the mommy in me...
Full time mom....there are two ways of looking at it,first its a full on,stressful,challenging role but on the other hand, it's a fulfillment to be of service for them,because i know they would still be needing me,its awesome to be there with them whenever there are tender moments happening on odd times.It is wonderful to feel that i am loved in such quirky ways,hugged and kissed to as much as they can with thier tiny arms.No matter how i would stuff things up sometimes,it is such a comforting feeling that i'm still loved.But this is just me,somehow.Motherhood has been my persona ever since.I'd been mothering my baby sister at a tender age of 9,i often times nurture and take care of my friends as if they were my children (ann,you know what i mean),when i was a teacher back then...i was really immersed into my element of motherhood to the point of being emotionally involved,i loved being a teacher,i had a first hand experience of mothering in a way.When i went to dubai to work as a food service staff for two years,had made friends there with co workers and everyone knows me as "nanay" mira.
So,i guess i'm just celebrating the person in me.There are so many facets of being who you are and who you want to be.For me,to be a mother is a God given gift.

hello!its been a long while,but i'm back!
Due to my busy and full on circumstance being a wife and a mom of two,i've seemed to have put aside my time for blogging,but just recently i had received a short note from a dear friend,anne, askin if i can do some updates and go back to blogging....so here i am.Lots had been going on since then,maeve is a preppie now,niall will be a preppie next year and we just moved house closer to school...what is so amazing is that the house is just what we need,extra space for the kids to have thier own bedroom,good backyard enough to have a vegie and herb patch,ample space for maeve and niall to run-a-muck.

Walking down Memory Lane and Reminiscin'
Ahhhh...the good ol' days.The laughters and the tears.The silliness and the madness.BUt i am thankful for all of it.It had made me who i am and what i had become of myself.Best of all,i am grateful for what God had laid out for me from the beginning of my existence..even though i thought that my life wasnt cut out to be something great and interesting but as i journey along...i'm realizing that every pitfalls and blunders,discouragements,defeats along the way gave me valuable life's lessons which somehow gave me the courage,strength,encouragement and wisdom.
I remember those times when i thought that mommy was just so cruel to let a 7 year old kid do home chores.I do the laundry and iron clothes.I babysit my younger siblings and took them to bath,make milk,etc.I felt i miss out so much in my childhood.I was miserable when i was in high school,i had one pair of uniform,and mostly hand me downs from our well-off cousins...mommy would more likely modify it.I never had liked my high school life..because i was timid,got low self-esteem,i felt i was ugly.So much so that my pen name in my diary was "ugly duckling".The most embarrasing thing that happened in my high school life was when mommy insisted on perming my hair..and it turned out like michael jackson's hairdo!i turned up one morning with the hairdo and saw everyone laughing..so i ran out from the class..so embarassed that i dont want to go to school anymore.But i just cant stop schooling isnt it?So i went back,tried to be brave and moved on.
Hayyy..those days...i like to remember happier times with mommy and daddy...when its summer and we would be hearing mommy and daddy's steps as they would wake up in the wee hours at 4am and heads to the market...as soon as they get back from the market,mommy would would tell us to pack our beach bags...and everyone of course get moving and were generally excited.Daddy would hire or borrow a minica(mini car)from his mate and we would chuck ourselves like sardines (hahaha!Figure out how we manage to do that when we are a dozen!)
