Starry, Starry Night

One starry night hundred of years ago, a man named Galileo stares into the sky through a telescope he had designed. He discovered more about moons, planets, stars and the universe. He hypothesized that God was holding the universe together through mathematical “laws” that kept it in place and ticking like a well-designed clock.

Three days ago, I saw the stars…the most beautiful ones. For me, only few sights are more inspiring than a star-filled sky especially when you view it with the person you love the most.

Last weekend, I went to Roxas City to visit my boyfriend. We had a dinner of grilled catfish, squid, pork chop, and chicken liver and gizzard (only in the Philippines) in one of the cottages along the beach. With this feast, I forgot about my diet and ate all I can put in my stomach. After that delicious dinner, we decided to take a walk. Then, I had the glimpse of the most beautiful stars I’ve ever seen. Though millions of miles away, they seemed so close that I felt I could almost touch them. The two of us stood still for a moment and gazed at that romantic, amazing scenery. With the cool breeze and the gentle sound of the waves, he held me tight and whispered, “I love you”. Gosh! I’m so flattered…the world stopped turning, my heart stopped beating and the stars were falling…I can see fireworks…oopps…too much imagination I guess….We went home with a bliss and full of love. By the way, it was that night when the stars glittered to its full beauty…..

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

Reminiscing: Ballad of a Mother's Heart

Two weeks ago, I happened to be with the "golden ladies". They were called golden ladies because they're already in their golden age: 50-something. I thought I'll feel awkward because of the age gap but in the end I was wrong. When women at my age had some chit-chats probably it would be about friends, food, fashion, work or even boys (men). On the other hand, these golden ladies were very concerned with their children, grandchildren, and their in-laws (especially). They had some outbursts on how they don't like their in-laws and on how pitiful their children for having the wrong choice of husband/wife. That's when I remembered a poem during my gradeschool. This poem was written by Jose La Villa Tierra. It speaks on the love of parents for their children, how forgiving and how great the love of a mother is for her son/daughter although he/she has hurt her very much. Ballad of a Mother's Heart The night was dark, For the moon was young, And the Stars were a...

Oh What A Rain!

I visited the PAG-ASA site today and according to them: Central and Southern Luzon and Visayas will experience monsoon rains. The rest of the country will have mostly cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms. Moderate to strong winds blowing from the southwest will prevail over Central and Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao and the coastal waters along these areas will be moderate to rough. Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate coming from the southwest and northwest with slight to moderate seas except during thunderstorms. The rain will probably be pouring down for the next few days. Thinking about waiting for the sunny days, I remembered a song I used to sing with my grade school classmates: If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops Oh, what a rain that would be! I’d stand outside with my mouth open wide—– Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah Oh, what a rain that would be! There's a Tagalog ve...

Jay "Bugoy" Bugayan: Deserving PDA Season 2 Grand Star Dreamer

I always watch reality shows here in the Philippines but I am not fond of spending some money to vote for them. However, for the Season 2 of Pinoy Dream Academy, I will surely cut a small amount from my daily budget just to vote for Bugoy. Jay Bugayan aka bugoy came from an impoverished family in Camarines Sur. One of Bugoy's dream is to earn a college degree so he payed his tuition through scholarships and earned his pocket money working as janitor, dish washer and other odd jobs. As a farmer's son, he also worked in the farm and sing songs with the cows and birds as his audience. He never took his talent seriously for until one of his friend discovered his singing talent accidentally. His friend heard him singing while cleaning with a mop. Soon, he joined school competitions that led him to try out for PDA. He said that he never auditioned just for himself but it was also for his family and for all the common people who had "small dreams" in life. At first, I don...
