Remember your mother not only because it is Mother’s Day but because she is always in your heart.

Here is a poem from Geri Danks that will inspire you to always remember your Mother.

MOTHER, I REMEBER . . .

I remember when I was young and

  would snuggle under my blanket; you

    always tucked me in with with a hug and a

      kiss and words that reassured me of your

        love.  I remember how safe and secure

          I felt when I closed my eyes to sleep.

I remember when I awokr in the morning

   and you were always there waiting with

    a smile on your face, preparing my favorite

     breakfast.  I remember you standing there

       waving goodbye as I walked off to school.

I remember your words of wisdom and

    encouragement when I faltered and was

      afraid to try my wings at something new.

         I remember the look of worry on your face,

            although you tried to hide it well.

I remember how special you made all the

   holidays with your decorations, and how you

     would cook for days to prepare our favorite

        recipes for family gatherings as you hummed

          seasonal songs.  I remember how I wanted those days to last fovever.

I remember when I decided to venture out

   on my own;  you pushed me gently rather than

      showing your pain and anxiety. I remember you

        standing there waving goodbye as I

          wandered off to face the world.

I remember your smile, your gentle voice,

    the warmth I felt in your arms, and all that

      you gave of yourself to those you love.

         I remember every day how fortunate I am

            that you are my mother.

And I always remember how much I love you!

It takes a lot of muscles to frown rather than smile.  So why exert  more muscles?

Smile and laugh will lessen tension and makes you feel good.  I just want to share some funny jokes to add laugh to your life.

1.  One night,  may isang magnanakaw ang umakyat sa isang bahay  sa exclusive subdivision.  Nang makita niya ang may-aring babae at tinanong niya kung ano pangalan nito, -  ang sabi ng babae ay, Inday po.  Ang sabi ng magnanakaw, sige ligtas ka na kasi ang pangalan ng nanay ko ay pareho ng saiyo.  Ng tanungin ang lalaki, ang sabi ng asawang lalaki ay, - Pedro po ang pangalan ko pero ang taway nila sa akin ay Inday.  (ngek!)

2.  May isang girl, ang sabi sa friend niya- nakakainis yung mister ko.  He asked me to have sex with him in dog style.  Ang sabi ng friend niya - there’s nothing wrong about that since he is your husband! Ang sagot ng asawang babae- OO nga, kaso ang gusto niya ay duon kamit sa kanto. (yak!)

3.  “Tandaan mo anak, ang batang sinungaling ay di na tatangkad, uusli ang ngipin, liliit ang binti at tutubuan ng nunal sa mukha”. . .  - Diosdado Macapagal. (he he he)

That’s enough for today! 

My son is very active in Citizens Army Training (CAT).  Every summer, the school or group of school conducted a summer training activities (STA) to be participated by the students from different schools.

My son, Peter was the chosen battallion commander of their school.  The STA will last for 3 weeks stay-in in the host school.  These students will be trained and diceplined like in military schools.  There will be military techniques and endurance to be taught to name a few.

In short, the 3 weeks activities completed by the participating students and the very important event is the graduation.

Last Sunday, I feel honored and proud when my son graduated with honor and a promising leader of their school.

I know, parents like us feel the same way with the other parents that attended the graduation with their sons and daughters.

Event like this is very important not only to our sons but specially to us parents, even it is a small affair. This is the time where we can show to them how much important and how much we love them.

I woke up this morning feeling exhausted.  I have been busy for the last week due to the the concerns in the projects and associations in the different condominiums.

I am handling the concerns/complaints/issues of the condominium associations of our projects in different locations.

It is part of my job as customer relations officer and representative of the developer to assist the associations and the customers/residents of their concerns.

Attending complaints is not an easy job.  Although it is not my problem but I need to evaluation the issues and provide recommendation or propose a solution.

Being representative to the Association is a thankless job.  Your performing additional tasks for the benefit of the members and owners who usually not appreciate the favor you are extending to them.

Succeessions  of meetings in the associations, even in the wee of the hour and holidays are very exhausting and make me less energetic.

These works are often not given importance and not appreciated.  Our department often tagged as the complaint department and usually the important in the company it the profit earning department. 

The only consolation we get is when the customers praise what we did for them and acknowledge our efforts in helping or assisting them.  These appreciation boosts our morale. 

The customers acknowledgement were not written but complaints are always documented.  That is why complaints are more known to the management rather than the appreciation of the customers to the services we have done.

Sometimes, this feeling surpass when you feel that you have done your best but nobody appreciated it. 

There’s always first in life.  First love, first kiss, first job, first born, first experience, etc.

First always memorable because it is the initial.  You don’t know what will happen, what it looks like and what will you feel.

Although, I have my firsts,  but what I will share with you is my first travel abroad.

It is just fortunate that the company needs to evaluate the present management company of one of our buildings.  Since the principal of the said company is in abroad, the company decided to check the policies and the systems the company are using in the companies they handle in hongkong.

I am thankful also with my new boss, Cha,  who decided to include me in the trip.

At first, I am not excited because I know thist is job, so I viewed it as we will be there to work and no time for pleasure.

It so happen that my companions, Cha, her sister, Che and Nikki, the representative of the one of the management company we visited, have in common, which is  shopping.  We planned the schedules to have more time for shopping.

Schedules of viewing the different companies managed by the two (2) management companies is really hectic but at the same time we take time to insert shopping.  We will go back to the hotel really late in the evening because that’s our shopping spree time.  As if there will be no more tomorrow.  So it became working with pleasure.

And the best thing that happened to us is that Che, the sister of Cha, met her friend, who works at Hongkong Disneyland.  She gave us pass to the Disney.  We can go to Disneyland for free.  Hurraay!

Going to Disney is really an experience, not only the plays, movies and shopping inside the Disney but the what we have experienced of going there.  We have not experience the rides of Disney because of limited time because we have to go back to the airport for our departure.  It was our last day in HK.

The service van of the management company drop us to the dropping point of Disneyland.  It is unfortunate that it is the wrong dropping point and Che’s friend cannot find where were are.

The weather was very cold not only because it is raining but the temperature in HK during that time dropped to 5.  We were all freezed and it took 45 minutes before Che’s friend found us.  Whew!  what an experience.

But if pays our waiting, because we really did it to Disneyland.  Meeting Mickey, Minnie and other Disney characters.

I am very happy that my first experience abroad became fruitful and memorable, which will be forever  in my heart.

Hi, this is me.  I am the author of this blog.  Want to know more about me?  Well, I am Emilie and of legal age.  Loves to meet people because my work is related to it.  I’m the head of the Customer Relations section of our company, Federal Land, Inc.  It is a real estate company.  At present, I’ve been in the company for more than a decade.  Ops!  do I sound very old?  But I’m not that old.  You can see it in my picture as a proof.

I came from a big family with four brothers and four sisters.  My parents were both demised and a native of Bulacan and Marinduque respectively.  At present, all of us are now have their own family.

During younger days, since we came from a poor family, my father is a carpenter and my mother is a plain housewife, we go to a public school.  But with the grace of the Lord, we still finished our studies but not all.  It is just fortunate that I was belong to finish my study through hard work.  I am a working student, working in the day and go to school at night.  It pays all my hard work because I graduated in a state university.

Now, I have my own family and my elder son already graduated from college and working in a Japanese company in Makati as software engineer.  My second son is now in fourth year this coming school year.

Are you thinking of my age?  Still, as I told you, I’m still young (at heart).  Wanna bet?

It’s summer time again.  It is time for outing, going to places with family, relatives and friends.  This is also time for bonding.

Summer usually the time waited for by the students.  It is vacation time from the schools, time for swimming, going to the provinces and to the different places.

Speaking of places, you don’t have to go abroad.  There are lots of beautiful places here in our country.  Most foreigners come to our country, Philippines, just to go diving in as far as Palawan and go swimming in the famous beaches of boracay, dakak, puerto galera and lot more.

It is just funny, that Filipinos go abroad for vacation  while foreigners come here to see the different and beautiful places of our country.

It is just sad that Filipinos are foreign in their own country.  They usually go in other countries but they don’t even see the beauty of their own.

Personnaly, I wish I could travel around the Philippines and enjoy the beauty of our country rather than go abroad.

Even resorts in the cities improved a lot.  They cater to all and you can choose  from one city to another. You don’t have to go far.  You can have more fun with your family without spending long hours of travel.  In just few minutes, you can go swimming, picnic, playing, strolling and  more activities in economical way.
