My Sister - My Field News Reporter

Courtesy of My Sister's News Coverage

In the event of the Philippine Typhoon - Ruby. My sister went out of her way to record a news coverage of our area. She is a medical professional and occasionally finds it a hobby to make her own field news report.

By her being, she teaches me creative ways to live life. A life beyond career. A life of creative living. A life without limits.  

As with all my siblings, I am always proud of her.

'Kilig' Enjoy the Feeling While it Last

Yesterday, I was surrounded by dreamers.
We were working together to serve about four thousand participants of the Cebu Kerygma Conference 2014 with speakers like Bo Sanchez (National Bestselling Author).

Aside from the hype that I felt after the Kergyma Conference.
I equally enjoyed the sharing I just had with my sisters about Love Life.

We had exchange 'kilig' stories to asking question like, do you think the feeling maybe mutual?
I had asked them, "What may be a women's feeling for me for having done or said this or that?"
and "Did she gave the gift out of courtesy or simply out of gratitude."
My other sister told me to be prepared to be just on the 'Friend Zone'.

I am happy my sisters are my love doctor.
They give me a girl's perspective simply because they are girls themselves. LOL!

When Santa Is Not Around

When Santa is not around..

As I was walking along Mango Avenue, I was thinking, "How long can I survive another day of work?" but I guess these two kids were thinking, "We'll find ways to survive this day even with no shelter, no slippers and even with the little food we have."

I Wish Stories Can Be Told by Just a Look in the Eyes

“I wish they can see in my eyes the real story

I hope there is no need for words

I hope they will understand me.”

I am a child who lives along the street

No slippers and has a dirty face, finger and feet

Begging for a penny from sun rise to sun set.

For me a five peso coin is worth a five hundred peso

Do you need to hear my story?

For your hearts to be moved and for your hands to be encouraged to help?

Look into my eyes

Stare at me for a brief five seconds

Surely you will see pain beneath my joyful smile

And if you want to know my own story

Ask and you will better understand me.

Sana Nakukuha Lang sa Isang Tingin
“Sana nakikita sa mata ang buong istorya

Sana hindi na kailangan pang mag-eksplika
Sana naiintindihan ako nila.”

Ang batang palabuy-laboy sa daan
Walang tsinelas at madungis ang mukha
Nanglilimos sa maghapo't magdamag
Ang limang piso mo ay tila limang daan na para sa kanya

Kailangan pa ba nating marinig ang buong istorya
Upang tayo'y maantig na tumulong sa iba?

Tignan mo ang kanyang mata.
Limang segundos ng pagtitig.
Tiyak may mababasa kang pighati sa ilalim ng kanyang masayang ngiti.
At kung gusto mong malaman ang kanyang kwento.

Tanungin mo siya't mas maiintindihan mo.
