Some people approached me these past few days and asked me to write some poems for valentines. Here are two that I wrote tonight. It's a few feet shy of the usual poems, but I think it will creep into the hearts of many. I hope you like it.
Love,
Rose
Valentine Promise
By: Rose T. Ada-Hocog
The road we travel
Is a long and difficult road
Your troubles and mine
We both have heavy loads
Yet, through the many heartaches and pain
Through all of life’s demand
Through our rough and tumble years
Together, we still stand
Now, I don’t what tomorrow holds
Nor do I care
Today is all that matters
Cause today you are here
I cannot promise to love you for the rest of your life
I can promise my love for you will last for the rest of mine
I Love You,
xoxoxoxoxoxo
Your Sweet Valentine
Ol’ Mr. Cupid
By: Rose T. Ada-Hocog
I’ve always wished for a perfect life
A perfect partner, a perfect home
Perfect friends
To be well liked and well known
Many times, I wish myself into migraine
Not living my perfect life, has always been a pain
Well…..
Many storms later, I realize
My imperfect life is perfectly swell
I breathe, I live, I laugh, I cry
I sleep, I wake, to a bright blue sky
My life is not perfect, I do not care
Cause…to my left, to my right
My imperfect friends and family are there
So on the day that Ol’ Mr. Cupid draws his bow
I want them to remember, I want them to know
My life was, is, and will always be
More than perfect…cause they’re sharing it with me.

There was this Chamorro man lining up at an ATM. Henoticed the first man in line was Japanese. When theJapanese man put his credit card in the ATM, JapaneseYen came out. The Chamorro man was a bit confused.
The next man in line was a Pilipino, and when thePilipino man put his credit card In the ATM, pesosstarted to come out.
The Chamorro man was surprised and put his credit cardin the ATM to see what kind of currency would comeout...... Food Stamps started to come out!!************************************************************************
Jose was passing by Pedro's house and noticed thatPedro was on his boat in the front yard.Jose couldn't help but notice Pedro holding an oar andwas paddling like crazy.
"Primo, What are you doing,Lai?" said Jose.Pedro replied, "I'm trying to get to the other side."
At this, Jose got pissed off and yelled at Pedro "Youknow what, prim, you're the kind of people that'llembarrass the Chamorro race, coz if I knew how to swim, I'll go over there and slap your face!"
************************************************************************
Tun Jose still enjoyed chasing girls even when he gotto be 75. When his wife Tan Josepha was asked if she minded,she answered, "Ai, adai, why should I be upset? Evendogs chase cars, but they cannot drive."
************************************************************************

CNMI Accomodations
When my utilities where disconnected, I brought my family over to the Chalan Kanoa Beach Club to stay for the night. I was impressed at the congeniality of the phone operator, the front desk ladies and the accomodations.
When I went over to the counter to check in, their smile and attitude immediately made me feel at ease. My utility issue dissolved and the frustration of packing up my family, loading them into the car, and making the noisy trip down to the hotel just about disappeared.
The accomodation was great. The price was the lowest on the island. The room was clean and neat. The beds were comfy. The amenities were great. My family immediately felt like they were at home. It was the best thing that happened to us that day.
Unfortunately, we got there in the evening and were unable to swim in the pool, but there is always a next time. I also did not ask about their wireless capabilities, but I will next time.
The next morning when it came time to leave, my children practically begged me to stay another night. But because my job was constantly screwing around with my pay and I had to visit the folks at CUC to turn my power back on, I had to break their hearts and say no.
I recommend that others stay at the Chalan Kanoa Beach Club. It is a great place with a great price.
