Lola's Death Anniversary - Missing You

Socorro
isang tula para sa isang mapagmahal na Lola

antagal na kitang di naramdaman,
ni kahit sa panaginip di ka man lang dumadalaw
kahit sa gunita, parang nakalimutan mo na ako...

2012 - nang ikaw ay pumanaw...
ako'y nalungkot, umiyak at humagulgol
akala ko'y wala nang katapusan-
ang nadarama kong kalungkutan

subalit totoo pala ang sabi ng ilan-
ang panahon ay nakakapaghilom
ng sugat...
mga sugat na iniwan ng nakaraan

ngayo'y bigla kitang naalaala,
nagmessage ang nanay ko-
sinabing death anniv mo pala
ako'y nabigla at napatigil...

parang kailan lang, nang ikaw ay pumanaw
dagli kong naala-ala
ang yong suot na mahabang saya
sa tuwing may pagsamba

kayganda mong pagmasdan-
pinuri pa nga kita noon,
habang tayo'y papunta sa kapilya
naglalakad, at ikaw ay napatawa

nagunita ko tuloy ang 'yong ngiti
na siyang nagbigay sakin ng pag-asa
pagkat kung may lumbay at hapis man noon
yaon ay pawang nawawala, sa 'yong masaganang pagkalinga

malapit na akong grumaduate noon sa college,
pangako ko sa aking sarili, ililibre po kita
itre-treat sa jollibee, lalabas at kakain at mamamasyal
subalit di mona pala ako maaantay...

bigla kang pumanaw,
ni dika man lang nagpaalam...
ngunit ako, ako'y naging saksing buhay
kung paano mo kami iniwan.

masakit man sa aking damdamin
subalit kailangan kong tanggapin
ngunit masaya ako, sa kabilang banda
pagkat natapos mo ang 'yong takbuhin

alam kong naging busy na ako...
di na kita nadalaw sa 'yong puntod
tuwing ako'y umuuwi sa probinsya..
pasensya kana..

nais ko rin sanang sabihin
na kung andito kalang...
ikaw' sana ay lululan
sa aking sasakyan

di kana maglalakad,
papunta sa palengke
o pag bumisita sa 'yong mga kaibigan
pagkat ika'y ihahatid ko, upang dikana mapagod

pero alam kong payapa ka na diyan
kung saan ka man nakahimlay
ang alam ko, magkikita pa rin tayo
pagsapit doon, sa bayang banal.

INC Year End Pasalamat OOTD Day1 (Saturday)

Today marks the #IglesiaNiCristo Year-end Pasalamat (Thanksgiving).

The feeling of gratefulness is beyond immeasurable. And what do you do if you feel that way? Your heart is full diba?


And your mind oozes with so much emotions, down to your heart, radiating to your body. Which is all the more just right to prepare your clothes, or outfit on that special occasion - the Thanksgiving day.

Pasalamat is an event of the Iglesia Ni Cristo happening worldwide simultaneously - it's a special worship service themed in exultations of hymns and praises, of offerings, of listening to a special sermon, and of prayers - because of His great abundance of love, mercy, and compassion.

For it was tasked to the people of God, in Romans 12 verse 1, "I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship"

It may not be as lavish as this world has to offer, but content of the heart does matter the most. For this is just an initial or part of the preparation worthy to His sight. Be of a living sacrifice before Him.

Happy Thanksgiving brethren, salamat in sharing your pics via IG. Be proud of your election.

Tomorrow is my tupad, ako naman.

Pusang Gala Na Nakakabighani

I dunno, but this is so satisfying. The meters to awwww 🥰 ness is indescribable. Wait! It's not even the "adorbs" factor of it.

There's something inexplicable about it, yet, there is something to it that feeds your innermost desires. Not sure what's the term but staring at it makes you feel glorious, satisfied and scared at the same all at once.

Just my thoughts.

According to reliable sources, this was effective since December 7 this year. To be honest, i don't even know how much  is my monthly contribution of Philhealth.

But it's worth noting below these changes and scheduled increment up to 2025. Lakas maka-forecast ni @Philhealth ah!
