Vegas vacations

We don't have any vacation plans right now, but I told my hubby that we were going to go to the places I've never been. I want something new, a different place to see. Last week our cousins went to Gulf shores and they all had a great, great time. That's one of the places I want to visit here in the United States of America. I am thinking to plan a Vegas vacations one of these days. I heard so many good things about that place.

The former Philippine President Aquino died

Shocking news??? Kinda! But, it was expected that the time will come for the former Philippine President Corazon Aquino to rest in peace. She was struggling for over a year with Colon cancer. This afternoon it was confirmed with her family and she passed away at the age of 76.

I got this statement from Philippine Inquirer: Her family announced she died in the early hours of Saturday, shortly after a private mass was held in her hospital room. All five children were at her bedside when the end came.

"Our mother peacefully passed away at 3:18 a.m. (8:18 p.m. British time Friday) of cardio-respiratory arrest," her son, Senator Benigno Aquino Jr., told reporters.

"She would have wanted us to thank each and every one of you for all the prayers and your continuous love and support. It was her wish for all of us to pray for one another and for our country."

Aquino, known as Cory to millions of Filipinos, was president from 1986 to 1992. But she is remembered, more than two decades after the fact, as the slim woman in yellow who led the "People Power" revolution that toppled dictator Ferdinand Marcos.

I've known her when I was growing up. I was on first grade when she became President. Basically, she's my favorite Philippine President. It was sad yet happy in other side. She was so much in pain fighting her illness in the past couple months. Indeed, she rested!
