“I would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life.”
~Corazon Aquino~
Last Aug. 1, 2009, former President Corazon Aquino passed away. It was a very sad day for many Filipinos. She has been a great, honorable and honest leader. She will always be remembered and loved by the people. I couldn’t help but cry as I watched Cory’s necrological services earlier on television. It was touching to hear the people close to her talk about their relationship with the late President.
Former Corazon Aquino will be buried tomorrow, Aug. 5, 2009 at Manila Memorial Park. Malacañang has declared tomorrow a special non-working holiday.
Last October 24 was the feast day of St. Rafael. My in-laws live in the town of San Rafael and every year, they prepare a small feast in honor of their town’s patron saint. It’s their way of saying thank you for the blessings bestowed to them each year.
My mother-in-law is still in the States having a vacation but my brother-in-law made sure there was still a small feast for the family.
I ate a lot that night. It’s so hard to maintain a diet when there is always good food around. I might just need the help of alli, a non-prescription, FDA approved diet pill to lose some much needed weight.
I think every young boy wants to be a cowboy at some point. I remember when we were kids, my younger brother had a toy lasso and a cowboy hat. He wore it to costume parties we attended before. I have to admit, I also wanted to be a cowgirl and I even wanted my own horse. Of course, it wasn’t possible to have my own horse but I was able to ride one when we went to my uncle’s farm many years ago. It makes me smile thinking of the good old days.
Now that I have become a mother, I realized that dreaming of becoming a cowboy is natural among children. My 4-year old son has repeatedly shown interest in wanting to be a great cowboy. His grandmother even sewed a cowboy vest especially for him and I bought him a nice cowboy hat. There was a time we were able to watch a rodeo event on television and Yohan enjoyed watching the exciting activities.
I would like to bring my son to watch a live rodeo show someday so he can see real cowboys in person. I heard of The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo that takes place at Houston’s Reliant Stadium every March. It would be wonderful to get hold of Houston Rodeo concert tickets, preferably center seats and the nearer the better. I’m sure my son would be thrilled to witness such a fun and exciting rodeo show.
My family and I had a magnificent time at the 12th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Festival held at Clark, Pampanga. We were there to witness the grand sports aviation event last weekend, Feb. 9 and 10.
We had a spectacular time watching events such as skydiving, paragliding, choreographed kite flying, aerobatic display and the much anticipated Hot Air Balloon flight.
