To the best Lola in the world

To the best Lola in the world, happy birthday! I'm happy to have started my life with you and if the Lord permit, to end it with you also.
I know I haven't thanked you enough, you and Papa for everything you've given me ever since I was able to stand up on my own, literally. I might stay home not talking or maybe you're having this impression of me that I'm not listening but I tell you, Ma, I know every little thing about your stories.

Thank you, Ma. Thank you for being there when my world seems like it's falling apart. Thank you for telling me that everything's going to be alright even though, sometimes, we know that it's not going to be at all but yeah, thanks.

Thank you, Ma for making each day wonderful. For making me feel like I'm not alone. For everything you've done. For the unconditional love you and Papa showered me.

No words can express how much I love the both of you. Even my actions aren't enough to elaborate how much I love and care for you. I love how we laugh about everything like they really make sense at all. I love the simple lifestyle we have, the simple lifestyle you've taught me that made me really simple and I therefore think, that's one good thing about myself. I'm proud.

Like a lyric from a song, "you are the one that makes me happy, when everything else turns to gray." Indeed. Thank you for wishing all the best for me and thank you accepting the lovers I had/have - that whoever I'm happy with, you are happy too.

Thank you for singing songs to me when I was a kid, though you know I hated the sad ones because they always make me cry without rational reasons at all - maybe because I pictured myself with those lyrics and never did I want to lose you. Not a single chance.

Thank you for bringing me to thrift shops! I love it! One of my favorite places here on earth.

Thank you for the love and the care that no amount of money can buy. Thank you to both Papa and you.

Happy birthday, Ma. I wish you all the happiness in the world. I love you so dearly.

Montalban Waterpark and Garden Resort

A 15-20-minute ride from Commonwealth, Quezon City, Montalban Waterpark and Garden Resort is one of the nearest relaxation spots where you can swim and enjoy peace and quiet time (given that it is not peak season). Entrance fee is P250 and they allow guests to bring their own food and drinks. There's also a convenience store near the entrance that sells everything from charcoal to rice and other things you might need to grill, cook, or eat; and of course, toiletries, most importantly. Cottage rental amounts to P700-P1000; if you are a group of  20 or more people, there's a pavilion available for rent that can accommodate that much. They also have an area where you can conduct seminars and other events such as debuts, weddings, birthdays, etc. You can also use the videoke for P900 (or if you can haggle, you can only get it for P700) and it is good for use during your entire stay, so you better get your songs ready and lined-up. Their restrooms and shower rooms are impressi

Ang Liham ni Andres Bonifacio kay Ka Oryang

1897  Mayo  1 Mahal kong Oryang, Andres Bonifacio at Gregoria de Jesus photo from the web Mali ka. Hindi kita nakasalubong upang sa dulo ng kalsada, ako ay liliko sa kanan at ikaw sa kaliwa. Sapagkat saan man tayo dalhin ng ating pakikibaka, ikaw lang ang aking itatangi at makailang ulit na ihaharap sa pulang bandila. Hindi tayo nagpalitan ng kwento upang sa pinakahuling tuldok ng pangungusap, ang karugtong ay alingawngaw ng katahimikan. Walang pagod kitang aawitan ng imnong pambayan, Oryang. Hindi kailanman ako mauubusan ng salita upang maialay sa iyo bilang mga tula. Maging ang bulong at buntung-hininga'y magpapahayag ng pagsinta sa tulad mong umiibig din sa bansa. Hindi tayo sabay na tumawa, nagkatinginan, at tumawa pa nang mas malakas, upang sa paghupa ng halakhak ay may butil ng luha na mamimintana sa ating mga mata. Loobin man ng Maykapal na pansamantala tayong magkawalay, tandaan mong ang halakhak at sigaw ng ating mga kasamahan ay sa akin rin. Hindi ka dapat masabi

Some might find it weird about how we juggle up on our interests. Some would say that there's always so much going on and some (might) find it interesting, too. Nonetheless, we just do what we love, what we are interested and passionate about and even the things we don't even know at hand hence trying out and its conversion. Interests, passions and talents turn to 'work' and eventually to crafts (well, whichever comes first). And same goes as what Tina Fey once said, "Your work is your craft and your craft is your art." How we care and hone our given skills and talents, as well dig into the deeper process on the things we are interested about (and even with those we are not totally into); then learning goes along with it.  Speaking of interests and different approach to ideas, medium and overall art... art galleries and/or museums are the best places to see the various aforementioned accessions.  I've visited different art galleries and museums
