SHALLOW WATERS (going swimming Ninang?) I think too much. My husband always tells me that. I think it's mostly a girl problem, though there are some exceptions. We tend to project ourselves and all situations to the future. We tend to "sit" on a thought, an emotion, worry, anxiety. One thought leads to another, lingering, … Continue reading SHALLOW WATERS
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU'RE GROWN UP? (When you grow up Ninang?) I'm grown up (surely Ninang!). Am I who I wanted to be? Are you who you said you would like to become? What did we want to be when we we were small? Are you still hoping to "grow" up? … Continue reading WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU’RE GROWN UP?
NINANG PONDERINGS 2 1. For whom work is done will either lead to frustration or gratefulness. For any toil will never be enough for man, and any work will not significantly add to God's. (RTS- reminder to self🤓) "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of … Continue reading NINANG PONDERINGS 2
NINANG PONDERINGS 1. The more we can and the more we "think" we know, the more we demand of others.

Do not condemn, and you … Continue reading NINANG PONDERINGS

On my way to answer an emergency medical call, I was detoured to another direction due to a marathon around the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) complex early Sunday morning. I thought the new route … Continue reading WAY TO GO! (Where Ninang?)
MORE! We don't have enough. We can't be content with enough. Enough is not enough. We need more. Spouses separate. Friendship ends. A child leaves home. Trainees quit. A person takes his life. An employee steals. Lovers elope. A mother curses. Unforgiveness. Enough!!! They need more. More effort to show appreciation. More patience. More understanding. … Continue reading MORE!

Questions and uncontrolled reactions for fear of people close to me getting infection bring misery to the same people I'm concerned about. I mean how many times do I wash my hands when I was a kid? When did I avoid … Continue reading DON’T TOUCH!
ALL ABOUT little HEARTS There is so much to learn about hearts. More so little hearts. I just attended a world conference showcasing a variety (and multitude!) of topics about diseases affecting the heart of children. From the fetus to the "almost" adult. From genes that can lead to sudden cardiac death to innovative interventions … Continue reading ALL ABOUT little HEARTs
SILENT APPLAUSE We thrive in affirmation. We love to see, hear, feel, even taste (!) affirmation. Nodding heads, commendations, pats on the back, meal treats (!)- they bring us addicting satisfaction and fulfillment. We crave for it, and rejoice in it, whether we admit it or not. And doubt is sown in the absence of … Continue reading SILENT APPLAUSE
