The souvenirs for kids.

Food

The dessert buffet

It was a successful birthday celebration of Xavier. Friends and relatives joined us and I am so glad that they made it.

I will be posting more about it but I still have to wait for the pictures from our official photographer so that I can show you more of the detailed part of the event.

The day before my birthday, I was in Tagaytay and got so tired. We slept around 10pm and Xavier keeps on waking up every 3 hours so I have to do my duty as a mom so ang ending puyat na puyat pa rin na buong akala ko makabawi ako ng tulog. I usually sleep around 2 or 3 am and walk up around 12 – 1pm, because in between those hours I am also taking care of Xavier. Pero ok lang, medyo sanay na rin ang katawan ko.

So ang naging ending kanina ay bumawi akong tulog. Hinayaan ko muna na yaya ang mag alaga sa kanya para makabawi ako ng tulog. Kahit may yaya kasi sya, ako pa rin ang nag aalaga kasi may iba din ginagawa ang yaya, sya na rin kasi ang nagluluto at naglilinis ng bahay.

I woke up around 1:30pm. I got text messages, all is about birthday greetings. But I have a meeting, so I prepare myself and headed to my meeting. Then I need to ran to the bank and to the other bank then finally I had my lunch at the nearby restaurant. Then I had a call for another meeting.

Everything is done around 6pm.

Hubby need to cook spaghetti and fried pork chop because I decided to go to the spa for my birthday celebration. I wanted to spend it with my family and staff.

Pagdating namin sa spa may mga clients pa kaya bawal pa kaming mag ingay…

so hintay hintay muna…

nong lumabas ang clients, sabay naglabasan ang pagkain.

It’s a great day! I am very thankful for all the people around me, they are really a blessing to me. I am so happy that I got the best husband, kids, siblings and staffs.

I wish that God will bless me a healthy long life so that I can continue to share the blessings I have to all those who needed it most.

Have a great day everyone!

God is good all the time…

PreBirthday Celebration

I had my Prebirthday celebration yesterday at Tagaytay but before that I also see to it to visit my Alma Mater. The school that molded me to become I am today. The place where I learn so much values that I am most grateful for.

The Sisters of Mary Girlstown Cavite.

I am graduate of Sisters of Mary Cebu.

When I entered the Museum:

Sister Mau: Hi Ate, kumusta na po.

Me: Ok lang naman. Dumalaw lang ako. Namiss ko to.

Sister: 10th batch po ba kayo?

Me: ha? hindi… 3rd batch ako.

Sister: Naku Ate, ang bata mo pa kasi.

o diba.. nakalimutan ko tuloy na 35 na ako.

Pumunta kami sa Museum ni Fr. Al. He was the founder of Sisters of Mary. He is really a good man. Sayang lang talaga kasi hindi ko sya naabutan nong pumasok ako sa SOM.

Meron din don mga souvenir items. I bought books, prayer guide and bookmark.

That is where Fr. Al buried. I went to him everytime I have wishes and everytime I don’t feel good or I need spiritual help. He never failed to help me. He is truly our father. I love how he teaches us and I can’t wait to read all his books because I wanted to know him more. I can’t wait na maging Santo na si Fr. Al. Ako siguro ang isa sa pinakamasaya kapag nangyari yon.

Sr. Riza with Gareth, I am thankful for all the prayers of the nuns for me during those times when I was so down. During those times when my faith was deeply affected, Sr. Riza is the one who helped me back my faith.

After our tour at SOM we went to Tagaytay to visit Our Lady of Lourdes.

The Church is so nice.

Then we had our dinner at Antonio’s Grill in Tagaytay.

Nong dumating kami wala pang tao, nong paalis na kami medyo madami dami na rin.

Our orders:

Ensaladang Talong

Bulalo

Sisig

Pusit

Grilled Pork

Grabe sobrang busog na busog ako. Medyo napasarap ang kain kasi nalipasan. Naligaw pa kami kasi hinanap namin ang Antonio’s Restaurant. Nakakaloka umabot yata kami don sa kasulok sulokan. As always, ang google maps minsan mali mali ang tinuturong direction sa amin.

Pico De Loro Getaway

We celebrated my husband’s birthday at Pico de Loro. We wanted to stay at the beach but since we can’t travel yet far from home because Xavier is just 2 months, we opted to stay at Pico de Loro. The beach is very private and so perfect for a birthday getaway.

I got a corner room and we really love it. We traveled without a yaya and it’s our first time to try and we are proud of ourselves that we made it. It’s not easy but we love it. We love going somewhere without yaya’s because that is a perfect time to get to know our kids. I am glad that the kids are used to be with us and we really know what they want so it is easy for us to bring them anywhere.

Here are some of the pictures:

That is the real happenings inside our room. 🙂

Gareth is watching TV while Xavy is sleeping. 🙂

The Beach

Hubby and Gareth love the beach.

We requested a baby cot for Xavier but it turned out that Gareth liked it. He sleeps and play in a baby cot. 🙂

It was a smooth sailing getaway but we really love it. We got a time for ourselves and for the kids. We also had a great time to be with them without any distraction. It was hard because both of them are demanding but we are used to it and we just enjoy it.

Gareth’s 7th Birthday

We celebrated Gareth’s 7th Birthday at Boystown Manila Complex where the abandon and abused kids are staying. It melt my heart knowing that they will grow up not in their parents. It’s a sad reality that not all parents can provide comfort, love and security to their kids.

I am glad that I got a chance to meet the kids and in our simple we bring happiness.

Here are the pictures:

I wish Gareth a good health always and more more birthdays to come!

I also wish that all the kids will find comfort and they will feel love. I ask God to bless me more so that I can continue to extend help to those who needed me most.

Birthday Gift

I got my new birthday gift from Hubby. It was quite late but it’s okay because we made sure first that the we transfer to our new place.

I wanted this Celine Bag since last year but I can’t afford it yet so I decided to wait. I am very happy when I got it. 🙂

I am very thankful not just for the material things but for the life and blessings that we have. I will continue to share whatever I have right now because I know that God grant me this blessings so that I can offer it too to others.

Anyway, I stayed now at home and just work from here. For the past 2 days, we are busy for the interior designing of our house and I realized that I should take a break today.

Happy Birthday Ayumi!

If only you are here with us today, we will be having a grand celebration, just like what we used to do. Maybe for the past 3 months I am busy preparing for your birthday. Maybe I already order your birthday gown months before your birthday. But not… I never did all those things because there we don’t have you anymore here. You are there and I know that you are happier in Heaven now.

I feel so sad today knowing that I cant’ have you in your very special day. The emptiness is here to stay and I don’t know if this will go away. I wish to hug and kiss you on your birthday. I wish to sing you a song. I want to see your happy face again. I miss you so much Pillow.

This is your first birthday without us and I hope that you have the best birthday in Heaven. Please always remember that we love you so much. No matter how hard I wish that you are here with us today, I know it’s hard.

I really can’t stop crying… my tears are just keep on falling. I just miss you so much!

Happy Birthday in Heaven

I wish you were here today
even for just a little while
so I could say Happy Birthday Pillow
and see your beautiful smile.

The only gifts today will be
the gifts you left behind;
The laughter, joy and happiness…
precious memories…the best kind.

Today I’ll do my very best
to try and find a happy place…
struggling to hide my heavy heart
and the tears on my face.

I’ll sit quietly and look at your picture
thinking of you with love;
hoping you’re doing ok
in Heaven up above.

May the angels hold you close and
sing you a happy song…
and I’ll be sending wishes to you
today and all year long.

Happy 6th Birthday Gareth

This past few days I am very busy preparing for Gareth’s birthday. We celebrated his 6th birthday at Jollibee Greenmeadows. It is a simple birthday celebration and I am so glad that he participated. Though there are moments that he got mad because he is not used to it.

I will be posting more pictures soon from our official photographer.
