2010-04-23T00:14:00.000-07:00

And I think one of which is to be a good mother/parent to my Kids. How my heart is filled with so much love for them.

Elysse Lauren's Christening

A Good mother????

2009-12-05T03:23:00.000-08:00

Here is the scenario, it was after eating lunch the mother told her daughters (13 and 12 years old respectively); daughter 1 : "Clean up the table" and to daughter 2 : "you wash the dishes". The mother added, "I'm so in a hurry as I will be late for work, you both take care of your youngest sister." Her daughter patiently obeyed, the mother went upstairs instead of taking a shower as she claimed she was in a hurry; she turned right, went in front of the computer and played FARMVILLE for nearly an hour before taking the much awaited shower. Her daughters while she played, obediently did what their mother asked them to do.

Now you tell me, what kind of mother would do such a thing? Isn't it that there's a saying in filipino "Isusubo ko na lang, Ibibigay ko pa sa mga anak ko." This doesn't just apply to the food on our plate but this applies to all the sacrifice a mother would do to make her children's lives a bit easier, sacrifice even your little happiness just to be sure that your children's happiness comes first. This kind of scenario is just unimaginable, I know so because I am a mother too. I am a mother before I am a person, I am a mother before I am a wife, I am a mother before I am a friend, I am a mother before I am a daughter and lastly I am a mother as God wanted me to be so.

Elysse @ 2 months.

2009-11-12T22:37:00.000-08:00

Here are pictures of my princess Elysse Lauren on her 2nd month of life. She is such a blessing to us, I cannot take my eyes off her. I thank You Lord for giving such a wonderful daughter to me and my family, in this world of imperfections; she can make it perfect for all of us.

The Night before Ondoy

2009-11-01T18:39:00.001-08:00

The night before Ondoy was tragic enough for me and my family. I brought my 25 days old baby in the hospital that night as she was suffering from diarrhea and fever, the pedia advised me not to take any risk as this could be serious. I felt like the world tumbled down when the pedia stated that it could be a blood infection. So we decided to bring my daughter to the hospital that night, we were supposed to take her to Mission Hospital where I gave birth to her, but since we cannot contact the pediatrician who was there when I gave birth we contacted the old pedia of my son. She advised that we might as well take our baby to De Los Santos Medical Center, and so we did. It was very heartbreaking to imagine her in an I.V. that was why I was so afraid for her to be admitted but she could suffer from dehydration if we don't. I was actually surprised when they put the I.V., Elysse barely cried; I was so relieved as it was not as bad as I had imagined. But either way it still looks painful. The next day was unimaginable, I have learned from the news that there is a storm coming but I couldn't care less because all I have in mind that moment was my baby girl. I didn't even realized that it started to rain so hard because we cannot hear it inside the hospital room, I was actually waiting for my husband to go back to the hospital and was getting furious on whats keeping him. He called me up around 9 am to tell me that there is a big traffic jam at the C5 road and they decided to go back because the flood is fast rising, I didn't believe him at first but when he asked to look outside if its already flooded; to my surprise E. Rodriguez Ave. was impassable. To make the long story short, we stayed in the hospital for good 4 days as the results of my baby's tests were delayed because of the typhoon. But it was a blessing in disguise because the hospital we originally planned to take her was hard hit by the typhoon. I have a lot of things to be thankful for, not only my daughter's tests went negative from any infection but my whole family was not affected by the storm that much. It was indeed a very eventful month not just for us but for the whole nation, these experiences are something that you pray so hard for not to happen over again.

September 26th

2009-11-01T18:22:00.001-08:00

Last September 26 was a very tragic day for every Filipinos here and abroad, a very strong typhoon named Ondoy hits the country and left hundreds of people suffering. Some lost their homes and possessions, some lost their loved ones. True enough this event woke every Filipino up and realized that we cannot just rely on our Government to give us help in times like this. "Bayanihan" so to speak was very visible at that very tragic moment. I am hoping that this alone will be a wake up call for everyone to realize that the Earth we are living in is not ours, God let us borrow this beautiful land and it is for us to look after it and make sure that it won't be abused. He has the power to take everything from us, I know that He did not made it happen for us to suffer; but for us to realize that there is more to life than merely prized and material possessions. Let this be not just a wake up call but a warning that in every action there is an equal reaction. God Bless everyone and lets keep eye on each other.

For Women Only

2008-08-11T02:33:00.000-07:00

How many of you girls who at least once in your life had a hard time finding the right bra that will flatter and support your breasts? I'm sure a lot of us had experienced this, one way or the other. And I'm not an exemption, being born with a relatively plus size breasts was no fun at all. During my first years of wearing a bra, it was really difficult to find one that would at least make it look smaller. Remember those days when you wished you don't have them because a lot of people would tease you, especially boys. But times have changed all that, we are now in the era of women spending money to have them bigger, fuller and sexier. Now I'm beginning to be really thankful for that, if not for one thing....finding the right bra. I have spent thousands of money just to have that perfect fit and support that i need, but I am not always successful. Well, finally I have found someone who could help me at last and it's ironic because she happens to be my sister in law. She is a very talented woman, whose imagination doesn't just stop from designing gowns and dress making. She went all the way to Canada to have a certification from Beverly Johnson’s School of Arts & Design for Made-to-Measure Bra-making Program. Need i say more? Well visit her web site at:

MARRIAGE

2008-07-11T20:04:00.000-07:00

LET ME SHARE THESE WONDERFUL WISDOM ABOUT MARRIAGE FROM SOME FAMOUS PEOPLE

Marriage depends first and always on the two spouses, who can always make their marriage successful and happy if they are determined, unselfish and righteous. The formula is:
First, there must be the proper approach toward marriage, which contemplates the selection of a spouse who reaches as nearly as possible mature development in all matters that are of importance to the individuals.
Second, there must be great unselfishness, directing of the family life and all pertaining thereunto to the good of the family.
Third, there must be continuing courting and expressions of affection, kindness and consideration to keep love alive and growing.
Fourth, there must be the living commandments of the Lord as defined in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

With these ingredients properly mixed and continually functioning, it is quite impossible for misunderstandings to continue or for breakings to occur. - President Spencer W. Kimball

Marriage is like twirling a baton, turning handsprings or eating with chopsticks. It looks easy until you try it. - Helen Rowland

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person. - Mignon McLaughlin

Marriage should be a duet - When one sings, the other claps. - Joe Murray

Keep your eyes wide open before marriage and half-shut afterwards. - Benjamin Franklin

The secret to a successful marriage is to treat all disasters as incidents and none of the incidents as disasters. - Harold Nicholson

Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight. - Phyllis Diller

Almost no one is foolish enough to imagine that he automatically deserves great success in any field of activity; yet almost everyone believes that he automatically deserves success in marriage. - Sydney J. Harris

The marriage relation is...without beginning of days or end of years; ...it lays the foundation for worlds, for angels and for the Gods; for intelligent beings to be crowned with glory, immortality, and eternal lives. In fact, it is the thread which runs from the beginning to the end of the holy gospel of salvation...; it is from eternity to eternity. - Brigham Young

Happiness is being married to your best friend - Barbara Weeks

NCBA BATCH 89-93 HIGH SCHOOL REUNION

2008-06-14T10:34:00.000-07:00

I'm sure a lot of you have watched the movie Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, well my high school reunion wasn't that big. Well, to begin with, it was just an idea that became a plan and became an event. One of my hs batch mate whom i still have contact with, suggested that we should have a small gathering with our hs friends. She's been out of the country a lot and she just wants to catch up with old friends. I liked the idea so i initiated a plan, and with the help of FRIENDSTER i was able to make bulletins and made contacts with some of them. At that time, i was really amazed how Internet can actually connect people. By checking out theirfriendster account alone i learned a lot of things about them, like what have they become after high school, or did they even attended college; and I'm surprised as to how a lot of them had turned out. A number of them are overseas, some are there for good and some are there just to work. I also found out that most of them really turned out successful. We have a gynecologist, dermatologist, an accountant, an entrepreneur, an actress/model, a singer (me included) and what have you. As for the others who had chosen to be a stay home mom and wife, i salute them because being one is not easy, i know 'cause i was once a stay homemom myself. Anyway, even though only few attended the gathering, it's as if i really learned a lot of things about them and i could say that it was a successful one. It was worth all the troubles and as early as now im already planning to have another gathering by the end of the year.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

2008-05-08T01:43:00.000-07:00

I remember a line from Drew Barrymore's film called Riding in Cars With Boys as she and her son were arguing, she asked herself "When will this job ever end?" It is indeed a funny question because the truth is, a mother's job will never end. As long as your heart is beating and as long as you still have air to breathe, you will always and forever a mother to your child. There are no material rewards, no day-offs, no 13th month pay, not even a Christmas bonus. But the truth is, its one of the highest salaried job because the payment is pure love; and no amount of money in this world could ever compete that.

Happy Mother's Day everyone!!!

Marrying Mr. Right

2008-03-17T20:10:00.000-07:00

This will be my first time to really write down what im feeling, growing up i was never that kind of girl who will keep a journal or a diary to write down my daily activities or what im feeling for that matter. It is kinda hard for me to think of what to say, but i think the best way to do it is to write down what i really feel this very moment. As of writing this, me and my husband just recovered from a very dreadful fight that almost cost us our marriage. But we managed to sit down and talked about it. Though we havent really came up with a compromise yet but it looks very positive. This incident alone leaves me thinking is he my Mr. Right? I remember when i was younger i often day dream about marrying someone who can fulfill my dreams, someone who will put me in a pedestal and worship me for whatever reasons and i made a deal with God. I asked him to give me a sign, that whoever is the first guy to give me dozens of white long stemmed roses will be my Mr. Right. That thought stayed with me until i was old enough to have a relationship, I've had a series of failed relationships because i couldn't find that someone who can make my dreams come true. Im always looking for flaws, and if ever i see one that will immediately turn me off and suddenly fall out of love. Until i met a very normal guy, he is not even close to my dream guy; he was actually a far cry from my dream guy. But he loved me, he loves me for whoever, whatever i was. He loved every bad moods, tantrums and even my just woke up face. Back then, i thought that he was just one of those guys who will eventually be a part of my history of failed relationships. I gave it a try though, i thought well if he loved me that much maybe its gonna be worth a try. But being with him almost everyday, i became very fond of him and that fondness turned into likeness and that likeness turned into love. I woke up one morning looking at myself in a mirror and actually admitting straight face that I Love him, for what reason? i don't really know. I cannot come up with a good reason but i couldn't care less all i know is that i love this guy, and i couldn't face another day without him. That alone was a reason enough to finally give in to love. The rest, so to speak was history, i married this guy obviously and we are but a normal couple who will fight over little things and then kiss and make up after. I could very much say that we are happily married for almost four years now, with a three year old son who is a spitting image of me. Just last night while i was thinking of our marriage that deal and sign i had withGod crossed my mind, i t took me three years to remember that deal and that sign. Then i remember vividly that one afternoon when he visited me three days before i left for Malaysia. He gave me two dozens of white long stemmed roses. This memory send shivers down my spine, and i cried because after thinking that i married the wrong man; God actually made me realize that i have indeed married the right one and i was standing right next to the man of my dreams all along. He may not be wealthy, he might not put me in a pedestal but who would want that anyway? Isn't it that you would always want the one you love to be right by your side? so why would i enjoy being up in a pedestal? where i can be right beside him and have his arms wrapped around me? And with that being said I ask you, are you still dreaming for Mr. Right?
