Meet the Robinsons

Thursday, November 10th, 2011

Whenever I get to watch Meet the Robinsons, the movie never fails to make me cry. I saw the movie again over the weekend and as expected, I cried especially during the ending when everything started falling into place for Lewis. For the life of me I really can’t imagine how a mother can abandon [...]

How do we deal?

Thursday, July 28th, 2011

How do you deal with your problems? I believe burdens come to test how strong we are. God doesn’t give problems that He knows we can’t solve. As they say, if there’s a problem, there’s always a solution to it. An anecdote that I read inspired me and help me how to deal with life [...]

Beautiful thoughts

Sunday, July 24th, 2011

Whenever I worry, or feeling insecure, my mind is full of negative thoughts. I often lash out at everyone who dare to contradict me. I am often scowling. If you are worrying or feeling insecure right this very moment, don’t be like me who lashes out at her love ones or scowls at anyone I [...]

You are an inspiration!

Mothers are the best! They are willing to do everything for us because their love is unconditional and never ending. Happy Mother’s Day!!! You deserve to be so happy today!

Miracles

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011

On this day of your life, Adie, we believe God wants you to know … that miracles aren’t always big. If you spend all your time looking for big miracles, you’re likely to miss a lot of the little ones; finding your keys when you need them, getting the right medicine for an illness, arriving [...]

Saturday, December 25th, 2010

Have a blessed Christmas everyone! Don’t forget to spend it with your family, your love ones. AND let us not forget the true meaning of Christmas. Let us celebrate the birth of Jesus. Merry Christmas! God bless everyone!

Good memories

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Groups of people are going to the mall this weekend. I am sure of it. It’s payday weekend! If there is one thing that I remember my parents made a tradition is for the whole family to go out once in a while, when there’s more than enough funds to utilize. We’d go to parks [...]

Mom, love, home.

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

I love the smell of freshly cut grass. It reminds me of the few vacations we had when I was a kid. I love the smell of grilled meat. It reminds me of the few barbeque picnics we had in the past. I love the smell of freshly laundered clothes. And the smell of garlic [...]

Simple dreams, simple joys

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

One of the things I am thankful for is that I was born to a family with simple dreams and simple joys in life. We live in a modest house. My siblings and I went to private schools but nothing too fancy. We don’t have a car at the moment but we used to have [...]

Wishing for this…

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

I’ve always wanted a patio like this. It’s so relaxing to look at and I am sure, this is a great place to entertain guests. I wish we have a house where we can set up something like this. I am posting this photo to inspire me to reach for this dream… a house somewhere [...]

Smile and laugh

Friday, September 5th, 2008

Be intentional about enjoying the sounds of laughter. Start now! On the count of three, place your hands over your belly and say HA, HA, HA! Feel the belly muscles contract? Your mind was working for you to signal the muscles to contract. Yes, a helpful mind. Repeat this until your own spontaneous laugh begins? [...]

Special occasions

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

Something to make you smile… One day, I was in the bathroom and noticed one of the cabinet door was ajar. I read the box in the cabinet. I then asked my mother why she was keeping napkins in the bathroom. Didn’t they belong in the kitchen? Not wanting to burden me with unnecessary facts [...]

The same applies to your family…

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another’s desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that [...]

Nourishing to the soul

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Family life is full of major and minor crises — the ups and downs of health, success and failure in career, marriage, and divorce — and all kinds of characters. It is tied to places and events and histories. With all of these felt details, life etches itself into memory and personality. It’s difficult to [...]

I would love to have one like this at home
