A Wedding Made in Heaven


I still have the royal wedding fever, highly amazed by the 'love, love, love' spirit captured from the wedding of Prince Harry to Meghan Markle last 19 May 2018.  It is indeed a Cinderella story for Meghan!

While watching it on livestreaming, I could not hold back my tears. Here are two (2) people in love who are both brave to fill the vacuum in their lives and move forward in life as one, on same page, to leave an impact in the world.

Looking at Prince Harry, one can tell how he misses his mother Princess of Wales Diana in this important event and how he adores the woman of his life! He disrupts everything by courageously marrying a divorcee three (3) years older than he is, 36 years old. His mother died at that age, and it is at this age his wife will start her life in a new world with him.

The Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle was very beautiful and calm from the beginning until the end of the event, which made her shine more. The simple but elegant dress made her look regal and her strength as a woman was shown in her bare shoulders. How she stayed calm and focused could be attributed to how she was raised and trained in her career. I think yoga and 5-day vegan foods also helped.

Her mother, Doria, cried many times. Who would not be? If it were a dream, she'd wish that nobody would wake her up. If it were a movie shooting, she'd wish the director would not shout 'Cut!". She stood by herself with no one from her nor ex-husband's family -- and she did it with strength and grace. I love how she stayed humbled despite the unbelievable height of sky reached by her daughter.

For me, they made the right decision not to bring more family members not because they did not love them but to cut troubles in the bud, knowing how some paparazzi media did that harmed some celebrities (including Lady Di) and their families.

How Prince Charles walked Meghan to his son, is admirable. I remember an article about how he desired to have a daughter with wife Diana. How she stood as a father to Meghan, for sure, would be one of his memorable events as he would not experience walking a daughter to hand over to her groom-to-be.

It matters a lot for both Meghan and mother Doria to get energy from Prince Charles by holding his arm. They have too much pains on their plates and that magical moment wiped those pains out. Imagine how brave they are in responding to the call of destiny.

The universe prepared both the lovers to lead a greater path together. They are a match made in heaven. They are both ripe for the divine union of souls.

There are some bashers saying that Meghan is an actress and just playing the game well. Time will tell. But as of the moment, I believe that Meghan truly loves Prince Harry. She is an actress, yes, but she is also a human being. She deserves to be happy after all those pains which the world knows not.

Her battlefield as a feminist, is entirely different from her husband. This is what created her to be a magnet that would attract a prince. And this is what the prince exactly needs to wed inside and out of the monarchy, the solid tradition and the dynamic changing world, and more to unveil.

Prince Harry longed for a mother -- and Doria was there. Meghan longed for a father -- and Prince Charles was there.  Their longing for their mother and father, respectively, will make them better parents to their children and will inspire them share more light for lonely children in darkness.

May 70 years of marriage of grandparents Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip Mountbatten, Duke of Edinburg, inspire them both to honor the value of marital vows, made more meaningful with the song "Stand by Me".

I am happy that I witnessed this momentous event of a lifetime. Passionately massive!

"Wasting of Women's Talents Must Cease"

Here I am in a four-cornered room, thinking of many things that I can do considering my talents, but I cannot utilize to the fullest due to some obstacles which are not just in the mind but real. I am woman -- I know I have a power inside me yet I feel vulnerable. There is an interesting article published in Gulf News, "In the Middle East, Momentum for Women Must Pick Up Speed" written by Shaikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, dated 31 May 2018. Very timely, indeed, that I saw this article few minutes back. I am inspired to read similar write-ups promoting advocacy on importance of empowering women by giving them solid support. Can we quantify wasted women's talents? Maybe we can in terms of lost opportunities. Or can we enumerate wasted women's talents if we cannot quantify them? There are women who are full-time mothers and housewives, either by choice or by tradition or both. We know that being so is indeed a tiring unpaid job for many women. For some they ...

Of Ginger-Lemon Water, and A/C Off

  And so I am now again drinking a lot of hot lemon tea with ginger. It will help improve my health immunity .  WebMD.com says, " Lemon is a rich source of vitamin C and antioxidants, which both have immunity-boosting properties. Ginger also has immunity-boosting properties and can guard against some bacteria." Am coughing when my back is sweating. The air conditioner is switched off again. If you are in the Gulf area, even if it is December it is still hot. There are times when it is even hotter inside my partitioned room with a window facing the sun, no building near ours to block the scorching heat -- than the actual temperature outside. I have a temperature app in my mobile phone and I regularly check it. When I switch on the air conditioner, somebody else switches it off. (I remember when we transferred to the our previous flat and I was told that the A/C was centralized, 24/7 on. I was grateful because the heat of human bodies, the lights, their gadgets -- laptops and m...

'Hotelcation' and More

My youngest daughter surprised me with the good news that she was allowed to go on Eid vacation for some days. She badly needed rest and relaxation for a work-life balance. It was very hot here in the UAE when we got blissfully reunited at 2 PM.  It was Eid so most hotels nearby were either fully booked, or if not, their room rate boards showed AED800/day +/-. My frugal daughter stepped back when she saw 'towering' figures. A I watched my Buninay eating halohalo in our meeting place, a restaurant serving Filipino foods, I held my tears back. She ordered 'mixed-with-everything' fried rice, grilled squid and  kinilaw  (raw fish with vinegar, chili and chopped onions).  Memories of her childhood flooded in my mind. How time flies! My then-baby-who-is-now-a-lady wanted to spoil me. Felt truly blessed beyond words. We hopped to Seattle's Best in the mall near the mosque. While indulging myself with my favorite Cinnabon bites and strawberry smoothies, and my ol...
