ONE PERSON'S STORIES, MUMBLINGS, MUSINGS AND REFLECTIONS ABOUT LIFE AND WHAT TRULY MATTERS. Sunday, September 27, 2009. I woke up to a chilling news today. Typhoon (Ondoy) hit my home country (Philippines) in such rage and fury unequalled for the last several years. As of this writing, death toll is continually rising as rescuers began to reach submerged places, thousands more were rendered homeless and injured. Monday, September 14, 2009. Just Another Disposable Commodity. The overriding principle behin...

ONE PERSON'S STORIES, MUMBLINGS, MUSINGS AND REFLECTIONS ABOUT LIFE AND WHAT TRULY MATTERS. Thursday, July 24, 2008. No sooner than I started traversing the pavement to my right was I led to a beautiful scenic place that had me repeatedly muttering “ohh and ahh! Thursday, July 17, 2008. From whence comes my help. Where we live now, house help is mostly unheard of. Gone were the days when we can stay glued to bed all morning without worrying about our breakfast. Or watch tv or read book all day wi...Nonet...

Thinking Aloud: August 2008

ONE PERSON'S STORIES, MUMBLINGS, MUSINGS AND REFLECTIONS ABOUT LIFE AND WHAT TRULY MATTERS. Thursday, August 28, 2008. I received very sad news in a row this week – the death of the loved ones of two of my close friends. Judel’s father who is in his sixties was rushed to the hospital on Saturday night due to chest pain. In less than an hour, he succumbed to death due to massive heart failure. The deepest pain and the greatest burden are for those who are left behind. The pain of those who are in the ...

ONE PERSON'S STORIES, MUMBLINGS, MUSINGS AND REFLECTIONS ABOUT LIFE AND WHAT TRULY MATTERS. Monday, June 8, 2009. Of infidelity and dirty linens. From thoughts about faith, now my mind is preoccupied with thoughts about faithfulness or the lack of it. Especially in the context of marriage. And I know my husband is not going to cheat on me either (some ladies out there will say "i don't hold his mind so how can i be sure? But it was a different feeling when I heard that Jon and Kate Gosselin who both star...

ONE PERSON'S STORIES, MUMBLINGS, MUSINGS AND REFLECTIONS ABOUT LIFE AND WHAT TRULY MATTERS. Saturday, February 13, 2010. November 17, 2009. Hubby was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. Cancer of the nasopharynx, stage 3. I realized all along that I was living an illusion, that life is at the tip of my fingers. That things would always be beautiful. I have been living the most comfortable and near perfect life. I felt so blessed in every imaginable way then. And then she came into my life. Over th...

ONE PERSON'S STORIES, MUMBLINGS, MUSINGS AND REFLECTIONS ABOUT LIFE AND WHAT TRULY MATTERS. Friday, July 31, 2009. Yes, Virginia – I will always be a Filipino at heart. Today, I join the rest of the Filipino nation as it mourns the loss of former President Corazon Aquino, considered an icon of democracy, for sweeping away a dictator with a “people power” revolt. As if that was not enough, she sustained democracy by fighting off seven coup attempts in six years of her rule. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

ONE PERSON'S STORIES, MUMBLINGS, MUSINGS AND REFLECTIONS ABOUT LIFE AND WHAT TRULY MATTERS. Tuesday, March 31, 2009. The first time I saw her last summer - an old, frail-looking woman walking so slowly with a cane to brace her steps - my heart instantly went out to her. I thought to myself a woman this age should not be left alone. She had difficulty walking, each stride carefully taken else she would lose her balance. If it were not for her cane, she would definitely trip off. My daughter said she pitie...

Thinking Aloud: God in the midst of Suffering
http://melindatrinidad.blogspot.com/2009/10/calamities-one-after-other.html
ONE PERSON'S STORIES, MUMBLINGS, MUSINGS AND REFLECTIONS ABOUT LIFE AND WHAT TRULY MATTERS. Monday, October 5, 2009. God in the midst of Suffering. Calamities one after the other. People dying. Suffering and Poverty. Man's inhumanity against man. These have become part of our regular diet. These are not made-up stories in a horror flick, or magazine photos from faraway places. These are the grit and pain of life, upclose and very personal. If He loved his people, why didn't He spare them from suffering?
