4 Years

Posted on by
4 Years

I can’t believe it but we have been home for 4 years. How awesome is that?? It seemed like yesterday It was February  16,2008 we came home with  Adrianne who was 3 months old at that time and now she’s 4 years old. In our own way we all had to start over, Philbert started his job here, we found a school for Joshwa and I made new friends. It wasn’t easy but still we did it we persisted and as long as we were together anything is possible and all challenges we can conquer.

Of course we did have the what if moments.. What if we stayed? What if we had more time with Ate Beth , Kuya  JR and Angelo? What ifs that we can’t answer. I guess what they is true you are where you are supposed to be. Even if we fought it and tried to evade it you will still be where you are supposed to be. I also believe that we seal our fate by the choices be make.

And now after 4 years we are soon moving to our own home which couldn’t have been possible without the support of  Papa and Mama. Of course I am also thankful to my inlaws for their support. This dream wouldn’t have had been a reality without the support of our families.

Giving

Giving

One of the values that I want to teach my kids especially Adrianne is the value of giving and sharing.  God loves a joyful giver and Joel Osteen once said that When you give something it turns into a seed for someone else. Although I sometimes tend to think that I’m a hoarder of some sort cause I tend to attach a memory to everything.  It was especially a challenge to sort most of Adrianne’s clothes and tell myself I need to give this to someone else. Of course the obvious question is Do I Plan to Have More Kids? The answer is I’m not sure but for now I really need to let this go. Someone needs to use this and so that their kids could appreciate what Adrianne once had.

I already  talked to the lucky recipient and they will be picking up the  clothes tomorrow. I am so sure that they would appreciate our gifts and that is definitely the best part. So I tell myself, This is it no turning back and I’m sure my friend would also be happy with the toys that we will include in the box. This was definitely not an easy decision which made this the right one.

Blogging Beginnings

Posted on by
Blogging Beginnings

I am often asked by people around me the following questions.. How did I start blogging? Don’t I ran out of things to say? Well I started in 2003 because I need to vent out my stresses and challenges when it comes to coping with Autism. I don’t ran out of things to say because my kids are great subjects. My blog is a repository about stories about my kids and I chronicle their growing years. I want it to still be there when they grow up.

The most asked question is tips on  How To Start a Blog .I really tell them that blogging is not easy as some people think because once you put something out there it’s online. I tell them to go to blogspot or wordpress. But I really suggest blogspot for starters because wordpress is a bit strict and its really just for blogging unlike blogpost who allows paid posts or paid blogging. Then I suggest to think about what you want to write about? From there you can share experiences and what you know and from researching on what to write about you will learn something new too.

Feeling Lazy

Feeling Lazy

Lately, all I see in my facebook timeline are some of my friends asking for prayers for themselves or for their loved ones because of physical sickness that needs healing. Truth to be told it scares me because I know that I’m due for another session of nutrition counseling . I really do need to step it up as far as health and wellness is concerned. Is there any cure for Laziness?? I think there’s really the core of my problem the laziness to move and exercise.

Exploring The Mind Museum

Exploring The Mind Museum

She will greet you at the door this is Aedi. Idea spelled backwards

I like museums.. It may be the geeky side of me but somehow I enjoy the trivia behind things. Exploring and learning new information. I was so happy to be invited to visit the Mind Museum.  The Mind Museum in Taguig is opening its doors to the public this coming March 16, 2012 as it aims to become the country’s center for the public understanding of science, enchanting visitors with its beauty and fascinating influence. The museum is a very exquisitely designed learning facility for anyone between the age of 6 and 96 that presents over 250 interactive exhibits in 5 main galleries. Read the rest of this entry →

Words

Posted on by
Words

Remember the song it’s only words and words are all I have. Well words are not just words they do have the power to make or break someone. The power to make someone’s day or ruin someone’s day. Sometimes I too need a reminder that I have to be careful with what I say around my kids. I always validate them and tell them positive things because If I don’t and I start telling my kids negative things once they go out of the house they can spread the negativity unknowingly.

I’m heartbroken about something that I can’t even talk about because I don’t want it to go out of proportion. I’m not happy about what’s going on and I have a lot things to do and think about but then again I really feel sad about what happened because it started with words. Words that were said out of anger, frustration and confusion. Had the word been chosen carefully this never would happened and once it got out it is a double edged sword it will hurt the sender and the recipient those words no amount of apology could heal it. It may heal in time but the scar will always be there as a reminder of the pain that was once there.

I just hope that my kids grow up to be God Fearing and may they always know what we will love them so much. We want them to know that we will always be there even if they don’t need us. If they grow up like that then we know that we did our job.

SMASH

SMASH

I love this new series OMG..It really brought out the inner stage performer in me that no one wants to see. Reason is I wasn’t gifted in that department I don’t have it and I can’t flaunt it. Even my Adee says I shouldn’t sing or dance. This song is glee for Adults it really tells you that no one had it easy you really have to audition and work hard to get what you want. For fellow smash fanatics like me I posted the lyrics to Let Me Be Your Star.

Love the dance numbers so much and the dancers body looked so tone and define. But I don’t think that its an effect of progene side effects.

Let Me Be Your Star Lyrics

KAREN:
Fade in on a girl
With a hunger for fame
And a face and a name to remember.
The past fades away
Because as of this day
Norma Jean’s gone,
She’s moving on.

Her smile and your fantasies
Play a duet
That will make you forget
Where you are.
The music starts playing
It’s the beat of her heart saying,
“Let me be your star.”

IVY:
Flash back to a girl
With a song in her heart
As she’s waiting to start the adventure.
The fire and drive
That make dreams come alive,
They fill her soul.
She’s in control.

The drama, the laughter,
The tears just like pearls.
Well, they’re all in this girl’s repertoire.
It’s all for the taking,
And it’s magic we’ll be making.
Let me be your star.

BOTH:
I’ll just have to forget the hurt that came before,
Forget what used to be.

http://www.elyricsworld.com/let_me_be_your_star_lyrics_katharine_mcphee.html

The past is on the cutting room floor,
The future is here with me.
Choose me!

Fade up on a star
With it all in her sights:
All the love and the lights
That surround her.
Someday she’ll think twice
Of the dues and the price

IVY:
She’ll have to pay

KAREN:
She’ll have to pay

IVY:
But not today

KAREN:
But not today

BOTH:
Then she’ll do all she can
For the love of one man
And for millions who look from afar.
I’m what you’ve been needing
It’s all here and my heart’s pleading.
Let me be your star!

Valentines Date

Valentines Date

Its been so long since Philbert and I went out on a date. It’s been so long that I can’t remember chalk it up to stress or to being older that sometimes I tend to forget.  I really think we needed to do this especially for Philbert’s sake as he was starting to stress about our move. We went out and we attended the Media Preview of  Fuerza Bruta. Read the rest of this entry →

Whenever Philbert throws himself into something he would throw himself into it and really do it well. I don’t really tell him but I’m proud of his blog because he has an outlet where he can express his love for music. His blog is a bit challenging because it has a particular genre. His blog tackles music that is specific to New Wave Music. Read the rest of this entry →
