Loving Liberty [A blog for mother's day]

-




When I was younger, I guess up till now I used to depend to what my mom and big sister would have to say about a certain circumstance and some minor decisions in my everyday life. I must admit, that even up to now their insights mean a lot to me even when I have gab in my life right now.. 

Although my mom and sis isn't physically living with me, their words of wisdom has a pinch in my heart. I haven't appreciated this life alone not until this joy come up to me this day that made me appreciate the liberty of being a mom to my 3-year old daughter. 

I guess I must be thankful that my ya ya didn't went back soon as what we have talked about. So I got home early today since I only asked a favor from my uncle to look after gab for the night.. 

My normal routine during normal office days are as follows- would normally take post shift OT till 8am, eat breakfast anywhere, go home at around noon,  and take a power nap- maximum of 5 hours. 

When my nanny didn't went back before my shift for the week starts, I suddenly had a twist of my daily weekday routine. I went straight to the market to buy food. Cooked breakfast, fixed the things in the living room and fixed all the mess in the house, my nanny didn't bother taking a look at while she was here...

Instead of feeling weary, exhausted. I felt liberated by this one thing that made me proud of-- being a mother. I guess I felt the fulfillment when I got the chance to fix all the basic needs in the house such as, taking care of the groceries, doing house hold chores (except doing the laundry of course!) I'm blessed that I'm physically toned up so I can still take care of Gabby's needs when I get home from work. And I am blessed by wonderful people who served as my support system in reminding me of the things I fail to remind myself of doing.


Liberty- is one word everybody wishes for. But liberty is fulfilling when we align ourselves with the things we are destined to do. 







To all mothers who wanted to feel the liberty of being a woman, cheers! Happy mother's day!

For 4 years, my Alma Matter was and still is the University of Santo Tomas .  There are a lot of reasons to be proud of this University. The Character built within each and every students who enroll in this campus are remarkable and I can say made us, Filipinos proud of our race.  For Centuries (400 years), Catholic catechism has been the basis of the University's teachings. When I took up Fine arts back in 2002, there are less lectures and more on hands-on drawings and labs. This means lesser class hours for Christian living lessons *sigh. Less time, but unforgettable teachings. How can I forget my professor, Mr. Cura? He was 65 years old back then, but still he was teaching. He was a real emblem of PASSION, PATIENCE. He was a real inspiration for everyone whom he shared his life with. Apart from the great teachings and lectures I had with Mr. Cura, the University's annual activities being held like "PASKUHAN" is one of the reasons why I dearly love my Alma Matte...

August 7, 2010 (Saturday) Lesson #1 Each and every patient is unique. They might have the same symptoms, but they have different causes. The doctors should treat each patient differently, ask questions, and listen. In our case, I told this doctor that my daughter has cough for almost a month now and the doctors including my daughter's pedia heard that her lungs are clear whenever they listen through it. It turned out that my daughter had viral fever which was caused by pneumonitis. If only this gay doctor from the ER last saturday LISTENED. He could have admitted us that day and no need to send us away. Lesson #2 Mothers knows best . It is part of our innate instinct to feel that there's something wrong happening to our loved ones. Indeed, gabby just had a plain HIGH FEVER but who are they to tell us not to have our daughters admitted when we felt there's something wrong. When we believe in something, we have to stand up for it and fight. yes, FIGHT. I have to sound...

Nothing else matters, nothing in this world will do. Jesus at the center, everything revolves around you. Jesus, You at the center of it all. -"Jesus be the center" by Israel Houghton and New breed. Woke up at around 6 o'clock in the morning and I was listening to this song in which I thought was very timely. I was playing over it again and again until I organized some valuable thoughts, experiences creating a microscopic organization of my life from the time I really let the Lord take over my life. Looking back at it, I can testify to one Truth:  that Jesus is a faithful God, He listens to prayers and gives us the desire of our hearts in a timely manner. There were prayers I once made such as prayer for family reconciliation, personal prayer for other people and personal prayers I made for me and gabby. These prayers, in time were answered without me even waiting for it. There's a prayer I once made which I thought would never happen because of unfor...
