Happy Mother's Day

I didn't get a self made card from him today.... But He woke me up with a kiss on my right cheek. And he greeted me so sweetly. That's my boy I'm talking about. I am so blessed. He isn't shy to show me love ... I guess my being sweet and demanding all the time paid off. I raised a thoughtful and loving son .... I wish he won't change.

Kids are the most easy to give affection to... They reciprocate and can be taught easily. If your kid didnt grew up this way I think you aren't teaching them effectively. Don't despair. Just show them love... Make them say the "I love you" words often, the younger they start the better. Say it to them even in front of their friends... And make them respond to you,So they'll learn it is okay to express love even when other people are looking. Love isn't meant to be shared only privately ... That's what I believed in.

In celebration of Mother's day i got plenty of greetings from friends all over the world . It felt so nice . We Mother's alike shared and paid tribute to each other .

We use to say being a mother is a thankless job .... that's why they created Mother's Day. It's for you to start thanking your mother... And do it everyday... So it would be Mother's day for her everyday! Now you know... Hehehe

To all Mom's out there... Enjoy the love!
To my wonderful and kind hearted Mama... I love you so much ...Happy Mother's Day .

I got reunited with my High School BFF

Labor day
May 1,2012
Tuesday

One of the Best days of my life! Facebook has done it again! The two of my best-est friends way back in High School were here! Cecil and Marissa, Marissa and Cecil (lmao!)

When was the last time the three of us sat down together and talk?? Well, let me do some memory check....
Graduation day!

After that, it's either just me and Cecil,  me and Marissa or only Marissa and Cecil. Whoever was not around, we asked each other if we had some news of the one that's absent. And would update each other about our lives. I guess that's what real friends do. The concern and the caring thought for a friend remains. No matter how long they have been missing in action.

After a year of merely chatting on Facebook Messenger, talking for a few minutes on cellphone and text-ing we managed to try to schedule, plan,cancel and reschedule this meet ups again ...Now, It finally happened. I just couldn't believe it. That they were in front of me.

 So today, is the day for reminiscing. OMG! these ladies can talk for hours! hehehhehe ... I needed to wait for my turn to speak and when I got my chance they would butt in and left me all ears again. hehehe I dont mind ... I just love their company.

Marissa transformed into a clown. I said this not to belittle her or mean it in a bad way, the truth of the matter is I said this  because she made us laugh with her stories and her tactless comeback is funnier!. I love her sense of humor. The lady knows how to make fun of herself  and still exude this oozing appeal that I think everyone will love.

Cecil, is the serious type. Very motherly and conservative. Especially with regards to her daughters, very protective. I sense how a good mother she has become. She's still the same soft spoken type of a lady. And just like me she knows how to appreciate when one tries and makes her laugh.


  Both has children of their own. And with what I had observed, I think the  kids grew up well mannered and very loving.

The plan for today was to go for a swim at the Clubhouse pool at 3 PM.

 The 3 of us (Cecil, Marissa and Me!) got busy at my Kitchen. We prepared our food and stuff. While the kids were waiting, I let them use my laptop and the much younger ones watched cartoons. We had breakfast, then lunch and then we went swimming. Here's some of the snapshots!

Few minutes from arrival

bonding

no fuss

no makeups! :P

BFF's

Our kids!

The day seemed short and goodbye's wasn't easy.  But all things must come to an end. And in my heart there is hope that one day we will have one more day, just like this. All I know is that the three of us will remain to be best of friends... till we're old and gray....  That's a promise we made to each other today.

Cheap way to get a tan and have fun in the Sun

Today is a great day to have fun! I don't have much money to spare for a long trip just to get some tan. I made a promise to the kids (nephew and nieces) and being an Aunt I'm not the type who enjoyed giving them disappointments. So I decided to push through with my plan the practical way!

How much fun will my 500.00 pesos be able to buy? Not much.... But it's up to me and my sister to do something for the kids .

I checked the fridge... Ideas started flowing....

I made pancit bihon , lumpiang shanghai, indian mango slices with bagoong. Bought bread, coke and took out some chips in our grocery cabinet.
Packed our swimsuits, towels,toiletries, cameras and went to the Village pool! Paid 60.00 per head and we are 7. That's 420.00! How's that for fun? Actually the fun part for me were the photo sessions! It was hard getting them off the water! Plus it was just me and my angels today at the pool. That made it feel exclusively ours for today! Here's my 500.00 worth of fun but felt like several thousand for the kids .

Mom of a teenage boy?

Yes! It was OFFICIAL!
Yesterday May 11th, K celebrated his 13th birthday. He invited his friends. I told him to invite only those he is close to. Not everyone on his FB account. Some wasn't able to come.... As usual I cooked for him, rented additional tables and chairs and set it up at the garden and garage.I started cooking at 11...

I invited few of our close friends, they're like a sister to me....friends who dont give a damn who you are...we accepted each others flaws and good sides.... my son calls them Tita (aunt)... Fatty with her hubby and son Patrick ( my son's friend) and of course Michelle who went alone but in her new truck :P... and luckily one of my high school friend (Marilou) were able to make it too, together with her daughters and son. I missed them so much. And I'm really glad they made it.

Everything went out smoothly. It was just a simple celebration...no more singing of Happy birthday song ( my son's request).

I cooked carbonara, (he requested that too). The maid cooked the fried chicken and lechon kawali. We also served potato chips as appetizer, creamy fruit salad,oh there's a cake too, but no blowing of candles. We had ice cream...only that I forgot to serve it. My classmate brought a cake...as a gift. I served it during the diggin' session.There's no more games...like I said,it was just a peaceful celebration. My son was even out most of the time trying to fetch his village friends... Some of those I invited couldn't make it. Some I wanted to invite but didn't pursued because i know they have work.

Party was over at 7pm.

Sleep didn't come easy for me, my adrenalin was still high, its like my body couldn't move but my mind is drifting all the way down memory lane...mind and body not in sync.I was thinking about the High School days. Soon my son will enter High School too....and he will have more memories like the ones I have now. My only regret is that I wasn't able to capture them on camera... but my son will....I'll make sure of that.

Before my son decided to sleep that night,I asked him if he was happy... he simply said..."thanks Mom...I had a great time".

Knowing what he felt was enough for me to forget the effort I put in to make him feel special on his birthday. It's what parents do. We could' ve just watch movie but PARTY is what he likes.

I went out to VOTE

I woke up very early today. Too excited to vote, I guess. While I was in the polling area, i discreetly took some photos. Not minding the people ahead of me or even the people at the back of my line. I wanted to have something to remind me of this particular event.

I took notice too the things going on around me while I was there. There were lines for those wanting to find out what their precinct number they belong to. I already know what mine was because I inquired yesterday.

Another line for "verification", and the line where you get to have your ballot,but COMELEC REPRESENTATIVE/TEACHERS will first ask you to put your signature, give you your ballot and finally you can go inside to vote...

After choosing the candidate I went straight to the machine to surrender my ballot...it scanned the paper then waited a few seconds and the machine congratulated me and confirmed that my votes were successfully been counted. I surrendered the marker that used to shade my chosen candidate, and they asked me to put a thumb mark using my right thumb and then they drop an indelible ink on my right forefinger...

What's next? I will go out there in a while to check what's going on.... Voting doesn't end there.... My camera is ready for some action.

2010 ELECTION in the Philippines

May 10, 2010 will be another chance for filipinos to go out there and exercise their rights to vote. Another chance to make or break a country!

Here are some reminders before going out at the polling area:

* Tonight have a deep thoughts on who you think must RUN the country not who u think will most likely win,this is not a popularity contest.

* Write it down on a piece of paper so you will not forget the names. Keep it .

* Do not sell your votes, it might be the only thing that could save this country. And please VOTE WISELY! Keep in mind that we "owe" it to ourselves and to our country that's why we're going out to vote.
* You should clear now what polling precinct you belong to so tomorrow you know exactly where to go. To know your precinct number,Here's the link to the official site of COMELEC. If you cannot find what precinct you belong to you can call these numbers:
527-2772 / 527-0822 / 527-2773 / 527-0827 / 527-9365 /
527-1896 / 526-7771 / 526-7770 / 526-7769 / 527-0841

* At the precinct get a ballot and a folder. And find a chair where you can comfortably do your business. To download (pdf files) click---> SAMPLE BALLOTS

* You have to "shade" the circle just beside the corresponding name of your candidate. Make no mistake of over voting as the machine will not accept it. Make sure the ballot is free from any dirt or whatsoever as the automated machine is very sensitive.

* We are only allowed up to 10 minutes to vote so it is wise to have a copy at hand of those candidates you wish to elect.

*If you suspect that something wrong is going on in the voting area, immediately report them . Everyone has to stay vigilant and protective of their votes. Remain calm. Just try to save some evidence. Call these numbers if you know of some irregularities in your polling area: Landline: 9958729 Cellphone: for call or text/mms--> 0917-81REACT your name/ precinct number/location and complaints. Save this number now, just in case.

Double Celebration- Son's Birthday and Mother's Day

Food/gifts/guest

Here are the pics that I promised to post...

May 11th, marked my son's 11th birthday and 11 years of love and pain we shared together. But this year its kinda unique coz on his birthday was also a date where MOM's like me were being recognized for our hardwork and job well done in taking care of the family and their welfare. Not only that... as a daughter I was able to put emphasize on showing my MOM how grateful I am to her too... Id like to share with all these pics I took during the said occasion.

Seeing my son happy on his special day is more than a gift anyone can give me... and because I knew he was so happy... that alone made this Mother's day celebration a Happy one for me!
