Cravings

I was craving for sashimi so when we went to Eastwood I had these. 🙂

Japanese food is my comfort food and it is nice that there were so many Japanese resto right now that offers authentic cuisine.

What’s your favorite Japanese food?

Breakfast Meeting

Last weekend I had an early breakfast meeting. Wow for the first time ever I accepted a breakfast meeting.

As you all know that I am not a morning person so this meeting is really important for me.

 

I slept earlier than usual then woke up early too. I’m glad that somehow I can sometimes do this kind of thing. I am glad that I can still adapt to new changes.

But believe me, before 4pm I was already very sleepy. I went to the office after the meeting but went home to take a rest. I feel that I was floating. I’m not really used to it.

 

It was a great day…

So thankful for all the blessings.

 

A Glass of Wine

I make it sure to have a glass of wine every night. I’ve been doing this for quite sometime and it made me feel good.

My favorite is Merlot and a bottle can last for at least 3 days with me and hubby.

After my long day at work and taking care of the business, wine can somehow lessen the stress.

So there…

Movie Night

We waited to have this movie night. We always wanted to watch Deadpool 2 and finally we find time.

But I was so tired that day so in the middle of the movie I got so sleepy. Then I obliged…

When I woke up it was almost finished.

The movie was so funny that I can hear my husband’s LOL 😀

I know it was a good movie because he talked about it so much.

So there you go…

Zambales Getaway

We were planning this getaway for a month already. It is a getaway with the relatives.

Since I was so busy, I asked my relatives to look for a resort and I will just go with it.

So came May 18 and 19…

We leave our house around 7 am, it was Friday and traffic.

Around 2pm we arrived in the resort. So hungry and tired…

After having our lunch, I went inside our room and take a nap.

Then woke up around 4pm to wait for the sunset.

It was so nice!

I really love sunset, it always makes me feel good.

Then we stayed in the beach longer. Kids started playing while I had my photoshoot. LOL

We don’t look tired… we were happy that we finally find time to be together again.

Here’s a short background story…

When we were kids we were always in the beach. My relatives lives in a nearby beach in Cagayan de Oro. So when we were young it is just ordinary for us to spend our summer in the beach. We had lots of pictures during those years but some were lost due to some circumstances.

During high school, I went to Cebu to study and they stayed in Cagayan de Oro. We had our separate lives for a while.

After high school, I found out that my family transferred to Los Banos, Laguna so from Cebu I went to Laguna directly and to my surprise, I found out that my aunts and cousins were already transferred in San Juan, Manila.

So fate bring us all together. We are really destined to live near to each other.

So every summer they were visiting us in Los Banos so we can have our get together. Most of us that time were still single.

 

Then one by one we got married. We settled and just focused on our family. We seldom see each other.

But everytime we need each other, we are always for each other. We always do something to have time specially if one of us is in deep trouble.

On my wedding, they were there.

During the special moment of my life they were always present.

Even on my lowest point, they were my strength. They never leave my side. They comforted me in every way.

So when they requested me this outing, I never had a second thought.

Being with them is the best and we are now building new happy memories with our kids.

I want our kids to get to know each other and build this kind of closeness because I know in the future that they will depend on each other.

Happy faces!

I can’t wait for our next summer getaway!

 

39th Birthday

May 13, 2018

Hubby just turned 39 years old.

Wow we’ve been together since year 2000 and every year I am thankful that God blessed me a person like him who never get tired of loving me and my family.

I wish him good  health and happiness.

Syempre as we age, we must look after our health, it is what matters most.

I want him to have a long life for us to have more time with our kids.

I am so thankful that despite his busy schedules he always find time to be with the kids and do  his father’s duty.

I am beyond grateful for having a husband like him. He is indeed a blessing.

We had a simple celebration at Eastwood. We had dinner at his favorite Ramen.

Again, Happy Birthday my Dear! Thank  you for coming into my life.

Mother’s Day

I got these surprises from hubby.

I am so thankful for all the efforts.

Actually, I really don’t like celebrating Mother’s Day.

When I lost my daughter, I stopped celebrating it. I don’t really feel the day anymore.

When you lost a child, you will see things in way different than before.

Everyday I have this feeling of emptiness, a feeling that no one can make you feel better no matter how the good situations are.

But then things changed..

Now that I have Xavier and he greets me.. I realized that maybe I should give it a try.

It is going to be so unfair for him if I will stay in that sad place.

He deserved to see the happy Mom part of me.

I don’t want to lose that glow because of the pain I had in the past.

I don’t want to create that image to my son’s mind that I am in deep pain and sorrow because I know it will affect him as a person.

I need to make extra effort to show my appreciation in everything that his doing to make me happy.

I want him to remember me that despite of my pain I still managed to be happy.

But when I am alone, I’m still longing for those little hands to hugs and those lips to kiss me. I just miss my Pillow so much.

 

One Fine Day

I finally got a chance to have my “Me Time”.

It’s been months that I didn’t enjoy a moment like this.

I seldom go out alone.

Having my me time is very important for my well being.

I will make me think and relax.

It was a nice day.

but when I went home, I was stuck in the traffic for more 3 hours.

But…

I need to endure it.

I need to train myself for things like these.

I need to be uncomfortable and I need to overcome it.

I’m glad I did overcome it and I am so proud of myself. I went home around 11pm without any accidents. I went home whole and thankful.
