I didn't know how as a daughter should react and feel....somehow I felt dying as well.  I will never question God's will. Up to this moment, the only pray I say to Him is "Your will be done."  I don't have the right to question His plans and to ask for a lot of things. I know that He is  the Only One who knows what's best. But deep in my heart, I have a wish - I wish my Mom would see her first grandchild. I wish to give her that happiness - of seeing her first "apo". I wish that I could do more for my Mom. She has done the best for us. I wish I could take her pain while she's lying there fighting a good fight. I do pray for a miracle. I believe that nothing is impossible to God. He will answer our prayers. He listens to our wishes. I just pray that He will take good care of us. He will take good care of my Mom.

I feel hunted from its absence. Imagine this, I am not a morning person. 'Tis somewhat a tremendous effort to open my eyes each time the alarm interrupts my rest, rendering me useless. Seems the impending long gasps of my Husband's words whispering "we'll be late" for the nth time cracks me slowly towards reality - I need to get up. What more now that I'm pregnant, I must have been pulling a fight each morning with Paolo. Him, diligently waking me up and perhaps on the verge of leaving me pathetically alone to just sleep the day. Then wait for my memo from my Boss the next day. Sadly, I still am sleepy the entire day. And here's the crappiest part: I thought the answer to this problem is coffee. Guess what, coffee is forbidden most especially for the first trimester. How cruel is that? <img src="http://images.multiply.com/common/smiles/cry.png"> The mere idea of coffe... http://joyeee.multiply.com/journal/item/57/Coffee_Hunter...Hunted_ Tue, 17 Jun 2008 03:52:00 -0000 See you Soon, Daughtry! <a href="/photos/hi-res/upload/SCfv7woKCCcAAAfDGhU1"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.joyeee.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SCfv7woKCCcAAAfDGhU1/daughtry_by_clinch.jpg?et=KamFPS1pz9P4SR1g05ZevQ&nmid=&nmid=95620003" border="0"></a> Any Filipino who listened and loved their music will perhaps make an extra effort to be in one place come July 29.

Men cheat. Women cheat. But it has crossed my mind - there are a lot of forms/ways of cheating on relationships nowadays which made me wonder - is it just plain too corny to be faithful anymore? Totally uncool?!. I wanted to ask my male and female friends of certain scenarios if they consider it cheating: when in a relationship and still checking out other women's friendster sites/websites? or online flirting through chats? or checking out on women inside a bar and flirting?

This is addressed to Master Jay Javier. These people inspire us to use and develop film and enjoy it very much. The group of purist people worthy of merits to keep the rangefinders and (b&w) film photography alive! --- In toykamerapilipinas@yahoogroups.com, Nelson Chan wrote: Jay, What can I say? You're a genius!! You are an epitome of "it's not the arrow, it's the indian." I believe whatever gear/lens you use, you will churn out great pics time and again, in a level of consistency that is really mind boggling. You espouse the value of hard work, and the willingness to learn in order to achieve photographic greatness. Using the most expensive gears DO not make the user a great photographer, let alone a decent one. Funny, photography and golf have so much in common.

Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story. – Linda Hogan <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3208/2365958750_27e0fa606d_o.jpg" width="800" height="534" alt="6" /> Going back to Coron-Concepcion-Busuanga has always been in my mind. It cast a magic spell on me which somehow conjured my spirit to drift every now and then towards a paradise I have visited two years ago. Indeed unfathomable hunger for the warmth embrace of nature. A crave for Palawan. <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2019/2362776349_f340a0e39a_o.jpg" width="800" height="514" alt="divine glint " /> For eight days, we were in awe. Enamored. Enchanted. Engulfed in wonderful magical sunsets. Sayang lang, I should have brought the kit lens (the widest lens I have). But nevertheless, the 28-105mm and 50mm kept me still on-the-go. This was a memorable adventure. Still give me all the best reasons why I will always choose to go to Palawan over Boracay anytime the opportunity presents itself. <img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/descant24103/1-3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> Breathtaking rocks, islands, limestones. <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3153/2381762892_30eeed89f5_o.jpg" width="800" height="534" alt="29" /> Chirpy daily lives of Palawenians. <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3174/2378723553_fba14729f2_o.jpg" width="800" height="528" alt="21" /> Plus a safari adventure. <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2379/2380929677_3d999bbfbf_o.jpg" width="800" height="534" alt="33" /> Funny how o... http://joyeee.multiply.com/photos/album/40/Eight_Days_Of_Paradise_Coron-Busuanga_Travel_Exploits Wed, 2 Apr 2008 01:16:43 -0000 More Reasons to drink Coffee? From BBC news: Decaf coffee linked to heart risk Drinking decaffeinated coffee could increase the risk of heart disease, a study has suggested. It could lead to a rise in harmful cholesterol levels, the US National Institutes of Health study found. The finding comes as a Danish team reiterated that drinking eight or more cups of coffee a day while pregnant may double the risk of losing the baby. They advised pregnant women to drink no more than three cups of coffee a day, in line with existing UK advice. 'Health hazard' The US study looked at 187 people, a third of whom drank three to six cups of caffeinated coffee a day, while a second group drank the same amount of decaffeinated coffee, and the rest had no coffee. Researchers measured the level of caffeine in people's blood, as well as a number of heart-health indicators, including blood pressure, heart rate and cholesterol levels over the course of the three month study.     [The study] is not relevant for those who enjoy a c... http://joyeee.multiply.com/journal/item/53/More_Reasons_to_drink_Coffee_ Wed, 26 Mar 2008 10:51:27 -0000 Destination: Busuanga-Coron-Concepcion, Palawan Two years ago, I went to this paradise with just a point and shoot camera.

But I make them for myself first and foremost - that is important.” - Jacques-Henri Lartigue If mood swing could be captured in a photograph, then I perhaps just demonstrated on this trip lots of terrible emotions. And you will notice if I am not in the right mood I don't take a lot of pictures. <a href="http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/descant24103/?action=view&current=CRW_2471-Edit.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/descant24103/CRW_2471-Edit.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Ilocos of December 2007. Paolo reminded me of an old challenge: to capture the artistry of these three old places: Manila Bay, Intramuros, and Vigan. And I guess the idea was to discover your own magic in the most photographed places.

Even though the WGA (Writers Guild of America) strike has come to an end, we won't be seeing the remaining episodes of the second season which we are expecting supposedly this March.  <img style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" src="http://images.multiply.com/common/smiles/cry.png"> From Hercules of Ain'titcool.com news: "Today I got to spend 20 minutes with everyone's favorite cheerleader, Hayden Panettiere. She is promoting her new film FIREFLIES IN THE GARDEN. Anyway, she confirmed that even though the strike is over, Heroes is definitely done for the season. New shooting will not start until April which she will arrive a bit late for as she will be finishing up another film in Canada. So I guess we have to wait until at least September." The only good news is NBC made an announcement on the renewal of Season 3. Sadly, shooting starts in April and we will perhaps get to watch third season by September.
