25 Days of Blessings - Day11

And just like that, its 14 days to go before christmas. And gifts are now beginning to arrive. 

When I was a child, I used to envy my cousins since they're getting lots of gifts than what I usually receive. But my lola always tells me "Ikaw kasi kaya ka bilhan ng mama at papa mo, sila hindi." But still, receiving gifts during christmas makes us happy right?!

Fast forward, since I started working, receiving gifts during christmas season is my gauge on how I perform socially with my networks. And receiving gifts as early as today, made me realize that I must be doing something good the whole year. 

More gifts to come... , but of course I will also share my blessings...

Nothing beats going home after a long day of training. And best if you have "gatas ng kalabaw" on the dinning table to devour on a rainy day. 

(not the actual photo, I forgot to take one)

Having these for dinner brings back a lot of childhood memories. 

Special thank to my Papa for getting this for me.

25 Days of Blessings - Day9

Today is one-full hectic day, paper works, emails and errands piled-up because of the the two previous holidays due to typhoon ruby. 

But the best thing happened is that, my day started with this amazing and hopeful sunrise view. 

So even not all the agenda of this days meeting was attained. My day is still beautiful. 

Thank you for the beautiful mornings.

I know! Not an excuse, but I got under the weather, we are experiencing the angst of ruby for 4days now. But amidst the rain and some disastrous events, sabi ko nga I will count my blessings. 

My blessing for today is being able to go home early and spend quality time with D. Haha that is the usual perks of the rainy season. 

So here's D, he slid into my bag and told me "sama mo nalang ako sa office mo mommy!" 

Haha the joy of being a mother.

25 Days of Blessings - Day7

Today as we much on this season's food,

I am grateful for allowing our family to enjoy every christmas season. I sometimes complain that everything is not enough, but hey... We are blessed to get whatever we need. Although wala masyadong sobra, but we can afford whatever we need and some ocassional wants. 

And that indeed is a blessing.

25 Days of Blessings - Day6

Today is the birthday of my second father, may Lolo. And I consider him as one of my greatest blessings. I will not be who I am right now if not becuase of the love, guidance and spoiling he did.

I terribly miss him. 

Even if I know now he's so much happy with God, Sometimes I still wish that he's still with us. I feel guilty that during those trying and difficult times of his life, I wasn't there to comfort him. I wish I had the  money and time to give him the most comfortable life he deserves. 

I feel guilty that I took forgranted his cries whenever he's in pain, samantalang ako he couldn't resist me crying for something I don't really need. 

I wish I could thank him for taking care of me, for carrying me to school becuase ayaw niya maputikan shoes ko. For being always with me whenever I need someone to travel with. For making my projects in school and even carrying them. For waking up every morning to get me to school even if he has hang-over. For waiting for me every afternoon after school. For understand all my tantrums. For all kinds of pasalubongs he would bring. For being so proud of me and being my number 1 fan. 

Knowing that not everyone has a supportive, loving and kindest grandfather, I am so blessed.

Dear Lolo, 

Alam ko you wouldn't have a chance to read this, pero malay ko ba? Baka nagbabasa din kayo ng blog ko sa heaven. 

Mahal na mahal kita. Alam ko hndi ako naging vocal sabihin sayo yan, at sorry kung hindi ako nagpasalamat sayo noong nabubuhay ka pa. Alam ko naman na alam mo na yun. Maraming salamat sa lahat ng pagmamahal at lahat ng bagay na binigay mo sa akin. 

Noung nawala ka, hindi ako masyadong nalungkot, kasi alam ko kahit papaano wala ka ng mararamdaman na sakit. And finally, you will be with your parents. Hindi ko naisip nun na mamimimis kita, dahil I have a feeling na loved ones once passed away, will be still with us. And until now, alam ko nakabantay ka lang, that thought keeps me going even in difficult days, dahil alam ko nakasupporta ka lang sa akin. 

Someone told me nuon, you will be my angel at ikaw ang magbubulong kay God ng mga prayers ko. And totoo, hindi mo kami pinabayaan ni D when I gave birth. Maraming salamat. And kahit minsan hindi mo ako pinabayaan. 

Sorry kung hindi ko natupad mga pangarap natin nun, sorry If naging dissapointment ako. Let me make it up to you, and forgive me. And please continue to guide me. 

I miss you,

Today, I thank God for colors.

I have a 28 years of colorful life. Been with the neutral colors, but survived them and I am now cherishing a rainbow life.

25 Days of Blessings - Day4

Today I thank God for the blessing of life. For allowing me to wake-up everyday, and getting into bed comfortably sleeping beside D.

True that God is the creator, the inventor and the destroyer. And I am so thankful that He is still allowing me to be safe and to be with my loved ones. 

Today is a sad day. But despite everything, what happened today made us realise how lucky we are. And made us cherish every moments that we have with our family and to live life to the fullest. 

Thank you for my life and to the life of my loved ones.

Today, I am so grateful with Mr. Google.

Whoever invented him, I will be forever grateful. Because when he's around, I can be an IT personnel, foodie, tourist guide, location finder, researcher, doctor, professional shopper etc. etc. etc

Hay Mr. Google, I can't imagine life without you. But I know not all people have the chance to interact with you everyday, that is why I am still so blessed. For the gadgets and internet connection. 

Thank you for making our lives easier.

25 days of Blessings - Day2

#day2blessing is having the luxury of siting in our living room and watching the lights tinkles in our humble christmas tree. 

Today was extra exhausting. I went to PowerMac centers to have my lappy fixed, but they can't and it cannot be fixed. But beyond the frustrations I know I am still lucky to go home to my loved ones as we enjoy the rush of 'tis season!

25 Days of Blessings -Day1

I went through a lot this year. That is because I focused solely on the negative things that are comming on my way, I didn't realized that although things are not in the way it should be, I am still so blessed with a lot of things. 

This morning, in the middle of the traffic and the hassle rain I received a text message 

" see the good side of every event, things or persons in your life. Then you will never run out of blessings to count. Your blessings are everywhere!" 

Earlier this year I joined the #100days of happiness campaign in instagram but I stoped at day25 yata. I can say going through that campaign let me appreciate everyday little blessings that I have. It made me grateful for the life I have. Why did I stopped? Negativity and laziness overpowered me. Lol

So now, I am starting to count my blessings again, 25 days, until christmas.

#day1blessing is receiving an early gift for christmas. 

Actually this one is an example of good karma. If you are generous with people around you, chances are they will do the same with you. I mean not generous as in extravagant or spending money. Generous in understanding, kindness and teamwork. Friendship is one of the free and essential things in life. You can't live without true friends. 

So receiving this packages made me giddy! Its not from a close friend though, but I can see that she values the relationship we have.

Tadaaa! A comple collection of 2014 Mcdo glasses. 

See? I don't need to have the extra pounds from eating in Mcdo haha.
