Death

-
We were all happy and excited the last time we went to Laguna... We are back today and we feel totally ironic.

Life is too short, as they say. It's true, indeed. We all made our choices, still making ones and battling to whatever the universe is offering now.

Morrie Schwartz (Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom) said that "Death ends a life not a relationship."

My aunt passed away. She has gone through a lot of medications due to stroke and apparently her body has given up. She experienced the attack of it three (3) times at the very least, and I think it's time for her to join the Almighty God, rest and live anew in His Kingdom. Death ended her life but definitely not her relationship with us nor our relationship with her.

This is going to be a sad Christmas for my family. We aren't complete anymore and it would never feel the same again, but what we are thankful right now is that we have learned to value life more -- we have to live it everyday like it's our last day, we shall do the things we want and need to do... things that will make us happy and some stuff that we can learn something by doing it. There's gotta be some shizz along the way, that's for sure. But we must remember that we all need that shizz to learn and classify whether that thing will be good for us.. or yeah, not-- it is His way of telling us that we deserve something better, that He has better plans for us.

I'm running out of words to say the things I'm feelin' right now. No matter what will happen for the next days, perhaps we should just be ready and tell life to bring it on. We have a life, let's live it. Absorb the pain and move on. (Sorry for the cluttered thoughts.)
Forward is the direction of our lives.

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 m...

Pinto Art Museum

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...
