman ang stress sa isip ko. Ayoko na mahal ma-ospital.

Sorry na lang! Bahala na si Batman, Robin, Superman sama na natin si Harry Potter sa birthday ko.

Happy birthday to me na lang!

Thank you pa rin kay Lord for His miracles.

October 2, 2008 - Birthday and Christmas Wishlist 2008

Thank God this year I will be celebrating my 30th birthday. Whew.... I can't help it but time is running so so so fast similar to a speedy bullet. Now I am saying goodbye to my 20's and hellow to my 30's.....

Someone has asked me, " What gift do you want to receive on your 30th birthday? ". This is the reason why i am writing this blog, to answer his question and to document my dreams, wishes and visions and to proclaim it with my dearest friends.

I categorized my wishlist into two, the short term and the long term wishes.

The following are my short term wishes, these are some simple things that I want to possess before the end of this year. Some are complicated, some are easy to find and some are just manifestation of being a "lady like" in me.

* A brand new cellphone with remarkable music features.
* A silver ring with cross... ------------>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
* A silver automatic ladies watch. ( this will be my gift to myself)
* A pocket size preferably purple or yellow green colored novena / prayer book.
* A purple colored back pack laptop bag.
* A big purple colored -lavander scented or yellow green colored - lemon scented candle. ( wala lang as i said the lady like in me )
* A box of assorted chocolates ( sana di galing china at contaminated with melamine )

Long term wishes / visions...

Included here were the wishes I have written last March 2007 when I started attending the Kerygma Feast. Highlighted are the ones that have been fulfilled. The honor and praises be to GOD, my only companion.

* I will be totally recovered from my Mama's death meaning I will no longer cry. I will no longer be sad whenever I felt that I miss my Mama. I will remember all her happy days with us. Forget the tragic moments that we experience at VMMC during her last minutes. I will focus on the reality that Mama and Papa are doing well with GOD!

* I will devote enough of my time enhancing my faith in God. I will attend activities that will make me know more about God, about Jesus and about faith.

* I will have my check up within this year. Making sure that I will attend to my health related concerns. I will have my breast cyst checked up and operated when necessary. Attend to relaxing activities such as swimming, nature tripping, jogging and other stuff.

* I will find time wait for the God-given partner. A man who will be at my side whenever I need someone and most likely to be my lifetime partner and the father of my kids. He is a God fearing man, with kindness in his heart, stronger than I am especially in handling problems. ( Some words are omitted for the purpose of privacy. )

* I will have a rewarding career where I will get P __________ of salary per month.

* I will help my brothers and sisters financially.

Additional dreams/ visions written last January 2008

* Become closer to God by religiously devoting my quality time worshiping, praying and serving God through the Church. Attend a yearly retreat and trust God at all times.

* Become a faithful and caring wife to my future husband.

* Become a loving mother of two healthy baby boy and girl.

* Be a blessing to other people by inspiring them of my faith and trust in the Lord.

* Be an entrepreneur. Start my own internet cafe business located in a strategic place with 20 units of computer to begin with.

* Be happy with life by thanking God at all times.

Upon reading my blog about my wishlist please say a short prayer.

" Lord God, I praise and honor your name. I love you so much Lord and I am surrendering all my life to you. Watch over my Birthday and Christmas wish list may all this happen according to your plans in my life. Bless me Lord and all the people who will be reading my blog.

Thank you Lord for the 30 long years! Please give my hugs and kisses to my Mama and Papa. I am sure if they are here with me they will be busy thinking of what food to prepare for my birthday. In your holy name Jesus I pray"

October 1, 2008 - My dream is Real

In picture: Me, Toe and Menchie

What a coincidence!!!!

Month of August when I was invited to attend a wedding of my good friend Menchie at San Agustin Church. She was a good friend, an HR officer at MTC Academy who became my very first friend at MTC. She is petite girl with a sweet smile, as HR officer she always perform her duties as perfectly as possible. One of her beauty regiment is to stay at the sink before starting her work and scrub her face with cotton with soap. ( I am disclosing this one Mench... i love you!!!)

At that time of her wedding I am feeling anti-social. I oftenly go out for socialization. I had a office home- home office habit for several weeks and I think it lasted for a month. To make the story short I did not attend to her wedding. I know that she hated me for that. I sent my wedding gift via courier but she did not say a single word.

For sometime I am texting her with forwarded messages but still I did not get any response. Last week I dreamed of her, I saw her wearing a floral preggy look dress. She is seating somewhere and I am looking at her from a far. Her face and body is the same it is just that her tummy is bigger than the usual tummy that she used to have. In my dream we never got a chance to talk. I am just looking at her I can even remember the color and the design of the maternity dress that she is wearing. The morning after that day I texted her, I said that I dreamed of her being pregnant. I got a response. She said and I quote her " Ms. Rose I am two months pregnant with our honeymoon baby. Ninang ka ha. Kahit wag ka na pumunta sa binyag." I know there is tone sarcastic in her words but I know this girl she is a very sweet and loving person. I was amazed this is the first time that I had a clear vision of my dream and it happened.

Since then on I am trying to remember all my dreams, I remember Toe ( also one of my friend at MTC ) saying " Sana ako rin mapanaginipan mo na pregnant." I just laugh! I wish I can do that and I wish all of my beautiful dreams come true.

September 27, 2008: Me -- being a Friend and a Wedding Coordinator

The last wedding I organized was 2006 its my Best Friend's Wedding Annie... now by this time its my Twin sister's wedding. Twin sister is our words of endearment because we have a lot of things in common and also we have a lot of differences too.

The funny side of organizing friends' wedding is not really the pressure and the stress of making the event perfect but the importance of being with your friend as she goes along with all these mess. Funny that i am calling all these things as mess because the other side of me is saying why don't you put pressure on your self organizing a wedding that i not yours. On the other side, practice makes perfect so meaning if the time comes that i will be organizing my wedding it will become as perfect as i would like it to be.

Being a friend and at the same time a wedding coordinator is not an easy job. Sometimes you cannot detach yourself to being a friend and being bias in favor of your friend. On the business side you are becoming too strict to deliverable and commitments sometimes neglecting the fact that all of the client is still a friend and needs special care. Although all the same because a client also requires the best care because were doing business here.

Expectations play a big role in being a friend and coordinator at the same time. The pressure is sometimes even higher as compared if the client is real client because you have to detach yourself from the biases. On the other hand , what nice in organizing a friends wedding is you share yourself to them as they going to marriage life. Wedding is one of the most exciting part of life, most memorable I should say. Imagine collating all your relatives, friends and love ones in one event.

If one will ask me what I would prefer organize a friend's wedding or a client? I should say BOTH. Friend's wedding because friends are treasure at all times specially to those closest to your heart. Friends whom you know that will never ever leave you at times of despair. Client also because its involves monetary return for all the efforts and pressure. Nowadays, wedding planners rate ranges from P10 k to 35k for the full coordination but for friends sometimes all are free of charge and labor of love. but you cannot pay the joy and the appreciation that you will receive knowing that you have contributed your talents to persons whom you love.

Whatever it may be, I still want to be a Wedding Planner.. and I will pursue to that dream of having my own Events Management Company soon.

September 7, 2008 - My Business Sense

Being an employee for the rest of my life is not my dream. One day I will become an entrepreneur. Managing my own business, leading my own staff and growing my own dream business.

Way back four years ago I started a Wedding Planner Business with two of my friends. We organized almost five wedding in span of one year. Its very fulfilling for me to organize a wedding. Over seeing the entire event from preparation to big day itself. Some say that being a wedding planner is a tough job, YES it is but there is satisfaction and fulfillment being a wedding planner. The fulfillment makes me feel proud of what i have done and the satisfaction that people appreciates me for my contribution on this very special day of their lives.

Soon I will be sharing some stuff about being a wedding planner and the wedding preparation in general. TO FUTURE BRIDES AND GROOMS HOPE MY INSIGHTS CAN HELP YOU.


One of my dream business aside from being a wedding planner is to start an INTERNET CAFE BUSINESS. Ideal business near a school or in a highly commercialized area. Nowadays, internet is a necessity and not most our population do not have the buying power to purchase a personal computer at home and subscribed to internet.

August 21, 2008 Life and Driving

Thanksgiving and praises to Almighty God. The source of strength, the source of blessings and the ultimate source of wisdom.

For the past few days I have been very excited with my driving lessons. I have overcome the fear of driving a vehicle. I have overcome the fear of not learning. Thanks be to God for allowing me to learn.

As I contemplate, our life is like driving. The goal is the destination. The clutch is the time. The break is manifested by the hindrances that you will encounter along your way. The gas is your motivation and the energy that you will exert in order to reach the destination. The steering wheel is the force that will guide you. towards the goal.

The goal is where you look at, not on the rear of the vehicle but on the road towards your direction. Don’t look near look at the farthest as your eyes can see. Chin up and have the confidence that you are seeing everything. Clutch defines whether you will move forward of move backward. It will also determine how fast you will move or how slow you will reach your goal. Break causes you to stop. There maybe hundreds of reasons to trigger the break. It may appear as a hindrance or a block going towards your goal but the break reminds us to STOP and for awhile and REST. The gas is our exerted efforts, our motivation, and our internal desire to reach our goals. Our motivation is very vital because it is the force that will keep us moving and moving despite of every break.

Thank you for reading.
Thank you also to my instructor. I thought on my first hands on driving he will give me orientation as if yun pala I will be really driving the car. My gosh!!!
To my dream red car I am ready.

August 8, 2007 to August 8, 2008 --- Looking Back

What seems to be the significance of 8-08-08? To some they said that this date is a lucky date because of lucky number 8 as simple as it is.For me its a day of looking back one year ago, the feelings, the struggles, the fears but now all of those were gone. Whats left is the FAITH, the FAITH TO GOD that HE IS IN CHARGE.

I usually write my prayers, my emotions and my fears. This day I opened by little black colored notes where i put in writing my feelings one year back.

August 8, 2007

Summary: Thanking God for all the blessings that I received. Pleading HIM to give me a trusting heart. One year back was as I am always saying the most dreaded times of my life. February 2, 2007 when my Mama died. Recovering from a lost parent is not easy for me. I remember almost everyday of tears, every minute of pain, every second of waiting. Waiting for the wound to be healed. Professional aspect was down ,unstable company, key personnels were resigning, friends are moving out - no where to found, arguements with my siblings what else you ask for. Its really the darkest times of my life.

Thank God for giving me the hope. Thank God for giving me comfort. Thank God for the love of life that in my darkest days He never left me. He carried me and never let me go alone.

August 8, 2008

Again my gratitude to my God, a year has passed and still I am standing still. Holding on with my FAITH. God is real God. God is a good GOD. Once my life has been miserable but the promise that there is light at the end of the tunnel is TRUE. Now, inspite of all hardships financially and emotionally with conviction I can say that I can do everything I can conquer anything because I am with my God.

Time passes but the FAITH remains.

The Hidden Meaning of ROSELYN

What Roselyn Means

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

The Journey of My Life

Inspired by the song, The Journey, my life has been a tedious travel. Ups and downs, sunrise and sunset, tears and laugthers they are my companion. Inspite of inconsistencies of life there is only one consistent thing that I am holding on... that is move forward... Forward and Forward.

If I move backward with one step just to take a rest I am intructing myself to move two steps forward and never look back. Smile and go on.

How inspiring life is when you choose to move forward inspite of all the heartaches, the pain and the tears. Its very comforting to know that within ourselves we have the choice to stay on the dark side of life or move forward to light.

There is no assurance of what lies at the end but no matter what I am enjoying my Journey.

Lyrics of the song - The Journey

Half the world is sleepingHalf the worlds awake
Half can hear their hearts beat
Half just hear them breakI am but a travler
Been most everywhere
Ask me what you want to know
Chorus:
What a journey it has been
And the end is not in sight
But the stars are out tonight
And theyre bound to guide my way

When theyre shining on my lifeI can see your better day
I wont let the darkness in
What a journey it has been
I have been to sorrowI have been to bliss
Where Ill be tomorrowI can only guess
Through the darkest desert
Through the deepest snow
Foward, always foward I go(repeat chorus)
Bridge:
Foward, always fowardOnward, always up
Catching every drop of hopeIn my empty cup
(repeat chorus)

What a journey it has been

Dedicated to a dear friend who is still on at the dark side of his life. Afraid to forgive, afraid to take risk and afraid to get hurt and most of all afraid to love.

The Real Parent.. A Testimony of Love and Faith

The Real Parent
I am writing this testimony to share and realize the value of having our biological parents and our Real Parent as well. Hope this will help us all acknowledge the love and care that our parents have given to us since the day we were created. In honor and memory of my parents – the best parents I ever had… Mama and Papa I miss you… and the unconditional love of our real parent… Our Father
I am the youngest in the family of four, I can say that I am pampered by my parents well since I was the “bunso”. My brother next to me was 11 years older than I am. So during my childhood days talagang baby ako ng parents ko especially my Papa. I can still recall lahat ng gusto ko binibigay. I never asked something that I knew they were not capable of giving. Di naman kasi kami rich para humingi ng sobra. I remember “chocolait” yung nasa bottle ha masayang masaya na ko nun. Then my Mama was a good home keeper as in masarap magluto and make it sure that everything is ok. Simple family masaya… I thank the Lord for that.
During my elementary days I remember I had a dream, my parents died. That was my greatest fear during those days. It gets back into my mind especially in the afternoon that I am with my parents watching tv. At that time of course as a kid I prayed to Papa Jesus na wag naman mangyari yun. I am really afraid that time. One day I have the gutts to tell it to my parents about that dream, at first alam ko ayoko sabihin kasi natatakot nga ako. I told my Mama about it she told me that I should not be afraid of that since all of us will die on the right time. She told me just pray and the Lord will take care of us. Since then medyo nawala yung fear ko as a kid.
Days, months and years went on. Highschool days and college days. I know my parents really tried hard to send me to college. I am aware of that. During highschool days the reward I am giving them is being good at school, atleast kasama ako lagi sa top 10 of the class. I know in that way I made them happy. Although strict ang Papa ko, he doesn’t allow me to join swimming and going out with friends kasi magulo daw baka daw maaksidente or anything. Syempre as teeners medyo magtatampo ka pero not an issue naman sa akin yun. Pag di ako pinayagan ok lang I will just stay home, manood ng TV at gumawa ng kung anu ano. That probably the reason why I am a home body person. I am really attached with my family.
Medyo mahaba ito mga friends… hope you will enjoy. Paki kuha lang ng tissue ang mga emotional dyan J just joking.. kasi naiiyak na ko
To continue…
I was in 2nd year when I got sick and requires medication. Alam kong extra gastos yun pero with the help of prayer gumaling naman ako. That was the time I really see my parents exerted much effort to buy me medicines. Ayaw ng Papa ko na makikitang paubos na yung mga gamot ko, same with Mama. I was 4th year in college when Papa got sick, padalas na ng padalas ang hypertension nya, mild strokes and etc. I remember last sem when he was hospitalized medyo serious yun and di na sya pwede mag work. I am afraid at that time na baka mapa stop ako ng studies. Before I entered college I told my parents that I will look for a part time job, service crew or whatever they did not allow me. Sabi ng Papa ko it will be hard on me. Sila daw bahala. At that time I had the desire to help them. Well siguro the best help was I am always praying for my Papa’s good health. I remember everyday after school I visited St. Claire and asking God for my Papa. By then I was afraid of loosing anybody kasi in my childhood I had that fear.
Time went on, graduated at college. Easily find a job with the help of my mentors from PUP, my professors na nag refer dun sa first work ko. Everything flows smoothly naman minor problems lang sa family at sa love life. Then came a point that my Papa got a stroke. We knew that he has minor strokes before but we know for a fact that this one is a serious one. He got paralyzed then gradually he got comatosed for almost a week. At that time I do not know where we got the strength. The doctor told us that we will just wait for the time he will go. I still recall one struggling day at the hospital. Stroke patients normally gets out of their control. Nag struggle sya, he wanted to get up yet his body cannot. he pushes everybody, the doctors, the nurses kami ng mga sisters ko. At that time Mama is at home to rest same with my Kuya. Kami lang 3 ng sisters ko ang nasa hospital. I remember my eldest sister sings “ theres a place for us”, para lang mag stop si Papa ng struggles nya. Then he stopped were crying kasi we need to transfer him to another hospital na mas complete ang facilities. We cannot transfer him unless his BP goes normal. It was really a traumatic experience for me kasi I really hugged my Papa para mag stop yung struggles nya. Then kinakantahan namin sya. ( I cant imagine how so dramatic sa scenario is pero nakakalungkot ) The doctors also told us that operation has a limited possibility of recovery and it entails big amount of money. We have to decide whether go or not. We prayed together my Mama and my brother and sisters, we offered him to God. Masakit kasi kahit naman may mga little disputes with parents iba pa rin yung andyan sila. Then one Thursday afternoon I went home to get some stuff, mga damit ko kasi I decided to stay at the hospital to accompany my Mama taking care of Papa. On my way back to the hospital with all my stuff I got a call from my Tito saying mag ingat ako. From there I know Papa is gone. Accepted na naman namin that sooner or later it will be that way pero masakit. The rest is history.
Recovery from Papa’s death is not easy for us especially for me and Mama. I lived with them together knowing that I am the only single in the family. My brother and sisters have their own families to live on. With this scene I become more closer to my Mama. We go out together quality bonding time ng mother and daughter. Every Sunday is a day for both of us. May mga tampuhan pero nagkakabati din kami agad. Time pass by I woke up one day my Mama was diagnosed of having Cancer worst stage III going to IV. Since the day I learned that I started praying to God.
Maliang doctors,
maliang diagnosis, its not cancer. I intensely pray everyday na wag muna because I don’t know how to live a life without my Mama around. During the time na unti unti ng bumabagsak ang system nya I prayed beside her, touching her tummy while saying a plead to God na mawala ang cancer sa body nya. Para akong bata na nagsusumamo na
sanamaalis ang sugat sa Mama ko. During those times I hide my emotions to my Mama. I don’t like her to see me crying. One time she told me to that when she’s gone I have to live a normal life. She told me to be strong and never give up. My mama taught me how to be strong and how to keep it.
Her stay at the hospital was one of my greatest hopes. Hopes for her to recover to get well . To live and to stay with me for a longer time. Ayoko mawala Mama ko of all people in my life. I can say that I can live and I am living without a special someone but not my Mama. Its painful, its hard it takes a lot of courage.. immeasurable I suppose. Knowing that sooner she will be gone I started reading the Bible. Getting strength and hope from the words of God. There was one time that I am telling my Mama, God is the great healer and He will heal her. I can’t help not to cry dahil I am not losing hope. I know my Mama is not commenting on my gestures dahil sinasabi ko sa kanya na she will stay with us and I do not know how to leave without her. I know she just want to comfort us in a way pero deep in her heart she’s getting tired and weak.
It was a Friday midnight, feast of candelaria when Mama met our Creator. I remember a day before that I stayed with her at the hospital. She told me pa na I should have atleast an hour sleep bago ko pumasok sa office kasi the night before was magulo dahil every hour the doctors, the nurses are monitoring her urine for output. There I saw how strong my Mama is, she get up that Friday morning punta daw sya ng CR kasi sa CR daw she can urinate inspite that she has catheter already. I felt sad pero I have to be strong. Before I left the hospital I hugged her and say that I love her so much. Deep in my heart I whispered na
sanaintayin nya ko pag uwi ko.
Opppssss pause muna naiiyak na ko… J
That Friday afternoon was the most painful day of my life I should say the start of my journey. I got a message from my sister that she was at the ICU. I don’t want to tell the details it will really break my heart. When the doctors told us that she was gone, I and my siblings approached her I told her that she can go and I can take care of myself. I don’t want to say those words pero I have to say it. Assuring her that I will be ok after all these things.
The rest was the most rocky road that I ever traveled. Living physically alone was really aaahh the most painful part. Almost every moment of the day andun sya sa puso mo, andun sa sya tears mo, it even came to the point of me getting tired of crying and I really want to get out of all these things. I am hoping that all was a bad dream and one day I will wake seeing smiles in my face and light in my path.
I search companion, a real companion who will never leave me, who will stay with me 27/7. One who will comfort me and assuring me that I will be ok. Thank God, He is here, He is my companion, He is my real parent, our real parent who never leaves us. I can still remember in one of my intimate prayer I questioned God why He almost got everything, my Papa ( 5 years ago ) , my Mama, some good friends at my work who resigned right in time that I am down, my best friend whom I was not able to talk for so long because of her pregnancy ( she wasn’t able to get to visit her Ninang ( my Mama ) on her wake ), my siblings whom I felt doesn’t even care if I was still alive or if I am still ok.. almost everything. Nothing left..… I left nothing but me and my broken heart… its really painful… its difficult.. The Lord clearly told me in my mind and in my heart,, I got nothing YES that’s real but those are temporal.. HE told me, I got HIM. HE will never leave me at any moment. I got the assurance that HIS love is incomparable. I saw myself crying, crying and crying.. only two phrases came out my mouth “ Lord I Love” and “Lord Thank you”
Until these day that I am writing this testimony I am still on the phase of healing my heart for a loss of a parent, my earthly parent but I believe my real parent is up there just looking and smiling at me… J I am not losing hope… I believe one day real happiness will come my way and it is starting now… I got new good friends in this forum.. and I believe God is sending me people to hug me and tap my shoulder saying to me “ Roselyn, the Lord loves you very much… physically your alone but in spirit your real parent is alive and loving you…”
Sorry if I made you cry ha… lessons learned … Let us all love our parents… They are treasures… Sometimes I envy people who still have both their parents with them. You are blessed… so do I J
Thank you for reading…
God bless us all…
To God I bring back the honor and glory…
To my Papa and Mama … I love you so much… and I miss you.. See you soon…

Dreams are becoming reality

All of us are dreaming of something. It may be material possession, ideal relationship or consistent faith. The question is how to get that dream. Most of the self help books are saying that if you have dreams work hard for it. Yes it seems right but working is not enough I believe on what the book "The Secret" revealed that its the power of the mind that will help us achieve our dreams. As based on personal experience, I started it with simple things like having an item that I am dreaming to have. Focusing on that dream will help a lot. If your mind is concentrating on the vision that you have it in your possession you will definitely attract it.

Think positive.

Focus on your vision.

Pray for your mission :)

Happy Good Morning
