Happy Birthday

**Tea Wii **

On this day 25 years ago I received one of the best mother's day gift I could have ever received, my beautiful baby girl was born and has blessed me ever since. I am so proud of the beautiful young woman she has become and so proud to not only call her my daughter but my true best friend indeed...

I love you...

Wish you all the best that you deserved.

I'm so blest!

me with my grown ups <3

LORD T H A N K YOU for giving me soooo much...all the good things that happened to me in the past hadn't been weighed down by some negative things I had met head on. Thank you for giving me strength and courage so enough for me to carry on. Still I won't trade my faith, my positivism and true incorrigible optimism that shield me and my person forever against all odds. AMEN.


 

I've reached my 1,500th entry

My posts here has already reached it's 1,500th entry. This one should be done last night but the rumbling sounds of thunder and the brilliant sparks of lightning prevented me from doing so. The pelting downpour of rains was deafening. Then came a sudden blackout. The dwindling light from a candle made the ghost-story seemed more frightening. I heard my kids telling each other some goosebump experiences. I heard one says, "let's try spirit of the glass" in jest...and I say...hey, stop it! We just gathered in one corner of the sala and enjoyed the evening, and ordered 2 boxes of pizza. But my son who was then laughing and laughing put the phone back to its cradle. Instead I just cooked 4 packs of Pancit Canton and voila again...they all dived into it.

Life is beautiful...

Just woke up a bit late...just had black coffee and cream puff. Talking to my dearest daughter via YM...great! We talk about a lot of things...girls talk...we give advices to each other. Talk about family matters, budgeting, her studies and about Mishah and Lorenzo. Everything is great except for some little problems that has to be ignored for the meantine I said. No big deal I meant. Life is beautiful still and we should smile everyday 'coz life is greater than those little concerns.

I love being a mom...

Pretty weather here today in Japan...'coz sun is up and not too cold now. Dati parang ang bagal ng takbo ng oras pero now it seems to be running so fast. Am still indesicive 'til now. Hindi ko masabi kung mageextend ako for another 3 months...I still don't know. But I do enjoy everything here...but being a mum is quite a big load. I think of everything at home where I left my children doing everything for them by themselves, without househelp except one who goes there every week to wash clothes. Their father is right now in Bataan. So they're left on their own. Good thing I do appreciate is that they have now time for each other and they do enjoy going to the mall now and they get a lot of bonding time and enjoy each others company. Last time they went to a movie theatre to watch...and it's kinda nice to hear. I do monitor everything there at home including Mishah and Enzo's health too. When Acey had his birthday I was shocked, dahil we made an agreement beforehand that they'd just eat outside, preferably sa Max's, or Kenny's para naman masaya. Ang nakakatuwa nagtipid ang mga bata. They just cooked spaghetti at home, bought cake and ice cream...voila...nakaraos at nakatipid pa raw sila. Ang nakakatuwa natutong magluto samantalang noong andoon ako, kulang subuan ko pa sila ng pagkain. :D
Ngayon wala ako sa bahay, they try to do things on their own...pati pagbabudget monthly. Most of the time it would annoyed them via YM dahil para akong sirang plaka, telling them ang door ilock lagi...sina Mishah baka hindi napapakain ng maayos, baka makalabas ng gate, ang tangke baka maiwan na bukas, etc...etc. Hay ang hirap maging nanay...but on the other hand, masaya and fulfilling lalo't napapalaki ko sila ng maayos at mga magalang. They are a treasure talaga. Kaya naman makakapuno na ako ng 2 big boxes para maipasalubong sa kanila. Isa lang ang request ni Acey, boxful of Kitkat, wala ng iba pa. Addict sa Kitkat talaga. :D

They are my happiness...

More blessings and lessons...

Learning the value of every moment, of every year...by the lessons I learned with everyday of every week, month, and year that I live...I can truly say that I've been blest...so so blest. And I need to thank my nuclear family for some of the best years of my life with them. Without them I don't imagine my life as happy as I am now. They are the only source of my strength next to my Creator.

Waiting for Sydelle...

Anthony, one of my adopted son will soon be a father to a new baby who's yet to come out one of these days. He and her beautiful wife, Steff who's already in her 9 mos. is now waiting for the stork. The baby is a girl according to the ultrasound result. She'll be named A Sydelle, I forgot what A stands for.
At every step of the way, they would find themselves automatically doing things their parents had done. Some were good and some were clearly not so good at all. Some were less effective too...and from there they can easily adjust and do things with some careful measures and will be able to find new ways of good and positive parenting skills.
Here's to you, guys!!! Congrats...ngayon pa lang...red wine hah!!! :)
Hi to Ninang Makki...

Let me say...

My Lord Jesus...thank you very much for all the blessings that you're giving me and my family...and with this, I pray:


Lord, I know that you always hear my weepings and my prayers,
So I humbly ask to please keep me right,
remind me to go straight...
and always guard and keep me away from evil..amen!

Am I happy?!

As I wake up each morning, I'd ask myself...Am I happy?! Well in a way I am...super happy because my family is great...but in some ways too, I can say I am not. Sometimes we have to go through a lot...and there will be a lot of lesson to be learned. Though it can't be that bad.

I wish life was a slate...we could always delete and start all over again, and again...and again.

But on the second thought...Yes indeed I am truly happy...!!!
