Did you experience missing someone?

Me, I do! When I saw these farewell photos of my beloved friend and subordinate who just retired from work last December 2022, I can’t hold on my tears rolling down my cheeks.

Time was so fast! Bidding farewell to her that time was really hard. It was one of those emotional moments where I have to bid adieu to my favorite person who is so pure inside and outside for we have been working together since 1990.

For 32 years we hadn’t quarelled nor hurt each other. We both treasured our friendship through thick and thin. We had so much fun. Not to mention the times when we both went home together from school during rainy season crossing the river banks and got wet. There were countless times that we stumble and fall to the ground passing the slippery trails in going home.

During fine weather we enjoy picking and eating guavas along the way until we reached home. She had been a great friend at work! That was not a goodbye but a farewell for her. Thanking her and wishing her all the best was all I can do. Till I meet her again.

I came across this quote posted by Michelle Cohen Corasanti and it made me realize how essential it is to rise every time you fall. I believed that life is 10% what happens to you and 90% on how you react to it.

Don’t get discouraged every time you fall but rise and make a difference because there is always rainbow after the rain. There is always a solution to every problem as well as success after every failure. Failure is the key to success; each mistake teaches us something.

What is life? Definition says it is from birth to death. In between B (birth) and D (death) is a C. It’s a choice. Life is a matter of choices. Life is what we make it, so make the most of it!

Life is everything. Sometimes happy, other times rough. But with every up and down you learn lessons that make you strong. Life isn’t meant to be easy but it’s meant to be lived. Life is worth living. So live life to its fullest!

The Malacanang Palace in the Republic of the Philippines declared Friday, April 21, 2023 a regular holiday throughout the country in observance of Eid’l Fitr also popularly known as Feast of Ramadan through a Proclamation No 201.

The Philippine Government felt the need for its declaration in order to bring the religious and cultural significance of Eid ‘l Fitr to the fore of national consciousness and to allow the entire Filipino nation to join their Muslim brothers and sisters in peace and harmony in the observance and celebration of Eid’l Fitr.

I love this thought. It ignites positivity in me. Being around with people who values my existence is all that matters. They are the people who motivates me when things aren’t well. They made me confident to face the battle.

How about you? Do you like this quote? What can you say about this?

Today marks another significant day in my life. Another 365-day journey around the sun. Approximately 20 million plus other celebrants here on planet Earth will be joyous and lucky enough to celebrate.

I’m aging!!!!! Do I need to celebrate? Of course, YES! Why? It’s because of the countless blessings from above especially my good health. 59 years old is not a milestone birthday to celebrate but it is my time to be merry and be grateful. “I’m really overwhelmed that I’m still alive for another fruitful year in my life.”

Thank you Lord for everything! Happy birthday to me …
