Hi!
I’m Rod from the Philippines. Surely you missed our country, don’t you?
In my small way,I can bring a bit of Her to you through this:
http://doroastig.blogs.friendster.com/my_blog/ or this:
http://pointstowonder.tk/ Sana’y mababawasan ng kahit konti man lang
ang inyong pangungulila sa pamamagitan nito. Maaari din po kayong
mag-iwan ng komento. Maraming salamat at MABUHAY!

hi rod,
nice of you to send a note,salamat…
we
see to it that we go home at least every other year.i want my only
child to her roots.GOD’S willing,we want to spend our retirement years
back home.
Congratulation,you must be one proud grandpa.

>rod:
thank
you! nothing compares the happiness i felt and still feeling in knowing
that i am now a lolo. time will come you will feel this way, too. GOD
bless! MABUHAY!

hi rod,
thanks
for writing back,katatapos ko lang basahin yung blog
mo,impressive.well, actually, intimidating to a certain point.happy
easter nga pala sa iyo at sa buong pamilya mo…..
p.s. i send an invite to add you to my list of friends.hope you’ll accept.

>rod:
hello,
Eng, kabayan! nais ko lang ipaalam na hindi ako nag-e-entertain ng
comments. baka maitanong mo, bakit ang sa akin ay nandiriyan? maganda
kasi! nag-match sa b/g ko. kung may nais kang iparating, send me
message na lang.
syanga pala…ganda ng “FREEDOM” mo… “It breaks
the shackle of injustice that impedes our growth and stuns our
enthusiasm for life.” kuhang-kuha mo! congrats! MABUHAY!

>eng:  mar23/08 5:25PM
hi rod,
sorry
about the comment.mahilig kasi ako sa mga quotable quotes ga.you seem
to be the kind of person who appreciates life and whatever it brings
you.pinaghirapan ko pang piliin para umakma sa profile mo. liked the
desiderata and the og mandino.
thanks sa comment sa gawa ko,hobby
lang.i will appreciate it kung me mali sa grammar and whatever by
letting me know.i accede to your wisdom.

>rod:
>
totoo, ganda ng pagkakapili mo at nag match pa sa b/g ko! mananatili
yun doon, promise. umiiwas lang kasi akongmagiging personal ang mga
comments, of course, maliban ang katulad ng sa inyo. sana’y mauunawaan
mo. hangang-hanga ako doon sa ” FREEDOM ” mo.tinamaan mo mo. sapul!
para kang baby boomer samantalang bata ka pa naman. kung nadoon ka nung
kapanahonan ko, sigurado magkakasama tayo. iisa ang damadamin at
layunin. congrats !

recently,
it came to my attention about the Bb. Pilipinas Pageant and i have to
say i had a few spat in you tube with regards to that infamous Q and A
portion. some of the comments are uncalled for, character assassination
to say the least.di ko napigil ang sarili ko na di mag comment. i came
to a depressing conclusion that one does not have to go abroad para
maranasan mo first hand what bigotry is.it flourish in abundance at
home.
wala lang gusto ko lang ilabas ang ngit ngit ko.pasensya na!!

>eng: mar23/08 7:46pm
edsa
1 inspired me to pen that one.i was there the last two days of that
peaceful revolution.i have to say, makes me proud to be a Filipino.
siguro nga kung nandoon ako nung kapanahunan mo, malamang sa kulungan tayo nag meet at di sa friendster.
it
makes me sad though,sa nangyayari sa pinas.corruption has become an
acceptable part(i will be delighted to be proven wrong on this one)of
our once proud nation.di na nga ako nagbabasa ng news about pinas
e..nalulungkot lang ako.
we could have been one of the greatest nation in asia,if only…..
thanks for mentioning na bata pa naman ako..you just make my day,ha!ha!ha!

>eng:  03/24/2008 10:13 pm
thank you.coming from you,i considered it an honor.
i
have searched and waited far and long for someone whom i can
emulate,someone i can look up to,who shares maybe the same passion as i
do.i guess,the waiting is over..i found you(or you found me).
there
are few people that leaves an indelible mark in my life. not so because
i knew them for ages rather they stirred within me a special kind of
feeling;with you, it’s a feeling of coziness and
familiarity…WARMTH.you remind me of home!!!
sorry for the outburst,can’t helped it.
sabi
nga..one of the chief event of life is when you meet a mind that
startles us..you did that and more,you rocked me to my very core
thanks!!!

you have written another valuable piece! keep it up!

thanks,rod
i’m on my dry spell at the moment.
trying to find inspiration on everyday life but it seems elusive.
it wont be long,though,when an idea strikes there’s no stopping me.

i just posted a comment to your prof.
there are 3 of them with the same contents. you may delete the second
and the third ones. mali kasi ung HTML ko sa kanila. maraming salamat.

thanks again!!!
it is an insightful piece of work,isn’t it???
i wanted one on my profile the moment i saw it on your’s.kaya lang wala naman akong originality pag kinopya ko,ha!ha!ha!

hi, my friend. how are you. madyo may katagalan na,ah.   are you busy? just disregsrd this if you are.

> eng wrote:  apr13/’08/7:08am
hi rod, yes, its been a while.
there was a time na pag log in ko, try to see agad kung me message ka, kala mo ba!!!
it
is quite amazing to grow sort of fond with someone i just met and on
top of it i’m beginning to know more   of you thru your profile (good
looking son, huh!!! and   i bet as smart as his dad).well, i think you
knew by  now the answer to that…
the news about philippines is
extremely  alarming,prices of basic commmodity is soaring  skyhigh.poor
juan dela cruz,getting poorer by the  day.my hubby and i were just
talking about impending chaos that might happen(GOD FORBIDS).poverty is
a   great catalyst of anarchy and i hope that we,with our    sunny
disposition in life and enduring characteristic can see through this
time of difficulty.

>rod wrote:
he
is! thanks. if that chaos happens, it will. what matters is how we look
at it. by now, mellowed by years, i’m in a perspective a little
different from where i’ve been in my younger years. before, it was in
the hills. now i want it in the plains.

> eng wrote: apr13/’08/3:31pm
in
the hill before, in the streets now..different time   and different
persona yet we still fight the same  war,the same daemon..why can’t we
shake it off.????

>rod wrote:
what
war? an armed one? shake it off? NO, for me i  don’t! he he he ! what a
poet you are! is not for a  poet a word has many meanings? the war i
wont shake  off is the war against poverty, against corruption. we
share the same opinions about it, don’t we? you poets…(am i one?) he
he he!

>eng wrote: apr13/’08/9:31pm
well, they say birds of the same feather flocks   together..ha!ha!ha!wish i have half of your wisdom.
you
know what? if i hold in my hand the power to change the course of
time,of event, i will as a first order of business eradicate poverty in
the face of the   earth.i will push forward education..as knowledge by
itself is power.
corruption….if only we can make a stand against
this   hideous crime.if only an example can be set to put a stop to it
even if it means hanging them in  bagumbayan..so be it!!this monstrous
wrong doing can not be set right by gentle handling,sometimes you need
to apply an iron hand.i’m harsh i know…i call it   TOUGH LOVE..

madlang people na tulad ko! he he he… once again you showed your
latent talent!

>eng wrote: apr15/’08/4:28pm
thanks rod!!!!ikaw pa????someone of your caliber should be writing a book..inspirational ba!!!have you thought about it????
uuwi ako ng pinas para maka-attend ng book signing mo..i will be the first one in queue.

hi!
my friend, as you may have noticed, i’ve changed my name to manoy doro
which means kuya doro in tagalog. this to put some weight on it, para
medyo igagalang.
tungkol naman sa sinabi mong gumawa ng book, whew,
ambigat naman. inspirational? nandyan na sina mandino. si gibran. si
peale. si carnegie. at marami pa. magkakagulo lang ang mundo pag sumali
pa ako. isa pa, wala naman akong “k”. kaya kung sakasakali mang gagawa
ako na alam kon malayong mangyari, it will take me years to finish.
hanggang dito na lang ako, pasulatsulat lang ng kahit anong
mararamdaman basta ba totoo lang. period. ikaw pa, may malaking
potential. bata pa. may naaabot. may resources. kaya, kung ako sa ‘yo
gagawa ako ng di lang iisa kundi marami.

manoy doro (got to get used to calling you that)…
my
full name is rowena concepcion quinto. i was called eng longer than i
can remember.strange name,i’ve been ridiculed in the past having such
palayaw but i sort of grown into  it… catchy eh at saka i want to
prove to people there’s more in me than just a ridiculous pet name…
hobby ko lang ang sumulat ng kung ano-ano lang…therapeutic, di ba?nailalabas mo ang nasa dibdib mo.
read about your latest entry…read mo na lang ang saloobin ko don.

Or

after two decades of working as an operating room nurse, i had this daunting feeling that i  had reached the  plateau of my distinguished career.

i loved being a nurse,to me its a calling.on my early years i kept myself abreast on every issue relevant to my practice.i see to it that i had a fair knowledge of the surgery  i have to assist (something that i still do) before i actually delved into it.i tried teaching,researching,pioneering a new service…you name it, i’ve done it.

i have  quite a high standard of competence that i would expect people
to abide by.i am  not in the habit of comparing myself to anybody in the workplace, true as it is,there’s someone greater and lesser than me.instead, i fitted myself against myself of how well i performed year after year..i let my exploit speaks for me.to me, there’s nothing more disheartening than working with colleagues for number of years and never raised to the challenge of improving
their craft.i do not expect  someone to know everything with in-depth
knowledge but at least try to make an effort to know the basic.it will
be the ground to where  you will lay the very foundation of your career.

now, as i advances in years and more keen on my vocation, i’m finding it more and more  difficult to motivate myself.i,literally, have to drag myself to do something worthwhile.i recently  finished one project and planning of organizing a staff development committee to pull myself out of this deadening  situation i’m in at the moment.i have to get it going,bring the sprightliness back to my system. i hate being idle,it worries me that i’m not  as enthusiastic as i used to be……maybe, i  simply  outgrown my position as what a friend from work said..”you spread yourself laterally it’s time to move upwards”.maybe, i need to move forward to the structural ladder,or maybe,  what  i need is a breather,a luxurious holiday under the sun…..maybe…..

truth in life

weblogs 3 Comments »


i’m getting bored….my little one is in school and my husband is pre-occupied with the band JOURNEY at the moment.so, i have ample time to contemplate on my life.

sheer knowledge of one’s self is a cornerstone of how we appreciate  and perceive life and whatever it brings us.it is where true power comes,an inelienable freedom begins and unquenchable noesis relies.

character isn’t made in the ease and repose of life nor  the stillness and quietness of time.it is build in  extreme adversity,in the moving ridge of tribulation.it will come forth triumphant,victorious and undefeated in the face of massive asperity.

we should see life on how we would like to live it…paint it as how you envisioned it painted;add your own colours into it.sing a melody you wanted  to bring into harmony with life and in turn it will sing that melody back to you.move gracefully and in rhythm with life,don’t be too hard on yourself.in time, you will find the beat flowing easily.

in life, nothing is ever written in stone.marvel on it day by day, savour it moment by moment.
breath as if  it is your last, laugh as much as you can, love as deeply as you live,derive pleasure from it as if there’s no tomorrow.

in tranquility  and prosperity…be thankful
in rigor and sternness………..be prepared
for when the wheels of life turns,you’ll never know we’re you’re gonna end…

i found my niche

poem 4 Comments »


Cimg2923fam2_1


one thing i have to endure in life is my back pain.had this since time immemorial.some days it’s ok,today it’s just  awful.just nice to be at home and being looked after by family,hence,this one  is made.

i found my niche
in a place of zen
i called my own
small as it is but it is home.

i found my niche
in my daughter’s
loving hug and kiss
a cure to the weariness i  feel.

i found my niche
in my husband’s
warmth embrace
a security i always desire and need.

i found my niche
in this game of words
writing my thoughts
to unburden my load.

thank GOD
i found my niche
a speck of heaven
in this life i’m lucky to live.
