Greener Pasture

My sister and I were talking the other day. We were complaining about how hard it is now to live here in the city. We both agreed that it is so much easier to live in the province. There life is fun. Easy. No pressure. Fresh air and food.

She just went there for a 3-week vacation last April. She remembered vividly how people here in the city queued to buy the NFA rice while, surprisingly, people there in the province did not care for the NFA rice at all and preferred to buy the commercial rice.

Life in the province is great. You will have more time for yourself and your family. Unlike here in metropolis where the time you would have spent with your family will just be consumed with the heavy traffic! It’s really nice to live in a peaceful place. Eventually, when the time is right, my family will go back to my husband’s province in Aklan.

Life is what you make it

I attended the Sunday service yesterday. Coach Jane explained about the pains that we experience in life. She said that these miseries, these pains are necessary to make us stronger. She also showed us videos about Nick Vujicic , the man born without arms and legs but was able to live life to its fullest. I was all teary eyed when the video was finished. He is amazing!

Good job, Adie

Since we had the new baby, my 3-year old son, Seandy had to sleep on the other room. He was accompanied by my mother. But when his Tita Myan (my sister in-law) arrived from Aklan to visit us, she was the one to accompany my son.

Sometimes when I am not doing anything and am not busy with my baby girl, I send Seandy to bed. I sent him to bed one night and when it’s time for us to say our bedtime prayer, he stopped me. He said, “No, mommy.” He then continued praying the one taught by his Tita Myan and then proceeded with our normal bedtime prayer. It was an old Catholic prayer and it goes like this:

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,
to rule and guide.

I was amazed. He had memorized the whole prayer!

I have always known that my kid has a good memory. When he was about 2 years old he had already memorized 32 pieces of flash cards with different animals. I just can’t wait for him to go to school. We already enrolled him in pre-school. Hope he does well with his studies too.

Bubbly

I heard this song and I liked the melody. This is the song “Bubbly” by Colbie Caillat.

Being a Mother

We have just celebrated Mother’s day couple of weeks ago. That was the 100th celebration of Mother’s day counting from 1908 when Anna Jarvis’ mother died, she’s the advocate of celebrating Mother’s day in the US. But it was only in 1914 when it became an official holiday.

I am relatively a new mom (well, my first born is already turning four while my 2nd child has just turned 2 months today) .

Every time I see my kids I can’t help but wonder. I can’t believe I would be given these two wonderful gifts from God. When I look at them - they are perfect! Too perfect for me. I wonder whether I could be the mom that they deserve to have.

I love my kids so much.
