Married Life is Amazing.....

Being married for almost 4 years is amazing. Lots of ups & down. Lots of challenges and sometimes it's stressful. For the past 3 years that we've been together, we encountered lots of trials. There are lot of times I've been meanting to go back home and just leave him. But, you know what?? I can't do it. Even just to think of leaving him makes me cry. I feel like my life won't be complete if his not there. Even though we see each other everyday, I still miss him when hi's at work. Just to hear his voice on the phone makes me feel happy and hoping he's here with me. But, I know he needs to work.

We've been through lots of difficulties in life. And, I will tell you being married to someone is not easy at all. There are lots of adjustments & lots of patience. But, you know what I learned?? Those trials are just the way to make your relationship more and more stronger. It helps you realized how important that person to you. And, I believe, relationship won't be that great if you don't have any problems to solve because that's just the spices of your love, that makes your relationship more colorful and more meaningful. You won't appreciate love if you only experience all the good part.

No one is perfect. He is not perfect and I am not perfect either. But, for both of us we are perfect for each other. It's all up to us if we are willing to accept the negative sides. In our case we are both willing to adjust for each other to make our relationship more stronger. We are both patient if either of us make mistake. And, even willing to talk our problems and discuss what we can do to not have that problem anymore or how we can handle if ever we can't avoid that problem.

I believe our love is getting stronger and stronger everyday especially now that we have our daughter. Me & my husband enjoy her so much. I thank God everyday for giving me such a wonderful and loving husband & a very precious daughter. For me, they are my whole life. I don't know how to live my life without them anymore. I am too dependent on them. I just wish we will be together forever and enjoy each others presence and wont' get bored being together.

I know there's still lots of obstacle in our life that we are going to deal with: Anytime,Anywhere and in the Future. Problems is just around us, they are everywhere, only time will tell. But, I hope both of us will stand up and neither of us won't give up.

But, in general....I'm enjoying my life being married to my Mr. Right guy. I know in my mind and in my heart I am so lucky I have here in my life because I love him so much. God really bless me. :)

Fun Fun Fun.....Enjoying my time with my daughter...

 Having a lot of time with you daughter is really fun. It's nice I had a chance to watch her growing & even see changes on her everyday. She is such my lovely Winnie Poohy... I can't believe she's turning two already this October...Time really go so fast.

This is supposed to be her custome for Halloween. I just let her wore it just to see if it fits on her fine. By the way, she likes this attire a lot. Now, her name is Winnie Monkey Poohpy.... :) Gosh! I love her so much!!!

Having Problem Sleeping at Night??

Yes, I do... There are 5 nights in a row that I don't sleep at all. It happen to me few times already. I may sleep for few minutes but just woke up right away. I did try taking sleeping pills, even took 2 tablets in 1 night for few nights but still don't work for me. I don't know what's going on with my body but I just can't sleep...now I stop taking sleeping pills. It don't help me at all, it even make me feel worse when I get up in the morning.

There are times I can't sleep because I had a tummy ache, maybe from eating late...or maybe 'cause of eating spicy food... or it just hurt. Sometimes because I'm having lots of thoughts in my minds, something that bothering me....Sometimes I just can't sleep without any reason... maybe that's what they call "INSOMNIA"? I don't really know what you call that... I went to two different doctors already, they checked me but they found no problem in my body at all.

Now, my mom in the Philippines sent me a medicine. She said that's what she's taking everytime she can't sleep at night. She said it will help you relax & calm. It's the "Aspirin Aspilet". First time I tried....it's BOOM!! working right away. I fall a sleep & been sleeping good for couple nights. But, there's also a side effect, it will make your tummy upset everytime you take it, specially if you don't eat before you take the Aspirin.

So, I don't know what to do anymore....either not take the Aspirin at all & just accept that's just normal for me or take the medicine so you will sleep good at night & just endure the pain in your tummy.... really frustrating... :(

Making Money & Having Fun at the same Time is good!

Even just to earn a small amount of money as long as it will give something for you to do. You wont' get bored plus earn income at the same time.
Being a stay home mom & don't have any any income is not good. It's too bored, stressful & easily affected with any problem that sorrounds you. Yes, it's fun watching & taking care of your baby but you also need some quality time sometime.

So Why not think of something productive?? I came up on this idea..BUSINESS.....which always in my mind..I always love business. At first I'm having problem adjusting to it. But, as the time goes by and & getting used to it, it's getting better & better....

I'm selling lots of used stuffs in ebay. Any used clothes as long as somebody will get interested with it & can still use, it will sell. Trust me it will sell!!
I bought used clothes for my daughter & usually bought those clothes from ebay or craigslists or yard sale. After my daugther used it, I sell it back in ebay...and guess what?? I feel like I'm buying clothes for my daughter for free... 'cause after she wore it, I can still get my money back or even get more than the price of what I paid for. For me, it's fun & it's very helpful. It gives me something to do & at the same time earn money.

So, why don't you try it? You don't have to meet anybody in person just to sell. It's very safe & it's the buyer who pay for shipping....

My little Angel

Having a kid is the most wonderful thing that ever happen to me. My daughter makes my day meaningful everyday. I never get bored takingcare of her. For me, she's fun,loving, sweet little creature of God. She has lots of personality that will make you smile even when you feel bad, even in sorrow. 

Hearing a very sweet, mellow & loving voice from your daughter calling you "MOM" or "MAMA" or "MOMMY"...always make you feel like there's a butterfly in your stomach, even make you feel like crying. I never thought this time will come. From the time she's living in my womb, moving & kicking a lot, until now...she always makes me feel so loved & happy. Isn't that amazing how a baby live inside your womb breathing?? How do they survive for 9 months?? For me that's a miracle. Giving birth of her is not easy..very painful, scary and you don't even know what will happen after that but you know what?? it's worth it. I'm very thankful I have her in my life. I wish and pray I could enjoy this feeling my whole life but I think I will.

Wow!! Time really go so fast....can't believe my daughter is turning two already this October. I just feel like I just gave birth of her couple months ago and now she's already two... I hope she will stay sweet and loving as she is right now.

Takingcare of her is not an easy task to do. Waking up in the middle of the night, Feeding her, playing with her, bathing her, making sure she has everything she needs and all those things that you do to make her feel content and happy...everything I did and I will do are all worth it...I enjoyed doing all those things just for her.



How I Live My Life Everyday....

For me, everyday is a brand new day. There are routines that I do the same everyday over and over again but there are times I do different things. Yesterday is a different day...I get up in the morning. I went to Driving School office to enroll for a class. Clean the house. Spent time with friends most of the day and we talked about life. But you know what's the most interesting part?? During lunch time, I cooked filipino food ( Dried fish, eggplant with rice & of course rice) like what I used to when I was still in the Philippines. And, we ate it with our hands, it's yummy!!! The food really taste good specially if you have someone to share with. I hate to eat by myself..that's why I don't eat much when it's just me. Last night my hubby let me drove our new car just in the neighborhood area, just to get used to it. And, he said I did pretty good with it.
