Welcome 2013
Welcome...
I have absolutely no regrets. I've save much shampoo & conditioner. My hair now dries in few minutes and I can style it in just few strokes of a brush and of course hair fall reduced.
So happy to think how much time I've saved getting ready for work or any event that I'm going to attend… really no regrets about what I've done.
Some say men love women with long hair, for young ones yes, but for my age it doesn't matter and I don't care anymore, what is important I love me more and I have to take care of myself too.
Anything I do with joy will not run me down but build me up & refresh me. It's New Year again so I must have a new look too. And I've regained the confidence I once had.
Again, Happy New year everyone, best wishes for your health, wealth, happiness, success, and peace of mind.
Since yesterday, I can't send my greetings, our Internet connection's "super, dooper, mega" slow.
It took many hours to open, to upload and send.
Actually I'm just sharing my simple cake but photo's so bad, no flash, he he.
And aside from my new Hello Kitty bonnet that was given to me just yesterday by Stephannie, you can't see clearly my hair. Well it just about my hair, yes, my hair was cut short again. For 3 long years I let my hair grow but now I'm done with my long hair style.

How about you? Have you done something new too?

Happy mothers day!!!
Actually I'm a day late to greet here, but still I wanted to ...
Happy Mother's Day to every woman who shares the maternal energies that help to shape the lives of those she loves.
Mothers should be honored not only today but every day, believing that she is the ultimate symbol of family harmony and unity. Pray for all mothers that she will be bless more with health, healing, virtue, happiness and power to carry on all difficulties of life.
And being a mother I want to share this to you, that I know all mothers prayed too:
My Children
Author Unknown
As my children were born,
I wanted them to be perfect.
(See my Mycah @ 1 wk.old she knows how to smile and focus on camera already)When they were babies,
I wanted them to smile
and be content playing with their toys.
I wanted them to be happy
and to laugh continually instead of crying
and being demanding.
I wanted them to see the beautiful side of life.
As they grew older,
I wanted them to be giving instead of selfish.
I wanted them to skip the terrible twos.
I wanted them to stay innocent forever.
As they became teenagers,
I wanted them to be obedient
and not rebellious, mannerly and not mouthy.
I wanted them to be full of love,
gentle and kind-hearted.
"Oh, God, give me a children like this"
was often my prayer.
And He did.

Welcome 2011
Before Christmas came, my Steph and Denmark got sick due of changing climate every day. Came next my youngest Mycah. But thanks God they’re all well now. And still we attended several parties these past Holidays.
(See my Mycah got new T. bears again from her friends during their Christmas
Got time too to prepare our own Christmas celebration. Went shopping gifts and foods for our festive Noche Buena.
My sisters and Brothers came with their own families starting Dec.24.Reunion time. The house again was so messy. So many scattered shoes and slippers down stairs and at the door step. So many dishes to be washed on the sink. Toilet was so smelly and always wet 'coz children played even there.
So noisy and crowded that in one corner some were singing with loud Karaoke, in one corner men drinking alcohol and have fun of their own. The women were chatting in one corner too including me. While children were so busy too playing with their new received toys likeBarbie, remote control cars and music playing toys or toys with loud sounds.
My son who doesn't like noise, patiently played with his cousins, shared his collection of transformer robots and other toys and PSP and play station 3.
Some of my nieces that got new Barbie dolls, still asked for my collection too, so again my collection was deducted about 9 dolls now. :(
Looking at them, I found so many changes. Some come thinner; some come stouter and grows bigger. The children came "tween or tweens" (in between 9 to 12 yrs of age), the “tweens” come teenagers. Voices changed too.
Signs of aging can be seen to my brothers and sisters too, like the appearance of silver hairs and slowly balding.wearing of Eye and reading glasses. The invading of melasma on the skin and wrinkles of course. Boys got bigger bellies and girls got bigger hips too ha ha ha,but I thank God that still we're all healthy.
And other members of the Family were added. My youngest brother got married just this last Dec. 6 at the age of 29. And came new babies from my nephews and sister in law. One of my sister got pregnant again (her 4th, but sad to say her eldest died after birth).
We have almost 50 nephews and nieces and 3 grand child already :)
Others stayed in my house for 3 days while others that lived nearby went home but the following day came back to continue our chatting and fun, he he he
At night during sleeping time everybody spread their mats and comforters and slept everywhere. Every room was occupied, in the living room, dining room and even in the kitchen under the table, and in the terrace. My brothers in law slept inside their cars, worrying that their cars might be stolen too.
After the 3rd day they're all gone home. My house again was so quiet.
I was so tired and exhausted but I was so happy too that once again we're all reunited and have a big, big fun celebrating the birth of Christ.
I rested for while but again did general cleaning of the house and prepared for the coming of New Year. Went shopping again for our “Media Noche" (New Year midnight meal).
Bought lots of fruits. It's a tradition to have lots of fruits on the table during New Year celebration ( at least 12 kinds of fruits).And I really enjoyed buying fresh fruits you know.
Before New Year came, outside (our house was just along the busy street) it's so traffic. Everybody was so busy shopping. All malls, super market and wet market were so crowded. Even along the road, you can see vendors selling different foods, fruits, fire crackers and trumpets of different styles and sizes, and even lucky charms for the houses and accessories.
New Year came, of course early morning we went to church to thank God for all the blessings.
Epiphany time came too. To other countries, I learned that it's their second Christmas celebration and it's their time of gift giving, following the “Three Kings” that gave gifts to Christ.
After the 3 kings day ( Jan. 6), it's my time again to change my home decor. My Christmas decor and my Santas will sleep again for another 10 months in their boxes. Again it will take me several days to finish cleaning and packing them safely.
Ooooopps.... I missed my blog; I’ve written so long already, I have to stop here. He he he he.
Bye....

Three Kings
Christmas season traditionally ends on this day, Jan 6 here in the Philippines. We called it "Tatlong Hari", in English as "Three Kings" or Epiphany Day. Also known as El Dia de Los Reyes (Feliz Dia de Los Reyes!), a holy day for Eastern Christian and Western Christian churches.
The 3 Kings were known as Melchior, Gaspar and Baltazar who brought gold, frankincense and myrrh as a gift to the new baby born Jesus.
Gold was the gift given by Melchior, a king of Arabia. He is said to have been the oldest of the Three Kings. The spiritual meaning of gold is as a symbol of kingship on earth or symbolizing virtue.Frankincense was the gift given by Balthazar, a king from Saba - present day southern Yemen. Frankincense is resin from the dried sap of the Boswellia tree – a tree that has grown on the craggy slopes of the Arabian Sea for thousand of years.
Frankincense (an incense) was given as a symbol of priestship, or prayer.
In ancient times, Frankincense and Gold were equally valuable.
Myrrh- The gift given by Gaspar, a king from Tarsus – present day Southern Turkey. Myrrh is resin from the Commiphora tree and is harvested by cutting slits in the bark of the tree from which Myrrh resin hardens into dark red crystals.
Myrrh (an embalming oil) symbolizing suffering or death.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+2%3A1-12&version=NIV
Filipino children leave their shoes out, so that the Kings would leave behind gifts like candy or money inside.
But most people on this day just simply greet one another with the phrase
"Happy Three Kings!"
In some places, there is the practice of having three men, dressed as the Tatlong Hari, riding around on horseback and distributes candy to the children.

Welcome 2010
New Year will never be New Year without the fireworks.The louder the fireworks are, the better.
Before and after the count down the house should be well-lighted to invite good luck in every corner of the house. All windows must be open to allow good spirits enter the house.
As New Year comes, the whole family should make any kind of noise like blowing horns and trumpets, banging some still utensils, pots and pans (my pans now are not in good form anymore :( ) or anything that could make a sound while going around the house to prevent bad luck from coming in and to drive it away.
And of course the highlight of New Year are the abundant foods. There's 12 kinds of round-shape fruits for good luck, egg and noodles for long life, glutinous rice for luck to stick around and family always together and fish to avoid scarcity.
And chicken is not serve because it signifies hunger and scarcity.
After the fireworks and making noise, me and my kids started to eat . I eat a lot and I'm showing you what was it he he he.
I prepared 3 kinds of pasta because my Stephannie wants a Carbonara and my Mycah wants the Spaghetti and I want the Macaroni salad too, because I can stock it in my fridge.
