A tribute to my beloved Mama

This is dedicated to my mama Geline on mother's day..........



Dear Mama,


It's been so long since i penned a note for you. I can't even remember the last time i did it. I'm so caught up with a busy life, juggling work and family, that writing to you is the last thing in my hectic day.It doesnt mean i don't think about you often, coz' i do. it's just that, calling by phone is more easy and fast way of getting in touch. It's almost 12 midnight here and i'm thinking about what would be a fitting gift to a woman who selflessly dedicated her whole life in raising eight kids to be the best that they can be.

I know you've been through a lot of struggles and sufferings , i myself witness that. But through your tenacity and perseverance , you emerge victorious.

I'm not good in expressing myself, i'm not good in showing my emotions, but today is the exemption. maybe because , jaden woke me up early this morning and give me a note he made for mother's day and it was the most touching message coming from a young mind trying to express his feelings.

Today, i want you to know that you are loved, that all your endeavors in raising your kids are greatly appreciated ,that no matter where am i , i always thought about your well-being and always pray that you're in your best self every passing day. All your teachings about respect and love , i carried it with me hoping i can impart it to my kids . with your unending love and support and believing in me, i become what i am today.To that i give you credit.There's so many superlatives to describe about you but it only boils to one thing , you're the best! you might not be a perfect mom but you're the greatest ...

Happy Mother's day Ma and see you soon... Your grandkids are excited to see you and i'm sure you are too.


with lots of love,
inday

Need Some Motivation

Why can't i bring myself to be motivated so i can finish my class project on time and start studying my lessons for the exam next week? I'm always cramming these days.It becomes a normal pattern that it makes me stress out but still i do it. I guess there's no one to blame but me.I know, i'm back to being lazy again ,which is not unusual.I keep being sidetracked to these movies that i got from netflix. I keep saying to myself that later i'll study but it's already evening and still i havent started the four chapters that will be included in the exam.what the heck! oh well, i guess i'll just have to force myself to do it or else i'll be in trouble.Can't afford to fail, not now.I think it's time to bring that studious person that has been gone long time ago.Lets just see.......

The Gift of Friendship

This poem is lovingly dedicated to all my wonderful friends............



Friendship is a priceless gift
that cannot be bought or sold

for its value is far greater than a mountain made of gold.
for gold, is cold and lifeless.

it has no ears to listen
no hearts to understand

it could not bring you comfort
nor reach out a helping hand

so, when you ask God for a gift,
be thankful if he sends not diamonds, pearls or riches
but the love of a real true friend.

My Hubby's Birthday Surprise

Last thursday was my husband's natal day but i pretended that i forgot his birthday though i told my 4 year old daughter to greet his dad when i'll leave for work that morning.When i got home from work that day, he was so upset coz' of all people,his wife did'nt bother to greet him.Little did he know that i was planning a birthday surprise for him the next day in a chinese restaurant with some of our close friends.He was caught off guard when we walk inside the restaurant and there they were, saying happy birthday to him in unison.My husband was teary eyed at that moment while everybody around him was laughing.He became more emotional when he started blewing the candles of his naked woman cake, a happy birthday song was played in the restaurant.I was really surprised that the staff will go to such lengths to make his birthday memorable.Over all, it was a happy celebration.

Gorgeous Day

What a beautiful day today! a far cry from what the weatherman predicted--rain and snow showers.Sometimes it's hard to believe what the meteorologists are saying now- adays,sometimes they get it right, other times it's the opposite.Oh well,what matters most, is the sun doesn't hesitate to shine its rays today. I'm sure lots of people welcome this weather change after months of cold, gloomy winter.Dont get me wrong, I love winter. I love the beauty of it and the scenery it created, but it seems like it has no plans of going away sooner.The sun shining today is a sure welcome of those dreary, cold days.I'll just cross my fingers hoping winter will bid adieu to make way for spring and summer.

Life of Pi

The first few pages of this book are so boring that i keep yawning while reading it.But since it is required that we should read it for our english class, i have no choice but to endure it. This is not the kind of book that i like. mostly, my favorites are, spionage and romance fictions.As i read along, the story became interesting and horrific.It will make you question if this story happens in real life or just a figment of the imagination of the author. This book is worth reading and makes you wonder about your faith.If you were Pi, do you think you can get through this ordeal without losing your own mind? Pi's journey in the ocean is unbelievable but through his faith he was able to pull through.if not for his faith, he would have given up and die in the pacific.Yann Martel tells us that it is worth to have faith during trying times.

Lazy Day

Here i am sprawled in the couch tinkering with my laptop while all around me is in chaos.Yes, the house is a mess, toys are scattered everywhere- compliment of my two little rascals, dishes are piling up in the sink waiting for me, but despite these turbulence ,i still can't bring myself to get up.i feel so tired lately that even my exercise routine every weekend is put on hold.Good i have a husband who feeds me and the kids or we all go hungry. Weekends are just a lazy days for me. my energy is zapped after five days of hard work. I called it "hard work" coz' lately we are pressured to work on our butts so we can reach in our qouta everyday.But how can we do that when everything is taken away from us? like the tools that we're accustomed of using was replaced with junk! No wonder people's emotions went ballistic sometimes. Mine is not an exception either. I recall the words of my teacher in a business class , she said that, "sometimes management are just too arrogant to acknowledge that they know the job too little compared to the rank and file people who do the dirty jobs",that is quite true! they tried to make it easy for us when in fact, it's the other way around.Now here i am, trying to ease my aching body with a little massage here and there hoping that i can get out of this couch with a renewed energy to tackle the days ahead. Oh well, this is just a musing from a disgruntled observer.
