We are about to hear mass. While waiting for my sisters I started taking pictures. A picture of sunset but the sun is already hidden.
It reminds us that the day has already ended and it's time to take a rest.

Tonight I Can Write the Saddest Lines by Arnel Paciano Casanova

Tonight I can write the saddest lines
Write for example "The floodgates are shattered and the heavens shiver as it cries"
The night wind wails in mourning and the sky bowed down
Tonight I can write the saddest lines
I loved my people and they loved me too
though at nights like this, I wanted to hold them closely in my arms
but i lost them in the rage of the heavens
As their tears swept them to the edge of the seas
I loved them and they loved me too
How could one not love their sweetest smiles and gentle eyes
Tonight I write the saddest lines
To know that I did not have them and lost them in my arms
To hear the silence in the crashing waves
Makes the night darker than dark
To feel the emptiness of the moonlight sucks the strength in my heart

why would it matter if my love could not keep them
my heart is shattered and they are not with me
That is all. in the horizon, a dirge is singing.
in the horizon my spirit longs for the joyful children lost in the sea
like Sisa, I search for my Basilios shouting their names
until my voice is hoarse unheard , unheeded
we from this time, will not be the same
i love my people and i shall never fail loving them
that is certain and if my love could not keep them
i shall make my love greater than the tears that the heavens could give
they will be in my gentle arms yet strong, unbent
their laughter, their hopes, their dreams will be safe in my heart
i shall love them even if i have to endure the pain
even if the floodgates would open again
the love of my people and my love for them
shall forever endure
we shall speak to the universe in compassion
because through nights like this one i held them in my arms
the pain of loving and losing shall make me
regain the strength to stand, walk and believe and love again.

The Joy Being a Filipino

Pinoys regardless of adversity has always been among the world’s happiest people. In fact it is during the darkest most desperate times when we laugh loudest, love hardest, it is when we are at our most inventive . This is what makes Jollibee proud to be Filipino. By staying true to its and principles. Jolibee has weathered and overcome economic uncertainty and multinational competition to emerge as this country’s largest and most successful fast-food restaurant chain. With over 660 stores in the Philippines and 50 abroad thousands of dedicated employees and partners and millions upon millions of satisfied customers, there is a reason to be jolly. This dramatic achievement , however, is merely a result of hard work and good values. By remaining close to the interests (and appetites) of the Pinoy, by never compromising quality, by striving to provide a haven for all that is good in the Filipino, Jolibee has become an institution in the hearts and minds of this country’s people. A testament to our capabilities as a nation that cries out Pilipino tayo. Excellence? Chicken lang yan.
I like this ad from Jolibee that's why I'm posting it in my blog. It's really Pinoy. Even in the worst situation like the recent typhoon Ondoy Pinoys show their best qualities. Out of the situation emerged unsung heroes who risk their lives to save the lives of others. Ang galing talaga ng Pinoy.

This is one of the things that I love to do volunteer work. Helped in packing things for distribution to the victims of the calamity. I was a victim of the calamity but I still feel lucky because my family are still there. I was at home when the flood happened. There's nothing I can do to help them my only resort was to pray for them and I know that God will not leave them in that situation. There are a lot of lessons learned from the calamity.
