Today- June 21, 2013, I turned another year older.. and looking back at the year that just passed I can say that just like Loida, I also turned into Valerie Version 2.0: wiser, braver, stronger and more patient and understanding. Just like the past, the whole year too had its share of laughter and tears. Me being 30 taught me a lot of things. I learned how to be a better mother, a better spouse and these realizations made me a better woman inside and out because now, I am happier than ever.
As a mother. I became more responsible. I became less paranoid because before every time they would get sick I would always end up forcing my husband to bring our child to the Emergency Room because I get all rattled when they get sick. But now I learned how to do first aid. I know what and what not to give them when they are not feeling well. I enjoy being a mother now because my kids now play with each other, they communicate with each other and its easier that they also grew. For this year, my goal is to make sure that I teach them well in terms of: manners, religion and faith, kindness, sharing and loving.
As a wife. I would admit to you that I am a perfect example of a nagger. I would get so easily annoyed when my husband spends less time with me and more time at work and with friends. I had demands which were hard to meet and I pressured him to meet those demands. But one day I woke up and realized that I was wrong. I made some changes and practiced selfless love just for the sake of saving my marriage, and it worked. Now my husband and I understand each other, we respect each other, we honor one another and we are happily married.
As a career woman. I am blessed with the job i have now. I really enjoy what I do. I have a wonderful boss who is very compassionate. I have colleagues who respect me even if I am the latest addition to their team. I am thankful that I learned how to balance work and family.
As a daughter. My relationship with my daddy has improved. When i have worries I can right away tell him without any hesitations. My mama and I are closer than ever. We share problems and help each other if we can. I miss them both dearly.
I have really nothing more to ask for. I feel complete. Thank you God for this wonderful blessing of life. I lift everything to you Dear God. I cannot express in words my gratitude and happiness.
I like this hairstyle! I soooo love it! The length, the color, the cut, the volume, the style and the curl! Being the girly mother in me... i am inspired to let my hair grow long again and color it light waah! Hmmm... ang sarap lang maging babae! Ang daming kakikayan and kaartehan na pwedeng gawin sa sarili.
I wanted to go back to blogging so I again created a new blog.. I really wanted to use tumblr pero ang bagal kasi nya minsan kaya naisip ko balik nalang ako sa Blogger. Hindi na muna ko bumili ng domain and hosting kasi baka mamaya hindi nanaman ako mag blog... though I will try to blog as much as I can. Hmmm.. the last time I made a blog entry was when I was still pregnant with Shams (to think a year and a half na sya ngayon). As in sobrang tagal ko na hindi nagbablog pano kasi minsan nakakatamad and madalas wala akong time. So musta na ba ako? As you may have seen on my FB page may pinagdaanan akong something... but thanks to the people around me and most importantly to God, naayos naman lahat and everything is ok. I learned things in life and because of that I had the sudden urge to start a blog so I can share things I learn about reality. First entry nalang muna hopefully I will update soon.
