Here's My Story..but Not Everything Yet

I know! I know! I keep on saying that I’m coming back but there it went..weeks since my last blog.  I do have this urge to write specially when my thoughts are out bursting.  There are actually so many things to share so that means I am not out of inspiration. Right?  It’s time.  I blame it all on TIME.  Kawawa naman si time at ginamit ko pang excuse. Siguro kung makapagsalita lang si time ayun minura na ako. J

I’ll be honest na.  It’s all about time management—which I AM so poor at.  Nakakahiya man aminin talaga.  There’s just so many things to do with the kids, competitions of my teens, hatid-sundo of my 2 toddlers to school at pag tutor pa with their schoolworks, chores  around the house, what I really want to do with my passion, with being an aspiring networker. Ay grabe ang dami na! I do enjoy doing all! Eto pa, the reason why I’m blogging now? And I might be in the next coming days? (hopefully mag dilang anghel ako) coz I’ve given up my 8-5 day job. Why? In the next blog na. hehe!

So there, let me make ayos this post first then I hope and pray that my guiding spirits and I hope that they are bloggers too coz I’m sure they’re in the perfect shape to understand me, yet may they continue to stand alongside me and push me more to write on my next blog.

P.S.

I MISSED YOU ALL! BIGTIME!

Gone and Back

"I find that determination and passion works best together.  Just look for that one thing that you love to do."

That's what I posted on my FB wall just a few minutes ago.  I know I've written it myself but I honestly find it quite difficult to do.  Probably at this point I'm trying to make it as a personal note to myself..to believe in it.  I don't have difficulty with passion coz I know I am already.  It's when you get distracted with emotional demons that determination falters.  That's my challenge.

Getting back to blogging would liven back that passion and I'm hoping that through this platform will I work on my challenges. There are so many things that I'd like to express and share with.  I'd like to open up myself again and be vulnerable to creative ideas and thoughts from people I've created relationships with.

So, I'm back. Again. ;-)

Life's Reason

I have been very busy.  Like super duper busy and I’m not making it as an excuse why I haven’t blogged in a very long time.

Well…it does kind of a way of an excuse…

 But really,  I have been honestly busy, juggling work, household and my four active young ones.  And when I mean by active, if you have been reading my previous posts, you would know by now that I am breeding athletes of champions.  And I am saying that with pride and awe.  J

I just love talking about my children.  I mean, who wouldn’t?  We all talk lovingly about our children and the joy they bring to our lives.

Which basically is the reason why I created my blog in the first place.  That is to share my experience as a mother and how it is to grow alongside with my children. 

I realized, my life, specially as a mother, who has been gifted with such talented, bright and joyful kids is so wonderful that it ought to be an everyday  shout-out to the world. 

That is why I am thankful as well for today’s technology that it can be made possible. 

That is why I’m glad I’m back to blogging again.  J

Praying For A Good Year

I know this is kind of a late post already.  But I promised myself that I will try to post one entry each day and I guess it isn’t too late enough to greet everyone a Happy New Year.  These words have given me inspiration of what and how I’ll create my 2014 to be.  I believe it’s always best to start with the simple dreams and slowly work on the more complicated ones.  One thing I’m definitely sure of, is that I’ll be working on it with the people that matters to me most. 

I’m hoping and praying for a better year than it was in 2013.   How bout you, what do you wish for this 2014? J

Praising On Sundays: Solidarity

Gospel: Mt 11:2–11

“When John the Baptist heard in prison about the activities of Christ, he sent a message by his disciples, asking him: “Are you the one who is to come or should we expect someone else?”
Jesus answered them, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead are brought back to life and good news is reaching the poor. And how fortunate is the one who does not take offense at me.”
As the messengers left, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John, “When you went out to the desert, what did you expect to see? A reed swept by the wind? What did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? People who wear fine clothes live in palaces. What did you actually go out to see? A prophet? Yes, indeed, and even more than a prophet. He is the man of whom Scripture says: I send my messenger ahead of you to prepare the way before you.
I tell you this: no one greater than John the Baptist has come forward among the sons of women, and yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.”

Today, we attended mass in Troy and Tracy’s school which was part of the program for their Family Day.  The Eucharistic celebration was presided by one of the University administrators, Fr. Javines.  This year’s theme is solidarity and the priest’s homily was perfectly versed for all the things that had been happening around us lately.  I was particularly moved with his homily and he started it with a short story. 

 He went out one morning to buy bread at a nearby bakery and it was just a small store as he described it.  But with the sign that the bakery had put up you’d know that the people behind it has a big heart.  They had this sign that said ONE PESO FOR EVERY BREAD THAT YOU BUY.   Quite touching right? 

I’ve witnessed our fellowmen shared what much or little they have for the victims of Yolanda.   I am not a wealthy person but I have shared too.  We have known of people from foreign lands who are here to offer whatever help they can give.  And we know that they have given a lot, not just money but skills, time and heart too.  And it just feels so good to share.  The happiness is indescribable! 

But why is there still fighting with our government officials?  What’s the use of all the argument and all the blaming?  Is it impossible for all of us Filipinos to stand up all together and help our brothers and sisters start new lives again?  Why can’t it all start with our leaders?  They are supposed to be the people’s hope.  Now, I feel like I’m doing the blaming game too.  But it in all honesty, it’s so humiliating to let the world know bear witness of all the fighting that our leaders are doing.  Specially at a time right now that we are closely watched and monitored through news and updates and what the progress is specially for the victims.

Right now, our leaders are not in its solidary form.  We can only pray for them that they’ll be enlightened of the reality of things. For us, let’s continue to share and give. For it is only in giving that there is meaning.  When was the last time you have given? Do share. J

My Comeback

I am so ecstatic right now for the main reason that I have finally completed a week's blog hop and comment exchange.  Well, even if it was done in a bit of haste but at least I was able to read through a bit of my co-bloggers' thoughts with their blogs and post.  Yeah, I really missed you all.  :-)

Good to be back again. :-)

A light for the Typhoon Yolanda victims

Let's start a prayer brigade today by lighting one candle for the wounded families and greatly affected people in Tacloban, Samar, Ormoc Leyte and Daanbantayan Cebu.  May these people find solace in your protection and grace Lord.
