I am still reading a blog from a friend’s wife. I am actually crying as I write this. It is hard to discribe the feeling right now. I intend to write a better blog entry for this later but right now, I want to post a primer. Sometimes, I tend to ask why but perhaps same as with the blogger’s statement, things do happen for a reason!
The link of the blog I wish to feature is embedded in the image below and I had to seek my friend’s permission to write something about this. It’s been quite awhile and it’s only now that I was able to learn about this. I do not want to say that this is a predicament or a problem because in a different perspective, it should not be treated this way. Some things happen for a purpose.
The blog that I have taken a screenshot of below is a journal not just of a regular web enthusiast but of a mother and a wife trying to best life’s day to day challenges amidst all odds side by side with his husband and their Little Princess. http://chiquerose.blogspot.com and http://checjournal.blogspot.com are journals of a simple family and the great reality they have to face that can indeed touch lives.
Just when you thought you have all the reason to quit life because your love life is a mess or that your career is not going anywhere or that you simply cannot get all the luck in life… Well, pause for a while and see how Chique Rose, Mannix and their Little Princess Yvonne has tried to hold on and win all the struggles they have with life one day at a time… with a smile!

Note: I intend to write more and have this story shared. Anyone from ABS-CBN’s Maalaala Mo Kaya or GMA 7′s Magpakailanman? My friend Mannix wanted this done as well not because of the assistance that they can get out of this that can be of great help for their Little Princess but because their story can open hearts and minds and somehow touch lives. I do not know how extensive my readership is but I know that this blog would by itself reach out.
Just today, I am Yvonne’s Number 1 Fan!!! I asked her daddy to whisper to her that she has a new friend and that’s Tito Ryan. Thanks Mannix! I always thought of you as the biggest clown that we have at the office. I never thought that you were bigger than who you are! Thanks Chique for your wonderful journal! Same as with the late Amiel Alcantara of Ateneo Grade School, I am thankful for your Little Princess for making me realize alot of things and for making me value my fatherhood more than ever! Now I have to sleep beside my son always!!!

We may not know each other in person but your blog has indeed touched me and my outlook on parenting and on life in general. Your husband is a good man. I never thought that more than a big clown and a big labor activist (parang ako), he also ia a big dad with a big heart. This story has given me the chance to reflect and to be a better person same as the story of the late Amiel Alcantara or Ateneo Grade School.
Well, you know what? Sometimes people tend to conclude that destiny has been so unfair to them. Akala mo pasan na nila ang mundo. We often neglect and ignore what others have been longing and wishing for. Sometimes, we tend to complain that life is hard and that we all wanted to quit but then… your story is something that could change this view. You have been carrying more yet you face life one day at a time with a smile! Thus, the load is made lighter because alot of people loves you and God has been carrying your family as well all thoughout this journey. At any rate, you and Mannix has been very strong! I admire you for that!
I may not have an extensive readership but I am using this blog along with Twitter, Yahoo Messenger and Blogger to share the story of your Little Princess and continue to touch lives. When I asked Mannix to whisper to your daughter Yvonne that she now have Tito Ryan as her new friend and number 1 fan, it indeed came from the bottom of my heart. I cried for your Little Angel because I have a 9-year old son as well. We have many stories with similar theme but what makes this story special is the fact that Mannix is a good friend and I have seen how he kept all these and braved all the struggles to make things normal.
Anyway, keep holding on. Every step that you and your family and Yvonne takes, please do remember that we will always be there. Tell your Little Princess as well that she is the most wonderful gift and the most wonderful girl we have ever known! Thank you Chique!

Yeah! I may not have the network to reach out to people who can indeed help so I am using this blog in a good way to share their story and touch lives. Somehow, this would bring a meaning to why God gave us such Mannix’ Little Princess and their story of love and hope.
I just got some contact details from some networks. Well, who knows. I do hope that fellow bloggers will help me on this endeavor! At any rate, having known such, I am thankful that at some point, I am able to better myself as a father. I was able to value my family especially my son more. Minsan lang silang maging bata ika nga. Thanks Peewee!!!
