a mom`s emotion...


such a fast life we have!! Lo and behold we`re again at the end of another month, and i felt i have accomplished very little. Heaps of task still needs to be done. This week the sister who does my laundry is sick and her only son who gives me a hand around the house and church have to go home and care for her. Salamat na lang andito si teting para tumulong, but still the house is quiet. He`ll have to go back to school next week and i could just see i would have a more quieter sorrounding and an almost empty house...... it gives me the nuts...

We are still in the preparations over dave`s wedding. I made several trips to divisoria for reasons you all know why, lol. I hope the invitation cards would be completed and be sent away soon to people before december steps in. That month will be a very busy month and people`s activities are focus on the holidays. Some of dave and jhoy`s friends who are abroad are planning to come and attend the wedding and if the thing would reach them on time, they could have ample time in preparing... you know, ticket reservations, schedules, etc.

as a mom i am in a dazed. I dont know if its about the short period of time to prepare for the wedding or my soon coming empty nest with my eldest son, Dave. I am very sure that Jhoy will be a wonderful partner for him, to care, be a suitable helpmeet in his ministry. I could see how supportive she is to him and imagined them with bright future together, i am pre-grieving the departure already. Most days are good but i do get washed over with emotions and memories and i wonder why i had to give up my kids to be adults. I can`t help looking back on their childhood with great fondness and wish they will remain with me forever.... (such selfish thoughts...... but moms could be unreasonable sometimes, hehehe). Can you blame me?

To be honest, there`s sadness everytime i wake up knowing my second child will also soon follow his "kuya" and would have a life of his own outside my nest..... well, i still have "bunso" with me ( long way to go) and hubby - its not that lonely as i thought it will be...

For now, i thank God for always showing me the sunshine on my rainy days. I will continue to count my blessings. Glory to His Name.... He is so, so good!

over the week..



finally my visits to the dentist is completed this week. I managed to get my teeth worked on.
I am ready for my new dentures and the new set of porcelain crowns in my mouth. I couldn`t wait to try it on this coming Monday.....once more i could participate in the singing with my heart`s content with my beloved praise team. Yes, singing to worship the One who all praise is due..

Bro. Victor was again admitted into the hospital because of complications. I can`t believe that a simple cough could give him the hardest time at this moment of his life. I realized that while he has his radiation therapy and chemo sessions treatment going on, his immune system is just so low and weak it can`t fight even the simplest of bacteria for him. He was in an isolation room when we came to visit him yesterday. We were with our mask on and as we pass through the hallway leading to his room, i noticed a sign that says, "no visitors allowed".. but we continued walking on as there was no one on duty to drive us away.. :) When we entered his room my heart simply goes out to him, can`t fight back the tears from flowing. I don`t like seeing him this way. My heart silently prayed that God would soon deliver him from this sickness and extend a soonest possible recovery.....

well...... iba na nga pag-usapan natin!!....... i would like to change the mood into a lighter one.

I started an exercise sessions with our ladies department members. It is real fun. Sweating it out really makes us feel good. I have set my mind in making this thing a habit...Ang sarap sa pakiramdam! Thanks to Sis. Baby Ongka who serves as our instructress... I really enjoyed each session.

This week is verniel`s final exams and final week for this semester. Nice having him in the house for the coming days before school starts again in November..

well, dave gave us the greatest surprise of our lives this week. An announcement that he would soon tie the knot with jhoy this coming december. All preparations would only take place in two months... I felt cold sweats on my forehead....... thinking could we do all in such a very short time, and the finances.......is one big question mark? But I would like to believe God has many great things instore, and it is for us to CLAIM!

tell you more in the coming days.... I am excited over dave finally deciding to marry...He`s not getting any younger and is full of plans concerning the future and his ministry.

mumblings!

hayy naku,

its hard to start...

Ang bilis naman......October na p0h! its first day of this month today and a holiday! I wish i had spend the day on long drives with hubby, just driving to nowhere, a thing i most love doing. kaya lang imposible ngaun... may BAGYO daw, at may mga "infirmities" si victory...lol.

you know i should really start on my diet plans....SOON!!
should have a long time ago. My blood pressure is on the danger zone na naman...
Napahilig ko kasi sa kanin, everything counted "sugar" are just so mouth watering...
kanin, pansit, spaghetti, bake macaroni, macaroni salad, macaroni soup, pansit canton, palabok, etc, etc......hehehe....the list goes on and on.. How to reject them? it`s so hard to do...

Ngayong linggo na t0h ay schedule ko ng pagpapabunot ng mga ngipin, para mapalitan na ng artificials, lol, tapos na sana kaya lang laging "postponed" dahil sa blood pressure na mataas...
This thing called "diet" is easier said than done. It is always hard, harder, hardest to start.. So help me God!

plenty of rains this week.....the frogs keeps on croaking and seems louder everytime. My ears are getting use to it. The typhoons that we counted 18 to come by this year is now down to 5 more and that`s according to the news we heard and read..
Starting November is already cold but dry season......hopefully until February next year.
So much things to look forward to...and this gets me excited. I know God has many things in store. We just have to remain expectant for what He could and will be able to do..

I want this post to just be very very brief.....so, see you guys around...
