Mothers Day

I woke up late and I got a little surprise from the kids!
Yay! I got a bouquet and a Mother’s Day banner.

Irish and the kids made this day so much special.
I am glad that I am now a Mom and this is my favorite title ever!
It’s difficult to order roses since we are still in a quarantine but my daughter Irish ordered food from Jollibee through Grab and he asked the delivery man to purchase roses. Then she got it!

Thank you so much my dear Kids! You made this day extra special!

Reading Time

We are staying in the house for almost 2 months now and so we make a new rule for the kids.
This time I let them read books first before they can use gadgets.
So they obliged because I’m hiding their phones.
Even Gareth loves to read books and he follow the rules.
So there you go… it’s time to take those hidden books out now.

Cravings

I was craving for this Filipino delicacy. Since we don’t know where to get this during this pandemic, hubby researched on how to make it and he made it perfectly! Yay! I am so happy!
Then I was craving for humus and then the nearby restaurant that are selling this is finally opened so we got our humus! yay!
Tabbouleh is a perfect pair for humus! I was so happy and satisfied!

These are the little things that I missed eating during this quarantine. I am just happy that I have it again. I appreciate the things that I have right now, though life is not perfect and I still have this anxiety regarding the pandemic. I just hope that everyone is safe and healthy.

Hair Cutting

So our hair cutter was delivered and so it was my time to cut the hair of the boys. I cut hubby’s hair and I am proud of myself. I didn’t overdo it and he likes it.
For Gareth and Clint we decided it to be like that because it is summer and I think cutting their hair short is ideal.

So there you go..

I am waiting for their hair to grow again so I can cut it again. 😀

Father’s 15th Death Anniversary

It still feels like yesterday but it’s been 15 years already without him.
I was 25 when my died. He had liver cancer.
Since we can’t visit the cemetery, we prayed rosary at home with the kids.
Just after 2 years after I got married he passed away. During my wedding day, he was the happiest. I can see in his eyes how happy he was. I am at least proud of myself that somehow I make him happy. His request before was to walk me to the altar and I am so lucky that he was with me during those happy times of my life.
My father was very disciplinarian. He was so strict particularly with my behaviour and academics.
I am thankful for the way he disciplined me because it help me become who I am today. He was perfectionist and so I got it from him. He was so tough and teach me not to use my emotions all the time.
As a leader, I know that without his way of disciplining me, I am not an effective leader today.
I am so thankful that I have a father like him and if ever I have to life my life again, I will still choose him to be my father.

Making Xiao Log Bao

We miss Xiao long bao, so hubby decided to make some.
He watched it in Youtube then prepare the ingredients.
I didn’t know that it took so long to prepare it. I think it took him around 2 days to prepare everything.
But when it was done, it is almost perfect. Not bad for a first time. He dedicated more time to make it and highly appreciate the efforts.
I realized that it was not easy to do, so next time when I ordered it in the restaurant, I should be more patient in waiting.

New Painting

This painting has a little details that it took me 2 months to finish. I am not working on it everyday and since it’s quarantine, I got enough free time to finish it.
This is my Angel Ayumi. 🙂

Life Update

We are usually awake up to 3am. The kids are playing Monopoly. Hubby is teaching them. Nakakatuwa na rin kasi natuto silang magmonopoly.
I have my pictorial with Xavier.

I miss going to the office. I miss doing things that I normally do. But I know I have to stay at home. I can do this…
I’m thankful that my employees and my family are healthy. I hope that this pandemic will be over soon.

Community Quarantine is Extended

As expected, the community quarantine is now extended up to May 15. It is a right decision because everyday there are new cases of Covid 19.

So here I am feeding my mind, I take this opportunity to read books that I have collected all through out these years.
My favorite merienda every afternoon.
Resilience…

We don’t know what’s our future will be. We are scared of what might happen next. But as a Leader, I have to stand still for my people. I should control my thoughts because it might affect my leadership. So it is important that I should take care of my well being because one mistake will have a big impact for my leadership.
So I keep myself away from negative vibe and I only focus on what is good for my well being.
I limit my usage of social media because sometimes I get tired of the things I read.

Just Chilling

Ganito palagi ang scenario sa bahay araw araw. After kumain, maliligo na sila at magtake ng vitamins. Then start na silang manood ng movie, use gadgets but still limited.

Minsan may reading time sila at exercise.
Pati pets namin ay gnaon din, may chill time din sila. Kapag tapos na silang kumain ayon kanya kanya na silang hanap ng pwesto para matulog.

I wish everyone safety and good health!
