The value of self sharing

I know, I know… this is weird to almost everyone, but it’s the real result of extensive damage in my life. I’m sharing it here because I see that many people are reading this blog (for example: What to do when you’re feeling empty inside) because they are hurt and struggling to make sense of it all. When a Christian blogger shares, then the reader doesn’t feel so alone, the reader gains hope that God can and does REALLY heal. It’s not just a vague hope but a reality.

change of heart

thoughts flow through my head,
as i wait to find the place where i belong,
waiting in line for a long time,
my patience slowly ebbing away;

searching for a way to find that special place for me,
that place where i can fly, the place where i feel free,
that place thats my own, the place where im totally
free is right by your side, when its just you and me;

challenges i met along the way,
embrace my life with trepidation.
but, a changed person, i am today;

suddenly the world is different,
the world is new,
the world is a place
perfect for me and you;

and suddenly everything fits,
the world seems like a perfect place,
i’m no longer alone,
and my life doesn’t seem to be such a waste;

happy birthday mate!

It’s a big problem for me when I eat too much! Its really true especially on birthdays like today. One of my officemates celebrates her 31st birthday. She bought us lechon, cake at sugar munch, ribs sabaw, sugba isda, pancit & a lot more. I ate a lot making my tummy bigger waaah! It’s fat ( baby fats?) that needs to be vanished.

Choosing a right partner

Choosing your partner is never been easy. Sometimes you wish the kind of guy you wanted for you for the rest of your life. People may come and go with your life and there’s only one is meant for you. Yes, whether you like it or not if God choose your partner then whatever hindrances may comes, He is really meant for you.

” God’s will” – this is what most of my friends say and I believe on that. God choose your partner and not you. Well, we can choose a man and what quality we wanted but in the long run God always make a way to both of you. (ITO ANG NANGYARI SA AKIN!!!)

You can’t really say no to a person if He don’t know him personally. It takes time to grow and develop.

Never think negative coz it will come…this is it. POSITIVE things always comes.

I am scaring everyone away somehow?

OK, I hope this doesn't sound too "feel sorry for me and be my 'friend' " but here's the thing. I joined about a month ago, and have put in friend requests on several people's pages...mostly people whose posts I have commented on, cause I wasn't thinking about getting 'friends' when I first started, just figured I'd go with the flow. Is there something in my profile that turns people off to me? Cause not one of the requests I put in were accepted. :( Am I being too forward?

I feel kind of stupid here...I'm not trying to get sympathy friends, just trying to figure it out. I know on Facebooke I only accept 'friends' that I actually know, is that what's going on here maybe? I figured that I would be more open to new friendships here on this site, because I'm not worried about weird-o's ya know? And being a parent is kind of like being in an elite club....

I dunno. As I said I feel stupid for writing this, I just want to know if I should be doing something differently, or if I'm offending people, or if maybe I just don't have enough experience and am not asking the right kind of people or if people don't want 'friends' they don't personally know...Ugh.

Memories

“As I look back on all that's happened..growing up, growing together, changing you, changing me -- there were times when we dreamed together, when we laughed and cried together. As I look back on those days, I realize how much I truly miss you and how much I truly love you. The past may be gone forever..and whatever the future holds, our todays make the memories of tomorrow. So, my lifetime friend, it is with all my heart that I send you my love, hoping that you'll always carry my smile with you, for all we have meant to each other and for whatever the future may hold.”

The sounds of christmas songs over the radio really makes me alive while seeing christmas lights inside our office. We are ready to prepare some other stuffs for christmas party. Actually we are booking for our trip this December for our christmas party in Manila. We were making suggestions just to make the party a joyful one even if it’s crisis hehe.

I’m very excited for this years christmas coz it’s my very first time that I celebrated x’mas with my beautiful daughter Nehya.

Again, merry merry christmas!

Summertime Fun For Babies

It’s summertime – Why should big kids get to have all the fun? Babies love the chance to get fresh air, and there’s no better time to do it than in the summertime, when there’s plenty to see and do outdoors.

Before you head outside, though, make sure your baby is properly protected from the elements. Dress him in cool breathable fabrics like cotton, along with a floppy sun hat that covers his head, face, and neck. You should plan to keep your baby out of the direct sun altogether, but if you do find yourself in the sun, keep your baby’s arms and legs covered and apply sunscreen to his hands and face. When choosing sunscreen, your best bet is one of the so-called “chemical-free” sunscreens made with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. These sunscreens sit on top of the skin rather than getting absorbed. Test the sunscreen on a very small patch of skin before slathering it on to make sure that there’s no reaction. And check with your doctor if your child has special sensitivities.


Additionally, try to use good sense about when to go outside. In general, you should avoid heading outside in the peak heat times of the day (11 am to 1 pm). Plus, if the weather is especially hot, you and your baby should both stay hydrated. Babies under six months old should drink more breastmilk or formula to replace lost fluids; beyond six months old they can drink a modest amount of water.

Once they’re all ready for the great outdoors, it’s time to have some fun:

At the Park: Even if they’re too little to enjoy the playground equipment, they will love the chance to feel some green grass in their toes. Bring a blanket and a few small toys and find a nice shady spot to sit in. Once your little one has good head and upper body control (at least five months) she will enjoy the baby swings and even the slide, if you hold on to her while she rides down.

At the Pool: Most doctors recommend that infants younger than three months old not go in a pool, and some would more conservatively say six months is the earliest age for swimming. Nevertheless, if your family goes to the pool, your infant can sit in the shade and enjoy the sound of the water splashing. By six months, most babies will love to have you carry them around in the water with you. Plus, they love to play with plastic cups and pitchers, so you don’t need to buy fancy toys. Once they’re comfortable in the water, they will enjoy kicking, splashing, pouring, and even dunking. Try to avoid using inflatable flotation devices – they create a false sense of security and are not 100 percent reliable. Additionally, make sure that the water is warm enough so that your baby does not get chilled.

At the Beach: Most babies love the beach even without getting in the water. The warm breeze, the crashing waves, the soft sand – what’s not to like? When you take your baby to the beach, make sure that you follow all of the usual precautions for the sun, and consider giving her the extra protection of a sun tent that is SPF-rated (extra bonus: it’s a great place for a nap!). Bring along some simple beach toys (shovels, cups, balls) and let your little one have a fun sensory experience in the sand or near the water’s edge. Tip: A light dusting of baby powder is great for getting off wet, sticky sand – especially when it’s time for a diaper change.

Hiking or Camping: You can probably take your baby hiking or camping as soon as you’re willing and able to do it. The main thing you’ll need is a comfortable baby carrier or backpack, and plenty of protection from the elements. Once you arrive at your destination, your baby will love the new sights and sounds. Prop her up in a baby chair so she can see all of the activity. You can use bug repellant containing DEET on babies older than two months, but you should avoid putting it on their hands because they tend to put their hands in their mouths. If you don’t want to use DEET, you can also use products containing citronella. Camping overnight is up to you and your baby’s comfort; many parents who do this bring along a portable playpen for the baby to sleep in.

In the Backyard: Who says you have to go anywhere? Most babies are just happy to be outside. Your little one will love watching and listening to whatever is going on (birds and butterflies flying around, wind chimes ringing) and he’ll have an even better time if you roll him a ball or turn on the sprinkler. Kiddie pools can be fun too, but never sit more than an arm’s length away from your baby and follow all water safety rules.

Most of all, babies just love to be with you. So whether you’re at the beach or in the backyard, your baby will love any change of scenery you can give him. And by next summer, he’s sure to be running everywhere under the sun.

christmas is coming!!!

Time is so fast… its been awhile i celebrated my big day and now its september month ( huh??) and counting the days of christmas day and new year again…oh noh!another year is coming and im praying for a blessed christmas and prosperous new year for me, my daughter, papa joch and for all of us. During these days i think Nehya will be excited eventhough that she’s only 11 months when christmas is coming. It’s time for me to save more for this incoming days coz not only my daughter wants for gifts but also my adopted children, my “inaanak”, my close relatives and some close to my hearts. But im so happy knowing that there are some china town offers affordable price lol!

This morning as i turned on my tv i saw santa claus carrying his big pouch saying HO!HO!HO!…Well, remembering those previous years of christmas, again this is the perfect time to share blessings, to get together, to relax and always to thank God for all the wonderful years He bestowed unto us and good health of course. Well, waiting this days makes me pressured!lol … even if its crisis people really busy buying gifts and other stuffs coz department stores offers discounted price to all items coz it’s time to release bonuses and other company incentives. Early December already starts a party everywhere.

Christmas is really a family time, a time to enjoy, to gather and to wait another year to come and again to start counting our “age”.

Its my time to say in advance “have a merry merry christmas and a properous Newyear to all of us!
