Build A Chapel

By | Educare, Giving Back, Tributes | 3 Comments

Around the year 2003, Mom was working on building her chapel.  She told us she wanted to give back something to the community and so she thought of a chapel where people can pray and worship the Lord.  And with the help of many friends and family, Sto. Rosario Chapel came to life in 2006 sc0000b70c.jpg

Mom had passed away in January 2007 ( My Other Mother January 30, 2007 ) .  We were very happy that her wish came true and that she was able to build her chapel sc0000e5fc.jpg

We were able to celebrate mass on her 40th day with just the immediate familydsc_0009.JPGdsc_0010.JPGdsc_0034.JPG

 And though the chapel was built and the structure was there, there were several things that were not yet finished.  With the initiative of James and John, last March they had the idea that we should try to finish the chapel by Mom’s birthday which is today.

So we visited the chapel with the help of Mom Menchu and Edgar…dsc_5227.JPGdsc_5249.JPGdsc_5252.JPG

After assessing the situation, just a few finishing touches on the facade and some needed materials inside the church were needed.  Thanks to Edgar for designing and mobilizing to meet the deadline

We dedicate this chapel to Mom and we remember her today on her birthday.  We miss her!  But we know that she is happily with the Lord in Heaven!  Pray for us always Mom.  We love you!

 Thank you to the friends of James and John who helped finish the last few phases of the chapel:

You Are Always In Our Hearts!

By | Heart Songs, Tributes | 4 Comments

How one man can affect the lives and touch the hearts of people all over the world!  Despite the fame, Michael Jackson is only human just like all of us.  We all have our weaknesses.  

He will live in us FOREVER!  WE WILL BE THERE FOR YOU FOR YOU ARE ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS!

Watch this beautiful video till the end…Listen to his words and the angel’s action…I thought it was very appropriate for Heart2Heart’s tribute! 

 

In our darkest hour………In my deepest despair

Will you still care? Will you be there? 

In my trials……..And my tribulations

Through our doubts……….And frustrations

In my violence………..In my turbulence

Through my fear……….And my confessions

In my anguish and my pain

Through my joy and my sorrow

In the promise of another tomorrow

I’ll never let you part

For you’re always in my heart.

I was happy to see all my other friends in facebook and multiply sympathizing with me that day…

 I looooove Michael Jackson and despite whatever wrong decisions he made in his life, he was overall a really good person who touched so many lives all over the world and opened up barriers between races.Just like his song “Man in the Mirror”, we should really look at ourselves first before judging him or any other human being if we want a positive change.Michael Jackson was a great humanitarian and his music was a constant light, a sign of unity for the world..  For that and the many happy memories he brought into my life with my friends and family throughout the years and still today, I will always be thankful for his existence and contribution to humanity.
