Happy Birthday Ma

Proverbs 31:28  "Her children arise up and called her blessed."

Mother strengthens you with HOPE encourages you with PRAYER blesses you with LOVE.

I'm sorry this is a very late post for my mom's birthday, she turned another year older last sept 18. it's been 8 years since I moved here that I wasn't able to celebrate her birthday with her. My mom is a super mom, she do all the things for us, washing the clothes, ironing, cleaning the house, cooking etc..

Hello Ma, I hope that someday that you can read this, thank you for all the things you've done for all of us, I know it's not easy, we went through tough times before and we don't see you complain. I know that even when your body is too tired already from all the chores but you still make it, now that I'm a mom myself, I know how hard life is without a helper, doing everything for our family, I may not be the perfect daughter, I may hurt your feelings before and even to the point of not listening to you, I'm so sorry for that. I may not be there for years but I always make sure that I talk to you thru facetime. I also know that there are things deep inside you is hurting, just let it out for I will always be here to just listen, I may not be there to be able to wipe your tears when you cry, but know that seeing you cry makes me cry too, when I see you laugh or happy, know that I'm more happy. I thank you also for being there for me, for the times that when I just want to cry, you just let me and after told me what to do, things like these are so precious to me, for I longed to be with you and the rest of the families.

As you turned another year older, I just wish and pray that God will continue to guide and keep you healthy always, I maybe on the other side of the world, but I will never ever stop calling you everyday even it's time for your teleserye :)

Ma, Happy happy birthday, I love and miss you so much.

Eye Care

Philippians 2:2 - "complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind."

Last month I make an appointment for my eyes, for lately I've been experiencing a headache which I never experienced before. since I can't drive because the doctor will put an eye drop in my eyes to make it blurred, I called Ronald and asked him when he is available for I need him to be my driver, he just told me that I just set an appointment and let him know when and what time, so I did and the only available slot is September 14,2015 at 9:15am, I told him and he said he was ok with it.

Yesterday, after we dropped our girls off to school, we went somewhere since it's still early, we bought some snack for the girls and then we went to the clinic, you see even you have an appointment time, the waiting is still long which I don't know why, anyway, while waiting for my turn, I looked at some of the eye glasses, and then sit beside Ronald, there I told him its ok for him to wait there while I'm doing my check, you see most of my check up he's not there for me for he needs to looked after the girls, it's sad for course, I wish that he can be there for me right, so my name was called and I stood up and went to the room and then I just noticed he was following me, oh boy deep inside me I was just super happy it's the first time ever that Ronald was beside me for a check up, word can't express how happy I am that very moment, so the doctor asked me to read the letters and numbers, after put an eye drop on my both eyes, my eyes can not shine in the sun so since I don't had any sun glasses, the doctor gave me a black thing to just put it inside my eyeglass for protection, so Ronald asked you don't have sunglasses I said none, but I think I need one hahaha, after that I need to wait for few minutes so the doctor can check the inside of my eyes, I know its very high tech, so my name was called again, and asked me to put my chin on that thing, after he showed us in the computer the inside of my eyes, thank God that my eyes are healthy.

I know it's hard without any family member beside us, sometime I wish we are on the other side of the world where all my families are there, where I can asked them to go with me if I need to go check up, accompany me or be just there for me. It's hard also to depend to Ronald always for he needs to work but I can see and felt  that he make sure he's there for me, he will make time to be with me and that's what all matters.

Precious Watch

1 Thessalonians 5:18 - "Be thankful in all circumstances."

Last night while Ronald and I were in bed, I suddenly remember something and stood up went to my closet and reach for a bag, inside I looked for that thing and saw it. What is that thing that I suddenly remembered? It's a watch, yes a watch that is so precious to me until now, why? Year 2003 I forgot the day and month but one time when Ronald and I are just boyfriend-girlfriend, he went to our house, and when I open the gate, he was holding a box and gave it to me, I was surprised that very moment, when I opened it, I saw a watch. That time both of us are just working, his salary was only P12k, he was the kind of man that is not very generous, not sweet, he also told me that I won't be receiving any flowers from him, that's how he is, so receiving something from him is like WOW REALLY 😂😂 when I asked him what's the occasion he just said nothing I just want to give you, I was really super happy that very moment in my life. So last night I showed it to him the watch and he still remember it, I told him how PRECIOUS it was to me, and he asked me why, I said because you gave me a gift that I did not asked for, you just gave it, the thought of it, imagine that time our salary was just how much so it's really a big deal for me, and he said but I still give you, I said yes you still give me things that I asked for, that's different. That's why before I go to sleep I asked him when will he give me something like that again? Don't get me wrong, I'm not into material things, I'm very contented with my life right now, God already gave us 2 wonderful girls, I got a very supportive family in the Philippines and friends. So I went to sleep with a BIG smile in my face because I'm so thankful that I got Ronald in my life.
The watch Ronald gave to me year 2003

Pretty

1 Samuel 16:7 - "For the Lord see not as man sees; man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart."

This morning, as I'm preparing Erin for her school she just told me, mommy you look pretty but even prettier when you put lipsticks, and I replied to her and said thank you and explain to her that God made everybody pretty, but God really look what kind of heart we got.

Before I used to envy people who are so pretty, that a lot of boys are courting them, but now as I grow older and more mature, I realized that our outward appearance is not really important, for one day when we get old our skin will change, but our heart, our attitude and character that will never change even when we get old. Right now what is important to me is I want to look pretty in the eyes of God.
