I Forgot

It's been a while since I have opened this site. I guess it's the difficulty of having a good subject is one of the reasons this blog has been parked. As much as I want to share good experiences, I cannot. I even inhibited myself in visiting this site as it reminds me of all the struggles and sufferings I have encountered as an OFW.

But I know I have to face it and make all my experiences worthwhile and some may be inspired by it, so as a renewed commitment I will see to it that I will be able to update this blog even once a week.

For a start let me share what have happened to me and my family back home just weeks ago. 1st week of November my mother was admitted to a hospital which really affected my health as depression was triggered knowing that my mom is in pain. I lost 15 Kilograms not Pounds. Insomnia kicked-in and if you can see me now you will be reminded of "Kung Fu Panda" as my eye bugs turned darker and my face very pale.

Then last November 25, 2009 the worst news was delivered by my wife through phone, my mom has passed away. My world crumbled, I was in denial or still am in denial. I cannot accept the fact that the first woman that I have loved is gone. The worst thing, I was not able to go home due to tons of reasons and one selfish reason is I don't want to see her breathless.

Maybe in due time acceptance will come and wake up one morning with smile on my face and be able to face and live life the way I used to....A grateful son and a proud father of two adorable kids.

Mga Bagong Bayani (OFW) Ipagbunyi inyong Kadakilaan

Sa bawat daan na iyong tinahak Sa mga luha sa mata mo pumatak Sa katawan mong pagod at batak Sa pamilya mong muntik mawasak Sa bawat mga araw na lumilipas Sa yugto ng buhay mong nalalagas Sa damdamin mong nagagasgas Sa mga nagdaraang mga oras Saan ka kaya patutungo? Sino kaya ang sa luha magpapatuyo? May hahagod kaya sa katawang hapo? Manitili kayang pamilya mo ay buo? Araw na lumipas maibabalik ba? Makikita ba mga sandaling nawala? Kaya pa ba sa bigat ng iyong dala? Oras na nagdaan mapapalitan ba? Mga Bagong Bayani....Ipagbunyi inyong kadakilaan..

Tanging Tanglaw (Tula para sa mga OFW)

Sa maghapong walang humpay na pag-gawa Katawang hapo at kulang sa kalinga Hanap lang sa tuwina ay pahinga Ngunit naisin man ay di magawa Damit na nilabhan ay nasa kama Madalas sa malayo nakatingin Nagtatanong kung ano ang mithiin Kalaguyo at kapiling ay dilim Taghoy ng ulilang damdamin Idinadaan sa buntung-hiningang malalim Sa bawat pagpikit ng mga mata Ala-ala ng mga iniwanang sinta Na nakatunghay sa iyong gunita Ang masidhing pangungulila Kayakap mo hanggang umaga Sa muling pagbangon, bakas ng luha Na sa magdamag ay dumaloy sa mga mata Pilit mong itatago para di makita Dahil ika'y malakas sa tingin ng iba Baon mo ay huwad na ngiti at tuwa Sa agos ng buhay sa ibang bayan Wala kang ibang pagpipilian Mahirap man kailangan mong sabayan Dahil sa balikat mo iyong pasan Pangarap sa mga anak sa kinabukasan Ikaw, ako, sila, tayo na nangangarap Na sa ibayong dagat ay naghahanap Asenso na sa sariling bayan ay mailap Sa likod ng makapal na ulap Tanging tang...
