Aliw's Life Begins at...
10, 20, 30, 40? It's up for you to know and for me to find out.
Have you ever wondered about the meaning of your name? Or have you ever asked your parents why they picked that name for you when you were born? If not, then it's time to inquire or ask uncle Google about it.
As a child I was so curious with my name and my parents gladly explained that they took it from the Christian dictionary that we have at home. So I scrambled to find that dictionary and was happy to see the result of my quest. It says, Aileen is from an Irish origin and a term for Helen which means 'Light'.
Few weeks ago, a good friend of mine celebrated her natal day in the presence of several wellwishers. Fortunately, she's one of those persons I have known with a lovely name. (Just don't mind the Visayan equivalent of some words below.)
Aliw al´iw n. consolation, comfort v. to console, to comfort.
n. entertain v. 1 to interest, to please, to make fun for: maglibang, lumibang, makalibang, libangin, mag-aliw, umaliw, makaaliw, aliwin; 2 to provide entertainment for guests: umistima, istimahin.
Aside from being the best in all these aspects, she continues to inspire others with her simple ways. Praying for a more grace-filled years ahead of you sister.

I really thought that my quest would end that day. Yet it hasn't.
Let this be my aim each miraculous day among all others. "To live with abundance and joy as I connect with the light and create powerful intentions."
