The song "Salamat" by Yeng Constantino has been played in 2006 I believe. It's a lovely song and though I appreciate the transformation of Yeng Constantino through the years, this song is truly beautiful melodically and lyrically. It's also very applicable for those who have been heartbroken- both by love and by death. I could relate to the latter, or maybe both coz I've lost my Papa- experiencing his loving ways through his presence will never happen again when he left us. I couldn't help myself but cry while I heartwrenchingly reminisce the days we have with my Pops. Regrets, regrets... Everything I've done, words I've spoken and all the things I've shown were never enough.
May this song be a help to you as well in easing the pain of losing a loved one.
Salamat Pa!
Papa

Celebrating My Mom's Birthday in 2014
Celebrating my mom's birthday has always been a bit painful ever since Papa has left us. When Papa was still alive, there have been a few birthdays where we were not really able to celebrate it in an extravagant way due to financial constraints though we were happy appreciating the blessings of yet another year. When someone you love is gone, having your birthday without that loved one beside you is truly difficult. There's just some kind of natural pain that cannot be eased and a void that cannot be filled even if you're having a luxurious party without that person...
We celebrated my mom's birthday simply at home. A few of yummy Filipino dishes were served. Halo-halo ice cream and the Conti's Mango Bravo are a staple. A week after her birthday, hubby and I decided to give her an all expense-paid trip to Subic! She was very excited when I told her about it. We booked a premier suite with breakfast for her and Ate Lita and a deluxe suite for me, hubby and baby at the Subic Waterfront Resort and Hotel. We stayed there after spending a night at hubby's house with his family. That's our 2014 birthday treat for Mama and we had so much fun! Yet all the time we were wishing that we have Papa with us to have a some rockin' good time.
We miss you Papa! Thanks for visiting mama in her dreams on the day of her birthday. You truly love us! :)
