A thankful heart of a Mother

My greatest responsibility was to take good care of my daughter and my son. I am not a perfect mom, but I am doing the best thing for them. I had given my time to hear their voice. Each of them has different behavior that challenge me.

My daughter lollii is a sweet seventeen-year old lady and she will turn eighteen this coming November. It tells me that I am not forever young, lol. She is a sweet, humble and thoughtful young lad.

While my son John Rey a.k.a. Ken-Ken, is now four years old. He is totally sweet, very emotional, loving and caring.

I am blessed to have these two angels in my life. My heart is full of joy upon looking at these two playing and sharing their time with me.

I am thankful that God had given me the opportunity to take good care of these two angels and He had let me share my love with them. What a joyful heart!!

Blowing His 4th Candle. "Happy Birthday John Rey!!"!!

Every time there was an occasion, like birthday, I always say, TIME RUNS TO FAST. Sometimes, I was surprised every moment that I looked my son. He is only 2 months old when I accepted my responsibility as his real mom and dad, like my own daughter who is going to 18 years this year.

But, I am talking here my son's 4th year birthday which is celebrating today August 8, 2011. I did not prepare any foods for his birthday, since my financial status this moment is not stable. I lost my job one month ago, so I have no salary to received. I was sick for almost one month and I am still spending too much money for the new small business that I started. Meaning, I have no plan to make a children party for him. "Poor Star" tsk.. tsk...

But, I did not stop praying from my God. Though I am busy, my heart keep asking God to provide anything for my son's birthday. Not only in that matter, the more important for me that He will grow up as a good person. My wishes for him is to have a good life, good health, he will grow up as a good Christian and to have fear with God.

Well, it was a busy day for me, I need to do all stuff to finished before leaving the office. I was tasked to met someone for very important matters at 4 in the afternoon somewhere on the mall. I did not expect that this person is one of the instrument from our Heavenly Father, because He knows that I have no penny to buy for my son's birthday cake, as I promised.

God made a way to meet this person because He knows that this person has a good heart in giving. When we met, I told her that I cant stay too long because I need to buy something for my son's birthday. But, she said, stay with me for an hour, just wait for me, I will be the one to buy the cake for your son. At first, I felt shy, but since she offered it, I accepted it, because this is blessings. Aside for her generosity, she bought some fruits and 25 sticks of barbeque and she gave me some cash. God is great!! He provides everything for my son. I am thankful for His greatness.

Upon reaching my mom's home, they just finished eating for dinner. My son said though he has no cake he still happy to have us, as his true family who love him. It's so touching when he talks to me and to my mom. He gives me a hug and kiss saying thank you. Because He knows how we loved and cared him.

Then after he kissed me, I let him to blow his cake and let him to eat his cake and some foods that I bring.

We are also surprised when my sister from Digos came just to be with us on his birthday. It's a family reunion anyway, though they only stayed for 3 hours we are happy and we enjoy talking and letting Johrey a.ka. Ken-ken to share his song and let him to read some of his lessons.

At last, we are all happy leaving from my mom's home. My sister and her common-law husband dropped me first in my new home before they leave for 3 hours travel back in their home town at Digos City.

Thank you so much for taking time reading A Maiden's Testimony.

Pipe Dream...Lollii's Piece

A crowd of famous people cheering, proud and a happy family, sweet and cuddly siblings and a peaceful life of luxury and freedom. A pipe dream of my unprogresable life, a goal that cannot be attained by just a simple individual like me, a bubble which vanished every second, a life that have never was.

I was a prisoner of my own mistakes, suffering from the circumstances life had given to me; I'm craving for love, dignity and freedom, i wanted to be free... free from the shackles surrounding my dirty shaking hands. I once dreamed of a life of pure peace, a life far from the claws of imprisonment, far from the eyes of watchful humans trying to tear up my veins...

A life that can satisfy my hungry wretched soul. For some time, I felt comfort...comfort from teh dark ghostly room of the tower. Then I went back to my dream.. my pipe dream my parents.

I remembered having several kids and I the oldest and the matured one was there taking care of them, while giving my family honor. It calmed my soul.... It calmed my whole body down. I had all the riches on earth even the happiest life a man can ever possess...but that was just a time, once-upon a life story.

I was the opposite of that life, of that person... I have parents whom despised having me as their child, siblings whom tear my weak heart to pieces until it drowned itself in pure blood, a dumb brain and a low ethic individual who even brought neither honor nor happiness to the family. I was an outcast...until now in the time of my death.

I was scared when I heard the creaking of the rusty door, the light that entered hit my eye, two cape man went in and took my weak body out of the cold room. I opened my eyes and saw a bunch of people gatehred around the place. I saw them.. I saw my parents .. I saw my family...

They were crying.. i know they're crying for me... I though I'm the loneliest one in here but I'm not.. I'm not...

As one of the cape man covered my face with a cloth and as he placed the rope on my nape. I came to realize they love me despite of being too juvenile still they cared for me. As the guy swing his a silver on my neck, I lost my life. I felt my soul floating in the breezy air, I glanced at my lifeless body and grinned, a smile of dream satisfaction and happiness...it wasn't a thinking...it wasn't a pipe dream at all..life less body..l need to mingle with death.

Blowing my 38th Candle Part I

Life could be the greatest gift from our creator. He has given us the opportunity to dwell on earth and enjoy His greatest love. We had enjoyed the blessings He showered and embraced the assurance of His UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.

Life becomes a big struggle in my journey. They say, life is like a gamble yet, I believe that my life is a battle, but, I am not alone in the battle because we are all human and we have given this opportunity to know the TRUTH of our LIFE. This is how we must respond to the opponent's attacks and how to get ourselves ready if the opponent won from the battle. Yes, this is my life, become the loser and winner from the battle. All the bruises which I got from that fight healed and lead me unto PEACE and I become more stronger.

At my 38^th years on earth, I have only one partner who carried me and laid me from my fight. And that’s our God. I become more dependent unto Him, He let me know How hard it is to escape from one situation without His guidance. It is hard to decide alone without consulting Him; I become closer unto Him because of those events in my life that I had encountered. In this situation, God had given me an opportunity to know Him, to love Him and Serve Him, despite of those odds in my life, He is the source of my TRUE HAPPINESS that I enjoying right now. I know by thanking Him is not worth but I believe that He is there to listen and embrace me with His unconditional LOVE. God is great all the time!!

Now, It's my 38^th years on earth, I would like to say THANK YOU..

To my FAMILY (my mom, brother with his family, my sister and my daughter) who are there in my side for their support and love, I pray for a good health and more blessings from above.

My Mom and I

My Brother and his loving family

My Sister and her boyfriend

My daughter and I

To my BOSS who helped me and become an instrument of all the blessings that I had received for my daily needs.

To my OFFICE MATES who become my comrades in all matters.

To my BLOGGER FRIENDS that I met personally, our friendship become strong and closer, I want to thank you for you’re time with me guys (Lainy, Twinks, Tammy Rosalie and Cidy) on my birthday.
