M - O - T - H - E - R

"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"

A word that means the world to me.

(Howard Johnson)


Happy Mother's Day!

Valentine’s Gift Ideas? Send Flowers with an Added Twist

The modern world has become more competitive and more hectic than ever. People who can’t keep up would just be left behind, wondering at the sidelines of what could have been.  Still, despite this kind of lifestyle, well-meaning people would try not to miss out on special occasions and try to tell their loved ones how much they mean to them in whatever way that is available.

The online world has made it convenient for people to have this kind of arrangements. Flowers and other gifts can be sent online and to any other parts of the world.  People can look for reputable companies who can handle this and be able to deliver these high-quality gifts promptly and conveniently. 

The Essential Filipino: Discovering Dreams

 
THE ESSENTIAL FILIPINO
Discovering Dreams

A British journalist breezed into Manila with an assignment to write about ‘The Essential Filipino’. He smiled confidently over his easy assignment relishing the free tour as complementary reward.

For three days, he ran around searching. He rejected the business district of Makati, which reminded him of cold and calculating London. He went to historical places in Intramuros, but saw only a glimpse of the past and not the present.

A BLAST FROM THE PAST

A Philippine Independence Day Message from Peter Allan Mariano

(Photo courtesy of @LarryPConcepcion)

He stood along the shores of Kawit, looking across the calm waters of Manila Bay towards the capital, eagerly waiting for the torches of Luneta to go off. That would be his signal from Andres Bonifacio, the Supremo that the uprisings have started, and he in turn shall initiate the same action here in Cavite. Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo waited overnight for the signal. It never came.

Something must have gone wrong.
