..time ran fast

My children are all grown-ups now. How the time ran fast. I could still see those innocent smiles during their childhood- school days. I thought as a mother, i have done my obligations- giving them my love, care, advices and assistance to hold them straight, which mother can offer to their children. To give them a good and strong foundation to build their own family too. There are times, i could feel their broken hearts, their loud cry being helpless but i cannot just be there to give them a hand and it hurts me so.

Man is lonely by birth. I believe, this is one thing in our life that we have to consider. I am sure, i am not alone in this World confronted with such feelings.

The German Patients....

I work here in Germany,in one of the biggest Organization in the whole world for nearly 10 years now.My task is to take care of old people.I find my work so difficult but interesting.I love to work under old people.You see,,my patients mostly are intelligent,correct,one could imagine like a "President" or a "Queen".Almost all of them are lonely people.I guess,because of their experiences in former times..regardless of war or any reason.
I know that to be "old" isn't a favorite theme .Being old is relative.It is really hard to accept being old:That problem ..to be old isn't a problem but instead,that; how can we stay young.
In my area lives 3 pinays.I able to start the first step to work as an Altenpflegerin follows Clarita and Norma.
The 3 Angels........
For the German patients having us as Schwestern..they find it "lucky"
They know we do our job"pflege mit Herz und Seele"(we work with heart and soul) properly.And mostly, with gusto.
Of course,our duty has a time table..very limited for every patient..with different approach.
Clarita is my wechsel dienst.She work 5 days and free and I work week-ends and 5 days and then free.
We have a first patient we call her madame.Parkinson and diabetic ,highblood..Mwf is a big programe.M19..meaning a 1 hr service."P"
paligo,pahairdo,pakainin,pabihisan ,pablutdruck messen,pabigay medis at pa fix sa beddings.(anova yan) oi..don't forget to empty pa the toilletenstuhl.
at mag doku...hehehehe wa akong deutsch sister net.
Of course,in order that we know what is going on with her..we need to converse while doing our job.
Heto na...we have our own key to get inside..knock2x...guten morgen..Frau...
dann automatisch druck man die malteser notruf(hmm..)NAAAAAAAAA wie geht es Ihnen?..sabay pasok at nag tiklup na ng gamit nya..Sie antwortet..äh.. gut...sabay ..kuha sa mappe..at nag basa..sabi ko naman..klingt nicht zu überzeugen Frau...dann fängt Sie an zu erzählen..wissen Sie was Schwester..gestern war ich doch ins tagespflege...blabla..Öje...
After an hour pawis na ako..oke Frau ..dann bis morgen..Sie warten bis die civis Sie abholt okeeeeeeeee...?! mit kliene stimme..oke danke schön und bis morgen..(häää) makilala pakaya niya ako bukas kung hindi umandar ang demenz nya.Dann tschüß....sabay takbo to the next patient.My very first patient was a blind lady,parkison and overweight..I thought to myself I will try to look for a job if by a chance I could find one.Since Iam not pschologically strong to handle such cases.I always think of my mama.I pity them..I cried so hard ,at my first duty..but now ,Iam already used to it.I could even tackle the smell of the urine or stuhlgang.Whatelse could I do I choose that missionary work.And Iam glad I did.My father would be proud of me ,for I know he wished me to be so.

Der Weg Zum Glück

Halte Hass fern von deinem Herzen,
belaste deine Gedanken nicht mit Sorgen.
Lebe einfach,erwarte wenig.
Sei freigiebig,singe oft,
bete ohne Unterlass.
Erfülle dein Leben mit Liebe.
Sende Sonnenstrahlen aus.
Denke nicht an dich,
sondern an andere.
Behandle andere Menchen so,
wie Du willst,dass sie dich behandeln.
Das sind die bewährten Glieder
in der goldenen Kette der Zufriedenheit.

Requeme.....

Efren used to read this poem he really likes it so much.Realizing that my father used to read and re-read it all over again according to my sister.
I missed them so much, not because I have this feeling ..being left alone.
Iam fighting with Gog..such a powerful,very influential..very trickery..man.
Iam so exhausted with an overwhelming problems.Sometimes,I could not help but cry.A loud cry but nobody could hear me.And sometimes, I was talking with my late husband and father..who left me for 30 years ago.
When Iam dead my dearest
Sing no sad song for me

Plant thou no Roses at my head

Nor a shadey cypress tree

Be the green grass above me

With showers and dew drops wet

And if thou wilt remember

And if thou wilt forget

I shall not see the shadow

I shall not feel the rain

I shall not hear the nigthtingale sing as if in pain

And dreaming through the twilight

That doth not rise nor set

Happly I may remember

Happly I may forget...

To a dear sister..Sonia,weil du einmalig bist

Niemand hat deine Fingerabdrücke.
Niemand hat deine Stimme.
Niemand sagt so"ich liebe dich" wie du.
Niemand glaubt wie du.
Niemand hat deine Geschichte.
Niemand spürt die gleiche Trauer,das gleiche Glück wie du.
Niemand ist wie du.
Niemand in deinem Land,auf deinem kontinent,auf dem dritten Planeten dieses Sonnensystems,in der Galaxie, die wir die Milchstraße nennen.
Niemand,
weil du einmalig bist....hdl

all these places have their meaning.....
High School days is the most exciting memories in life.One could really say..."if only I could turn back the time"....and yes! we were Interesting people..are people who are interested.Bores are people who are bored.
We made a lots of activities in campus...I guess if there is one to get a good credit for being active ..it was me..somehow my extra-curricular activities are 100% good..I won't dare to say "very"since I was a shy girl"kuno?"..I dance..I sing...I play instrument..do the theater piece..a declaimer...sport...religious group..activist..and a muse...above all boys were like bees roaming around..and at the age of 14.. a muslim Prince offered me a marriage and be a Princess..and of course, I gracefully say no..after all I still want to play..bahay-bahayan.

Real Friends....

Real friends are those who,when you've made a fool of yourself,don't feel that you've done a permanent job.

Last sept.5,1988 a girlfriend of mine sent me a letter that made me really surprised...may I share this letter and her poem addressed named girlie.

She wrote;

Dear Girly,

My surprise is not very surprising but this poem was conceived last night before I went to sleep...... then I "put finishing touches" this few minutes before I'm going down to the post office.

I hope you'll like it.It is for your "entertainment"for your birthday!

Love Always,

A Friend Named Girlie

by:*Red Rose 9-4-88

I thank God for all these people

That surround my little soul

They may be young and maybe old

Somestimes jolly sometimes cold

But let me speak of a friend

Who might have a heart of gold

But this treasure she carefully hold

Sometimes rejected other times misunderstood

Her beauty is for every eyes to see

But,yeah,look deep through the inner she

Behind the proud smile there's a gentle face

Behind the sharp tongue is a humble phrase

Look at the way she moves

Fast strides reflected her happy world

And even if she wanders anywhere

She comes home like another winner

She is sincere friend

But a sting to an enemy

She dances gracefully

But sings ordinarily

Her taste is classy

But eats heavily

Her jokes are funny

Yet sometimes bland and corny

Oh, all the things I've seen in Girlie

Are of course seen in me!!

ha!ha!

Girl,have a ha..ha..happy birthday!

P.s. lock your age behind the drawer.

*If you can't remember,I used to write Red Rose as my pseudonym..especially

when we were active in the Horizon Campus.. requested songs are signatured by Red Rose............Me

Somebody New......

There's somebody new at our house

who only came today,A cute ,sweet little someone

We surely hope will stay;He's a bundle sweet and rare,

And all the angels in heaven could never be quite as fair.

There's somebody strange at our house,

Who calls himself our own;

And though he's been here so short a time

He's master of our home.

We wouldn't dare deny his wish,

We love his winning smile,

He's found a place within our hearts

In such a little while....mommy

A song I thought to write one day,
And all the World would homage pay.
I longed to write a noted book,
But what I did was learn to cook.
For life with simple tasks is filled,
And I have done,not what I willed,
Yet when I see boy's hungry eyes
I'm glad I make good apple pies...
