Dear October, you are my birth month. Hope you be good to me

I support local and small business and I always get excited to what each small business has to offer. I particularly live to listen to the business owner's vision and how he mnages his or her business..I just visited a neighbor's burger stand located at a talipapa (small market) near us. Specifically, I just wanted to eat fries because I was craving for some, but I ended up asking what's her best selling burger..so there it is, I ordered crispy burger with cheese and fries...what I love about it is that I see how clean the place is and even her food storages. And the taste, it tastes fresh and yummy. It's very important for a burger to taste fresh because we always have this notion that they just use frozen ingredients to it. This burger and fries just costs 48 pesos. Not bad at all..I was satisfied and happy :-)

A Healthier Patty

I got this recipe online and from a friend. This is called tuna skyflakes nuggets/patties. It’s easy to cook plus it’s affordable and healthy. Here are the ingredients:

1 Can of San Marino Tuna in oil 2 Packs of Skyflakes (crushed) 1 Medium size egg 1 Medium size carrot (grated) 1 Medium size onion Some green onion leaves Pinch of salt to taste Some powdered black pepper to taste

Instruction:

Combine all ingredients and mix well Form it into nuggets shape or patties, whichever you like Fry it

My husband, brother loved it. My kid needs some getting used to but she ate it anyway. It taste like a real patty when eaten with bread. You may also eat it with rice as a vian or eat it straight away with your choice of dip! :-) enjoy!

Yesterday, June 1st was a very good day for our family. We went to Seamen's hospital for a ceck up, and the doctor confimed that baby number 2 is real :-) As I posted earlier, I did a frog test and it's positive, but it was too early when I did it. But finally yesterday, as I lay there and s the doctor run an ultrasound, I saw baby number 2 on the screen. He/she's just a spot now but soon, the baby will grow and will have clearer and steonger forms. It gave me a feeling of excitement once again just like when I had Ammarrah. As for Ammarrah, my eldest we went to McDonald's where I bought her Happy Meal for a toy and in the afternoon, as we ate in Jollibee, I bought her a Jollibee character bag. I love seeing the delight on her face and eyes and everytime she exclaimed "wow". It makes my heart really happy. We bought a gallon of ice cream to celebrate and announce the news to my mother. Today, as of writing I'm here in Medline Plus for my Trans Abdominal ultrasound. It's half past 9 in the morning and the doctor will be around by 11am according to the nurses here. I am excited to see baby no. 2 again on the screen :-) This second stage of motherhoon made me feel excited. I plan to study some crash course to level up my skills. I want to help my husband earn money. May the Lord bless our family, our plns and dreams as we walk with the Lord.

I cooked Chicken Sinigang today for lunch. Sinigang or Stewed chicken with tamarind powder is a Filipino food being served with rice as a viand. I was surprised how cooking can change your mood. I woke this morning clueless as how my day would go. We currently have a financial problem and it hinders me feom doing things like going out to meet a client. It also affects my mood and my confidence. I feel guilty that I do not have a stable job to help my family. Everyday as I sit and ponder on things, it made me feel as though I am helpless and lazy. I am cought between deciding to have a full time job and staying home to take care of my child. My husband is currently unemployed and we do not have any money. I am thankful that God still provides. Going back to cooking sinigang, since I did not know what yo do this morning, I decided to cook and got surprised fhat my mood changed though for a moment. I badly need some time to pray for comfort from the Lord...

It's May 5! I woke up at around 5AM to do the pregnancy test with a pounding heart and a prayer that whatever the result is, may the Lord gives me joy. The fist line became visible at fist and I am not seeing the second line yet, but after a few minutes, there it is! I felt a little nervous, but thankful to the Lord for baby number 2! :-) I do not know how to talk my husband yet, but I will pray for the perfect timing. My refuge is the Lord who is my confidante now that I am on another stage of motherhood. Lord, please guide me through this and help me in every step of this pregnancy. Please provide our every need.

Discipline

I noticed lately hoe much time I waste on checking stuff online. On waking up, I would check my Facebook first then some other applications online. Then I would realize that I spend too much time online, then I forget to read my Bible and have my daily devotion. Gladly, I still jave time to pray and upon realizing that what I am doing is no good, I prayed hard to the Lord to change my heart for Him to give me such interest in reading His Word for me to know His will. I am seven months pregnant, I feel sluggish recently, but I know that the Lord is more powerful than what I feel now. I know that this is not an excuse for me to forget to read His Word. There is this website called Kingdomnomics that has the central theme of using your time, talent and treasure for the Lord and to focus on things above. Because of this I have been enlightened and encouraged to read my Bible and to have a discipline in reading it. It is hard at first but I know that it is hard only at the beginning. I pray for discipline amd desire to be submissive to the will of the Lord and to delight in His ways. Now my reading plan is from Genesis to revelation. It is already May 22, but it is not too late. What important is for me to start reading His Word again.

5th Month of Being Married

It’s been five months being married to Alex, and I can say that it’s such an amazing marriage. He hugged and kissed me and said sorry for his faults within this five months of us being married. I really love the life that God has given us. I can feel how God has blessed us in so many ways and how he sustains our needs. May the Lord continue to bless us and to strengthen pur relationship as the years progresses. May it become sweeter even if bitter things may happen..May we love each other more than how we love each other now.

Now, I become more excited to see our little baby. May this baby become fearful to our God, may He walk in righteousness and love.

Again, thank God for His love and faithfulness to us.

365 Days of Not Posting Anything on Facebook

So I decided not to post anything on Facebook for a year. It is a tough goal, but I realize how dependent people are on Facebook to the point of posting everthing they feel. most of the time I feel the same way and I know that it's not a good thing..My God help me.

[angelfire2884]

Thank God for our new bed! Last night, we bought this bed from a friend. They have not used it for a long time, and they sold it to us at half the price, it’s been used anyway.

Many things happned since the last time I wrote here in tumblr. I got sick last Jan 22, I had a high fever, so we went to an OB the following day. She said it was good that I took Biogesic the night before to ease my fever. She said that it was safe for pregnant women. She replaced my vitamins, and i’m now taking Trev-Iron.

On the 25th, husband is scheduled to leave the country to work as a sea fearer for 9 months. I trully pray for his safety and comfort in times of loneliness and trials.

Our baby is due to come out in July, if God’s will..I’m excited to see our first baby! :)

Sadness

Yesterday i feel frustrated and disappointed. I was supposed to have two appointments, but none of it happened. The first was supposed to be with a friend. She would accompany Alex and I for the reservation of the house we were eying in Tierra Verde, but my friend did not contact us, so it didn't happen. My husband and I decided not to push through the house reservation, and just ro wait for God's timing. Another one was a client call. It was scheduled in the afternoon, but she did not respond to my text messages either, so it was obviously cancelled. I waited till night yesterday, but she did not reply. I got a message from her at around 8:00PM I guess that she's free on Thursday for our appointment. I thanked her still. My boss sent me a message that since i was not able to close two cases until yesterday, i must be making a big sale this quarter because I am a candidate for termination. I replied back to her with this: "i know". Yesteray was a frustrating one. It was painful to realize that things thant i've been praying for didn't happen. But last night after crying, i prayed and hoped for the best. I know that God has a better plan, and that i musta wait for his timing. Today I pray for hope and confidence, because I feel so down. I feel inferior around my team mates, and i lnow that it is not a good sign. I remember praying to God last Sunday that if it His will for me to go on with Sunlife, He will bless me with at least two sales till January 27. ait did not happen. I felt sad, because I love My job, but I thank God for His answer. I know I must grust Him fully.

Worry

I'm worried because my hisband loves basketball too much. He uses most of his time either watching basketball or playing one. I have not seen him read the Bible, and I kept on reminding him to do so, but he does not listen to me. Most of the time it disappoints me, because I know that the Lord is not pleased with how he uses his time. I want him to be a role model to our future kid, but I'm not sure if that will come true, because my husband is a bit stubborn :( May the Lord help me with this worry. May He change my husband's heart and lead him to be more interested in His Word.

Our small room. After getting married, sinced we don't own a house yet, my hubby and i decided to live with my mother. The pictures above show our little room. It's been my room since i then. You'll see a small foam, which I turned to a sofa bed. I do this to reveal some space inside the room. We have a big white closet where one of the doors is broken! See that little table? It's supposed to be a bed-top table for breakfast in bed, but we decided to use it for our small stuff and my laptop. And of course our room has a window that lets the cold wind in. It may be a small space now, but I know that God will provide a bigger one in the future. Thank God!

my plants. i love to see these little wonders everyday. it amazes me to see some sprout. whenever i look at these plants, i am reminded how gracious God is and how magical His love is. Just like the baby in my tummy, He keeps this little plants and sustain them everyday. i thank God for giving me the desire to take care of them and the wisdom i gain everyday from growing them. my first plant was the mint plant. i bought it in Tagaytay. it was a healthy plant before. i placed it in my cousins garden, but the bigger plant died and i was left with this little plant that's been trying to survive. the next that i got was the Chinese Bamboo. i got it from our friends' wedding. it was a giveaway and i'm so happy to see it grow everyday just like their love for each other! :) then i planted the chilli. it came from Puerto Galera. i grabbed a handful of chilli fruits from my father in law's garden, then when i came home here in Cavite, i poked one of the chillis into the pot, and viola, it grew! the fourth one, and the last so far are these cute bell pepper sprouts. i cut half of the bell pepper from our fridge, placed it on top of the soil beside the chilli sprout, then after three weeks, i was so surprised that the sprouts showed up! i trully thank God for giving me this opportunity to take care of these small wonders :) To God be the glory!

Fatigue and Sleepyness

I noticed that I always feel sleepy and i feel that my energy always runs out. I feel worried about it because my job is in sales and i don't feel motivated to go to work or meet clients. I talked to my cousin yeasterday, and she shared the same sentiments. I'm thankful that this is not something unusual for a pregnant woman like myself. She said that she just want to lie in bed and she doesn't feel the need to work. She said that she did not want to work or think. She's on her 3rd month of pregnancy. I don't know how long this is going to take, but it's all worth it. I'll be happy to experience all these for my little one :)
