A Blessing by Choice

Been busy lately, and it's good to be back after a busy week last week c: It was my hubby's bday last monday (sept.22) the celebration was cut short because he had a flu :c he even refused to have a rest and absent from work. I had to scold him back to his senses :p

Friday I had to catch up with washing our clothes so I could prepare for Saturday. Because it was my mamas special day c:

Happy Birthday Mama ! ! !

I had to meet my parents at a mall in Marbel ( it's about an hour ride from our place). Surprised mama with a bouquet of flowers (lavender, pink and purple mumps coz those were her fav colors c:) She was so happy c: and so was I. We ate breakfast and lunch there to have a private party at a public place c:

We haven't met since June this year. Meeting them once a month energizes me and is essential to me because it also reminds me of how they did their best to be what I am today c: I want to make them proud by duplicating their love, care, love and respect for God and discipline to my own family c:

Meeting them brought both happiness and sadness to me. I can see how frail and sickly they have become. My mama has diabetes while my papa has heart enlargement. I just want to be by their sides but they gave up their comfort to build a church in Lake Sebu. They want to be a blessing to the T'Bolis (name of the tribes living there, featured them at my other blog) there with or without a support from our church. Tough for them and for me too, seeing them less provided by us their children specially for their medication. Nonetheless, I opted to give my best to provide them with medicine and supplies with the help of my brother too c: This will be my contribution to missions work not because I have to but because I want to. With God's help I can do all things c: Small is the amount I may give, still it will be a blessing to the ones who will receive it and all for...

the Lord's Glory c:

God bless you mama and papa for being a blessing to others c:
Am so proud of you both c:
The Lord shall reward your efforts with success!

Thanx mama n papa c:

Aside from my honey bunch, my mom would be celebrating her birthday soon c: I was hoping to see them last month but could not. Hopefully, we could arrange a joint celebration (a small family gathering) for her and my husbands birthday.

I just miss my mom so much, specially now that I have this very active little boy who reminds me of my childhood every time he experiments his capacity. He loves to climb gates, run and run, climb tables and chairs, etc. I can just imagine how my mom feels and what she does juggling around guarding us and doing her chores plus the fact that I'm a girl who has boyish activities in her head (I'm pretty much like my son when I was little). I have an older sister who is by the way just 1 year older than me and a brother who is 5 years younger than me. I don't usually get hurt and not the sickly type but is very sensitive because I'm a middle child. I felt left out and felt less loved which is not true (I later on realized it). And so I do sorts of stuff to get their attention (KSP kasi , kulang sa pansin).
Anyway, being a parent and a mother makes me realize and appreciate more my parents and most especially my mother. All the sleepless nights when your sick, the disciplining, the love and care, the multi-tasking. Boy, it's tough but it's worth it. I know my mom has heart aches even now at times on the things we do that annoys them, specially bad things. Also the dreams she and my father has planned and hoping (also for the best for you) that would be accomplished in your life. Plans to prosper you and give you hope, which at times did not happened. But onething is for sure, I'm glad that mama is my mom and papa is my dad. They had brought me up to love and respect God. Tought me the value of discipline, respect for the elders, etc. Thay had made me into a better and a respectable person that I am now. And I am happy and willing to share it to my son, with the thought in mind that he would be a better and good person that we his dad would be proud of some day. Even though he is still in the process I am willing to learn also from him. I just pray that I would be like my parents had (and is still is) be the best parent one can have.


Thank You mama and papa c: for everything c: For mama for being my first teacher on a lot of things because she is always with me eversince I was born, until now guiding me even through the cell phone.

I can see that mothers are the first teachers, specially moms who are there for you especially on your primal years. Their discipline builds your confidence and prepares you to face the real world. Through encouragements on every achivement like learning to walk and standing up after the fall c: The dos and don'ts of things, don't cross the street, don't touch this..that, table manners, how to do it on your own, respect to elders and all that endless stuff that you need to remember. Tiring at times but it's worth it if you see him do it and do it without being reminded.
