(Lola) Nanay, Uncle Alain, Frances(7yrs old) and Angelo(5yrs old) playing cards (Unggoy-unggoy).
Nanay: Ang ma-ungoy ra ba kay mukanta or musayaw.
Angelo (looking at his cards -daghan pa kaayo): Pwede sad mamatid!
Wahahaha
God didn’t promise days without pain,
laughter without sorrow or sun without rain.
But God did promise strength for the day,
comfort for the tears and a light for the way.
And for all who believe in His kingdom above.
He answers their faith with everlasting love.
This is a short poem printed on my desk clock which has become a permanent fixture on my study table. A gift given to us sometime in the past by someone I don’t even remember who. But whoever that someone is, I thank him/her for this somehow gives me comfort everytime I come home depressed from a not so great performance on long exams, or when life in general seems to be too hard to understand.
