"Unaffected"

With eyes self trained to shut,
Held closed umbrella in my hand,
Rain seeping into my lap,
Looking for a pail to catch,
That pouring water
Of a stormy weather's wrath...

"All those Things that Don't Change Come What May"

FOUR STRONG WINDS by Neil Young

Think I'll go out to Alberta
Weather's good there in the fall
I got some friends that I could go to working for.
Still I wish you'd change your mind
If I ask you one more time
But we've been through this a hundred times or more.

Chorus: Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change come what may.
If all the good times are all gone
Then I'm bound for movin' on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.


If I get there before the snow flies
And if things are lookin' good
You could meet me if I send you down the fare.
But, by then it would be winter
Not too much for you to do
And those winds sure can blow cold 'way out there.

Chorus: Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change come what may.
If all the good times are all gone
Then I'm bound for movin' on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.

PATAR beach in Bolinao, Pangasinan, where strong winds blow briskly into your face and into your nose. A place where no change can be seen come what may...I love the status quo especially in this heavenly place. Can't have enough of it really. It's always in my mind, and in my imagination although I'm a million, correction, thousands of miles away. The Phil. paradise that I've kept dreaming of :) Ahhh, lazily walking over your dainty white sands is a joy like no other...and listening to your whispering waves while they wind their way up kissing the shore is no sadness at all. It brings pure peace and happiness into my heart and soul..."wake up! me," laughs.

Memories Are Made of These

I'm not a picture lover person so I only have a few. I prefer the ugly but with a golden heart than the opposite. But here are a few of my favorites given to relatives and friends in the past for I may have liked and loved them that's why... J.C. and Tito don't want theirs posted, I asked.

A queen for a night at age nine...the solo, age 26, is Tito's favorite... first ever Phil. vacation with my sis and my fav pup then :) the last is my all time favorite, with Michael my special boy besides the Virgin Mary, taken April 2005 during our Phil. vacation...:)

Welcome 2007!!!

THANKS to all who've been a part of my life in 2006! It was a good year, strange but nevertheless not bad at all :) Meet some very nice people that had helped me in some positive ways, rather mysteriously at that. I can't thank them enough. My ever adoring and always there family, the best gift I ever had this Christmas :)

So another year, another page to turn. Hope I will have as many of these pages in my horizon for who knows really, any seconds it can be torn apart, taken away without notice at that. Life is given as a gift, but a gift that won't forever last.

I started to record my thoughts this past year. Thanks to "YOU" who had suggested that a very long long time ago :) ... Now I knew that it can be a very uplifting and quite an enjoyable experience. Again, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!! and ALL THE VERY BEST!!!
