Meet Gladys…

Today, im celebrating my 27th birthday…my 27th year of existence in this world!

Im so glad to have reached this age, living a full and exciting life. I think I should have nothing to complained about though, it has been my habit to complain and express my discontent over things and matters that surrounds and concerns me…

Today, I have again realized that there a lot of things in my life that I should be thankful enough. Below are the four main reasons :

1. My family - I can not say that I have a perfect family as mine is just a normal family; with flaws and weaknesses but is united and strengthened by our love and concern for each other. I always find comfort knowing that they are always there for me to support and love me completely, and unconditionally.

2. Few but loyal friends - I may only have very few, close friends but I am sure that I can count on them in times of trials and bitterness. I know that they will stand up for me and assure me of their confidence in me as a person and as a human being.

3. A rewarding and fulfilling job  - I maybe in a disaster-prone locality right now and far from the conveniences that i used to enjoy several months earlier, yet I am convinced that through this job, I am and will be able to contribute positive changes in the lives of the people that I am meeting here. It is really an opportunity to be of service to others and touch people’s lives.

4. A loving and thoughtful "significant other" - My life won’t be this happier without my "HoneY". He has been my source of strenght and inspiration and the one who constantly reminds me to be content and happy amidst the challenges and trials that this life offers. Truly, he is my shoulder to cry on, a reliable ally, my trusted confidante.

Minsan ang saya…minsan ang lungkot…ganyan nga, ang hirap ispelingin ng buhay!

Dito ko ngayon sa harap ng laptop, todo emote…buti pa ito, walang angal sa mga sasabihin ko, "total acceptance" ika nga.

Hindi ko alam, ang gulo ng isip ko ngayon…basta malungkot ako ngayon, napapraning din…

Siguro hindi lang naman ako ang nagkakaganito sa mundo…marami pa…kaya ok lang sabihin mang praning!

Sige bukas na lang,pag hindi na ko praning….

Here I am again, in front of of my computer, staring blankly on the monitor. I know there’s a lot to be done yet my mind seems to be nowhere to be found. My bed is seems so inviting, all i wanted is to just get me some sleep.. or just lie down and let my imagination fly.

I miss you hon…you just don’t know by now.. But I miss you so, I wanted to be with you. Time, let me ask you to fly …and so I’ll be, re-united with my honey!

Napakaganda ng Mayon. Ngayon ko lang ito nakita at tunay ngang kahanga-hanga itong makita lalo na sa personal. Matagal ko ring inasam ang pagkakataong ito na masilayan ang daragang Magayon.

Ngunit kakambal ng ganda, naroon din ang malulungkot na kuwento na naging kabahagi ang Mayon. Sa likod ko ay ang 2 krus na nagsisilbing alaala ng mga naging biktima ng bagyong Reming. Maraming batong gumuho mula sa dalisdis ng bulkan ang nagdulot ng pighati sa mga pamilyang nasa paanan ng Mayon. Nakakalungkot na ang dating bahayan na nasa likod ko ay biglang sa isang iglap ay nawala na ng tuluyan.Natabunan ang lahat at maraming nabuwis na buhay…
