Anxieties

If there is a time that I have lots of things to think and worry about, this is that time.

Yesterday, I have received a bad news. It is disappointing but life must go on. To stay on the positive side, I think it’s better it happened that way. I know God has plans for us that are even better than the plans we have for ourselves. I don’t think this way just to make me feel okay. I think this way because I know that this is true and that things happen for a reason which is accordance to His will. We may think that this is the right time for us but it is not yet His time and I trust Him with everything in our lives.

I am also anxious about my labor and delivery. I think you cannot take that away from an expecting mother. I worry more for my baby. I pray that she will be a normal & healthy baby girl. I also pray that I won’t have difficulty delivering her to this world and that she will not have difficulty coming out from me. I am so excited on April. Jay-ar and I will have our little angel at last.

I am also worried about me going back to work. The last time I was working, it was so tiring, stressful and depressing. Now when I think about it, I wouldn’t care anymore if I will be going back to the same tiring, stressful and depressing work as long as I still have a job. I will try to be stronger this time. But of course, I am still praying that the work I will be going back to will not be as tiring, stressful and depressing as before. If my prayer will be granted, I will be very happy and thankful. If not, I will still be thankful for I still have a job and try to be tougher to face the challenges. I want to be the kind of person being mentioned in the saying that if the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

Lastly, I am worried about our land acquisition in Laguna Bel-Air 3. This is the first time that we entered into this kind of dealings wherein there are lots of legal documents to prepare and submit and lots of processing that we need to go through. I pray that the processing will be as hassle-free as possible and that we can comply with the monthly amortization. I will be very glad and grateful when the time comes that we have done paying for the lots we are acquiring and we are debt-free again.

I pray to God to help us with all our undertakings and responsibilities this 2009 and all the years to come and provide us good health to be able to do all the things that we need to do. I also pray for His guidance on all the decisions we need to make in our lives. And I thank Him for all the blessings that He has given us. All that have been mentioned above are blessings from God. I know I should not worry too much but I guess it’s just human-nature to worry. But I know that if I trust these things to Him, everything will be alright. 

Kung Hei Fat Choi!

Happy Birthday Papa!

To the most wonderful and supportive father a daughter could ever ask for, who from day one always makes sure his family is taken care of. He is a great husband, father, provider, and friend to his family and friends. He is greatly loved and appreciated...

Happy Happy Birthday!

Papa, no matter what, I will always be "Daddy's Little Girl". I love you.

Tiring Day

Yesterday was a very tiring day for me, my shoti and for my parents as we headed south to run some errands. We left our condo around 8 am and our first stop was the town of San Pedro, Laguna where my mom paid the real estate tax for our house there. After that, we went to Pacita to drop by the old laptop we are not using anymore to my auntie's house so it could be more useful there. Then we went to Jollibee coz my little brother wanted to have the new toys from the Jolly Kiddie Meal. So all of us ordered for Jolly Kiddie Meal so he can have all the toys available in one blow. Then we headed to the town of Binan to renew my super-dee-duper expired driver's license in LTO. Normally, one would take the whole day just to renew his driver's license in LTO Binan but since we are so lucky enough that we know someone working there, renewing my license was a bliss. As a matter of fact, only stayed there for more or less than an hour. I will just claim my renewed license next week.  

Next stop is Calamba City. The hometown of my poging poging hubby. I needed to go to his house to return my mom-in-law's passport to her with the social visit stamp for Malaysia. I accompanied my mom-in-law to the Malaysian embassy last Monday to apply for a social visit so she could stay in Malaysia for 3 months. The embassy returned the passport last Thursday and I was able to return it to my mom-in-law yesterday.

Then from Calamba, we went to Laguna Belair-3 to check out the place and also interview some people there if the neighborhood is okay. So far all their comments are good. Jay-ar & I are planning to buy lots there that is why we needed to ask around about the  place. After Laguna Bel-air, we headed to Sucat to go to CrownAsia's office. My mom and dad bought a lot in Ponticelli in DaangHari and they wanted to discuss with CrownAsia the limitations and requirements if they will put perimeter fence around their lot.

And our long day did not end there. Around 6 pm, we headed to Glorietta to exchange the polo I bought in Marks & Spencer. It was really a mistake to go Makati at 6 pm, Friday and it was raining as we were caught in a heavy traffic jam. I was able to exhange the item in M&S, after all, I only bought the item the other day. It was a gift for my dad because it's his birthday tomorrow and I messed up with the size thus needed for an exchange item. So we went to M&S to change the polo size from S to M only to find out that the polo I bought the other day has already a discount if I bought it yesterday. I have paid for the whole amount when I bought it! Oh well, who says life is fair anyway! Hehehe!

After M&S, went to Seafood Seafood Market to eat dinner. I was also able to buy my sister a very cute speaker for her ipod. My dad bought a cable covering and my shoti bought a toy which took us a lot of time coz he cannot decide at first which toy to buy. Our small condo is already full of his toys and he has already almost all of the toys in the toy store yet he still wants more that is why he can't decide what toy to buy anymore.

By the time we were heading to the parking and about to go home, I had felt the pain in my feet. I can barely walk. As far as I can remember, yesterday was the most tiring day for me and I am 6 mos pregnant. I was really pushed to the limit of energy. Hehehe!

We reached home around 10 pm. All of us were sssooooo tired especially me and my dad. Me because I am pregnant and my dad coz he was the one driving. But thank God we reached our sweet home safely and we all called it a night.

I have also received a good news yesterday. Our bank loan was approved. We will use the money to acquire the lots we are planning to buy in Laguna Bel-air 3.

And that's the story of our very very tiring day. Till next!

Maligayang Kaarawan sa Lalaking Nagpapaligaya sa Akin Araw-araw!

I cannot remember the first time I saw him. I know I have been introduced to him but the picture of how it was has been already erased on my mind. It was not actually love at first sight, I never believed in that after all. Though I remember the first time I saw his smile which made me fall head over heels with him. And until now, that same smile is what makes me crazy over him.

I love him so much. Sometimes I still wonder how I let myself fall this deep. It is really unexpected. Especially for a man-hater like me. Well, not anymore. I have loved and still loving a man more than my life. I remember when I used to tell my mom that I will be forever single and I will never ever get married. Guess what? I was married twice and with the same wonderful man.

I do not believe in love at first sight but I do believe in soulmates. I know that he is my soulmate - the one that God has chosen to be with me forever. And I am very grateful to Him for choosing Jay-ar for me. He may not be perfect, nobody is, but he is the perfect one for me and he will forever be my one and only love.

To Jay-ar, Happy Happy Birthday. Thank you for all your patience, love and thoughtfulness. I know I can be out of bounds sometimes but you always put up with my tantrums and mood swings. You are an amazing person in and out and I love you to pieces. I will always always be here for you no matter what. I will care for you and love you forever and beyond.

This song is for you.

WHEN I MET YOU

There I was an empty piece of shell
I smile in my own world without even knowing
What love and life was all about

Then you came, you brought me out of the shell
You gave the world to me and before I knew
There I was so in love with you

You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I’m feeling
You gave new meaning to my life
Yes, I’ve gone beyond existing
And it all began
When I met you…

I love the touch of your hand
When i look in your eyes i just want
I know I’m on to something good

And I’m sure my love for you will endure
Your love will light up my world
And take all my fears

You taught me how to love
You showed me how tomorrow and today
My love is different from the yesterday i knew
You taught me how to love
And darling I will always cherish you
Today, tomorrow and forever

And I’m sure when evening comes around
I know we’d be making love like never before
My love who could ask for more

Belated!

Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
