mother, it is not your fault

mother...it is not your fault
the deepest deepest love
the deepest deepest wound
beyond knowledge, beyond action
beyond measure, beyond pain
you tightened the bind 'coz she needs it
you loosened the bind 'coz she wants it
and she longed and called for
the deepest deepest love
the deepest deepest wound
have you felt the pain
as if it is your own
make her remember that the
stars are brighter when the
nights are darker...

why so much hurt and so much pain
why so many roads and almost nothing
remains of you and your beautiful soul
beyond reason, beyond words
you tightened the bind 'coz she wants it
you loosened the bind 'coz she needs it
this time she longed and called for
the shallowest of curses
the shallowest of all
you have felt the pain
as if it is your own
made her remember that the
end of road is nearer when the
path seems rougher...

the deepest deepest love
the deepest deepest wound
something remains of your beautiful soul
beyond reason, beyond words
you tightened the bind 'coz you need it
you loosened the bind 'coz you want it
this time you cried and pleaded for
the deepest deepest love and
the deepest deepest cure
she has felt the pain
the way you did your own
make her remember that the
battle is fought and yes mother
it is not your fault.

FB asks - what's on my mind today

CHOOSEDAY TUESDAY THOUGHTS: 

there will be times that trying reading your friends (and not-so-friends) thoughts 

via FB or any other networks will do you more harm than good (most of the time emotionally)...we should always be reminded that perhaps 
they're fighting their own (personal) battles 

and (perhaps) the wall is their only way to let it out. as much as we want to suggest 

for them to direct the words (both good or bad, happy or sad...) to the person concerned,

 it is not always possible...i am just thankful that in my 'newsfeed', 

there are many inspiring posts and if there are negative ones,

 i now resist to pay attention if it doesn't concern me 

(coz if it does, it should be in my personal mailbox). 

praying for those who are hurting, angry, lonely also helps. 

a line or two to cheer them up may also be appreciated...with "teach me how to dowgie" 

(i'm not sure if the spelling is correct), 

 i now resolve that always, 

as always, i have the right to choose and i can always choose to "detach" 

or just choose to empathize in a safe level :) 
choose to think good and be good...so in the end, 

i will feel good...about others, 
and about myself...

wake me up when september ends

SOYAMI - so yummy! @ Active Fun

As my boyman Wowa enjoys the so-yummy Soyami, I can't help but feel good thinking that I am serving him not just a snack he enjoys but also a snack that I know is also healthy... It is made from real soya (protein! calcium! fiber!) and I so love it too!


This afternoon, Active Fun at SM North hosted yet another fun-filled event for kids while mommies were learning from a Nutritious and Delicious Soyami Cooking Show. Nadine Tengco, a US Certified Nutritionist and Pinoy Biggest Loser Fitness Partner taught moms some tips and tricks in preparing healthy 'baon' and also shared  healthy recipes using Soyami products. Fun and informative!


With moms and active kids like I and Wowa, it is a must that we take into consideration health and 'fun-learning' above all. That would be one of the secrets to better living.  May all mommies and their kiddos have more of the likes of Soyami and Active Fun!

where is the bend in this road?

all we are is...

I close my eyes...
Only for a moment and the moment's gone
All my dreams...Pass before my eyes a curiosity
Dust in the wind...All they are is dust in the wind
Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do...Crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind...All we are is dust in the wind
Now don't hang on
Nothing lasts forever but the Earth and Sky
It slips away...And all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind...All we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind...Everything is dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind

*a song by KANSAS
-always makes me think.
about life and how it is temporary...
about how this idea confuses me too.

some good things never last

it's three in the morning
you're nowhere in sight




and all that I wanted was to be with you tonight

i've watched love get closer
and then fade away
i've seen you believe in me
i've seen you trying to stay


but what good is holding on
when you know that all
you can think about ...

...is letting go


they say if you love someone
then set them free
if they come back again
then in the end, it was meant to be

i thought we were lovers
i thought we were friends
i guess when reality steps in...
the dreaming ends

we live for the future
we learn from the past
no matter how hard we try
some good things never last

be true to yourself, my love
that's all I ever wanted you to be
just don't forget to smile
when you think of me

i' ll reach for the stars
i have got them in sight
there's someone who really needs me
out there in the night

we'll live for the future
we'll learn from the past
no matter how hard we try
some good things never last


why can't they last?
