Sad Story....Filipina Vanishes


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This has to be one of the saddest news I've read in a while. Leafil Alforque, a 22 year old Filipina, was swept to sea during a proposal by her future husband. It happened at place in Oregon called "Proposal Rock". According to Oregon News, Scott Napper took her to the site to formally ask her to marry him. Unfortunately, she slipped when a tide came to them and literally swept the 93-pound Filipina off her feet which caused her to fall in the water. Sad. Here's a link to the Yahoo News about it.

somethings are not just meant to be juls. napakalungkot isipin kung bakit kailangang mangyari ang ganyan sa isang mahalagang okasyon. harinawa ay matanggap ng kanyang mga mahal sa buhay and masaklap na pangyayaring ito. my heart goes out to them especially to the man who just lost her ladylove. hey! have a great weekend and don't forget to cheer for manny pacquiao. ciao!

what a pity for this tragic incident, although we might be sorry for what had transpired, however, one thing sure is that God has its own way of making complex things be understood by everybody as time goes on and on...the least we can do for now is probably offer our prayers for the eternal repose of her soul...

Yeah i already read the tragic story about her. I felt so sorry of her family because i know they are expecting her to have a wonderful life here but instead, something bad happened unexpectedly. I was just wondering why did the guy brought her there since the place is known to be a notorious place to sweep people's away by the furious waves.

hello mommy J!

nakakalungkot naman ng story na to. haven't heard of this until now. the girl looks familiar or baka may kamukha lang. it wasn't indicated in the news kasi where in the Philippines she is from. :(

Unused Keyboard

When the little one was about 8 she asked 'Santa' for a keyboard for Christmas. It was one of the many items in her list and she knew that not all in her list will be fulfilled. Still, we, I mean Santa brought her a keyboard. Since I'm usually the one in-charge of looking for the items in her list, I started by checking out http://www.musiciansfriend.com/ since they have anything and everything music related. I'm not sure where we got the keyboard from but she was ecstatic and was excited to play it for a good couple of days. Fast forward to present time, the keyboard is still practically brand new. It's stashed in the corner of her closet for the last 6 years. But it seems it's not forgotten yet because she just brought it up in one of our conversations over the weekend. So who knows? Maybe she's dust it off and start learning on how to play it. I hope....

I'm talking about our little one! She moves sooooo sllllooooowwww in the morning. I get tired just waiting for her to finish her morning rituals. Right now she's there and she's been there for ages.

Believe it or not, it takes her approximately 30 minutes to finish her business in the bathroom. She only does 3 things there - pee, brush her teeth and change her clothes! Just three! I still do the combing of her hair because it's really long. She can't manage it yet. Here's a shot of her hair from the back...see how long it is?? I can only imagine if she has to comb it herself. She'll probably be in the bathroom the whole day.

Drafts, Etc....

It's been a while since I last posted. I must say it's not because of the lack in attempts because I have several drafts in my folder to dispute that. The drafts though are all unfinished. Why? It's either I got disrupted by work or I just couldn't finish it one way or another. But I'm here now.

So what had happened since my last post? Not much actually. I've been trying to keep myself occupied with work mostly but I still get a bit bored most days. It used to be that surfing online would keep my entertained I don't know why but I feel like I need to go on a vacation...even if we just came back from a month-long vacation a couple months ago. I guess stress is getting into me somehow that's why I want to have a get-away. I actually miss home. I don't know what triggered it but it started a couple of weeks ago. The hundreds [maybe a thousand plus] pictures we took when we were there a few months ago are still sitting in my picture folder and I have j…
