A Music Video as an Educational Tool?

Filipinos are said to be natural born singers and music lovers. This is not too hard to believe considering the many videoke bars that sprouted in almost every corner of our neighborhood. Consider also that a number of households own Magic Sing units. It's precursor, the Karaoke machine, was also popular. But ever since videoke existed, it easily replaced the former. Videoke not only provides the music but also visuals that will entice the wannabe singers to sing to maximum performance level.

For A Very Special Boy

Baby Oyen at 1-year old

I first posted this on my Facebook wall. It's about my feelings and thoughts about my special boy, Baby Oyen. He is autistic, and at age four, could not yet verbally communicate with us. It is sometimes frustrating not to know what's going on in Baby Oyen's mind. 

Somebody suggested that I turn my Facebook post into a poem. But since I'm not a literary writer, I'm sticking with the original format. My attempts in poetry always ends up in total failure. Anyways, in whatever form it maybe - poetry or prose - the message is still the same. I made some changes, a little editing here and there. So here it is. I am hoping someday, when my Baby Oyen will be allowed by the Lord to progress and learn how to read, he will discover this so that he would know how much I love him.
