my first love...

This morning I was able to plant some euphorbias on some small pots in our mini- garden(since our garden is just "mini" might as well use "small" pots^^)...We used to have a bigger space to plant trees and herbs but now we only have a very limited space....And I truly miss gardening....It was actually my first love.....I remember the time when I was really consumed in doing this activity that I won't mind not eating the whole day and the next day I got sick:).....Ofcourse now I won't do that anymore^_~"Bawal magkasakit!!!!"(Avoid getting sick because it costs too much being in the hospital nowadays)....Whatever we do it's better that we do them in moderation....although when we were younger we don't mind right?...but when we get older we do mind:).....

.I got a picture of a euphorbia on google images and I wanna share it with you^^(although I know you are already familiar with them esp. us Pinoys yet I just find the picture so attractive:).....and also I translated a poem of "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer in Tagalog....

Euphorbia millii Thai hybrid ES 3652 flowers

Mga Punungkahoy

Makakakita pa kaya ako
ng 'sang tulang 'singganda ng puno...
"Sang punong ang mga uhaw na ugat,
sa tamis na daloy ng tubig ay nakayakap.....

Puno na sa Diyos ay tumitingin
at itinataas ang mga dahon sa pananalangin,
Puno na kung sa tag-araw
ay napapalibutan ng mga ibong, wari'y umaapaw....

Sa kanyang sinapupuna'y lamig ay nahimlay,
binahaginan pa ng ulang walang humpay....
Mga tula'y nakakaya ng 'sang tulad kong dukha
ngunit Diyos lamang, ang sa puno'y makagagawa....

Lovely trees

TREES

by: Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918)

• 
  

  THINK that I shall never see

  A poem lovely as a tree.

  A tree whose hungry mouth is prest

  Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;

  A tree that looks at God all day,

  And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

  A tree that may in Summer wear

  A nest of robins in her hair;

  Upon whose bosom snow has lain;

  Who intimately lives with rain.

  Poems are made by fools like me,

  But only God can make a tree.

  
  

trust the heart...

Our Hearts’ Desires

So brand new to begin,

My heart’s desires are simply true

Hoping we’re not asking too much

Coz we’re in love, we care a lot……

Oh it’s not easy to fall in love

Your heart is aching, desires are breaking

Things are hard and don’t meet halfway

And so we chose to break away…….

Now we have new plans for the future

I chose my way, you chose your way

Until the end, our hearts’ desires,

Will set us free…….

Dedicated to all the lovers out there, the brokenhearted, the separated, and even to those who have mended their broken hearts…..

A Beautiful Song for Mary and Jesus

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
That your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered
Will soon deliver you

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will calm a storm with His hand?
Did you know
That your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little baby
You've kissed the face of God

Mary, did you know?
The blind will see
The deaf will hear
And the dead will live again
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
The praises of the Lamb

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will one day rule the nations?
Did you know
That your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding
Is the Great I Am

Oh Mary did you know?

Watch and Pray...

Jesus wants us to watch and pray with Him and fight temptations.....

let's do something for mother earth...

In less than half an hour we'll be celebrating Earth Hour...Yes we must save energy for the sake of our planet...We must save Mother Earth...In our own country we are experiencing El Nino....We can see the economic, social, environmental effects of El Nino... Some would suffer from heat strokes and other health problems, damage to agriculture and food shortages, unemployment, domestic water shortages, even fish kills are hitting us and a lot more.... This must be the reason too why there are so many vehicular accidents nowadays....Drivers are becoming impatient, irritable because of the hot weather....Yes, we almost had an accident this afternoon and I blame it on the weather somehow.....It is the heat that had made the drivers irritable....and I pity the drivers who would be on the road everyday and would have to stand the heat for so many hours....and yet the weather in turn  if she could only speak would probably tell us....Well you don't have to blame me....you must do something in order to save our planet from experiencing climate change or global warming and other environmental problems......

Remembering Mrs. Dorado...

Some old students of mine would visit me in school every now and then.... It's somehow "nakakataba ng puso"or heartwarming..... I regret the time when I was just a student and I never had the chance to visit my former teachers....It was really "bad of me"I guess....but ofcourse I always thought of my former teachers then as my second parents....who had taught me a lot of things, like my whole being was formed from all the variety of things I learned from them, mentally, emotionally, spiritually....

I won't forget Mrs. Dorado my teacher in Grade 1....coz she was my teacher in Grade 2 as well....She was able to follow my improvement for 2 years....She was also the one who took me in after being rejected^^from a former teacher when I was just starting out in school^^(although I think that I deserved to be rejected^_~) ....That's how it feels when you are accepted for what you are, even learning the most difficult things in life becomes easier when people believe in you....at that age I was just around six to seven years old yet I knew how it feels to be loved and be accepted already.....

I'd like to believe also that I had somehow built self confidence in my students just like the late Mrs. Dorado....Things become a lot easier to all of us no matter what undertakings we have in life if we let other people and our own students believe in themselves....

just so to inspire you today...

Now and then it's important to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy

and we all know that Jesus is the best friend that we could really trust....
