My Precious Little One

I wrote this poem today, seven days after I lost my second child. This is what a grieving mother has to say, to her stillborn baby girl.

 

My precious little one

I had you with me for 32 weeks,

my 32 blissful weeks.

My nights and days were full of joys and excitements

eagerly waiting for the day

the day I’ll be able to hold you in my arms.

But suddenly, I lost you.

I never thought that God choose you to become his angel

before you’re even been born,

an angel that will forever look after us…

My blissful nights had turned into gloom

Full of sadness and grief

My anticipation of hearing your cries and laughter

all had disappeared.

"I LOVE YOU" is all I can say to you...

I may not have you physically

But FOREVER you are in my heart.

And you will always be my precious little girl.

To our Angel Xyra,

Papa Jes, Mama Jan and Kuya Xye love you so much...

Vinca or Periwinkle

All I know that this flower is called Vinca, but after blog hopping I read about the same flower in another blog, and she called it periwinkle. To clear my confusion, I had to searched the internet and had found out that this flowering plant can be called either vinca or periwinkle.

This flowers are quite abundant around the house (newly rented house), at first I wondered how this plants had multiplied. I can see them almost anywhere inside our perimeter then I realized that this plant has seeds. Hubby found a jar full of seeds at the back of the house. Although some variety can be propagated by cuttings but most of them are grown with seeds.

I wished there are other varieties available, but as of now we have the pure white and the fuchsia pink variety.

Berry Strawberry Ice Cream

Instagram is the hottest craze in the mobile and cyber world. Everybody take and share photos using this mobile application. 

I heard so much about Instagram before but was not interested at all because I don't have an iPhone or an android phone and our home was not WIFI ready yet.

Now that I already have them, I finally have joined the craze too.. So here's my first Instagram share using my Samsung S2 Android Phone.

As the Sun Sets

Every time you wake up and ask yourself, What good things am I going to do today?, remember that when the sun goes down at sunset, it will take a part of your life with it.

Dessert Rose Up Close

A very common plant in the neighborhood with a striking dark pink to red color flowers, evergreen leaves and succulent stem is called "the dessert rose", also called kalachuchi by others. This houseplant is indeed very attractive especially during summer where the flowers are abundantly blooming.

Just like the picture above that I have photographed at my brother's house. One of my mom's cultivated dessert rose.
