my Acknowledgments February 8, 2008

It’s not my birthday, I am fully aware of it…I did not get a promotion or even an increase for that matter.  Winning an award is way way out [hahaha] Or maybe the fact that I was so bored a while ago? Nah! Definitely not…  Well, maybe I just decided, period. 

My “ACKNOWLEDGMENTS”

O God! I’ve never been so grateful in my life.

-You- have brought me up from the lowest of low.  For having all the tomorrows, this I am appreciative, obliged, indebted… thankful in the simplest word I can think of.  Firstly, for the visible angels that -You- sent.  

 - My parents- for being “the parents”, no need to elaborate; Gracias! My sincere love for both of you.-

 - My siblings by birth, by heart and by name – Ate Elay and Davy, Kuya Mike, Joyce, Ina and Paula.  What a rollercoaster ride we all have.

- My Life Coaches – Connie, Marita, Yvette, Luz, & Cathy… eventhough we are literally miles apart, you all have a place in my heart.  And to Yumi, for keeping up with me, all the patience, love and understanding.  For being with me and for me all the way.

 - My love one’s by blood – for all it’s worth, you all inspired and helped me make it thru and kept my feet on the ground.

- My dear friends - whom were too many to mention… with that I am happy that you were too many.

- My friends - in all walks of my life, new one’s or old one’s… looking forward for many times to share.

- My 430am prayer partners - with the calmness of your voices you make me feel holy.  If only I have the means to know you personally. 

And - My lucky 8 - you know the  beats of my heart.   

Secondly my invisible angels, - Papa Tino & Mama Emma – my silent witness of those times.  What an extraordinaire grandparents.  We do miss you. 

And I would humbly like to acknowledge  -mySelf-, for being willing to move on from the fear, denial, confusion and anger to the very person I am right now. 

Gracias!

baby mishlek asked GOD December 13, 2007

[ A day before my birthday ]

A baby asked God, “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?” “Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.”The child further inquired, “But tell me, here in heaven I don’t have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.”God said, “Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel’s love and be very happy.”Again the baby asked, “And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don’t know the language?”God said, “Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.”“And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?”God said, “Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.”“Who will protect me?”God said, “Your angel will defend you even if it means risking it’s life.”“But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.”God said, “Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you.”At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, “God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel’s name.”“You will simply call her, ‘Mom.’”

35 years ago, [whoaa that's almost forever years!] I did first met my Mom.  I vaguely remember if I did say “Hi!”  I should have, right? hahahha All I know is she was crying, I thought I did hurt her and make her sad.  Way to go Mishlek! you’re really good on first day thing. I didnt said a word, i just keep on looking at her as she keeps on looking at me. God said she’s my Angel Mom right? she does look pretty, with those pointed nose and brown eyes, she is a pretty site.  I just hope she’ll stop crying.  After a while, she smiled back at me and said Hi! – - – hmm, grown-ups back then really was confusing.  So I guess she was just HAPPY to see me after all.
