Happy Mother’s Day 2010

8 May

My mother called me last Sunday during  celebration  of the mother’s Day in Spain yes she live in Madrid, to greet me and my sister  a Happy Mother’s Day. I soon realized that yes I’m a mother for 4 years now and I found this poem which is very describe a mother’s life. But after all the hardships of giving birth, diaper changing, sickness and sometimes day seems like impossible especially when you are in grocery counter after a day in the kindergarten and the candies and chocolates are just just within reach even  by a 4 year kid I’m still happy to be a mom. I feel whole and appreciated when my son tells me every time he has a chance but he makes it sure to tell me before he’s going to sleep and when he wakes up ” Mor, du er den bedste i hele verden” Mother, you are the best in the whole world. Now he’s into drawing and I will post one of his ever first drawing with my smiling face and my name and I was smiling when I found another piece with may name and my age and MOR (mother)  just before he sleeps he gave me one with all the numbers of buses and train so I know where and what to take. See how thoughtful my son is. I remember my mother used to tell me then that the only way We the children or maybe women can pay the hardships of our mother is by giving birth and rasing your own children and now we’re quits no, I don’t think so I only got one she has 5. I love Mom “happy Mother’s Day.

To my Nany, Lola, aunties,friends and to all mothers Happy mother’s day. I found this poem in the net unfortunately I forgot where was it from so I can indicate my source. I dedicate this poem because it describe how motherhood change us to something even better.

Before I was a Mom
I made and ate hot meals.
I had unstained clothing.
I had quiet conversations on the phone.

Before I was a Mom,
I slept as late as I wanted
And never worried about how late I got into bed.
I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.

Before I was Mom
I cleaned my house each day.
I never tripped over toys or forgot words of lullabies.

Before I was a Mom
I didn’t worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom
I had never been puked on
Pooped on
Spit on
Chewed on
Peed on
Or pinched by tiny fingers

Before I was a Mom
I had complete control of:
My thoughts
My body
And my mind.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom
I never held down a screaming child
So that doctors could do tests
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn’t want to put it down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
When I couldn’t stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small
Could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom
I didn’t know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn’t know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn’t know that bond between a Mother and her child.
I didn’t know that something so small
Could make me feel so important.

Before I was a Mom
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay
I had never known the warmth
The joy
The love
The heartache
The wonder
Or the satisfaction of being a Mom.

I didn’t know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.

Calling on All Filipinos to Unite in Asking for An Immediate Suspension of the LRT-MRT3 Diggings Near Monumento

24 Feb

Here is a repost from www.tagamonumento.blogspot.com

27 January 2009

Today, I’ll try to go on air via radio and will attempt to reach other sectors of media to issue an urgent appeal to Philippine authorities led by PGMA,MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando and Caloocan City Mayor Enrico “RECOM” Echiverri for them to cause an immediate suspension of the construction related to the “closing the LRT-MRT3 loop” project being conducted near the Monumento area. The Bonifacio Monument is the greatest monument to valor and to love of freedom on earth. We are not against modernization but progress should not come at the price of desecrating our country’s soul. We have an online petition to have the Bonifacio Monument included among the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites.
We hope that Filipinos whom we look up to for leadership, moral courage and ardent nationalism will speak out in support of this call. Our leaders have to consult us closely on every vital issue and this has not happened in the issue of the Monumento.
We call on people like Bishop Deogracias Iñiguez of the Diocese of Kalookan, Bishop Antonio Tobias of Novaliches, Bro. Eddie Villanueva of the Jesus Is Lord Church, Bro. Mike Velarde of El Shaddai, Executive Minister Eraño Manalo of the Iglesia Ni Cristo, Engr. Jun Lozada and Mr. Joey De Venecia (who exposed the ZTE broadband scandal) to mobilize our fellow Filipinos in heeding the call to defend the Monumento.
We call on the Honorable Chief Justice of the Philippines Reynato S. Puno, perhaps our country’s greatest living jurist (who normally gives the keynote address at the Monumento during Independence Day) to rally our people in defense of the integrity of the Bonifacio Monument.
We call on war hero and senior statesman, Sen. Jovito Salonga, the best President the Philippines never had, to relive the heady days when he led the Philippine Senate in rejecting the RP-US Bases treaty thereby ending the last vestiges of centuries-long foreign military presence in Philippine soil. This time, we need his unswerving commitment to freedom and his unfailing vision in preventing the loss of the monument that he can rightfully call his own.
We call on NUSP and Youth Act Now! led by Mr. Alvin Peters, its spokesperson, to mobilize the youth of this country in the struggle to save from desecration a priceless symbol of our country’s rich cultural heritage.
We call on our Senators and Congressmen, especially those who in 2010 will seek higher positions of public office to make known their stand. Will they stand for the dignity and honor of our country or will they turn a blind eye to what is going on?
We call on all people’s organizations and NGOs and our party-list representatives to set aside their differences and unite all Filipinos under the banner of the Monumento.
Monumento in January 2009 — at this critical time in our history — is a true acid test of Filipino nationalism. Are we going to pass this acid test or are we going to flunk the call for the defense of the dignity and honor of our country? This is a golden opportunity to renew national pride and greatness. It will show to the world that even in a time of severe economic crisis, Filipinos everywhere still have the capacity to respond to the call for cultural nationalism founded on our spirituality and faith as a people.
Dito po sa Heroes del 96 at sa ibang lugar sa Caloocan City, alam namin na mahirap ang laban na ito. Ngunit sa tulong po ng ating Panginoon, bigyan Niya sana kami ng sapat na lakas upang manatiling nakatindig nang may dangal.
Before I end this post, I’ll take the opportunity to publish here a short excerpt from the poem Monumento, Kaluluwa ng Bayan Ko by Jose David Ricardo:
Sana nama’y mula ngayon kapag natanaw mong muli
Sa malayo pa lang Monumentong pilit ginagapi
Ialay mo ang lakas at buhay sa pagpupunyagi
Nang ang kaluluwa ng bayan mo’y ‘wag mapalunggati

Gunitain ang dusa’t pagpapagal ng iyong lahi
Pinoy, Mabuhay ka, kamtin ang laya mong minimithi!
Laya mula sa gutom, pambubusabos at pang-aapi
Laya ng bayan kong sinisinta’t pinagbubunyi

Mula sa Silangan, libong sulo nga’y magliliyab
Dala ang apoy ng damdaming tigib ng pag-aalab
Minamahal ko ang bayang kong Pilipinas
Buhay ma’t yaman ko’y sa sarili’y ipipilas

Sukdulang mawalay ang buhay sa katawan
Sukdulang ialay ang munti kong buhay
Makita ka lang sagana at may tunay na kalayaan
Sapat na ‘yang tagumpay ko, Pilipinas, Inang Bayan.

Kaunlarang pangmayaman, pangdayuhan, pang-iilan,
Tandaan mo, kaibigan, wala itong katuturan
Kung bayan mo’y nagdurusa’t nakalublob sa putikan
Tutulan mo’t salungatin, ito’y isang kahibangan

Daang taon mula ngayon, patuloy titingalain
Monumento na bantayog sa giting ng lahi natin
Kung tayo ma’y nakalugmok, panahon na ng pagbangon
Burol sa lamay ng laya mo, tapusin na at iahon

Iahon mong buong giting, itong bayang nakasadlak
Iahon mo sa dusa, sa pagdarahop at pagsasalat
Iahon mo’t huwag nang hayaang dumausdos muli
Iahon mo sa putikan, ilayo mo sa pusali

Hahayo ka’t anong bitbit sa puso mong ma’y lunggati
Hahayo ka’t anong lakas mayroon sa diwa mong sawi
Humayo kang sa puso mo’y Monumento nakakintal
Humayo kang sa puso may dambana ng iyong dangal
Mabuhay ang sambayanang Pilipino! Mabuhay si Gat Andres Bonifacio at ang magigiting nating mga bayani! Mabuhay ka Pinoy nasaang sulok ka man ng mundo!
Please support the Monumento World Heritage Global Campaign. To sign the online petition, click this link: www.gopetition.com/online/23996. I also hope you can visit and follow my blog at http://tagamonumento.blogspot.com/,
To God be the glory!
To Rolly Ocampo:
Thank you for your initiative.
I cannot post a comment there but I just to say that this is unfair and as a Filipino we have the right to preserve our historical landmark like the Bonifacio Monument. Why the Local goverment and the National historical commission just went on to approve the project.
and to all Filipino
I already signed the petition and I hope YOU will sign it too.

Coffee Time

22 Oct

This picture caught my attention during our study trip last year.

This building is one of the inspirations of our project in school and it’s located in the North Harbor.

Very Scandinavian clean and spacious opt to be called the new working environment but I think the

architect thought of the idea while driving and drinking coffe cause it’s really looks like coffee holder.

Do you agree?
