Celebrating the Fiesta Day

fiesta presentation

A few days ago we celebrate the fiesta of our patron saint Sto. Nino which is celebrating the whole province of Cebu here in the Philippines and also known worldwide. We have here our Sinulog festival and participating the different provinces nearby Cebu City. We can see the whole coverage on television the dancing on the streets, two steps forward and one step backward we saw plenty of visitors from different countries in the word just to witness the celebration.

In an early morning we prepare ourselves going to the church even though there are plenty of people and no transportation going to the church for the streets are all rerouted and we need to walk for a distance just to reach our destination. Mom I’m tried in walking, my baby said. Ok son come here and I’ll cuddle you. My son is with me until we reach to the church, but plenty of people and we need to hold each others hand for it is hard maybe one is lost and it’s hard to find.

After we pray we went to watch the street dancing and we all enjoyed watching with plenty of people around us. The kids are very happy and we bought some souvenir items for each one of us and not a long time we went home and again walk until we reach our car which we park two hundred meters away

Influence of Children

Learning to play outside the house is a natural way of developing our children’s interests and to enjoy also their stage of being a kid. Some mothers as their kids grow up they keep their children inside the house and not to play with their neighbor hood. For me, it’s a quite different for my kids a gave them time to play inside the house but I let them play outside with their neighbors especially on the afternoon for it is also useful to them to developed their curiosity, dealing towards other people and keep the most enjoy their life being a little kids. For my perception in life is that we will never be kid forever so enjoy life while still young. But, I have a time limitation to them when they are outside the house, for over stay outside the kids maybe influence by their playmates the bad things which is I am aware of.

A mother also must be a good influence to their children, being a mom of two is not easy. Sometimes my kids fight with each other but it is normal to them all I need to do is try to settle them and love one another and the most important is that they need to say sorry for each other and promise not do it again. I love my kids so well but I need to hurt them sometimes in order to learn their mistakes

Business and Family

Business is my life. Even in my younger age I wake up with a business in my mind. Many people ask why I always go on business when in fact I have already the money, I told them that with out additional generating income that enter into my pocket I feel weak and useless. That’s why even I am busy with my children still I have an extra income like buy and sell, networking business, whole sale to the different stores and now I enter the mom that can work at home even in my extra time. Because I do believe that if we know only how to manage our time we can do everything that we want to do with a business, pleasure and most of all together with my family.

Working mom is not a hindrance in taking care of our kids it is the way of helping our husband to coup up with our daily expenses, because kids as they grow bigger their demands also get higher. So for me it’s a time wasting setting whole day with a friend chatting each other and nothing to do when in fact plenty of ways on how to generate income also to uplift our living.

A Mother and a Teacher

After class hours of my kids I pick them up in school and drive home. While driving home I ask them what they did in school and if they have their assignments to be done at home. Yes mom I have something to do because my teacher told me to cut pictures of different food groups, my elder brother said. Me also mommy I need to color the parts of a fish, told my younger one. Okay kids when we arrived home we will take our snacks, take a rest then we will study your lesson ok? Yes mommy my kids replied. We’re home I told them, so they begun to pick up their things and mess inside the car. I get their bags in the compartment and put in the room. So we eat our snacks and take a rest.

Okay kids time to study your lessons. We set in the table and begun to scan the notes, I am the one who hands on in their studies in the house for I want them to learn and not to be behind in the school especially in their academic subjects.

A mother can be a good teacher also without spending much money to pay for a tutor class to my children. No matter how busy mother I am still I have a time for my children’s education.

Departure of my husband

Saying goodbye to my love one is the hardest thing to do. But I need to be strong for the sake of our future. My husband is a seaman and it’s time to be back to work a gain after a long vacation, as of this moment he is now in Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Phil’s. For his scheduled departure, in spite of his busy hours still his hands on the phone and we are talking anything about us and about what ever, Mom, I need to go for it’s now time for boarding my husband said. Okay take care see you on the computer if you have a time to chat. I replied. A simple take and a love message ends our communication and the plane is now ready to go.

I keep silence for an hour and thinking for my husband, I did not cry as what other wife do when their partner depart, I programmed my mind to be strong and thinks for our future because if I cried even so loud nothing will happen and the situation remains the same. So what I did is open the computer and have time for my blog to keep my mind busy and take away the loneliness that I felt. My feeling is normal and I need to be strong for the good future of our family.

A Brother and a Friend

the brothers

It is a saying that ‘what we teach is what we have to learn is true, this is what I observed with my two kids in the house. They are only two playing in their room with lots of toys on the floor, they get the toy cars and they make a parade of cars with a parking space on the side as they are playing their toys I stay beside them watching what did they do and I notice that they both love with each others companionship. After a long run they are done playing and I told them that after playing your toys you must return it on the toy box so that the place is clean and you can proceed to your next game, so they both help each other to keep their mess. If we teach only to our kids what are the things that they need to learn maybe they can bring it up also when they are already old because I do believe that teaching in their younger age can easily be stored on their minds.

Both boys in the house as what I observed them is that they are like friends, they play basketball in our small yard for their father gave then a space for that game for they are same boys so they badly needed it. My kids love each other for they also love each others game. They are not only brothers but they are also friend.

Self-control and Responsibility

People are born to be a responsible one; we must learn to control ourselves in more ways than one. In my case that I have plenty of people that I meet everyday talk to them and sometimes share ides, but the people you are talking with sometimes they revel in their own glibness and sarcasm, they become mired in denigrating attitudes. Overly aggressive in their approach, and have a tendency to act preemptively and this risk they become a tyrannical and manipulative. The key here is to adopt deeply human values that do not permit putting oneself above others. And this is the most important that we need to teach to our children the respect and the responsibilities towards other people.

Sometimes we cannot presets our temper especially when people are very (mayabang) or boastful and we want him to fight or talk bad things to that person but we need to have our self-control just to be aware of trouble and maybe this is the key also to teach our younger ones the way of self-control and responsibilities toward other people.

A Fulltime mommy

I'm home

As years passed by, my baby’s are now kids they’re eight years old a five years old. They both now going to school, I send them in school at 7:30 in the morning and going home my elder at around 3:00 in the afternoon and the pre-school until 10:00 only in the morning. I drive them back and forth for I have nothing to do in the house instead of riding a school bus, so I am the one who hands on my kids from baby’s until now, I don’t give my full trust to my maids when it comes to my kids for it is different if me as the mother will take good care of them. That’s why it’s my choice of life to become a fulltime mom than to have work outside the house and far from my kids. Because for me my perception in life is that when I am already a mom I will concentrate my kids rather than work away from them, anyway my husband is working for our family and me even a full time mom still I have a time to earn also for my own and now I’m practicing myself on how to become a successful bloger in the future for I really want to earn even I’m only in the house.

There are many ways to become a busy and an earning mom but, it depends on us on how to budget our time. For me as a mom time is gold as what the sayings said that “time lost it cannot be recovered.”

The Reaction of his Elder Brother

Very excited my elder son upon seeing his younger brother just came from the hospital after I gave birth. He hug, kissed his baby brother and he is holding the hands that is so cute, my elder son is always beside the baby smiling and always playing if the baby smile he also smile, how excited my kuya(elder son) seeing his baby brother.

One early morning I take a bath the baby, and his kuya is also in his side, he is the one who put water on baby’s tummy, feet but not on the head area, he loves to do it very happy my son that he has already a baby brother. So we the parents are also happy and not mistaken to make another baby so that he has a companion in his growing age.

Before when he is still our one and only baby, he used to call his neighbor and play, sometimes he go to his friends house or his friend also go into our house. It’s a quite different if we have two kids or more in the house for it is happy and excited too.

Every time my elder son is always beside his brother and never go to his neighbor to play for h e loves to hug and kiss his younger brother.

Delivering my second baby

After nine months of pregnancy, it’s now the time that I’ve been waited for, the delivery of my second baby. Since I was in a caesarian operation with my first baby so now that I will be delivering my second baby so I decided to have a caesarian operation again. I t is now the date of my operation so my maid and I go to the hospital to have so me check-up and at the same time see the status of my baby if he is okay but my doctor told me to be confined now for an operation for the baby is about to go out. So then I ask my maid to go to the casher office to settle the bill for a down payment so that I will be scheduled for a caesarian operation, then after a few minutes the doctor called me that I need to go now inside the O.R (operating room) for the operation. So the staff assists me to set on the wheel chair and they brought me to the O.R. while going there I did call my auntie to come to the hospital for I am already scheduled for my operation, then my auntie get rush in going to the hospital and she is now the one who assist my needs for she is also a nurse in that area.

After a few minutes I was injected maybe to make me sleep until such time that I don’t know what did happen. It is easy to deliver a baby on a caesarian operation. I did not fell any pain during the operation process but the pain comes last, with no more anesthesias in my body I felt more pain in me. And I told to my self that two babies are enough
