Back to workforce

Yeah you heard me. I just wanna share my new life.. I am back to workforce. Oh well I have one week trial and let’s see if I will really bag this job. I really hope so

Working mom at home

 

My son is getting ready for school

Yesterday I called CSA Makati and inquired about my son going to their school. I just learned that there’s no Nursery 1 and 2 now, it’s just Nursery now. And he is actually still young according to their school official to go to school. But I have informed them that it’s for school year of 201 so they entertained me inquiries.

As I was told, I can bring my son this coming September (whole month of September) and have him take the exam. I also informed them that as of the moment, my son can’t talk straight but he can fully understand what we are saying. One good thing about CSA is that you can actually set the interview on the later that until your child is fully mature.

As a mom, I am excited as my child takes this new journey in his life. Being in school, is a new experience for him. But I know for a fact, he will love it. He loves learning and making new friends. And being in school is a great venue for him to have this opportunity.

Right now we talk to him a lot. Ask him to repeat after us so he can construct simple sentences. I am fascinated how fast he can grasp every single word I say. Then we also teach him colors, ABC, shapes and how to build blocks. He already memorized his body parts and now learning few colors. Plus he can fill in the blank already Jack and Jill, Baa Baa Black Sheep, Humpy Dumpy and Twinkle Twinkle little stars.

I really hope by September, he can start talking now and passed CSA exams with flying colors.. Go baby, you can do it…

I’ll keep you updated on how it goes with our daily practice with him.

 

Before I was a mom

I am not sure if I have this already here. But I have received this a long time ago through my friend and I must agree that it definitely describes how I feel as a mom.

Before I was a Mom – I made and ate hot meals. I had unstained clothing. I had quiet conversations on the phone.

Before I was a Mom – I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed. I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.

Before I was a Mom – I didn’t worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations

Before I was a Mom – I had never been puked on, wet on, spit on, chewed on, or pinched by tiny fingers.

Before I was a Mom – I had complete control over my thoughts, my body, my mind. I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom – I never held down a screaming child so that doctors could do tests, or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep

Before I was a Mom – I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn’t want to put it down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I could not stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom – I didn’t know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn’t know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn’t know that bond between a Mother and her child. I didn’t know that something so small could make me feel so important

Before I was a Mom – I had never gotten up every ten minutes, in the middle of the night, to make sure that all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderfulness, or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn’t know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

 

 

 

Instinct.. (meme 2)

As a woman, we always get confused with our instinct. But in my case, I always follow it. In my entire adult life, I think I never had a faulty radar on this one. I always get my instinct right.

Hahaha this blog is not about life, just wanna express how I think those two girls thought I will never detect their insanity haha… It’s funny how they think they can fool the whole world but by just meeting me, it oil went into ruins.

Now now, girls, always follow your instinct. Once you think there’s something wrong, do the investigation. Most of the time, it will never be wrong.

To these two hoochies === BOOYAH!… haha

 

Suburban Resto Grille

Last night our family went out to have family dinner. We decided to try the Suburban Resto Grille. Hubby is a long time friend of the Chef and Co-owner of this resto.

We have decided to have kare-kare, inasal, liempo, baked mussels, java and garlic rice.

Hubby’s been telling me how good Richie’s inasal and kare-kare. So we did have little chit chat while waiting for our food. When it arrived,

I first tasted the garlic rice and their inasal. OMG! The garlic rice it’s very nice, flavorful and very unique. As we all know, rice will be served in a form of a cup on our plates right, but this garlic rice, the moment you break it, there’s an additional surprise since it will give you a added flavor and color. So the garlic rice will turn into yellow and it tastes really good.

Then next is the Kare-kare. All I can is PERFECT! The bagoong is really good. It was really made from scratch. Not the usual packed bagoong you will find. This resto cooked it from scratch and made it special just for their kare-kare.

Then their baked mussels. OH MY! Very delicious. I really love the crispy garlic and cheese added on top. Not the typical baked mussel cheese and garlic I must say.

The ambiance is very quiet. This resto is located at Club 650 near Shopwise in Libis. They also accept Catering and packed lunch.

Here’s there contact info:

Address

• Nuvo City # 125 E. Rodriguez Jr. Ave., Libis Quezon City

Contact Details (02)585-8034 (For delivery and reservation)

I apologize for not being able to post pictures here. But I promise the next I go back there, I will take pictures… So guys in case you’re around area, try and visit their resto. They are serving Filipino dishes and a place definitely worth going back.. Their Inasal, Kare-Kare and baked mussels ROCKS!

 

I can’t live without you (FOR REAL?!)

Does the line sounds familiar to you? Does it ring a bell? I am pretty sure it is.

I have heard a lot of this from other people telling their partners how much they love them. That they won’t survive without them. I won’t be a hypocrite I USED  to be one of them. But are they really true? Is it really possible?

I used to be saying this line to my exes and my hubby. But as I grow old I realized that it is all just something to say to express our feelings. But in reality, we can all survive after heartbreak.

Before we met them, we are all 100% functioning really well. Then we meet them. We fell in love with them. They become our world. But I have read that LOVE IS JUST A CHEMICAL REACTION.

So if it’s just a chemical reaction, then that means we can totally survive without them. When we go through break ups, actually what we felt is more of regret. Regret for all the time and energy we spent on the relationship. Not all of us can think that clearly right after break ups. Most of the time, we all think we are really heartbroken but actually we’re not. It’s the same thing, our mind releases a hormone that makes us feel sad and depressed. Can heartbreak really occur?

So whatever we’re feeling now, it is all about the chemical reactions of those hormones we are releasing. I am not saying you can overcome it immediately. It is still a process. But definitely you will be able to survive it.

 

Happiness

Happiness is something you need to find within yourself. You cannot rely it to other people. They may leave you then what will happen to you? I remember I read somewhere, “If you cannot be happy being single/alone, then how can you be happy if you’re taken”.. So true right?

Being dependent on other people for your own happiness doesn’t help you at all. Relying on them is like relying your entire life.

You must first realize and learn that you need to be happy with yourself alone. You need to find that inner peace and happiness within yourself. Only you can find that. Only you can make yourself happy.

Others will make you happy eventually but once you have not found that inner peace and happiness, when they leave you will be miserable and might also think that you cannot be happy without them or without special someone.

Happiness is something we do for ourselves. It is something we need to find within us. REMEMBER ONLY US HAS THE POWER TO CHANGE OUR LIFE AND OUR DESTINY.

 

Choices in Life

In life we only have two choices, TO BE HAPPY or TO BE MISERABLE. I chose to be happy.

I was diagnosed with cyclothemic disorder it’s a mild bipolar but curable. I don’t need to have any medication, just keep on exercising to release my endorphins and talk therapy.I chose to be happy inspite of my condition. I don’t want it to be a hindrance of having a normal life.

Stress will always be part of our lives but it’s how we handle and face them. Whenever I feel so stressed and sad, I choose to write. It’s my venue to express how I feel. I am happy writing. Even I write about nothing, I just love to write and read comments from my readers. THIS IS MY TALK THERAPY.

I don’t want to be miserable. I don’t like that feeling, who does right? So instead of feeling so lonely and bored, I write and try to meet new friends even if its just online. It keeps my sanity intact. I know I won’t have a fairy tale life but if I choose to live in that, I will. Remember you have the power to change. I choose to be happy, not just for myself but for my child. He needed me. He needed a mom he can depend on.

I try to put on smile on face even there are days I just feel like crying. Why? So I can attract positive vibes. Channel yourself in thinking of positive things. Challenge yourself to change negative things to make it positive.

And most of all, think yourself a God’s wonderful gift to those who knows you. Nothing beats knowing that you are a special gift given to them. Smile. Live life to the fullest. Never regret. And most of all Love with everything you have.

SO CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY.

 

 

Meme

3 years and 9 months ago, there’s this guy whom I talk to about anything. We shared a lot about our personal lives. I remember joking this guy, “I don’t like you.” And whenever I would ask him if he as a replica, he would always tell me “We better off as friends”.

Moving forward, 2012, this is the same guy I am with now. The greatest husband and father. Who would have thought from those simple jokes will lead to something more special.

Thank you for loving me unconditionally. For trusting me to become your partner and become the mother of your child. I will love you till my last breath and will stand beside you no matter what happens. If I will be given a chance to turn back time, I wouldn’t change a thing. I would still choose to be with you.

I love you so much.

 

 

Are you really happy?

Most of the time it is very difficult but would be very beneficial for someone who is carrying a lot of problems, pains, troubles to just put a smile on their face even though these circumstances are in fact weighing them down. Whatever is your mood, it will greatly affect people around you specially people who are depending on you. Most of the time, we are bound to put and pretend to be happy so we cannot also drag them down with the negativity we are feeling and experiencing at the moment.

It takes a lot of courage to put a smile on your face with all the troubles you’re having now and continue moving forward. It is a challenge I know but I remember my husband saying to me.. “What is life without a challenge love?”… If we keep that smile on our face and keep on thinking about positive things about our life, we can certainly affect the vibe of our surrounding. We exude the positivity or negativity around us. I am pretty sure you don’t want anything negative so you need wear this smile even if it is very hard at the moment.

Remember, pretending even if you’re not is just showing how strong you are.
