DEVASTATING means God is on leave

I've been meaning to post something here since last week but then, every time I turn on our computer, I can't help myself but try to check out what is the latest updates in Visayas.

Just by seeing their pictures and videos can make your eyes cry and then, it breaks your heart. :(

It was really a devastating thing.

Thousands of people died and hundred thousands of families are already homeless. It just like what you can see in suspense movies. And only in my very worst nightmare I can imagine that it actually happened.

But at the end of the day, there are still SURVIVORS.

Survivors that still fighting for their lives.

5 days without food, water and shelter??!!?

Dead bodies scattered everywhere. Everything was wiped out. Money is useless.

And only the FITTEST will survive.

OMG. I think God took a vacation without a prior notice.

I wish God would bless them as soon as He comes back and heal their broken heart and spirit.

Anyhow. Let's just help each other for the mean time.

But before donating any amount of money or goods, please check first the credibility of the organization if its for real or just a SCAM.

Just check if they are registered in DSWD's site or in CNN's official website.


Bangon Pilipinas! Kaya natin ito!

the reason of my sleepless nights

I'm feeling so down right now...
Parang di ko na kaya pa to..
Bakit ganoon? Bakit parang may unknown forced na pumipigil sa plan kong magtrabaho ko..?

Oo nga, siguro I'm lucky na nakikita ko yung every milestone ng mga kids ko plus nakakasama ko sila lagi.
Eh pero in every minute na magkakasama kami ng mga babies ko kinakabahan naman ako para sa future nila kasi nga wala pa kaming ipon para sa future ng babies ko. 

Plus, everytime na may pinapabili sa akin si Meganne na something na gustong gusto niya, di ko naman maibigay kasi nga wala naman akong pera eh. And it tears my heart to see her crying. Sabi ko nga sa sarili ko si Meganne pa lang ang nagpapabili, what if next year maging ganoon na rin si Allodia, yung parang si Meganne, eh di doble yung sakit na mararamdaman ko??

For the past 4 years, natiis ko na di makahawak ng pera. Sabi ko natural lang na wala akong pera kasi nga wala naman akong work and hindi naman na ako nagaaral. Sabi ko sa sarili ko titiisin ko munang alagaan na muna si Meganne, pag nagschool na siya, magwowork na ako at magkakapera na ako. Pero last year, natanggap na ako sa work noon. Nagkaproblem lang ako sa medical, so kailangan ng fit to work clearance and then isasali na nila ako sa training. I was super ready to work and all, but then I found out that I was a month pregnant. So hindi ako nakakuha ng fit to work clearance. Hindi ako natuloy sa work.

During that time, I felt so frustrated (pero mas frustrated ako ngayon). Kasi okay na eh. Nakapasa na ako sa interviews and examination. Nabigyan na nga ako ng contract. Tapos the day before the training biglang ganoon, biglang hindi ako matutuloy sa training because I need to secure them a med cert. So sabi ko pa noon, okay lang. Kukuha lang ako ng med cert. And all of a sudden nalaman ko na lang na buntis ako and my OB can't give me a fit to work clearance kasi maselan ako magbuntis. Haays... Buhay.

Pero nagmove on ako noon. Sabi ko, pagkapanganak ko magaapply agad ako ng work. Magtratrabaho agad ako para sa mga babies ko. 

Ayun! Nanganak na ako tapos mag9 months na si Allodia this coming Sept. 20. And wala pa din akong work.

Nawawalan na ako ng pag-asa.. Parang gusto ko ng sumuko. Nahihirapan na kasi akong tanggapin etong nanyayari sa akin. 

Si God naman hindi na ata nakikinig sa akin. Busy siguro siya ngayon sa pagtutok sa Zamboanga. Kaya napapabayaan na niya ako. 

Siguro nga He's preparing something big for me.

Ang tanong kelan pa kaya mangyayari sa akin yang big thing na yan..??

May ngipin pa kaya ako pag binigay na niya yang blessing na yan??

Paano na ang pagaaral nila Meganne at Allodia??

Paano na si Allodia, eh hindi pa nga namin siya napapabinyagan. Hindi na rin maganda ang birthday niya??

Ewan ko na kung ano ba balak niya sa amin. 

Pag naubos na yung backpay ni Melvin, paano na? Eh yung gym hindi pa namin maasahan kasi bagong bukas lang ulit.

Buhay nga naman oh.. Ang hirap magpakatatag. Sobrang nahihirapan na ako. Hindi ko alam kung magiisip pa ako ng positive. Kasi baka naman pinapaasa ko lang ang sarili ko sa wala di ba?

Parang mas okay pa maging negative. At least prepared na ako sa mga masasama pang mangyayari. Kasi yun na ang ineexpect ko eh. 

Baka nga wala ng magandang mangyayari sa akin..

Malas lang ng mga anak ko nadamay pa sila sa kamalasan ko. :(

Pati na baby Daddy ko. 

Sorry sa kapalpakan ko. :((

Happy Monday!

Hi guys!

How's your first day of the week??

Well, I feel so happy!

Finally! I'm done solving one of our problems.

Haaay!What a relieved.

Anyway, this is just a quickie post cause we're here in my in-laws house.

We'll be moving this week that's why I'll gonna be a bit busy.

 As in moving in a new house.
Melvin and his family decided to rent a place where we can put our business, the gym, and where we can live there at the same time. 

I'll be making another post for our new home so stay tuned.

Good night!

September is our love month.

It was September when we first met each other.
And eventually, it was September when we fell in love with each other.

This coming September 19, 2013, it will be our 5th year anniversary.

I'll try to blog about our love story. All the ups and downs.
It was never easy to be in love at the young age.
Actually, it was more on tough times than the smooth.
But I'm glad that we're still together after everything we've been through.
Most of the time, I wanna stop fightin' for this love.
I wanna give him up because sometimes I think that will make him happy.
But, he's the one who won't give up on us.
And that is what I'm truly thankful for.
He won't give up on me and our kids.

That's why even though I still regret on what happened to us, on the brighter side, I'm happy to be with him and the kids.

And if ever I have the power to bring back the time, I will still choose to be with them, only in a different situation. To be in love at 18 and be a mom at 19. If ever I can redo it, I would finish my studies and find a job the moment that I knew I was pregnant when I was 18.  

Anyway, this is for you Baby Daddy.

Thank you baby Daddy for being strong and believing that we'll make it through.
Until now, I know that we still have problems. But, thank you for making me laugh at those problems.
You and the kids are my strength and love. You're reason why I'm still alive and fightin' in this crazy world.
I love you and happy month-long anniversary!

Team Kramer!

Hi everybody!I miss posting something here.
Anyway, I have a new addiction!

It's watching videos of the Kramer Family in Facebook.

 They're fan page is Team Kramer managed by Mr and Mrs. Doug Kramer.

I'm super hooked in watching their videos especially the videos of their kids, Kendra, Scarlett and Gavin.

They have such a beautiful family that you can feel the love in their home by just watching their homemade videos.


They have super cute and bibo kids. How I wish Meganne can speak well just like Kendra.

Gavin, their bunso, is just 5 days older than my Allodia that's why I can relate to their family in one way or another.

I also love the video that Kendra and Scarlett were playing and laughing like no tomorrow. When I first saw that video,I told myself that next year, Meganne and Allodia will be like that,always playing and hugging and running like there's no tomorrow.

I just really hope that they will put it in a website just like what they said in one of their status.

To Daug and Cheska, kudos to you guys. I can really see your love and care for your kids. You're a great example of a parent.

If you are being curious of what I'm talking about please just visit them in their fan page. That's it for now. Go #team Kramer!

Party Thougths

Hi everyone! Mr. Sun showed up early this morning here in Pasig.
Pero nagtago din agad. Umiyak ulit and langit. Good thing that it's not as heavy as the previous days.

Anyway, these past few days I've been thinking on what to do on my baby Allodia's 1st birthday.
Wala pang budget, pero alam mo na. Mas magandang magplano na para pag andiyan na ang pera, bayaran portion na lang.

TOP 3 PRIORITY THINGS IN THE PARTY
Venue. Wala pa pong venue. Ihuhuli ko na lang to. Kasi pag wala akong nakitang magandang deal for food baka I consider birthday parties in fast food na lang.

Food. Ooh-eemm-gee naman! Nakakaloka naman ang mga catering service ngayon. Pangmaharlika lang talaga. Kaya kung hindi fast food, baka magpaluto na lang ulit kami doon sa friend ni biyenan just like what we did on ate Meganne's 1st birthday. Masarap naman sila magluto plus wala pang hassle sa pagdeliver kasi kapit bahay lang sila ng mga biyenan ko. Yun lang, sana hindi sila fully booked sa birthday ng baby ko. December kasi ang bday ni Allodia eh. So baka maraming magpacater/magpaluto. I'm also checking some deals in Metrodeal and Ensogo. Kaya lang di pwedeng gamitin ang vouchers doon sa December. Sabi ko nga, marami kasing parties pag December. I'm also considering buffet restaurants. Depende kung may promo sila.

Cake. Ooh-eemm-gee ulit! Nakakaloka naman ang prices ng mga gumagawa ng fondant cake! They're so cute and fabulous pero super pricey. Hindi ko talaga magets kung bakit ang mahal mahal eh ang liit naman ng cake. Anyway I'm considering doing a DIY na lang. Pati cupcakes. Baka iDIY ko na lang.

OTHER THINGS that I'm still thinking if I will avail on my lil' girl's big day:
BALLOONS
TABLES AND CHAIRS
PHOTO BOOTH/PHOTOGRAPHER
CLOWNS/MAGICIAN/FACEPAINT/INFLATABLE SLIDE or SWIMMING POOL

Hay naku! Nakakapressure talaga pag 1st bday. |Plus dumagdag pa na christmas season ang bday ng baby ko.. Anyway I'm open for suggestions ha. Suggestions and recommendations are much appreciated. Thanks in advance!:)

Our helpful ate and my 8 months old baby

How's everybody?

I hope you are all fine and safe with your family.

Well, it didn't stop raining here since Sunday. But, it didn't stop me from washing our clothes as well.

Di ba nga I told you we just came home from Ilocos? So ibig sabihin I have loads of labahan to do.

It's a good thing that my little ate helped me in hanging our clothes. She's super willing to help and I'm lovin' it. Here's a video of my ate putting a shirt in a hanger.


Note: Di ko po siya pinilit. She's willing to learn so I taught her how to do it.

Aliw lang noh? I hope after 10 years she's still willing to help me doing the household chores. 

Another thing that makes me a proud mama of my little ate is that she knows how to use the mop. When she sees a puddle inside our house, she gonna grab the mop and wipe it. I even try to stop her at first but when she told me that, "Mommy, ako na. Ate na ak-ho.", I just let her do it. She's growing up so fast, indeed! Plus she's growing up so smart and responsible (despite of her being late in her language skills. I'll make another post about this). I'm so proud of you baby. You're still my baby no matter what.

Speaking of baby, my little Allodia just turned 8 months yesterday! That is so fast baby girl! It seems only yesterday when I can still feel you inside my tummy. But look at you now,




Oh, such a darling! She's so cute in that dress! Her ate used to wear that too when she's at her age.

I feel nostalgic now.

Anyway, since its my baby's birth month, we should celebrate, right?

We planned to buy a Braso de Mercedes in Red Ribbon earlier yesterday and just have it delivered here in our house para di na kami lumabas. But then when I called the Red Ribbon Delivery hotline, they told me that they can't do delivery in our place due to bad weather.

Then I watched the news, only to find out that Marikina River is on a critical level already!
Nagtaka pa talaga ako ha, eh magdamag ang ulan kaya malamang mataas na tubig doon.
That made me realized that the way going to Eastwood from our house is not passable anymore.

Red Ribbon Eastwood branch supposed to do the delivery cause its the nearest branch in our home that does delivery. So hindi na talaga sila pwedeng magdeliver cause they have to pass the floodway going to our house.
Another realization, siguro kaya di pa ako pinayagan ni God na magwork kasi He knew that this gonna happen. Ayaw lang niya siguro akong mastranded sa Eastwood(its where I'm supposed to work) kaya dinelay niya muna ang pag work ko. Okay. Thank You God!

Anyway, back to the story tayo. Siyempre, as a mother na hindi susuko para sa anak, may plan B ako. I tried searching Goldilocks, if they do delivery. Meron, they deliver. Pero when I try to call them using our telephone, wala na palang dial tone ang telephone namin. Nacut na ata ang line namin because of the weather.

Haaaays! So, plan C naman ako. My plan is to go to the Robinson's Supermarket near our place cause my baby daddy remembered that Simply Bread has a store there. So I got ready to go there. But when I went to our main road, its baha na pala already. Plus, there's no more tricycle going out of our subdivision anymore. Tsk, tsk.

So plan D tayo. Kailangan magcelebrate dahil 8 months na ang baby ko. I will feel really guilty kasi if we can't celebrate it. Ang sa akin naman kahit simple lang, basta malaman lang ng baby ko na sinelebrate namin ang birth month niya just like we used to do in her ate's first year noon. So eto na po ang plan D.


I just bought brownies in the bakery nearby our place. That's only for 20php. Tapos nilagayan ko lang ng candle. And PRESTO! Happy 8th month Allodia!

Supposed to be bibili pa ako ng stick-o and nips or cream stix pang lettering sana. Kaya lang isang buong 1000php bill ang hawak. Wala daw panukli kaya di na ako bumili. 

Hayaan mo anak. Babawi na lang kami sa birthday mo. We love you kahit ano pang mangyari. Tsaka di ba, ang importante eh yung magkakasama tayo,? Kasi pag magkakasama tayo, parang araw-araw PASKO! Mwah!

Rainy day things + fold a shirt in just 2 seconds!

Its been a long rainy day.

I'm a bit worried because the typhoon "Maring" is in the northern part of our country. I've just called my father in Ilocos to check what's happening in there. He told me that they were alerted by the provincial news that's its already signal no. 3 in our province (I don't know if this is true). My father said that it didn't stop raining since yesterday. Our house in Ilocos Sur was almost caught by the flood last night. Almost all the houses in our neighborhood had been affected by the flood already.


Meanwhile, my relatives are quite worried with us as well cause we're currently residing here in Pasig Area. They're really horrified to know that I agreed with Melvin to live here in Pasig though I know some horrifying stories of Ondoy. I don't have much choice at that moment that's why I just agreed with Melvin.
Anyway, I told them that there's no heavy rain in our area(except just now while typing away this post) to stop their worries. I also assure them that we have enough food and water that can last up to 2 days.

Anyway, I wanna share with you this great thing that can be really useful during these "bagyo" times. It should be in the top of your list of emergency kit.

Ta-da!
 A chargeable Flashlight .




I don't know where my MIL bought it. I'll gonna ask her next time we'll meet.

Anyway, I found this video in Facebook. I've already tried it! And I'm bursting to laughter and I don't know why.. Guess I'm just really amazed..

Here's the video..

I'm Back from Ilocos!

Hi guys!
I've been away for quite sometime..

The kids and I had a very short vacation kasi in Ilocos last weekend.

Have I told you guys that I was born and grew up in Ilocos Sur??

Well, I'm telling it now. (haha)

Anyway, our vacation was still fun despite of the long hours of trip and the typhoon.

 We toke advantage of the free ride of my uncle, Papa Zeus, last Saturday night. We left Pasig at 12 midnight.





We had a comfortable trip because we occupy the spacious back seat of Papa Zeus' car.
Our trip took like 7-8 hours cause we had to stop for like 30 mins. or an hour in Pangasinan cause Papa Zeus was a bit sleepy at that time and so he needed a power nap. Then, we arrived at Ilocos Sur  at Sunday morning safe and sound. Thanks for the ride and food Papa Zeus and Mama Jean!
                                              
                                                      
                                                        Boundary arch of our town, Candon.

Day 1: Sunday
Well, our day 1 was full of kamustahan blues and chit chat with my relatives. It was my grandfather's day last Monday that's why almost all of my relatives came home to celebrate my grandfather's epic birthday!

That's Allodia with my Inang(grandmother ko po)!

Meganne with Ollio in a Hulicam! moment!

We're supposed to go swimming but since there's a typhoon, we opted to just stay home and  had a kwentuhan-to-da-max.

Day 2: Monday
It was Amang's 82nd Birthday! Everyone was busy in preparing for the party while the kids do their thing, and that is to play! 

Meganne with her kuya Kraven

Kanya kanyang kalat, tsk!

My youngest sister Angela, my grandmother whom we're calling Inang and my baby Allodia.

Amang's Birthday cake


Happy Birthday Amang!

The birthday party went well despite of the heavy rain and strong wind. It's also a good thing that there's no flood or bad thing that happen in my Amang's birthday. Happy Bday Amang!

Day 3: Tuesday

It was a rainy day and so I wasn't able to go to city market to buy "pasalubong" for my Baby Daddy. It's a bit far from our place plus my dad has still got his hangover from their inuman last night, so I decided to just stay at home. Good thing that my Best Friend, Jem, came to visit me and the kids. We got our chit chat and girl bonding the whole afternoon. She'd been my best friend and most loyal friend ever since we're in grade school. I really miss her a lot and our childhood days. Till we meet again my dear friend!

At the evening, we left Candon at 10pm, and just the same, we had a long hours of trip going back here in Manila.

We arrived at Project 2, where my Melvin's family are residing, at 8am. My baby daddy stayed there when we went to Ilocos. He wasn't able to come with us cause he had to finish some things in their business.

Oh! Before I end this post lemme share this video of my ate Meganne and kuya Kraven dancing in an Ilokano song.. Enjoy!

Happy Breastfeeding Awareness Month Mommies!

It's August and its Breastfeeding Awareness Month mommies!

I used to nurse my Meganne for 2 years. I just stopped nursing her when I knew that I was pregnant with Allodia.

I've exclusively breastfed my little Allodia for 6 months, but now I have to get some help in formula milks because of my treatment. I'll make another post for my treatment story.

Ang super gastos pala pag naka formula milk ang baby! Ang bilis ng pera plus parang ang dami ko pang ginagawa.

GASTOS IN FORMULA MILK:
Formula Milk-                          400- 1500php(900 grams)
Distilled water-                               60- 85php(6 liters)
Gas(in sterilizing the baby bottles)-       200php
Water in washing the baby bottle-         50php (?)
Dish washing liquid-                                5php            
TOTAL:                                    715- 1840php 
        
Biruin mo, ikaw na nga gumagastos, ikaw pa pagod!? Kaloka ha!

Wala pa diyan ang gastos sa oras ha sa pag sterilized ng baby bottles at sa pagpunta sa sa grocery para bumili ng Formula milk and water. There's so much time that is being wasted.

 Eh pero anong magagawa ko, I have no choice naman kasi I'm under medication that's why I have to wait for 12 hours for my baby can able to drink my milk safely.

Kaya pag gabi, breastfed ko pa rin ang baby love love ko. Less hassle and worries. I just have to sit and let my baby drink until she goes back to sleep. Di ko na kailangan bumangon pa ng bed para magtimpla ng milk niya.

Eto naman ang Gastos in Breast milk:
FOOD NI MOMMY- 2000php

Paano naging mas tipid ang 2000php (gastos in Breastmilk) sa 715- 1840php (gastos in Formula Milk)?? Sa Breast milk pareho na pong busog ang mommy at baby while sa Formula Milk, si baby pa lang ang busog. Pag sinama pa natin si mommy, nakow! Bonggang gutom na gutom si mommy for sure dahil nakakagutom nga naman ang maraming ginagawa kaya baka umabot sa 5000php (exaggerated ba ako??haha) .

Anyways, I encourage you mommies and mommies-to-be to give the healthiest milk in the whole world to your little ones. Its cheaper and definitely healthier.

Breast milk is still the best for babies. So give your baby only the BEST. :)



 

Si Chinito, si Mayaman at the Voice!

Si Chinito!!!
Kilala mo ba si Chinito?? Kinikilig kasi ako sa kanya eh.. hihi


Hindi si Chito Miranda ha! I know na chinito siya pero hindi po talaga sa kanya. haha
Sa song ni Yeng Constantino. Chinito. Ang cute lang ng song and yung music video. Lakas makaLSS. Lakas din makakilig much. :) haha. ♪ ohh Chinito ♪... 


                                       source

Si Mayaman. Kaloka naman si mayaman. Nasa news na naman kasi kanina si Napoles. May Unit daw kasi si Jeane Napoles sa isang Condo Hotel sa California. Kaloka di ba? Sila na talaga ang mayaman. At kung mapapatunayan nga na galing sa kaban ng bayan yung mga gamit, properties at money nila, nakow! Kawawa naman ang Pilipinas. Pilipino pa man din ang trumatraydor sa sariling bayan. Tsk tsk... ohh chinito .. 

For more details check niyo na lang sa www.abs-cbnnews.com.

The Voice. Hindi ako maka get over sa battle round nila Taw at Kimpoy! Ang ganda ng version nila ng "Without You" ni Usher. I feel a bit sorry about Taw but someone has to shine. Maybe its not yet her time. She really did a great job. I know makikita ko pa siyang kumanta on TV kasi may talent siya. She's at her best at the wrong time. Kaya to Taw, never stop singing sana. There are people like me that still wanna hear you singing and still believing in your Voice. Kaloka, I sounded like a coach judge na..haha! ♪ ohh chinito♪


                                                          source



Sige na, good night na. Kanta muna ako ng Chinito.. hihi... 
*P. S. to my Baby Daddy, di mo na kailangang maging chinito para kiligin ako. Ngiti mo lang chinichilig na ako. Good night! :*

The FIRST beautiful woman I'd known




Because of you I see the beauty and imperfection of the world.

Thank you for everything Mom!



Stay beautiful always!
 May God be always be with you where ever you go.
We love you Mom! 

Happy Birthday!!! 


Bad Idea!

I'm supposed to blog about my mom today because its her birthday but mas gusto kong sabayan ang viral scandal nila Chito and Neri sa net sa pagpost ko nito.

Eh paano ba naman kasi??? 

Ang Baby Daddy ko pong si Melvin ay may naisip na super mega hyper BAD IDEA!

He knows about my blog and sometimes, I know na nagbabasa po siya ng blog ko. (Hindi palagi kasi nahihiya ako sa kanya kaya pinagbabawalan ko po siyang basahin ang blog ko. Lam mo na, kahiya naman na malaman pa niyang chinichismis ko pa sarili naming buhay di ba??haha..) Minsan he would ask me bakit daw ba ako nagbloblog, siyempre todo explain naman ako na therapeutic ito and kung suswertehin, pwede ka pang kumita through blogging. Siya naman tanong ulit kung paano kikita through blog. So inexplain ko sa kanya na through advertising kikita dito pero siyempre, the more readers, the more advertisements and more money ang ibig sabihin nun! And since kakastart ko lang, konti pa lang nakakaalam nitong blog ko. So siya naman deadmadela na lang ulit sa pagbloblog ko.

Until, one time he landed on this blog with full of sex scandal videos. Wala po akong kinalaman diyan ha. Bigla na lang po niyang pinakita...

Melvin: Bi! May papakita ako sa'yo.
Me: Ano yun?
Melvin: Blog ito! Halika bilis!

Lapit naman ako sa computer. Tingin sa monitor. Biglang HUMAYGAWD! Sabay harang sa monitor baka makita ni bulinggit! 

Me: Ano ba yang pinapanuod mo!? Mamaya makita yan ni Megs! Lagot ka talaga sa akin!
Melvin: Wag yung video ang tignan mo! Yung flagcounter!
Me: Oo nga noh? Ang daming nanunuod ng scandal??? 0.o
Melvin: Eh kung yan na lang kaya iblog mo?? Para kumita ka na. Para may panggastos na tayo.
Me: Ayoko nga! May cybercrime law na kaya! Ayoko ngang makulong!. Hmp!

Hello August!

Bye July, hello August!

It's a new month, and so I have to move on and leave those problems to God.
Bahala na si God diyan, maloloka na ako pag ako pa ang inasahan Niyang magisip ng solution diyan. Hmp.

For the past days that I've been really feeling down, I've saw na hindi lang pala ako ang nadepress. Pati bahay namin nadepress! Maalikabok, may spider webs, magulo mga laruan at damit ng mga babies ko at bundok na po pala ang lalabhan ko!

Naku! Ang hirap pala talaga pag ang Mommy na ang nawala sa huwisyo. Kaya I really salute to tough moms out there. Pag Mommy talaga kailangan di ka lang matibay, matatag pa.

Anyways, madali lang naman solution sa household chores eh, isang mega bongang general cleaning lang yan. I'm sure ngayong nagbalik na ako sa sirkulasyon, magmumukha na ulit bahay itong bahay namin in no time.

And speaking of pagbabalik sa sirkulasyon, well, ito po ang mga ginawa ko nung feeling super down ako. Until now ginagawa ko pa rin yan, kasi siyempre di ko pa rin maiwasan paminsan minsan na isipin ang mga problema ko.

  1. Watch movies. I've watched 3 Idiots, Praybeyt Benjamin, Just like Heaven, Definitely Maybe, Just my luck and many more. Super Ganda po ng 3 Idiots. Promise! Panuorin niyo!
  2. Watch comedy shows. Like Showtime, Victorious, iCarly, Oggy and the Cockroaches, Phineas and Ferb. Redundant lang ba?? Haha! I just really love these shows!
  3. Talk, talk and talk. These past few days I really talk to my toddler a lot. Kahit wala ng sense, basta nakikipagusap lang talaga ako kay Megs. Haha. Sinasabi ko sa kanya yung mga naiisip ko, siya naman puros pabili and princess lang naririnig ko.. Haha.. Bata talaga.
  4. Read inspirational quotes. I actually use the God wants you to know application in facebook. Madalas tugmang tugma talaga siya sa nanyayari sa buhay ko. Parang its God's way of communicating to me.. Try it.
  5. Sing and listen to the music. Lately, favorite kong pakinggan ang Who says by Selena Gomez, One step at a time by Jordin Sparks and Fireworks by Katy Perry. Pero hindi po ako ang nagkaLSS sa mga yan. Sila Meganne and Melvin po ang naLSS, lalo na si Meganne sa Who says. haha!   
  6. And lastly but definitely most important thing to do is to PRAY. Pray with all your heart and soul. As in maya't maya kausapin natin si God. Hindi siya makukulitan. Promise. Baka ikaw pa nga makulitan sa gagawin mong pray maya't maya.
I know these are the most common things that you can do when you're depress. Or should I say kulang pa nga yan eh. Kasi wala pa diyan yung comfort food! As I've told you here, we are having financial problems, kaya mata ko lang muna ang nakakatikim sa mga comfort food na favorite kong kainin pag may money kami. 
Eto lang naman ang list of comfort food na kinabubusugan ng mga mata ko lately:

Zarks' burger 


J. Co Donuts

Bubblegum Mcdip



Ilocos sur's EMPANADA

BURP! Busog na mata ko.. Good night na! Happy Weekend! :)

God wants me to know...

Things that God wants me to know...





It's been really a tough time for us... I'm still praying but I'm not fully believing. I'm still in doubt. 

Maybe if I don't have children, I could bare this pain and problems. But I have 2 kids. I can't take to see them hungry and miserable.

All I want is to work and earn money then provide my kids what they need.

Please Jesus, help us. We badly need your help. Amen.

Thank you Megs for making me smile!

I'm having some problems regarding financial and career matters right now. And so, my role as a mother here in our home is very much affected.

Lately, I've forgot that my kids stills needs me no matter what happen. They needed to be fed nutritious food and be well taken care of everyday. But, because I'm emotionally and psychologically very much affected by my problems, I've tend to not to give them the best effort that I could give to them as their mother.

I was sad and depress because of what's happening in my life right now. I just hope God has the best reasons why He's letting these things to happen to us.

But yesterday, my 3 years old baby Meganne(yes! she will always be my baby no matter how old she is) just learn to write the letter A!

After so many decades of teaching her how to write or draw something, she finally made it yesterday!

I'm so proud of you my dear baby! I know that its just the beginning of everything but I just can't help myself to be so emotional. (sob)

Here's a video that made me smile and be happy..:)

Well, I was pull out in our training because something came up. I'm not yet ready to go in detail cause its still hurting me so bad.

I actually tried to post it here a lot of times for these past few days but I just can't.

I'm not yet sure what to do now. I don't even know if there's really a solution for this. I could really say that I'm at my darkest phase of my life.

When I find that courage and strength, I will post every single thing here in my blog.

But for now, please just leave some inspiring comments here to enlighten me.

Thank you.

Blessed Weekend!

Dear God,

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for all the blessings that you've given me. Now I understand that sometimes you give blessings in a very different way. So unique and hard to figure out, but then, in the end of the day, it's still a blessing.

Thank you for the hardships. For it made me stronger and better.

Thank you for trusting me. That I can make it in every single challenge that you've given me.

Thank you for giving me skills. For I can truly use it in everyday of my life.

Thank you for understanding me when I rant and wants to give up whenever I encounter those hardships. For giving me second chances to make things better.

And lastly, thank you for everything. For it lead me to the place where I'm supposed to be.

Amen.

Happy Sunday everyone!

Throw Back Thursday!

It's Thursday kaya konting throwbacking muna tayo.. :)


At their 1st month.
Can you tell me who is Meganne and Allodia??

I miss them nung ganyan pa sila kaliit.. Yung madali pang alagaan.. Yung time na super precious ng smile nila. Yung time na tulog lang sila ng tulog. Yung time na pag iniwan mo sila sa bed, pag balik mo andun pa rin sila sa spot na yun. Yung time na super dependent sila sa akin because I have their milk. Yung time na ang bango bango pa nila, yung amoy baby pa sila...

Pero siyempre kelangan din nilang lumaki.. Para mas mabigyan pa ako ng mas maraming kasiyahan and para maging part ng mundo. 

Haaays babies ko.. Ang bilis niyong lumaki! Parang konting tulog na lang magschool na kayo, tapos magkakaroon kayo siyempre ng friends, tapos biglang highschool na pala kayo, tapos dadating yung araw na you prefer to be with your friends kesa sa amin ni daddy niyo, tapos baka dumating na din yung araw na magcocollege kayo, basagan na yan ng alakansiya at ubusan ng savings, tapos may manliligaw na sa inyo, tapos MAGKAKABOYFRIEND NA KAYO??!(humaygawd!), tapos magbreabreak kayo, pero sa mga kaibigan niyo kayo iiyak at hindi sa amin ni daddy niyo, tapos gragraduate kayo ng college at magkakatrabaho agad, maari ding maisipan niyong bumukod na sa amin ni daddy niyo, tapos may MAGPROPROPOSE na sa inyo??!(humaygawd 2x), tapos MAGPAPAKASAL NA KAYO??!(hindi na humaygawd, mahihimatay na ako!), tapos BIBIGYAN NIYO NA KAMI NG APO???!(HUWAAT??!), tapos, tapos, tapos.......tapos may tumatawag na sa akin ngayon at nagpapatimpla ng milk!

Matagal pa pala yan.. Mageenjoy muna akong magtimpla ng milk niyo ngayon..:))

Happy Thursday everyone!

Poor Baby Daddy

Haays..
I'm feelin' a bit guilty today cause my baby daddy (Melvin) just had his one bad day..

Well, paano ba naman kasi..? I can cook Chicken Tinola, Sinigang, Dinuguan, Pinakbet, Chicken curry, Ginisang Veggies, etc. But there's only one thing that I can't perfect.. TO FRY A FISH.

As in, I feel so lame in frying a fish. It always sticks to the frying pan! Ang ending, naku.. Halos wala na kaming makain kasi nga dumikit na yung fish sa frying pan.. Super dilemma ko talaga to! Sabi ko nga giniling na Tilapia ang ulam namin. Hindi pritong Tilapia. ;)

So kanina, tawa na lang nasagot ko when I saw his reaction when I showed him our "ulam" for today. He told me kawawa naman daw yung Tilapia.. Namurder. I knew he was disgusted about the fish so I told him share na lang sila ni Meganne sa hotdogs. Pero wala kaming stock na ketchup and hindi masarap ang hotdog ng walang ketchup, so ang ending, napilitian siyang kumain ng fried giniling na Tilapia. :)

And dahil last day na ng pagrerender niya sa office nila, kasi po nagresign na ang baby daddy ko, natulog siya ng hapon knowing na marami pa siyang time. Eh ako naman, nawili kami ni Allodia sa pagcacandy crush, 6pm ko na siya nagising para magprepare papasok sa office. So mega madali po ang baby daddy namin. Ligo agad, 7pm po kasi ang pasok niya. Hindi na siya nakakain sa sobrang pagmamadali niya. Ako naman I toke care of the kids para di na maabala ni Megs ang daddy niya sa pagbibihis. I also got the feeling na uulan kaya plano ko dapat ipabaon yung payong kay baby daddy. Pero sa pagmamadali po niya, nakalimutan ko pong iabot sa kanya ang payong... Waaah!

So eto na nga, mga ilang minutes pa lang siyang nakakaalis, dahan dahan pong umulan. As in dahan-dahan! Parang binigyan pa niya ako ng time na magdasal na wag umulan kasi walang dalang payong ang baby daddy ko. Pero ayun, kahit nagpray po ako na wag munang umulan, umulan pa din. and super lakas ng ulan na may kasama pang kulog and kidlat.. So ang sunod na lang na pinagpray ko, sana safe at nasa office na sana ang baby daddy namin. Haaaay.. Kawawa naman ang daddy namin..di bale last day na to.. Good night!:)


My stress relievers!

It's been awhile since my last post..
Well, I've got sick last weekend that's why I've gotta rest every time I can.
I still toke care of the kids even though I was not really feeling well. But the other household chores was taken care by my Baby Daddy Melvin..

I think I've been too stressed this past days that's why my body didn't take it anymore that it demanded a lot of rest and relaxation.

So here's been my list of ways of relaxation/stress reliever..:
  • My baby loves! My heart just melts whenever I see and hear their smiles and giggles! 
    • Meganne- I love it whenever she kisses me all over my face and squeezes me tightly! I also love it whenever she tries to help me in my chores and taking care of Allodia. :) 
    • Allodia- I love it whenever she learns something new like Hi-five and close- open. Those little hands really knows how to make me smile. :) 
  • TV Shows: This are the programs that can certainly make my day.:) 
    • Victorious- Its a teen show in Nickolodeon. Actually I'm just watching its replays cause its already finished last February 2, 2013. I love their humor and their songs. I also love their outfits especially Victoria Justice. How I wish I have a body just like hers. -_-.
    •  Poptalk- Its a magazine show that features and reviews anything and everything under the sun in News TV channel 11. I love Kuya Tonipet's humor in describing their featured product or place. I also love the thought that they invite some bloggers to be a reviewer in their show. And lastly, I love Boobay's segment. :)
    •  Mars- I'm not sure if its a variety or talk show but I love this show. It's like all in one show, cause it has a segment for cooking, exercising, interviews and discussion about certain things around us. I love all their segments but, I occasionally watch it because of Meganne and the news. You know, agawan lang sa TV ang drama namin mag-ina! But most of the time I let her watch cause Phineas and Ferb is one of her favorite shows.
    • Showtime- This has been my favorite noontime show because of Anne Curtis, Vhong Navarro, Jhong Hilario and Vice Ganda. For me, its much more fun to watch than any other noontime show. I like their humor than the oldies. (hehe.. Lagot ako! Tawagin ko ba namang MATANDA na sina Bogs Turling at Willing willie, haha! Just kiddin') 
    • Oggy and the Cockroaches- Yes, the cartoons in Disney Channel and Cartoon Network. Its fun to be a kid sometimes, right? :))
  • Candy Crush: My sister Dyna taught me to crush candies... And now I'm addicted. :)
  •  Food!
    • Spanish bread- I don't know why, but I really love the custard filling of Spanish bread.
    • Jawbreaker of Zark's Burger- I haven't tried it yet but just looking at its pictures in Google images gives me the feeling like I'm so full. Try to check it out. 0o0
    • Cakes, Chocolates and Donuts- I don't eat this regularly cause my father is diabetic and I'm sooo afraid that I might get it. So, to satisfy myself, I just look at the pictures in FB and in Google images. Yes! It makes me relax by just looking at the pictures of food. :)
  • Sleep! I think I don't need to elaborate this... haha! Good night! :)

HELP! Where can I buy patience???

Where the hell in this world can I buy PATIENCE??? I'm not kidding. I really wanna buy patience if only it can be really bought.

My 3 years old little girl, Meganne, is way too much naughty, importunate and hyperactive!

I know its a part of growing up, but like any other SAHM, I'm running out of patience and sometimes I think I'm the worst mom in the world.

Okay. Breathe in, breathe out. *SIGH*

To be honest, this is one of the reasons why I wanna find a job and work full time. I think I need a break from my daughters. I think that it is better for me to go to work, miss my kids for 8-9 hours and go home immediately and hug and kiss my kids like there's no tomorrow than being with them for 24 hours in 7 days a week and shout at them every time they do something naughty or bad.

I love my kids more than anything and anyone else in this world. I will die and live for them. I rather take all the sacrifices in the world just to make sure that they'll be fine and happy.

But hellya! I need a break! I'm still a human that need to rest when tired, need to eat when hungry and need to breathe when in stress. Whew!

I don't know if I'm still experiencing PPD or postpartum depression. I'm not diagnose properly of PPD but based from my research, I manifest the symptoms of PPD especially during the first 3 months after giving birth to Allodia. And since then, I've tried to fight this depression by watching comedy shows, talking to my old friends and by blogging something here. I can say that it really helped me a lot when I accepted the fact that I might be experiencing this. Now, little by little, I'm composing myself for better for my kids. But whenever I try to be the best mom to Meganne and Allodia, it seems that I keep on coming back on first step. I have to admit that sometimes, I shout and punish my baby Meganne. But God knows how regretful I am in doing so.

I really don't know what to do. I love my babies but it seems like I can't take it anymore...hayys..

J. Pops baby donuts for Allodia's 6th month!

For the past few weeks, I've been super curious about J. Co Donuts. I'm a donuts lover ever since I was in college, but I've been just an avid fan of Dunkin Donuts. Why Dunkin Donuts? Well, its cheaper before like I mean you can have it for just 10 pesos each. 

But for my Allodia's 6th month celebration, J. Co's J. Pops baby donuts ang bida!




Ate Meganne is more excited than my baby Allodia



Ate Meganne! That's for Allodia!




I chose to buy J. Pops since its our first time to try J. Co and we have no idea what flavor is delicious.


It has 16 flavors. Avocado dicaprio is my favorite!


Meganne's favorite! Caviar Strawberry!


I think she really found it so cute, that she didn't want to eat it!



Allodia just grabbed my Avocado dicaprio! 


Meganne really loves pink!


Crunchy crunchy for mommy and Heaven Berry for Ate. :)


I also love this Tiramisu baby donut!

For overall, I think their not so usual flavors are just right for their price. Actually, after munching on our very first J. Co experience, we actually wanted to buy again right away!
