On this day of your life, Agatha, we believe God wants you to know … that you are blessed.
You may think you have challenges, but you have so many blessings. Sometimes it takes only a moment of conscious effort to recognize those blessings. Once you focus on the gifts instead of the problems, your whole perspective will change and you will see blessings everywhere.
Martha has this insane belief that every birthday is her birthday. We went through two birthdays the past two months (mine and Edil’s) and during those times, she really believed that it was her birthday. She would have a fit if she would not be able to have and blow her birthday cake. Her birthday is on the first week of May, usually near or coinciding on Mother’s Day, that is why I dont get mother’s day gifts – everything gets to be about her. Now, all birthdays are about her too. As Matthew said, “Martha, sa dami ng birthdays mo, Ate na kita – 25 ka na!”
It seems I need more hours on the treadmill based on the insane amounts of sugar I consumed last weekend. Mango Bravo and Banapple’s Banoffee Pie, what more can you ask for? (Mind we, we also had a chocolate fountain going – with strawberries and bananas!)
March is happening next week already and I haven’t even started on my diet – wait, what diet?!
Lakwatsa with Curacha.
I was awake for more than 24 hours and had memories that are worth weeks, yet it still feels like we should have done more. This is proof that online friendships last and they can be as real as they can get. Here’s to you Glo – 4 years of friendship and counting!
We all needed the best fat burner – C2 with sisig, diniguan, sizzling bulalo steak, Conti’s, sumptuous lunch at Kathy’s and two Starbucks venti coffees!
Daddy’s Love
Matthew had a project in his Computer class where he needs to create a word art depicting members of his family. We were amused with how he described us:
Mommy – organized, responsible, disciplined.
Daddy – sweet, caring, thoughtful.
While I really cannot dispute to a certain degree about our role reversals, Im quite guilty about not being demonstrative enough with my kids. I’m all about culturing discipline and values that I fail to be a kid to my kids all the time.
Case in point:
Matthew (who doesnt need hgh supplement with the way he is growing!) has a school weaving project involing newspapers and while I was quite satisfied with what he did, Edil wasn’t. He didn’t sleep Saturday night weaving the project away. And Matthew told me he had the best project in class with what his Dad made.
A usual sight at 6AM during Fridays in the house. Edil comes home, eats, snuggles with the princess while they watch movies until he falls asleep. Martha owns him up until she realizes she needs to pick flowers, or she hears chickens that need to chased around the house. At the point, I can now talk and snuggle and catch up with Mr. That’s My Daddy He Is Mine – Martha. And what do I do while they have their time? I work like made, writing articles for finance, health treatments like http://www.hemorrhoidstreatment.org and just about anything under the sun!
Aren’t my kids adorable? I hope they get my skin and not their Dad’s so they would not need acne products in the future. These pictures were taken on the 2nd of February!
Happy Hearts’ Month!
Martha took over the leftover cardboard paper from Matthew’s school project and had our househelp cut all sort of shapes. The heart stuck out the most so she had Mommy hearts, Daddy hearts and Baby hearts made. She all colored them her new color of the month – purple.
Like this one.
January 26th
It is worse than coming home failed from a job search. Really.
Such a bad day for Mommy – Martha has topak all day long, Matthew is losing things left and right and every 5 minutes, I hear screaming and fighting.
Days like these make me want to sleep as early as 7PM. Martha is a spoiled BRAT. It is only now I am trying to be firm and make sure she learns to accept NO as an answer. Whenever a day is NO day, expect Martha to be extremely difficult.
