Today is our first New Year here in the house. We have a company last night, Jasmine my friend's daughter was with us to celebrate New Year with us. My husband cooked kimbap ( a korean sushi) and I made filipino style fruit salad, so we have something to eat when the clock hit the 12MN to welcome the year 2009.

I hope everyone was having a great time welcoming the New Year of the Ox. Happy New Year everyone and hope all your wishes may come true this year.
My husband just turned 27 years old yesterday. Our birthdays are just 3 days apart. So yesterday, we cook a little bit here in the house just for the two of us. Originally, I planned to treat him to Chili's or Red Lobster on his birthday coz I knew that he loves to eat those two restaurants that I've mentioned. But he don't want to drive all the way to Bartlesville just to eat, so we decided to stay at home and I just marinated a ribeye steak for him to grill and baked sweet potatoes. Plus, he just wanted to rest and watch football on his birthday so I think it was a good idea just to stayed at home then. I gave him a full body massage mat with soothing heat as his birthday present from me. I'm glad he likes it.
Now, we're looking forward for Thanksgiving & Christmas Day.
Today November 20 is my birthday. I woke up very early today around 4:30 AM. First thing I did is went to the bathroom. Bathroom is the room in the house that I visited first every morning. I was about to wash my face when I saw a card in front of me, right below the mirror. It was from my husband, the bday card is funny...it made me laugh. Then I went to work. Nowa and David ( my close friends from work) arrived and they got a present for me. They gave me a wall planter. It was beautiful. I have another decoration for my wall now. Later that day, I was surprised that my co-workers gathered together and they sang " Happy Birthday" to me. I was touched, plus my boss's wife made a cookie cake for me. So nice of her to make an effort to decorate the cookie cake. I appreciated their thoughtfulness. When I got home from work, I checked our mailbox and ohhh I got another birthday cards. One came from my in-laws and the other one came from Granny Betty. Again, those cards touched me. When hubby got home from work, we went to my favorite Chinese restaurant to eat.
It was just a simple birthday celebration but it touched my heart so much. Now, I'll take this opportunity to thank the people who have touched my life today.
Thank you my beloved husband for the love and understanding. Thank you David and Nowa for being nice and for the friendship. Thank you Ms. Brenda for the cookie cake. Thanks also to my co-workers for singing "Happy Birthday". Thanks to my in-laws and Grandma for the bday card. Thanks to some of my friends on friendster for the birthday greetings. Thanks to my family for the love and care. Most of all, thanks to my mother for this day. ..without her I won't have a reason to celebrate this day. Thank you Mama for bringing me in this wonderful world. It maybe too late to thank you now coz you're no longer around but I will make sure that my life is worth living as my way of saying " thanks to you".
Fourteen days from now is my birthday. November 20 is the date my Mother showed me the beautiful world. I will be 25 years old soon. Hitting the quartet of the century. I am getting older every year. Should I be happy knowing that I'm getting older? Hmnnnn, age is just a number, so of course I am happy. I am thankful enough that God gave me another year to live and hopefully there will be more years to come. I will be 25 yet people think I'm still on my teenage years. It flattered me when they say I look younger than my age....maybe because I'm short huh? Well, I guess being short have advantages too. Alright...just wanna say, don't forget my present lol.
Today, July 14, 2008 is our 3rd wedding anniversary.
It's been three years that hubby and I are married and we are here, still alive and kicking lol. We still have this lil fight every once in a while but we are okay. We are happy and contented in our lives.
Supposedly, we're going to Springfield for our anniversary and spend like maybe 2 nights there but since I got a new job, we postponed our plan. Well, anyway, there are still more anniversaries to come. Hopefully, next year we can go to Springfield and visit the Pro-Bass store and I hope, next year I will have a baby, joke! (Joke lang isa ky di pa kaya sa budget.)
"A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie." - motherhood quotes
The picture above is my Mama. The woman who has given me a chance to see how beautiful is the world.
Words are not enough to describe how wonderful is my mother. I am very very much thankful to her for her unconditional love and care. She tried her best to sent me and siblings to school. She tried different things just to earned money, she cooked different kinds of dessert and sell it to the neighborhood so that we can have some money as allowance when we went to school. I've seen all of her sacrifices just for her kids. For me, SHE is the world's greatest MOTHER!
Mama, I love you! Mama, I miss you!
Mama, I've seen so many times how you hold backed your tears when trials came our way. You acted bravely, every time our family has a problem. You may not shed tears in front of your kids but I know and my brothers and sisters knew that deep inside of your heart, you are crying...
Thank you Mama, for the everything you've done for us. Thank you for being such a wonderful mother to us. You taught us so many lessons in life. My siblings and I grown up this way because of you Mama....
And before I ended this post. I wanted you to watch this video below, it is a song titled "A song for Mama" by boyz II men. It is a nice song, I promised!
Mothers are an ongoing gift to the world from God, and this has included my own Mother. May God Bless the Mothers of this world! Happy Mother's Day!
On the 24th and 25th of this month will be the fiesta in the town where I grew up. I really can't forget this fiesta coz the last fiesta there was very memorable to me. It is when I got reunited with my childhood friends and high school classmates. I really enjoyed myself and got a chance to hear from my old friends as well.
The last time I was able to celebrate the fiesta there was April 2006. It was also a so-called reunion for me and for my old friends whom I never forget. I got drunk that time and so are my friends.
I missed one fiesta already and that was the fiesta 2007 and this coming Thursday and Friday will be 2nd time I'm gonna miss it. I miss a lot of things that I used to do in philippines not just only the fiesta but I miss my family and friends as well. I miss the disco and the inuman. I miss the perya sad. Sugarol jud kaayo ko'g dagway, saon nalang. And I should not forgot the ferriz wheel also..sikat jud kaayo ng ferriz wheel basta naay fiesta.
Haaaayyyy....I'm sure my family and friends are enjoying there now while "AKO", kayod to the max jud ko diri. How I wish I can celebrate the fiesta with them.
