**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.

Happy Valentine's to all 

Merry Christmas to all

Just around the corner...

gets me so inspired and feeling like a kid again to see Christmas trees and all the gleaming festive lights!

“Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.”

To you, Makk...

Don't worry too much...do be happy, always!

I looooovvvvvveeeee you! You must know that...

Tears of joy...

Well, kahit ano pa ang sabhin nila, I am truly happy....I got the title...legally that's OURS!!!

I have learned a lot through this...never to trust anyone. Be wary of those who have sweet tongues!!!

More happy moments...

The wacky duo...mother & dau team!

That hat she was wearing cost P99.99 sa dollar store, she was begging na ibili ko sya dhil gustong gusto nya un. Ay hindi ko binili...ngaun nagsisisi ako. Kasi nakakita kami worth a little less than P1thou. Sabi ko cge promise babalikan natin ung isa. She's turning 18 next August. Dalaga na ang baby ko. Request nya ito...na iblog ko naman daw sya. I do away sana posting pictures sa blog ko. But being a mother, un ang request ng anak ko so...may magagawa pa ba ako? Eh mahal ko yan.

Two Sundays na kaming nagsswimming. Kahit malamig lamig na. Last Sunday was meant for my sis-n-law's bday. Nkakatampo kasi d sya dumating. Pero forgiven ko na sya. Anyway,
that was a happy Sunday with the rest of the gang...we went ahead of the slugs, kasi naman wala pa akong katulog tulog so we stayed na lang sa van waiting...I dosed off...when all of a sudden I heard laughters...my dau was taking pictures pala of me while I was in deep slumber. D ko pwedeng ipost ung ibang pict...nakaka-off...lol...so we deciced to make a little roughhousing...hindi sya mananalo sa akin...ang sarap...ang saya naming 2...we do away with stress...we really are spending quality time together...sigh...nakakamiss ung 1 tao jan...malapit na kasi ang school opening so we're enjoying na lang the vacation. Everybody will be busy na...galit galit uli. Busy-busyhan na naman ang lahat. And time for me to work on my papers na to apply for a visa...at walang kokontra. :-)

Finally, my friend gave the mitten and she's now...off the hook!

I received some text msgs while I was blogging and slurping my coffee, earlier this morning. Mixed emo...happy to know that it has ended after 4 years...and at the same time a bit sad 'coz I knew how much she has loved the guy, I don't know why. But yes...that's great coz it's finally over with my friend and her...I don't know how would I call him, but anyway...there's a lot to celebrate. Everything now is all water under the bridge. I don't think it's a waste of time but at least she has learned something from that relationship. It was doomed right from the off I told her...but she never did listen. And she swore to me that she's now ready to take command of the situation. I know that it will all soon pass out of her mind...everything will be forgotten, I said. She's now turning into music, that's taking her mind off her past troubles. And I'm very happy she finally gave the mitten. I know that she's quite hurting...probably not to move on but to adjust now with the present situation...excruciating I guess...but in time she'll be ok.

She sometimes realized that there's no way her marriage could be turned around. Yet, again the only answer seemed to be in waiting for fate to intervene. She's older now and am sure more au fait with the ways of men...surely she'll learn now. She's old enough to winnow truth from lies, to know what's good and not. I hope too, that now she'll strain her mind and grope back into the depths of her memory and soon she'd ask what good it could do to remember? I feel sorry that I have a special knack for picking the very worst thing to ask at the very worst moment. I know she's still hurting but knowing how resilient she is...she'll bounce back in time.

Pardon me if I veer on adult talk...let's go PG now! OK, for many non-orgasmic women there is a desperate search for the key to unlock the doorway to sexual fulfillment, but definitely not my friend...coz she is not of that kind. More than physical love, she craves for spiritual bond---a soul to soul relationship and the meeting of the minds...of the same wavelength. So then love was developed...according to her, the guy wooed her or I should say for what?! She is a woman who has dared to cut off from her sexual life, yes she is married but her marriage was in disarray when she met the guy. She then allowed herself to celibate just to be faithful to the man she has learned to love. The man who made a promise to protect her, the man who said he'd never leave her...that he would stay forever...sigh

And for you my friend, here's my take...there's no time to sit around pondering the impossibilities of your situation. You need to find answers to save your own life.
The most I think is that you now keep your head above the water.

And...you don't have to keep a stiff upper lip for me...coz there's no virtue in false modesty...my friend! Good luck...

I am literally happy...

I have learned how to live each day. And for me every single day is a blessing. And by God's grace I can truly say I AM HAPPY...

Living in this world one can always be sure to meet challenges, trials, and it boils to one thing, we should be armed with a lot of faith, sensible and firm decision how we'll purposely go about every challenges or life's trials. It's but unavoidable to slide sometimes, due to unearthly desires...obvious materialistic impulses, love of money, power, fame or rankings and anything that human beings would crave for, a stereotypical thinking of every eager-beaver. I am sure these are but only temporary. What is important is to have innate peace...and that's great! Having a good night sleep without any worries is something to achieve.

I want to live in a very simple way of life, with a great deal of privacy.

And so, contentment for me, is happiness...
And to be happy is blissful!!!

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...!!!

One great treat for the whole family...

My husband treated us in one resort, something na seldom mangyari dahil I am not an outgoing type...I'd rather stay at home to do every chores, read, blog, and sleep. It's a nice feeling naman pla to go out and see the world outside. The place is hilly, the air is clean...and the people are so warm. We all enjoyed and somehow I was thankful kasi wala akong gastos...lahat sa kanya. Tama lang, lagi kasi akong taya. Maranasan ko naman ang maitreat. And it's great! I wanted to enjoy life sans stress, and other concerns. I want to veer away from the past...something na alam kong walang maitutulong sa buhay ko kundi ang maging unhappy and miserable. I want to enjoy every moments of my life now productively with the people I love and vice-versa. I now hate brooding...all I want is to be happy and look at life in different perspective. Life is very beautiful and let us not dwell on unhappy side of it. It's but natural that we have to meet a lot of struggles and trials...a lot of slip ups and the-not-so-good-experiences. I want the slate thing to be applied in my system. If it is not good, you can always clean the slate and do the next thing. I avoid now being too cheesy and sentimental...it doesn't help me though. Love begets love...my new motto...if it doesn't apply I'll just probably drop them...it is not my problem anymore. What I need is a happy life to make my life worthwhile living. I can only say that life is great!!!
