M - O - T - H - E - R

"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"

A word that means the world to me.

(Howard Johnson)


Happy Mother's Day!

Holy Week, Commuting and the Ro-Ro

It's that time of the year many Pinoy employees in the big city await, probably second only to Christmas. Well, many call it pasko too, referring to the "Pasko ng Pagkabuhay" or Feast of the Resurrection that culminates the Holy Week festivities in the Philippines. For the devout, it's a time of reflection for past sins committed or omitted, some even going to the extremes and nailing themselves to the cross. Personally, I don't agree with what these penitents do, for Christ died for our sins once and for all, right? There is no need to repeat what He was already Victorious for.

But if these activities are what these penitents BELIEVE could atone for their sins, then so be it. For what is more important is that they believe and are repenting of their sins -- while the hecklers and the know-it-all's throw all sorts of pun, criticisms, and what have you towards the penitents' way. But if you asked them what sort of "repentance" they have done for this Holy Week - a prayer maybe, or reconciliation with someone they have a grudge with, etc -- they would simply look you in the eye, smile, and say they don't have any "serious sin" to merit such penance.
