Yeah, hindi man nila ako kasama sa pasko ngaun pero magkakasama sama pa din naman kami sa susunod... Ang pagiging ofw ay hindi biro, me mga sinuswerte tulad ko at meron din namang minamalas... Pero iisa lang ang sandata ng lahat DASAL kasi walang imposible sa KANYA tumawag ka lang at ibibigay nya seo ang bawat hiling mo... hindi man sa ngayon pero sa tamang panahon... Napakasarap isipin na lahat naibibigay mo ang lahat ng gusto ng pamilya mo... magandang buhay, magandang kinabukasan... yun naman ang dapat eh, di ba? Ako kasi praktikal akong tao ayaw kong mag hirap o makitang nahihirapan ang pamilya ko lalo na ang anak ko... totoo nga na pag naging isang ina ka na una mo ng iisipin ang kapakanan ng anak mo kesa sa sarili mo... Mahalaga ang aking pamilya sila ang inuuna ko bago ang iba... Nag papasalamat ako na naintindihan nila na sa ngayon wala ako sa tabi nila... Kaya salamat sa makabagong teknolohiya kasi kahit malayo pinag lalapit din kami sa pamamagitan ng video chat... Napupun...

It's been a while since my last blog... anyway's been busy for helping out other department coz they are lack of manpower... It's been tough and very challenging year for our hotel this year due to rebranding process... But, thats the only part of being a Hotelier... Ok, going back to my Title... The saddest part of being an ofw is spending special occasions like Christmas "Alone"... This is my 2nd solo Christmas here in abroad... and it really break my heart... I'm only good in pretending that I am ok... that I am strong... but, deep inside my heart it feels that it tearing a part especially when my son always say that, 'mommy please come back home on christmas'... And yes, this is my 13th year na hindi nag christmas sa pinas... sabi nila ibang iba ang pasko satin, oo totoo iba talaga mas masaya... Hindi ko alam bakit sa tagal tagal na hindi ako nagpapasko satin, ngaun lang ako tinablan ng homesick... ngaun lang ako nalungkot ng sobra... Oo nga...

"The distance is nothing; it is only the first step that is difficult.” Madame Marie du Deffand “What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe “Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.” Earl Nightingale Maybe the most common issue people have with personal development and making a positive change is that it stays a daydream. That they get excited and inspired. But then as those positive emotions fade nothing really happens. Life continues as usual. Your health, finances oryour relationship with yourself stays the same. It’s very frustrating. I know. I used to read about personal development in pretty much all important areas of life. But it probably took me months or years to get going with making any of those positive changes. Why? It was uncomfortable. Making the changes felt so big that is was easier to just kept dreaming about it as frustration built up w...

For the past few days, I was bothered about this “Conio/Conyo” thing. Practically because someone said “Oh, yung mga CONIO jan...” and it felt like that person talks about us (that time I was with my friends and we were wearing something formal coz’ we went at a cocktail party) and then I asked one of my friends (whom I was with) what does conio means? She told me “Di ko din alam eh.” So time passed by, I forgot about it, until something happened and someone told me that I belong. Belong to what? To these kind of people. So I said “Seriously?” I don’t know, but whenever I hear it... it sounds like something negative. So, I got curious about it. At first, I don't even know what it means? Someone told me that conio people are those who speaks taglish (basically) meaning mixing up tagalog and english words, another fact about conios would be... people wearing something decent at the same time classy. And so... coz’ of it I did a little research and here are some posts (forums) t...

magic. “Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” – Roald Dahl The first Friday of every month here in Cotai, you can go to this event called Creative Mornings. It’s a monthly gathering of the creative folk to network, drink coffee, get inspired and listen in on what other creative people are doing. It’s free and I think it’s awesome. I’m always shocked that I don’t know more people there. I consider myself pretty plugged into the community and my circles of friends range wide from architects to strength trainers. Someone has to be going to these things with me right?! But yet, they don’t… so it’s almost like my little-secret-inspirational-evening-event. And that’s ok with me. But the real reason for this blog post, is because today’s theme was about MAGIC. I LOVE MAGIC. I read fantasy novels, I dress up like kinda Harry Potter 'female...

Dear My beloved hubby, My han the love of my life and the father of my son 'Mateo'... From the day that our love began, we started to have common goals we have achieved with our effort and dedication. Beside you I have learned so much about life and have experienced many difficulties but we have always been able to get ahead. We also live the beautiful moments when our son came into this world, it was not easy to adapt to the life of parents but we learned and now we are a happy family where love reigns. I’m so glad to be your wife and have a wonderful family that is our biggest motivation to improve every day with hard work and dedication... Thanks for being a wonderful father to our son, for your love and give good example to him. I love you forever until the next eternal life... Love lots, Ur hani

Dear Hani, Happy 12 years Anniversary my han (soon to be 15 years together), I’m reminded of the vows we took so many years ago.  Our lives were simpler then, but while it’s much more interesting now – it’s comforting to know that the last 12 years I have grown as a woman, a wife and mother with you.  We have never had a dull moment and sometimes we don’t get to rest as much as we would like, but the challenges we’ve had are a great reminder of how far we have come and a celebration of our journey together. As I write this letter, I can’t help but think where my life would be if we had made a different choice 15 years ago.  Our situations would be different, our lives on various paths.  It’s hard to fathom and I realize that while I may ponder the thought, my life without you would never be the same… and it was God’s choice that our paths would cross and bringing us to this point in time.  Everything happens for a reason, and God’s reason was that we were to...
