Complicated

When I was still young my only problem was how I can escape nap time so I can play outside. Now I realized, the future of a child is already in my hands. How can I raise them so they will be a better person. How can we make a better future for them.

Just like now, just making a decision on which school to send Bela is a very complicated decision for us (or should I say, for me) to make. I just feel that I have a big responsibility that we should make the right decision because it is for her future. The decision that we will be making might make ore break her future.

When we were choosing a pre-school for Bela, I thought that it is the last time that I will be confused. But seems like, every year, I am always at lost on what to do with regards to Bela’s schooling. Thank goodness for anti aging skin products, because if not for them I might be looking so old already for thinking so much about all this stuff.

I was asking my mom, if it is really this complicated. I just need to choose a school for Bela but I have spent countless sleepless nights already just thinking about it. My mom just smiled at me. Maybe she knows that in time, I will surely know what to do. Just like what my blogger friends has mentioned, I just have to use my gut feel and mother’s instinct.

My Life

Kids are really amazing. Sometimes, I feel I need to use anti-wrinkle cream to survive being a mom but majority of the times, I just feel so happy and lucky to have Bela. She is our source of joy, our inspiration, the reason why Howell and I are working really hard to give her all the best this world has to offer.

Now that she is to become an ate soon, we can already imagine that she will be the sweetest ate to her sibling. Every night, she will kiss and hug my tummy and she will tell her baby “IT” (that is how she calls the baby inside me) how much she loves him. She will also tell a story to her baby IT before she goes to sleep. She also likes it every time she helps me with my medicines and she reminds me every time I drink it that it will make me and the baby strong.

Every time I visit my OB, she is always with me and will hold my hand if my doctor asked me to lie down to check on me and she will always tell me “That’s ok mom, everything’s going to be ok.”

After a long day at work, my husband and I loves it every time she welcome us home with an excited tone saying “Mom, Dad!!” and then she will hug us and kiss us.

No matter how bad our day is, I am sure that everything will be okay as soon as we see her. I am sure it will be double the fun, double the happiness and double the contentment we will be feeling as parents with the coming of our second child. We are thankful for the precious gifts that God has given me and Howell.

To go or not to go

This has always been a question that I always find difficult to answer every time hubby asks me to go with him when he needs to go out of the country. This coming August he will be going to Germany for one week training and he wants me to follow him there so we can have our dream Euro tour. At least this time, his airfare is free plus our hotel in Frankfurt will be free also so it is a huge savings already.

But hubby proposed that if we will be going on a Euro tour, then why not make the most out of it so when I am done finalizing our itinerary, I realized that we will be out of the country for 20 days. We can’t bring Bela with us as we will be moving from one country to the next in just a matter of days so I don’t think it will be a good idea to tag her along as this trip will be so tiring for a toddler like her. Also, we only plan to do backpacking as you know how expensive Europe is and Bela hates small hotels and bed and breakfasts. Plus there is really nothing much that Bela will enjoy in Europe except Paris Disneyland.

I am really torn. When I first knew of hubby’s training I was really excited and I was really planning for it. I even looked for the best diet pills so I will be really looking great for my Euro pictorial. LOL. But yesterday, I was acting like a crazy mother as I was crying in my office because it finally hit me that it is almost a month away before our departure and I am missing Bela terribly already. Call me overacting but I guess it is a natural reaction for a mother. I was actually chatting with my kumareng Peachy when I accidentally opened Bela’s blog and saw her picture and I cried just like that.

When I asked my friends, they have different views also. Of course this is a perfect opportunity also to spend some quality time with hubby which we never really had the opportunity to do since we always bring Bela along with us everywhere we go. But I kept on asking myself if I will really enjoy this trip without my precious daughter.

I still have a few days to decide. My ticket is still on hold and it is reserved until July 6. So maybe I have a definite decision next week…

I'm Ready

Isn’t she a cutie?

She is our source of joy, our source of inspiration, the reason why my husband and I have been working so hard so we can give nothing but the best for her.

I was telling my best friend who is due to give birth this month that no matter how difficult her pregnancy is, I am sure all the pain will go away once she sees her daughter.

For me, and I am sure all moms will agree, that nothing beats the joy that motherhood brings. So I am really excited as we are planning to have our second baby this year and we are praying that God will give us the second addition to our family.

I think we are more ready now. Bela will be turning four this year and by the time I gave birth, she is already five years old so she is more independent and she is really ready to be an Ate.

As for me, I already read about liporexall review so I don’t have any problems with loosing weight after I gave birth. LOL. But seriously speaking, I think I am really ready. Before I was asking my friends if I am a bad mommy since most of my friends all feel excited already and they are already planning for their next baby, while I on the other hand, is not even thinking of having a second child. But they are telling me that time will come that I will be ready again and I can say that now is really the time.

Kosher Partner

To take on the demanding role of being a working mom, a responsible mother and loving wife at the same time is a passion I considered the best step to parlay the vision I had for my family. But while on the process I have subjected my body to so much craps wasting away without let up then all of a sudden I was faced with newly emerged facts what used to be a healthy and supernova body is not so anymore completely losing the glamorous side of it because of the weight gain resulting to unpleasant size. I looked like a spent asteroid that sooner or later will move languidly if not addressed immediately.

Awakened on the right time, to avoid the impending doom, I felt so lucky to discovered Lipovox, a food supplement that has become a by words and an inextricable name among women because of its superb character to quell and alleviate weight gain problems. It’s the food supplement formulated with health friendly ingredients that met the required standard to weed away unsightly fats and specifically manufactured by the purveyors of this best food supplement to help bring back the deformed body figure in places where size and shape do matters. That by the time I started my daily devotion to this wonderful diet supplement I couldn’t help but wonder in awe for the message of weight difference received by my brain coming from my eyes as I step down from the scale in just a couple of days. With a week more or two, I could see and feel more amazing changes with inches off my waist and pounds on my weight, reshaping is coming out strongly, evoking extraordinary looks several steps above the prevailing level of opulence that marked the beginning of coolness in my universe.

When I gave the food supplement a whirl, I never expect to be wrapped in the arresting package of beauty and glamour, but because of the stellar ingredients of the supplement that zeroed in quickly in weeding and melting all the stubborn fats, I emerged in my new world without a trace of those unhealthy looks on my body which gave me the platform in which I can share and experience more of the exciting happenings of my life. No one can gainsay the effectiveness of the food supplement I find it to be my quite kosher partner that helped maintain my wholesome image.

Breakfast in Bed

That’s what we had this morning. Bela was so tired from her party yesterday that even though she went to bed early last night, she is still sleeping like a log until 9 AM. Howell and I woke up early today since we have a lot of pending tasks to finish before we start our busy day. And so we when our orders from Jollibee arrived, Howell just brought it upstairs so we can work while we eat.

I have been working really hard as I need to earn extra money since I am saving for the following things:

1. Pocket money for our upcoming Davao trip
2. Donations for the Christmas party that my friend is organizing for the children cancer patient at PGH
3. My LV bag (if ever I decide to finally get one this week).
4. tv lifts for our room
5. Shoes and clothes for Bela for Christmas
6. Budget for my Christmas shopping for all our friends, relatives and god children

I have a long list that is why I really have to work double this because looks like I need a big budget especially for the coming holiday season.

New Goal

How time really flies. I can’t believe it is already November and in just a few months it is already a start of a new year. I panicked when I had this realization as it means that it is the start of another fiscal year at work which means that another performance evaluation is coming.

I read my performance evaluation last year and I was reminded of the long term career plan that I wrote on my evaluation and I realized that I haven’t accomplished the major ones that I wrote there like finishing my masteral degree.

My husband has been reminding me that I should really take time to finish my masteral degree. But how can I do that if I have a full time work plus I have a job as a mother to Bela?

But I know that if I really wanted to, I will definitely find a means to finish my masteral degree. That is why I am really considering taking a degree online. I know this is the perfect option for working professionals like me since I can do everything online in my own convenient and preferred time. This means that I can still be able to keep my full time job even if I am studying.

Finishing a masteral degree is really a big plus for my job so I know that this should really be one of my top priorities. I will definitely not be able to finish it before the new evaluation period begins but I should really target to finish my Masteral Degree before the next evaluation period starts again.
