Araw Ng Kalayaan
Excerpt from Google Search - Wikipedia
The Philippine Declaration of Independence occurred on June 12, 1898 in Cavite el Viejo (now Kawit), Cavite, Philippines. With the public reading of the Act of the Declaration of Independence, Filipino revolutionary forces under General Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed the sovereignty and independence of the Philippine Islands from the colonial rule of Spain, which had been recently defeated at the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War.
The declaration, however, was not recognized by the United States or Spain. The Spanish government later ceded the Philippines to the United States in the 1898 Treaty of Paris that ended the Spanish-American War.
The United States recognized Philippine independence on July 4, 1946 in the Treaty of Manila.[1] July 4 was observed in the Philippines as Independence Day until August 4, 1964 when, upon the advice of historians and the urging of nationalists, President Diosdado Macapagal signed into law Republic Act No. 4166 designating June 12 as the country's Independence Day.[2] June 12 had previously been observed as Flag Day.

Things Just Got Out of Hand
MyNiceSpace.com
Just so sad of how things turned out in the office today. Things just got out of hand. I guess it’s my day of " when it rains, it pours." Well, I've learned my lesson. I'll do my best to be careful next time and don't miss on things I need and supposed to do. Lifting everything to God, I know everything will be all right...

The one who got away
copied from Kristine P. (facebook) just want to share this:
In your life, you'll make note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you shared something special, ones who will always mean something.. There's the one you first kissed, the one you first loved, the one you lost your virginity to, the one you put on a pedestal, the one you're with and the one that got away..
Who is the one that got away? I guess its that person with whom everything was great, everything was perfect but the timing was just wrong. There was no fault in the person, there was no flaw in the chemistry, but the cards just didn't fall the right way, I suppose.
I believe in the fact that ending up with someone, finding a long time partner that is, does not merely lie in the other person. I can actually argue that an equal part, or maybe even the greater part, has to do with the matter of timing. It has to do with you being ready to settle down and commit to someone in a way that goes beyond the little niceties of giddy romance.
How often have you gone through it without even realizing it? When you're not ready to commit in that mature manner, it doesn't matter who you're with, it just doesn't work!! Small problems become big; incosequentials become dealbreakers simply because you're not ready and it shows. Its not that you and the person you're with are not good; its just that its not yet right and little things become the flashpoint of that fact.
Then one day you're ready. You really are. And when this happens you'll be ready to settle down with someone. He or she may not be the most perfect, they might not be the brightest star of romance to ever have burned in your life, but it will work because you're ready. It'll work because it's the right time and you'll make it work. And it'll make sense, it really will.
So that day comes when you're finally making sense of things and you find yourself to be a different person. Things are different, your approach is different, you finally understand who you are and what you want, and you've become ready because the time has truly arrived. And mind you, there's no telling when this day will come. Hopefully you're single but you could be in a long-term relationship, you could be married with three kids, it doesn't matter. All you know is that you've changed, and for some reason, the one that got away, is the first person you think about.
You'll think about them because you'll wonder "what if they were here today?" you'll wonder, "what if we were together now, with me as I am and not as I was?" the biggest "What if" you'll have in your life.
If youre married, you'll just have to accept the fact that the one that got away, got away. Believe me, no matter how fairy tale you think you'e marriage is, this can happen to the best of us. But hopefully you're mature enough to relaize that you're already with the one you're with and this is just another test of your commitment, one which will surely strengthen your marriage when you get past it. Sure, you'll think about him/her evry so often, but its alright. Its never nice to live with a "might have been" but it happens.
Maybe the one that got away is the one who's already married. In which case it's the same thing. You just have to accept and know that your memories of that person will probably bring a nice little smile to your lips in the future when you're old and gray and reminiscing.
But if neither of that is the case, then its different. What do you do if it's not yet too late? Simple.. Find him. Find her. Because the very existence of a "one that got away" means that you'll always wonder, what if you got that one?
Ask him out to coffee, ask her out to a movie, it doesn't matter if you've dropped in from out of nowhere. You'd be surprised, you just might be "the one that got away" as well as for the person who is you "the one that got away". You might drop in form nowhere and it wont make a difference. If the timing is finally right, it'll all just fall into place somehow and you know, im thinking, it would be a great feeling, in the end, to be able to say to someone
"hey, you're the one that almost got away.."

The longest 18 days of my life
I was so excited to update my blog whenever I will be home from vacation. But, I never expected to update it with this kind of post.
We are on our most awaited vacation in Bohol when after our tour for the day, my mother accidentally fell on the tiled floor of her cousin's place not noticing the step down from the elevated part of the house with all her weight on her right hip.
You see my mom has rheumatoid arthritis causing her difficulty in walking. We need to assist and watched her while walking and especially on stairs. But that day, I too did not notice the uneven floor. My mother cried in pain, can't even sit or stand. We called an ambulance and brought her to the hospital in Tagbilaran City. The diagnosis: Fracture femural neck right. The doctors explained that my mother needed an operation for her to walk. I was really frightened having all these in a place far away from home not the mention the money needed for the operation and above all, seeing my mother in pain. The doctors did a partial hip anthroplasty, right hip with cemented bone. May mother stayed in the hospital from May 11-26 and finally we traveled home on the 28th. 18 days and it felt like I've aged for 18 years.
I really thank God for the strength given going through all this... my aunts and relatives in Bohol for all the help and the 6 doctors who attended to my mom.
