Farewell, my dearest Kota!

Unconditional affection it was!

Here is to you, my dearest, friendliest, and cuddliest KOTA!

Only the good times together with you I will remember, for your memories should linger as compassionate, loving, and tender.

My heartfelt gratitude for the happiness and comfort you gave me through the years we were together. I feel lucky and privileged to have you as my closest soul mate, play fellow and bossom friend. 

And yes, when I was sick, you gave me strength, ardor, and the reason to be on my feet again. 

You were one of the reasons why am I standing still! Though sad of your sudden departure, I am somehow grateful that I knew deep in my heart that you did not suffer. Awful those moments watching how you tried to sip some water but you couldn`t!

The helplessness I felt was dreadful and heartbreaking!

You would wake me up in the morning before my alarm went off by tapping me directly unto my face with your moistened nose and mouth, with your saliva pouring down your lips when you were so excited. Not that hard, but not that gentle either, giving me that "needed shower" that would ignite my day. 


Your presence is being felt, and will stay. You might be physically absent but your spirit remains and I can feel your gentle and sincere affection every day.

Please do not cry ever again, Kota, my dearest. I have you ..... here!

The First Message of 2019

"The care and sensitivity you show to others will be returned to you" - was the message of my first Fortune Cookie I opened last Tuesday, January 01, 2019.

I do expect nothing for my past deeds in return. I rather live frugally on surprise.

But on second thought, why not? Returns would not be bad, and I can pay it forward. I would need it for a project I want to start on and push through for a needy family in Quirangay, Camalig, Albay this 2019.

To my mind, I have to try because I know that I am the only hope of Margie, a deserving student, who is forced to give up her college classes to take care of her mentally-ill mother.  An additional burden of being harrassed by her landlord makes her daily life more difficult to live.  

I have to lend a hand. I am lucky enough to be in Germany. Here I have some friends who could also extend help. I just need to say a word.

The urge to help is persistent.
