A Mom's Shoes


When I was a kid. I am always longing for my mom. For her hugs, kisses, presence..
She has been an OFW for so many years.
I can even count the moments we have.
But..
My mom tried to buy me each princes doll I love. She tried to grant every wishes I had.
But since she was all alone providing for our needs, she failed.
I feel so disappointed with her. I grew up without her and accepted our situation. I even never expected the time she decided to stay and take care of me.
We both struggled for the adjustment we need to do. I felt like I am with a stranger. I made myself busy with my work. Years passed and I had a family of my own.
I became a mom.
Everything changed.
I clearly can understand everything my mom went through just to make me happy and her effort to give me a comfortable life.
I am now in my Mom's Shoes.
Sleepless nights. Mom 24/7. Never ending chores. Responsibilities. Thinking about my kids all the time. Selfless.
This is what every girl needs to be ready of. We must start to understand every situation our mom is going through. Why is she like this, or that.
I cannot give everything my kids wishes to. I cannot afford every toys they wish they have. But, I made sure they will not have the thinking I had when I was a kid.
I make them understand and accept our life and be thankful for what we can provide, for what we can afford.
That without those expensive costumes and toys,
They are still a Prince and a Princess for us. And they are our only priority.

Bungang-araw / Prickly Heat Effective Home Remedies

It's summer. We all know, that bungang-araw/prickly heat is one of the challenges most of us faces during this season. My kids are one of those who suffers from that itchy skin problem. Here's a list of effective home remedies we have tried: Aloe Vera Gel - this one is very effective. We store it in the refrigerator. The cooling effect is very refreshing and it moisturizes the skin. Calamine Cream - it is to relieve itchiness as per our doctor. MoringaO2 Therapy Oil - our little girl's moisturizer since she was diagnosed with skin asthma. Very helpful, safe, and effective for the whole family too. Cetirizine - the doctor advised me to give cetirizine to my kids when they have skin problems to relieve the itchiness and prevent the kids from scratching. We use Allerkid for I think almost 10 years now. Avoid scratching. It will make the skin problem worst and open wounds will possibly cause infection. Kids cannot resist the call of scratching ...

He has risen.

This year's Holy Week here in Metro Manila is the one that made me feel like I am reborn. For after so many years I successfully took the courage to talk to a priest and made a confession heart to heart. I talk to God every night before I sleep, silently. I thank Him for all the blessings we have and for my family's good health and safety, but most importantly, for forgiveness. But I know, a confession with a priest is better. My eldest joined his school's event for their level's first confession and communion. We attend Sunday mass, and he's keep asking me why I am not having a communion. I explained to him that I do not deserve to receive the body of Christ. I told him many times that I must make a confession first. That is why I decided to do it before the Holy Week. I was also able to attend the Last Seven Words during the Good Friday and heard life sharings from different people. Their story moved me. It was my first time and it did a great impact to...

My Son's School Achievements

Five, my eldest started schooling when he was 3 years old. He already know the basic colors, shapes, and the alphabet before he entered school. The teacher was really amazed of him. From Day Care up to Grade 3, he is always at the class' Top 2 or 3. He is such a competitive pupil. He loves to join to every event they have in school. Especially in Science and Arts. He really is fond of everything about Arts. I love how dedicated he is in his studies. I am so proud of him. I see myself in him. I was also an achiever during my elementary days. Without the help of anyone. I received awards yearly. That is why, as a mom. I did everything to help him and guide him. I thought that making him focus with his studies and spending both our time reading his textbooks is the best thing I could do to help him. But I have noticed, it caused us both so much stress. We review his lessons every day. I make him a test weekly. Things became harder when I gave birth to her little sister. ...
