Life is a Canvas...
You make Art out of it.

 But if you have the power to make things right...

It is a sin to not do it.

 And of all the things she said, I couldn't agree more with her phrase "You get what you get... And you should be very proud of what you've done with it."

Because definitely...

It is reality... Better do something good with it. 

Choose Your Pretty Face

 Could you wear your smiling mask

Like a second skin?

Make yourself believe

That you're happy deep within.

Yet in this world full of

Heartbreaks and disgrace...

It is a courage to choose

To always wear a pretty face.

 So much outcry these past few days. People have so much to say, and to be honest, they are getting caught up by their own words.

And in line with their so called "Let me educate you" way of imposing enlightenment...

Let me educate you about democracy.

Democracy - is a system of government where the control is according to the majority.

What you are ranting about is for democracy...

But from what I see...

THE DEMOCRACY THAT YOU ARE FIGHTING FOR IS THE SAME DEMOCRACY THAT YOU ARE KILLING.

The majority has cast their lots.

That is democracy.

If you can't accept it...

Then might as well respect it.

After all, we are a democratic country.

Biases and Biases

 Real Talk...

If you can't accept the truth...

You'll believe in all the possible theories...

Even if they're just pigments of imaginations.

***kung di mo tanggap ang katotohanan...

Lahat ng teorya ay iyong paniniwalaan...

Kahit ito ay pawang kathang-isip lamang.

Mothers are strong and yet gentle. They are queens that will fight and protect but will also care and love her children.

How much more for those single mothers? They are strong and independent that will fight and protect and love and care for their children. They are queens who are transformed and became Kings. Wearing the crown and the armour all at the same time. All for the name of love.

I let you have a glimpse of how a single mother handles everything.

While for a complete family, both the parents work together to finance their children. When there are financial problems, the husband and the wife supports each other. When the child is sick, they both take care of the child, and they comfort each other if they are worried. Both have each other to plan for the future. If one is distressed, they can always talk to their partner to feel better.

But for single mothers, we work hard to finance the needs of our children while we work harder to take care of them still. When we have financial problems, we go through it alone. If our child is sick, we take care of it alone and still manage to go to work if necessary. If we are worried, we comfort ourselves. We plan for the future all by ourselves. And if we are distressed, we seek solace within ourselves and try our very best to look ok in the eyes of our children.

Yes, that is how we handle it... ALONE. 

We sometimes cry at night for we carrying all the burdens ALONE. But most of the time we just sleep through it because we don't have time to linger in such emotions because there are much important things to do than to pity ourselves or to linger in the negative emotions.

Yes, we are much stronger than you think because we don't have someone to lean on. 

Everything we do...

We do it ALONE.

So salute again and again and again to our Mothers and to my fellow single Mothers.

We are the epitome of beauty and strength. Of courage and wisdom and gentleness, all rolled into one.

We wear the grace of the crown and the glory of armour.

We are queens and kings all at the same time.👑👸🤴

Happy Mother's Day!❤️
