Lovingly yours, Ellay

Wellness Time~ ❤

2022-11-01T23:21:00.003+08:00

Napapanuod ko lang to sa Youtube, ang Jim Street, nung dating nagsearch ako ng mga chiropractor na mga videos. Dati ko pa gusto puntahan to kasi sa Bacoor lang pero ngayon lang ako nakapunta. Di mahirap puntahan. Nag Grab nga lang ako tapos eksakto na ang pin kaya walang ligaw ligaw.

Di ko naman akalain na yung wellness package nila e jampack! Akala ko simpleng massage at cracking lang.

Una pa lang, binabad ang paa ko sa mainit na tubig tapos pinindot pindot na. Sabi ko nga, okay na ata ako hahaha to the point kasi ang mga pagpindot.

Tapos nagsteam na. Ang bango kasi ginger steam ang usok sa pop-up sauna nila. di na palipat lipat ng pwesto kasi may mga sinesetup sila na mga portable na steam at stand up na bihisan kaya dun ka lang sa isang lugar. Kung babae ka ay iaassist ka ng babae kaya di naman nakakailang.

After ng steam, stretching na at may 1st session ng alignment sa leeg at sa likod. Sarap talaga kasi yung mga buto ko parang dikit dikit na e. Nung tumunog, parang nagsiputukan yung mga buto tapos luminya ng maayos 😅 parang dumighay yung mga grupo ng buto tapos ansarap sa feeling.

Ayun... tapos nga pumwesto na sa massage table. Ang wife ang nagmasahe habang may kinabit na kuryente sa binti at tuhod ko. Merong ventosa cups sa likod ng ilang minuto tapos tinanggal na at hinagod ng hot stone. Kung susumahin ko nga kung hiwahiwalay na singil ang mga ginawa saken, aabot din ng 3k yun or kung sa mga high end kang spa e lampas 5k yorn. Pero sa Jim Street, 1k lang ang package! Tapos meron pang combination massage.

After ng masahe, ang di ko makalimutan e yung pinaandar sa likod ko ang ventosa cup. Inislide ng ilang beses galing sa lowerback paakyat sa balikat. Nakakakilabot pero di matuloy ang kilabot ko kasi may nakakabit na kuryente sa mga binti ko 😅 nauudlot ang kilabot pag nanginginig ang kuryente.

Then, pinagpahinga lang ako ng ilang minutes bago nag 2nd alignment. Yung leeg ko pinalaylay sa dulo ng higaan. Pinakalma bago nag neck cracking uli. Kala ko naiwan yung ulo ko kasi biglang gumaan yung feeling ko 😅 Eto ang cherry on the top. Hinila hila ang arms and legs ko. Yung kaliwa kong binti nung hinila, nagulat ako kasi may naramdaman ako sa loob sa may bandang tadyang ko na nagclick. Parang may mga butong bumalik sa pwesto. Nakakaamaze yung feeling na yun. Pwera OA.

Yung last part e masakit pero masarap. Yung mga makukunat kong buto sa likod, tumunog ng parang nagsidighayan uli sila. Nanlalambot na nga ako sa sarap 😅

Total ng mga umabot din ng halos 2 hrs. o mga 1.5hrs mga ganun.

Dinagdagan ko ng konti ang bayad ko, pangtip kasi naman the best talaga. As in!

Instructor ng Tesda ang owner at chiro na si Sir Jim. Message lang kayo for inquiries ng time slot kasi dinadayo talaga sila e.

Balik uli ako nxt mth God willing. Once a mth lang daw kasi pag maintenance lang. Pero pag may condition ka, baka kelangan nyo madalas pa-align. Message lang kayo sa kanila.

Ang aliwalas ng itsura ko dito pramis. nung dumating ako bago nyan, hulas na hulas ang mukha ko. Nakakaawa. 😅

2022-10-30T15:00:00.001+08:00

Haayyyyyy....

Pagtapos ng 2 araw na tuloy tuloy na malakas na ulan, may araw na.

Kaso nakakainis huhuhu talaga.

Yung mga pusang kalye e sa bakuran namin nagsi-silungan. Nagiwan pa ng tae. Kainis talaga. Tapos may malaking daga din. Haaaaayyyyyy nakakainis talaga. Sa bakuran na siya inabutan ng kamatayan niya.

Yung poops, nakaya ko pang ligpitin. Kaso yung daga, di ko kayang galawin. I kenat talaga 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Naghahanap pa ako ng mauutusang kapitbahay para ligpitin si doding daga.

Kakagaling ko lang sa sakit, mukhang magkakasakit na naman ako neto 😭

Andito Pa Din

My Bravest King

2022-09-02T00:27:00.001+08:00

My bravest Kingkong,

My heart is filled with so much joy for I've witnessed the hardships that you’ve gone through and finally, you've reached the goal of being heard. You just made a mark on Philippine history, King. You did, and it’ll forever remain irreversible. I know that before you reached this goal, you went through a lot of setbacks because not everyone can meet you in the middle or understand your well-researched beliefs. I know you as someone who never backs out no matter how tough it was for you to face things and all the consequences that you’re bound to face.

I know that this is more than just gaining recognition for you, but also to actually allow the nation to understand our history in a deeper sense. You embodied patriotism to the point that even if you put your life at risk, you never let it dishearten you. You were fighting for the freedom of the majority, even if you’re apprehended in high hopes for the rivals to hush you down. You know what you believe in, and you stand by it with your courage and knowledge that whenever you are confronted with a barrage of questions, you are always prepared to defend yourself and elaborate on your point. That what happens when you know what you believe in. I adore you for that because it only shows how persistent you are and how open you are to criticism, just so you’ll let it drive you to become better and more courageous to withstand all blockages of discouragement.

For seven long years, you had any time of the day to give up, but you never did because you believed in the facts you'd researched and, at the same time, you upheld your principles firmly. They weren’t cherry-picked principles by the way. They were the product of your long-term research, your accomplishment to spread accuracy.

This will always be a hard-won victory, not just for your hard work but also for the acknowledgement of having press freedom. This shows how much you love the country that you didn’t mind jeopardizing a peaceful life. You did the best that you could, even if it took you a long time to be believed in or even if it meant standing alone.

I also know that I was one of those people who was so confused and couldn’t understand why you were so eager to insist on it. But now I understand and I am here to always support you with all of my heart. I apologize for only staying on the surface for quite a while because I was merely on the same page as you. But everything’s clear now and everything you worked hard for has finally paid off. It somehow cost you so much from the past, including your peace and harmonious life, but now the nation knows that what you’ve searched for has been proven true and I am so glad that you never gave up.

You never took any opportunity to stop what you had already started. As for now, you’re facing different threats, but still, you never buckle down. That's what happens when you stay on the right side of the truth and you know that you only show your honest self to everyone.

I am more than proud to love someone who’s brave and has this great love for the country. You made me see the other side of reality as well, and that woke up my empathy and my ability to stand for what I think is right. You also taught me to always do my best to always search for facts, to be the source of truth, and to open myself towards the importance of knowing both sides of the story. You made me a better person by teaching me everything I needed to know to be a good inhabitant of the country.

My King, every time we get to commemorate Marcelo Del Pilar's National Press Freedom Day on August 30, many will remember you as the person behind this and know that it was you who primarily pushed through this campaign. But even without the recognition, I am just so glad that the long wait’s over and that you've got yourself a reason to be proud of everything you’ve been through.

Thank you for not buckling down. Thank you for not ending what you started. I am more than proud of you and I will always stand guard over your dreams and everything you want to explore and study. I know that this is only the beginning of the changes you will make in history and the first of many campaigns you will embark on. I will sail with you, my Kingkong. I will learn with you. I will grow with you. I will always be happy to know that you’re happy. How lucky I am that I am loved by someone who knows how to be persistent and pushes for what’s right and valuable. I love you so much and I appreciate everything you have done since day one. I will never stop doing life with you. I will never stop believing in you.

my half heart

2022-08-03T12:09:00.001+08:00

At night

when I feel alone,

I sit by the window

and look at the moon

while listening to the songs

which remind

me of you.

I carry a half heart with me

like some nights carry

a half moon

and I hope,

somewhere far

the other half is doing

fine with you.

Cant explain sad

2022-07-30T22:53:00.004+08:00

This sadness has been coming and going for quite a time now.

Cant explain.

I have just been constantly sending my mom "i love you, ma. i miss you." like a helpless little girl running to her mom when something hurts. And she will always say "gambare. fight! fight!"

I dont have to say anything else. She understands how I feel even if she doesnt know what is happening.

I thank God for you, Mommy. I dont know what I will do without you.

And today, my heart is crying silently. But I dont want to bother people from my hurting.

I am just sad.

it's fine

2022-07-16T02:04:00.002+08:00

I trust Him so much that even when things are hurting and sad, "It's fine."

🙂

When life is happy, it's fine.

If it is not, it's still fine.

A Beginning, a Struggle and a Victory!

2022-01-09T01:22:00.001+08:00

So, ayun nga... after all the endless, tiring, restless holiday duty at work, I tested positive with Covid19. Most of my colleagues have symptoms, too.

Sobrang busy pa din at work pero I need to stay at home and isolate. Need to recharge at magpagaling. Babawi muna ng lakas.

Thankful pa din sa Itaas dahil bukod sa sakit na to, maayos ang kalagayan namin sa bahay. Ako lang ang nagkasakit gawa nga ng trabaho. Lahat naman sila sa bahay ay masigla. Pati yung mga pusa naming sobrang likot at kulit haha

Salamat sa Dios andito si Kingkong huhu may nagaalaga saken. Salamat sa Dios andito si Nanay Bebe huhu may nagaalaga kila Hariell at Zeo.

I will be off from work for a few days. Gotta take care of myself first. See you around, guys! 😷

My 20th Church Anniversary

2021-11-30T23:23:00.002+08:00

Because of God's help and mercy, I am celebrating my 20th year in the Church. In modern times, the symbol of 20th anniversary is platinum. It symbolizes true love, purity, rarity and strength. I may not be as precious as platinum but my heart is happy that I can still hear Him say I am made for Him.

I am not unmeltable, I am not resistant to tarnishing and I do not even represent high status in the society like platinum does but God sees me more than that.

Although until now, I don't see myself worthy of His love, everyday I feel that He values me like someone really important... how He looks out for me in those little ways and much more in those times that seemed impossible to go through. All these years, His love gives me life... gives peace... hope.

I am way too far from them all and I don't think I will ever come near in terms of being perfect but I intend to try again and again as long as He is still giving me a chance to be better despite of failing every now and then. I can't brag my love to Him but I can brag God's and Jesus' love for me because it never fails.

And in my 20 years in God's Church, I have a strong faith that He wouldn't have allowed the trials and hurdles unless it had purpose and that I had to grow through them. I am thankful for everything. I am thankful for the two decades.

I will always run to You when it hurts. I know You will always be there.

THANKS BE TO GOD FOR ALL. FROM DAY 1 TO YEAR 20. Whatever tomorrow will bring, I know that He will never make me feel unloved. Looking forward to count more years, God willing.

Sharing my first photos as a Member of Church of God International way back November 30, 2001.

Happy birthday, Wawa

2021-10-20T22:03:00.002+08:00

Happy birthday to my sweetest Wawa.

Your thoughtfulness and smartness always amaze me. You are a gift from God and I will be forever thankful.

Happy 7th! 🥳

Happy birthday, Mommy!

2021-08-19T23:47:00.003+08:00

To my superwoman,

The way you love us is something I couldn’t trade for the world. I realized not everyone is given to stay close and attached to their parents especially when they’re far away. With you, you made us feel like you’re just on the next block, or just around the corner. Your love for us never fails to reach us that’s why despite the distance, we still managed to be this close as if the distance is just a number and it didn’t matter enough. As your only daughter, you have no idea how much it means to me how you managed to keep in touch, how you find ways to make us feel that you remember us. I know you’re pressed between so many workloads and busy schedules, but then again, giving us your time will always be your priority. If you feel like you wanted to rest or recharge, that would directly mean you wanted to talk to us. You made us your motivation to survive another day and ready to face tomorrow’s challenges.

You’re so generous that despite having our own families, you still flood us with questions on how you could help. We acknowledge the way you wanted to show how much you care and you had given enough. Still, you never limit and you always give what you are capable of giving.

For now, aside from wishing a very happy birthday, I also wish you to regain your strength and always be healthy with God's help. You're not getting any younger and I know it’s all new to you to have limited gestures and restrictions when it comes to the heavy chores you were so used to doing. And now, as we continue our everyday lives, I want this letter to give you the courage to combat what’s holding your health back. I know you are made of a brave heart and you are able to make it through. I know we still have more years to share and we will go on vacations, visit places we’ve never been to.

I still look forward to watching you grow old and you have your grandchildren surround you waiting for you to read them stories or your experiences. It excites me to think about that and that’s why you need to make sure you get to endure all things needed for you to always be in good shape. I want to spend more years with you and I still need your advice and your motherly guidance. I still look forward to knowing more from you, and that I needed you more than I needed anyone else.

Stay strong, Mommy. I know you are always bigger than all those trials . Never get tired of fighting and never give up on God. Cling to prayers. Cling to your hopes. I know we could make it. I am confident that you could make it, Mommy.

Happy 63rd birthday! We love you so much! Thanks be to God!

To the most courageous woman I know,

2021-05-29T19:30:00.004+08:00

First, I wanted to write this letter because I know words have their healing power. It could cure loneliness and your longing to be home. Somehow, I want to write this letter because I wanted you to have something to read when you feel like you missed us being around and if you wanted to just fill your hearts with a lighter dose of how we love you. But honestly, I know words will never be enough to express how much I appreciate you. It runs short when it comes to how grateful we are to have you as our mother. Indeed, I feel God’s love and caring because He gave us a mother who has always been generous and selfless. You gave me unconditional love that also taught me the right ways on how to become a mother myself. You inspired me in so many ways, how you never limit yourself when it’s us who are included in the equation.

Ever since I was a kid, your love for us comes immeasurable and in everything you do, you take us as your inspiration to surpass another tough day. You think about our welfare and future and made sure we are able to get what you think we deserve. You never wanted to go on a day thinking we’re not having enough. You always give too much without asking anything in return. You wanted us to have a convenient life, the kind of life that is both comfortable but also giving us enough space to grow and work things at our pace. A life that’s full of comfort but also taught us how to appreciate every crumb of blessing. You are strong enough for choosing to sacrifice staying here with us and watch us grow personally because you know we need financial support. You embraced the consequences of knowing you won’t be here on some of the best occasions of our lives yet you made sure that we are happy, full, and blessed enough. It’s because of your hard work and your sacrifice.

I know life there was never easy. And that after all, you dealt with different kinds of struggles you refused to share with us because you don’t want us to carry some of your burdens. But we know so well how much you wanted to stay your years here with us, be part of our everyday routine and see your grandchildren grow. Still, we make sure they remember you and know every detail of how wonderful you are as a mother to us. They might not fully grasp what we truly mean but they listen and from there, we are assured that we have carved a special place for you in our children’s hearts.

We love you so much. Please remember how much I love you to the point that it will also shove away your loneliness. Love you, Ma.

Dear Ayeko,

2021-05-10T20:30:00.005+08:00

Today’s your birthday and yet, every single day we receive daily gifts through your presence. The day I gave birth to you was one of the happiest days of my life, for you had opened so many doors for me to see, feel, learn and explore. For now, all I have are words that will preserve this certain memory to remind you about this certain phase of yourself. A part of your sweet innocence and natural humor, your tender appreciation for a small matter, the way you see the world through your virtue. I want you to soon look back into this day when you’re able to understand how the real world works. I want my words to remind you about love and life and about how much you mean to us.

Somehow, every time I look at you, I can’t help but see myself in you. The resemblances hold so much about our similarities, indeed you’re the small version of me. Your laughter has always been contagious that it ended up making everyone fall into your softness. The way you make people laugh so hard as well because of your natural humor and the way you insist on yourself when you needed or wanted something is all gathered to remind me that you hold so much of me in you. The way you planted positivity in all corners of our home gave us new tomorrows to get excitedly tackle with. I remember myself in your eyes, the way you smile, and the way you find ways to meet your wants. Somehow, they all brought me closer to the satisfaction of being a mother, that I found my soul purpose in this world. I remember how I gave birth to you that exact mother’s day, my first mother's day, how at that exact moment, I knew I wanted to be the best one.

You are indeed the best prologue that we had always been thankful for writing, the way we realized how the combination of me and your father’s name suited you so well. You are our kind, our granted wish. You’re the answered prayer, the happy pill, the best part of the day. Always the blessing that we are grateful for having.

And I promise that as you grow up, God willing, me, Tatay and Wawa will stay by your side. We will never restrict you from pursuing your dreams. We will remind you that it’s okay to feel weak sometimes, that there are bad days you are allowed to cry. That you could be weak and unproductive on some nights. That it’s okay to be imperfect. We will not sugarcoat the reality of life for we know you both needed bad and good days to learn, that we believe in you and you could always make it. I want you to know that who you choose to be will be accepted, including your dreams, and your chosen passion.

But for now, I want you to enjoy your age, your petty needs, and how uncomplicated life is. I want you to enjoy every stage of your life. I want you to capture every process of your nurturing, how your radiance brought our family closer to each other and closer to God. Happiest birthday, my Hariell Dan Apollos 3MP. Let’s make the best of everything. We are always here for you, in every step of the way. You always have us to give you the best love that you deserve.

Love forever, Nanay, Tatay and Zeo

On Your 8th

2021-05-10T20:10:00.005+08:00

To our Awesome HARIELL

Happiness found me the very first day I set eyes on you.
From that moment, becoming a mother felt blessedly brand new.
You’re too fragile to hold at that time yet you took away all of our blues.
You brought colors into our lives, and all of our wishes come true.

As you slowly grow up, I had seen the best parts of me.
The part of me that has unspoken courage as I should be
A part of me that became so hardworking and felt so carefree.
A part of me gets excited to share another morning where all of us could see.

Reminiscing all the passing years since you brought colors to our home.
We are enthralled to watch all of your learning steps and how you’ve grown.
And as your parents, we want to make sure we provide you the best safe zones.
And in every journey you take, you’ll be reminded that you don’t face struggles all alone.

It still felt like yesterday, how you were once a baby I cradle on my arms.
Now you turned eight and all you brought to us were your kindness and charm.
On our troubled days, you became the light and calm.
We are thankful to have you and with us, you’ll stay safe and unharmed.

Everything that you do, made us truly happy.
The way you make people laugh and merry
All the jokes and wit at your age made us all eager and ready.
You brought sunshine in this home where love and joy remained steady.

Love will never run insufficient and you’ll grow up free for it to express.
We will watch every ladder you climb, each failure, and progress.
We will be here to cheer the loudest for the anticipated success.
When it comes to love, we will make sure you’ll never get less.

Let’s take every year slow, and we will stand guard over your dreams.
We will have the heart to listen and help you build your self-esteem.
We will remain as someone whom you could trust and will give you what you need.
We love you our little sunshine, you and Zeo are the best gifts that we ever received.

Dear Kingkong

2021-04-12T13:28:00.007+08:00

You came back into my life during the time when I had given up on love but then, love’s too wondrous and too unpredictable —it arrived in such a moment that would eventually change everything about me forever. You have no idea how thankful I am for that very moment, that I got the chance to be loved again by you. I am truly blessed knowing that not everyone gets the ideal relationship that sticks with them through thick and thin, and here you are, constantly reminding me that you’ll be the loudest cheer during my best days and also the one who stays longer to comfort me during my worst times. You show me love and support that’s real and it’s because of that I am able to relish my courage and forget about my doubts.

All my prayers were answered for it felt like my topsy-turvy world finally found the right place to settle down and just enjoy how love will bring into order all of my messy perceptions about life. I feel so complete knowing I am loved by you. You reminded me about my purpose and you never made me question my own worth. You give me more than what I ask for because making us happy, turns out to be your own happiness too.

I know we aren’t perfect. You have your issues. I have my issues. You have your storms. I have my rains. Sometimes, we feel like all our pieces fit perfectly together. Sometimes, we sound like contrasting shapes. We have some misunderstandings, just like everyone else. Some happens consecutively and sometimes, we feel like we could go for months not bringing any nonsensical issues at the top of the table. We both grow mature together to the point that I learn so much about myself by the way you love and take care of me.

I love you so much and I know I am not really the one who initiates affection because both of us have learned to face life’s reality and busy schedules. But I know you love me the same for you unravel the things that would lit up a fight. You inspire me to be better despite knowing we both have off-moments but that’s completely understandable because both of us are working together to make sure our kids have secured future. I always find myself smiling at how I found someone who has the same goals as me, someone who works on what he promises.

And we still have more roller coaster ventures that we will take together and I am more than willing to wait to unfold each memory-waiting-to-happen with you. I hope every day, life and love will continuously draw us closer to each other. I hope we’ll find an opportunity through it to strengthen our relationship. We’ve seen the darkest nights and witnessed the best sunrises. And it’s all worth being with you.

Masamang Panaginip

2021-04-10T08:06:00.000+08:00

Time check: 0742H

Ang aga aga. Tulog pa talaga ako ng mga ganitong oras. Kaso nagising ako, ramdam ko pa yung bigat sa dibdib. Nanalangin muna ako bago ako umupo... Gising na din si Kingkong, nanunuod ng movie...

Tinawag ko sya tapos niyakap. Sabi nya nanaginip ka na naman? ...Nung mga nakaraang araw kasi napapanaginipan ko yung mga ex ko. Natatawa sya pag nagkukwento ako. Kaso iba tong napanaginipan ko. Dahil nung tinanong nya, ano daw napanaginipan ko? Minuestra ko sa kamay ko na wala ka na daw.

Umiyak ako. Ang bigat sa loob. Naaalala ko halos lahat. Sobrang lungkot. Ang lungkot lungkot ko.

Pano daw sya namatay? ....Di ko matandaan eh pero nung nalaman ko daw, sinarili ko muna. Wala pa akong pinagsasabihan. Pero paikot ikot lang ako, di ko alam ang gagawin. Andun sila Hariell at Zeo, pinipilit ko daw maging maayos. May tao din na nagcocomputer, di ko masyado matandaan. Paikot ikot lang ako. Tapos, may nakita daw ako sa social media na nagpost tungkol ke king na parang you are a great loss ganyan ganyan... So naisip ko na may nakakaalam na? ...tumawag daw ako kay Tito Ojie pero si ate jane ang sumagot. "Ate Jane....." "Ano neng? Malubha ba sila DV?" ...."Di ko po alam yung kay Sir Dex pero si King....." — "Wag mo na sabihin......"

May dumating daw sa babang kwarto. Iniisip ko daw na sana si King yun. Sana di sya nawala. Kaso ang dumating daw para samahan ako ay sina Tita Lyn, tapos may isa pa (si Tito Ode ata yun), tapos si Tito Ojie. Dumating sila para samahan at tulungan ako. Di ko talaga alam anong gagawin ko sa panaginip ko. Sobrang lungkot at lutang.

May parang music video pa daw na bagong gawa nun si king saken kaso di na pala sya makakauwi.

Habang kinukwento ko ke kingkong yung panaginip ko, nakikinig syang mabuti. Lungkot talaga ako. Ang bigat sa dibdib.

Tapos sabi nya yung pinapanuod nya din daw na movie ngayon, papatayin daw yung asawa.

Di ko alam sa panaginip ko kung magkasama kaya sila king at DV nun? Di ko alam. basta sana wag muna. Ang hirap nun. Haaaaayyyyy...... :(

To the Years of Constant Blessings

2021-03-22T01:18:00.005+08:00

To the years of constant blessings,

Thanking God for another
year in my life

Today is extra special since today is her birthday. It’s another day to unfold the past years where she was able to emerge from life’s greatest call of challenges. Her life for thirty-nine years was never a smooth-sailing ride but throughout her journey, she saw both her strengths and weaknesses. She witnessed the things she’s able to surpass and unleash new-found courage in her. She knew she’s not like anyone else for she’s able to still find lessons behind bad days.

She considers herself lucky enough to be surrounded by genuine people who never left her when the sun shows up. Her husband is her good sight example of a hardworking parent. She admires how his husband is willing to do anything just to support the family. He works diligently and decently as a researcher, book writer, online buy and sell, business consultant and anything else he could think of that requires his wit and talent. She also wakes up every morning knowing how blessed she is for having their two sons —their motivation and one of the reasons why they wanted to be better people. Her sons who calls her “Nanay” are all well-loved and everything they need is always met and provided. She always looks forward to giving their sons the comfort of home and that they are free to grow and discover themselves.

She too is a hardworking woman who wanted to take every opportunity that is served on her table. She does their daily online schooling, serves them the best food, she does house cleaning, laundry, and anything to make their home a better place. Most of the time, everything leads to exhaustion but she knows it’s all worth it. She is still eager to do the same routine every day if that would mean, giving her family the light feeling of safety and love. She made sure that her kids are raised with good manners and impart them Christian values. Somehow she knew that being a mother is her calling for she’s raising kids for the Kingdom of Heaven. She makes sure that her kids know what’s right and what’s wrong, that they can sympathize, feel things freely, explore their growth, treat people with kindness and humility using the guidance and fear of God.

Thankful to God

For her, they are her definition of receiving the best gift of life —her all-out fun, and loving family. Just by looking at them, she knew it’s all worth the fight and exhaustion. She knew that her heart is so full of love that she’ll never run out of it when it comes to her family. They are her definition of immeasurable happiness that no amount of luxury in this world could ever trade for. Her birthday wish will always fall towards her family’s sake. That they will continue to grow in harmony and have God in the center of everything that they do. She knew that there are more challenges in the future but she knew they could make it together as long as they’ll remain as a team. Every day she received her gift through her family and she’s always thankful for that.

There’s no such thing as perfect life for the perfect life is boring. What she had is a life filled with newly discovered riches through experiences, memories of watching how they grow at the same pace, and hearing the noise inside a home that represents unconditional love. More so, she’s thankful for another year because it all means she’s here for a reason and a purpose.

Nagkausap na kami ni mommy 🥰 akala niya daw, ako ang galit. Di niya pala nababasa mga msg ko kasi nalock ang luma nyang account.

Antagal namin nagchikahan nung isang gabi haha masayang masaya ako. Nalungkot lang ng bahagya dahil andami nyang kwentong nakakaiyak at wala naman syang madaming kaibigan dun. Ako lang talaga nakukwentuhan nya ng mgs hinanakit at kalungkutan nya sa buhay kaya nung ilang araw kami di nakapagusap, naawa ako sa kanya. Yaan mo na, lagi na uli kami makakapagkulitan, awa ng Dios 🥳

Lungkot. Miss you, ma

Di ko na masyado matandaan gano na katagal di kami nagkakausap ng mommy ko. Mga 3 wks na ba o mga ganyan... Dati araw araw sya online sa Facebook. Ngayon, kahit seen sa Messenger, di nya pansin ang mga msg ko. Lungkot talaga ako kasi sa Tiktok naman lagi sya may pist 😞😞😞😞😞

Nagmessage ako sa tiktok na nagsesend ako ng msg sa Fb. Sumagot nman sya na ako daw ang di nagffb. Pero di pa din nya ako chinat ng gaya ng dati sa FB.

Nalulungkot ako at nagaalala. Naiiyak talaga ako. Wala ako matandaan na pinagawayan namen. Kung sakaling meron man, di ko alam, di ko sinasadya. 😭

Sana pagkabasa nya ng email ko, magkakwentuhan na uli kami. Lungkot ako. Haaaayyyyy....

Love ko 'to
