Departed Against Her Will

Tiny, unwanted

Sinless, innocent

Little fetus, departed

From her mother's womb.

She will cry no more

Giggle and laugh no more

Play and dance no more

Live and grow no more.

She was put to rest prematurely

Went back to dust forlornly 

She will never see the light of this world

And see the beauty of it all.

She will no longer feel the love of her mother

Or have the chance to know her real father

She can no longer make her mother happy

Or make her father proud of her.

Poor, guiltless, pitiful little fetus

She was not given the chance to live

To prove her worth or gift

For she was so helpless and was forced

To depart from her mother's womb.

I'll Miss You this Weekend

Dear Friends,

I will be out maybe starting tomorrow because there's no net connection at home due to constant brown-outs caused by so many typhoons that had been ravaging our place one after the other.

For the past four days, i could connect to the net because i always bring my laptop in office. Sad to say also, all our three computer units in office were also damaged due to water that has penetrated our office.

Hope to see you soon, again on Monday...and for sure I will miss posting my blogs this weekend.

And tomorrow will be the interment of my late granny....

I will miss you all....

TEARS

They stained my pillow and

Etched the heartaches

And agonies that almost

Ruined my

Self-worth.

INSECURE

It hurts me like crazy 

Nothing can compare the pain 

Seems to my heart so heavy

Even in my sleep it

Creates a nightmare so hazy

Until I can no longer compare

Real from dreamy 

Ecstasy

Feeling Grouchy?

If I missed being online at Blogville for the past week, it is because I was grounded and I also attended a very important seminar on Performance Management System. As a government employee and maybe just an ordinary employee, I learned a lot from the said seminar. And I want to share with you what have touched me so much. It is about a closing presentation by the trainers after said two-days seminar. Brace yourselves, and hope you would feel the same way I did and still do. 

Feeling Grouchy? 

If you think you are unhappy, picture yourself in their place...

                                                  

If you think your job is tough, how about him?

If you think your salary is low....what if this were you?

If you think you don't have many friends... think of him.

You think study is a burden, how about her?

                                                

When you feel like giving up... think of these men.

If you think you struggle in life... do you struggle as much as he does?

If your society is unfair to you... what about her?

What good did it do to be grouchy today?

Did your surliness drive any trouble away?

Did you cover more ground than you usually do, 

Because of the grouch you carried with you?

If not, what's the use of a grouch or a frown,

If it won't smooth a path, or a grim trouble down?

If it doesn't assist you, it isn't worthwhile.

Your work may be hard, but just do it...

AND SMILE

When you've thank God for every blessing,

what time is there left for murmurs and laments?

If you can't be thankful

for what you receive, 

be thankful

for what you escape.

(P.S. Thanks to our very knowledgeable trainors, Ma'am Jovy and Ma'am Lota of the Civil Service Commission, Regional Office 02.)

They Pour in Buckets

When trials come, they pour in buckets!

Of late, and in just a matter of a couple of months, I've had so much trials, a test of my faith in God.

My kids got sick one after the other. My other ward was forced to quit school, she being a 4th year college already, due to anxiety disorders. So much money has been spent. And just last week, my hubby called informing me that he will undertake an unexpected medical sign-off from sea-based work in Europe for more or less two months.

And as if a coincidence or maybe that a very good and dear friend of mine, suffered some trials, too. He shared of a failed house mortgage loan (if that would be the right term i may use here, please correct me if I am wrong). And many other failed financial investments. I just don't know why. I told him as if to console him because I may have been a part of some of the failures, well, that's it, "when trials come, they pour in buckets". Not just tears that pour in buckets, you know.

What I am sharing here is just a slice of the pie. In fact, there are more other serious matters that have affected my existence. And maybe, my dear friend's existence, too. (My apologies to you my beloved friend).

What's nice about those things that are happening in our separate existence is that, we have each other to console us.

Those trials have become more bearable. And we have to share each other that these trials will come to pass and hope, it will be soon.
