Happy Birthday Dada

Ronald, I used to call him dada, he looks very serious and quiet but when he start to crack a joke oh my it's really funny, before I get pikon for all the things that he used to said to me, until one day I talked to him and cried, telling him that it hurt my feelings especially coming from someone that I loved, the next day he never teases or said hurtful things to me anymore, then late last year when we encounter something, I would say that it make us stronger as a couple, we do argue over little things but he is the type of husband who mastered the art of deadma haha, but when he know that it his fault he will be the one who will do the first move.

To my one and only dada, I really thanked God that he gave you to me as my husband, the father of my children, you've given us a great life, bringing us to places, you always make sure that we are okay and safe, you always worry for us when you travel, you've wanted to stay home and be with us instead of going out with friends or colleagues (unless you really need to attend ) you always makes me laugh before we go to sleep, hold my hand even when we're sleeping, sometimes when you see that I don't had my blanket you would put it on me (how do I know? For when I woke up in the middle of the night may blanket na ako hahaha), I loved how warm your back is, I loved everytime you hug means kiss, as you get older today I wish and pray for good health, more success, you know how much I love you and I really thank God that he gave you to me, your such a wonderful husband and father, looking forward to spend more time with you and our girls. We love you dada and again happy birthday ❤️

Birthday cards from the girls and cake

Team work

When we move to our new house, all the bedrooms had their own closet, but not like the built in closet, so before I bought plastic cabinet to put all the clothes of my girls, everytime when Erin need to get something she always asked help from her daddy cause the plastic falls down, that's where Ronald decided to buy a real drawer for our girls, Saturday we went to Ikea, we already knew what design and color to buy, so we just got the cart and got it by ourselves, Sunday, we start assembling all the part, at first I'm just watching Ronald do it, I don't want to help, why because it was too hot in the garage, but afterwards I decided to helped him, after watching Ronald do one I make do my own, then he feels tired and asked me to rest also, but I hesitate I told him if I stop now I will not be able to continue to help for I will feel lazy already, so instead of resting, I went outside and start doing it, after 2 minutes Ronald went out and starting helping, it was hard, it took us 2.5 hrs just to build the cabinet, but I loved it, making things together with him makes me realized how hard for a man to do those kind of works alone, helped us also to be very patience with each other, and to give ourselves a task like he said I need to hand him the screw so it's easier for him, things like these are rare but very memorable and fun too, for he makes a lot of jokes, lastly being able to work with Ronald as a team really helped us to become more strong, more patience and let me appreciate him more.

The cabinet we did

I'm Sorry

Today, after we DIY a drawer for the girls ( I will blog about that), we went to target, for we need to buy some food, underwear and snack. So Ronald was with the girls in the book section while I take my time to get all the things that I need, a soon as I'm done, I went to Ronald and told him that I'm ok already, so we went to the cashier, when Ronald was about to get the target card, he forgot that we left it home. (What really happened, last week Ronald went out of the country, then before he leave, he gave me some credit card to keep so that his wallet won't be so bulky, so when he came home I forgot to return all the cards to him). So Ronald asked the guy if I can apply for the card and he said yes, now when we are filling up the form, they are asking for my SSN (social security number), the problem is I only know the last four digit, I don't know the first five digit of it, and Ronald said I can't apply because I need to fill the SSN, I feel so bad, because if you had a target card, you can get a 5% off from your entire purchase, and then I asked Ronald :are you mad? And he said No,so as soon as we push the cart out going to the car, I was silent, inside the car, I told Ronald I'm so sorry that I wasn't able to help him, for I didn't know my number, and he just said it ok, we can only save $13 from the purchase but I said still that's a saving, and he just asked me where I want to eat dinner for its almost 7pm, so we went to a Chinese restaurant, while waiting for the food I just told him I will try to memorize my number.

I felt bad but at the same time happy for Ronald gave and let me feel that it's ok, there's nothing to feel bad about. I really thank God that my relationship with Ronald became so strong after what happened last year.

Happy birthday Irene

Yes, it's my sister birthday today, she's the fourth one, she is the sister whom I always asked favor to, the one who keeps all my money. I remember back in 2006 when I was pregnant with, she will come with me for check up aside from my syoti, will sometime asked me what I want to eat, she got a very longgggg patience, as much as possible hindi magagalit yan, the person who I shared all my problems, sometime cried to her too, she loves to sleep, that's why I called her sleeping beauty.

To my sister/shobe, today as you get another year older, I want to say thank you for all the favors that you did for me/us, I know your always busy but you still find time to buy all my pabili's, we may not talk that always but I really am thankful that God gave you to us as our sister, you know how much I love you, I maybe so makulit sometimes, but know that you had DICHI here that you can count on anytime (wag Lang Sa pera hahaha), always know also that my girls loves you so much that is why you have a giraffe from them (yes, shobe is still thinking of a name). Enjoy your special day, take care always.

Happy birthday to ME

Yes, today is my birthday also, Achi and I had the same birthday but different year, we're not twins hahaha, I will share to you what happened the whole day, ok before my birthday I asked Ronald is I just want him to greet me on my birthday, it's like as soon as the clock went 12am aug 2, I went to sleep early, while he still ate his snack and watch movie, then suddenly he woke me up and greet me happy birthday, gave me a tight hug and a kiss and just whisper to me just to go back to sleep, I felt so happy that very moment, morning the girls woke up very early, and as soon as they saw me they greeted me too, we plan to eat out, even if it's raining, yes it's been raining non stop for 2 days, so we asked the girls what food they want and said Thai food, we went to Thai Thani, the food there is great, so as soon as we enter, the girls told the server that it was my birthday, you see the server even the two owner of the resto knew us, everytime we go there the owner will give chocolate or kitkat to our girls, so we ordered and finished eating, our server told me they got a little surprise for me, I said no more, but it's already there, they bring out a plate of ice cream and turon with one small candle in it, the other stuff was holding some instrument like drum and I forgot what it called haha, as they start singing the happy birthday song,mall the people inside the restaurant started to sing as well, that very moment I felt so shy really hahaha but happy at the same time, after the song I thanked them, and Elle finished the ice cream and turon 😊 then we went to mall for Ronald need to had a haircut, so I bring the kids to different stores inside the mall while waiting for Ronald to finish. After that we went for Ronald need to finish something inside the house since the rain had already stopped, then said to go out eat dinner so I won't cook anymore,me ended up eating in chili's then went to grab some yogurt ice cream for the girls as their dessert, then back home.

It was truly a happy day for me, I felt so contented already with all the things I've had, our love grew more closer, and I thanked God for giving me Ronald, Elle and Erin to me, they are my life and joy, they are not perfect but I love them just who they are, so right now I'm counting down to my next birthday where I will spend it with my whole family in the Philippines and I can't wait for it.

Happy birthday Achi

Today is the birthday of our Achi, she's is very smart and very good in English, she seldom got mad at us unless sumosobra na kami. When you talk to her she really explain all the pros and cons of the situation, just in my case, she really take the time to explain to me, she is my constant chatmate in viber, the only person who really never got tired of all my messages, answering all my questions, telling me her opinion about the bag that I liked, very generous too, she will buy some small stuff for all of us when she's out of the country. A very good listener also, I'm just so thankful that God gave her to us as our Achi, she knows how to protect us.

Achi, happy happy birthday, I may not always say it but I really do love you and appreciate all the time and effort that you've shown to me, I maybe so makulit in my own way but you still make sure to answer all my messages, and I'm sorry if there are time that I've hurt your feelings, now that I'm more mature, I regret all the time/chance/opportunities before when we were still young to spend with you, (ika nga nasa huli na ang pagsisisi). I wish you all the happiness, good health and love in this world, rest assure that I'm just a viber away if you need someone to talk too. Enjoy your day, I miss you and see you soon. Take care Ats.
