A last goodbye to our dear Mama Bebing

I am a bit tired, I haven't had a good sleep since last night. But it's all okay, everything is okay. At least my Mama Bebing's funeral goes well. Yes it's been sad but we have to accept it, she's in another world and I guess she likes it there. She had been suffering for years because of her illnesses and at last she rest in peace now. She had been a second mother to us, a very loving, caring, understanding and the best aunt we had. We called her Mama Bebing, not just because she's my father's older sister but because she is really like a mother to us too.

For our dear Mama Bebing, Rest in Peace and we hope that you are happy now wherever you are. It's been years that we haven't see her well though she is just isolating herself to her room, because we felt afraid to show up with her because she would cry a lot. We were afraid that maybe that would cause her too much depression and self pity due to what she had been. So whenever we visited her in their house, we were just trying to sneak on her room so that we can see her face and what she'd been up to. Until the last time that she couldn't make it anymore and decided to give up.

She has been a good sister to my father too, and the best sister in-law of my mama. That is why lately, my mama couldn't dare to see her on her coffin for a last glimpse because we know that she would burst rivers of tears if she would see her. She just walked away with that awry face, trying to hide her face from crying. It's been really hurt but life must go on... Because we know that she's happy wherever she is now. Again Rest in Peace Mama Bebing we love you much and thanks for everything=)

Overcoming fear in public speaking

Are you preparing yourself for a public speaking? Perhaps you were nervous of that coming day. Since you do not want to be booed in front of the public as what you are expecting to happen when you could not deliver your message well, you are making your best to make it perfect. We cannot deny the fact that speaking in front of the many audiences is a dilemma, no matter how hard we do on our practice if we are already in the middle of the stage we cannot stop our knees from trembling, we suddenly lost from what we are about to speak because we have been blinded with the anxiety and nervous we feel. Many of us want to escape from this problem, to overcome the fear of public speaking, the tips below is one of the great ways.


Prepare optimistically

Be positive about your subject. Avoid worrying of yourself, instead get excited about the subject you are about to tackle. Think of the fact that you are delivering something significant to your audience that could help enhance their personality or their perspective in life. Choose the topic that you are expert with, though you are sharing a monotonous type of subject but putting life through your speech could give great impressions.

Stop thinking to be perfect

As much as possible, avoid thinking of yourself to be perfect. Most of the first time public speakers want to be perfect in front of the audience because they were afraid of mistakes and embarrassments. Remember, these are the factors that would feel you anxious and the more anxious you feel the more mistakes you will get. Just be yourself, all of us can take mistakes because nobody is perfect. If you get mistakes during your public speaking presentation, do not take it as a major consequence to your success, instead accept it positively and take it as a challenge. For your next time public appearance learn from your mistakes and develop some skills to recover through it quickly.

Stop thinking of your past experience

One of the reasons why most people are afraid of public speaking is due to the bad past experiences that they had. In their recent time those experiences could remain as a traumatizing event that they hardly forget. If you think this is one of the reasons of your fear in speaking in front of the public, visiting a therapist or counselor who focuses in trauma and phobias would help.

Avoid hassles and relax

Before your presentation, relax yourself and avoid from any hassles. If your presentation would already be in the next day and you have troubled falling asleep drinking one glass of warm milk will work. Thinking some relaxing and pleasant thoughts could also help. Listening to a relaxing music or reading could push you to sleep. Above all, just be yourself during your presentation think of your audience as the people who were craving of information from you.

He surprised me again!!!

January 22, yes that was definitely yesterday. I was still in my deep sleep when my cell phone rang which was just beside me (since I used its alarm clock to wake me up), I was a bit appalled because when I picked it up I saw my bf’s name on it. Wooohh he’s calling me that early?! Wow! That was weird huh?!

It is weird for me because, he’s not used to call me with that early kind of time. During our conversation, I can imagined that he’s grinning over me, it makes me feel irritated because it’s only five something in the morning, and to think that I set my cell phone’s alarm clock at 7:10 am, to rush myself to get ready at work at nine.

Over the phone he told me to get up because I’m going to be late at work, oh my… he knows what time I should have to go to work, why the hell he’s still waking me up?! Despite of it, I still enjoyed our talks anyways. While in the midst of our conversation I heard a paging and he suddenly hanged it up. Again, that was really weird.

I never mind it at all, though I am a little bit worried because maybe he’s in the hospital since he told me that he’s in their house just lying on his bed. So I was thinking that maybe he’s in the hospital and he just doesn’t want to let me know because I might feel worried. Well, of course I would be worried! Despite of it all, I tried to sleep back though I never succeeded to. So I just opt to wake myself up and prepare myself to work.

When I was on my way to our office, I couldn’t forget those weird unprecedented calls my bf had. Then, when I crossed in the street to reach our office, someone’s whistled on me, so I searched who it was. Tadanggggg!!! It’s him!!! Yes, exactly my bf is there at the corner of our office. My gossshhhh I couldn’t believe it.

Now I realized why he suddenly hanged his phone when I heard a paging, because he was in the airport that time and he’s trying to hide that from me. Ohhh crap, I forgot that my man really loves surprises. You know, we’ve been together for almost seven years and hopefully last to forever. Though our story is truly sweet, but we have to make sacrifices because of the distance we had. Yes, we been together still despite the so called LDR or Long Distance Relationship we have.

Being committed with someone, who you could not be with all the time especially during the especial occasions like Christmas, New Year and more is not easy. You have to have the strengths, courage, the trust, honesty and being patience if you really want to make your relationship last. Asking me why we have a long distance relationship? Well, it is because of his profession.

He’s a sailor; though he haven’t sailed yet on the ship he longed been dreaming but he already have the key to reach it. Yes, if you would ask me if it’s hard for me to handle this I would answer, definitely yes. But I have to; because he’s all I want for life lols! And I know that’s what he wants to. We had been through all the circumstances, but still we’re together, getting stronger and happier. I have heard a lot about the seaman’s motto “Every port report, every place replace” it sounds funny, but I wouldn’t believe that my man can do it, I have tight trust on him and I know he couldn’t do that to me.

I just hope that for the coming years, we still together whatever we may encounter in our relationship.

Black Nazarene Procession

I know that it is late for me to post about the Black Nazarene procession last Saturday. Oh well… think about what day we are today. But I just wanted to share the feelings that I felt during that time. It was totally amazing, self-fulfilling and totally worthy. I admit my feet were really aching and it was really a tiring long procession but I didn’t think of it though. I think about all the different people devotedly following the Black Nazarene.

I wouldn’t consider myself as one of the devotees but I truly believe in him. I am not really religious but I do love and trust him. During the procession there are different people reciting the holy rosary and holding lighted candles. We never bring a rosary with us yet we still recited the rosary and we brought with us lighted candles as well.

Before the procession began, a mass was held in the Cathedral church. We are late in attending the mass, and besides we cannot enter the church already because of the many people inside and outside the church. So we just waited outside until the mass was ended and the procession began. We never had the chance to sit even for awhile since we were in the cathedral church until the procession ended that is why I really felt that day that my feet was numbing. It took us two and a half hours before the Black Nazarene reached his final destination.

What makes me amazed about the procession since some of the followers had physical disabilities. Despite the long hour procession these disabled people together with their wheelchair were still determined to sacrifice. It made me realized that I am fortunate enough to have a complete me, that make me feel not tired at all despite the longed hour walk. Black Nazarene is not just miraculous but the best!
