I miss you Shenny
Favorable thing that I have a blog because in here I can voice out how I felt. I would said maybe this month is my bad luck. A matter of one month I got two pets passed away. It is a sad part because I bought a clothing for her. She had a mini skirt, anklet and sleeveless. What will I do to that clothes because she passed away. I really cannot help to cry hard. This is it, how can I persevere despite the pain. I guess it is a dog's harvest. My lesson learned is that, not being selfish and always ready for acceptance.
This picture took after her last breath.
My very saddest day today huhuhu
I woke up early today due to a call from my family in Pinas. My sister called me because she let me know that one of my pets passed away. Her name is shenny. I cannot help cry hard, it really hurts.
I have not recovered yet. Last July 14th, my pet named bandit passed away too. Just for this month, my two pets passed away. Bandit is from here and shenny from Pinas. My pets are like my kids, I love them very much. In the sense, they make me happy too.
I still do not know if I can work today because supposedly my duty is ten in the morning but originally seven in the morning. I do not have the mode to work due to what had happened for shenny.

Just Wondering
It is really funny that I have a blog now. Honestly, I am lazy to write something. With this blog of mine it is just for fun and leisure if am on my days off. With that, blog is an online personal journal with reflections, comments and such. They shared their everyday lives what they had done. My own opinion, it is like there is no privacy especially if it is very personal you shared it online in the sense I know what is blog means hahaha. Am I weird? opppssss! But, I really understand and appreciate for those people. Anyway, it is not a problem though. I salute for those people for being confident.

My bad day at work
I just got home from work today and I felt exhausted. Maybe because I was affected what had happened. There were five people got fired today. All of them are close to me. I pity for them because they really need to work. What can I say, it is not that simple without a job. If we could not earn money, how could we get daily supplies especially the food. This is what I call perseverance.
Well... that is life. You can learn from experiences on how to persevere. You have to weigh what is good and thinking the future that might happen.
I am blessed
I got up at ten in the morning because I went to church. I played drums for our worship service. I really love playing musical instruments. I always look forward every Sunday because that is the only time I can play drums. Though, I have a guitar and keyboard at home but I do not have drums. I am a member of the worship team at our church.
Furthermore, our pastor at church he is really a good preacher by God's grace. I felt blessed the word of God today. I will share what I heard from the sermon at our church. THE REALITY OF PRAYER! Praying is loyalty to God. Prayer is also a vital work and from the heart. Jesus our divine teacher of prayer according to Luke 4:42. Thus, our model prayer is in the context of Matthew 6:9-13.
Therefore, prayer is really important in our lives. In everything we do, always ask God for his guidance.

My Pets in Pinas!
I really missed my pets at pinas. My love to them are like they are my babies hehehe. Their names are: daphnee, shenny, mookey, kwing-kwing and badikdik. Am so excited to meet them again when I go home soon.
Welcome to the family Badikdik!
I am so thankful that I have a new member of the family, and her name is badikdik. She is cute hehehe.
She loves to project at the camera. Thus, she ate a lot I guess it is very natural for a pig.

Music is the language of the soul
Music is like a medicine that heals our wounded soul. Everybody likes music but some prefer mellow music, classic music & etc. I asked this hundred times what is the reality of music. Its not that I am just listening, it is also an inspiration and learned from it so here it goes;
Philosophy,” said Plato, “is the highest music.” He could with equal accuracy have said that music is the highest Philosophy. How else can we explain the deep feeling that Plato’s teacher , the redoubtable Socrates, had for music: the wisest of Greeks, he took to practicing the music of Dionysus while he lay in prison, to ease his mind.The cultures of antiquity believed that music could bring about a renewal of the divine balance that ideally encourage human life; that it could restore the harmony of the human psyche in times of distress. Indeed, the ancients regarded all forms of sickness –mental or physical – as being ultimately musical problems.A sick man, it was thought, had lost his inner strength: his harmony of being was said to have slipped from synchrony with the laws of the cosmos which was precisely the reason why music was used to bring about a patient’s realignment with the cosmos in its form of universal sound.Even more than in medicinal herbs, the ancients placed their faith in the healing powers of music to cure illness. Music was used as a key healing method by the ancient Hindus, Chinese, Persians, Egyptians, and Greeks; indeed, Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey celebrate the moments when the spread of a plague is halted by sacred hymns and Odysseus’ wounded knee is healed by the “chanting of lays.”It goes without saying that music was also used to heal emotional disorders by our forebears. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, often took his mental patients to the Temple of Asclepius , to make them listen to healing music.To the sage Pythagoras, good music was consonant with the rhythm of life. Paracelsus used the metaphor of ‘musical medicine’ to indicate a form of therapeutic music composed to deal with specific anomalies: this prefigured, in several ways, the idea of medieval minstrels playing music for patients in convalescence, fostering their recovery. Why, not too long ago- in the 19th century – music was much used in a curative capacity , at an institution for the mentally ill near Naples, giving credence to William Congreve famous epigram:”Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast.”Music according to scientific thought , has a
tranquilizer effect on patients – especially when they are tense, anxious and high – strung. And, it is completely safe , without the deleterious side – effects of the drugs now in vogue. But how can one beat the ‘pill’ industry, with its influence over the healing profession? Yet, modern music therapists have not lost hope. They are a small band, yes – but, they have brought about a change.They are pioneers in a materialistic world , being convinced about the potential capability of music to affect a wide variety of cures, in conjunction with, or apart from, conventional medical treatment. As a universal curative , music has the power to affect the human organism at the deepest levels ; it can heal the cause underlying the disease, rather than merely suppressing the visible symptoms as is often the case with most forms of modern medical treatment. Even in an age of high- technology miracles, this gift of antiquity can more than hold its own: it has been found to be efficacious in alleviating the pain of a host of illnesses ranging from asthma, tuberculosis, cancer, brain damage to headaches, heart disease hypertension, depression anxiety and hysteria. Some behavioral psychologists have even reported how the mentally disturbed have spent quiet nights, without sleeping pills, under the influence of recorded music. If music can bring about about such seemingly miraculous effects at the outer level, it can also move minds in more subtle ways: played in certain modes, it can instigate violence and exploit the motives and weaknesses of its listeners, whipping them into states of frenzy and hatred.But, equally, it can be soothing to the senses, invigorating its listeners with a notion of the good, filling them with the purposes of the noble and the sacted. It can help create an atmosphere that is conducive to philosophical reflection. Ultimately, it can serve as a path into the spitit; by healing and calming the outer surface of the personality, it can propel you into the discovery of your self. In so doing , it can act towards a gentle but nonetheless complete reorganization of the self. As Claudio Monteverdi, the first great composer of operatic music, phrased it in his timeless maxim: “The end of all good music is to affect the soul."
