Nanay Wonders

 I was asked by Teacher J to decorate for their trick or treat. Happy with the finish product but Argus was not able to join the following day due to fever. di bale may next year pa naman anak 😏 Thank you Pinterest for the ideas and patterns.  The kids made these monsters

I saw some parent friends in Facebook went to the Avilon Zoo and their kids had fun. Luckily i was able to get a discount voucher last March in Metrodeal, regular ticket price is P500 but we got it online for P259. Last weekend, our little family decided to use the ticket and visit the zoo. It's just located near Tiendesitas in Pasig and upon approaching the ticket booth i showed my voucher and to my dismay it's already expired last March 30 so we need to purchase the ticket with the original price. Kala ko nakatipid ako pero hinde! i'm old na talaga 😞 So sige na, bumiyahe naman na kami ni Argus so let's make the most out it na!

 It was Saturday afternoon, we are in the bedroom and Harry Potter was playing on the tv. You were busy playing with your toys on the floor while i was standing checking my phone. Then all of sudden you stood up, pulled my hands and said "Nanay, dance!" and we hold hands. I looked at the tv and saw that Yule ball was playing and you copied it. I know it was an innocent gesture for you, imitating what you see on the tube. But for me, it means a lot. For almost five minutes we swayed holding hands, slowly twirling you around while you giggle. Our rythmn might not be that good, but it was to me. My heart melts when you reached out for my hands and asked for a dance, my heart burst with so much love for you because i know at that moment that you will be a loving man someday and ache at the same time, wishing i can do this for you everyday, that whenever you need me i am there. But Nanay needs to leave everyday for work. I pray that you continue to grow up as...

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Dear Ocean, Thank you for making us feel tiny, humble, inspired and salty... all at once. February 2, 2018

To My Dear Little Drummer Boy, Nine years before you came the doctor said that it was impossible for me to have a child because of my PCOS. I cried silently and prayed. I thought it was only a person who told me that and i have a bigger God who can turn impossible things to possible. Years passed and you came. Since then my life has change, sabi nga sa kanta "ang bawat kong pangarap iyong pinalitan. Binigyan ako ng lakas, tyaga at tapang, na harapin ang bawat tanong at pag aalinlangan. Dahil alam ko ikaw ay katabi ko lamang. At sa twing pagsikat at paglubog ng araw nagsisimula at nagwawakas sa salitang ikaw..." you bring so much joy into our lives. And in time, as part of our plans i will explain to you that we have an unconventional family. We have a different structure from the norms, diverse with different beliefs, personalities and humor. However, not because we are unconventional it means we are so special. No because there are other families like us. What you must...
