I really felt so down today, Today i received a very shocking news to me and to all the brethren of Iglesia Ni Cristo All over the world, Our Executive Minister Brother Erano G. Manalo has passed away yesterday afternoon. But it was just this morning that they announced it on the national TV. This was the message that was aired this morning by Brother Bienvenido Santiago.

“Ikinalulungkot naming ipabatid sa buong Iglesia at sa buong sambayanan na ang tagapamahalang pangkalahatan ng Iglesia ni Cristo, ang kapatid na Eraño G. Manalo, ay pinagpahinga na ng Diyos. Pumanaw siya sa kanyang tahanan sa ganap na 3:53 kahapon Agosto 31, 2009, sa gulang na 84 taon

“Hinihiling namin na patnubayan ang buong Iglesia sa panahon ng matinding dalamhati (We request that the entire Church be guided during this time of severe grief),” Santiago said in a brief statement on television

Brother Erano Manalo died of cardiopulmonary arrest. This day was such sad day for me and my family.

Do you cry in front of your kids?

Today is one of the days that i really don't like, Today i kind of felt pretty sad about certain things that was happening in the past few weeks, and i can't tell my loved ones about it. I know that every once in a while they read my blog, so sorry sister and brothers, I'm not going into details.

I always show to my family how happy i am for all the blessings that God has given me and My family. Which is very true I'm so blessed. But there are people that are trying to pull me down and make my days so bad. I'm always trying my very best to help my family, my kids and my husband,and i know that I'm not perfect. but i never stop trying to work hard and even harder than i thought. I usually get affected or be emotional by negative things that people say but i never show it. I just keep it to myself and then i know it will pass and then i forget about it. but there are just people who never get's tired to bring me down.

The hardest part? is i don't want my kids to see me crying, I don't want them to see that I'm weak too. It's not always that i can smile with grace.I'm human too. I just hope this feeling subside very very soon,
