The Little Things

As you might know, the head of a company survived 9/11 because his son started kindergarten.

Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts.

One woman was late because her alarm clock didn't go off in time.

One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike because of an auto accident.

One of them missed his bus.

One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change.

One's car wouldn't start.

One went back to answer the telephone.

One had a child that dawdled and didn't get ready as soon as he should have.

One couldn't get a taxi.

The one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore ! to buy a Band-Aid.

That is why he is alive today.

Now when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone...all the little things that annoy me.

I think to myself, this is exactly where God wants me to be at this very moment..

Next time your morning seems to be going wrong, the children are slow getting dressed, you can't seem to find the car keys, you hit every traffic light, don't get mad or frustrated;

God is at work watching over you.

May God continue to bless you with all those annoying little things and may you remember their possible purpose.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

my day...

this small purple hearts bracelet rosary is what i received from my husband last Sunday..

my day started with a kiss on my forehead.. i thought i was still dreaming (i was actually dreaming about LOST's Matthew Fox blindfolding me! gasp!) .. and when i opened my eyes, i saw a pair of cute little hands cupping my round face.. it was Kyle. he said Hello Mommy and then hugged me..

my other little tot, Kian, (who's growing more and more manly this days with his new haircut) also kissed me on my left cheek but did not utter a word. he immediately took off so i was left with Kyle. a few mintes later, Hubby announced "It is Mother's Day today" and that I shouldn't do any house chores. of course, i grinned from ear to ear upon hearing this, pero di naman ako nagpahalata na excited ako, haha!

Hubby did the cleaning of the house (with the aid of our househelp)and also did the cooking for our lunch - sinigang - our favorite.. my two cutie pies, as usual, did their round of bouts and squeals.. while i, the lady of the house, busied myself pasting photos and cut-outs on our family scrapbook.. from time to time, my fingers pushed the of buttons on my cellphone's keypad to answer the numerous Mother's Day greetings and text messages.

when Kyle and Kian got tired of playing and shouting and eating and laughing and running, they reached for their bottles of milk, relaxed on their respective cribs and slept soundly.. Hubby & i took advantage of the time that we were alone and managed to take a rest too..

it was 2pm when all of us woke up and Hubby told me to change (clothes) and groom the kids because we're going to the mall.. yipeee! in less than an hour, we spent the rest of the afternoon playing "Shoot That Ball", racing with the Pokemons, punching the Street-Fighters and riding the elephants at World of Fun.. the Token girl was so sweet, she gave me a beautiful Mother's Day greeting card and two free tokens (it's part of their promo, buy 6 get 2 free tokens)..

after two tiring hours, we did our weekly grocery routine and finally ate at McDonalds.. it was already past 7pm when all of us got home and relaxed. but before going to bed, Hubby ended the day with a kiss and then he gave me a small box containing this beautiful bracelet.. he said it would always remind me of him and the One above who is forever in our midst..

and that's what happened during my special day.. thanks a lot Honey.. mwah! iloveyoumuch!

summer plans = summer fun!

i'll be having another week-long vacation next week! yipee!!

my family and i will be going back to Pangasinan for our annual fiesta- slash -family reunion- slash - beach party...

see this majestic image of the beach and the resort just beside the ocean? that's where we're going "AGAIN".. in Covelandia Du Labrador, Pangasinan..and if we'll have more time, maybe we can strut our way to 100 Islands!!

yipeee! now that's something to look forward to!

i was soooo happy when my AVP, Marco finally said OK to my offset and leave requests. even if it means that i will be working on Saturday next week (May 3), thats no dice for me. as long as im gonna spend a week with my family (beach hopping, house visits, fishing, lots of eating!), that's all that matters to me.

and oh! i will be reuniting with my friends again this Saturday at donnel's place during their brgy fiesta! im soooo thrilled!

lastly, my hubby has hatched plans for a Subic escapade next month! i cant wait to be there!!! Honey, let's talk about that plan later so we can make it real, shall we? *winks! winks!*

loving you

The love you give, is the love i receive, and i intend to fully cherish, everything and every word you have said...

Mere words could never tell how much i care and cherish you...'Tis something that makes me sane everyday.. let me just then say... I LOVE YOU, every single day..

the reason

this is the song that my honey sang when he serenaded me. he even recorded this song on his cellphone and sent it to me the day before he and his bandmates played in our company's anniversary..

i finally heard this song being played again on the radio last Sunday, same day when my honey and i had an argument..

this is the perfect song for you honey.. i love you..

i'm not a perfect person
there's many things i wish i didn't do
but i continue learning
i never meant to do those things to you
and so i have to say before i go
that i just want you to know

i've found the reason for me
to change who i used to be
a reason to start over new
and the reason is you

i'm sorry that i hurt you
it's something i must live with everyday
and all the pain i put you through
i wish that i could take it all the way
and be the one who catches all your tears
that's why i need you to hear

i've found the reason for me
to change who i used to be
a reason to start over new
and the reason is you

and the reason is you
and the reason is you
and the reason is you

i'm not a perfect person
i never meant to do those thing to you
and so i have to say before i go
that's i just want you to know

i've found the reason for me
to change who i used to be
a reason to start over new
and the reason is you

i've found the reason to show
a side of me you didn't know
a reason for all that i do
and the reason is you

thank you honey...

Thank you for being patient with my difficult moods..

i appreciate so much how you're able to put up with my emotions..i try so hard, but sometimes, my moods get the best of me.. i get sad... and sometimes, i get angry because i think you should understand and comfort me..

yet i know you can't understand when i shut you out.. you can't comfort me because i refuse to let you..

sometimes, i feel like crying for no reason at all.. i realize that's hard to understand.. but it's my way of letting go of all the anger, hurt and frustraion that's building inside me.

i let things around me influence the way i act.. i let the past in and my feeling from there get tangled up with my present feeling ... i guess this has to happen sometimes and i know it hurts you.. but it's a part of growing, learning and living...

thank you for understanding when i'm quiet and when i am obtrusive.. thank you for being patient when you're frustrated with me.. thank you for calming down when i am already flared up.. thank you for all that you are and for being my lifetime partner..

without you, my life is definitely incomplete.. i love you honey... thank you!
