A BLESSED DAY
It's a quiet Sunday morning in Sunshine city. The blogger, inside the cubicle in the ancestral home, hears two or more cocks crowing in the neighborhood welcoming the day. Or are they saying, it will be a hot but wonderful, creative and productive day?
The day starts right or start the day right: breath deeply a minute or two and express gratitude.
Thanks, Lord of all Things, bless the blogger, his wife with a walking cane now, bless our sons and their spouses, and keep them safe under your loving protection. Amen.
*** The ozone layer has been shattered, according to fellow Ilokano writer Ruperto Manuel, now vacationing in California. That's why it is hot all over the Philippines then? But the weather bureau says, it is the easterly winds that are causing the extreme hot temperature.

A certain Dr. Joel Lopez of the Department of Education in Ilocos Norte has come out with his invention of an Ilokano orthography that is allegedly being used in the grades in the province of Imee Marcos. We have not seen the "model" but a group of Ilokano writers has criticized it because it defies tradition, that is, it does not reflect the orthography in Bannawag and the Naimbag a Damag Biblia.
