Our happy days at the Park

2008-07-25T15:47:00.003+08:00

Below was the latest pictures taken in Chatuchak Park, Bangkok. Every saturday is our "park time", as long as it's not raining or we don't have important appointment that day. This park is very big many family activity area like playgrounds, swimming pool, painting area for the children and lot more. We noticed many amateur or professional photographers are coming together with their models and also some artists like painters, they are painting flowers, trees and lot more. There is also a butterfly garden but I think there is an entrace fee, we never been there yet. It's big anyone can play soccer with their family or friends. They have also tennis and basketball courts. If you are here in Bangkok, try to visit the park. If you are the person who loves nature, I assure you will really appreciate it.

Enlightenment

2008-06-13T02:12:00.001+08:00

Where do you go, if no one is coming to you?
What else you can do, if no one believes you?
What else you can say, if no one is listening?
When is the time, that you need answers to your prayers?

Those are some lines people may ask themselves if they are in pain and in trouble. The best that we can do when we are sad is to pray in our whole heart. To have fate and believe what we asked for. Prayers are the best tool to ease such pain that people may suffering and to enlightend them with their worries.

I personally experienced those lines when the times I was very sad, and felt alone and lonely. It took years for me to finally over with those experiences that almost made me down. But the best encouragement I have is to pray deeply and be positive, don't let negative energy ruled the positive energy. Be a fighter and trust God to help you out with those sadness and pains. Now that I overcome those past bad things happened to me, those words that people hit my heart, I was greatful that finally it's over because I trust God that He will help me. I just prayed to Him, "Ikaw na ang bahala sa kanila (I will leave it to you)."

I can't write the whole story of my life because it's a bit personal. I just want to share the best tool that you can do when your are in pain and sadness. That is prayer. I have a link of some novena prayers for your reference. God Bless us all.

Best Gift I have receive this Mother's Day

2008-05-12T10:16:00.007+08:00

Will consider the best gift I've ever received this mother's day is that my son greeted me Happy Mother's Day for second time. The first one is last year when he was 2 1/2 years old, when he can talk. One week before the mother's day he always say to me "Happy Mother's Day, mommy!" and kiss me, because he saw that on TV ads on playhouse disney all the time. It reminds him to greet me everytime he saw that commercial. I was very happy that my son knows this at early age, now that he is 3 1/2 years old he understands the meaning of some words. And early in the morning, I receive a text message from my husband that says "Happy Mother's Day! I Love You very much! Saka na yung gift, hehe". And he woke me up and kiss me also.

How we celebrate it?
We go to the church at 10:30am then we went to the mall for lunch and do some shopping. The last stop is the grocery store. That's so simple.

We went to Pattaya for a 3 days vacation (April 11-13, 2008), to celebrate Thailand Songkran. We stayed in Nong Nooch Tropical Botanical Garden & Resort.

Upon arrival in the site there are some Thai nationals taking pictures of us and when we are about to go home they sell the pictures together with frame for 100 baht. In the afternoon we went to a public beach take some rest while my daughter played at the side with her daddy. On that day my son JZ still has a fever kaya hindi naglaro.

Then we ate dinner in nearby seafood restaurant.

On the 2nd day, we ate breakfast and go swimming. Below are some pictures.

In the afternoon we watched Thai cultural show and an elephant show. Next to this we ride a tour bus to see the botanical garden. Here are some pictures taken in the garden.

On the 3rd day breakfast and swimming then we ride a paddle boat. We checkout at 12:00 noon, took a lunch in Pizza Company in Tesco Lotus. And the finale we went up in Tower Park 55th floor to see the Pattaya City and beach, took a cable car ride from the Tower going down to the beach.

That's our vacation in Pattaya, it was a happy and exciting days. Below picture is our friends here in Bangkok, all filipinos.

Sydelle walks when she was only 10 months old

2008-02-22T19:48:00.006+08:00

I was really amazed and surprised when I saw my daughter walks for the first time when she was only 10 months old. When she knows that she can walk already she was very happy walking all around the house and enjoying. Now that she is 11 months old she can walk a bit faster. Our friends also amazed with her because that's the early age that a baby can walk. I have attached her video.

Our Fourth Year Wedding Anniversary

2008-01-16T02:23:00.000+08:00

Before our anniversary arrives, I ask him my gift. And he said "For what?". As usual he forgot the important date, but it doesn't matter to me now. What important is we still together and we accepted our short comings in different ways. If the husband forgot, the wife should tell him so that the couple could celebrate the important date of their life. Although, it is happier and memorable if the husband remembers the anniversary because it is a different date, it should be a memorable date. But don't get angry at all times if it happens just remind him maybe the next year it makes a difference.
Well we just ate dinner with our children and with my mother and cousin. And after two days he bought me a ring and earrings as a post wedding gifts.

Christening & Birthday of my Kids in Bangkok

2007-11-05T15:30:00.000+08:00

November 4, 2007 was the Christening and Birthday celebration of my kids name Sydelle and JZ. Sydelle is 7 half months old and JZ is 3 years old. The event was successful though some of the expected guests are not present. We saw the children happy playing inside and outside the area, they have 1 type of game (we thought they prepared 3 types of game) and we gave them giveaways. This is the first time we celebrate JZ's birthday in Mc Donald's Central-Lad Phrao, Bangkok. The link below are the photos of the party, take some time to view and comment. To all the visitors and friends who celebrated with us, a big thank you to all of you. God bless!

How do you feel if your husband forgot your wedding anniversary?

2007-01-23T11:08:00.000+08:00

For me, I feel sad about it and asked myself why my husband forgot the day we became one? I never reminded him on that day, I want him remember even it is late but he did not. Well I guess men are like that, they did not remember important dates. In three years of marriage he just greets me once, in our first year anniversary. I’d loved to initiate the move for him to be reminded but not every year. Women are happy when their hubby did the first greetings. I am not so disappointed with this, what good thing is ‘he remembers the day we became boyfriends.’ We have been together for 6 years and 7 months before we get married. I guess that is the most important date for him. For me I just want him to add another important date on his lists.

Jingle Bells Song

2006-12-01T08:34:00.000+08:00

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Dashing through the snow

In a one-horse open sleigh

Through the fields we go

Laughing all the way.

Bells on bob-tail ring

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight.

chorus: Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way,

Oh what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh, O

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way,

Oh what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh.

A day or two ago

I thought I'd take a ride

And soon Miss Fanny Bright

Was seated by my side;

The horse was lean and lank

Misfortune seemed his lot,

We ran into a drifted bank

And there we got upset.

A day or two ago

The story I must tell

I went out on the snow

And on my back I fell;

A gent was riding by

In a one-horse open sleigh

He laughed at me as

I there sprawling laid

But quickly drove away.

Now the ground is white,

Go it while you're young,

Take the girls along

And sing this sleighing song.

Just bet a bob-tailed bay,

Two-forty as his speed,

Hitch him to an open sleigh

and crack! You'll take the lead.

Note: If you have corrections on the lyrics please let me know.

JZ's 2nd Birthday Party

Old feeling reveals

2006-07-13T11:08:00.000+08:00

There is a lady standing beside the tree over the hill. She is enjoying watching the beautiful view of sunset and the beach. Here comes the man she is waiting for. “Sorry I keep you waiting?” said Larry. “It is okay, I am enjoying watching the beautiful view,” said the lady. And they walk for a while. “I want to give you this and I am glad you accept my invitation,” said Larry. “Oh these are beautiful flowers, thank you,” said the lady. “There is something I want to tell you… I like you since we are teenagers, I know we are not close nor we are not friends but I like you very much! My feelings for you are still the same until now. And I know you don’t have the same feelings for me but it doesn’t matter I won’t expect anything from you. I just want to tell you that I love you very much before I go,” said Larry. Where are you going?” said the lady. “You will know soon,” said Larry. “There is something I need to tell you, you do not notice it but I have the same feelings as yours. But that was before and we have our own families now,” said the lady. “Thank you, I was very happy at this moment,” said Larry.
Then suddenly there’s a man coming. “I was looking for you. I need something to tell you, Larry is dead,” said the man. The lady look behind her and Larry is not there. The man got curious what she’s looking for. She told him that Larry is with her before he arrives and gave him a bunch of flowers. Then suddenly her tears falling on her face, she remembers what Larry said to her that he just want to tell her about his feelings for a long time before he left. The lady knows that wherever Larry goes he will be happy.

My experiences on becoming a first time mom!

2006-06-29T17:47:00.000+08:00

Becoming a mother is big responsibility. Having a child is hard and tiring yet pleasurable. I am a mother of 20 month old boy. We all know that boys are more enjoying physical activities than girls, they love more to play physical activity games. He loves and enjoying running all around the house and outside, writing on the tiles using crayons, watching baby music learning tools and making mess. All of these are tiring and hard times. Why? Because I have to catch him to make him laugh, I have to clean the tiles and his mess, and I have to be with him watching his favorite learning music and child shows again and again. All of these tiring moments are relieved when I saw my son learning, growing talented, and intelligent, and grows physically fit. This is for now, a 1 year and 8 month old. What if he speaks? Went to school? Becoming a teenager? Having his own family? These are new challenges to face for the mother, how she teach her child to become a good person. For the mothers out there, let’s enjoy being a mother, a wife, a friend and we will be happy.
