Goodbye Felicidad Cantor Comot Sila


My nanny Felicidad  Cantor Comot Sila who's also been the nanny of my mother & her siblings & my cousin died early morning today in her retirement home in the province. She's never married and dedicated her entire life serving our family emotionally & even financially. She is probably the most loyal, dedicated and wisest person I have ever known. She only finished Grade 2 Elementary and can't read & write but she's wise and witty. She's good in business as welll operating her own sari-sari store business while working as a nanny & the head of the household & she's selfless as all of her earnings are given to her relatives & even us. She is one of those truly rare person who loves selflessly and one of the very few who truly love me without conditions even though we argue sometimes but her actions feel louder than words & she's been truly genuine to the people around her & her love & care for my family is sincere ever since. 

When she finally retired from work we bought her back to her hometown province in January 2015 and the same year of August she came back to our house & on November desame year she went home and that was the last time I saw her.

Words and dedication are not enough to celebrate the life of a fantastic person that she is and for a start I dedicate this rare song to her coz she likes it when she first heard it last January 2015 & asked for a copy or cd of it. I regret not being able to grant that simple wish but I everytime I played this song it reminded me of her. By the time she died I couldn't sleep unaware that she's already gone I was awake trying to find the asteroid 'The Rock' from the skies & I don't wanna miss it coz it only happens once in a lifetime. Like my auntie Peling as we'd like to call her she is a very special rare person that only comes to our lives once & now that she's gone I'd like to think of her as one of the twinkling stars in the vast cosmos. This music and the moon and the stars and her rarity as a fine human being is so fitting to each other. She may be uneducated and poor but she is more precious to me than most people I have ever known simply bcoz her work ethics and the love she have shown me & to my family is truly one of a kind & no amount of wealth can replace the love and affection she had given us all the decades she worked for us & for all of us she is family and will live forever forever in our deepest hearts and cheerish her memories for that is the least thing we could to her. 

And why I wrote this in red? Bcoz red is her favorite color. ❤

November Traditional Birthstone: Imperial Topaz

Image
T opaz is the traditional birthstone for November & it is one of the most popular gem varieties. Although topaz comes in all the colors of the rainbow from one of my personal favorite the very affordable blue topaz which is considered a semi-precious stone  to the very rare imperial topaz varieties considered as precious stones that comes in many different shades of colors except blue & topaz are durable enough to be worn on rings with a hardness of 8 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness. However only a yellow to golden yellow to orange varieties are known as the true birthstone for November. The jewelty industry recently added semi-precious stone Citrine as part of the November birthstone but it has no magical powers to November babies. Topaz comes in many different parts of the world but the finest imperial topaz tends to be exclusively found in fewer places like Russia & Brazil. Alot people confused topaz with citrine and they do have an uncanny similarity e

Practical Materialism💸

Am I Materialistic? That's a wonderful question ladies & gentlemen! Despite my recent aquisition of this extremely rare vivid orange diamond from Leibish & Co. I don't think I am materialistic  because materialistic people only care the most about expensive things and buying them for the sake of their image. Like people who buys a overpriced luxury leather goods or branded items like Havaiinas rubber flip flops over regular rubber flip flops or iPhones versus regular smartphones which work pretty much desame and you still can't fuck both, or people who only takes care of imported expensive breed of dogs or cats and totally avoid regular ordinary pets or those who only wear branded clothes and underwear like Victoria's Secret lingeries which people would never see anyway. These idiots are the real materialistic because they are concerned of their image! They buy unecessary things or spend their money to feed their bruised & fake egos and then show them

Lost Ancient Philippine Goldsmith Technique

Image
Last June  I blogged  about the lost ancient goldsmithing technique of ancient filipinos that no modern jewelers could replicate that are being displayed at The Bangko Sentral Ng Pilipinas Museum and Ayala Museum in Makati.  Today there is a revival of that lost jewelry making technique but no matter how hard modern jewelers tried to replicate the old ways of jewelry making they cannot copy an exact replica coz they've been missing something that we no longer have in modern times and I have this feeling that the ancient filipino goldsmiths are using ancient alien technology to make elaborate jewelries.  The granulation technique of the ancient filipino jewelries is the best in the history of mankind! Even better than the Etruscans. The tiny well rounded symmetrical granules must have been made by some laser and anti gravity thingy of some sort of  lost ancient alien technology. The fact that the ancient designs could not be totally copied by even he best of modern
