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

Hope For Haiti now

6 continents, 60 countries, 60 International Networks.. Different people all over the world joined towards one goal and that is to help our Haitian people. Helping from the other side of the world may not have the same impact when you have close encounter with the Haitian victims of the Earthquake that happened last January 12. Thanks to CNN and online streaming, people here in my country were able to keep in touch and it feels like we're not too far at all. I was one of the people tasked to do a brief training to those who volunteered for the telethon organized for hopeforhaitinow. At first, I was hesitant. But setting myself aside, I began thinking of the help, support and motivation I could give to colleagues who are willing to help out to the Haitian community.I was so overwhelmed when I see batches of trainees come and go out of the training room, and then after 30 minutes they were empowered and ready to take in calls. The overall experience was so tiring, it was only n

The Nurse- Edith Shain sure felt butterflies in her tummy back when this lovable soldier gave her a kiss when the World war II ended. This Kiss was supposed to be a sign of love between the two of them, and the  the two of them only. They never imagined that the magic of this kiss will last a century and will be part of our History. Letters to Juliet featured this Historical image when Amanda Seyfried (Sophie) played as a Fact finder and researcher for a prominent Paper in New york. She was a hopeless romantic girl who was engaged to someone she's not sure if she's in love with. They went to Verona, Italy to rekindle the love they had for each other only to find out that the love of her life now is not the one she ever wanted in the first place. Sophie bumped into a group of writers  named "secretaries of Juliet" who writes and answers letters written for Juliet from women all over the world who were seeking for answers regarding matters of the heart. She particip
