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. ❤

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

PDU30 2nd State Of The Nation Address👊

Image
Today is President Rodrigo Roa Duterte's 2nd State Of The Nation Address or SONA. As expected his speech is long and entertaining to the delight of the live audience and those wathching on tv like me. He addressed about his accomplishments & what are the most important things his administration should prioritize such as elimination of destructive mining, creating jobs, healthcare and the traffic problem as well as putting a stop on rebellion, insurgencies, terrorism and the passage of the death penalty bill. He also addresed the nation on those that needs further strenghtening such as the 'war on drugs', criminalities and corruption.  But the truth is I don't really need to hear what he's done or continue to do and what he accomplished coz over 85% of the Filipino people felt the change he promised during the election & year after he sat into office we are satisfied with what he is doing to our country and we trust him that what he does and will do is

My Bet For Miss World Philippines 2017 👑

Image
Miss World Philippines 2017 pageant night is tommorow and for the first time since 2011 this pageant doesn't have a sure winner coz there is at least 4 to 5 who can win the major title of Miss World Philippines 2017! The other 3 minor crowns are oh well minor & I can't even memorize what they are. The MWP has a new pageant director Arnold Vegafria a popular talent manager in The Philippines since Cory Quirino decided to let go of the Miss World Philippines franchise after she felt as well as the overwhelming majority thinks Catriona Gray was deliberately robbed from the Miss World 2016 pageant last year which caused the Miss World Organization to lose their appeal worldwide especially to the Filipinos. But Julia Morley, the current Miss World Stephanie del Valle and Mister World Rohit, including the grandson of Nelson Mandela  & the rest of the Miss World Organization are ass kissing us here in The Philippines for winning the hearts of the BIGGEST pageant fans in t
