Warmest thoughts and best wishes for a wonderful holiday season!

         I want to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and Happy New year!

Mommy Moments - Christmas

It's been a while since I've written a blog post. My apologies to all of you. I've been busy for the past months and I didn't put much time and "energy"on this site as I wish I did. Frankly speaking I've been so sluggish and not inspired! But it feel so good to finally sit down and write again. So I would like to say thanks to Chris for the wonderful MM theme this week.....

 Mommy Moments theme for this week "Christmas"...

Only two weeks till Christmas and I can't wait for it to come. The Christmas decorations around me, the Christmas songs and all the stuff that reminds me it's Christmas; always bring a happy smile on my face. Those are a few of my favorite things about this season....

 Our Christmas tree is up and it looks fabulous to me!

Since the Christmas season is right around the corner, let's talk about "Christmas "

For me the magic of Christmas is the excitement of my children on Christmas Eve, when they see their presents under the Christmas tree and as they open their presents knowing they have got all they have asked for Christmas is absolutely priceless....

These presents are from Santa two years ago....

Christmas is a wonderful time in our house. My eldest daughter is 10 and my youngest is 8 years old but still believes in Santa, even though many of their friends have stopped believing about Santa Claus. I'm not sure for how long they will continue to believe it, but it is absolutely precious to see them get excited about Santa Claus .
This year they asked for an AKB48 stuff for their collection on Christmas. This is a hot ticket item for girls who loves AKB48 girl group and I wasn't having any luck finding it in the stores. My youngest daughter told me that she would ask Santa for it.... Good luck to me and H! Whew :)

My children get gifts from Santa still....

We wrap the presents from Santa each in a different theme for the kids. This year my kids has pink heart gift wrap paper.

May the season brings you new joy and the new year brings you hope, good health and prosperity.... Advance Merry Christmas to all.....!

Mommy Moments : White.

I'm back here in Mommy Moments. Our theme for this week is WHITE....

2010 Summer Fun activities..

"Hugs and Thanks and Lots of Love...For you MOM.."

Here's my favorite lines from this book..... 

♥ If I never had a mother like you, who cared enough to set me straight when I needed it...I wouldn't be the person I am today.

♥ Every day, you looked after us, worried about us, fed us, and loved us without expecting anything in return. You see, MOM, I know now and understand that you actually gave me two lives: My OWN and YOURS!!!

Forever missing you Mom... I love you!


Join us here in Mommy Moments. Have a wonderful weekend.....

8.9 magnitude earthquake the most terrifying experience of my life...

 Pray for Japan

Quick Post!!! A shocking 8.9 magnitude earthquake rocked the east cost of Japan last Friday March 11, 2011.... I guess one of the largest earthquake ever recorded in Japan which triggered a huge tsunami, has killed hundreds of people left thousands are still missing.. I had gotten used to earthquakes during 9 years in Japan but never experience what I felt last Friday. Grabe!! I thought that things were coming to an end parang movie ng 2012 . Geeze! Never felt so terrified throughout my life ngayon lang talaga....

8.9 magnitude earthquake the most terrifying experience of my life...

.

Hubby and I went out for lunch in Cafe Sion when a shocking earthquake rocked the northeast cost of Japan. Hindi namin pinansin yung unang tremor, we thought it was a normal passing earthquake lang not until a strong aftershock rattled that lasted for about 4 to 5 minutes. Grabe, that was the time na lahat ng nasa loob ng cafe nag panic, so I went out on a street immediately, joining the people from the surrounding buildings. We are there on the sidewalk street, some of us were crying and screaming already. The first thing na pumasok sa isip ko was to pray. After I said my prayers hinanap ko kaagad ang asawa ko nung nag pa-panic na ang lahat yun pala naiwan sa loob ng cafe para tulungan yung  ibang staff ng cafe na hawakan yung ibang gamit na maaaring bumagsak.. Grabe nagpaka bayani si hubby!!!So eto na, while we were outside the cafe another strong aftershocks.... Buildings was swaying for about 30~ 40 seconds it was visibly shaking, the staircase from the other building had all just run down loudly ratting against it's side. Gosh! I never thought the panic I felt that time started to run to fear na......
I can't hardly sleep these past few days. We are now experiencing a nuclear catastrophe and more aftershocks every half hour or less, rolling blackouts since yesterday pa and it looks like the news of radiation leak at the Fukushima nuclear plant has sparked panic buying in Tokyo and other cities... Oh my Gosh I hope maging maayos na lahat.... Let's continue to pray for Japan, we need all your prayers!!

You are one in a million!

Your love is matched by no other. I thank God for his greatest blessing; making you my mom.

~One in a million~

I've been brought up by a wonderful and caring mother, a mother who would wish all the world for her children, a mother who would ensure her kids happiness and safety. That's my mom! She's my biggest fan, my confidante, my best and true friend. She saw sunshine through rain and good in the midst of bad; she was one in a million.
Now that she is gone, I realize I will never come close to being the wonderful person she was, she dedicated her life for us, she didn't ask for anything she was an amazing woman. My mom did everything possible to make my world a beautiful place to live in. One thing is for sure. I'll never be the same and will never feel whole again.
I miss you mom! The warmth of your hands, when you held mine. The giggle of your laugh, the look in your eyes, saying I'm here for you.. Every time I think about you mom makes me love you more each day! Good bye mom I love you with all my heart.
