Mommy Moments: To my Dearest Son

Bujojoy,

January 25, 2002 was the first time that we have confirmed that a little person will be joining us soon. I will never forget that day and how Dada could not seem to stop telling me that you will be a boy. And indeed you came a boy. Dada was beaming with pride when he first held you in his hands.

From August 2, 2002 till today, you never ceased to amaze me. Small gestures such as the time when you started to mimic the people around you; to the way how you can finish a Sudoku puzzle in two minutes now. Indeed my baby has grown to be the little man that you are right now.

I hope that in the future, we will both be given what we have been fervently praying for. I hope sometime soon, we will celebrate Valentine's day no longer threesome but with another tot in tow. I know some time soon, you will be celebrating Hearts' day with another lady. But for this Vday, let us just enjoy being three.

Bujojoy, there maybe times that Mama will reprimand you for your wrong doings but Mama is just doing that because she loves you dearly and she does not want to see you lose your way. But these I promise you; I will never get tired of explaining things you ask about. I will never stop answering your inquiries. I will never cease cooking the foods that you dearly love to eat. I will never lose the love I have for you. No matter what happens, you will always be Mama's little baby (kahit maging 30 year old ka na!).

Mama and Dada will always be here for you. We love you, anak!

To each his own

Have you ever felt humiliation? or guilt? I have experienced that at some time in my life. I no longer want to go further thru the details but I want to share how I was able to cope. Admitting your mistakes would be the biggest part of moving on. Once that you admitted that something actually went wrong then the rest will follow. You do not have to shout it out to the world that you are wrong but you just have to accept the fact that you are. Acceptance would be the second part of moving on. We just have to accept the sad fact that all people commit mistakes as we go along our lives and sometimes those mistakes takes us where we do not want to be. When you are able to have these two, then it will be easier for you to go to the third one, which is forgiveness. For other people to forgive you, you will have to forgive yourself first. You can only do that when you have done the first two parts. It is always a full circle. And I guess, time could be the only thing that heals everything that have been wounded.

For some honor could be the number of recognition they have had in their life. For some it could be just being able to live within their own means without having to step on other people's rights. So it is still to each his own, afterall.

A New Entry, at last!

It feels great to be back to what you love doing. My hands has been very full last year that I was not able to make anything for this site. I promise to be a better blogger this year. Not only because I am getting something out of blogging but because I missed being here and having a slice of my idea shared online.

I will try my best to at least spend a few minutes to talk about the things I love and to rant about those that I don't. I just hope that people would still take some time to read my thoughts and share some comments.

At last, I have a new entry after more than a year of hiatus. If you can, please check out my new look and take some time to look at my address bar, it now reads, www.momfrommanila.com. The good thing about this, I got the package for free.(yey!) The chicken reports the scattering stair throughout our composite.
