Araw Mo
by Ate Nina

Ang araw na 'to, ay araw mo,
Pagdating mo sa ating mundo,
Natatandaan, di malilimutan,
Kailan man, kailan man

Lahat nagbago sa araw na 'to,
Pagdating mo sa buhay ko,
Lahat sumaya, buhay ko'y nag-iba
Happy birthday

Ang saya ng mundo, ngayong ikaw ay narito, oh
I wish you a happy birthday

Ang araw na 'to, ay araw mo,
Pagdating mo sa ating mundo,
Natatandaan, di malilimutan

Refrain
I wish you a happy birthday
Happy birthday

Ang araw na 'to, ay araw mo,
Pagdating mo sa ating mundo,
Natatandaan, di malilimutan

Refrain
I wish you a happy birthday
Happy birthday

What Makes Good Mothers?

It is a pertinent question whose answer cannot be contained within a few words. Mothers comprise of a bundle of emotions that sometimes defy reason. So this goes out to all the mothers who have kept awake all night with their sick toddlers in their arms, constantly uttering those compassionate words, "It's OK honey, Mommy's here."

- For those who show up at work with milk stains on their dress and diapers in their handbags.

- For those mothers who cannot restrain tears from trickling down their cheeks when they hold their babies for the first time in their arms.

- For the mothers who give birth to babies they'll never see.

- For the mothers who gave homes to babies and gifted them a family.

- For the mothers who defy all odds just to watch kids perform and repeat to themselves "That's my child!!"

- For the mothers who taught their children to tie the shoelaces even before they started going to school.

- For the mothers who incontinently turn their heads when they hear the word "Mom",
even though they know that their kids are nowhere around.

- For all those mothers whose heart aches to watch her son or daughter disappear down the street, walking to school alone for the very first time.

- For the mothers of the Survivors, and the mothers who sat in front of their TVs in horror, clinging to their child who just arrived from school safely.

So, this is meant for all the young and aged mothers, working mothers and housewives, married mothers and the single mothers, those with money and without and for those without whom life would have been insufferable. Wish you a very Happy Mother's Day!!

Mom, Happy Mother’s Day! I Love You!!!
