Tamang pagpili ng Ninong at Ninang!

Nakakatuwa kapag kasalan o binyagan.Ninong at Ninang, madalas kinukuha, ung "Sikat,Politicians (Sikat!) , OFW (me dolyares e!)...at the end of the day, ni isang Ninong & Ninang walang nakaalala sa Inaanak nila. WHy? E hindi mo naman kc personal na kakilala sukat kunin mo Ninong-NInang ng anak mo o sa Kasal mo! Sa dame ng inaanak nila d ka na nila matatandaan! Kapag nagbless ka magpapakilala ka pa ng buong angkan mo at ninuno bago ka makilala.Kapag minamalas ka pa, naubos na paliwanag mo d ka pa rin nakikilala! hahaha! Minsan, kaibigan nung kamag-anak , kumpare nung ganito ganyan, e bakit ba kasi hindi hayaang yung ikakasal ang mamili ng Ninong at Ninang nila na sa palagay nila e makakatulong at magiging magulang nila na maaring hingan ng payo kapag may problema. O kaya naman kukuha ng isang tambak na Ninong at Ninang para makabawi sa gastusin sa binyagan sa bonggang hotel o restaurant , Negosyo ba anak nyo? Ano yan damit na binibenta tapos may tawaran, magagalit kapag maliit ibinigay ng Ninong at Ninang, pero mostly kukunin mapepera na naman! hahahah!

Hindi lang yung kasikatan at pera ang basehan para kunin mong sponsor yung tao. Natawa ako ng minsan, tumawag ang Nanay Baby ko, kinukuhang Ninong daw ang anak ko si Noah w/c is 7years old lang that time. Una kong reaction, normal ba yang kumukuhang sponsor sa anak ko? Pakisabe nalang po Nay hindi ko pinapayagan ang anak ko maging NINONG sa edad nyang yan hanggat hindi nya nauunawaan ang ibig sabihin ng NINON o pangalawang magulang sa magiging inaanak nya. Para sa akin sagrado ang pagiging Ninong at Ninang, sabe ko sa Nanay para hindi nakakahiya sa kumukuha, kung gugustuhin nila ako na lang kamo ang kuning Ninang ng bata, dahil kalokohang malaki ang kunin mong Ninong e walang muwang sa takbo ng buhay at inosente din na katulad ng inaanak. I mean, tatayo kang pangalawang magulang, ano ang pwede mong ituro sa inaanak mo, na ikabubuti nya, kung ikaw mismo ay walang nauunawaaan sa buhay.

Nung ikinasal ako may mga Ninong at Ninang kami na hindi namin gaano kilala sadya, O maybe ako hindi ko masyado kilala, as a bride & groom normally hati ang pagpili ng Ninong at Ninang, buti nalang yung mga taga Sta. Brigida na Ninong at Ninang namin ay naging masugid na pangalawang magulang namin. Nakakahiya nga lamang minsan at hindi ko matandaan ang pangalan! (buti nalang d pa uso ang internet sa mga Ninang/Ninong!) hahaha! Meron din naman na sadyang nagprinsintang Ninong at Ninang namin, and I must say na naging karamay ko sila noong panahon na kailangan ko ng kaagapay na magulang and even until now, nandyan pa rin sila para sa anak namin bilang mga Lolo at Lola. Natural meron din namang, "meron" , na hindi ko alam kung ipagmamalaki ko o hindi, pero siguro mas mainam na hindi! Yung respeto ko nalang siguro bilang inaanak nila, kahit may kapalpakan nga daw e huwag na sa akin magmula ang pagsigaw sa publiko! May tamang paraan, tamang pagkakataon at tamang lugar para pag-usapan kung anuman ang mga bagay-bagay na dapat nilang malaman.

Binyag ng anak ko, nakakatuwang malungkot. Masaya dahil binyag nya at magiging ganap na syang kristyano, malungkot dahil magkahiwalay na ang mga magulang nya that time yet we still manage to be there for him. I like the selections of my Noah's Ninong & Ninang. Well, of course may mga special request as usual. But most of them, totoong KAIBIGAN KO, like Ninang Janai at Ninong Raffy ni Noah, mga kaklase ko pa nung grade school. Ninong Raffy nya kada uwi from Batangas hindi pwedeng hindi nya dadalawin si Noah at lalaruin gang makatulog na sa kanya sad lang at maagang sumama kay Lord ang Ninong Raffy nya. Ang Ninang Janai naman kahit lokaret daw sa labas, kapag kailangan ko ng kaibigang makikinig, nanjan lage yan matyagang makinigg at magpayo. (matino naman ang payo) Kaya love ko yan si Mareng Janai! hahaha! Pareng Darwin syempre fav Ninong ni Noah ngayon dahil sya ang nasa Del Mundo lagi, at nakikita . Ay naku, e wala na nga palang Ninong halos si Noah, at nakay Lord na lahat, ay ano ba naman yun!Kaya ang pareng Dharz nalang nga talaga ang fav, ahahhaha! Ang Ninong Darwin naman nya, kinuha kong personal na maging Ninong dahil kaibigan sya ng Kuya George ko at kilala kong mabuting tao, laking simbahan, at higit sa lahat a good provider ng pamilya nila, kaya alam ko kapag may kailangan si Noah na tatakbuhang pangalawang magulang, nanjan ang Ninong nya. I'm really thankful for that kay Pareng Dharz dahil naalalayan nya si Noah ng pangaral kahit papaano lalo na at wala kami sa tabi nya. Ninong Kirby nya nasa Cavite naman, huwag sana turuan mambabae si Noah! At ang aking Mahal na Midwife syempre si Mareng Mel, at si Kuya Toto na lagi din kinukuha si Noah sa bahay para alagaan at hanggang ngayon ang Ninang Mel nya ang tinatakbuhan kapag may sakit si Noah, lalo na noong nasa medicare na nagkasakit si Noah. Si Ate Mercy family friend namin, asawa ni Kuya Lauro, na lasenggo! hahaha! Pero wag nyo smolin si Kuya Lauro , malaki respeto nyan sa pamilya namin, at si Ate Merz na Mahal na mahal ko syempre, loyalista yan e.hahaha! At kahit katayin mo yan hindi yan babaliktad sa pamilya ko, ipagtatanggol at ipagtatanggol nya ako, ganyan ako kamahal ni Ate Merz , pag-iyak ko iyak din sya, bantay sya gang nanganak ako nasa tabi ko sya, kapag may hapon dinadalaw nya si Noah para icheck at hihilutin baka may bali. Nakakatuwa isipin, na hindi pera ang kelangan mo para kunin ang isang tao, dahil ang pera pwede mo pagtrabahuhan yan, pero ung totoong pagmamahal at pagmamalasakit hindi mo kayang bayaran ng pera yan! Karamihan naman sa Ninong ni Noah, kaibigan talaga ng pamilya namin at even Mama Gladz nya w/c is obviously Auntie nya, or ang Nanay Inday (Ate Irene) eldest sister ng Daddy Jojo nya, Ate Vanie cousin naman namin. Si Ninang Chie Villar naman parang kapamilya na din namin dahil ang Tatay naman nya ay bestfriend ng parents ko, at hanggang ngayon nanjan sila nakaalalay kay Noah at kay Nanay Baby!
Kalamangan sa resulta ng Ninong at Ninang ni Noah at sa kasal namin mas lamang naman ang maganda kesa palpak. Dahil karamihan sa Ninong at Ninang namin nanjan palagi para patuloy kaming gabayan at alalayan. Even yung hindi namin masyadong kilalang Ninong at Ninang nung una, nagulat pa ako ng burol ng Papa ko, nagsidatingan sila para damayan ako. Kaya yung Sta. Brigida parang extension ng bahay namin, 2nd home kung tawagin ko dahil nung nandun kami sa bahay ni Ate Irene, naging malapit din ako sa kanila, very friendly at matulungin din naman kc ang mga taga duon. Biruin mo ng dinugo ako, isang jeep sila sumugod sa Del Mundo sa pag-aalala saken! hahaha! Ganyan ako kamahal ng Taga Sta. Brigida, makapagpaampon kaya sa kanila? ahahha!
Kaya kayo kapag kukuha kayo ng Ninong at Ninang, make sure na kakilala nyo talaga at sigurado kayo na magiging pangalawang magulang sila sa anak ninyo. Ang dame ko na din inaanak, and to be honest nakakalungkot na hindi mo magampanan yung responsibilidad sa kanila bilang pangalawang magulang. Una malayo ako sa kanila, yung iba nawalan ng communication saken, but as much as I can yung alam kong pwede ko mareach out , I want to try to be a there for them at least once in a while. Bilang mga pangalawang magulang naman , sana magampanan din natin kahit papaano ang obligasyon sa kanila, hindi sa regalo, hindi sa pera, yung moral at pagmamahal, pagmamalasakit ang mahalaga! Hindi porket politician kelangan kunin nyo ng Ninong o Ninang, o porket nasa abroad dapat yun dahil mapera. Mas masarap yung alam mong nanjan sila dahil nagmamalasakit silang totoo at alam mong alalayan ka nila sa tamang daan.

MABALACAT, Pampanga, Philippines—The head of a call center agent murdered in a motel room in Angeles City last week was found beside a creek in Sta. Inez village here on Saturday.

Senior Superintendent Danilo Bautista, Angeles police director, said the head of Katrina Gantan, 22, who worked at the Sutherland Global Services Philippines inside the Clark Freeport, was found by residents inside a sack left under the Morales Bridge.

Bautista said residents noticed the stench coming from the sack teeming with flies at a grassy portion of the bank of the Sapang Balen creek at 11:20 a.m. When they opened the sack, they were shocked to see a woman's head inside.

On October 4, policemen arrested Adonis Reyes, 30, Gantan's boyfriend and co-worker for his alleged involvement in the murder. Employees of Miyabe Court in Angeles said Reyes matched the description of Gantan's companion when they checked into the motel on the night of October 1. Gantan was found headless and naked inside a toilet in the motel the following day.

Gantan's parents said the artist's sketch provided by the police resembled Reyes' features. Reyes, however, denied involvement in Gantan's murder.

Bob Seger Wait For Me



I will answer the wind
I will leave with the tide
I'll be out on the road
Every chance I can ride

No matter how far
No matter how free
I'll be alone
If you'll wait for me

There'll be times when I'll rise
There'll be times when I'll fall
There'll be times when its best to say nothing at all

Knowing you're right
Letting it be
I'll be around
If you'll wait for me
If you'll wait for me

Martina McBride & Bob Seger - Chances Are



Chances are you'll find me
Somewhere on your road tonight
Seems I always end up driving by
Ever since I've known you
It seems you're on my way

All the rules of logic don't apply
I long to see you in the night
Be with you 'til morning light

I remember clearly how you looked
The night we met
I recall your laughter and your smile
I remember how you made me
Feel so at ease
I remember all your grace and your style

And now you're all I long to see
You've come to mean so much to me

Chances are I'll see you
In my dreams tonight
You'll be smiling like the night we met
Chances are I'll hold you and I'll offer
All I have

You're the only one I can't forget
Baby you're the best I've evermet

And I'll be dreaming of the future
And hoping you'll be by my side
And in the morning I'll be longing for the night
For the night

Chances are I'll see you
Somewhere in my dreams tonight
You'll be smiling like the night we met
Chances are I'll hold you and I'll offer
All I have

You're the only one I can't forget
Baby you're the best I've ever met

Martina McBride - How Far (LIVE)

HOW FAR - Lyric http://www.martina-mcbride.com

There's a boat, I could sail away
There's the sky, I could catch a plane
There's a train, there's the tracks
I could leave and I could choose to not come back
Oh never come back

There you are, giving up the fight
Here I am begging you to try
Talk to me, let me in
But you just put your wall back up again
Oh when's it gonna end

(Chorus:)
How far do I have to go to make you understand
I wanna make this work so much it hurts, but I just can't
Keep on giving, go on living with the way things are
So I'm gonna walk away
And it's up to you to say how far

There's a chance I could change my mind
But I won't, not till you decide
What you want, what you need
Do you even care if I stay or leave
Oh, what's it gonna be

(Chorus)

Out of this chair, or just across the room
Halfway down the block or halfway to the moon

How far do I have to go to make you understand
I wanna make this work so much it hurts, but I just can't
Keep on giving, go on living with the way things are
So I'm gonna walk away
And it's up to you to say
Yeah I'm gonna walk away
And it's up to you to say how far

Go the Distance - Michael Bolton




I have often dreamed, of a far off place
Where a hero’s welcome, would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer, when they see my face
And a voice keeps saying, this is where I’m meant to be
I’ll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way, if I can be strong
I know ev’ry mile, will be worth my while
When I go the distance, I’ll be right where I belong
Down an unknown road, to embrace my fate
Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you
And a thousand years, would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime, but somehow I’ll see it through
And I won’t look back, I can go the distance
And I’ll stay on track, no, I won’t accept defeat
It’s an uphill slope, but I won’t lose hope
Till I go the distance, and my journey is complete
But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero’s strength is measured by his heart
Like a shooting star, I will go the distance
I will search the world, I will face its’ harms
I don’t care how far, I can go the distance
Till I find my hero’s welcome, waiting in your arms
I will search the world, I will face it’s harms
Till I find my hero’s welcome, waiting in your arms

Caregiver caught on cam abusing Filipino lola By Don Tagala

ABS-CBN North America News Bureau Posted at 10/07/2010 1:02 PM |




JERSEY CITY, NJ – A shocking video of a caregiver caught on camera physically assaulting a 91-year-old Filipino woman in her home in Jersey City, New Jersey made headlines when it was posted online.

Catalina Obaldo was slapped, smacked in the head, pushed and thrown around like a ragdoll. Food was forced into her mouth and her hair pulled by her caregiver, Carmen Pereira.

Pereira, of Loving Care Agency, had looked after Obaldo for 11 years.

The defenseless woman is suffering from various health ailments, including Alzheimer’s disease.

Local news reports say that Obaldo’s family set up a webcam to check on their Lola at any given time, but when suspicious bruises appeared on her, they started recording it.

The family could not believe what the webcam captured.

In a YouTube video, Obaldo’s daughter Bernardina Samin said, “I’m furious! It’s heartbreaking to see your own mother abused by a person whom you trusted for so many years.”

The family wanted the video released by the police to serve as a warning for others

Once the video was posted on online, some upset YouTubers immediately uploaded their video reactions.

Archie Masibay of Brentwood, California said, “You’re not supposed to do that to someone, imagine you when you get old, being tossed around like that and being banged in the head or being slapped, it’s just not right, I mean you’re working as a caregiver so you have to take care of your patients not abuse them.”

In San Francisco, Yoko Kurotani said, “It was really heartbreaking because I was thinking of my grandma…”

Pereira, the 52-year-old home health aide, was arrested by New Jersey Police around the same time she was fired from her job in September.

The Loving Care Agency’s spokesman Abe Kasbo issued a statement to Balitang America via email.

The statement read: “Loving Care Agency recognizes the gravity of this situation and wishes to convey its unequivocal position that this action committed by its former employee is reprehensible, unacceptable, and has resulted in the immediate termination of the employee.”

New Jersey Police said Pereira was charged with aggravated assault with extreme indifference, endangering the welfare of an incompetent person and neglect of an elderly. Police also said Pereira is now out on bail and is not clear yet when she will be arraigned.

The family has told authorities that they have the situation under control now with their Lola.

Balitang America is still trying to get in touch with the family with the help of Philippine Forum of Jersey City.

Likewise, Balitang America also tried to speak to Loving Care Agency but they did not provide any additional information and refused to talk about the case in person. Balitang America
