It's been some years since I started this blog. Supposedly, it was only to share my plight as a cancer patient and survivor but over the years it has somehow evolved into something personal about my life and my family. So really glad to have met you all wonderful people out there. Someone commented once that he liked the title of this blog, Dreams and Escapes. Dream on, there are more things in life than we really think. Be happy, you only live once. Sometimes you also need an escape from the vicissitudes of life and this blog helps me cope. Welcome. Feel free to leave your comments, I do welcome them.

What A Surprise!
I can’t believe I haven’t touched and visited this blog like forever (an exaggeration of course) but I was so focused on updating my main blog so I forgot about this. Early this morning while I was watering the plants, I looked up at our jackfruit trees and saw this. I was hoping I could […]

It’s actually a prayer Pete like saying Our Father when we pray the rosary. Our dead deserve that promised eternal light.

I remember this time last year, it was such a difference to anything we do in England, it was a memorable couple of days though.

Yes, do you remember the holidays and the people either going home to the province or visiting the graves of dead relatives here in Metro Manila? They see relatives as well that they haven’t seen in a long time.

We went to the cemetery and I was surprised with the party atmosphere. Then the family decided that we would go to the beach randomly so that was the next day sorted.

One of my best friend’s birthday is today as is her husband’s. I think it is a good opportunity for me to thank God for her and to remember those who have died. A special day here too.

On Sunday the cantor sang all the names of the departed from the previous year. We also have a garden of lights with each person’s name on them.

That was nice. Here, they just read all the names of the mass offerers for thanksgiving, for those who are sick and relatives who have departed. You can just imagine the long list.
