In Moments like this

This is the day I have been dreading about. My son called me and asked me to come back home. He said he missed me a lot. He told me he no longer have Mommy to sleep beside him at night - and then he started crying. I started crying to. I needed to think of ways on how to stop him from crying. He only stopped when I told him that I will ask his dad to bring them here to visit me.

How could I ever decline a request from a child. I promised him I will go back but not for now. Hopefully tomorrow. LOL.

I know I couldn't make any justifications as to why I am here. But my God knows what is happening within and that's more important to me right now.

Do not worry my son, mommy will be there in no time. :)

May 2010 Election

May 10, 2010, another monumental day in the Philippines. It's presidential elections once again.

I was very sad because I could not exercise my right to vote this year. I went here last November and the registration for Absentee Voters was over. Too bad I can't vote.

I was never into politics ever since, because I believe that politics can't help much in building the nation. I believe that what we really need is a change of character a change of hearts. But the Bible is also clear in saying that we have to respect the authorities here on earth. As Romans 13:1 says, "Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God."

I wasn't able to vote this time which is why I have been proactively campaigning the

man

that I would like to vote.

Before I began posting his ads on my site on Facebook, I had to message two of my best friends. I just thought I needed to let them know that I would be supporting Dick Gordon.




I just don't want to hurt their feelings. My best friends Jhanie and Pia are supporting Eddie Villanueva and Jojo Binay respectively.




While my parents and in laws are ready to support Noynoy.



I have been praying for our country and I hope to see our country rise again. We may have different bets but I hope that every Filipino will have one prayer in mind - the welfare of our country.

Don't be like my daughter. She can easily flash that sign and shout the name but she doesn't have any idea at all. God bless the Philippines.

Happy Mother's day.

It's mother's day again. I missed my mom. Last year's Mother's day, I bought chocolate flowers and asked her grandchildren to give it to her one by one. I was so happy seeing my mom smile shyly. I love to see my mom smile. I have already ordered online to deliver flowers for her this Mother's day but it would be different now since I will not see the smile on her face. However, knowing she is happy will be enough for me.

Since I am a mother myself, I will miss my children all the more. I missed playing with them, hugging them, watching them. Yes, I get to talk to them everyday but it's different seeing and hearing them face to face.

I especially missed my kids at night - it was at night time when I get to talk to them longer. We share bed time stories, my son would tell me what happened to him during the day. It was also at that time when my son would tell me his dreams, his plans.

I often ask my son how much does he loves me. He would say, "Mom, I love you this much!" (then he would stretch his hands).

Sometimes if he got disappointed with me, he would show me his hands, stretched only a little. Which means he loves me less at that time.







But if he was too happy, he would stretch his hands so big to mean that he loves me so so much.


Knowing how much my son loves me gives me happiness. His love and appreciation means so much to me.

It reminds me of how much our Father in heaven loves me. Do you want to know how our father in Heaven loves us?

He loves us this much...with His arms outstretched on the cross.

The God our Father loves us so much that He gave His only son to die for us. I hope that His sacrifice will not be in vain. For those who has not accepted His gift of salvation yet. Now is the time to decide, before everything is too late.

God bless every mother. Happy Mother's day to all moms in the world.

My daughter

A couple of weeks ago my son was very excited when he told me that her "Lola Ann" and her "Tita Myan" are coming over to visit them .

I am also very thankful because my sister in law took some videos of my daughter. I really miss them.

I just want to share the videos here.



Here's another video. Beware: Parental Guidance needed.




Thank you Tita Myan. Looking forward for more videos to come. :)

Yellow day

I am very excited to join Mommy Moments once again. It has been a while since I had my last entry.

This week's theme is about the color yellow. I am posting pictures of my kids that has something to do with yellow.

Here are the pictures:


This is my son, Seandy, with his cousin, Elijah showing a piece of yellow toy.





This is my baby girl, Andie wearing a yellow sunglasses.









Other pictures that has a touch of Yellow.





Looking forward for more Mommy Moments again. :)

Over time.

Last Sunday, our boss treated us for a night of fun. I was excited since it will be my first time to play bowling. We were divided in 2 groups. We won on the first set but the other team won the second set. We only played two sets and based on the accumulated scores - the second team won. Yeah our team did not win, but it was okay. My boss gave consolation prices anyway. I got $50, yay!!

We were so excited to play that we forgot to take pictures for souvenir. Luckily, I got a few pictures on my phone.








I had fun. I was the only one in who never had a strike. At least, I got score. Not bad for a first time. LOL.

After bowling, we had our sumptuous dinner at Lerkthai. if you like spicy food, then you have to go to this place. Me and my friends tried Korean food last time, and this time it's Thai.

Every food I ate (except the rice of course) was spicy. But I love it.

I love the taste of their "Traditional Green Mango Salad"


And, when I saw that they have "Eggplant with Minced Chicken" I ordered it too. But, I like it better with minced pork.









My thumb and my ankle still hurt but it was worth it. Looking forward for a re-match!

Thanks for the Fellowship

I had to hurry last night. My church opened new small groups here in Singapore and it will be my first time to attend. I had to stay in the office until 8:00 PM and the meet up was scheduled at 8:00pm too.

I didn't make it on time but when I arrived they have just started. We ate at Crystal Jade Ginseng Chicken & BBQ in Centrepoint. Since it was just the first meeting, we only introduced each other.

Here are some pictures I got online of the food that we have eaten.







We had a lots of fun and we all left with full stomach. I thank the Lord for the friendship that is about to blossom.

I will look forward for another gathering next week. :)
