More Feeding Pics

We never expect to "feed" Ma'am Rexy that day. She was looking for a tuo-turo to buy lunch, good enough, Gerald and Joey just finished cooking. We had Beowulf as "dessert." Oh, the good old days...

Ning was out trying to coax JM to join the pictorial. Sukat gusto magpa extra na - upstage siya san mga ninong hehe.

We'll be back soon, my dear lolos and lolas.

My recent visit to OLPS

With my kids, getting ready for a ride to OLPS which is a few meters away from our home. Our eldest, Mai-mai, is down with chicken pox and is quarantined at her grandparents' home in OLV Bibincahan.

This was taken under the coconut tree. At the background is the OLPS Chapel.

"If you can't be a highway, be a trail"

"When you discover what you will be in your life, set out to do it as if God Almighty called you at this particular moment in history to do it. Don't just set out to do a good job. Set out to do such a good job that the living, the dead or the unborn couldn't do it any better.
If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, sweep streets like Beethoven composed music, sweep streets like Leontyne Price sings before the Metropolitan Opera. Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say: Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well. If you can't be a pine at the top of the hill, be a shrub in the valley. Be the best little shrub on the side of the hill.
Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a highway, just be a trail. If you can't be a sun, be a star. For it isn't by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are."
Martin Luther King, Jr. to students in Philadelphia, 1967

Remember When

Piot, Sorsogon rocked that January 2003 night, not because of the band across the pond, but because a motley crowd of rascals yelled, whistled and heckled with displeasure and dismay at a rather pretentious hard rock music in the air? "An chit na? Chit na?," nervously asked Fr. Henry whose name was at stake as a newly ordained priest. Have we really changed?
