A Lesson For Us

My friend forwarded me with these message:

A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home.
He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed: 'Dear Lord:
I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home.
I want her to know what I go through.
So, please allow her body to switch with mine for a day.
Amen!' God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.
The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman.
He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, Awakened the kids,
Set out their school clothes,
Fed them breakfast,
Packed their lunches,
Drove them to school,
Came home and picked up the dry cleaning,
Took it to the cleaners Went grocery shopping,
Then drove home to put away the groceries,
He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog.
Then, it was already 01P.M.
And he hurried to make the beds, Do the laundry, vacuum,
Dust,
And sweep and mop the kitchen floor.
Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home.
Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework.
Then, set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing.
At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper. After supper,
He cleaned the kitchen,
Ran the dishwasher,
Folded laundry,
Bathed the kids,
And put them to bed.
At 09 P.M .
He was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint. The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said: - 'Lord, I don't know what I was thinking.
I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day.
Please, oh! Oh! Please, let us trade back.
Amen!' The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied:
'My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were. You'll just have to wait nine months, though.
You got pregnant last night.'
I hope we shall help each other in caring for the family not to think of oneself's convenience. It teach us a lesson to give importance to wives who may always be at home but having a mountanous routinary task everyday.

Report Card

Last night, I receive my daughter's report card and she was able to maintain her grades. She ranked 10th in her class out of 30 students. Which made my husband and I happy cause she's doing well in school. One thing that we laugh about was the comment of the teacher, it says, " She participate well in school. Outstanding in oral and written examination but very talkative." Toink! Well, atleast she's talking and sociable towars her classmates. hehehehe. Anyway she is still young, we have just to let her grow and to guide her in exploring the world.

Another

Just another poem I wrote, hehehehe . . .

You're My Stronghold

I was down and lonely

You came up and comforted me

You lift me up

And made me laugh

You're always there

when I needed a shoulder to cry on

You're always there to

hear my complaints and problems

You're a stronghold to me,

You helped me face

the different obstacles

and consequences in life.

I trust you, you trust me

I have told you my secrets

You are frank, my friend

and I love you.

We may have some misunderstandings

But we can cope with it

Saying sorry comes first

and forgiveness comes next.

I hope this will remain forever

This precious friendship

we have tried to keep

and treasured so deep.

This is one of my interest - poem writing. Sometimes I do write down my thoughts. This poem is more than a decade old.

Its Hard to Say Goodbye

Its hard to say goodbye

to the friends I have

the jokes we've shared

and the tears we've shed.

Its hard to say goodbye

to the persons who taught me

to face the world courageously

and corrected me when I'm wrong.

Its hard to say goodbye

to the place

where I've stayed for years

the place where I found friends

and learned new things in life.

Yes, its hard to bit goodbye

to these memories

but I have to to face

the new world

and new challenges in life.

Another Update

Look at it now . . .

At a closer look . . . There!

There's still a lot of things to be done here. Although the upper outside portion is about to complete but the inner part is not. It needs a lot of furnished to do.

I am so excited to have an overnight stay here together with my loved ones. Actually, as I said before we usually take our visit here every weekends but just for a short period. I really wanted to stay here and feel the peaceful and unpolluted surroundings.

LoVe

Many waters themselves
cannot extinguish love
nor can explain what true love is

All we know that it exist
it just occur and comes to us
and we can never understand
why we feel it

Even rain, nor river
can stop nor washed it away

But all I know is
it is deep
as deepest as the deepest abyss
and as complex as the universe

Love is all around us
but true are rarely found
and I do hope everyone gonna find it
the easy way.

How to Hug A Baby

As I was reading my email, an email from one of my classmates caught my attention. It is entitled "How To Hug A Baby". Since I do have a 4 year old daughter, whom I still consider a baby, I got interested and read it right away. It was funny. Share this to all my blogger friends and visitors.

Here it goes . . .

FOLLOWING ARE IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR EVERY DOG TO KNOW :


INSTRUCTIONS FOR HUGGING A BABY :

1. First find a baby.......

2. Second, be sure that the object you spied was indeed a baby by employing classic sniffing techniques. If you smell baby powder and the wonderful aroma of wet diapers this is indeed a baby.

3. Next you will need to flatten the baby before actually beginning the hugging process.


**Note: The added slobber should help in future steps by making the 'paw slide' easier.

4.. The 'paw slide'Simply slide paws around baby and prepare for possible close-up.

5. Finally, if a camera is present, you will need to executethe difficult and patented 'hug, smile, and lean' so as to achieve the best photo quality.

Dogs, if this is properly done, it will secure you a warm, dry, climate-controlled environment for the rest of your life. !

If you don't pass this along, a dog Will come out and pee on your computer!

O O P S !

I guess you didn't send it fast enough!

See its funny isn't?! How to hug a baby instruction for DOGS! Hahahahaha. I hope you enjoy this post.

My Treasure

One of my priceless treasures are my poems which I wrote during my teenage years. I did stop writing for more than a decade. I did forgot all of my composition until lately I opened my old boxes and found my collection. Its not so great though I count it as my treasure. Here's one of them ;

My Friend

All my life I've searched for someone

who'll care for me

Someone to laugh with, whom I can

share my joys and sorrows

Someone who'll help me face the world

courageously

All those times when I was busy

searching

I didn't realized there was someone

just behind me

Willing to care, share, willing to help

You were always there whenever

I needed a shoulder to cry on

You were there when I thought

it was the end of the world

Heaven knows you were always there

when I needed you to be

But why, when I was beginning

to see reality

When I realized that you were the one

I've searching for

Did you have to go

and leave me . . .

Here I am reminiscing the

memories

Memories of you when

you were still here

My Friend, may your soul rest in peace.

See The Farm House

Whew! It's almost done, the walls are already installed. We are still ordering the glasses for the windows and doors. I can't wait to have it all furnished!

The kids were running around it yesterday. They like it there because the air is cool and they love to look at the sea. They also want to stay there overnight. But then I told them that there's no electricity yet, its dark at night, so, they let me promise to have an overnight there if the house is already done.

The excavation for the pool is already done. I don't know yet what will be the design of the pool, I think I have to surf the net first before they cement it.

My daughter, my nephews and my niece were really excited when they got to see and learn that the hole is intended for the pool. They are already asking me to finish the pool first instead of the house. hehehehe. They all love to swim. Kids easily changed their mind instantly. Hay!

At around 7 pm, I and my husband stayed at this house for an hour discussing the arrangement of the kitchen, ofcourse we were bringing flash light. We did sat on the floor looking at the horizon and the tiny lights of the boat and some houses. We did relaxed.

* The view from the would-be kitchen*

My Job

I love my present job. However, yesterday I was reprimanded by our boss not because of my job performance rather because of conflict of interest (my job and my husband's business). Our boss was really upset.

I was really crying because it was not my intention to get involved but then sometimes we end up being in a not so good circumstances. To ease my pain, I asked my immediate superior to give me a time off yesterday afternoon, to which, he permitted me. I hope he can forgive me for I let him down. I also hope that he will not fire me because of that.

After 2 weeks . . .

We went back to our farm house and the construction is still going on. We went there about 6pm so its a little bit dark plus it rained last Sunday. See the progress . . .





It was slippery in going up. Sad to say I slipped upon going down, huhuhuhuhu, my butt hurts and my pants was full of mud. My sister laughed at me and Iwas so mad at her. . . But she did helped me in taking off the mud from my pants. hehehehehehe. Hay! Sisters are both a blessing and a cursed! Agree with me?

The Farm House - Update

After a week, we came to visit our farm again. Actually, we usually spend our sunday afternoon there. Take a look at the progress of our farm house.

See the view from the house . . .

My daughter really enjoyed running around it and really enjoyed the fresh air there. See her pose for the day. Isn't she cute? (Never object! She's my daughter!)

We went home at around 9'oclock in the evening.

How I wish we can already spend the night here (sigh).

Yummy Veggies

While checking on the progress of our farm house, I also visited the vegetable nursery about 500 meters from the farm house and look what I saw . . .

Lettuce

Chinese celery

We commonly call this in the Philippines as kangkong

The tomatoes are starting to bear some of its fruits

Chili

Broccolli

What makes those vegetables different? We are using purely organic fertilizer which makes those looks, texture and taste different. One of the base that we use in our fertilizer is gano.

Freshly Harvested Sweet Bell Pepper & Lettuce

I pick some of those yummy veggies and made a salad for me and for my hubby.

We also planted some rarely grown fruit in the Philippines to which we also uses organic fertilizer, such as the following:

Strawberry

13 variety of Grape Vines

Fuji and Green Apple Trees

The Farm House

Our farm house is now under construction! Wohoo! I thought of documenting the progress of our farm. I took this picture yesterday, though, still a skeleton but its roofing is already done, see?
.
.

.

and another angle . . .

.

.

.

It has 3 rooms, made of wood and bamboo. I talked to my brother and he said that maybe at the end of the month it will be done. Meaning we can already spend our weekend here with my family. Away from the busy and polluted life in the city. So Ana hurry back home so that we can spend sometime here chatting the whole day! hahahahaha

My Weight

As a common problem to all moms, WEIGHT!



This is my interest, to lose weight. Ever since I gave birth, I really wanted to bring back my old weight of 50kg. Really a mother is very fulfilling, however, weight becomes a problem. I envy those mothers who are very sexy inspite of having 3-5 children. I wish I could stay as sexy as they are. Hay . . . . . . . . . . . .



My husband told me that I am still sexy (gosh is he blind! I have so much bulges around my body!). He usually comforted me by telling, the inner person that counts more and not merely the outer or physical appearance. Well, I believe him but then, can't help it, I want to wear sexy outfit. Anyone agrees with me? Toink!!!!!!



Well looking at my old pictures, I wish I could be in that size again.

*






*

See those pictures? The upper pictures were before I got pregnant and below is my present size. Do I look different now? Tell me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Singing - My passion

When I was 6 years old, I found singing to be so much fun. I remember the song that I am really fond of, The Greatest Love of All by Whitney Houston. I realized, singing was one of my passions however, I did not concentrate on such because I preferred to finish school.

I still have a passion for music and singing especially during videoke! Wooohoooo!

Though I was not able to really develop my talent, I am very thankful that God gave me such talent. Thankful that one way or the other, I was able to enjoy it by joining some choral contest in my high school and some school program. I do enjoy my singing until now but usually I perform it in the . . . BATHROOM! hahahahaha! I bet you do too!

See Her Grow

See how my baby had grown. I remember when I conceived her; I could not explain the feeling I had then. But fear had set aside instead, mother instinct and love for her set in. She is now 4 years old and I know I have still a long way to guide her, to mold her, and to love her for her to be a better person in the future.

*

*
I am really thankful that in my five years of being married, I was blessed to have a child and I am still hoping to have just one more, maybe a boy. . . preferably. Well, if it is a girl, still fine.

*

She used to be so fragile and so tiny and see her now she can already walk, run, write, jump and playing around, she can even add and subtract numbers on her own. I do hope my little girl will continue to grow healthy, strong and with so much love in her heart.

Our Farm

Last year, my husband and I decided to buy an agricultural land. What motivated us to buy such lot was because of my biological brother. Though, not an agriculturist, he's interest and passion was for agriculture, planting vegetables and fruits which are rarely found in the Philippines, such as strawberry, basil, lettuce, jujubi, grape vine, sweet bell pepper and salad tomatoes. Other commonly grown that he planted are banana trees, eggplant, lanzones, mangostene and cabbage. He often told me that he is an agronomist. Don't ask me what is that because . . . I don't know. I will research later. Toink! hehehehe. He even formulated his own fertilizer to which he called EM. EM is an organic and natural based fertilizer. We used it in our farm, meaning, our farm is free from commercial fertilizer, pesticide and herbicides. Its all natural and so healthy.

*

*

We usually go there and have our family picnic every Sunday in the afternoon after our congregational meeting. We usually pack fishes and meat to grill and chicken drumstick to fry for my daughter, my nephews and niece. We do have some fun going there plus we do bring our magic sing to sing out loud, hahahahaha!

*

Below are some of the picture taken in our farm :

An overlooking from the top of the farm. This is where we will build our farm house

My New Home 090108

Oh well! this is my new home. I just created it yesterday, the 1st of September 2008. It talks about my interest which includes my family, my hobby and all the things I love to do.

I will also include in this blog about our new home, our new farm house, that is still under construction. I will also post pictures, maybe next month when it is already fully constructed.

As for now I will start to tell my other blogger friends about this new home I created.
