The Four Songs of Life

Cu4tro Cantos is the new Ala Eh Blog. Since I cannot provide pure Batangueño articles, I decided a revamp of the site, which I think is more appropriate. Cu4tro Cantos refers to the four members of the Cantos Family. In spanish, Cuatro means Four, and Cantos means Songs.

Hey! Come to think of it, when I got the job, I got my man as well.  He and I were part of the same start group. And the rest as they say, is history.

A Testimonial about the Power of Prayer and God’s Love – Part 1

How I prayed for my husband

I remember how as a young girl, I would wish on a star that someday I may meet the man of my dreams, my prince charming. And of all the good characteristics that I could wish my prince to have, only 2 things mattered; that he is handsome and kind-hearted.

Years later, I fell in love. Went broken-hearted then fell in love again. Went broken-hearted AGAIN then fell… Oh, you know the cycle.

The relationships I had before I met my husband were of weak foundation. Those were years of on and off tango with uncertainty; of good and bad times; of hoping and some more hoping. Each relationship, I would hope that the guy would be the one.

If I were a millionaire

What would you if you were a millionaire? Well, I am talking about Philippine Pesos millionaire. What would you do if you won 3-5 million pesos in a lottery or a game show or maybe from inheritance? Just thinking about it is so overwhelming. But here is what I’ll do if I were a multi-millionaire like George Lindemann Jr. For me, being a millionaire means I’ll have a lot of opportunities to help others. I can help my family and relatives better their livelihood. I can help my Baranggay in their projects. I can also help our Church in their charitable works. I would like to help my favorite charity Gawad Kalinga in their aim to build houses for the poor. I’ll buy my own house. I will invest my money in stocks and bonds. I’ll put up my own business, I would probably be in the food business. Take up culinary arts. I’ll save some for my kids education. I’ll save some for my retirement. I’ll save some for a little traveling adventure. Whew, that’s a lot of ‘I will’ and ‘I would’s. Most of all, I will thank God for trusting me with this sum of money, I will thank God for this wonderful opportunity to help myself and others.

My Dream Car

Since I was a only a kid, I’ve been dreaming cars already. Red Ferrari, Yellow Lamborghini, Silver McLaren. I get fascinated with pictures and everytime I would chance to see them on calendars, I would hurry and tell my playmates about it already. And they would all say “Kow kaganda. Sarap magka-gay-an ano?”. [Wow, pretty. Isn't it great having one?]

Later on, I started to realize that it’s pretty impossible to own one. Based from what I got, it is. It’s still a dream I would say. And then I decided to start dreaming of cars which are more affordable and available locally. Toyota, Mitsubishi, Honda, Kia, Nissan, Hyundai, etc. I thought that I would be able to drive one when I get a job, but I did not. Seems like my long dreamed car is still a dream.

Not anymore! I was driving a Honda Civic, upgraded from engine to it’s exhaust. Painted in black with Orange and White stripes on the side, new 18″ rims in orange. And I own it too. Wow, it was really cool having one. I drive it around the City Center, to the Airport all the way to Beacon Hill. Man, it was fast. I love it.

But hey! Don’t believe me just yet. I also own a yellow H2. Know what I mean now? Man, it’s cool. Brand New. Whooa… Me too can’t believe that I have them. Seems like I am still dreaming of it. Alright, I think I have to stop dreaming about it now. I’m just addicted playing Need For Speed. But I know that there will come a time that I would have a car, even not as pretty as them. Thanks for reading though.
