In United States of America calendar, it is already one day late when talking about the 16th date of January. Much more when talking about Philippine calendar since Philippines time is ahead of 15 hours this time. Hence, it is already two days belated. Yes, he was sometime during the 16th of January. Before I forgot, I say biological father because I have maternal uncles and grandfather I called "papa" just like how I called him. It seems like when they are all in one setting and I say "papa" they will all look unto me. Hehe! I can relate how I put a name after when I say "papa" (like papa Reyte, etc) because I have four people I called father excluding my fatherly-figure husband which I love much. Wonder why, why the three (two maternal uncles and a maternal grandfather I also called "papa" or father? Will talk that on the other post. For now, I don't want to spoil my greeting to my lovely father biological father. I owe him my life, if not because of him I am not here. Oops, there's a "though" word of that but I don't care because he loves me as just like his legitimate children. He actually there for me when somebody gives an angst word against me, that's because I did/does/do my best of being a good daughter to him. Whatever it is, I love my father because he loves me too. The journey of having no biological father with me when I was on my newborn to young years is not a hindrance of being a good person, of loving him despite of those journey without him. After all, he has made a "make-up" after we saw and in-touch with each other. To papa Reyte, "happy birthday" ! Have more long years to celebrate your birthday!

(note: this is a scheduled post)
I just want to greet happy birthday to my Dear Husband. I put it on my shoutout yesterday. Am not shouting as in literally shouting, alright? It's just a term. :-) Giving thanks to God for a responsible husband is something you would have to shout if you are on my shoes. I admit, he's imperfect as just like everyone else, as just like me. The point of this post is to thank him as well. A little post prayer to God to have him, more years to enjoy his life as well as mine, to enjoy as a family. Our family may not be perfect, my DH may not be perfect, as well as myself. Yes, he don't have a lot foods and goods on his special day but celebrating it as a family and being him healthy, I think made it such special birthday journey of him. We just have to enjoy life as it is precious, priceless just like our child. This birthday of him marks the first birthday having our bundle of Joy, our baby Sam. Happy birthday again DH!

Another Christmas season I am going to spend here in United States of A. This counts from four years ago. My journey isn't easy, it isn't hard either. I don't have regrets, it's only that if only, God spared the congenital defect of my daughter which nobody (yes, even my doctor!) knows when I was still pregnant. Oops! Not that way, nobody can question God, alright. It's just that I am in the modern place and one of the top country in the world (if not number one), why oh why? I could go on and on but then, it's too late to say it since it's already here. My precious one and only baby had her first open-heart surgery already to which, she will going to have other two to correct fully the defect, of course she can live a normal life just like any other child and can do stuffs like them, isn't that great? I am thankful that she's with us and very active one after such incident she had. She smiles, giggles, coos, babbles and even imitate my smiles. Ooh laughter's and tears bind together makes me complete. I admit, it is no easy one. I am the only one that can give her the milk and medicines. Yes, her daddy can but I am the one, primary one, who's going to prepare for it in time, sometimes, when DH like to help me. No family and friends to support me hands-on. And DH said he cannot afford for a nanny since we're just on an average-income family. And he has to work in order to survive. Imagine that! Okay, so much about it. We just have to focus the lighter note, what better to talk on anyway. Let's just have to focus the bright side that makes the equilibrium higher than the opposite one. I am so much blessed to have my baby love. And that makes me merry this Christmas despite of the other lacks. God is good! How about you, what can you be thankful for as being merry for this Christmas? Being alive is more than enough, so, we must embrace that! Merry Christmas everyone!

The biggest holiday of the year is fast approaching and I am sure a lot of moms out there are hard-pressed on completing their long list of things to do before Christmas approaches, and slowly doing a little Christmas shopping here and there to make sure they are finished with their list way before the month of December approaches. Gifts for the baby and godchildren, including nieces and nephews, check! Gifts for girlfriends and mom friends are also on their way. But, as always, mom struggles to find the perfect gift for the most important man in her life – dad!

I am sure, especially now that the times are hard and with the Christmas season looming near, moms everywhere are braving mall-wide, warehouse or thrift shops sale, in search of the most creative and special gifts to wrap for your loved ones for the holidays without hurting your pocket too much.
With that same mantra in mind, I was delighted to chance upon these cheap eyeglasses in one of those online shops I frequent. These products allow you to wear eyeglasses that match your fashion style or let you wear healthy prescription glasses at a steal. Surprisingly, these items are manufactured using the most modern materials and manufacturing methods. What is even better is that they bring the products directly to the buyers and consumers, hence, eliminating additional overhead, advertising or other related costs coordinating with middlemen will incur, therefore, giving the consumers best value for their hard-earned money.

Being a mom gives you a lot of stuffs to worry about. Day in day out you worry about your little one’s welfare – you wonder whether she’s feeding enough or sleeping enough. You worry about whether you are giving her the best care you can. On top of that you worry about your other motherly and wifely duties and function. Plus you have also got chores and other duties at home to add to that list.
