My Life Through Pictures
Since we came back from our U.S trip and find out that we can’t renew our rental in our current space, we never wasted time, we started looking for a space to transfer and for our expansion.
Yes we are expanding and so grateful for the blessings.
We need to finish the renovation as soon as possible since we will be starting a new campaign.
We are working double time.
I know it will be a good space and so excited to start something new in this office.
One of my New Year Resolutions is to eat less carbs. I need to focus on this so I will feel better.
I only eat rice in the morning then no carbs the rest of the day.
Here are some of what I enjoy eating as of the moment.
It’s hard but I am willing to give my best to make it work. Malay mo eto talaga ang solution…
I tried checking Pinterest for different options and its really a big help on my less carbs diet.
I hope I can make it… well, I am doing it one day at a time.
When you don’t know what to do, you better have a dessert it might make you feel better.
It’s Ayumi’s 5th death anniversary and I am feeling down.
I wanted to go somewhere.. I wanted to be in the beach and just let my mind and body relax but it seems that I can’t do it since we are saving for our new office, so I have no choice but to take everyone to Ice Berg’s in Eastwood and just have our Ice cream and my favorite crepe.
Marami pa ring mga tanong pero parang nakakasawa nang magtanong.. kasi minsan hindi ko pa rin nakukuha ang tamang sagot.
Kaya parang gusto ko na lang mag enjoy kasi alam ko naman na hindi naman talaga nawawala ang problema. It’s on how you deal with it.
Kaya kung feeling ko nalulunod na ako sa sari saring emosyon na meron ako, lumalabas na lang ako. Sinubukan kong tingnan ang mga bagay bagay sa paligid ko.
Baka sakali maging okay ako..
Most of the time nakakatulong naman..
Lalo na kung lalabas akong kasama ang pamilya ko.
Ayumi, sobrang miss na talaga kita. Grabe 5 years na pala.. pero bakit parang hindi pa rin nababawasan ang sakit.
Pero sinusubukan ko naman.. lalo na at nandyan si Xavier at Gareth. Sila ang nagpapasaya sa akin araw araw.
Minsan kailangan ko lang talagang magfocus sa mga bagay bagay kasi yon ang mahalaga.
Hindi ako pwedeng maging mahina kasi madaming tao ang umaasa sa akin.
Siguro kahit umabot pa ng 20 years ang pagkawala mo Ayumi at lahat ng tao ay wala ng idea kung sino ka sa buhay ko dahil malamang hindi ka nila kilala, siguro mananatili ka sa akin. Hindi magbabago ang pagmamahal ko sayo. Anak sana gabayan mo pa rin kami palagi.
We miss you so much!
It’s been 5 years.. since I last hugged my Ayumi.
I miss her everyday!
I still don’t know how I made it this far. Maybe by God’s grace I was able to survive. Maybe I am trying to move on because I know there is nothing left to do.
My life after her is still way different than usual. It would be better if she is still around.
Sometimes I am just acting normal because it is the right thing to do but still there is part of me that is missing.
No one can fill it up.
I will forever long for her…
Maybe having Xavier is a big help for my survival. But he’s not a replacement. Iba iba sila. Iba ang pagmamahal ko kay Ayumi at iba din kay Xavier.
Iba iba din ang nafill nila sa puso. I know some grieving mom can understand me.
I just hope that she is still with us. I really miss her so much! If only I can have her back. 🙁
Everything seems so fresh. It’s been 5 years but still feel like yesterday. I still remember the pain.
So many things happened.. there were good and bad things since she was gone.
It really tested me as a person, specially as a mom.
There were times that I thought our family will never be whole again. I wanted to give it up… I’m just glad that God really guide me in everything.
It’s not an easy road. I have to deal with the pain every now and then.
I just hope that I will never lose my faith along the way…
Dear Ayumi…
Wherever you are right now.. I hope you will continue to guide and watch us always.
We miss you so much!
Love,
Mom
We had our yearly reunion at Pasig. I see to it to join every year because this is the only time that we will get some updates about our lives. I miss them terribly. Though I have a busy schedules I really make sure to spend time with them.
They are my childhood playmates. We were together since birth and they made my childhood more memorable. We had so much good memories growing up and I think that is a great bond. I am happy with my family and so grateful that they are my family.
We had exchange gifts worth 300 pesos.
I got blanket, towel and wallet. 🙂
We got a chance to meet the new member of the clan. 😀
Then we had dance contest for the kids and to my surprise, Xavier showed his moves. LOL
They keep on asking how I lose weight. 😀
We had so much fun. It was a great night!
I am teaching the kids to know their relatives and the importance of spending time with them. Family is our strength and will stay with us in good and in bad times.
I am forever thankful for this chance to be with them and looking forward for our next party party!

This year is year of the Dog. 🙂
Since I arrived from our U.S trip, I was so busy. I never got a chance to stay at home. I have meetings everyday and I need to be at the office most of the time. We were also very busy preparing for the Christmas party in the office. So most of the time I was not in the house and it really made me so stressed out. Grabe hindi yata matapos tapos.
Then here comes New Year, I wanted to buy the things we needed so we went to Farmers on the 30th after our Batchmate Christmas Party in Cavite. Nakakaloka! Then on the 31st we went to Shopwise to complete our food but it took us another 2 hours just to reach at the counter. Sobrang daming tao. Next time November pa lang mamimili na ako ng para sa handa namin.
Mabuti na lang at nacomplete na namin lahat before pa dumilim, then I got a chance to nap before 12 midnight strikes.
The food
While waiting for 12 midnight we decided to play BINGO.
We went outside to watch Fireworks and to my surprise it was less this year and honestly I like it. There were less smoke and I don’t need to wear mask and I don’t have asthma attack.
I like those gold coins. 🙂
then we had our dinner..
2017 is quite a roller coaster ride. I’ve been through a lot in terms of financial but I am glad that it will be over soon. I am hoping that 2018 is a better year. I hope that all my wishes and hopes for 2018 will be granted but I know that I need to work so hard and let God do the rest. I hope for a healthier me and for my whole family. I am always praying for the safety of everyone!
I wish everyone the best 2018!
Happy New Year!
Have a prosperous 2018 everyone!
After Baclaran we decided to go to Okada Hotel to watch the Dancing Fountain.
But to our surprise it was so traffic, it took us at least 2 hours before we went inside the Hotel.
It was overcrowded as well. Some restaurants and shops were closed.
Long lines everywhere and it took us another 2 hours to eat. The restaurants were not prepared for the guests and some don’t have any supplies anymore.
I was starving and I wanted to go home already. We went to Pepper Lunch and it took them 1 hour to serve our food. Oh my! I will never again go out on Christmas day.
After having dinner we went ahead and explore the place.
Then we watched the dancing fountain. It was so amazing… 🙂
I will definitely come back but not on holidays.

We decided to visit Baclaran Church for the first time. It is our tradition to visit a church every Christmas Day and since I’ve never been to Baclaran Church then I think it is really worth a visit.
There was less traffic that day and it was good day. It was not raining and so perfect to go out with the kids.
The Church is huge inside 🙂
We lighted a candle and praying for good health and safety for the whole family and for everyone around us.

Merry Christmas everyone!
The food 🙂
We waited for 12 midnight then we had our exchange gifts.
Xavier got the most number of gifts. ahahha
Family picture 🙂
It was a great and fun Christmas! I wish to have a happy Christmas every year. Christmas is always my favorite holiday medyo nagbago nga lang nong nawala si Ayumi but now unti unti ng bumabalik.
I wish everyone a great one too!
