Blessings I received Last 2013

By sherlane
Just got my first hair cut for this year. :-)

 I posted my photo on my FB wall and many people liked my post. Most of them wrote that I look younger with my new hair cut.

 I'm not a 'Papansin" type but I can't deny the fact that I love the attention that I am getting and their positive feedback regarding my new look... Then I got a PM from a friend and asked me "What's the hair cut is all about?"

 I was surprised and amazed because he is the only one who guessed that there's a meaning for cutting my hair short.

 I told him that the new hair cut is my way of saying to my self that this year will be a new year for me. I already prunned the old me so that a new one could sprout.

 He again asked me why so I ended up telling him my struggles during 2013. After hearing me out, he told me that yes, I had my difficulties but I should not think about that and instead, I should count all my blessings... And these are the blessings that I had counted.

List of blessings I received last 2013


  1. I have a family who loves me and supported me in all my decisions
  2. I have friends that I know who will be there for me
  3. I still have money even though it's been 9 months that I do not have a regular work
  4. I can still make some "raket" in  my former office because I did not burn the bridge
  5. I had a kind and generous boss who gave me money and a spa gift card  on my last day of work. She also said told me she is very thankful for the 16 years service I gave to the company (I'm really touched with my former boss gesture)
  6. I have a Christian community who's giving me spiritual nourishment and support
  7. My brother is now the one paying for the house rent even thought I did not asked him. He is also buying groceries for our needs
  8. I am still alive. Many people already passed away and being alive means that I always have the opportunity to do the things I wanted to do
  9. I have sickness but I am not bed ridden
  10. I am literate. I have a college degree 
  11. I am now enrolled in an e-learning course that can help me with my career (and not everybody can afford to enroll here :-))
  12. I have an internet 3 mbps connection at home 
  13. I am a computer savvy. I do not know everything but at least I know more that what an average computer user does
  14. I have a house to live. Although I am just renting it  and the house is not that beautiful because it is very old and made out of wood, but the house rental is cheap (same rent for 7 years)
  15. I always have food on my table
  16. My family are still alive. Although most of them are in the province,  but they are just a call and text away

Mga Pamahiin sa Lamay at Libing

By sherlane
Maraming matatandang pamahiin na hanggang ngayon ay namamayani pa rin at isa na rito ay ang mga pamahiin tungkol sa patay. Ilang araw pa lang ang nakararaan ng umuwi ako sa aming probinsya upang makiramay sa aking kaibigan na nawalan ng kanyang mahal sa buhay, at aking na obserbahan pa rin ang mga pamahiing ito. Alam ko naman na walang masama sa pamahiin subalit ang nakakapagtataka lang (at medyo nakakatawa) ay kung bakit hindi nila maipaliwanag kung bakit ito dapat gawin at sundin. Ito ang mga listahan nga mga pamahiin na aking napag ukulan ng pansin mula pa sa aking pagkabata.(Ang iba po dito ay hindi ko na obserbahan mga sa huling lamay na aking napuntahan subalit itulot nyo na ito ay maisama ko sa aking pagbabahagi.) Pamahiin Kapag May Patay 1 .Bawal magsuklay ng buhok sa lamay - Malas raw.  Ito lang ang nakuha ko na paliwanag. Paano pag mukha ka ng bruha? Baka ang mga  nakikiramay na nag matakot sayo. :-) 2. Bawal maligo sa bahay kung nasaan ang lamay - ...

Paano Alisin Ang Tinik ng Isda sa Lalamunan

By sherlane
Maraming klase ng isda ang ating inihahain sa ating mesa. Merong maraming tinik kagaya ng Tamban at ng Bangus. Sa mga taong mahilig kumain ng isda, paminsan-minsan ay hindi natin maiiwasan na tayo ay matinik kahit anong ingat ang ating gawin at ngayong araw na ito ang bibihirang pagkakataon na ako at natinik ng isda. Hindi tamban o Bangus ang tumarak na tinik sa aking lalamunan kundi tinik ng maya-maya (buti na lang hindi malaki ang maya-maya ha ha ha). Dahil sa sakit na aking naranasan ay pinilit ko na ilabas ito sa aking lalamunan kasabay ng aking mga kinain. (Ayon sa nabasa ko, hindi raw ito nararapat gawin sapagkat baka ma iritate daw ang lalamunan kaya hindi ko ipinapayo na ako ay inyong gayahin.). May nakita naman ako na lumabas na tinik ng isda subalit nananatili pa rin sa aking lalamunan ang pakiramdam na may tumutusok habang ako ay lumulunok. Sinabi ko ito sa aking nanay at ito ang kanyang ipinayo. 1) Kumain ng saging pero huwag ito nguyain. Lunukin agad para mapasama ...

Sagada Healing Journey 2025

By sherlane
  My Healing Journey in Sagada  Last January 3-5, I embarked on a Sagada tour that had been on my bucket list for quite some time. Originally, I planned to go last year, but life got in the way. My friends were unavailable, and when I finally decided to join a group, my schedule became too hectic. This year, I resolved to make it happen and booked a trip through a travel agent organizing tours in Sagada. It turned out to be more than just a vacation—it became a journey of healing. A Time for Reflection As my 50th birthday approaches, I’ve been overwhelmed with emotions. Menopause, hormonal imbalance, and the weight of expectations from others have taken a toll on me. I’ve invited close friends to celebrate my milestone birthday, only to face a string of declines due to prior commitments. While I understand their reasons, it hurt deeply. It felt as though no one cared enough to adjust their plans for me. Coupled with other lingering personal challenges, this left me feeling sad...
