Family Reunion 2019

Our yearly family reunion is always on January 1st.

Umulan o umaraw tuloy ang get together namin. Sobrang lakas ang ulan nong January 1, nong nagcheck ako sa fb group chat namin nako madami na sila don, nagpost pa ng lechon. Matutulog na nasa ulit ako kaso naisip ko minsan lang kami magkita kita kaya dapat pumunta kami. At syempre may ambag ako don sa lechon baka magalit silang lahat sa akin. Ang lalaki pa naman ng mga katawan ng kamag anak ko, takot ko na lang sa kanila. ahhaha

Dumaan pa kaming All Home para mamili ng regalo, yon yong best time mamili kasi wala ng laman ang mall na tao at marami pa rin sale.

Bumili akong 4 na gifts para sa aming apat, hindi na namin sinama ang mga bata kasi malakas ang ulan at most of the time naiinis lang sila.

So pagdating namin nag start ng magpicture taking by family.

Ang saya lang…

Tapos umpisa na ang bigayan ng pera sa mga bata at pati kaming mga matanda nakipila na rin.

Medyo humina na ang ulan at lumabas na kami para magpicture taking. Medyo masikip sa loob at dumadami na talaga kami.

Next year dapat may maluwag na kaming venue. Dumadami na kami at naglalakihan pa at hindi na kami kasya sa bahay ng tita namin.

then nag start na ang exchange gifts namin. Mostly mga pambahay na gamit ang mga regalo namin para magamit ng bawat family.

Kaya ang natanggap namin ay rice cooker and lutuan feeling namin bagong kasal kami. Kaya ayan ang naging picture namin.. parang bagong kasal lang. hahaha

Ang saya saya, natapos kami ng 12 midnight! Kahit medyo masama pakiramdam ko pero kapag kasama ko na sila nagiging okay na ako.

Simula maliliit pa lang kami magkasama sama na kami, nasa Cagayan de Oro pa kami nakatira ganyan na kami kaclose. Salamat sa parents namin na palagi kaming pinagsasama sama.

Family indeed is the best support. We are always here for each other.

I am so lucky to have a family like them…

Thank you so much God for giving me a wonderful family!

While Waiting for New Year

Dec. 31, 2018

Last day of the year..

Hubby done preparing the food. So all we need to do is the 12 midnight!

So while waiting here’s what happened!

I played my FB apps…

We had our videoke.

The kids played cards…

It was great 2018 though there were ups and downs, I know that it is part of the journey and I don’t have regrets.

I wish everyone a great year ahead!

Yearly Reunion

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!

Happy New Year 2018

Jan. 1, 2018

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!

2017

It’s been six days already!

Happy New Year everyone!

I think I need to post something in welcoming a New Year since it is my yearly tradition. It just so happen that I was not yet ready on what to post!

There are so many things going on lately and I really don’t know on where to start. As you all know, I don’t really like into planning on something but I think I have to start doing it. I have planners to go with it and I think I have to stick with the plans since I am now the business owner of not just a small company but to a growing company. Yes, it is quite new for me to handle my BPO business but wow it’s so amazing and I am really excited for this company.

So we have clients coming this month and we are really excited to meet them. Oh God, for the longest time they will be coming! OMG… I still can’t believe! So there you go.. that made me so quite lately. That made me so nervous lately because this is a dream come true for us. I know that it will going to be AMAZING! (hold breath!)

Plans? well.. I don’t plan so much for long term before but I think I have to start to have these short term and long term plans and of course stick to it! But of course, I won’t be discussing some of our business plans here…  Not here! I will just write it down on my planner and sticky notes and print some it.

But… to sum of it all.. here are the plans… ahahahha

  1. I will be EXTREMELY working my ass!  – For the past years I am not really into it, I just worked but not 100% yet, so this time I will do it 100%. hahahah
  2. I will be EXTREMELY have a vacation! – I will try to explore more places with my sons and hubby. Having a vacation is my only way to relax and will definitely help me focus on my work. So it is really a necessity for me to have a vacation. It is my only fuel to go on with my goals. NECESSITY!
  3. I will continue to exercise and reach my weight goals and eventually control my sugar.  – ultimate goal to stay healthy but hey I am not really a health buff, I just need to balance everything.
  4. I will eat right. More fruits and Veggies. – I really love to eat and I love to visit new restos in the city and I think I should explore more.
  5. I will watch more movies. – This is my past time if I wanted to relax and don’t want to go in a vacation because I still have pending work to do. This is my way of unwinding if I can’t travel.
  6. Read more books! – I really can’t live without books. I am trying to control myself of going inside the bookstore because I still have so much books to finish. So until I am done with my unread 8 books, I have to get away with the bookstore. My goal is read at least 100 books this year!
  7. Focus on my painting! – I started to love paintings and later I realized that having this hobby is not easy. The materials are quite expensive. I spent so much from it and I am not even sure that my paintings were good, but I don’t care. ahhahaah I will continue to paint to make me feel good. It made me feel relax and more focus on my goals. It made me deal with my depression and anxiety attack. So I think it is so worth it.

There you go… Those are my goals for this year and I know that this year is the best! I can feel it and I am so excited for it.

Year End Post

This is indeed my Year End Post..

Few hours from now, it will be 2017. Oh, I need to practice writing the 2017 because in reality it took me at least a month to master it, specially if I need to issue some checks and memos. hahahah!

2016 in general is a good year for me and to my family. I am glad that we are all healthy though there are some challenges in my diabetes but later on I realized that it is a continuous struggle. As long as I am doing what is best for my body, then I should be good. I don’t want to dwell too much of it anymore. I am eating right and doing my daily exercise. I know that God will take care of the rest. I am sure of that.

As I look back about my 2016, I came along so many changes in my life. I received different awards for my businesses and I am proud of it. I never thought that I will experience such things. Non akala ko sa mga artista lang ang mga awards pero pwede din pala mangyari sa akin. I am glad that I am being recognized as an Entrepreneur.

I also started my BPO business this year and at first it was really hard. We encounter some challenging situations but I am glad that we made it. I also realized that business problems are sometimes out of my control but I should be ready always. I should think ahead of every situation. I need to protect my businesses and with that I know that I should be watchful and careful in every deal.

Taking risk is a new normal for me. I am now out of my comfort zone and I think I am loving it.

As you all know from the past that I suffer anxiety and panic attack and I am glad that this year it was lessen. I also had depression in the past due to what happened with my daughter but this year is way different. I finally overcome and though it is a constant struggle but at least this time I manage it well.

Many took advantage of me, some want to put me down and some love to see me on my lowest point but hey! I made it! Thank you for not believing in me and thank you for showing your true colors because I can address it well now. It made me handle it well. I know where to place you… as always.. you are now part of my past and leave behind. I am done with you and it is time to move on. You don’t have any space in my life right now. But despite of the pain, I am hoping that God will bless my heart to forgive those people, I hope God will heal my heart to forgive you. I just hope.

There are also people whom I love to be with. There are friends that made me laugh more this year and I’m loving it.  There are people who are really for keeps and I am glad that I found them. I always find time to appreciate the good things in life and just enjoy it.

I am so thankful for this year, I learn a lot and grow a lot from all the experiences that will definitely make me better in a year to come.

Thank you God and Mama Mary for all the blessings and for taking care of everything when you know that I can’t handle it anymore. I am really so grateful! You are the Best!

To God be the Glory!

Kung Hei Fat Choi 2016

We went to Megamall to get some Feng Shui items but my Suki wasn’t there so we went to Shangrila and get what I wanted.

I got a new feng shui charms and we bought some round fruits then headed back home.

I wear my polka dot pajamas para swerte.  
Then we distributed Ang Pao.  
This is our yearly tradition. I started doing it 8 years ago and since then I got “lucky”. 
We also have some tikoy which I like for the first time. Masarap ang nabili namin at maayos ang pagkaluto.

I am now leaving behind all the negativity of 2015 and looking forward for a rewarding 2016!

Kung Hei Fat Choi everyone!

New Year 2016!

 

While waiting for New Year’s Eve we had our videoke. As usual hindi nagpahuli ang two boys ko.

Kakalabas lang ni Gareth sa hospital pero ayan game na game na syang kumanta. He even requested na mag swim na daw sya. I am very thankful na hindi kami nag celebrate ng New Year sa hospital. I am thankful for all the prayers.

After all that happened, after all the struggles that my family went through all these years, I am still thankful for everything coz’ whatever happened simply made us grow stronger and value life.

I know that there are so much stored for us for the coming years! I am excited to witness what God has prepared for my family.

I wish everyone good health and prosperity 2016!

 

 

 

Thank You 2014

Sunday Inspiration // Say Thank You and Grow

2014 is a great year for me. It is the year when Xavier was born. Our rainbow baby was born. I am glad that I gave birth without any complications. I am thankful that I gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Having Xavier in our life is really a blessing. He is indeed our rainbow baby, because of him I believe that we should never lose our hope. We should continue to believe that God has a better plans for us.

In 2014, I open a new spa branch and through it I believe that I am capable of expanding my business. Managing a business is not easy. It takes dedication and patience and lots of prayers to make the business work.

In 2014, I am thankful for a better health. I am glad that I am now healthier than before. We are now more conscious on the food we take. I am thankful that finally I lost weight. I am not in my ideal weight yet but I believe that I can reach my goal soon because I know that I am on a right track now.

In 2014, our love with each other is going strong. My family is now more peaceful though we have differences but right now we are more matured to adjust to each other attitudes. I am happy the way it is now.

2014 is indeed a great year! I am thankful for all the people who stays with me through this journey. I know that there is so much to do but with God’s guidance I will achieve our goals.

Most of all, I am thankful for my husband, kids and siblings. They are my everything.
