I am still in Davao as my Uncle and I decided not to travel yet coz of the storm signal No. 1 in the Visayas and a bit part of Mindanao.So if we do we'll just end up stranded in the ferry station like my neighbors who also attended my friend's wedding.

I was chatting with my boyfriend when he told me that a massacre has happened here in Mindanao,but quickly dismissed it for I didn't know about it thinking it is far away anyway.

But as I sat on the couch in front of the TV watching the early evening news I was horrified to find that this is not just like any of those massacres I've seen on TV. The severity of this is far far worse than any this country has seen in such a long time.

As I found out,this could be something that happened out of political struggle between two rival clans in politics. As as a convoy was passing through an area to support someone who is filing for candidacy,they were intervened by people who will later become their killers. But along the way a lot of innocent people fell victims to this manslaughter, including a businessman going through the same way on a business meeting,human rights lawyers who were supporters, family, supporters friends and some people from the media..

This is a very sad phase in the history of Philippine Politics because for now, nothing is being done. People watch as day by day they see justice slipping away. What would become of us if something this grave will go as if someone is actually above the law? What will become of the next election? What will happen to people who are less fortunate when it comes to power and money but are blessed with the heart to help out their fellow countrymen? What will happen to the supporters who can't protect themselves against such barbaric acts? What will become of us?

This is a complete violation of law, not just those made my man but by any god of different religions, this has crossed each and every limit of morality, of humanity....

But this should not make Filipinos scared,this should make us mad against inhumanity done to us by people who abuse the power and position that we have given them..We put them there, therefore we can strip them of that power if we unite and search for truth and justice. We should not be blinded by fear, instead let this be a lesson to us and open our eyes as to what is really happening around us and realize that we deserve better than this. That we deserve to have political leaders that are willing to step up and fight for what is right. And we should not be scared of the hands who can afford to do this kind of evil.

This only goes to show as to the extent someone can go for their ambition and greed. We should should not feed these entities their source of power, life and position. I am so disgusted by this.

If the government is really keen on promoting peace, tourism, security against enemies from from outside the country and from within, if they want to open business opportunities and have investors have trust in our economy, if they really want decent people to have decent jobs, if they really want an education due to the youth, and to progress instead of thinking of personal/family power and wealth,their selfish political ambitions, and their great hunger for supremacy then now is the time to show us what they're really made of.

They look so good on their posters and on their TV ads that now it makes me wonder if they can actually deliver. Or are they just like some of these pretty women in magazines, so photoshoped and fake..

They should make Filipinos believe that justice still exist in this country. If this can happen to these people and the government will not intervene then it just goes to show that this can happen to anyone and that each and every Filipino is in danger of slaughter from these heartless,soulless demons. This is a barbaric if not demonic display of supremacy. This should not go unpunished.

For me, justice served to the victims and their loved ones is justice served to the whole Filipino community and the whole humanity.

An eye for an eye though is not the way to achieve justice..For me someone should be behind bars feeling the cold and emptiness of life,waiting for an end that seems like forever..It shall give them time to think things over and have them humbled by the people they think so little of. Make them feel how it is to be stripped of power and make them feel what they really are, not gods but filthy creatures who deserve nothing more than a cold long life behind bars...

May those who have departed rest in peace, may their loved ones find justice, may this country finally find its peace and may God have mercy on the souls of the people who did this, if that is even possible..

I am in Tagum now,in Davao del Norte..Visiting relatives and attending my friend's wedding tomorrow...It's been raining here for 2 days now but hopefully tomorrow it will be better..It better be coz on Sunday we plan on going to Samal Island and enjoy a day of fun in the sun.

ALL SAINT'S DAY and ALL SOUL'S DAY

I haven't written in a while... But today words are starting to rush. But I was already 4 paragraphs on when firefox crashed and I lost all of it so I had to do this over again. But once you stop writing when the words flow and then something happens, the words fade away.
So I'll try once more.. See what I can do.

So anyway, All Soul's Day and All Saint's Day came and I haven't been able to visit my son and grandma. I am still in Manila and they're in the province. Anyway, I'll get to visit them when I get home and I have all the time and space to myself. I like it quiet when i visit my loved ones. My grandpa's 3 brothers are also in the same cemetery. Quiet time with them,to think and talk to them.. Maybe I'll get a response. LOL! Who knows? I think nothing is impossible.


Anyway, it's been almost 20 years since my grandma died but I still miss her so much. She was very gentle and nice. Not just to her family but to everyone around her. Always helpful, she had caring hands. Sometimes it makes me wonder what life would have been for us if she didn't pass away so early. Things would have been better. I'm not complaining, just wondering what could have been.

I'll always remember her homemade ice cream. She cooked very well and made a lot of homemade goodies for us.She used to bribe that to me and my sister just to make us have our afternoon nap. Though most of the time we just end up fighting in the room and then chasing and hitting each other. It even came to a point where i pushed her down the stairs. She went halfway down the 12 steps and I spent an hour grounded in my room while everyone had snacks downstairs. That was the first and last time I got grounded. And an hour seemed like eternity. I promised to be good when they let me out. But I think it didn't even last 5 hours.

So anyway, back to my grandma... We still miss her and even if she passed away when I was very young. I have a very good memory of her. Seems like just yesterday when she used to take me to her class. I learned a lot from her. At a young age we already understood what love meant. That it wasn't just words that you say whenever you want to. Love is an action and feeling at the same time. It's time and space. It's nothing and everything.

Every occasion was alive because of her. Birthdays, Christmas, New Year.....You name it. No occasion was dull. I remember colorful Christmases and loud and bright New Years. And the last birthday cake I had when she was still alive. That was my happiest birthday. Nothing can top that.

She was the only person I can afford to have tantrums with... I could never do that to my grandpa or mom. But with her? I can do whatever I want and I know she'll still love me anyway. That was the security I felt with her. And that's something I really miss.

The knowledge that no matter what...No matter what happens,no matter what you do, no matter how many mistakes you do and even if all hell breaks loose, someone will be there, always be there to love you.

But we can't turn back time. And I can only hope there still exist such love.


And then after my grandma, a few years later came my son. I miss him and an awful lot. Not less and less each day. But I have accepted the fact that he's gone. And going on with life would be best. It's still very painful for me to talk about it.


I think if these two people did not became part of my life, it would have been less meaningful. And I wouldn't appreciate life as much as I do now. I would see everything less than what I see now. I am lucky to have had 2 angels come into my life to help mold the person that I am today. I guess I needed them to be there and not just be silent entities around.

For me, All Soul's Day should not be a day of grieving. Instead we should see it as a celebration of these people's lives and ours as well as they have affected us no matter how short we've been with them. For our lives would be so different if we never crossed paths with them. That it would mean less if they weren't there to make us think, or love, or hate, or cry. We should see it as a celebration of the days we still have alive...

Nanay, Intoy..... Wherever you are, I will always love you both and I will be forever grateful for having you in my life. 'Till I see you again..................... But like they say "Not too soon.."

SUNSETS

some of the beach sunset photos i love

BEACH PERSON:Who? Me? Not That much

There's one place I'm missing. The beach. Wonder when I can stay out in the sun with the sea breeze blowing against my sun kissed skin. When i can feel the sand on my feet. When I can smell the salty water. When I can see the richness underwater. When I can feel the water on my skin. When I can see the endless skies. When I can discover the deep waters. See those amazing sunsets, the children playing in the sand building sandcastles, the long nights, loud music, the cheers, the bright lights, the bonfires, smell of different foods, sound of different languages, different cultures.. Seeing old friends, meeting new ones.So much to discover

I have been inlove with these creatures for a very long time. And will remain inlove with them for all of my life...I took these photos while I was going around in Australia.Stopped for fish and chips and when I got out of the shop along came a truck with these lovely creatures at the back.Then when we went to Caluayan in Samar,we also saw one owned by the resort's owner.I just wish i was able to take a picture of an old friend's husky named Vodka,she's got all white fur and blue eyes,so beautiful..I am mesmerized, amazed, inlove...hooked.
