Better Together

Image
Hon, sa walang hanggan mong pagmamahal sa akin, thank you. Simula pa sa unang araw nang tayo ay magkakilala, mga oras na ginugol natin magkasama hanggang sa magdesisyon tayong magpakasal at magbigkis….buong buo ang iyong pasya na mahalin ako at makasama habang buhay. Naging napakabuti mong kabiyak at buong pusong tinanggap ang hamon ng buhay may asawa kung anuman ang ilaan sa atin ng tadhana. Napakapalad natin na hindi naman tayo hiniwalayan ng iyong pamilya upang magaan nating balikatin ang buhay magasawang inilaan sa atin ng kapalaran. Bagaman hindi tayo nabiyayaan ng supling, malugod nating tinanggap ang isat-isa sa likod ng ating mga kakulangan at walang dudang niyakap ang bawat isa, patuloy pang pinagyaman at magiliw na isinabuhay ang pagmamahalan natin.   Hindi naging dahilan kailan man ang kakapusan bagkus naging kasangkapan pa upang sa tuwina ay ipalagay natin ang kasabikan na tila panahon ng “pulot-gata” ang bawat sandaling darating. Maraming mga bagay ang tayo ay ...

Until next time, Hon

Debbie's gone and I'm in grief. Sa kasalukuyan, pilit kong pinaaalalahanan ang sarili ko: "iyon lang ang nakatakda para sa kanya".  Hiram lang ang buhay kung kaya dapat lamang tanggapin kahit masakit.   Contemplating about Debbie's Life: She lived it beautifully, comfortably, happily.  Kilala naman siya ang marami mula pa sa pagkabata, Hindi niya kailangan mangarap at magsumikap upang magkaron ng maayos na buhay.  Matapos makapagtapos ng kolehiyo, pinadanas lamang na makapagtrabaho ng maikling sandali sa Maynila at tuloy hiniling na ipagpatuloy na lamang asikasuhin ang mga ipinundar ng kanyang mga magulang.  Walang gabi na hindi masarap ang kanyang pagtulog. Walang umaga na gugugulin sa pagpapagal upang may masarap na pagsasaluhan ang buong pamilya. Iba ang naging bokasyon niya sa kanyang buhay --- Ang maging kadamay ng kanyang mga magulang hanggang sa huli.  I am a living witness of her immense love taking care of her parents and warmhearted concerns ...

Dyan sa kabilang buhay........

Image
see video: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CIwNnHKnIuG/?igshid=poxvmc6q3uwk November 20, 2020. Limang araw matapos naming ipinagdiwang ang iyong kaarawan nang wala ka na sa aming piling. Mga puting bulaklak, bilin mo kay Cocoy. Nandito na si Elmo, si Zak at si Jayne.  Mga kasamahan mo sa Legion of Mary, dumating din sa kabila ng walang tigil na ulan.  At mga kamag-anak mong mahal na nagsipagdasal din para sa iyong maluwalhating paglalakbay...."dyan sa kabilang buhay".   Kaligtasan, kapayapaan, kaginhawahan.

For Mother

Circa 1938.  Often called "Shirley temple" by friends, neighbors and relatives for she was being adorned with elegant clothes by her alluring mother, Ramona.  To playfully pose in style at a Glamour Studio located at the corner of calle San Rafael (now Fernandez St.) and calle Concepcion (now Coronado St.) beside the stairway leading to the Roman Catholic Church.  Her father Adriano, an Artist/Photographer owns and operates the studio.  He is the only Artist/Photographer in the locality who organizes out-of-town trips for glamour and leisure.

Today, November 15 could have been her 85th birthday if she is still livin...

"Bella" the mother

Image
  An orphan from the barrio, who lived and survived from the help of close relatives. Found a fitting job until she got married and settled down, had 3 fine-looking normal kids, and shaped a typical pastoral family. To me, my most ideal depiction of my mother is that she is “customary”.   A mother who doesn’t know how to cook simply because she is too occupied with the condition of her taxing job.   She got sick in fact because of too much exposure to numerous hospital patients that she was attending. So luckily, she recovered from that illness and got back to work until she retired with flying colors. During those early years though, my mother once in a while proudly presented at least to me a special dish she told me she learned from her “lolo”. “Ginisang saging na saba”.   She taught me how to play “mah-jong” that I later realized my father is so addicted to it that I frequently, upon my mother’s advice asked him to break off and go home.   Thank God, I never...
