Memoirs of a ...


... woman's nightmare ...

1998:  the most terrible experience in her life came when she realized that she is surrounded with people who are untrue to her and just making fun of her, her life and the life of those people who are close to her. She has no one to turn to even the person who was supposed to be her confidante/companion deceived her. He was trying to infuse his way of thinking to her and influence her about his own beliefs.  She was even given the idea that people in their country commit suicide experiencing the way people treats them after she told him that she had the sudden thought to end her life. This is when she started doubting him. This guy, her confidante is a non-God believer so,  the more he doubted his reasoning and realize from there and then that he is a devil in her life.  Realizing this,  her  faith in God  became even more stronger and realize the meaning to become a lot more stronger because she has innocent people around her to protect. Everyday, before going to sleep she read a short story in the book of Saints and said her prayers and ending by praying the rosary 3 times every night. And fall asleep with tears on her eyes... one night, In her dream, she was awakened by her 3 deceased relative, (her great grand aunt, the sister of her great grand aunt and the cousin of her great grand aunt.)  She said that these 3 people often came to their house to visit them when they were still alive.

In her dream:
They said, "wake up! wake up!
She said, "why?" and kissed their hands... which is cutomary to show respect to an elder relative.
They said, "we were sent by your daddy. He asked us to take you back home. Come!"

Then, she paused, startled...  but, conscious of the fact that she was in a dream and these 3 people who came to her, all had passed away. Even in her dream her thoughts was so clear. She just wondered. She neither accepted nor ignored their invitation to go with them... she just opened her eyes... still sobbing, checked the time it was 3:00 in the morning.

The dream puzzled her. Though she had shared this story to a few people, up to the present this is a memory that kept on coming back to her mind from time to time.



In my country, it's been said and we've always been reminded,  never to cross the line between the dead and the living,  for if you do, that will be the end of your own life here on earth.

... take a peek into a woman's life...

To this date, let's not deny it, a lot of affairs of the heart has been going wrong.  I have observed love life of some people while I was growing up... understanding the love life of relatives, friends, and even my own love life. There are a lot of reasons why is this so... hopelessness or selfishness to name some. Most of us didn't get to see or didn't grow up to know life to be sad. Or simply sometime in the past when our minds was developing we have created in our own minds an idealistic kind of love... far from the life which is actually filled with sorrows and sacrifices. We aspire for a kind of love with a never ending happiness or simply the likeness of a romantic novel which is full of intesified passion for love. We forget to think that the characters in the story we once were fond of reading about don't feel hungry or simply has no craving for food or other things aside from food. (Even gambling, I think is part of some people's craving too...)

A decade ago (perhaps one or two), an adult person  told me that  love would jump over the window when the stomach starts to feel hungry... is this true???  hehehehe... maybe to some. That puzzles me though... up to this time.

A woman on her late 20s became a battered wife in the hands of her husband's dreadful character. Everytime her husband needs money, he would ask her to borrow money to her friends. If she won't obey she'll be turned into a punching bag. Sad to note that the lady is a Filipina married to a foreigner... wherever we are, whatever our nationality is, whether one is married to a foreigner or not we will be seeing character of some people similar to her husband's character... but, for those people who truly believe in God, I still believe that love would be true.

  1. There are some people can not face its problems .. can not face people who try to harm him not because he is weak but because he did not want to increase the problems or ...
    But I think that these women are actually able to extricate itself from this cycle frightening ... Yes, tell scary when the talk turns to the suicide of some people
    Many people believe that God does not exist but in time of need and the problems we all raise our eyes to sky and pray.. return to God and prayer is protect me(us) from these people and increase the strength in challenging problems.. I'm glad this woman she has become stronger..
    As for the dream I interpret that they have a message of love to stay keep the faith and prayer and these people will not affect you whatever they do because God is with her(this woman)
    Yes, there are a lot of things make us stop in our lives ...
    But we must learn from our mistakes and from the mistakes of others And to try to change ourselves from the inside of the better so that we can live in peace and love.
    I believe that all work is done by humans to each other, will find it on death
    Do Good find Good…
    Plant a love find love ...
    If you tried to spread hatred it will return against you one day.
