Repleksyon...


malayo ang tingin


Hinubog ng mga kamay
Nililok sa kawalang-malay.
Ang taglay na talino'y
kaloob ng Maykapal.
Pinuhunan ay pagsisikap
Ang tubo ay karangalan.
Natatanging inspirasyon sa lahat ng tagumpay,
Ay ang binhing nagbigay ng
payak na buhay

At sa mahabang paglalakbay,
May aninong sumasabay.
Saan patutungo ang daang napili?
Dinanas ay sakit at
at sanlaksang pighati.
Bato at buhangin
sa binistay na pagkatao,
Umahon sa pagkalunod...
Bumangon sa pagkabigo.


malalim na pag-isip


Sa pagdaloy ng agos
sa ilog ng karimlan
Hinagupit ng alon, humampas sa likuran.
Lumuha ng lubos
sa natamong kalupitan.
Sa mundong naiiba at
hindi pangkaraniwan.


Sadya nga yatang tadhana'y mapagbiro
Kung sino ang hanap ng puso
ay tila nagtatago.
Patuloy na maglalayag...
Walang tigil na kakampag.
Hanggang matunton
ang himig na katugon.


patuloy na paglalakbay


Malayo-layo na rin
ang narating ng mga paa.
Malawak na rin ang
sisidlan ng kaisipan.
Unti-unti nang nababakas sa mga mata
ang pag-asang
magbubuo sa
nawasak na katauhan.


At ngayon ay handa nang sagupain
ang mas matatarik na bangin.
Buong loob na sisisirin
mga balong malalalim.
Upang ang anino sa tubig
ay makitaan ng ngiti...
Tunay na kagalakan ang ipinapahiwatig.

    Napakaganda at napakamakahulugang tula. Lahat ng dinanas noong nakaraan ay sya din ang magpapalakas sa atin sa kasalukuyan.

Lizette Turns 18 - The Opening Prayer

Image
Every milestone in life is a remarkable event... an occasion to celebrate and be grateful for. Nothing is worthier than appreciating God's blessings and praising Him everyday. Either in joy or sorrow, we close our eyes... kneel down to ask for guidance and utter our intentions. The most anticipated day has come. November 16, 2013 marked the 18th birthday of my daughter. As we shared a momentous night in her life, we offered a prayer to ask for the Holy Spirit to come upon us and bowed our heads in God's divine presence. Claire Dave Ellis The opening prayer was delivered by: Claire Dave Ellis Magos , younger cousin of our debutante, currently in 7 th  Grade at La Immaculada Concepcion School. Their closeness goes beyond being cousins because Lizette treats her like a baby sister. THE OPENING PRAYER "GOD of all creation, worthy of our praise, we are grateful for Your presence in this evening’s celebration of life. We thank You for this opportunity in

MyeDomain.info Is Now on Track

The last few days of February had been terrible due to my family's battle with contagious URTI (upper respiratory tract infection). We were all sick and the least that I can do ONLINE is to LIKE and SURF. When I felt a bit OK... I got the chance to update some of my online tasks and was able to successfully transfered my GoDaddy domain to my blogspot site, 8 March 2013, after having tried a number of times... It was a TRIAL and ERROR, because I have no idea about how it's done like the technicalities... fortunately, all my hard works paid off by the kind help of google of course.

Why Blogging?

Image
Photo Credit After almost 15 years of idyllic yet a little obnoxious stint in an office environment, I found myself in front of our computer most of the time because of my newly discovered world: the blogosphere . Well defined as the "world of blogs " or a collective whole of all the blogs in the Internet . I started blogging last May of this year and I am truly delighted with this experience. Firstly, writing is my passion though I considered myself not that professional like a novelist or lyricist, playwright or journalist. I just know how to write but I'm not any "master" of this academe. Secondly, through writing, I can convey what goes in my mind and put them in words. Thirdly, I can freely express my innermost feelings about what I see, what I hear, taste and even the most aromatic scent that can touch my sensitivity. Mye Domain will be turning six months this coming November and I am in fact very grateful for my family for being so suppor

Invading CATTLEYA RESORT

Every year,  Acierto Clan traditionally brings the whole family for an out-of-town summer escapade. We usually go to Pansol, Laguna and enjoy its hot springs but this year we preferred to go somewhere near like Antipolo. Because of our large number, we can only afford an overnight or two-day stay to any private resort.  We usually make the road trip on January to search for clean and spacious rooms that can accommodate the entire clan. Once the reservation was settled, we start the countdown This 2012, we invade the cold waters of  Cattleya Resort .  Came March 31, more than 60 of us headed for the hills of Antipolo, Rizal. Our meeting place was  Jollibee-Tikling Branch  to have our breakfast. We were the first customers of that morning.  While waiting for our orders, we took some photos. My generous cousin AIMEE who settled the resort's day-tour expense
