Thankful and Grateful

We woke up early today to attend and hear mass for the First Sunday of the month (May). All the May celebrants are asked to go near the altar to get blessings and well wishes before the mass ends. Since it is the birthday month of Nicco, he got blessed and told me “ binasa ako ng tubig” ng pari. Haha!

We had Arroz Caldo with Tofu for breakfast. The weather still is scorching hot as the previous days, so I am really taking advantage to finish all of my writing task while the a/c is on! because I can’t really sit in front of the computer working for a long period of time with only the electric fan on. I am so looking forward for the hot weather to end soon.

I am also thankful and grateful that we were able to surpass another challenge. God really provides!  Now that both of the kids will be going to the same school and that would mean more expenses. Ian and I were looking for other opportunities where we could earn more.

Since my salary from my regular day job and online gig are not enough, we are thinking of venturing into a small business. We are praying for God’s guidance on this. I might be resigning to help him around (in which I really don’t mind) or I might look for another job that doesn’t really eat up most of my time for travel alone. Or much better if I can work from home.

For now, I just let things flow. God willing, things will fall into proper places.

Holding on and Keeping the Faith will help us go through in all these things.

A Little Update

It has been ten days since my father passed away and I still couldn’t take a grasp that he’s finally gone… And that what’s only left is his memory. I find comfort in doing flashbacks of happy memories of him with us during my childhood years.

Those good old days that we used to share when life is less complicated for us his children. Loving memory that is!

The realization that someone so dear to you is no longer physically around is quite hard to bear. I can only find comfort in knowing that he is now at peace with our creator.

Moving on, though I still feel quite low with the overwhelming things going around me, added the terrible hot weather, yes, I just really have to put that! :D… Still struggling to find ways on how to cope up, work wise and finance wise! Kids enrollment is just around the corner, not to mention both of my kids’ birthday this summer. So I am really crossing my fingers that work gigs will pick up this time around!

Help and Support

During my father’s wake, relatives came over. As they always say, death seems like a reunion, you’ll get to see long lost relatives during this time. True enough, I saw some of my cousins that I only met during our childhood years.

So sad that one of them have fallen into the hands of a bad influence friends, doing nonsense things  have fallen into the prey of bad vices like drinking alcohol and taking prohibited drugs. The elders decided to send him into a san diego drug rehab like center around their area. We were all praying that he’ll soon be healed and will be led into the right path.

Goodbye Tatay…

To live in the hearts of those we love is never to die- Thomas Campbell

Goodbye Tatay

Last April 9 at around 9 p.m. I received a text from my niece, “Ate Dez, di na gumagalaw si Tatay and ‘di na humihinga” I am not yet done on my reply when this time, I saw her name on my phone calling. She confirmed that my father is already dead. Ian and I went to my parent’s place and we were there in less than an hour. We saw him lying in the couch and he just seems like sleeping. Only, no pulse and no longer breathing.

The funeral service arrived later, he was transferred from the couch into the stretcher and covered him in a life size zip bag.  It was only then that it finally dawned on me that he is already lifeless, dead…

We were blessed to have him around with us until his eighties. He should’ve been 81 by next month. The outpour of sympathy, condolences and support from family, relatives, friends, neighbors, acquaintances overwhelms us all and helps us a lot to cope up with the loss of our father. He is indeed loved by many.

During his wake, people would recall the moments how my Tatay touched their lives in different ways, from simple gestures to small talks, etc. The two nights of his wake was filled with uplifting prayers and songs from two singing groups of our younger brother’s circle of friends. Those angelic voices surely gave out Tatay a smile from afar.

On his third day and last day, there was a funeral mass held for him at Holy Trintity church before he was cremated at a chapel in North cemetery.

As the priest say in his homily, “ Sa pagpanaw, una-una lang. Pwede ring huli-huli ka, or by batch ang paglisan.”

Nauna na si Tatay, nagbibiruan pa kami, “magkikita rin naman ulet sa kabilang buhay, pero wag muna agad-agad!” 😀

 

Goodbye Tatay, ‘Till we all meet again, we’ll surely miss you!

Understanding What Spiritual Retreats Are All About

P5091038

There are many types of spiritual retreats available. Spiritual retreats are offered based on a variety of religions, and most retreats cater to all religions. Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism are all popular forms of spirituality that have specialized retreats for their followers around the world. In Hinduism, a spiritual connection is essential to have a true connection to one’s inner self. Spiritual retreats are often visited by shamanic practitioners, yoga teachers, and practitioners of Tai Chi. Many spiritual retreats have directors as well, which are people that are available to help and guide you along the way to true enlightenment.

Learning What It Means to Attend a Spiritual Retreat

Spiritual retreats are usually peaceful locations that don’t allow the troubles of outside life in. If you attend one of these events, then you can expect to be required to leave the mobile phone and television behind. They are designed to put you at peace with yourself, so that you can reflect to find peace with your life and past. It is a path of self-belief and faith. Contrary to popular belief, these are not places where people wear rags and carry candles as depicted in movies. You can wear whatever you like when you meditate. The staff members at these places are very professional, and you will find that mental freedom is possible and only a grasp away when you begin the process.

Finding a Retreat That You Can Relate To

Every retreat experience won’t be the same, so you will need to find one that works for you personally. The choice you make when you select a retreat will depend on what you are seeking, and what spiritual journey you want to embark on. It is important to research different locations thoroughly, to determine what each one can offer you. Spiritual retreats are not cheap, but they are worth the cost if you find the right one that can really help you. Regardless of which resort you choose, you will be on the road to feeling better about yourself and your life as a whole. You will have plenty of time to think, ponder, and build you inner mind to a place where it needs to be.
