Saving for a start...

I have been planning to visit PS Bank for a month now and finally I made it today.

Buti nalang my Boss ask me to send some money over his account at PS Bank today kaya nag ka chance narin ako  to open an account for aina, last two months ko pa kasi na decide to open her a kiddie savings account. Super dali nga lang talaga mag open like other mommy blogger mentioned on their blog, you just have to bring a copy of your child's birth certificate from the NSO or pwede narin yata yung galing sa Civil Registrar basta certified and also bring atleast your  2 valid ID's.

What I love about PS Bank is they don't have a bunch of requirements plus super dali yung processing, you can just deposit atleast 500.00 and they also have this Personal Accident Insurance.

We all dream of having a wealthy life so we better start saving now, we have to start teaching our little kiddos on saving for their future specially this Christmas season, sigurado marami sila ma earn na mga aguinaldo so we better make sure that we keep it sa bank and inform them that money is not just for spending but also for saving. Hindi lang  tayo nakaka ipon natuturuan pa natin mga kids to be responsible when handling money.

O sya yan po muna got to go home.....

ingat po ang lahat and make sure to keep our head cool since it's a traffic season...

marriage...

It was just an ordinary talk but we came up with having a great marriage...

When we get married we are already aware of the responsibility that is being handed to us, we already know that we have to be responsible enough to keep the promise we made in front of our respective family. But in our 2years of marriage we both realize that we are not really making our own part as husband and wife, as partners. Instead we just let each other decide on what to do with one another, the word husband and wife became MY HUSBAND/WIFE we was forgotten.

I would say that there’s no perfect marriage that happen in 2years nor a decade But I believe that making a perfect marriage only makes 2 person to fulfill each others vow and live through it. In our 2 years of marriage I learned a lot of things and I just wish we could apply all the lesson and make sure not to repeat the same mistakes again. We both made decision but most of the time we fail or I fail because we never tried to think about it in a deeper way.

This year we will both try to be on the same road and make sure to take the same path and never let go of each other's hand no matter the outcome is and I guess we will also be able to try making a perfect marriage till the end, we may fail but we promise to stand still together.

My birthday is Coming...

Yey! It's December time once again and I'm just so excited for my 27th Birthday!!!
Oh Yes it's my 27th birthday and I'm not a shame of that and no matter what age would I reached I will never be tired of celebrating and shouting it to the world.

Last night as I thought about my big day I get to remember some of my memorable birthdays I used to have one of it was when I celebrated my 13th birthday, buhay pa ang Nanay ko that time and we're living in the province so I don't have my lola to cook spaghetti for me nor my uncle to buy some ice cream all I had that day was a loaf and a sandwhich spread. My Mom is not in good condition during those times and we had nothing to even got the usual Pancit so my Nanay just ask my brother to buy for a loaf and a sandwhich spread, though it wasn't a special loaf for me it's the best loaf I ever tasted, the best celebration  I ever had and sadly the last celebration my Nanay and I shared.

Every year I always tried to make my day special, I may not have the best party or I may not be able to have the best gifts still the best feeling of having it celebrated alive for another year is the MOST WONDERFUL feeling.

For this year I was planning to have a simple celebration with my cousin which will also be celebrating his birthday a day before mine, I just wish my Boss would allow me to file a Birthday leave fingers cross!

Well wishes are welcome and hope you could also include me and my cousin in your prayers...

:-)

God's Will be done...

It wasn't really a great morning and I'm not sure if it will gonna be a great day.

A storm is really on us right now, not just in our country but also in our family. We received some bad news a few days ago about my cousin's situation and now everyone of us is in great pain and praying for some miracle. This is indeed a great challenge that everyone of us have to pass, a challenge that my cousin must win for his family and for the little girl who waits for him to go home.

Today I would ask for everyone to include my cousin Janssen Cortez in their prayers, please pray for his healing. May God grant his wish for another life, for another chance to be in this world and most specially for him to have a chance to served the one who brought him in this world.

God's will be done...

Good Morning Friday!!!

It's a raining friday for everyone right now and most cities have declared All Levels suspension of classes and everyone is being alert of might happen in few a hours due to super typhoon Yolanda.

Nowadays even a simple habagat can make a great damage to property what more can this Super Typhoon Yolanda make. Storms are hitting our country, after a serious damage caused by an earthquake in different parts of  Visayas and the never ending aftershocks they're feeling until now here comes another A Super Typhoon and the strongest typhoon of the year as per experts, what else can't we face? Our country is really made of hardship from the hundred years of colonization and up to our present government situation, what else can't we handle? There are tons of issue that our country is facing right now and we our selves our struggling it too, yet we never give up and we keep on fighting and giving each other our hand to surpass everything and keep it going. We may not have the latest and the best firearms or a million of soldiers to protect us and keep us safe but we know to our selves that we can't be beaten or fall because we are the countrymen of a country built of hardship and strong enough to conquer it all.

Let's pray for each others safety and always keep in mind that no matter what happen we can make it and we will make it.

Keep everyone!

Happy Thursday!

Hi everyone! Just wanna share you all some good vibes hehe yes ewan but I'm Happy and I wanna stay Happy for the whole day and the whole year (fingers cross). 

Kwento ko lang what happen last night..

Yesterday tatay and I thought to a creative art night with our princess, so I drop by National Bookstore to buy some cartolina and crayons. When Tatay went home he brought some pencil from his office, akala ko ready na lahat but then masama daw ang pakiramdam ng aking Tatay and hindi daw sya makahinga and he feels  bloated the same feeling I had the other night. After hearing Tatay's complain I came to wonder kung bakit and ano ang cause dahil sa bahay namin only the 3 of us ang nag karoon ng ganung feeling, suddenly tatay asked me baka daw sa nakain namin nung sunday na Carbonara kasi kami lang ang my ganun.

Last Sunday kasi we were craving for some pasta so we went to Cab Cafe sa Kapitolyo to have a carbonara and when we went home only the 3 of us ang kumain nun as in sarap na sarap pa kami, nakaka lungkot lang kasi iba ang naging outcome samin ngayon pati pa anak ko nahihirapan buti nalang nakuha sa massage ang masakit na tyan ni tatay, yup massage po ang ginawa ko kasi need matanggal ang lamig sa katawan nya and as usual sa galing kung mag massage ahem! naka tulog agad si tatay.

So in all hindi natuloy ang art night namin pero nag karoon naman kami ng massage session dahil after ko i-massage si tatay ako naman ang naka tikim ng massage from aina hehe yup kahit konting hawak haplos at hampas lang ng aking munting princessa gumagaan na pakiramdam ko, and before matulog nag pa back massage pa sakin si aina i will know when she want a massage pag dumapa na sya sa harap ko at tinaas ang damit na ibig sabihin nun massage ko sya hehe nakaka tuwa at her very young age kasi alam na nya ang comfort of a massage.

Bye bye na po muna, got some work to do pa...

Again Happy thursday and Good vibes lang to everyone!

Breakfast Bonding

Just wanna share to everyone...

Since it was an aina and me drama last Nov. 1, I decided to take my girl to a good breakfast so we went together sa Mc Donalds Pioneer, when we get there aina was so excited pero ayaw parin mag pa baba as in buhat buhat ko sya habang naka pila. I was about to order a pancake with sausage but then my eye caught the revival of HAPPY MEAL BOX hehe yup! the red big box is back the one where they put the toys and the food when you order the Happy Meal Package, I don't know what happen ha pero parang nawala kasi sya at napalitan ng paper bag or minsan nilalagay nalang nila sa plastic.

Siguro you think it's just a box so why such a big deal for me? well para sakin po kasi that Big Red Box is a memory of my childhood, that Big Red Box reminds me of my bonding moment din with my dad. I still remember whenever Sunday came and my dad would say "O anak simba tayo mamaya matulog kna" na e-excite na ako kasi alam ko after mag mass diretso na kami sa Mc Donalds and of course my Happy Meal toys akong dala. I even get  to collect toys before dahil  pati ang ate ko kinukulit ko para bilhan ako every time na uuwi sya ng bahay namin.

Hay I miss childhood but I love my life now hehe O sya here's some pics of our breakfast bonding...

Hindi naman obvious na feel nya kumain

haha parang hindi ako kasama sa bonding photographer lang pala, still super happiness ako...

Long Weekend..

Hi everyone!musta naman ang naging long weekend ng lahat?  sana naging ma ayos, because mine not so good hehe bakit? well masyado complicated so I have to keep It myself muna and to give respect to those involve.

Aina and I (yes as in kami lang, kaya alam na ang drama *wink )  celebrated  All souls Day together in San Mateo, we stayed at my brothers house and spent time with my other nieces and nephews and since it's also one of my niece birthday we had a simple children's party narin. During our stay in San Mateo I get to see the other side of my girl towards other kids, she can play along well and even know's her part as a playmate, something that she couldn't do pag nasa pasig sya dahil wala sya kalaro and puro computer at tv lang ang kaharap mag hapon. Sometimes I get bothered na kasi pag open palang ng eyes nya gusto na mag watch ng tv, minsan gusto pa nya pati ipad and computer naka bukas so she can watch her favorite show at the same time. Super thankful ako at nag ka long weekend atleast she got experience  playing along with other kids, run around and discover other games.

After our mini party nag punta narin agad kami sa cemetery to visit our beloved lolo and lola and also my dad, sa super lapit ng house namin sa cemetery we didn't expect to reached their tomb at around 7pm already sa sobrang traffic haist pati tuloy kids na inip na, hindi naman kami maka pag walk kasi marami kaming kasamang kids and marami kami dala, but still we get to enjoy the night and have another round of party with our lola, and of course the kids enjoyed it most when we bought them toys na my LED light that cost 60.00 each daw sabi ng tindera duh? ang mahal pero ok lang minsan lang naman sa isang taon nila itinda yun hehe.

Happy birthday ate Claire! ( the one in Hello Kitty Shirt)

Happy Trick or Treat day...

Hi everyone! Good morning!!!!

Sounds happy noh? hehe yep I am really happy because of yesterday's event.
Yesterday was my daughter's first trick or treat party dito sa office and also our office first trick or treat event ever, during the costume prep I mention na sana isuot ng aking anak ang kanyang costume and yes! nag tupad ang dasal ko because she was able to wear it without a fuss, hindi rin sya ng tantrums the whole day and even able to play with her ninangs.

Super laking improvement para sakin to be able to see my daughter mingle with other people and other kids, nung una she got irritated when I show her her dress but when she saw other kids playing ang wearing different costume ayun! nag pa suot din ng walang hirap and she even poses whenever people too a photo of her. Kahit super bigat and super pagod ako that day tiis lang at kahit parang namamaga ang arms ko ngayon dahil sa kaka buhat sa kanya ok lang rin ang mahalaga naging happy sya and na experience yung mga things na never ko na experience as a child.

Here's the pics...

My Little Devil Girl

Full na Full 

and here's another one

Sa dami ng nakuha nyang sweets hindi nya alam kung ano uunahin, and she even left something sa taxi for the driver daw ang sweet dba? 18 months pa lang sya but she knows how to share na..

O sya work mode muna ako.. bye bye

:-)

Costume Prep....

Last Friday we receive a Memo from our HR and Tourism Dept. that we will be having a Trick or Treat Party for all the employee's children on Tuesday super na excite ako kasi that means I can bring Aina with me again sa office and syempre another exposure sa kanya to mingle with other kids. After receiving the Memo I took a photo of it and posted on my facebook account, one of my office mate asked me kung ano daw costume ni Aina then I said Walkers yung sa walking dead pero syempre joke lang yun ayoko naman matakot ang anak ko sa sarili nya and pinagalitan ako ng isang elder namin, ang ganda daw ng anak ko wag ko daw gawin pangit (Wow! haba ng pilik mata ko) hehe.

Before I went home I drop by sa National Bookstore and saw the sets of costumes that their selling, mostly pare-pareho so I decided to ask muna si Tatay if he has any idea, syempre first trick or treat ng anak namin so dapat dalawa kami mag de-decide.

When Tatay got home aba! mas excited pa sya sa akin he was telling aina that we're going to buy her a costume for the party and he keeps on telling me to search all over the internet ng unique costume daw for kids para wala syang kapareho, luckily we got one idea agad (next post na yung pic)  and we agreed to go to Quiapo to look for other costumes or buy some materials for the one that we like. Nakaka loka lang dahil mas excited pa pala sya sakin at mas pursigido na mag pa customize ng costume for aina, hindi ako sanay pero ok na ok narin hehe

The Next morning we went straight to Quiapo but only to find limited choices, at ewan ko sa ka artehan ko hindi ko sya type isuot sa anak ko hehe Opo ma arte din po ako lalo na sa isusuot ng anak ko. After ng pag hahanap we proceed to Divisoria at nag decide na mag papa customize nalang kami, habang ng aabang kami ng jeep sinabihan kami ng mga tindera na mag lakad nalang daw kasi super traffic due to campaign parade ng mga candidate ng baranggay election. Nag lakad kami from Quiapo to Divisoria, at first akala ko super layo but then sa dami ng kasabay namin na papunta rin dun hindi ko na napansin and sa dami din ng nadaanan namin na never ko pa narating like Binondo and China Town hindi ko na ramdaman yung pagod, para lang kaming ng field trip yun nga lang puro lakad kami.

Pag dating sa Binondo we went to Mr. Ube to have our lunch na dahil sa haba ng nilakad namin na ubusan kami ng energy.

Tatay's order: Lechon Macau

Mine is Sweet and Sour fish

and here's us sabi kasi ni tatay picture daw muna

We had a great lunch that day and thanks to our flavorful eggtart (no picture sorry) by Lord Bistow for making it complete.

Here's our Pasalubong for aina

Peanut Butter Lengua De Gato

I can't post the costume yet kasi ginagawa pa but hopefully it will turn out great..fingers cross...
And most specially sana maka pag enjoy ang aming anak and make it a memorable trick or treat party...


bye bye.... :-)

Sunday Family day...

Last Sunday we attended our afternoon mass sa Holy Family Parish sa Kapitoly, super thankful kasi hindi umulan super good mood ng aking mag ama. During the mass super pa karga ang aking anak as in she only sit ng mga 2mins. tapos nag yaya sa labas at nag pakarga na, ayaw pa nya sa tatay nya at ako talaga ang request (super bigat kaya! huhu), after the mass we decided to have our dinner sa jollibee since super pagod na ako the whole day and no energy to cook.

Before Jolibee ng visit muna ako sa aking favorite na Sharetea, I'm really loving it na kahit anong flavor sarap parin....

Bacon and Mushroom Burger from Jollibee

After Dinner we bought some food sa Pioneer Center for  Aina's one week supply...

She's so cute with the mini cart, feel na feel nya ang mag lagay ng kung ano ano sa cart hehe kahit hindi nya alam kung ano nilalagay nya.

:-)

Dora O Dora

When Aina was with me sa office super laking tulong ng aking B-I-L since he work on the Second floor naman and with lesser load he took aina and let her stay with him at since IT  department ang hawak nya maraming computer sa office nila at ito ang ginawa ng anak ko....take a look

 Oh diba parang Boss lang ang dating hehe...

She loves watching videos talaga and yun lang pwede maka pag tame sa kanya even for hours....

kwento No. 2

here's my kwento No. 2...

Last friday nag kasakit ang aking MIL at dahil walang mag aalaga sa aking anak I decided to take her with me sa office. She was very bait a night before, hindi sya namuyat and she even woke up early para maka pag prepare. She we reached our office it's too early pa kaya hindi pa sya na hirapan mag adjust sa surroundings nya and even to people around her kaya lang hindi ko yata talaga ma aalis sa anak na mag taray whenever someone's around her and tried to kiss her, maybe she feels like they're going to kidnap her anytime, super scared sya sa tao I heard nga one of my office mate saying na "suplada"daw ang anak ko at hindi mahawakan, ang say ko naman "suplada"agad? hindi ba pwedeng hindi ka lang kilala at ma -ingat lang sa buhay nya kaya ayaw lumapit sayo? hmf!

The whole day went well super likot na ng baby ko, dati I can still work habang nasa stroller sya ngayon you have to watch her every move and whenever she feels mag lambing you have to give her your attention kasi pag hindi she'll make a mess like pulling off the mouse or dropping the telephone. She even walk around without her shoes sa buong lobby as in yapak kung yapak ang peg ng anak ko.

During that day ang dami ko na realize, na realize ko yung hirap ng working mom, na realize ko yung saya at na realize ko na lahat kaya ko gawin at magagawa ko pag dating sa anak ko.

Mahirap maging working mom since ang number 1 objective ng isang nanay is to give the best to our kids pero paano natin magagawa if half of the time or our time we have to spend working or being away with them, at pag naman kasama natin sila we have to make sure that her environment won't give them harm.

I think one of the hassle ko that day was when aina wasn't able to sleep sa ingay and wala sya matulugan kasi hindi kid friendly ang office namin, kaya she waited till 5pm to sleep sa taxi and when we got home you can't really disturbed her no matter what you do sa sobrang sarap ng tulog nya dahil sa pagod.

Happy with her cookies

No bed? We have tables keri na rin hehe

With her Tito Jef making bantay

:-)

Dami ko kwento....

Hi everyone! 

Super tagal ko na walang kwento, super busy din kasi ako lately since ber months na also hindi rin maganda ang health condition ko hehe due to weather rin kasi, well marami kami naging activity last last week that I wanna share to everyone and here they goes....

1.) Aina got her first proper hair cut...

Since October 15 was a holiday, Tatay and I decided to have a salon visit, we had it in Ricky Reyes Salon in Kapitolyo wala narin kasi sya time to have a hair cut dahil super late narin sya nakaka uwi lately. While waiting for my turn aina was making kulit, she run, sit and climbed everywhere buti nalang konti lang ang tao that time. She love looking at her self sa mirror as if she's playing with somebody on the other side of room, ang cute nya tingnan and super ingat sya sa pag takbo parang calculated nya ang galaw nya kaya hindi sya nadadapa or na uuntog. My turn came and she stayed with her tatay watching on her ipad...

See the pic? she's the little girl on the right...

after my turn I ask if they can also cut aina's hair, and they said they could try, and look at her

See super behave nya, I'm so proud kasi hindi sya malikot although hindi sya ng pa lagay ng cover because maybe she felt suffocated and kahit feel nya and hands ni ate she didn't move until I ask her to. Hindi namin na expect that she'll be a good girl that time super takot kami ni tatay kaya super hold din ako sa hand nya kasi baka bigla magwala. 

After Aina it was tatay's turn.....

tatay was laughing at me kasi super enjoy ko daw ang new phone ko at halos lahat ng gawin nila ni aina naka abang ako mag picture well ganun talaga siguro kung almost 5 years kang naka cellphone ng walang camera hehehe.

After we had our hair cut we walk around Kapitolyo and we landed our feet here sa Share Tea....

 the little girl making her rounds....

Tatay had the Hokkaido with Pearl and I had the Mocha

I thought Sharetea will be just another Milk Tea but I was wrong and I'm loving it more now hehe mas masarap sya for me and the place? super nice although small lang ang space nila they manage cleanliness nakaka refresh ang feeling when you're inside....

After Sharetea we had our picture taken in front of  Ace Plaza ang sosyal kasi hehe

Tatay and Aina wearing their new hair style

And that's me and Aina with my new hair style

Oh sya yan na muna later I'll post more....bye bye

:-)

Lola....

this was my lola during her healthier years...
 A woman with strong faith and always
believe that a light will always shine....

It's been two years...

October 22, 2011 around 11:00 am Saturday, it was a busy day for me for it was the only day I could prepare things for my upcoming wedding. Went home I was so excited to show my future husband the  cute souvenir I chose for our wedding, as I reached the door I saw him looking at me with a teary eye and gave me a look that I never wanted to see, then he showed me my phone with a txt message that say's "wala na si lola". I froze, i was shocked my mind scream my heart wanted to smile yet the pain is knocking me off. I hear my MIL telling me not to cry so hard that I should think of the baby inside me, but the tears are falling and the pain are digging deeper in my heart.

It's been two years yet the memory of that day remains in my heart, for in that day I lost the woman who become my source of life, strength, courage, happiness and knowledge. My grandma whom I can call my mother is gone, she left me a few days before my wedding and without saying goodbye to me. My tears are still pouring like it was yesterday, I miss my grandma so much. 

My grandma taught me all the things I need to learn in this world, all the things that life might show and most importantly all the things that I need to learn to be a mother that I am. She was my number one critic and also my number fan, she can tell me all the truth that I need to hear good or bad, she never got tired of helping me improve. All the kitchen techniques I got it from her, yes I did study but for me she's still the best teacher.

Indeed the best teacher the we could have in this world our parents and our parents Parents the ones we called LOLO and LOLA....

Aina may not have a chance to be with you but I know you love her too the way you love me and you will guide her whevere you are....

Walking Dead is Coming...

Wohooo!!!

Excuse me for being too excited, hindi ko lang po mapigilan ang super excitement dahil ang pinaka favorite series ko na THE WALKING DEAD is back! YES after a long months of waiting mapapanood ko na sya kaya hindi na ako mapakali ngayon at parang gusto ko na mag uwian para makita si tatay, pero hindi lang si tatay gusto kung makita but the copy of the first episode hehe

Walking Dead is our favorite bonding time, si tatay ang taga download at ako ang taga buy ng snacks, even when I was pregnant I still watch the series kaya whenever my in-laws hear aina scream they always call her "aina the walker" kasi ka boses daw nya hehe,

I know the story is weird for some but for me it's very thrilling, you can't predict what will happen next and even the "walkers"(zombies) are not that gross specially pag hindi ka sensitive to see internal organs or blood, and one thing I love is the way every actor bring their character, napaka natural lang and nakaka dala.

Hay can't stop my excitement hehe

Oh sya work work muna ako...

TBT time

Good Morning everyone! it's thursday once again and it's throwback time,

That's me and tatay during our catanduanes vacation in 2010...

and here's aina at 4 months...

my new eyeglass

Yehey!!!

Finally i was able to get a new eyeglass after a year.
Tnx to a very good friend of mine for introducing me to Trends Optical in here in San Juan.

Hehe I'm loving it now and I can say that I can see clearly now the blurriness has gone...

Oh Durian!

For people who knows me Fruits are my favourite food in the world, yet not all. There are certain foods that really makes me wanna eat it all day and some makes me wish I shouldn’t have tried it and I would say Durian is one of those fruit that I couldn’t really fall in love with.

Last month I felt like craving for  a certain food that I couldn’t know what kind, and feels like I’m looking for a smell that would gave me some comfort, I been going in and out of supermarket, fruit stands and still unable to find what I’m looking for, well  not until last night….

I was about to buy some diaper when I suddenly something caught my other senses that made me say “Wow” (hehe  though it wasn’t really that “wow” for others)  I found my comfort food, I knew It came from the fruit station so I went there to trace the smell and voila! I was surprise that the once “foul odor” for me now became the “wow” that I would love to have my tummy. Before I put it in my basket I really did assured myself that I’m going to eat it alone for I know people in our house don’t like fruit as much as I do, and Yes I promised myself that I’m going to eat it and I’m loving the scent more than others could.

On my way home people inside the FX are trying to cover their noses hehe but I don’t care as long as I’m loving it and it wasn’t that bad because I tried to cover it with 2 paper bags.

I was just wondering Durian is also a fruit but why does it smell so bad that most people doesn’t want to try it at all, and since Durian is also a fruit this probably has a lot of benefits that’s good for us.

So in this blog I’m going to make it more appealing than just smelling…

I browse the net and here’s what I found…

1.) Preventing and treating constipation (Fiber 37%)

2.) Helps prevent anemia (Folate 22%)

3.) Improve skin health (Vitamin C 80%)

4.) Helps maintain healthy bones (Potassium 30%)

5.) Regulate blood sugar levels (Mangan 39%)

6.) Encourage appetite (Thiamin 61%)

7.) Helps prevent depression (Vitamin B6 38%)

All food benefits are only effective once eaten moderately, so wag lang po hada ng hada sa pag kain kasi baka iba mangyari :-) 

I hope all the information given would give a different perception towards Durian.

Tips to stay Healthy the Nanay Way...

There are tons of tips over the net that helps you stay healthy and here are my own version...

1. Take Vitamin C everyday and all the Vitamins needed by your body.
2. Make sure to stay clean, washing your hands and taking a bath, pero mas mahalaga to keep your surroundings clean too dahil sa paligid ligid lang din natin pwede makuha ang sakit.
3. Eat Fruits at 1 fruit everyday kung hindi afford ng budget ang variety
4. When someone inside your household ang may sakit make sure to sterilize everything that he used to avoid transmission of virus.
5. Always have a bottle of Alcohol at home
6. Drink Plenty of water (I'm doing it now believe me hehe)
7. Sleep atleast 6-8 hours para laging maka pag re-charge ang ating body.
8. Stay Happy kahit daming problem, pag stress tayo ng weak din pati body natin so let's stay happy and bubbly always..:-) 

Yan lang po ang aking 8 tips of staying healthy and happy...

In Sickness and in Health

Hi everyone! Wonder why I haven’t got a word for so long? Well it was because nag kasakit kami mag anak last week as in Nanay, tatay at aina ang may sakit. Hindi ko alam how it came up pero ang hirap dahil kahit my sakit ako need ko parin alagaan ang mag ama ko, na realize ko tuloy yung hirap ng nanay ko before dahil sa anim kaming mag kakapatid at mag isa lang syang ng alaga samin paano nya kaya nakayanan yun?

 Iba talaga pag nanay ka kahit my sakit ka babangon at babangon ka para mag luto at mag pa inom ng gamot sa anak at asawa mo na may sakit, kaya uliran talaga ang dapat na bansag sa lahat ng ina sa mundo. The hardest part siguro during those times was whenever aina can’t get enough sleep because of her cough, nakaka awa lang parang gusto ko ng kunin yung cough nya kung pwede lang at kung pwede lang wag na sya mag kasakit ulit kaso need din naman ng body nya mag kasakit wag lang masyado worst at mapabayaan.

Dahil may sakit ako I filed for a two days leave pati si tatay naka leave din akala tuloy ng princesa long weekend kaya kahit my sakit gusto nya nasa labas kami at gusto nya pa hindi kami mag rest at puro laro lang ang gawin hehe sobra tuloy naming na enjoy ang mga days na halos ayaw na naming pumasok the next day hehe pero hindi pwde wala pa kami savings.

Sa two days stay ko at home na observe ko lahat ng galaw ng anak ko pag wala kami and in fairness ang bait nya pag si Mama Duce (Dulce) lang ang kasama nya, she plays on her own and when she got tired take a nap on her favourite pwesto, pero pag kami ang kasama nya walang katapusan ang pag lalambing gusto puro laro at gusto lagi naka karga. Siguro ganun talaga ang mga bata pag laging wala ang mga magulang whenever they get a chance to be with them sinusulit talaga nila, kahit simple pag lalaro lang gusto nila join din ang mga parents.

Sa pag kakasakit naming super laking tulong ng mga meds kaya nag papa salamat ako sa gumawa ng Biogesic, Tempra Forte, at Tuseran dahil sa inyo napagaan ang buhay naming..hehe *wink …

O bye bye muna!

Last pair again???

Good Morning everyone!

How was your sleep? ako kulang pa hehe

Just wanna share what happen to me last night in search of my new office shoes. Well it was really something that will make me cry whenever I remember that huhuhu anyway here's how it goes...

I went to robinson's galeria the other day to look for a shoe but I couldn't find one that I like and fits for my budget so I decided to move the next day which was yesterday. Yesterday I went straight to SM Megamall but since St. Francis Square comes' first I decided to check if there might be something that will caught my eye  fyi St. Francis is a home of bargains, they have a lot of cheaper product yet with great quality naman.

scene 1: St. Francis

Walking and saw a Bazaar schedule at the 4th floor

 Me: Oi! my Sale ang Celine! (a shoe botique)

lakad hanap ng escalator, pag dating ng third floor...

Me: ay nasan ang next escalator papunta ng 4th floor?
         (I ask the guard)

Guard:  Ma'm dun po sa left, kaso po wala pang laman sa taas kasi ng se-set up pa lang po ang Celine.

Yay! wala pa pala hehe

Then I proceed to SM Megamall...

Scene 2 : Megamall

I walk from Bldg. A to Bldg. B to look for Department Store...

Whenever I shop for my stuff I always scan my surroundings first and when something caugth my eye then that's it....

Me: Miss can I have size 7?

Sales lady: Ma'm size 7 na po iyan

Me: ah ok, so can I have a new stock?

Sales lady: Ma'm wait lang po kukuha ako...
after 10 years...

Sales lady: Ma'm sorry last pair na po yan

Me: Ok hanap nalang muna ako ng iba, *smile then walk out...

From Bldg. B walk back to Bldg. A

naka kita ng Payless shoe store

Me: ayun ito na ang bibilhin ko napaka comfy sa paa at mura pa.
       (went to the sale clerk) Miss can I have a new stock of this (showing the shoes)

Sales lady: Ma'm sorry last pair na po yan

Me: (handing another pair) eh ito my new stock?

Sales lady: wala narin po

Hay hay everytime I'm going to buy my new shoes it's always the last pair, last stocks, last size is it a jinx? hehe I'm beginning to think it is but why? Why me? and Why shoes? Kahit sa mga branded na shoes last pair din lagi hehe sabi ng husband ko sa tagal ko daw kasi bumili na bili na lahat ng iba kaya last pair nalang
lagi na iiwan sakin, my point?

anyway I get to buy parin naman something but I'm not sure how long will this last kasi mura lang and made in china.

     :-)

The Smile says HAPPY TUESDAY!

Worry free!

Hi everyone! how was your monday? ako medyo busy busyhan lang pero ok naman keri parin mag ikot sa mall before umuwi at mag hanap ng shoes para sa aking new uniform, pero hindi yan ang kwento ko today.

If last night mega emote ako dahil na delay ang aking period at mega afraid na baka may new baby na ulit well now, na wala  na ang worry ko kasi na stranded lang pala kaya ngayon lang sya dumating at base din sa PT ko around 2am this morning it's NEGATIVE... hayyyyyyy  naka hinga din ng maluwag at kahit papano thankful ako, mahirap din ang mag anak ng magkasunod db although syempre mas masaya naman kung dalawa na agad sila.

Pero alam nyo ba naka buo na ako agad ng name kahit wala pang confirmation hehe ganyan ka advance ang imagination ko pati nga kung paano ako mag buy ng mga clothes nya even the baby bottles naka pag plan narin ako paano mag save, kaso negative so itatabi ko nalang muna yan sa susunod na mag ka delay ulit ako.

As per my tatay's reaction naman here how it goes..

Me: Tatay I run a test already and it's negative

Tatay: (still sleepy) Ok ( natulog ulit)

hehe ganun lang as in OK lang ang nasabi nya wala na, ang sweet db?


:-) Happy Tuesday everyone! 

rainy sunday confuse day....

Ang bilis ng araw parang friday lang yesterday and tomorrow monday na ulit time for work and people I wish not to see hehe but ok narin kasi baka maging boring ang buhay ko pag walang challenge, wink* anyway let's just wait for that tomorrow... 

Since it's Sunday we were suppose to visit our favorite church in megamall kaso super ma ulan and medyo hindi maganda ang pakiramdam ko lately so we decided to stay at home nalang and
Sunday is family day as in family day kaya wala kaming ginawa mag hapon kundi mag laro,, aina with her new toy, me with our ipad and tatay with his laptop hehe ang galing noh kanya kanya kami ng mundo. Pero syempre hindi nawawala ang aming harutan moments and since uber kulit din ako ngayon pati si tatay namin todamax sa tawa and ang aking princesa palapit palang ang kamay ko giggle kung giggle na. Ang saya talaga pag sama sama kayong pamilya noh lalo na ngayong ma ulan at ma lamig na panahon ...awww* 

 Just wanna share something that's bothering me and my tatay right now, since thursday i get to feel dizzy again and I was thinking maybe because I' was about to have my period na so I just let it go and tried not to move often to avoid accident. Friday naman I was feeling bloated a little so again na isip ko maybe because hindi lang ako naka pag breakfast agad kaya ganun, and there come's saturday and yet no much awaited period parin at until now which is dapat nung 13 pa or 14, O oh! hindi kaya na stranded? hehe denial lang ang peg?? Sabi nga ni tatay kung may new member welcome kung wala pa thank you ang daling sabihin pero para sakin parang WHAT?? AGAIN? PAANO NA SI AINA? PAANO NA WORK KO? ang selfish ko ba? actually I'm not, it's more of fear fear of what will happen to us pag naging apat na kami, paano na si aina pag my ka share na sya ng time ko?. Hay! dami isipin pero ok lang god's gift parin naman ito if ever at  sabi nga nila the more the merrier! marami narin naman akong natutunan na alam ko makaka gaan ng buhay namin and makakatulong sa pamilya namin kaya sigurado keri na namin ni tatay ito.


Always remember there's a light at the end of the tunnel...:-)

bye bye muna!

My energy booster

Every time na aasar ako or nalulungkot all I do is  browse my daughter's pic from the day she was born and upto the present and parang magic boom! wala na lahat. Ganun yata talaga pag nanay ka na, ngiti lang ng anak natin masaya na tayo ulit, may lakas na tayo ulit to face the game at my dahilan na tayo to move forward. 
I grew up with my grandma and napaka new sakin ang feeling ng maging isang ina since hindi ko na nakasama ng matagal ang nanay ko, I only rely my thoughts based on others experiences and stories I read via internet, kaya when she came out I don't know how to react. PERO iba pala talaga pag nahawakan at nayakap mo na ang iyong first born, parang everything was heaven, ang saya na kahit kailan hindi matutumbasan the tears that falls from happiness. 

Whenever were together all I want is the time to stop and let us play together forever! kahit gaanu ako kapagod from work she never fails to energize me and pag my sakit sya all I wish is to take her pain away and to stay by her side, lahat ginagawa ko just to make sure that things won't come to worst minsan nga ang tawag na nila sakin mommy OA kasi konting ubo lang check up na agad, ang hindi nila ma intindihan is ayaw ko lang mag worsen ang lahat dahil mas mahirap yun para sa bata and syempre samin mag asawa.

My Husband and I really tried our best to give everything she needs at kahit gaanu ka hirap we always force our selves to work harder. Having her is the best thing that really happen in our lives and seeing her smile makes our world complete. 

here's aina @ 2 weeks

 I'll make kwento more soon...:-)

happy morning

Good morning everyone!

if last week I've felt the whole world around me, we'll this time let's try to make a change.

it has been a great start this morning dahil for the first time in 2013 my hubby and I had our breakfast together, and I wasn't in a rush going to work. Also I got to prepare everything  my daughter's need for the day, sarap din ng feeling pag you get to do things ng walang bigat and most of all pag happy ka sa surroundings mo.
Now it really makes me believe that a "Happy Mommy makes a happy family" though there's no special thing happen basta feel ko happy ako, and that there's a light after this tunnel that our family is getting through.

Just wanna make kwento of our activity yesterday..

tatay and I decided to go to megamall for a mass, and syempre kasama ang aming princesa, pag dating sa megamall super dami na tao sa church so we have to wait for the 6:00 mass at dahil kasama ang princesa ng adoration nalang kami para hindi mahirap pumila. while inside the adoration super yakap ang princesa sa akin and I realize takot ang anak ko sa super tahimik na lugar, feeling nya yata something's wrong. sa loob ng 15mins sa adoration chapel naka yakap lang ang anak ko sa akin kahit anong kulit sa kanya ng mga bata sa likod namin walang syang pakialam at nung ng decide na kaming lumabas that's the only time she let go of my neck.

lagi kung pray na sana lumaki si aina na god fearing, because I believe when she does everything follows kaya we really try our best na maka pag church every sunday and everynight I teach her how to pray kaya lang super baby pa yata talaga ang anak ko at puro laro pa ang na iisip.

O ito na muna for today, later ulit...


happy day!

Happiness where are you?

I've been struggling for happiness for a year now, I've been trying to make things work and pretending that everything will be ok and everything will work out when I stay. But I guess I just put myself to the limit and now I'm just waiting for my battery to shutdown.

I am a working mom, I work 8am to 5pm, I do the same job everyday. I would say that I'm lucky enough to have this kind of job, I only work from 8am to 5pm no over time, weekends off, holidays and most specially I have so much of a free time everyday due to very little duties I have. But all of this isn't giving me the happiness anymore,  I felt that I'm not growing, I'm not getting enough for myself and the worst is I'm not becoming who I should be.

 I started feeling the unhappiness when I gave birth to my first child I though it was just because I spent 2 months at home and never wanted to leave my child behind, but as the time flies my feelings never change and the more I fought for it the more reasons I get to leave things behind. But I realize that it wasn't really the job I'm not happy to but the people that I'm serving everyday. Maybe I just get tired of taking all the things around me, got tired of hearing the same words and pretending that I'm really a servant of all and trying to please people who doesn't really care of what you do. People often say that if you're not happy with it, then leave but it wasn't that easy for there are things that would suffer and so as the people you love.
Thinking of leaving things behind without another option is like a suicide for me as a mom, I can't afford to see my husband suffer from all my debts and see him working alone to provide for our family. Yet I don't know when will my battery shutsdown and what will happen afterwards, I just hope I'm already debt free before it happens.

I wish I can pay all the debt I have right now and when it happens I would be sending my resignation right away and try to give all my energy,time and effort to people who will forever be with me and knows how to appreciate me no matter what.

KPOP madness

Nung 6 months palang si aina si Dora lang ang lagi nyang hawak minsan si Mickey mouse pero si Dora hindi pwede mawala sa paningin nya at sa tuwing ma ririnig nya and theme song ng Dora,  yun na ang pinaka happy moments nya.

Pero ngayon mukhang may nadagdag na sa mga favorite ng baby ko dahil hindi lang si Dora ang tinitilian nya pati narin ang....GIRLS GENERATION! Oo the Korean Girl Group na magagaling sumayaw at kumanta (kahit hindi ko ma gets language nya). Dati akala ko sa mga cute and colorful clothes lang sya natutuwa, ngayon pati sa mga kanta nila at kahit hindi nya alam kung anong language yun, kinakanta parin nya haha kaloka lang!
Iba na talaga ang kids ngayon parang ang gagaling maka adapt.
Last night nga she was watching one of their music video and she saw  the girls wore something like this...(picture below)

ang colorful diba?and then look at what she tried to herself....

Ang pinag patong patong na dress, pj at short...

tanan! my little Girls Generation member!

hehe she really can't get enough of this group everyday routine na nya ang manood ng music videos nila, sana lang hindi sya mahirapan mag salita due to language confusion hehe  minsan kasi Dora speak spanish, tapos si Dibo-english, Girls Generation-korean at sa buong bahay tagalog.

Happy Day everyone! :-)

so sad....

nakaka lungkot naman kung kelan super excited ako and super na inspired to fight and learn more it turned out the other way, I can't elaborate more this time kasi it was too personal gusto ko lang ilabas yung dissapointment ko.

Why are there people that so insensitive, they just thought things they want to think not even thinking hard why do you really intended to do certain things. 

Well ganito nga siguro I really need to get the strenght, courage and will power by myself, I'll just make a plan for my self now and hopefully I'll be able to succeed.

......stop na muna ang drama

By the way I learned something new on budgeting this afternoon.

Dapat pala when you go the supermarket and you don't want to ruin your weekly budget you should not bring any grocery basket or cart, when you want to buy something and you know to yourself it wasn't that necessary then just hold it by hand and continue roaming around. When you can't handle everything na then you will think what item to leave behind and what Item to take to the cashier, by this you will learn how to control yourself of impulsive buying.

I don't know if you guys can control it but I did, napaka hilig ko pa naman mag buy ng kung ano ano and when I got home I'll realize I don't really need it pala so this afternoon was a really great learning from me.I just hope I will continue to discover more usefull techniques on budgetting.

Ok goodnight for now, gotta put aina to sleep. :-) i'll cherish this for now....
