Making Memories On My Own!

The other week, I started my first Special Sunday where I combine my and in one post.


I missed it last Sunday since I opted to rest my colds...

Today, I want to make it official, every Sunday here will be a celebration of life through sunset and sunrise...in different forms!

Below is just one of the many facets of Mariposa's life...

The writer in her...

The ironies in her life...

The fond memories she gathers from the magic of her imagination...

As the last rays of sunset lingers
a moment over the silent fields...

As it slowly surrenders into
the oblivion of the night...

I find myself humming softly
not to some melody

but of something else...
some place else,

a place remembered...
some moment reminisced;

eternal fields of green
where no one else has been

and the memory is strengthened
by the feeling of you,
with me dancing in your arms.

Ah, memories with you always feels good,
even those which I have only imagined!

Attitude of Gratitude

God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today.
Have you used one to say "thank you?"
-William A. Ward

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything,
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
present your request to God.
- Philippians 4:6

Years back, I used to have so many wishful thoughts! I wished I was somebody else...somewhere else...something else. It took several miracles and that one special moment in my life to realize how blessed I am. Now, with God's grace I wake up every day with a prayer of praise in my heart. Truly, there are so many reasons to be grateful for...and that an attitude of gratitude can certainly put meaning into one's life.

Each day offers us an opportunity to learn that just as we are blessed when we give, so are we when we accept grace with a grateful heart.

Be inspired with God's loving gifts, come join us at Word Filled Wednesday!

Some TMIs...

Before I start with my TMI...let me first send out my warmest THANK YOU to all you participated Fun Monday this week. I really had fun reading your entries...they were both entertaining...and inspiring!

Anyone who want to host Fun Monday next week, please let me know so I can make an announcement here...or I end up giving a more challenging theme next week! LOL

Seriously...just drop me a comment or a mail!


1. What is your favorite Thanksgiving food?

First, we don't really celebrate Thanksgiving in the Philippines the way US and Canada and maybe other countries do. Though there were attempts of declaring some dates as such, it did not happen at all. I guess this is due to the fact that as an archipelago we are clustered as regions and each regions/ provinces celebrate several feasts (both Christians and Muslims do have their own festivities) and they are in a form of thanksgiving. Also, I personally believe that the way we celebrate Christmas here is more or less like Thanksgiving...

Most of our festivities here (Muslim occasion an exception!) is not complete without the LECHON (roasted pig).




2. You can flip a switch that will wipe any band or musical artist out of existence. Which one will it be?

Okay, don't kill me, but maybe I will wipe out boy bands! LOL

3. You seem to be having an excellent day because you just came across a hundred-dollar bill on the sidewalk. Holy crap, a hundred bucks! How are you gonna spend it?

I will save it for my outreach program for children.

4. What is your favorite curse word?

Actually word and words...

I used to say...

F.U.C.K

and

F.u.c.k.i.n.g Unbelievable!

Though lately, it's been very rare...if it comes out from my mouth at all!
Mom keeps telling me what comes out from my mouth is what's in my heart, so I'm trying to stay away from it!

So...now, if I do curse...I say...

Freak...or Freaking...something!

Who am I kidding...at least, it's a different word!

5. Rufus appears out of nowhere with a time-traveling phone booth. You can go anytime in the PAST. What time are you traveling to and what are you going to do when you get there?

Wow, this is tough. Not really sure if there is that particular time I'd like to go to or return to.

Bonus (as in optional):You accidentally eat some radioactive vegetables. They were good, and what's even cooler is that they endow you with the super-power of your choice! What's it gonna be?


The ability to teleport!

Ha, imagine me visiting you every time I hit publish on your comment box! ;)

That would be cool huh?!
