sharing is caring


That's what we keep on telling our son. Our son loves to share and hope he could carry that good value up until he has his own family to pass it on. We are so proud of our son. Parenting can be quite hard and while our children are growing up we encounter along the way things that can be challenging to us. But what's important is we learn from our mistakes and we start all over again. The way a child is raised really depends on the parents. It has to start from a good home and good role models that they can look up to. Lead by good example.

Speaking of sharing, I was reading the Yahoo headlines just a moment ago about an NFL star who gave so much joy to a little kid and I was reading some of the comments like majority of them were upset because most celebs don't really get it when it comes to making a person happy. They should share more of what they have since they are making millions, and I know most stars out there are reaching out giving 100% of their time to help out those in need. I admire stars who help out instead of splurging out on sports cars, mansions, partying, shopping, etc. How I wish we could have more people like them in this world.

no kids allowed (yeah, right)


I overheard a couple of young girls a few days ago and they were all talking about having children. The other one pulled on a disgusted face and raised her palms in front of her saying she and her husband don't want any kids. Not anytime soon, but for good. She already handled her nieces and nephews and it wasn't good. I'm like - 'really?' She would look young right now but there will come a day she would want to have her own children, but what if that day comes and you are not fit to have children anymore, right? regrets will come at the end and There is nobody to blame but yourself. something to think about, right?
I had some friends back in high school and college who vowed to stay away from motherhood because of their experiences with some children. Others are afraid to ruin their precious bodies... pffft... physical beauty is nothing but skin deep, true beauty lies within. Nothing beats the happiness of being a mother. Be proud because that is a blessing from God. ;)

F.A.S.


I was just watching yahoo about this:



At first I was like, maybe she IS faking it? but then there were other cases as well years ago due to accidents, It's called Foreign accent syndrome... I didn't really know such a thing existed. amazing speaking languages you just don't know. babbling foreign words to people that couldn't even understand you. It really creeps me out in away, though. imagine listening to your old voice and language just weakens you from the thought that you might never ever gain it back again. so weird.

proud pinay + proud mom


I saw this website called Happy slip yesterday from Scarty and she's right her website is an interesting one.. and take note: a HAPPY one! and ate Scart is right, she also kinda looks like ate Noreen. I just finished watching a few videos today, I'm not even done yet.. the way she portrays things in her videos and how she acts out all the characters are just superb. so talented. she's a real person at heart, you can really tell from a person right away. I enjoyed watching her videos, because everything that she acts out in her videos are pure FUN! and it's true. I came from a filipino family and just by watching her videos makes me remember everything that I experienced with my fanily as well back then. and that goes for our everyday life, too eveything is just pure reality in what goes on in our lives. you gotta go watch her videos, you'll be laughing your head off, seriously. she makes us filipinos proud. you go, girl!

and in other news, I'm also a proud mom! my lil boy showed me how to do his name so I thought why not record that moment where he writes his name without looking at me at every second he writes a letter not being sure if he did it right, I took videos of him writing his name before but those took a long time for him to complete his name. but today he just made me a proud mom. the other night me and his papa were listening to him reading a few sentences, writing his name a few times in a minute, counting numbers, writing numbers and adding them. he's almost there, thank God...

I'm not really a patient mom but thank goodness my hubby is here to guide me coz I easily blow up and my temper just ruins everything. (sigh) the joys of motherhood, it's just great experiencing the milestones of our children. pure bliss...

I gotta get off now, I'll see you lovely ladies later.. xoxo

woo hoo!


I got tagged by the wonderful and sweet Yenny (This wonderful idea came from Roberta Ferguson) thanks for choosing me among the luckiest *blushes* I am proud to say that I am a...


Kitty-a new found online friend that is the sweetest! I hope to know her more better:)

aww, shucks sis I want to know you better, too! you're sooo sweet! in fact, I want to know every one of you guys... sis Yen, you are such a wonderful person, now wonder you have a lot of friends and lots of blessings in life. you truly inspire me to do better.. especially at my scraps, lol. love yahh!

ok, now I have to choose 5 people. 5 people? imagine that, huh. I want to choose hundreds of my friends coz you all rock! I was sobbing like crazy coz I just had to choose 5, why can't it be more than that? oh well, before I proceed...

please, please, please do not take it seriously ok? If I didn't choose you doesn't mean I don't like you. I love you all and you are all very important to me. I based everything on what those people did to me in the past, how I valued their friendship, care and support. so here goes... ready?

Cherry Rose - She was my very first visitor earlier back in 2004 in my geocities website (blushes) and I tell you the moment I sat eyes on her website I was truly inspired by it. So I had to redo my homepage and all that. made a blog at bravejournal, and blogged to my hearts content. she was a really nice friend. never failed to make me smile, never failed to inspire others with her humor and creativeness. I think when we meet in person one day we'll probably be great friends coz we have a lot in common and we share a lot of things that we like in life. like love, family, friends and SCRAPS! yes, she's the culprit. she's the one who inspired me to continue my love for digiscrapping. she's one of the people who got me engaged in paid blogging, too. amazing, am I right? she's such a sweet girl and I am looking forward in meeting her in person. I will never ever forget her. hugs and kisses...

Rissa - This hott momma of 2 is absolutely amazing! I met her thru Cherry Rose at bravejournal and we were blog buds eversince. Like Cherry, she inspires me to be a better mom (for real), my son Nathan and her lil Aj is the same age. by reading her blog it makes me more patient coz having 2 boys, well you really need a lot of patience. plus juggling a lot of things in life. I have one and he is such a handful! and I just love looking at her wonderful scraps, have you seen her LO's? she's a very creative mom, I love how she blogs about her life and her family. I want to meet her in person, too. One day I'd like us to chill in some park and take plenty of pictures of the boys. luv u, girl!

Rad - This gal right here was one of my first friends back in 2005. She's a very sweet, down to earth person. I had already talked to her on the phone, but that was a quick one since I woke her up early in the morning, I think. I love talking to her. she never fails to make me smile. She's an inspiring person. I enjoy her blog entries coz I know she's just keeps everything real. I lost communication with her in the blogosphere with the thought of her not coming back anymore. but I was wrong, she surprised us one day with her new domain and I must say I've known her as a PINK MISFIT back in the days, lol. I love that name. =P I didn't expect us to be much closer this time. you rock, girl! don't ever change, ok? love yah!

Scarty - ahh. this girl here is a wonderful one. she's a mommy like me, her lil Yuna and my Nathan are of the same age and I just enjoy her blog entries as well. she's a real person inside and out. she's such a creative person, you should have seen her layouts, they rock! I met her back in 2005 and I am so grateful meeting her. I remembered when we had our chats before, she wants to work at Pixar one day, and oh my that was my dream, too. It's never possible, right? we could always dream whenever we want to. we share a lot of things in life, we're average kikays from my point of view =P. I love her as my friend... and I am hoping to meet her one day, shopping tayo ha!

last but not the least...

Lin my phone chat buddy. I met her last year 2006. This girl right here is a handful, I tell ya! There's never a dull moment with her. she lifts me up when I am feeling down. she never fails to make laugh. we always get to chat on the phone on weekends, depends if I arrive at work early. we spend at least an hour talking on the phone but lately we never get to talk to each other anymore. why? because of my busy sched. family and work plus sidelines.. I don't think so. she's a fun gal and she's very nice to everybody. I never regret meeting her, I always remember her teling me to move to california so we can shop together, lol. I wish. hehee anywayss... I am looking forward to meet you in person someday. I'd really want us to hang out, sis... mark my word. love you and pls. don't ever change.

darn you!!! (long post ahead)

hahaa! pardon the post but yeah.. I am currently cooking right now our favorite Menudo and *cough* it's about 10:30 pm. yes, I'm weird like that, I didn't cook anything today so I am making a batch for our lunch and dinner tomorrow. we just came home from the hospital, my brother's going to be discharged tomorrow morning and I won't have time to cook.

speaking of the title I meant the germs, me and Jon woke up around 4:30 am with the sound of sobbing and sniffing, a lil cry that would really scare you. we thought he was just having a bad dream so we turned the lights on right away since we felt some wetness in our bed, and aaww poor baby vomited all over our bed. so we thought it was just a lil indigestion since he overate that night. we told my mom to watch Nathan and call us if we need to take him badly to the hospital. well, my mom informed me that he kept vomiting all day at least 6 times when we were away. after picking up a box of pizza at Costco we stopped and fed Nathan a lil bit of cheese pizza and not even 3 minutes later he threw up again! so we were on our way to the hospital to drop off some food at my brother then continued on to Kaiser.

Nathan got confined for at least 5 hours, golly.. they had him drink pedialyte which was really hard for me since he didn't want to take it. next, they had to draw blood from him so they poked his arms, ughh blood squirted everywhere coz I swear that kid is strong! I had tiny scratches on my face struggling to keep his arms and legs straight. when it was time to put an IV on him they wrapped him cocoon like in a blanket and I think It took 4 nurses to keep him still, he was screaming bloody murder, I tell ya. he kept on doo dooing and I guess that he had diarrhea, coz all day air was having a hard time going out of his stomach. my poor lil man, he suffered so much this month, darn germs!! you can never be too careful. I am so thankful to God he wasn't dehydrated at all.

near death experience
I was hospitalized because of dehydration when I was 16, I was already dressed up for school when all of a sudden I sat down and told my mom that I was having LBM for 3 days already, diarrhea pills weren't helping at all. so I stayed home, but then I was so in pain I told my mom I can't walk straight anymore, my mom rushed me to the hospital coz she saw my nails were almost black already and my face was so pale. after getting admitted at Afable Hospital (my hubby's house was near that hospital. coincidence?) the doctor told my mom that they brought me so late and I had only 12 hours to live. my mom almost fainted when she heard that and she cried so bad. but thank God everything was back to normal. that was such a near death experience, that's why I am loving every bit of my life no matter what pain I go through. another was when I was about to get married with Jon, it was a week before our wedding day. it was also dehydration, and stress because my MIL was a city councilor at the time and we had such a hectic schedule, I was always there to accompany her to her meetings and campaigns, wether it was sunny or rainy I was there to help her. somehow one day I just got it and I couldn't get out of bed. my hubby was giving me a sponge bath and all of a sudden I was getting hot and cold at the same time, hubby rushed me to the hospital as quickly as he could(nagdidiliryo na raw ako) my MIL cried and blamed herself for everything. lapitin daw sa disgrasya ang magkasintahan pag malapit nang ikasal sabi nila. I really don't believe in superstitious beliefs, nagkataon lang talaga siguro. so anyways, I got out of the hopsital right before our wedding and can you believe I was coughing so bad at our reception, how embarrassing! so that leaves us with our story for the day. how lil things like germs can invade your body and could also cost you your life. grr.. and yes, my bestfriend is now water.

I have some assignments from mommy Rose and Yvie.

why do I blog?
I blog simply because I have this certain fulfillment whenever I finish a post. or sometimes whenever I feel down or feel inspired I usually love jotting things down from my mind. I really don't care if people don't read my posts, coz we all know we can't impress everybody, and I am not here to do that either. my posts are mainly about my family, I truly love my family very much and I am always inspired because of them. one more thing is I love blogging because I meet a lot of nice wonderful people who put a lot of input in my site, great feedbacks on my situations and lil comments that make me smile everyday. I don't care if I have a comment or two, I enjoy posting and I love meeting new people everyday. from miles and miles away I realized you can also gain friends thru the net and one outlet is thru blogging. I always stopped blogging and the next thing you know I am back again on the net. I love reading all my previous posts and I am sure you do. it's like reliving the greatest moments that happened in your life. so whenever I get the chance I document every possible detail ever. sooo, that's why I blog.

got friendster?

friends tayo! (tagalog post ahead)


hubby and my brother are soooo addicted to god of war 2. they just finished the first one and I'm telling ya it aint funny anymore. there are times my hubby can't sleep anymore because of playing the game. ack, I'm not fond of playing video games. eversince I got married I somehow departed with my other half who was once a video game addict. =P natutuwa ako kagabi, nakachat ko si sis Lin at si sis Valerie, ang saya saya! kahit sa sandaling panahon lang masaya pa rin. sana sa uulitin! bakit kaya ganun ano, kung sino pa mga online friends mo sila pa talaga ang mas concern sayo. mga friends ko sa malayo, bihira ko na lang sila makausap. namimiss ko na sila sobra. yung bestfriend ko naman, na hindi ko na masasabing bestfriend talaga eh wala nakong balita sa kanya. di na sumasagot sa email ko, dinelete na nya yung friendster nya, hindi na rin sumasagot sa mga letters ko. ano bang ginawa ko? anong ginawa ko sa kanya para ganituhin nya ako. last na nabalitaan ko eh umuwi ng pinas from Korea kasama ang anak nya, tapos kung sino sino ang mga nagiging bf nya sa Olongapo, which is hindi ko pinaniwalaan. I was waiting for an answer pero yung huling email nya sakin eh namimiss na raw nya ako at sorry daw dahil busy daw sya. nag aaral daw sya, "kuno". narinig ko na yan eh. pero huminto rin ulit. di ko alam bakit bigla syang nag bago? wag nyang sasabihing ako ang nagbago dahil simulat sapul sinabihan ko na sya na kilalanin mabuti mga lalaking kinakasama nya. she wouldn't listen. I treated her not only my bestfriend but a sister as well. siguro dahilan sa nakita ko na ang lalaking magpapasaya sa akin kaya umiiwas na sya akin. basta ang akin lang bakit mo kelangan sirain ang friendship natin sa walang kwentang bagay? buti pa yung mga tropa ko na hindi ko gaanu nakasama sa mga galaan namin noon hanggang ngayon nariyan pa rin sila panay email lang ang aming tulay, buti pa sila, nakakaalala...

naaalala ko rin noong buntis pa ako pinuntahan nya ako one day sinabi sakin yung problema nya, baka daw buntis sya kung pwede raw umutang, so pinautang ko naman. hindi ko sya siningil kasi wala naman syang trabaho noon eh, parang yung isa ko ring friend sa college na pinasukan ko, panay ang dalaw sa akin one day naglakas loob rin umutang buntis daw sya hindi sya sure, kaya ayun pinautang ko. bakit ganun, anong nangyari sa kanila? lalo na doon sa huling friend na kaclose ko pa mandin sobra nawala bigla?! for me, wala naman sa akin yung perang yun, all I ask is for their friendship, maging loyal lang naman sila sa akin. may isa akong kasamahan sa work, koreana sya, mahilig manlibre, pero pangit ang ugali nya, kasundo ko naman. ang pangit lang is yung mga co-workers ko eh niloloko lang sya. =( so akala nya nabibili nya yung friendship nila, para sa akin hindi mo pwedeng daanin lahat sa materyal na bagay para lang magkaroon ka ng kaibigan. naiipit ako palagi pag nag aaway away sila. kasi nagkakaron ng sumbatan. kaya pag inaalok ako ng kape or kahit anu nung ibang co-workers ko, simpleng no thank you lang ako. kaya ayan naman, wala silang masabi sa akin. ayoko ng may kaaway. sa totoo lang. lahat ng tao sa amin, kasundo ko gaya nung sabi ni Valerie nakakasundo nya pati mga masusungit, tama yun ako ren ganun, bilib nga sila sa akin na tetake ko daw yung kasungitan ng mga kasamahan ko, it's just so funny talaga. I love making friends. I don't judge people on how they look or if they're rich or not. basta kaibigan kang totoo at may puso, friends tayo!

I don't bite. if you want to be my friend or you just wanna say something nice EMAIL ME I'm a nice person if you'll just get to know me. thank you all for visiting my blog, I guess I gotta get some shut eye, it's 10:45 pm and I need to get my sleep na. take care!!

aloha!


last friday we had a great dinner at Hee hing restaurant (great chinese food with affordable rices) down by Kapahulu ave. by Waikiki with my hubby's cousin with her dear hubby. It feels so great to go out once in awhile with relatives, anyway they're only staying here in Hawaii for a few days so we gave them a lil treat. Jon's cousin is sooo sweet, she gave me some pasalubongs like Victorias secret lotion and underwears. they were talking about their houses in San Diego and how they're trying to sell their Lago Madero 3 bedroom house to us. my hubby was like stunned, we can't afford it right now. we'll wait until my sister in law and her family settles down coz her husband who's in the Navy has 3 more years in Korea, they're leaving Japan around July. sooo yeah, my hubby said we'll only buy a house if they're ready to buy a house in San Diego. and oh, I scrapped a bit today and here it is: a day at Northshore.

hubby's vacation is almost done, he has one day left and I tell ya it's been 3 yrs and only this year he asked for his leave, just like me. I guess we're a little workaholic.. I just realized that. =P

I'm so happy! Nathan can finally read a little bit, and he can write his Name, too. everyday at least 2 times a day I sit down with him and his books and we turn off the tv to avoid distractions, what's weird about Nathan is you have to hold his elbow to guide him, although he THINKS I am guiding him but I'm really not, I don't know if you get me.. but yeah, he's been a great kid and he's improving a lot. thank God for giving me the patience to do all of these. and as for all of you folks out there, I'll talk to you guys later.. mommy duties awaits. *sigh*
