LOVE and SACRIFICE

Love and Sacrifice. Put in one word, MOTHER.


"When God Created Mothers"

When the Good Lord was creating mothers, He was into His sixth day of "overtime" when the angel appeared and said. "You're doing a lot of fiddling around on this one." 

And God said, "Have you read the specs on this order?" She has to be completely washable, but not plastic. Have 180 moveable parts...all replaceable. Run on black coffee and leftovers. Have a lap that disappears when she stands up. A kiss that can cure anything from a broken leg to a disappointed love affair. And six pairs of hands." 

The angel shook her head slowly and said. "Six pairs of hands.... no way." 

It's not the hands that are causing me problems," God remarked, "it's the three pairs of eyes that mothers have to have." 

That's on the standard model?" asked the angel. God nodded. 

One pair that sees through closed doors when she asks, 'What are you kids doing in there?' when she already knows. Another here in the back of her head that sees what she shouldn't but what she has to know, and of course the ones here in front that can look at a child when he goofs up and say. 'I understand and I love you' without so much as uttering a word." 

God," said the angel touching his sleeve gently, "Get some rest tomorrow...." 

I can't," said God, "I'm so close to creating something so close to myself. Already I have one who heals herself when she is sick...can feed a family of six on one pound of hamburger...and can get a nine year old to stand under a shower." 

The angel circled the model of a mother very slowly. "It's too soft," she sighed. 

But tough!" said God excitedly. "You can imagine what this mother can do or endure." 

Can it think?" 

Not only can it think, but it can reason and compromise," said the Creator. 

Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek. 

There's a leak," she pronounced. "I told You that You were trying to put too much into this model." 

It's not a leak," said the Lord, "It's a tear." 

What's it for?" 

It's for joy, sadness, disappointment, pain, loneliness, and pride." 

You are a genius, " said the angel. 

Somberly, God said, "I didn't put it there.”

CBD Plaza Hotel, Naga City, Philippines

CBD Plaza Hotel is located near the fully urbanized area of Naga City in the Bicol region.

Strategically positioned near SM City Naga and literally in front of the bus terminal, this hotel has one of the strongest locations in the region. CBD Plaza Hotel has a dedicated airport shuttle service for guests who travel via plane. However, the hotel can use a friendlier staff who'd be willing to give wider smiles to arriving guests.

CBD Hotel needs some serious reminders on hotel service; rooms were not well-cleaned for new guests; the resourcefulness for old towels, bed sheets, and pillows is not appreciated; bathroom facilities can use some upgrading. Points, though, for the well-ventilated room and a window through which sunlight can greet you a good morning.

CBD Hotel boasts for its unbeatable location, but that's about it for this hotel. They do not have an indoor cafe. Everything has a fee: from hot water (for tea/coffee) to WI-fi connection. If you can settle for an average experience amidst the hot Bicol weather, then it's safe for you to stay here. Otherwise, it is recommended to look for a better and more exciting haven.
