PURPOSE: This blog serves as my personal journal and album as well. A collection of inspirational articles, my own compositions as well as those borrowed from other minds. Included herein are the inspirational videos, photographs of my own family and various pictures personally taken.

INSPIRATION: Someday when I ‘m gone I hope this blog would still be around to constantly remind my own children what sort of a Father they had. That these are the sort of stories I liked. That this is the way how I think, i.e., through my own articles. That they are very precious to me. That this is the epitaph I wanted to be written in my tomb. That these are the sort of things they should do during my 7 days novena when I’m already dead, e.g., the prayers I wanted to be recited during my wake. So on and so forth… (Many of these things are still to be written)

POEM COMPOSED BY NINOY FOR CORY

I Have Fallen In Love

 I have fallen in love
 With the same woman three times
 In a day spanning nineteen years
 Of tearful joys and joyful tears.
 I loved her first when she was young
 Enchanting and vibrant, eternally new
 She was brilliant, fragrant and cool
 As the morning dew.
 I fell in love with her the second time
 When first she bore her child and mine
 Always by my side, the source of my strength
 Helping to turn the tide.
 But there were candles to burn
 The world was my concern
 While our home was her domain
 And the people were mine
 While the children were hers to maintain.
 So it was in those eighteen years and a day
 Till I was detained
 Forced in prison to stay.
 Suddenly she’s our sole support
 Source of comfort
 Our wellspring of hope
 On her shoulders fell the burden of life.
 I fell in love again
 With the same woman the third time
 Looming from the battle
 Her courage will never fade.
 Amidst the hardships she has remained
 Undaunted and unafraid
 She is calm, composed
 She is God’s lovely maid.
