On Mother's Day

By
If there's one thing I have to thank for my existence, is my mother. If not for her, I didn't get to experience what life has to offer. My mom is not fond of fancy celebrations on special occasions. I don't have any recollection that we spent mother's/father's day the way others did. I didn't even recall that my dad made it special for my mom or by surprising her with gifts. All I can remember is every mother's day we always give her letters which I don't know if she kept  some of it. She has always been a simple woman and I am her opposite in some ways. But I have always looked up on her and until now I still haven't figured out how she was able to manage to raise the four of us. That, I am so thankful and proud of her.

I spent the mother's day and our 42nd monthsary with the kids because J is on  a week business trip. Nothing fancy also just an ordinary day not even a queen just for one day. #wishfulthinking I had alot of chores to do but I spent the whole day trying to relax and spare myself from domestic duties. So the entire day we just had a lazy instant meal not even a take-out (whew). In the afternoon me, my sister and the kids went to the church to see Papa Jess and did grocery shopping afterwards. 

These are some photos from my instagram account:

I let the kids watch their favorite, Ishime (Einstein). I love how they interact with the video and the simple joy it brings. 

Me and the little monster at the church a bit sleepy already didn't care to smile anymore.

"What tat mama?" Then, he was already engrossed with the angry birds flashing on the tv screen at the grocery store. #nganga

One knocked out baby while roaming around the grocery. Tired. 

I am thankful for my kulit kids for giving me the opportunity to become a mother. I wouldn't be called a MOTHER if not for them anyway. For the joys and pain they brought me has become my strength to be a strong woman and mother to them. It also made me realize to be not only the better but to be the best I can be.

To all mom's out there I hope you had a wonderful mother's day. Cheers!

Myra Ultimate Dietary Supplement Review

Health is wealth. I have said this countless times to my children and everyone else. Now this pandemic reminds us that we need to take care of ourselves more since we are battling a virus. Aside from exercise, healthy food, and vitamins that we take everyday, we also need to take care of our skin. Even though we are at home most of the time, we must not neglect the protective layer of our body. I learned skin care through my mom who was health conscious too. She would take vitamins and supplements of all sorts and strictly follow a skin care routine day and night. She is my biggest influence when it comes to taking care of myself. I learned that in order for us to have a good glowing skin, it should start from within.  I came across Myra a few years back at a drugstore when I started working and began taking their Vitamin E supplement. Now they Myra Ultimate, a new product that I tried and here are my thoughts. One week of taking it, I noticed a significant change in the glow of my...

Purple Fairy Cosmetics Review x Giveaway

If kilay is life, liptint is life also for me. There was a phase in my life where I'd hoard every new lipstick in the market. But suddenly, I grew tired of it. BOO.   When I purchased my first liptint and knew how versatile it was for a busy mom like me, I had already a thing for liptints. In a span of a year, I bought several local and foreign brands and of course there were mixed emotions about it. There is just something about it that tells me still, they do belong to the same mother but unique in every way.  It is about time for me to throw some of it because I have been using it beyond six months already. Do not get me wrong though, I store my liptints in a cold and dry place (refrigerator) that is why, I could still use it beyond it's shelf life. Now it's time to hunt for a new local brand when suddenly I came across the owner of the brand I have been eyeing to try for the longest time.  Anyway, so much for blabbing here and let's get to the review...
