Not because I have a lot of money but because I am contented of what I have. I do not want those that I cannot get. I am happy of what I have. If I can have more then, that would be great! If not, it's still great!

I know striving more makes life more meaningful. But be sure to know where to stop. Or just can say "right here, right there" , I need to stop now or else, I have to go back from the start. From the scratch. And I do not know if I can get where I am now or remain as it is. Stopping because you already have it all, or you cannot go on anymore because you already contented of what you have, though, you don't have it all.

Which is which? Think if what kind of rich you are. :-) Remember, money cannot have it all. Balance it! :-)

We should always remember as well that we will have to take good care of ourselves first before we can take good care of others, so being rich for ourselves first so we can enrich others makes great difference!

Yes, I morning the night and I don't care, of what? I don't care sleeping, alright, I plan to sleep later afternoon when I can have more time, successive time, since she would have her last medicine in the morning by 12 noon with her milk and a little food then, the next is her snack by 3:00 pm or I can have it by 4:00 or 5:00 pm full. So I can have at least 4 hours uninterrupted sleep. I also need to have consecutive naps then to complete the 6-8 hours of sleep, at least 6 hours.

Why I morning the night? The first thing is I have to awake because baby Sam has a fever and I make sure I am always available when she needs me, in the daytime I think I can have my DH but not during night time. So, I need not to sleep. Secondly, I need to update my blog whilst tending her. Of course, she's the priority reason aside from tending my DH's sleeping disorder (yes, having bad dreams or alike). In this way, we're all safe and sound. I have to adjust my time. And so I morning the night. Am fine. I even smile like this: :-) and wink too. ;-) Ha! Good morning USA!

You already know that I have embark into a mommy. I have now my own mommy journey. Spending quality and a lot of quantity times with her is priceless. I've got to nurture her by my  own, and my one and only strength. Without family circles to help me can be an overwhelming job but I choose this and I tell you what, I never regret it. It's precious!

My pretty little girl is getting bigger and bigger each day, I hardly have time to keep up with her developments and milestones and here comes new ones. I am only too glad I was able to stay at home so I can witness all these wonderful little milestones that my little princess has. If I were still working, it will probably break my heart if I was not able to experience her first gooey smile first-hand or witness her first roll-over with my own two eyes. The little girl will be sampling solid foods very soon (actually had her first sampling yesterday) and I cannot wait to see her reaction to different tastes and textures. I am just glad I am just at arm’s reach to guide her every step of the way and to take photos, too!

I guess if you are a mom or any of us as life's sojourner, one of the best investment you can get for your family is a dependable and comprehensive health insurance. Imagine getting covered for when crisis arises like sudden sickness or hospital emergencies. It will save you a great amount of trouble, plus it will be one less thing to worry about, if you will enroll the family to a health insurance that is not only good on your budget but is also tailor-made to fit every of your health needs and requirements. Choose one that will cover hospitalization and professional and doctor fees, as well as the reimbursement of medication and prescription drugs, may that be in part or in full. You can probably check out this affordable health insurance site and see what they can offer you and your family. Find a plan that will be most beneficial to you without giving a dent on your savings account. The old adage, “health is wealth” always rings true, anyway and you best ensure that you and your loved ones are in the pink of health, or at least covered, at all times.

I love seeing myself being at home! Although sometimes I feel like so bored but then I guess for my situation now it is better to be home and not working in an office. I am not against for those who works. Just for my opinion as a mom. I want to see every moves of my child. Seeing her growing is a joy to a mother like me. Nurturing her is heaven to me. So everyday the routine is the same. Preparing and serving food for my husband and taking care of my Sam is a great job for me. I feel fulfilled at the end of the day seeing them happy and contented. In my life I do not need any luxurious things, all I want is happiness, joy, peace and love for and of my family.

What about you? What is more important to you as an earth sojourner, a life traveler?

I hope you all the best!

In almost every log cabin you will find a nice set of wood stairs. It is easy to do being that you are in a log cabin. It is also a lot of fun to build stairs. Stairs are more than just one way of getting from one level to the next in a building. Stairs are what people will see when they come into your house. So if you have a quality set of stairs people will have a good impression of you. So it can be very critical to make sure you build your stairs right. One of the most over looked portion of your stairs is the stair treads. Stair treads are the planks that you walk up and down. There are many different materials used for your stair treads. If your stairs are going to be covered with carpet it doesn’t matter what you use for the treads. Well, as long as you get some good solid materials that will hold up for a long time. If you stairs aren’t going to be covered you need to carefully pick out the best material that will match the rest of your house or building. Nothing to flashy but high quality is a good way to go.

It's past 12 midnight already here. Well, three (3) minutes passed, that is. Yes, it is and am still here. Why? Apparently because I have something to do in my lappy-toppy or do the updates. It has been long time (one week or less is already very long time for me of  having no online/blog activity. No worries guys because am still here alive and kicking. And never came into my mind to abandoning you, my blog. :-) Another thing that am still awake is that it's going to be feeding and medicine time of my baby love, hence, I have to wait or else I would be completely dozed-off already and you know what that mean. Yes, the medicine and her milk-time would be in compromise. Now, am going to boiled a water to let her bottled of milk sits to warm it. It is already time so I have to go. And so I can already sleep. Let's call it dawn/morning time. Whew! The Cacai's journey of being a SAHM. :-) Tired but fulfilling. I feel great despite of the sleepless nights, exhaustion and alike. Her smile and comfort is just an exchange of everything!

I wish to have a lot of time. Too many things to do, too many thoughts to blog but too little time! I wish I can buy time. Ooh well, but not this time.

Does, it rhyme? Or too many "time" ? Ha!

Alright, just wishing everybody a happy and sweet dreams. Time check: 2:06 a.m. and here I am just going to start my bedtime. Not all the time but most of it. Ooh well. Am not complaining much though, haha! Just kidding. Though I wish to complain but it's not reasonable. Just so you know it's not easy but again, it's not worth to complain. It just not make sense. :-)

And so the journey of being off to "la la land" just begin. Have a great one in yours there! --- Seems like some of you are in the middle of being in a sweet dreams. Others, may have bad dreams. All in all, it's just a part of sleeping journey. :-) It's just great having the first one, a sweet dream, that is. Smile.

Every 21st day of January (in Philippines' time) marks the birthday of my biological mother. Yes, the one who brought me into the world, the one who carried me nine months on her tummy. I am an illegitimate child and I don't know the real story why it happened as like that, oops! Just kidding. Yes, I know. And nothing but fate is the reason. Alright. Whatever the story of some other people (I don't know what's the story of my mother for me, but she just don't want to open it up, after all that was already long time ago and she has already her family without me, beginning when I was nine (9) years old but that 's fine, that's what it is. Every person has a story to tell but for me, I just have to accept the reality, the actuality and leave as it is, nothing I can do anyway but just to accept and move on with my life. Grudge won't help! That 's for sure. God is good and he lead me in a good way.), I don't care. This is my life. My lovely life. :-) Positive attitude attracts positive vibe. Alright, this post is for my mother, Gloria who is celebrating her birthday today. I know she won't be able to read this but I don't care. This is my journal, my diary, and so. My random thought, my journey. I have to shout to the world wide web just to greet her a happy birthday. "Isn't that sweet"?, you might say and I don't know what to answer. I just want to let her know that I remember her birthday and wishes her all the best.

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!

I am lack of sleep and I need to sleep. Hmmm... maybe I am still sleepy! LOL. Anyway, yes I admit I need more sleep. My busy days knock on me again. Hoping this week I can regain my sleeping period. I know it is just a matter of being organize especially when there is a baby juggling with a household chores. I just came to the point of searching out more disadvantages of having lack of sleep. I am sure it is not good but  I want to share what I found.

This is just a research made by me. This is also serves as a warnign for all of us. Read here! " Sleep disorders and chronic sleep loss can put you at risk for: Heart disease , Heart attack, Heart failure, Irregular heartbeat , High blood pressure , Stroke , Diabetes and more. " Scary but I just found it online.

As usual, I am hunting the Worldwide-web for possible gift ideas for friends and loved ones. You know Christmas is coming up. Giving gift is something a culture of everyone when its this season of the year. It is one journey of being kind, literally. :-)I bet you are also planning of what to give for your loved ones and friends. For me, hopefully, I would have extra bucks for such and everyone. Well, currently, I am browsing this in ear headphone reviews as I am considering getting some for my music-connoisseur friends as I said earlier, as a Christmas gifts. Almost everyone now owns mobile music players or mp3’s, even children. Would you believe, that I think it best to give them a headphone or any similar accessories that will go well with their latest favorite gadget. I hope I will stumble into a bargain so I can get several items at one time, I don’t think these items will come cheap! Don't you think?

 I would like to remind everyone that this blogs means a lot to me. This is where my journey's begin more than two years ago, though, it's just random thoughts written on here but it's worth it especially when you read along from beginning up to current . If I recall the day that I started to think and plan to start blogging , it was unforgetable one. I read a lot of facts and reviews about blogging before but then I don't have that strong spirit to start at once. Until one day that I decided to start and made this blog which is entitled Cacai's Steps and Journey originally and then a good friend of mine suggested to eliminate the "s" word after Cacai, that is why on my header the "s" word on it is kinda different from other letters,as you can see. Just like other blogger, we all say that blogging makes fun (and torture too.. ahemmm.. LOL! yes, torture if you can't blog because something's happen with the PC or the Internet!),  YES I agree!

I start blogging two years ago and nine months ago. Blogging for me is an outlet of my thoughts, sharing my experience and tips from what I had. It is not as just for fun, making friends and surfing online but as a sort of. I love reading blogs as much as I admire professional writers who can write long interesting articles, books and alike. I admire people who are creative in their own way of writings. Being a blogger doesn't mean for money. But of course I want to earn a bit from my blogging if it paid every single minute the time that I sitted in front of my pc making post and reviews. Yep, why not if I can do that way with the takes of life, thoughts, experiences I have/had?

Bloggers are some sort of media for news, events and other stuff online. Mostly I found lot of interesting stuffs while visiting bloggers page. Bloggers use to express their feelings and giving their best to get readers. But for me on the other side , I just write simply and feel sorry that I don't have much time to sit and make more posts periodically (but I am trying more to do such). Specially now that I am a new mom, so I want to enjoy every minute of my busy days to my dearest baby.

Well, no matter what I am still keeping my page updated and saying hello to my co-bloggers, family, friends and anyone interested of this blog, around.

Of course, it does not need rocket science to take on a sport now when you have been physically inactive all your life. You can either take on badminton or break a sweat through running or jogging. Or you can also sign up for your local gym to exercise, if you are too inclined. All you’ll really need is the determination and the drive, plus some cool sports stuff from surfstitch, perhaps, and you will be all set! And I f you are on a budget, you can even watch or download sports videos on YouTube and mimic them in the safety and comfort of your own living room.

One best way to stay fit and strong and ready to deal with the demands of the day, along with the tension, stress and physical strain that goes with it, is to be active in sports. It gives you more energy to go about your day-to-day activities and to unwind at the end of the day, so you can relax and be ready to take on your tasks head-on the following day. Sports also help you in keeping your vital organs healthy and give you a healthy mind, too! These physical activities not only keep your muscles toned and in the best shape, it also keeps you from diseases and ailments like high-blood pressure, heart failures and degenerative diseases.

Undergoing difficult times in life is one huge trial and Cacai M. considered it as spices as we travel here in the journey of life. Sometimes it is best to just be silent and let the silence heals its wound. It may not be as hard times for others but to one, it is. Nevertheless, it is a wound and let there be a cure. There is a reason for everything and one day at a time this one, can cope up and adjust what has should not, or at least on her past inner feelings. I know this one, should not get excited and should have seen the other side of the edge, but as said, never has it appeared it happens. Tests and exams were extremely fine. But then... On the lighter note, it is beyond science, I would just think it as that way. It is not good to overpower knowledgeable humans because I believe they are doing great and are amazing persons. In fact, they extended the precious little one's ... , and yes, they are amazing, the team are amazing! I believe, she'll be fine. Until then. Thanks for the prayers. 

(I know this is something's not a  direct intent of naming who and what, but please I like it this way. And thank you for understanding. If you are my close friend(s) and family circle(s), you already know what I meant or you ought to know what this meant. Thank you! And again, thank you for the prayers and everything!)

No matter how big your burden or problems or worries are, please remember that God is good all the time and that He never fails! He might have given you those loads to give you a lesson or to make you and the people around you an even better person. There comes a time in your life that you feel like you are stretched too thin or challenged way beyond your physical capacity or your means, but at the end of it all, you will realize that God put you in that exact position to tell you something. He might have wanted you to leave your old ways and start over a new leaf or to leave all your doubts and worries behind and put all your trust to Him. He might have placed you in such a predicament or dilemma to test you or to remind you that He will always be there whenever you need Him. God works in many ways and means that transcend all our senses and reasons, that sometimes even if it may seem difficult or impossible, you just have to put all your faith in Him and let Him do his works. As an old adage said, “where reason ends, faith begins,” sometimes we just have to let it go, and let God take care of the rest for us.

Yes, HE is in fact great, amazing and everything beyond and in between. We should offer our whole heart to HIM and trust everything we have and all will be fine. I absolutely agree! Everything we have now are owned by HIM and every little thing or huge has all reasons why it is there and we just have to widen our knowledge, have more faith as well as again, trust everything to HIM. Whatever obstacles we have we can make it if we have such, that's for sure!

It is usually a saying or a song quote of "Wake Me Up When September Ends" but mine is with a twist, and it is "Wake Me Up When September Begins" ! Yay! Only one word differ. He he! But then yep, that is what I am feeling now. It is already September, I just woke-up and thanks for patting my shoulder that it's already September. Hep! ;-) Today is the first day of September and officially a "ber" month already starts. To refresh, how many consecutive "ber" in a year??? Okay, September, October, November and December! So four! Soon enough it will be Christmas. Should you like to have a countdown to a happiest occasion (Christmas) of the year?

And more should I have to get excited during this first month journey of "ber" month? You bet! I will going to deliver my beloved Sarah Ann in this month midst. Hopefully, there's nothing complications and alike. Please join me in my prayer. Thanks in advance. 

What about you, how's your first day of "ber" month? I hope you are doing well. ~hugs&kisses~

August 28, 2011

I tend to write and talk for good vibes. Positive vibes, and how could I be happy in lieu of the negative happenings happened (or about to happen, there is always this). Looking forward on how to deal the situation optimistically. I have to calm myself first then do the thing it should have to. After all, we are not here in this life if we just have to suffer. Life is a choice of whether to accept what happened and move on. Never regret but always keep the lesson learned. 

We have a choice of whether to be grumpy, sad, miserable or be happy. Life is beautiful so we have to enjoy it. Rich or poor, we are entitled for happiness. But mind you, in simplicity, we experience true contentment but of course, it is great being fancy. The point is strive for excellence and know where we stand (in the community, to others, of ourselves) and most especially, know where to stop. It is just easy to say it, right? But then I believe, we will be equipped with what we deserve to know in due time and make it then as an armor in this journey of life. Yes, know when to stop! There's no sense of going if you can see that you will be lost.

August 18, 2011

Let us spread the positive vibe folks! We may not be happy all the time but we have the obligation to ourselves to at least not be worried most of the time. We are unique individuals but we have same journey of having obstacles in life that come and go. We just have to learn how to embrace and learn from it. It is hard I know but we have to survive. After all, there is always a sunshine after the rain. I believe, if there is still life, there is hope, don't you think? Now we have to spread that. If you think a person needs a word to comfort him/her, then go, and do not hesitate to give your heartily words of comfort. We are just temporary here in this world we journey, and there is no sense that we will not spread the help and comfort if we can. No monetary value can exchange for that. We just have to be sincere to the deserving one. And you will be remembered.

Spread the positive vibes! Love, love, love! Optimism, optimism, optimism!
