a simple treat

2010-07-01T19:58:00.000-07:00

Wow, what a great feeling! After six long years of bein’ together as husband and wife, this is our first time to watch a movie together…weee, luv it! Papa Volt and I watched twilight saga: ECLIPSE..The movie is so touching..so sweet! I thought it’s only me who enjoyed the movie, but nah, papa Volt enjoyed it too. He didn’t sleep during the entire show instead he frequently asked questions. (interested?hehehe). But what I love most is the time spent being together. We spent the day alone. Really missed that part. At least at this very moment, Papa volt took time to be with me. Thank you papa Volt! Hope we could do this again sometime.. I love you Pa.

It's hard living in a place where everyone else's related. Felt like ur an alien invading their territory or u have a contagious disease that they don't wanna be contracted. Living in this place for 3 years molded me into what i am today..mature and responsible person (and am thankful for that). Never really thought i would grow as a person. (hahahh!). Nope,i didn't regret livin' here but i think the people around here regretted that i lived here..lol! Really, it's like am not welcome here ( i don't know, just felt it). I felt like a threat to them.. an enemy who’s ready to strike. Am i? uh-uh, just happened to have a slight misunderstanding with the people here. Is it not right to speak? Been keeping what I’ve felt for so long now and guess this is the right time to let them know. I wanna let them know that I have feelings too. But sad to say, they hated me for that, huh! Guess, this is how life goes. I have to accept that u can’t force people to like and appreciate you.

Zoe's 3rd Birthday

2010-06-10T22:30:00.000-07:00

We celebrated Zoe’s 3rd birthday at Jollibee, Bajada. The kids had fun with Jollibee and Twirlie (mga mommies and daddies 2.heheheh). T’was a memorable birthday for our little girl. She’s no longer afraid of Jollibee ( or any mascot na gumagalaw).. – it’s a sign that our little girl is no longer a baby. Sigh! I can still remember the days when I still breastfed her. She used to be so small that she’s so fragile to hold. But now she’s so energetic..full of life! Oh, time flies by so fast. It’s like closing your eyes and voila! our bundle of joy has grown into a kid we have hope 2 be.Thank you Lord.

It’s been a loooong night, huh! Voltaire was out playing basketball with friends (every MWF) and as usual we were left in the house. Before dinner time, Yaya ren told me that a cat was in our ceiling and had just gave birth. Zoe and I were watching a movie when suddenly we heard bottles shattering outside (or so I thought!). I thought the cat had accidentally stepped on the bottles. I told Yaya ren to see the noise outside. She came back seeing nothing. After a couple of minutes, we heard another shatter and she saw nothing. We did not mind it though. After a while, Zoe blurted she wanted to pee so she hurriedly went to the C.R. When Zoe opened the door, a giddy cat suddenly appeared on her way. Yaya ren was just as scared as Zoe when she saw what had happened to our bowl. I saw the cat face to face. The cat was dizzy and don’t know where to go even if I had opened the door. When I saw the bowl, t’was really broken to pieces and I saw fresh blood on the floor. I carried Zoe and dashed outside. I asked for Papalo’s help. He then fetched Papa Volt went to the police and huh, police’s theory: the cat accidentally dropped from the ceiling and hit the candle glass. Whaaaaat??? A cat could break a bowl like that? And how would u explain the blood? It’s just the cat’s blood..(daw!) waaaaaah! If you will just look at the scene, there are no footprints of the cat or human. But I saw the cat, clean, no bloodstain on her body and feet but dizzy. Really, up to now it puzzles me how on earth could a cat do such damage..Uugh, don’t wanna be stressed…All I need 2 do now is be prepared and pray for our safety.

Angel of God,
my guardian dear,
To whom God's love
commits me here,
Ever this day,
be at my side,
To light and guard,
Rule and guide.

Amen.

Think my heart’s gonna explode. Am full of anger right now. I wanna run where nobody could see me crying. Don’t know where to spill out my heartaches..my life’s secrets. Sometimes, I’d like to be in Nanay’s arms and be cuddled. Wish I have a magic wand…, Right now, am untouchable..am VERY hot! Guess crying and praying is my only option this time.

Having a wireless connection for almost 5 months at our own premise is so enticing that Papa Volt stays late. He’s so addicted to FB games that even after a basketball game (usually he’ll be home at 11:00 in the evening) he spends time to play with it. Staying late = no communication. Made me really sad. Felt we’re being left-out. Before, Papa Volt, Zoe and I sleep together. Usually, we talk when our baby is asleep. After his basketball evening game (minus the wifi connection) , he wakes me up and talks about everything he could think of esp. the funny things that happened during the game. Although half-awake, I would always listen to his stories and make conversations. And the result, he ends up sleeping while am now fully conscious.(hahahh!).. Guess this scenario will gonna happen again soon now that the WIFI connection’s been cut-off by maDAMN! (hehehe!). Don’t know if I’L get mad or be happy with the situation right now. Oh yeah, don’t have the right to get angry since it’s hers. It’s better to thank her for bringing Papa Volt back 2 us .Thank you maDAMN! :P (ang bait ko..is dis really me?lol!).

All Things Bright and Beautiful

2010-05-20T17:58:00.000-07:00

This is a well-loved poem by my little angel. In fact, she memorized this in just a matter of 2 weeks ( at age 3!)Wow, am impressed!It's a God- given talent. (Thank you, Lord!).

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.

The rich man in his castle,
The poor man at his gate,
God made them, high or lowly,
And ordered their estate.

The purple headed mountains,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning
That brightens up the sky.

The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.

The tall trees in the greenwood,
The meadows where we play,
The rushes by the water,
To gather every day.

He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.

The movie is a tear-jerker. It's very light but realistic. It made me realized that it's important our dad knows our true feelings. We shouldn't be keeping secrets from them. We should treat our mom and dad equally important. What mom can do, dad can do it too. The only difference is how they show their love towards their children. What matters is their unconditional love for us. Love the movie!

"Friendship is not friendship without trust, without it I walk alone." - James P. Michels Jr.

"To be trusted is a greater complement than to be loved."- George Macdonald

U know the feeling of not being trusted by a friend? Yes, I have friends . But are they really? Ever since we’ve became friends I’ve never been trusted even with a single secret..I’m always left out with no secrets to keep. No one trusted me because they think I have a big mouth- a blabbermouth.Aarghh, just the thought of it makes me sad. Makes me wanna cry. Am I really a telltale type person? Do my friends know me well? I thought a friend knows you better inside and out more than anyone else. Don't wanna dwell in the past though because I have found a friend who trusts me all the way and am really grateful. Oh, the feeling of being trusted..I luv that feeling.. It feels like I’m a real friend. In friendship, nothing can make us happy and feel accepted than being trusted even with a trivial secret. Thank you my dear friend!

SLogan contest result

2010-04-05T19:06:00.000-07:00

I wasn’t able to write the result of the slogan contest earlier because I was really disappointed with the result..Nope, I am not a hard loser. Uh-uh! It’s just that the criteria and the rules of the contest were changed at the very last minute. The criteria of the slogan should coincide with the theme “the urban center in a garden setting” written in 20 words. Creative and unique. But hey, the judges, in the final hour, wanted one to three words only. Plus, they wanted the contestants to explain and do the hands-on how they have come up with their design. Huh, really funny isn’t it? The contest was a disaster as I see it. My second dummy entry was chosen in the top 5 though but opted not to explain because was discouraged. Imagine seeing an entry with the slogan “amazing samal”. Original? I think not. Agree with the theme? clearly not. It did win as second placer. Waaaahhhhhh! But I am grateful to have joined the contest. I learn to appreciate and enjoy photoshop..and of course, the 400-peso consolation prize. It helped. Hehehhe.

life cycle

2010-03-15T22:41:00.000-07:00

I missed my lolo and lola. I missed my childhood days. I missed everything in my younger years. Everytime I talked about my childhood to my daughter am always teary-eyed. Zoe loves to hear about my childhood days. Every night, she wants me to tell her my story over and over again. I love those days...riding in a carabao together with my siblings..in a wagon carried by a goat..playing on the shore under the heat of the sun..playing in the rain, swimming in the pond together with the carabao and cow (tried that?) riding a bicycle, climbing trees… carried on the shoulder by tatay…Oh, i missed being a kid..I cringe at the thought that these things will not happen again. Wanna cry. Sigh!

Life is indeed a cycle.. we’re born, get old and die..Born, to experience the beauty of life..Get old, to share to our grandkids what is life before them...and die, to let our kids know that it’s their time to get old..(hehehhe)..Yet I am grateful to God that I have been given a chance to live in this world to share it with my loving and wonderful Tatay and Nanay and siblings not to mention giving me a chance to be a mother to Zoe (thank you dear Lord!)

For the past weeks, I’ve been busy doing my entry for the city’s slogan contest. Duh, I wasn’t thinking it would be that difficult that I’d gladly accepted the invitation. Gosh, the task drained me.. have to lay-out the design (thought just have to paste pictures like a collage.), have to think of a catchy phrase..Huh, there’s so much work to be done..Wanna raise the white flag but motivations from my colleagues keep me goin’( not to mention the consolation prize..hehehe!) ..oh well, well, am finally done..just crossing my fingers…weeeeeeeeeeeeee!( 2 entry's not bad, eh?) lolz!

It’s barely 9:00 o’clock in the evening. Sleeping time. Zoe and I were brushing our teeth when suddenly Mommy Nic’s shouting hysterically to close our doors because there’s somebody sneaking outside our house. Don’t know what to do..kinda’ shocked. Papa Volt’s not around. The brush was left in my mouth making me speechless. I hurriedly carried Zoe to our room and locked the door. I told Yaya ren to get the knife in case he will force himself to get in. (just in case huh!). I banged the kitchen door to frighten him and he did jump from our fence (tough guy, eh!). Gee, Mommy Nic is just as tough as the would-be robber (hehehe). She shouted at him pointing the lights of the motorcycle towards his direction. He escaped in haste from our compound and walked casually on the street. Nah, the story doesn’t end there. Mommy Nic pursued the would-be robber calling for help from the “istambays”in our area then fetch Charlie and Papa Volt. After a couple of minutes, the “istambays” caught him but pretended to be drunk. He reasoned that he was just looking for his missing motorcycle..Grrrrrr! How could he be? When he was spotted in our house sneaking, he’s acting like he was up for something. He acted suspiciously. Oh c’mon, when u are drunk u don’t act suspicious. U don’t sneak.. u can’t even jump on fence without stumbling. And just this morning, the would- be robber left some stolen stuff from the spot where he was caught. He was not put to jail though since the policemen insisted to inform the incident to the barangay chairman for settlement. Nonetheless, the incident was in the police blotter.

Huh, I thought living in the countryside is peaceful (waaaaahhhh!!). The incident scared me to death aaarrrgghhh! This was the 3rd incident. Now, am planning of owning a gun for self defense ( Gosh, I am a peace-loving person!).

The bomb had finally detonated. Huh, but no regrets. Finally, i have let loose of what i've been keeping for sooooo long. It's hard for me to keep goin' everyday when I have this feeling of resentment. And now at last am free! I know I should've hold back my temper but I was carried away by my anger..(anger management eh?). I don't know but I think it's the right thing. Oh yeah, yeah , I know should've acted professionally, in a mature way. But heck, t'was too late for me to realize..damage was already done. Sigh!
Sorry dear Lord..

* expiration date *

2010-01-29T17:50:00.000-08:00

Are you in favor of the proposal of the feminist group 1-ABAAM on a 10-year expiration on marriages that would give couples the opportunity to review their relationship, and decide whether to continue or not with the union?

First hour in the morning, my colleague brought out this intriguing issue. The office went out of control for awhile expressing different views regarding the 10 year expiration on marriage. Everybody has a say to it;

Maring Lordz: Haaaay, better because been living in hell for quite a while now and if that will be put into bill I will no longer renew my vow with my husband..10 years is more than enough!weeeeeeee!

Ate Vi: well, if that’s the case, if my husband will not renew our vow after 10 years, I will never force him, I’ll just let him go.

Madam Janette: Nothing to worry about because I know my husband will renew our vow over and over again. (astig!)

Sirams: Very good idea..Kaya nga ang nakalagay e marriage contract..Ngayon me contract na talaga..(bwahahahhaha!)

Dadispie: Am not in favor because the family is the heart of the society.When a man marries a woman they are bound as one. Marriage is sacred and if it'll be approved the sanctity of marriage will be gone.(PSL c dadispie)

My opinion: Even if my husband will not renew our vow, I will force myself to be with him. I don’t care what cost it may take as long as we’re together (pilitan portion.lolz!)Well, kidding aside, i think this is a stupid idea. What on earth have they been thinking? In the first place, it is wrong for couples to separate and here comes a proposal for them to precisely separate. They should think of its consequences and the most serious concern is the emotional trauma on the children whose parents separate. Besides, this will just result to population explosion.

Maybe next time if the feminist group 1-ABAAM wants to get some attention, they'd better do something that will empower women in a decent way. Their purpose is good however, the effect is bad for the society.

....AMEN

Tomorrow’s a working day so gotta go home to our beloved island (spent my weekend in Tatay and Nanay’s house) and since it’s raining cats and dogs outside, left my baby in Mamami’s care. Papa volt called to say he’s staying with my baby in Davao. Golly, am spendin’ the night alone..waaaahhh! Am not used to being alone. Am always with Zoe or Papa Volt. This is my first time to be on my own. Huh, it’s very quiet and feel empty and cold. The night’s too long.. And the rain continue to pour heavily. How i wish it’s already morning. I missed Papa volt but more than anything else missed my little girl. Missed our story for the night ( Zoe luvs to listen stories especially if it’s horror..astig!). Ahhhhh, gotta sleep now. don't wanna prolong the loneliness………zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Celebrating fiesta in rural areas will not be complete without our national pastime- that is "SABONG"- been observing that for almost 2 years now while living in Samal. In fact, last Sunday was my first time to be in a gallera and i was kinda' shocked with the crowd. I thought they were arguing but huh, they weren't. They were calling for bets. Shouting the words, Mayron-Wala, Dyes-ti, Kwatres, Haysku (can't remember other words they were shouting sa dami di kayang imemorize.hehehhe). Whooaa, it's kinda noisy in there. Having a hard time breathing (halos lahat ng mga maton present). Who brought me in the gallera and who else but my ever beloved husband uuggh! Voltaire loves cockfighting. Actually, he grew up with it. His father and uncles were fond of “sabong” and he adopted that fondness. When we were still sweethearts told him to get rid of his gamecocks because it’s so disgusting having a gambler for beau. And he actually did (long hair ang lola!lolz!). But hey, don’t assume yet, it’s just a way to impress me (lalaki nga naman, huh!) because when we got married he’s back to business again. Aarrggh! Guess its running in his system.

Anyways, back to my experiences in the gallera, they were all shouting- cheering their gamecock. I thought the cockpit would knock down ( sa dami ba nman ng tao, huh!) but thank goodness, it didn't. Mind you, there were also women betting for their fave cock. In fact, I saw one who owns a gamecock but went home early (guess running out of funds..hehhe). Am really wondering what makes them please watching the gamecocks fight til their last breath. Is it the pleasure or the money. (think..think..think.)..Voltaire replied both. By the way, did I mention I won??? wahahahhahah!!!

It was sort of a reunion before Jacinto flies back to Qatar on January 19. Last time he went home six months ago, he gave us a treat at Crocodile Park.(so sweet!). The kids really had a good time switching from the beach to the pool. Lorena, Virlyn, Mai, At-at and I enjoyed chatting the whole day while the boys were busy with their friend "san mig light". It was fun all day- reminiscing our college days' kakulitan. But we've missed Bonna and Patrick. They were not able to come. Although, Bonna is not quite interested in meeting with us (galit kasi di sinipot ang kasal 3 yrs ago, eh kinuha ba kaming ninang. lolz!), we really missed her (sori bon di kami sumipot) and Patrick ??? huh, TAKUSA...takot sa asawa..bwahahahha! Hope next you can come and enjoy with us. It's good to know that although we have our own families now, we still bond with each other just like the good ol'days..Thanks guys! til then.

It's been a looooong night whew!I was watching 9 (a 2009 animated fantasy film/action film which stars Elijah Wood)) and all of a sudden Voltaire went inside the house full of blood. Gosh! my spirit went away from my body for a second. My whole body trembled.I asked him what had happened. I thought he was stabbed but was not. Here's the real story.....His father got into an argument with a bystander and a commotion occurred. Voltaire pushed his father and was hit in the railings ( who's the culprit? hehehe) that's why his Pop was full of blood. Voltaire carried him home and the blood stained him huh! We waited for the police and heck, took them 20 minutes to arrive when in fact the police station is not far from our house (the role of a policeman of course) wahahahahhah! And everything was all settled at the police station i assumed but nope, it wasn't. i don't know when this will end. I wont have peace of mind until it's all done.

I was so upset with Voltaire. Called him many times but never answered. He was in his mom’s house. Grrrrrrrrrr! How I wish we were never so close to their house. He always do that but I was never used to it. His daily routine? Well, he feeds the chickens, clean-up the chicken’s mess then sets off to his mom’s house. Awww, it hurts me. He doesn’t want to stay at home. Always end up playin' with our little girl. After he's finish eating, or after doing chores I gave him, he jumps off and go straight to his mom’s house. I confronted him ‘bout going there everyday but he had so many alibis. He’ll never run out of excuses. Sigh! Guess, I’ll have to accept that he’s a Farmtown and Farmville adddddddiiicccct!!(that's the very reason he keeps coming back to his mom's house.)waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!

Blue Team is composed of the City Accounting Office, City Planning Office, City Engineering, City Fisheries and City Agriculture Office..Blue team is the enemy of all teams..(reklamador, pag natatalo walang alam kundi magprotesta.But who cares, Blue Team still got the over-all champ.

There, Chad Borja serenaded us with his soulful voice… Aside from JHAL, Butchikoy, Ryan, May2, Raquel, Wendy (Hazel's kid) and a certain Jeoffrey (Chain’s newly acquired BF..wahahahahha!sssshhhhhh!) were also around. Luz and I went home early though because of our kids. Nevertheless, we really enjoyed the night. Got drunk with ice tea. lolz!

Lovy Chin’s birthday bash

2009-07-21T18:38:00.000-07:00

PETER PAN, CAPTAIN HOOK AND TINKER BELL on the mooovvveeeeee!weeeeeeeee!

We attended Lovy’s Birthday at Ladislawa Country Club last night. It was a night to remember. Zoe won as tinkerbell.. weeeeee! Kuya Raphael also won as Peter pan… Kuya Andre didn’t win but carried himself perfectly as Captain Hook…

Well, I really didn’t think Zoe would win as tinkerbell…u see, she didn’t care about winning.. teeeheeeee! (ako lang..ahahahhah! ) She just strolled and played during the entire celebration- roamed around and amazed at the colored lights in the place. During the costume presentation, she’s outside busy playing..hehehhe.. I carried her inside but kept on going outside waaahhhhh, so I never cared about her winning…The party host announced the winner…

And the winner is.. ZOE as Tinker Bell…yyiiiiiipppppeeeeee! (for female)
KUYA RAP-RAP as PETER PAN ( for male)

Thank you.Thank you....

Treat and treat

Our friend, Jacinto Duron, who is working at Qatar, went home for a 1-month vacation. We were excited to see him because he promised to give us a treat. Jojo as we fondly called him is the only person I know na “may built-in mic” (sa lakas ba naman ng boses..hehehhe)..Anyway, as promised, we went to Malagos Garden. Unfortunately, it’s the owner’s birthday and it was closed. huhuhu! Malas! It’s raining cats and dogs pa naman outside….waaaahhhhh!We stayed for a while and took our lunch then packed our things and decided to go to Crocodile Park instead. Yiippppeeeeee, sun’s shining brightly..Kuya Andre, Ate Sofie, Ate Mia and Baby Zoe had a great time viewing the animals especially PANGIL, the biggest and oldest crocodile in the park. The kids, though hesitant, enjoyed touching the animals paraded during the show.

Thanks 2ron…We enjoyed so much. Next time ulit..hehehhe

I wish this day did not happen. If only I could turn back time. I wish a have a magic wand and with just one spell this day would not happen. I was hurt..really, really hurt.. God knows how angry I am. Forgive me dear Lord.

Grrr..grrrr

2009-06-23T23:22:00.000-07:00

I want to scream.. wanna show am angry. I hate my boss. She doesn’t care about her staff. Many times she told me that to be promoted on a higher position is through laddering. That’s how government position works. You see, I’ve been a casual employee for about a year and half. A lot of vacant positions were opened that time but she kept on telling me I can’t step on others' opportunity. I’ve waited for so long until my time came. yiipeeee! But, my oh my, what happened? I’ve been stepped on. The laddering style wasn’t put into practice. Felt bad about it. Really. But she doesn’t care about my feelings and I hate it. Now, there’s a vacant position but she didn’t even announce it. Am thinking what’s her plan..nothing.she doesn’t want me to be promoted. that's all. And i hate it.

For my Tatay

2009-06-21T20:56:00.000-07:00

Tatay, thank you for being a good father to us.
You are a good provider to your family.
You spent your life working to provide us a better life.
Without you, we will never be the kind of person we are now.

We will be forever grateful that God has given you to us.
We love you so much. We may not be very vocal about it but our action speaks a lot.
Thank you Tatay Lito.

We love you!

Darn. I’m really in dire need of money…bills.bills.bills. waaaaahhhhh!!! When will this end? or will it? To pay all these bills, I’m forever stuck with my job here..I guess. :(

My husband and I worked at a Local Government Unit. We have a stable job, okay, but it isn't enough to support us. (sa dami ng utang huh!) /sweat

To the rescue…..tantarantaran…my hubby. He plans to work outside the country minus his family-us..huhuhuhu..He’s really making all the best possibilities to push through his plan. Striving hard. Doubling his efforts. Me, I don’t know where I am. I’m confused yet supporting him. I don't know what to do.Is it really worth sacrificing for the sake of money???waaaaahhhhh.. Help me dear Lord.

A day at Canibad, Aundanao, IGaCoS

2009-05-31T20:43:00.000-07:00

Voltaire, Zoe, Hazel, Wendy and I went to Canibad, Aundanao to spend the day with Jenelle and Russel. Jen and Russel celebrated their 3rd year anniversary as sweethearts….Jen wanted to experience the world of Russel- like mountain climbing, trekking, adventures in other words.. .And so they spent it at Island Garden City of Samal. We enjoyed our once-in-a-blue-moon get together though.

But Zoe enjoyed so much burying herself in the sand. She loves it!

with ate Wendy..

Trip to remember...

2009-05-10T20:11:00.000-07:00

CAMIGUIN….a sweet escape.

It was the most memorable trip we ever had as a family. Ate Jane, Kuya Andre, Kuya Rap2 and Baby Zoe were so excited. They slept early because the family planned to leave Davao at early dawn. Tatay Lito, as usual, slept early ( tired from farm works). Nanay Letty, Ate Joy and Ate Joyce prepared our “paraphernalia” for the trip. Out of excitement, Tito Jimboy, Tito Jason and Papa Voltaire did not dare close their eyes for a nap..hehehe. At 12:30 in the morning, Tito Jonas and Tita Chut, our driver and hubby of Tita Chut arrived with his Toyota Grandia (whooooaaaa, comfing-comfy talaga..:P) . Tita Chemie, Ate Liezel and Kuya Emong were ready to go and our kids? guess what? Sa sobrang excited nagising ng bumusina si Tito Jonas para mag-ready.hehehhe We packed our things and foods and go..go…go……

The road’s so quiet and clear. We traversed Butuan Road. We arrived at Balingoan Port at 7:00 in the morning and at 9:00 we were in CAMIGUIN..yiiipppeeee!!!

Our first stop, KATIBAWASAN FALLS

The water’s soooo cooolllld…brrrrrrr…luv it!

fun..fun..fun..

2009-02-14T23:13:00.000-08:00

Together with our friends, we’ve spent our Valentine’s Day at Blue Jazz Resort. It was fun frolicking under sun. Zoe enjoyed the slides and the water sprayer.She had so much fun with ate Sofie and ate Kayre at the pool. Ninang Ren, Ninang Birlon , Tita Marites, Tito Jojo were also present. It was an unforgettable day!

This is my family..

I really didn't expect i will become a wife and a mother .I can still recall when i'm still young am not the girly type-i love to play boys' games (u see those boys playing "takyan", climbing trees, riding bicycle, playing "holen"& rubber bands and doing naughty things to classmates??? m one of them..hehhe.) Gosh, I always feel am one of the boys..I don't even feel "kilig" when a cute guy passes by in front of us and all my friends blushes. Oh, my i missed that part!"kung maibabalik ko lang"! sigh :(

I didn’t have any relationship with boys until I graduated and found a job. When i met my husband-to-be, that was when am working at an LGU, i don't find him attractive but he befriended me...took me 2 dinner dates and help me with my assignments (I took up my Masters degree)..He’s the only man I gave my big YES to (one very lucky guy..hahahhah!) . He taught me that love wont hurt (ulk!) and the rest is history..hehehe.

When I got pregnant my whole life changed. I can’t believed am carrying a baby..wow, it’s an indescribable feeling. Only a mother can feel it. Thank God I delivered her normally.

You see you can't dictate destiny.. Am destined to be a wife and a mother..yup, but i didn't regret being one because i just loved being a dotting mother to my beautiful girl and caring wife to my ever loving (??) hubby..:D

Thank you Lord for my family, :D
