I was already starting to study more about html or xhtml etc. and wordpress and I had so much time to do it but, my attacker began bothering me and I have to lie down in bed because of it. Headache is crippling me....Suddenly, it just came to my mind that I can die anytime and I cannot anymore do some blogging! (Can you imagine what I was worried about? Foolish me!) But blogging makes me happy and it puts away some tensions that I might be having sometimes. But the most powerful medicine for me is prayer, actually. I am going to bed soon and I would be living(one disadvantage of trying to learn another language you forget the spellings of the other languages you know) I mean I would be leaving you with two of my favorites quotes that serves as a reminder for me everyday.
"It takes only a moment to be kind, but the result can last forever." "How beautiful a day can be when kindness touches it."
This blog was posted 22nd of April.......I must say that I am blessed with nice good hands. My hands gives me the chance to give life to my imagination-like these pencilholders that I made. One thing that I realized is that I have a passion in doing, whatever creative things that I suddenly thought about. One bad thing is that sometimes I don't sleep unless I finished it, and until I am satisfied with what I have accomplished. I have done quite a lot of different things and most of them were given away to friends and relatives. What say you?
This blog was posted 19th of April.......I saw him while I had some time shopping in Bahrain. He was looking at me.....and afterwards I said, "Okay, you can go with me!" He was so happy that he gave me a big smile while his cheecks shines so brightly afterwhich he began singing "my heart goes sha la la la sha la la in the morning...."I have to remind him everytime, that he has to sing me the song "sunrise" by Norah Jones.
We had a short cruise trip to Oslo, Norway some time ago. The first picture is taken while the ship is slowly leaving Copenhagen. The place is called Amalienborg and which is the winter residence of the Royal family. The second one is in the center of Oslo. The last one is myself with my silver coated date whom I called Fido.
The picture above is in the center of Copenhagen some time ago and on my back is one of my favorite works of Fernando Botero where he had an exhibition of all his works scattered all over the city. I wanted to end my blog today with a question.... What topic would you like to discuss in your blog but you cannot?
GOOD BYE This blog was posted 2nd of April during the death of Pope John Paul II. I decided not to include anymore the lyrics of the song Tell the world of his love (1995 World Youth Day Hymn - Manila,Philippines and added a picture of him.) Pope John Paul II 1920-2005 My memories during the first time I saw you would forever linger in my mind. It was an indescribable feeling that I thought my surrounding was all white and you were there waving at me and there was peace....Going back home, I went in front of the television watching and silently crying. The cameraman was so close to you that all the time you were talking, he focused his camera only to your face and I felt I was just beside you... nbsp;
This blog was posted 5th of April. The church is called Osterlars church in Bornholm, Denmark. I have this fear about getting sick and being confined in the hospital. I have been a witness to a lot of deaths since I volunteered myself to help in the chaplains office of a hospital, and was working at the same time in the admission office until I stopped some years ago. Part of my job was to interview patients in the emergency room and there, I became an observer about what's going on, and the relationship between a patient and a doctor. My fear is not only about getting sick but much more about the doctor and nurses that will take care of me. I have witnessed a lot of incompetence or the kind of attitude by the people who are supposed to take care of the sick and who should be giving enlightenment and lightness for the pain you are having....I realized my fear is also extended to my loveones, and for someone who has no idea about medicine and medical terms that I am just familiar because I always read and hear about it but really doesn't know what it is really. How can I be sure that my loveones will be getting the right treatment or there was no guessing in some way? So many hospital tv series have I religiously followed and one of them was St. Elsewhere-ohh that was a long time ago and Chicago Hope and some others I cannot remember now, since I started having this fear. ---and one of the reasons why I work as a volunteer in the chaplains office, mostly to balance everything that was negative and make it positive at the end....I was thinking maybe it can help me embrace my fear and do something about it. What I have realized is that it won't go away and all I have to do is to pray...."each day, i try my best to choose to heal-not hurt, to forgive-not to despise, to persevere-not quit, to smile-not to frown and to love not hate...."
This blog was posted 31th of March. Pictures was taken in Bornholm, Denmark. The second picture was in a place called God's home. There was a seafood buffet(mostly eel)and I had a nice time eating shrimps. It was cold and windy and foggy....We have to go after the sun and we found out that it would be sunny in the north, and so we went and the sun was shining and yet, it was still cold. On our way, we found this harbour named the Holy or St. Peter Harbour-in the picture there's a couple sitting and enjoying the sun. We liked it.
This blog was posted 19th of March. I have been missing a lot of my friends. When I was working, I thought I spend less time socializing with my friends. Now that I donĀ“t have work, nothing have changed. It is either that they are the ones who are more busier now or many of them have moved away miles and miles away....This morning, I have thought about a special friend of mine. Allow me to tell you about our friendship and where it all started. I joined this International friendship club way back in 1986. I don't even remember anymore the name of the club. They gave me 5 names and addresses from 5 different countries and I was supposed to send letters to them. All of them answered and we exchanged letters for a while, but only two of them became my constant pen friend. One of them stopped some years ago and I was trying to get in touch with him, but he did not answered back. The only one left and have been my faithful ever pen friend is a japanese lady named Richi. Imagine the time and money we spend sending cards, letters, pictures and gifts to each other and yet, we have not seen each other personally and for so many years. The day finally came after 18 years, and I found myself standing and waiting in the train station. A lot of people came rushing out of the train and it was hard to see where she is coming from-when suddenly, I felt a tap on my right shoulder and there she was with her big smile. It was a very short visit(only a night and day), and it was not enough....Last week, I received a package of goodies from her and with a note that she might visit me again next month. Wowwowwie! I am looking forward to it already.
After the rain..... This blog was posted 12th of April. Raindrops keep fallin' on my head.....It rained a little in the morning and it was nice to go out and I took some pictures. They are my newly grown tulips.
That is what happened to my blog last night. I was "so dead tired" and having my usual headache again that my stubborn-nessssss to go on has crippled me to stop....I decided to add something in my template that when i hit publish, it was lost like thin air. I was not able to recover my posts for whatever reasons??? although I have everything saved in my computer, i thought maybe some of my files are too big to recover....Anyway, I don't usually give up and here I am starting anew. To all my sweet passersby bloggers and for those who have left their comments, it was my lost....I still have the comments saved from Fr. Stephen, John, Alex, Gege, Taba and Elizabeth. Thanks guys!.
In my dream, I am dreaming like a dreamer....
everything is all about you and me and the world we live
in. It is not a perfect world and it's very difficult most of the time, but we manage to reach out, even see and experience things positively most of the time. Life passes us by so quickly, and every chance we get-we try harder to make it work- because life is beautiful and so were YOU and I.
