Mitzi's Site http://schatz75.multiply.com/ The journey of love is a venture, it's a gamble. We never know what lies beyond the horizon. We travel most of the time in faith, not knowing what lies ahead of us.. We only know the journey must be undertaken, for we know that the journey of love is the only path to happiness...

I've been a blogger for quite some time, but rested for a while for some reasons (laziness is one of them perhaps?)..

As a full-time housewife and mother, it's truly comforting after a very tiring day running errands at home when your children give you a big hug and say, I love you Ma -- those magical words always warm my heart and make me smile even how tired I am. It's their own little way of expressing how they appreciate the things you do for them.

Mr. Velasco is a Filipino painter, author and if I'm not mistaken, he's also a sculptor. It was his Last Supper painting "Hapag ng Pag-asa" (The Table of Hope) that caught my attention. The artwork shows the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with street children surrounding Him and not His apostles. We can see those children in his painting in the news almost everyday--- they are street children and they all look the same... abandoned, neglected and...struggling to survive. They are the reasons why I avoided roaming around the streets of a huge metropolis like Manila, because the mere sight of them always upsets me. Why? Simply because I'm so helpless everytime I see them. I feel pangs of guilt. How could life be so cruel to these creatures? Life is not indeed fair. The saddest part of it, they were not even given a choice from the start. With their increasing... http://schatz75.multiply.com/journal/item/11/The_Table_of_Hope Sat, 8 Mar 2008 11:24:08 -0000 Dear Mr. President Let me share with you this moving (and controversial) song by PINK. It's a single from her 4th album, <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I'm_Not_Dead">I'M NOT DEAD (2006)</A>, which was released here in Germany on April 2007 . The song is like an open letter to the "PRESIDENT". It takes a lot of guts for someone to write such song... and PINK took the courage to do so, and because of that, she became one of the few whom I really admire. Here's the link to view the music video: (listen to the song and let the video speaks directly to your heart. I need not to write more about it.

It's just a simple video, yet moving and has a heart-striking message. Thanks to my good friend <A href="http://www.friendster.com/gwapangflip">Rebecca</A> for sending it to me. The video urges everyone to  remember the sacrificial lambs sent out to war. Yes, a lot of people hate them and even blame them... but they are just doing their duty...and they are avoiding death daily even if they have slim chances to win every battle they encounter just to stay alive and be home safe to their families. Let's pray for them. In war, soldiers are not to be blamed, but the ones, who send them out.

We should cherish and honor every single day the ones who sacrifice a lot for our family. Mothers are the only workers who don't have regular time off. Last Sunday, the 13th of May was this year's official celebration of motherhood. I received as usual compliments from my family and friends honoring me as a mother. My husband gave me flowers and praline and my kids presented to me their lovely self-made cards (with the help of their pre-school teachers, of course!). <A href="http://schatz75.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/R9JxmwoKCCEAAHPKr5A1"><IMG class=alignmiddleb src="http://images.schatz75.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/R9JxmwoKCCEAAHPKr5A1/imag0012-1.jpg?et=oWNLnTGIUCOJO27A1vRxlw&nmid=" border=0></A>Just like any other mothers, it's flattering to be treated extra nicely on mother's day... but more than that, it's more fulfilling to be able to experience how it really is to be a mother.

Yesterday was a frightening experience for me while driving in the rain on our way home from Chris' soon-to-be new school. My husband and my eldest son, Chris were with me. I never thought we would experience yesterday the most dreaded <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroplaning_(road_vehicle)">HYDROPLANING</A> or <A href="http://www.whatprice.co.uk/car/aquaplaning.html">AQUAPLANING</A>... Yes, I lost control of the vehicle and it was such a nightmare. I'm used of driving on wet and slippery roads, but yesterday was quite different. Everything happened so fast and it caught me off guard. We were on a country road approaching a roundabout, so I had to slow down. I hit the brakes and right there and then, aquaplaning/hydroplaning occurred. I'm not supposed to apply the brakes firmly, but I panicked and slammed on the brakes more causing the car to skid. It was a wrong maneuver, I know. I held the steering wheel firmly 'though and prayed hard the car would stop before I cause an accident...and it finally did.
