I Heart my MOM :)

Posted on May 13, 2008 by admin

Tagged by Mitch and Yen. Thanks ladies.

This is a very very old picture of my mom and me. (october 1994)i think the only of us together. There was one taken in 2005 but it was of me, her, and my daughter – so i feel this one is better to be used. I love this tag — very timely for the mother’s day week. For more of mom’s tributes, you can check it out here in my photoblog. Though i have my own camera now, I don’t find time to take pics of us together but most just them. hehehe. will do one these days i guess.

Now am passing this to: Hailey, Amel, Juliana, Sasha and Rach.

All you need to do is post a picture of you and your mom (old or new) and captioned it with your photo editor with the words “i heart my mom.” Then tag your friends.

Great Mom Award

Posted on May 9, 2008 by admin

In connection with the upcoming Mom’s day event, this tag is going around the blogosphere and am so thrilled and excited to have it when Mommy Liz awarded it also to me. I am so touched for the gesture and made me realized that indeed, in each of us, there is always that “greatness” as a mom no matter what we do to make life comfortable and smoothsailing for our family especially our children.

I am sharing this award to everyone in my list – MOMS/DAUGHTERS/HUSBANDS – for ur mom and the mom of your kids/ SON. Please do so by grabbing the codes here.

Tuesday Toot – 3/22/2008

I made it to the Youth Congress Philippine Wide 2008! I almost missed it due to transportation thing. AT the last minute, the vehicle was not available but my spirit was up that I should go. Thanks to the Mayor, my mom allowed that I would go even it was already very late. I felt sorry for my other friends who were left behind. If I just had millions, even two thousand, I would bring you all to that get together even just for one day.

We arrived MVC at a little bit past 6 am and my it was cold. Hehehehe. It ws more than spring cold but I did love it!

Since the dormitory did not allow me to go into their bathroom for a bath, I was able to make it at Ma’am Carthy’s home and myyy she offered me (so embarassing) more than the bath I asked for. She offered me breakfast and also a bed to sleep an hour before I had the bath and then went out to the direction of the church with the aim in mind to mingle with friends. hahahaa. It’s Sabbath but going to church was the last thing on my mind.

I only stayed a day and a half there but I was able to met important people of my college days. I was able to bond with my college best friends (Helen & Maria Riza) pics will be posted later. I met up schoolmates and batchmates that I haven’t seen for a long long time or will never get to meet unless there’s a big gathering like the Youth Congress or Sabbath School Congress. I met up my teachers and wowwww they are so amazed of my size and I am so amaze because some of them become old which may mean am soon to get old too. LOL! My size has more tripled my college size and it really amazed them and it causes a buzz among my friends. hahaha. Hopefully next year or the next after next, I would be smaller. One teacher told me that I still 5 years to work out my health or else when I reach 40 – it’s either I die or be in a terrible disease. He is right. He is already old but still looks so lean and healthy.

So in all >> for my toot today >> I was able to bond with my college best friends. A thing we haven’t done since I graduated in October 1994 and left the campus in January 1995.

And by the way, I promised to meet them again next year – same place & date.

Am back! I mean at Tuesday Toot. I think it’s been several weeks i was not able to make a post for this meme. Today there are only few things I the past week I would like Tooting about.

# 1 – I was able to make a trip with Dimple and friends to some nice place without asking a single cent from anyone. Hehhehhehe. I can say this because travelling for leisure is not an often opportunity especially when it is a two person expenses instead of just me alone.

# – I had my first “speed boat” ride to the fish sanctuary and even i don’t know how to swim I was still able to peep on plenty of colorful fish under the water with just google lens. Don’t u dare laugh at me hehehehe. For someone who is scared of deep waters – that act is a bit accomplishment for me. Actually it’s not only me – it’s also Dimple’s first and most everyone in this picture.

~~the ride~~~

~~after a peep at Nemo. hehehe. notice my hold to the wood. am clinging for life.~~

~~ my daughter enjoying the waves the boat made. she doesn’t look scared at all.~~

# 3. With this picture, I feel like i took one of the most beautiful captures in the world and am so proud to share it here:

~~I love the blueness of the water plus the cloud reflection on the still waters. This photo was taken around 6 in the morning so the sea is real calm.~~

Happy Tuesday Toot, everyone!

The only thing I would like to be featured in my Toot this week is the graduation of my brother last Saturday. You can see photos here.

After many many years of going to school and after 3 children — at last he graduated with a degree in Nursing. I feel i have the right to be happy about it because for the past 2 years while being here at home, he is a pain in my neck and ass. Though I don’t support him financiallyoutright, but i was sort of the food provider and some needs of his family. He was not only a pain to me but to my mom as well and the most to my sister who is working hard to support him. I guess he was the most lucky person in our very hard up family — but well, he dserves that as he is in school. We are all glad he is done with school and only the boards to be hurdled late this year which we all hope that he will pass it.

We didn’t celeberate on his graduation day but we promised him a big celebration if he passes the board.

Tuesday has come once again and honestly, I almost forgot about this. hahaha as last week i missed this meme because of too much work to do. For today, same as last week busy but i had some time to post some entries and I don’t want to miss TT again.

The past week was really a horribly busy day for me. Yet, I arrived today feeling happy and relaxed and hmmmm how can I say it.

I have been in several situations here that I guess I deserve a pat in the back. hahaha! Really, it was not easy to be in my shoes thsese past days.

1. I worked almost 24 hours for 2 days and am glad i was still up until the accreditation started. It ended today and during the exit conference we learned that we have done well enough to pass for another visit on December 2010. We are all happy at work especiallly those who have spent sleepless nights at the accreditation room.

2. Last Sunday was the recognition program for the grades 1 – 4 in my daughter’s school and in spite of a sleepless night, I was able to attend and went up with her to the stage to pick her medals and certificate. She got a silver for her GPA of 91.8. Because of just one 88, she failed to get the gold. But even then, i was still happy because she was the 2nd student who got a line of 9 score in the achievement test which made her bring home a gold medal. I can feel I am a failure mom in many ways, but somehow my daughter can realize why I really want her to study hard. It’s not the good for me but it is always for the good of her.

3. After more than two months of writing about oppsss, I earned my first Hundred dollars today! hahahahaa. Although payU2blog & PPP has not (yet! i am not giving up the hope) accepted me, i still make some oppss from other affiliates. I really believe in “little + little would become Many”. hehehehe

Happy Tooting to everyone in the blogsphere!

My toot for this week is about my daughter’s accomplishments for the past week. It’s been quite awhile now that our TV has gone to the nook and only the dust is having a good time with it. It was hard at first for those who are at home and who were addicted to the tube, but after awhile we got adjusted. For my daughter, she garnered the 2nd highest in the whole class during the achievement test the other week. She got 90! Thank God or else she will not be one of the gold medalists.

And just this week-end, she joined her first formal recital although she was not formally enrolled to study the piano. She played her solo pieces well but did not play with her friend during the 4 hands part because both of them think they can’t fully memorize the piece. Even then, I was happy she made it. I took quite a number of photos and i thought of making a scrapalbum of it.

For more participants of TT this week, please click HERE. If you find that the last entry is still March 4 – then pls. wait for awhile. It will be up after some time.

Happy Tuesday!

What a blessed week I had inspite of the death of a relative that we buried last Sunday morning and a pending death of my mother’s brother whom we saw after the burial. I can still say though that death is blessing. And everyone should think it that way or else pain and suffering will never end.

I am so excited to share to all of you two things i am so proud of the past days.

# 1 –

I am able to acquire an Olympus Stylus digicamera at 4 mpeg. It’s an old one of my cousins and since they purchased a new one at higher megapixels, I got so lucky to receive the “passed-down” Love to both of them.

See my first shot:

# 2

This is very exciting. Been faithfully waiting for this for 3 months and now I have it! Dancing in Midlife Tune got a Google Rank Now! I have known about this the other day but was too busy and last night our electric power is out due to blasted fuse. So now, am so happy to toot about it: My 4/10 Google Rank! Isn’t that great! The button will be up in awhile.

My SEOmoz page strength also increase .5.

# 3

And my Life is what we make It blog still maintained it’s 5/10 page rank. A blog that I thought would forever be gone from me. There was an admin problem with it the other week and am glad to have it back last week.
