Reflections

I had a falling out with my cousin because I stopped
talking to her. She spanked my child which was unacceptable
to me. So I didn't speak to her for 4 years

Then last Sunday I saw her and I talked to her and
though I can't forget what she did to my son. I
just learned to let it go and moved on from that incident.

Then I realized that maybe that's the reason that I
was sent back to the Philippines.To fix loose ends,
fix the bridges and mend relationships.
St Therese once said that Where You are right now is where you are meant to be.
(Make sense!!)So I'll wait and wait till God says that it's time
to leave. Lately the odds are stacked against us. It's like
everything and everyone is pulling us to stay here. Even If I want
to go and leave.

And So I say Thy Will be done Lord!!! Thy will be done

Twilight

Yes!!! I've seen it and I really liked it.. I'm a big
vampire fan and I've read a lot of Anne Rice novels.
The story is not as complicated as the Anne Rice vampire novels.
The story brought out the inner teenager in me.
I felt like I was in high school all over again swooning
over the lead character. They made it simple and so sweet.
Very Uncomplicated!I know that there's a lot of nitpicking
when it comes to the book not being true to the movie.
I've never read the book but If I did. I don't think I'd
mind. I guess you can know by now that I really liked
the movie A LOT!!!

Now I can't wait to read the book and gush out about
Edward and Bella all over again

A message

Just when I started to fall in to depression again my best friend sent me an offline message.All this is just temporary. Patience is a virtue. God is listening to your prayers. Keep praying and remember that everything in life has a purpose and a reason behind it. God bless and take care. I know that God is working through her because she knew what I was going through even I didn't say it and she doesn't read my blogs.God is great indeed!!

Highly Amusing!!

Pondering

I know I may sound ungrateful or whatever but the
truth is I'm not happy here in the Philippines.
In all honesty i feel like I don't belong here anymore.
I feel like I don't fit in anymore. Initially I was
happy to be home and enjoyed the life the we left behind.
But after the novelty wore off I began to say what now?
What next?

Though I was only gone for 18 months.
I got used to the fact that we were on our
own and that we had to make our own decisions.
The move was the best thing we ever did.We
became a stronger family. Now that we're home
some people think that they have a say
as to how we run our lives.
I don't like it at all but I can't say it out loud
because I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
I don't want to be branded as ungrateful.
I'm so grateful for the love the help and the support.
In my heart I know that Philbert and I did what we thought is
the best for our family and I still do.
But somehow I find myself thinking about the what if's.

That's why I'm itching to migrate and to move
again to give it another shot and start anew.
I know that they say that there's no place
like home. But why does it feel like this
isn't for us anymore?

Joshwa's Latest Photo's

We had Joshwa's passport photo taken yesterday. It took
us 45 minutes just to have that passport photo taken.

Annoyed!

We were out of town last Sunday.
I thought we were going home the same day but
Mr Driver decided that we should stay overnight.
I was agitated because I wanted to go home.
After dinner FIL and Mr Driver
decided to have a few drinks.

Then for some reason FIL turned to me and
started talking and telling me things that
I'm not doing right. He was telling me how I'm not
doing it right in as far as how I run my household
and how lenient I was with the househelp.
Then he compared me to my SIL. why couldn't
I do it like my SIL. did it she had a big house
and she could handle her household efficiently stuff like that.
I was so annoyed because that was so unfair. She was a different
level altogether. I'm never gonna be as great
as she was. This was the clincher while my FIL. was
ranting his son sided with him and said yes I agree with you!
Yes she is wrong! He went on said I keep telling
the maid that I don't like what they're doing
and she kept defending them.
Whatever happened to if you can't say anything
nice then don't say anything at all.

Then MIL turned to me and said we're just saying this
things because you need to know. I hope you don't get offended!
After all the things that you said and you expect me
NOT to be offended.

I don't know if I overreacted by feeling this way.
I didn't say anything to them about how I felt.
I just didn't want to make it an issue.
I decided to cool off and not attend their
gatherings for awhile. If Mr.Driver wants to go he
can go there bring the kids with him or he can go alone.
But I'm not going with him.

Justice Is At Hand

We just received such wonderful news today!!!
God is so great!

Temecula man sought in fatal hit-and-run caught after car chase
By JEFF HORSEMAN
The Press-Enterprise

A Temecula man charged in connection with the hit-and-run deaths of a Winchester family this summer was apprehended Thursday after a car chase and a crash into an Upland house, San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies said.

Deputies in Rancho Cucamonga attempted to stop a car driven by Chad Isaac Huber, 31, around 4 p.m. after determining it was stolen, said Sgt. Dave Phelps, a sheriff's spokesman.

Huber failed to stop and led police on a 2-mile car chase into Upland, Phelps said. He crashed into a house and fled on foot, Phelps added.

Huber then entered an unlocked house, Phelps said. The home's residents ran out and alerted deputies and Upland police.

Officers entered the house and arrested Huber, who was bitten by a police dog, Phelps said. He is being held without bail at the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga.

Huber is charged with three counts of murder and hit-and-run causing death. Investigators believe Huber was responsible for a June 29 accident near Lake Skinner in southwestern Riverside County that killed Andres San Agustin, 48, his wife, Maribeth Pagaspas San Agustin, 36, and their 4-year-old son, Angelo.

The San Agustins were returning from a party around 8 p.m. when a pickup collided with the family's Chevrolet Malibu, driving over most of the driver's side length of the car, running off the road and coming to rest on its roof.

Police said another truck traveling with the pickup stopped to pick up Huber and fled the crash scene.

Just before the crash, witnesses reported seeing a large, raised pickup in the area traveling 75 to 100 mph.

Investigators interviewed the pickup's owner, Huber's estranged wife, who told them Huber drove the truck and sometimes drank at a Winchester bar. The bartender there told police Huber had been at the bar for about an hour before the crash and drank four shots, two beers and a mixed drink. Jarred Abatti, 23, of Banning, was arrested shortly after the crash. Police said he helped Huber flee.

Abatti identified Huber as the driver and said his friend was "obviously intoxicated," according to an arrest warrant declaration.

Following the crash, Huber called police to report his truck was stolen. He said he was vacationing with his girlfriend at the Sheraton Hotel in San Diego when his truck was taken, and he suggested to CHP officers his wife had something to do with the alleged theft, court records indicate.

Investigators checked with the hotel, which reported that Huber had not been staying there. Reach Jeff Horseman at 951-375-3727 or jhorseman@PE.com

Absent na Naman sa Scrap Event

I want to attend the scrap event on Saturday.
Kaso di ako makakaalis we have to go to Alabang
to fix something. Hayyy Sagabal ang social life
ko sa scrapbooking.I totally miss scrapbooking!!!
My mojo is slowly hibernating( as if may mojo
to begin with) Makakascrap din ako!! Sana naman
before mag 5 si Adrianne tapos na ang 1st year
of life nya.

Missing Ate

I miss her everyday. I wish she was still just a
phone call away. I miss the advice, the listening
ear and the laughter. I miss her so much.
The holidays are coming and I feel bad that
I don't feel the holiday spirit. Because I'm so
full of sadness and I'm grieving over her loss.
Honestly, I haven't started anything yet as far
as shopping for gifts is concerned.
Siguro man lang for the kids mag shopping ako ng gifts.

Wala naman akong regrets sa mga di ko nasabi.
Lahat kami malungkot na wala na sila. Ganun pala
talaga pag mabait kang tao talagang people would
be vocal about how they miss you and how much they
love you.

I miss scrapbooking.. Tagal na akong di nakakascrapbook.
Feeling ko paurong na paurong ang scrapbooking skills ko.
Was supposed to sell my scrapbook stuff. Ayoko na sya ibenta.
Naiirita lang ako kasi talagang binabarat ako. Wag na gagamitin
ko na lang sya. Kailan kaya?? Great question

Conversations with Philbert..
Philbert-- Dyan ka magaling
Me--- Bats her eyelashes at him.Magaling saan?
Philbert---Sa Spending! Shopping! Scrapbooking and Eating!!!
Me--what can I do?? Di lang ikaw ang may talent sa multi
tasking. ako rin!!!!

Adrianne will be on Wondermoms Again

I'm so excited Adrianne has another taping for Wondermoms tomorrow.Anabelle-LEIRA Rama in the making na ata ako.

Addicted to Plurk

I'm addicted to Plurk. I post first thing in the morning and post before I go to bed
At first it's kind of weird to be posting whatever it is that your doing.
Parang twitter ba??But after I got the hang of
it I really like it.Since I know most of the people that I
plurk with.May nagpost ng statement dun asking kailangan
ba i announce sa plurk ang isang sensitive na bagay.Parang
natamaan ako kasi feeling ko she was alluding to me.
Since sensitive is relative I asked her how sensitive is sensitive?
Hahaha!!! Talagang parang tinablan ako. Oh well I just have to be
careful next time about what I say or post for that matter.

What's In A Name

I just read Aggie's blog and I don't know if nakuento ko na kung
paano nakuha mga names ng mga kids.

JOSHWA DOMINIK
I really liked the name Joshua. There was no doubt that
yun ang name na gusto ko. But when I saw this baby
book. Joshua- Means Jehovah's witness.
While Joshwa means God is Gracious. The second name
was supposed to be Shane. I also liked that name
kaso naisip ko wala pala syang Christian name. So
I chose the name Dominik in honor of St. Dominic
Savio.

ADRIANNE MARIE THERESE
I really loved the name Adrianne there were
many names that I considered but Adrianne
was the one that I really liked. Marie
is my baptism name and In hindsight
after my SIL rin pala her name is MARIbeth.
Therese is named after St Therese of the Child
Jesus. I prayed for her intercession during my
very difficult pregnancy. Yeah I know that
her name is super long and she'll probably hate me
when she starts going to school.

Adrianne is Now Officially 1

I can't hardly believe that my daughter Adrianne is officially 1.
Where does the time go? Wasn't it just yesterday that
I was induced and that I was pushing and pushing
her out as if our lives depended on it. I even remember
that Adrianne had to stay in the hospital because she
was born a few weeks early. Her visitors were
Tita Grish, Tita Beth, Tito JR, Kuya Angelo and
Ninong Ariel.

Adrianne is such a blessing and I'm thankful
that we had a great year. I'm looking forward
to the years to come. Happy 1st Birthday Adee!!!

Even my husband became a fan. Maski medyo
pricey sya he was worth it. He knew what to
do with the kids na makulit.
Rating: 10

Give aways- Photomagnet- Booked thru Katrina Tan

I was a bit disappointed kasi she was late and although
she apologized to me and I accepted her apology.
I still felt bad. But it's all good. Kasi people really liked the
photo magnets. Kaya siguro ako naiinis na late sila kasi
mas maganda sana at the start of the party pero medyo
fresh pa yung mga bata.

Ryan Torres-Face Painter
Another stress free supplier. He was early and went to

Happy Birthday Ate Beth

People are singing
All around their tombstone
happy birthday

Sorry if thats a weird haiku
or if tama ba talaga yan. That's exactly
what we did. We gathered around their
tombstone and started singing
Happy Birthday! Today is Ate Beth's 37th
Birthday. It's still hard to think of her
in the past tense. I still miss her everyday.
Happy Birthday Ate!!!! During the time
that we were singing there was a white
butterfly fluttering all around us.
I'd like to think it's her and she's happy that
we gathered to sing to her.

They took photo's but I purposely didn't bring
my camera. I can't take pictures of the tomb
it's just too painful.

When will this pain go away?
When will this longing for her ease?
I don't know if it'll get easier as time goes by.

Joshwa is Jealous

Yes.. You read it right.. Joshwa is starting to show signs of
jealousy towards his sister. He looks at Adrianne differently this past few days.
Sya naman ang nang aagaw ng toys ni Adrianne and sya rin ang gusto
maglaro si Crib. Lately not just playing in her crib but sleeping
inside the crib. Buti na lang matibay ang crib ni Adrianne
When Adrianne was playing with Joshwa and she was
holding on to her kuya Joshwa really got annoyed and
screamed at his sister. Adrianne!!!

I was like grinning like an idiot from ear to ear.
It was like did you hear that?? Did you hear that??
He used a different tone on her. YES!!! Kilala
nya si Adrianne. Hahaha!!! Yes I'm so weird I know.

Thank God for our simple joys and cognitive milestones.

Squeamish

This is a very honest post some people may not
like it. So please if you hate it then don't read it.


If there's one thing that I can be really squeamished is
when my mom and I have the "talk"? Yeah I can talk to her
but not when it comes to intimacy. Imagine my surprise
when she starts talking to me about that. I know it's better
to hear from my mom than from someone else. But I would have wanted
her to start when I was a teenager. She never talked to me
about the birds and the bee's the flowers and the
trees when I was younger so her giving me this talk is
a bit strange to say the least. I also don't want her
using her and my dad as an example because that's even more strange.
I felt like I was 16 and in shock all over again when
she told us that she was pregnant again. I was like What!!!
you guys still have sex?? Funny huh? What's strange is she even
said if he doesn't get it from you he'll get it from someone else.
Thank God there was a phone call or else I would wait for the
ground to open up and eat me alive. Because if there's something
I learned you can't discuss things that go one inside the bedroom
with someone else. It's just too personal. I maybe a talkative person
but discussing that is where I draw the line. Well at one time I
probably did as a new wife but not anymore.

Paradise that is called Kawayan Cove

I just came home from this Amazing place called Kawayan Cove.
This place is nothing short of amazing. I really,really had a great time.

Here are some facts about that wonderful place.
It is located in Nasugbu, Batangas. They have an area of 68 Hectares.
From Makati you can get there in 2 hours by car using a helicopter
25 minutes and via both from Manila Yacht Club 2.5 hours.
One of the amazing things that they do is they practice
sustainable development which means that they
use just what they need and in turn preserving
the environment that can be beneficial not only
for the present but for the indefinite future.
Another amazing thing that Kawayan Cove has to
offer is the Meditation point.
It offers a 340 degree view of the South China Sea.
It really does invite you to sit down with
Your thoughts and to meditate and enjoy the
music of the soft breeze, the lapping of the waves.

Another Bloggers Event

I finally got word that I will be able to join another
bloggers event. Exciting huh? I really did feel bad
that I wasn't able to go to the Wordpress Word Camp.
I will post photos of the event. I can't wait.
Here's a photo of the invite:


Photo Courtesy of Anton Diaz of Our Awesome Planet

Went to Glorietta yesterday to have my GCash wallet
activated and loaded kasi magbabayad ako ng purchase
ko sa EBAY. Di talaga ako nadala mas mahal pa ang bayad
sa shipping kaysa dun sa binili ko. I bought a hello kitty
dress for Adrianne yung isa puede na itsura pero yung
isa mukhang fake talaga. Pero what can I do nag bid na
nanalo so I paid for it. While I was there in Glorietta
decided to checkout Frostings. I was so disappointed
siguro I was comparing it to Sonja's cupcakes. I know I
shouldn't pero gosh it was so so.. The cupcake was so dry.
The frosting itself was okay. Di sya matamis pero nothing
spectacular. I don't know kung wrong timing lang ako. I
even saw someone from one of my egroups. Nung una nakita ko
I wanted to say Hi but I'm not sure kung kilala nya ako.
She recognized me I said Hi pero di na ako nakipag usap
kasi punta pa akong Greenbelt on the way to Greenbelt
umulan. Grabe!!! Di ko alam kung ano tatakpan ko ulo ko ba
or bag ko. Baka masira kasi yung bag na ginamit ko
eh minana ko pa yun kay Ate Beth. Stayed in Indulgence
and met up with my cousin for Dinner. Sumabay sa Mama ko pauwi.

Boring weekend

It was a boring weekend because I was stuck at home.
I was supposed to attend the wordpress word camp but
unfortunately di ako nakapunta because day off si
Yaya si Philbert 9PM na nakauwi. Straight duty sya
Umalis ng 11pm Friday umuwi 9PM na sya nag out nung
saturday. What did I do? Nag scrapbook!!
Nagrereklamo na nga maid na makalat daw ako mag
scrapbook. Deadma lang ako!!Tinapos ang
Gossip Girl Season 1. And now Gossip Girl's voice
is in my head.. Parang last song syndrome!!!
Next thing I know I would start talking like her.

Finally

Naglakad na si Adrianne kahapon.. August 29,2008
4 Steps.. Hay in a few weeks maglalakad na talaga
sya. Malapit na sya mag 1 wala pa ring preps.
Delayed ang funding naiinis na ako at na stress
na talaga ako. Pero si Lord na ang bahala
I'm sure darating na rin yun. Naiinip lang siguro
ako I promised to pay the host last Aug 15 kaso
wala pa talaga akong ibabayad. Darating na yan
this coming week (Hayyy Please Lord!!!!)

I Won!!

I won a pair of tickets to Enchanted Kingdom.
Kakatuwa!!! My cousin and I will be going.
Exciting!!!

My 3 Minutes of Fame.

Scrapbooking was featured in Umagang Kay Ganda today.
We all had a great time. I know mukha akong tanga
kasi I was all smiles and wasn't looking like I was
scrapbooking. When they made us dance I looked
like an idiot. But still I really had a great time.
I enjoyed it. Vivian displayed my LO's and wow
ganun pala ang feeling nakadisplay ang LO ang
saya nung kinuha ko na nga parang gusto ko mag prisinta na wag na
nya tanggalin maski ako magbayad para idislay LO ko. Hahahah
Feelin ko ano!!!pero syempre pag nasa wall means Design Team ka
in my dreams na lang akong magiging DT ano. Siguro pag may sarili akong
scrapbook store ako magiging sariling designer ng store ko. hahahaha!!!
Syempre pa ang tapang ng loob ko itabi ang mga LO
ko sa scrappinmoms. Ibang level talaga ang mga LO nila.
I'm so honored to know them and to call them my friends.

2nd Set: 6 of my Layouts

Adrianne as a Frog

I saw this photo and I knew I had to post it.. Last week Hello Kitty Endorser
now Kerokerokeroppi naman Sanrio pa rin. Ang cute kasi indulge me.. She's
such a sweetheart!

Still Sick

Ano ba ito? Di pa rin ako magaling pero I'm feeling a bit better.
Thanks in part to Bio Flu and Tylenol. Yung lang ang pain & fever
reliever na di ako allergic. Nakakapag computer na ako ngayon
kanina talaga hindi. Di ako makakain wala akong gana.
A sure sign na may sakit ako kasi di ako makakain.

Kinakabahan na ako talaga. I'm really praying this is nothing serious.
Saka sana wag mahawa ang mga bata sa akin. Kawawa sila pag
maysakit eh. Will rest muna then go see a Doctor on Tuesday.

EB

Went to Pinoyscrapbookers EB.. Grabe had so much fun!!!
Its fun of having a community rallying behind you. Being
supportive with the craft. The B.I.'s hahahaha!!Love it!!

Pag uwi ko nilagnat ako as in ang taas talaga. Pinag enjoy lang ako.
Papahinga ako tomorrow and on Monday will attend the taping
on Tuesday for Umagang Kay Ganda. Theme: Scrapbooking Party! I'm so there.

I caught the flu bug last week and thought I was well
so I attended the scrapbooking EB last week. I thought I
was okay but I'm still not feeling that well. I still
feel like something is definitely not right I'm still feeling
"out of sorts" so to speak. I decided to go to the EB tomorrow
and just go to the Doctor on Tuesday. I'm kind of scared to go
to the doctor. Since everytime I go to doctor lagi na lang
may bad news. Hopefully, I'll be okay.

Speaking of scrapbooking I noticed that I have definitely
improved in my scrapbooking skills. I used to be preschool
scrapbooker now I'm at grade school level na. Do I think
I have what It takes to compete with the others? NOPE!
I just scrapbook for myself and I don't want the added pressure
of deadlines

Samut Sari

I was browsing at scrappinmom's website.
Ang gagaling ng entries. Level 1 palang sya.
Ay grabe ibang level na sila.Galing bilib
talaga ako sa talent ng mga pinay scrappers..

Then I saw what Bjay's manga looks like. Kamukha nya in fairness.
Kaya I'll show mine as well In fairness di ko kamukha pero
parang ako na rin.. hahaha!!!



Natetense na ako wala pa ang funding para
sa party ni Adrianne.. Since wala akong work
I'm relying on Philbert to give me the funds
that I'm ALLOWED to spend although totally
subjective. 2 months to go na lang. Hayy
Lord please sana dumating na po.

I'm off to another scrapbook EB this weekend..

And finally magkaka vonage na kami yehey!!!!
Will be able to call my sister all the time.

My New Crush

Move over na Ariel Rivera!!! Bakya na kung bakya
pero crush ko si Ariel Rivera since high school ako
lahat ng movie napanood ko pati palabas sa tv
di rin pinatawad. Pero since I have a
weakness for chinito guys. D ko mapigilan
kiligin kasi ang cute talaga ni Richard Poon.
My friend Grace sent me two photos that of
course I will post in my blog. Cute talaga!!!
Galing pa nya kumanta..

Losing a Spouse vs Losing a Child

I know I should be over this already and blogging about other things
already but everytime I remember it talagang naiinis ako. During Ate's
funeral someone told my MIL na buti ka nga anak ang namatay ako asawa.
Mas masakit mawalan ng asawa kaysa anak. What the??? Talagang nainis
ako when I heard that kasi true masakit mawalan ng asawa pero mas
masakit mawalan ng anak. Why did she have to downplay it just like
that eh nagluluksa kami. Kung kayo tatanungin ano mas masakit
Mamatayan ng Asawa or Anak?

Iisipin nyo mababaw lang ako and I should probably let it go.
I'm still grieving lahat kami nasasaktan sa pagkawala nila.
It doesn't help that our two families aren't okay anymore.
I should probably blog about that too but not
yet. I'm still sad because of this turn of events.
Have a good week everyone!

na nila Ate Beth. Parang kailan lang ano? Has it been that long?
So mayroon silang videoke machine. Ginawa ni Joshwa inagaw ang microphone
at kumanta. Kung mawawala Ka by Ogie Alcasid. Na shock talaga ako
kasi tinapos nya yung song. Then after an hour pinakanta sya uli
kanta naman sya kaya lang towards the end nagpalakpakan yung
audience nahiya si Joshwa ayun na ayaw na ni Joshwa kumanta parang na
conscious sya. Di ko na video kasi I was too much in shock. It was
like a miracle. My non verbal child singing a tagalog song.
I'm definitely a very proud Mom

Down with the Flu

Philbert and I got sick at the same time. Grabe!!!!
Ang sama talaga ng pakiramdam ko. Buti na lang magaling
yaya ko manghilot. After ko uminom ng gamot hinilot nya ako
and it worked. I feel a whole lot better..Sana lang wag
mahawa mga bata

All About Joshwa

Joshwa is finally starting to talk slowly but surely..
Pag kailangan na sya magsalita napipilitan sya.

Here are some examples:

I want Daddy Please!
Yaya I want computer Please
I want Iced tea please
I want water please
I want juice please

some are prompted pero at least nagsasalita na

Tapos pag nakahawak ng Magic Sing..

Kakanta ng Boys Don't Cry & Achy Break Heart
Yun lang kinakanta as in Boys Don't Cry..
Wala nang kasunod
pag Achy Breaky Heart naman ganun din.
Pero at least may improvement na

Adee is Turning 1

Parang kailan lang.. Adrianne is turning 1 in 2 months.
Where does the time go? She's growing up right before my
very eyes. At dahil mag 1 na sya eto na naman ako nag plan
ng party. Kaso wala pang funds. May hinihintay ako di
pa dumadating. Mayroon palang nang the following:

VENUE: Okay na booked pero di pa paid.
PHOTOGRAPHER: Okay na booked pero di pa paid
HOST: Okay na booked pero di pa paid
CATERER:Okay na booked pero di pa paid.

Gosh dami pang kulang.
Wala pang food carts na confirmed
Wala pang giveaways
Kulang pa prizes
May Save the Date pero I still need an Invite.
Was thinking of adding a bubble show
kasi gusto ni Joshwa pero bahala na

I know I can pull this off kaya lang nagpapanic lang kasi
malapit na eh. Ayoko talaga nang ginagahol sa oras.

have to learn how to use wordpress. I'm really
encouraging everyone to join and I'm sure that
while I will be learning something new I would
be able to meet new friends. So what are you waiting
