The blog title, Touched by an Angel was inspired by my precious angel, Luijoe when he guided me towards the light at the end of the tunnel of despair (over his death). My blog is not only about my grief recovery. Topics also include Parenting, health & family life recovery, grief education, Filipino culture, marriage, online world, problogging, Entrepreneurship, Investment, Entertainment, Shopping, current events , my business, Globalized E-commerce Online Solutions and my thoughts and opinions about eventful or uneventful days.

This blog is a platform of my advocacy, grief education and grief support. “Touched by An Angel” aims to promote my mission in life, The Compassionate Friends Philippines and reach out to bereaved family members who have lost a child. (read more?). Through my experiences , this blog will hopefully educate family systems that grief is not a taboo subject. Grief is not limited to persons who have lost through the death of a loved one. My recovery blog also seeks to reach out to all those who are grieving from these losses , that there is hope. Pain is our greatest teacher. Regardless of where the pain comes from, there are always lessons to be learned.

My story on Luijoe’s life and death is a part of , “Fallen Cradle“, a book of 22 stories by parents who have a lost a child. . Fallen Cradle can be bought at National BookStore or Powerbooks. (read more about Fallen Cradle)

Current Blog Design

Touched By an Angel’s customized header was designed by Juan Karlo Licudine of pinoyblogero.com . My angel must have guided Karlo’s hands because the header design is awesome. My instructions for the drawing were “we’re a family in a bonding moment”. If you want to learn how to blog, watch this Youtube video of bloggers

Some of the photos were taken using my Nokia N70 which has 2 megapixels resolution. In June 3, 2006, I bought a Canon Powershot A530 so I can take sharper photos. From October 2006 to May 2008, I have been using a Canon Powershot A710 IS, a 7.1 megapixel camera with 6 X optical zoom and Image Stabilizer. These days I am using a Nikon D40
