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)
