perpetual help, always...

 

"ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened" inspiring when hope is at a bind. thanks our holy mother :) years and years ago after your image that was cut off from a calendar was put on a wall where i slept in our old sawali house in the province, i had never forgotten whom to ask, where to seek and where to knock. people mocked you and persecute you for your religion but they will never know first hand how your life was transformed because of your belief and faith in God. it worked, and it will always work perpetually, thus the name...(^&*)... i took this mother of perpetual help image at our parish church, our lady of Fatima :) when hope is failing and during trying times, humans are reminded of the presence of the all too powerful to bail us out in our predicament. it worked for me then and now so i am sure that it will also work to those who ask, seek and knock...

and speaking of colors...yellow, the color of the sun, our holy mother's picture frame here :) plus the color of gold and also the color of ribbons to tie in your old oak tree if you're hoping a love one to come back to you if they still love you :) dress in yellow? i've never done that for years and years now for it is not my color ;) yellow dress, no... yellow flower, yes :>

music may or may not define us. each of us in each generations that we live we pick up these wonderfully crafted musical compositions at that given moment of that time frame when we lived. easy listening, or just plain nothing sound syllables or noise making notes. i think our preferences of melodies we also take them as we grow old. music is important but it is just one of the many so called decorations of life that enhances the way we live, nothing more nothing less. but it would be better if your mate and you have the same taste in music for it will bring a much more harmonious relationship between the two of you :) the young swoon by their choices of music. the old probably just let it go for they've heard it all before. and the in betweens maybe will take a little pause to hear the melodies but will go on throdding with their lives... and me? i've heard enough but still i want to hear some nice music pieces every now and then. the sounds of nature is much more music to my ears. the sound of the hawaiian forest, the sound of the gently rolling waves of the beach. these are the true music that i would really want to hear over and over again. but again who cares ;)

politics makes you gray. president obama is not immune. it is a very stressful job. our president belongs to my generation :) wow, when will my gray hair will come too? at the moment they are far in between. maybe i am just lucky because michael has some gray hair popping out now. so coloring my hair will be postponed for awhile, this if i decide to go that route, who knows...(^&*)... only the future will tell... yes, young as you may today, you will be in the shoes of the old as the years roll by, as the ebbs of tides come and go... but since you're not there yet, enjoy the view, be nice to the old for you will be them in just a matter of time... wisely said? no, it is just the reality of our short life span on earth... for how we treat our elders speaks volume on who we are as a person...
