Jovial and full of life

I thought about you recently and in my heart I was celebrating the fact that you had soo much of life even towards your old age. I never expected you to leave us so soon (00.45 am 11/08/08). I enjoyed your jovialness and your love for life. The way you would seize the day and just have as much fun as you wanted to.

You were always the life of the party. You treated everyone of all walks of life with the same attitude. Happy and warm. You make people feel they are appreciated and loved. I know Penampang will miss your presence at every "Keramaian" (party). I miss you already.

You remind me of my own Grandma, your Aunty as well. I miss my "Ina". She was strong and decisive. Always had a mind of her own. My Dad did mention that he thinks I have been made similiar to you and Ina. That is an honour I can not take for granted. You were both strong and believed in your ideas. The only difference was that you were more accessible to everyone at any time. I know you would not hesitate to talk to Kings or peasants any time of the day. In fact I love your idea of fun. If I ever grow to be as old as you were I would want to be like you. Jovial and full of life.

Rest In Peace Aunty Tingguning. I know you will have a special place in Heaven. May God Bless You.

Yes me too.. Strange that I thought of her just last weekend. I do not think any body can beat how much everyone will miss her and have loved her in her life.

hi rach,

si C. Pain bah ni. I hope you're fine and your baby. I wonder when you are due for your baby boy.

Doi gia, I'm very shocked to know that she has passed away. I couldn't believe that she has gone knowing she was full of energy and high spirit. She has the reputation of stiring a party! She is full of fun, witty and hilarious. Kg. Tuavon will never be the same again without her and nobody could replace her. I also wish I am like her. Party till you drop like there's no more tomorrow :)May her soul rest in peace. Tumodoh noh Ina Tingguning....

P/S Rach, any reason she passed away?
She had a ruptured vein in her head I think. She was in coma for a night then she passed. I hope I am right.

How is lovely Tia? hope both of you are well.. My baby boy is handsome, well and good. :) I am soooo thankful

Tia is fine, well and very happy little girl. Congratulation on your new baby's boy new arrival. Little Raphael is a handsome little prince and healthy. Still too early to say which side he is either you or MOH. Well done to you after the labourious hour before the birth. It was worth it but poor you.. sengsara oh. I'm so happy for both of you. Take care and do keep in touch.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

Yesterday was a wonderful day. My Kiddo had a wonderful birthday with his cousins and girlfriend. hahah not a girlfriend at 3 years old per Se but a friend's daughter. Sigh.. I can smile and I survived. It is six months now.. and we are still living. Thank you God for watching me and my family. Today I am working as I have to meet a deadline. I miss my kids but it is going to be like this for the rest of their lives and my life. There will be times I can spend all day with them and days that they do not see me at all. Tomorrow I know I will have them to myself all day long. So I hope it will be good. In the future I hope to be a better mother to them. I hope that they will have a bright future and have a lot of laughs along the way. Peace to the World.

change is constant

I like the title of my blog. It just wraps up life so well. Everything constantly changes. Everyone grows. It is amazing.. The wonderful thing that I have realized is that when you feel down, it means one day you will be happy. If you are happy.. no one knows it will turn bad or worst or better. But that is life. It changes. Hence you have to change with it. Otherwise you get blocked or frozen.. I love life.. I love the way it changes.. because something nice just happened and I feel sooo very happy..

Hey lady.. you lady!

Ha ha gotcha... I am not cursing at my life. I am just cursing at my bloody persistent headache. I have been to the specialist and Dr ENT said I had a sinusitis. Uwaaaaa... never heard of that.. Why now Why me.. I need my health to be tip top. That is why I have my headaches, my sinus is infected. Nevermind. That just means I have to work even with this bloody awful headache. Had popped to panadols this morning. Maybe it is past it's due date. I do not notice any relieve of headache. Hmmm... Plus I have to meet the BIG guns today at five. Maybe I should sleep first and rest my poor head. Okay this panadol popping preggy lady will in a nutshell still want to talk about American Idol.. I just can not wait for tonight. Last week I got too busy to mention my lady favourites.. I really like that teeny tiny Filipino girl, Ramiele Malubay, That Asia’h Epperson... her performance was joyful, Carly Smithson really dissappointed me ... I really hope she improves... Syesha was good too.. Com...
