*You are the Patron of Cebu and the Philippines, *We come to you; *You have made *extraordinary wonders through Your Miraculous Image *in these chosen Islands, *remember us.

We beg You, *Senor Santo Nino, *illumine our understanding, *kindle our will, *cleanse our body, *sanctify our soul. *We wish what You wish, *because You wish, *as You wish, *as long as You wish.

Grant us, Senor Santo Nino, *that We may feel *love toward You, *be strict toward ourselves *be zealous toward our fellowmen, *and rightly despise *the things of the world. *Help us *to overcome sensuality *with strict discipline, *avariciousness with generosity, *anger with gentleness, *indolence with zealous industry. *Make us wise in counsel, *courageous in danger, *patient in adversity, *humble in prosperity.

Teach us, *dear Santo Nino, *how worthless is the world, *how sublime is heaven, *how brief is time, *how long is eternity. *Grant us, lastly, that We may remember You, *adore You, *love You, *and serve You *here on earth *that We may be happy with You *forever and ever in Heaven. Amen.

The Kingdom, full of history and culture, with wealth extracted from its oil bounty. They said that it was blessed by the Almighty for its people thru this oil.

As our days and months had become longer with this place, we became a part of it., we became part of the sand and oil. The frequent sand storm, the air we breathe with the warm wind came from the desert; our blood has now the spirit of the desert. Sand, covering the sight in every direction on what you see, dust full of desert sand, covering blindly all your personal things, including your meals.

Plastic from oil, most of the plastic products we use here are came from a raw material which are waste from oil refinery. We eat using plastic containers, we buy with plastic bags, almost every thing you can see in the garbage bin are made from plastic, our body as now partly plastic. Some people here like pinoy had also now a plastic mentality.

Pollution from industries are also part of the air we breathe, industries are rapidly growing in the city. Hope people in here knows that we are slowly killing our body, and our spirit.

How can you overcome homesickness if you miss someone special. This video is one of her favorite. Her mama Grace noticed that she is trying hard to learn how to sing this song. She could be one of a singing sensation for us, as she idolized the singer of this song. Play this YouTube version of “A Very Special love” sang by Sarah Geronimo. Soon, my Fia would be one of this singers fans and follower as a singer.
