Grated carrots for Anene. The photo is grabbed somewhere from Google. I was not able to take a photo, kasi. A week before going back to work is like a practice for us ni hubby on how we will run our mornings for the whole school year. Routine will be different now that Anene is more active physically. Yung tipong ang fragile niya at the same time ang likot niya! Hahaha! 1.Hubby wakes up, ako padede konti, Anene asleep. 2.Hubby prepares hot water pampaligo and cooks the rice, ako padede, Anene asleep. 3.Hubby goes back to the room, ako ligo, Anene asleep tapos maya-maya magigising na. 4.I'm still in the bath and Hubby changes Anene's diaper. 5.Bihis na ako ng mabilis, Hubby and Anene goes out papaaraw saglit. 6.Anene goes in. Hubby's turn to take a bath, ako luto ng ulam at prepare ng food ni Anene for the day while she is on her walker. Walking exercise! Grabe! Habang nagluluto so so so likot. Paikot-ikot around the kitchen. Hahaha. It's 10:37 as of this posting... I hope she's eating the carrot meal i prepared for her. I love you, Anak! 😘

When i was younger, sabi ko dapat may anak na ako by the age of 23 para strong pa ako at makasampa sa stage sa college graduation niya. Kaso waley. By age of 24, sabi ko kahit wala asawa basta may baby. Waley pa rin. Haha. Tapos dumating din yung time... Nagkaroon ako ng asawa, i conceived and delivered this beautiful baby at the age of 27. Medyo late sa timeline ko noon... But thankful pa rin ako kasi kung natupad agad yung gusto ko na magkaroon ng anak noon, maloloka talaga ako. 😂 Kasi for sure di ko kakayanin. HHaha. Akala ko noon, having a baby is all cuteness and happiness. Pero hindi pala. (Having a child does not equate with motherhood, though.) Hahaha! Hindi pala ganon! 😂😂😂 Akala ko humaba na pisi ng pasensya ko kasi hindi na ako patola sa school, pero hindi pa rin pala. Nasa motherhood pala ang ultimate test ng pasensya. Marami ka nang hindi pwede gawin. Marami kang kailangan gawin nang mabilisan. Ikkwento ko sana kaso that's for one to find it all out. 😁 At syempre nagbabago-bago yung level ng hirap depende kung nasaang stage ka na. Wala naman nagsabi na ganon pala. Bakit hindi ninyo ako sinabihan? 😂😂😂 May pains at maraming isasakripisyo. It's not all about you anymore. It's all about that little human being. Pero masaya naman. 😁 Cute naman kapag ngumiti o tumawa si little one. Maayos din ang mundo mo kapag masaya at nasa maayos na lagay siya. 😊 Kapag nahi-hit niya yung milestones niya, parang achievement na talaga. 😍 So, ganun na nga. Hihihi. Alabyuuuu, Anene ko. Love ka ng nanay. Palagi ka maging healthy and good girl. Wag ka na rin mangagat at mangurot, please. 😘😘😘 Thank you, tatay Ariel. Palagi ka mabait sa amin ng Anene. Hihihi. ❤ HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY to all the mom's in the world! 💐😍

When your husband is upset with something... Do not be an other source of dismay. Understand the situation. Ask how you could help. Give encouragement. Give a glass of water or a cup of coffee. Do your own stuff quietly. Cook for the mealtime. Pray that whatever he is doing will turn out good. Rejoice in his success. And vice versa. #marriage

It is wrong to wish ourselves dead. Life is God’s gift to us, a sacred trust for which we shall have to give account. While God keeps us living, He has something for us to do. Our prayer should be for grace to do our duty bravely and well unto the end.

Pacencia

This morning while we were doing the laundry, I had my [pregnancy] hot flush.

I got mad at my husband and naggggggggged him repeatedly.

It was because of a petty thing; because he was doing the work slowly; t'was not a big deal, right?

Ugh. I don't know why. :(

So he stopped with the laundry and went inside... He let me finish the laundry. He made me carry and bring back the washing machine inside the house.

We even did not managed to eat lunch because of our misunderstanding. I only had two bananas late afternoon because I got very hungry.

I was hurt for his carelessness.

I looked and reflected on my actions. I was wrong. We were scheduled to do the laundry the whole day and not to leave the house so there was nothing to hurry for; but I wanted him to work fast.

I got impatient.

I asked God for forgiveness and prayed for reconcilation.

I fell asleep and woke up of hunger.

In the kitchen, I saw him cooking our dinner; embraced him and told him how sorry I am.

He forgave me.

He forgave me even before I ask for it.

Patience...

Patience plays a major role in a successful marriage.

I realize that [pregnancy] mood swings should not be a reason for being impatient with my spouse.

There might be misunderstandings and difficulties but it should not be a reason to cause the marriage suffer.

Thank You, Lord, for Your blessing of forgiveness, love, and patience. ❤

Fathers' Day 2018 Tonight, we got ourselves into trouble. Nai-lock namin yung bahay without holding our own keys. He first went out. Then I followed. When I was about to lock the dead bolt, I asked him for the keys. He said na hindi nya daw dala yung purse niya. (Oh noooooooooooooo!) I thought he had his keys kasi lagi naman niyang dala. Then I asked him, "Bakit kasi hindi mo dala yung susi? Eh lagi mo naman dala yun?" And he answered calmly, "Nakita mo naman na nilipat ko yung susi diba? Wag ka na magalit dyan, ma-stress ka lang. Tara buksan natin." He tried using a card from his wallet to open the door. Kaso hindi nag-work. I asked him about the keys he left in his parents' house... Pero binawi na daw niya. There was no spare keys at our parents' houses. So wala talaga. My husband planned to break the backdoor. But I disagreed. "Bili muna tayo ulam," he said. Fine. While on our way... I insisted that we go to my parents' house. Papa was a key master. He can open locked doors; isa yun sa mga naging trabaho niya sa hotel. Pero ang gusto ko lang naman ay humiram ng isang bungkos ng susi to try sa door knob. Ang sa akin lang naman is dapat may plan a, b, c... And last option na ang magwasak. Kaya pumayag rin siya. We went to my parents' house. Borrowed some keys while he was buying ulam. Went back home. I tried the keys that I got sa bahay. Nung wala na, he went to the backdoor and broke it. Ayun. He opened the front door na from the inside. Thank You Lord. Before we had our dinner, we discussed what happened and he led the prayer. Huhuhu. We learned the following lessons: * Hold the keys before going out. * Do not always assume na may dala (whatever it is) ang isa... Ask to check. * Face the situation as calm as possible. No need to stress thy self and the partner. * Don't blame the other. Kahit siya man ang may kasalanan o ikaw o parehas kayo. * Find solutions na parehas kayo agree. * Check thy self and ask for forgiveness. * Of course, pray upon the happening of the incident. * Thank the Lord for everything. Haaaaay. What will I do without him? What could have happened kung hindi siya ang asawa ko? Thank You, Lord, for Ariel's life. Thank You, God, for the man he is. Thank You for giving him to me to be my husband and to be the father of our offspring/s. I pray that he will continue to grow to be the man after God's own heart. I pray that he will always be the good husband and that he will get better pa and I also pray that he will be the good father to our child. Amen. Thank You so much, Jesus. ❤

Nakakatuwa. ☺ Nagwi-wiggle tummy ko kapag gumagalaw si baby. Sumisipa at nag-i-stretch sa loob. I can feel it. Love it. ❤
