...no ordinary mom...

I have this on March 2005. Since then, I’ve been writing and posting and writing and posting about anything that comes to my mind. I write about my thoughts, my disappointments, my dreams, my failures, my happiness…almost anything under the sun. I have also created other sites in xanga, iph, freewebs, multiply, tumblr…   And decided to leave blogspot on June 2011.   But now, I am back. Back to my old blogspot with my new template. Back to my old blogspot with new posts. Back to my old blogspot with new inspirations. Back to my old blogspot with new dreams. Join me again as I share myself as “no ordinary mom”.

And it is definitely a big “whew” for me because I can extend my sleeping hours till six in the morning, no more assignments and projects, no more parent meetings, no more reviewing during weekends and exam week and most of all, no more pushing and pressuring my kids to study hard.  Oh yes, I have two months to enjoy and I have to enjoy that two months to the fullest…ha-ha! I am going to boast a little bit…because my kids did well in school this school year.  Louie Geraurd, my kuya Luigi who was twice First Honor and once Best in Conduct is on the Third Honor this year. I know if there is someone that I am really pushing to study hard, to write well, to read the words he is copying from the board, it is him. Because kuya has the tendency to be some kinda tamad. He is easy-go-lucky, saying that he knows it already. And I am pushing him because I know what his potential is. Kuya is now on the Second Grade this June. But hey, Third Honor is an accomplishment and I am ha...

My Daughter You'll never really know, my dear, Just how much you mean to me, A mother's love, buried so deep, That only my heart can see. When I sit and really stare at you, All I can do is grin, Somewhere down deep inside, I see myself within. I'd never change a thing in you, I thank God that your so fine, Even when your at your worst, I'm so proud that you are mine. The roads we have traveled, were not always that good, I would take back all the pain you've felt, Only if I could. I know that I'm not perfect, It's the best that I can do, But everyday, I thank the lord, For a daughter as special as you. Janet Jenkins All Rights Reserved happy happy birthday, my princess! mommy loves you so...

I have a dear friend, Annie who is into reading books when we were in college. And every time she has a new book, she shares it with me. We love visiting Powerbooks at Megamall after dining at Frenchbaker. And every time I am blue, I always borrow her book, “Being Happy” by Andrew Matthews. Even though I have read it a million times already, it really makes me happy, makes me decide to be happy and continue to be happy. It is a self-help book which aims to help people understand themselves better and in turn become happier. It covers many aspects of life, among them attitudes, confidence, luck, success, depression, humour, forgiveness and many more. It discusses how an understanding of nature's laws can help us deal better with our own natures. It is about why you spill spaghetti only down the front of your BEST suit; why traffic lights stay red for half a day when you are running late for an appointment; why you can drive a wreck for fifteen years and never scratch it...

You can walk and talk when you were 2. It's so much fun to play with you. A tiny discoverer of butterfly wings, A hugger of Teddies, A sweet sleepyhead, And someone to dream for in bright years ahead... The most amazing thing when you turned 3 Is that your world's filled with discoveries. You've grown so big when you turned 4. You're not so little anymore. Hooray! Hooray! You finally turned 5 Bet you thought this day would never arrive. Five years gone by, How time has flown, We can't believe how you've grown! You're such a joy and much fun too, Oh my! My baby's turning 6! Turning 6 is a big event Filled with fun and merriment But please don't mind If we will always be by your side. So blow out your candles One by one Enjoy your birthday and Have lots of fun. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We love you, son!

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. From that phrase, who would not be aware of how different a man is from a woman. It’s important for me to take this opportunity and put down my thoughts and understanding on what it means to me to be born a woman in this world. I often find myself thinking deep silent thoughts, talking to myself in my mind asking myself who am I and what am doing here? So ok yes I am a Woman and I should feel wonderful about that and I do and then I look around me and I see so much happening that is unfair toward women in general in our confused society. Men treat women as the weaker sex. Are we really the weaker sex? Or they are just trying to convince themselves that it’s a man’s world. But frankly, it is absolutely a woman’s world. Women can live by themselves, they can definitely live without men, but imagine a man without a woman? It’s the end of the world. Feeling good about ourselves is our birthright. Just think how much time we spend in f...

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways by Elizabeth Barrett Browning How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of every day's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for right; I love thee purely, as they turn from praise, I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints -I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life! -and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death. I remember this poem way back high school days. We recited this poem in the English class. Our instructor’s name is Ms. Estacio, oh my I forgot her first name to think she’s my favorite and so as the subject and the poem… How can you say that you love a person? Love is the most wonder...
