Last night was the first time I ever laid my hands on my little son Zian Seth and I regret it, but I explained to him why there is a need for spanking. (he is only 2 years old)
Zian Seth: Lord Jesus!
(hurriedly went to his dad so he can listen to Zian Seth's new words and vocab)
Me: What did you say anak?
Zian Seth: P_TA!
Me: (pahiya mode pero gulat to the max) Where did you learn that? (too late to control my hand)
Zian Seth: P_TA!
lecture to the max ang peg ng shocked na ina..... he repeatedly showered me with kisses to appease my frustration but I explained that I love him but that I didn't like what he said...
After taking his warm bath..
Me: Wear your pajamas na..
Zian Seth: kalain!.... (with talikod effect) and murmured P_TA twice!!!!
Me: ANO? ano sinabi mo?
Zian Seth: clapping his hands and said " Lord Jesus!".
*tumbling ako dun"
Zian Seth:B _TO
Me: ano nanaman yan?
Zian Seth: ToTo
Me: humay gulay.. sino sino kalaro mo???
Zian Seth: PINGOY!
Me: Aysus.. Dodo Pingoy pala.. kala ko kung ano naaaaaaaaaaaaa..
(may election jingle LSS ata si Zian Seth--di maka move on)
Parenting at its best:-)
Why I spanked him?
Proverbs 23:13 New Living Translation (©2007)
Don't fail to discipline your children. They won't die if you spank them.
my hubby Christian said --"he is so much like you.. every inch.. hahaha:-P".

Period of Adjustment
There is no such thing as perfect person more so, perfect marriage. I knew this even before I got married. A lot of those who are close to me said that after I say "I do", the adjustment period begins. It's no use comparing who we are and what we do for each other before we tied the knot.
What I am currently experiencing is heartbreaking, difficult and at times nerve wracking. I normally say to myself, this too shall pass.
Today, is one of those days that I entertain negative thoughts about my condition. I was hungry and it's nearly pass lunch time. I called my better whole to check what is in for lunch and he said the "usual". I then requested if he can let one house help bring the food over to my work place or instead he'll deliver some meal from fast food chain personally.
I used the sweetest tone I have only to hear "Hanap ka na lang jan sa tabi-tabi", to which I replied "I don't have money".
He then told me to borrow from my work mates which hurt me all the more.
He used to bring me food, cook delicious meals and even wait to give me ride home. But these were during our boyfriend/girlfriend days.
I shed a couple of tears.
Lately, I am being extra sweet but most of the time i feel rejected.
Just like last night, I asked him to sleep beside me or to hug me first before going to sleep but he chose to sleep on the floor. I don't know what is wrong with him, or is it with me? I once asked him, why don't we sleep together anymore? He said it's too hot.
(buti di naging Hot --UMINIT-- ang ulo ko)!
If this is part of this so called -adjustment period, then i do hope that we will become better couple after this.
I need to widen and deepen my understanding and love unconditionally and most of all dapat no expectations.

One Friend Less
I am deeply saddened by your death. You are such a genuine and sincere friend. At 28, you have so much to accomplish, dreams to fulfill and desires to achieve. Such a young heart yet a brave soul. You once told me how you managed to finish your college degree. When your dad passed away, and lately your mom and now... you of all people. May the good Lord console the ones left behind. Your passing is such a tremendous loss for us -- for me. Goodbye my dear friend.. Perhaps it is the Lord's will for you to have eternal light and peace. .. till then Yan Yan!

Backseat
I took a backseat from writing about my hullabaloo. I was totally consumed of mother-and-wife duties that I was not able to update my site. A lot has happened, including the indescribable feeling of happiness and joy towards my little son to the unfamiliar territory of marital obligations. Nakakabuang! Now that I am back on track, I hope I can post about just anything whenever I am free.

I'm Convicted
My bestfriend and i attended the afternoon worship service. And as i was listening during our Pastor's Sermon, i was convicted by the Holy Spirit and was left deeply troubled regarding my plan to take 2 months leave without pay, avail the maternity benefit from our company and resign afterwards.
As the growing war between my heart and mind continued, i called my one and only better whole after the sermon and seek his advice. I was at peace when he said that i should have tendered my resignation a long time ago.
I then spoke with my mentor and mother at the Children's Ministry Office regarding what was troubling me and she said "Which is better, the company's benefit or God's benefit?". She then asked what my husband's take on this. I left the office relieved and at the same time assured of what God wants me to do.
I was guilty beyond reasonable doubt and ashamed of how i lacked trust on God's provision and even on my husband's capacity to provide my needs and take care of me.
I was not only partially submitting to my husband but at the same time doubting his ability as the head of the family.
Come Monday, i wrote my resignation letter and submitted it to my Manager the following day. This is a huge sacrifice for me but i am rejoicing for i cannot describe the peace i felt after officially declaring my resignation.
My Heart's Prayer
Lord, forgive me for not submitting to my husband, for doubting your power and for acting out of insecurity. Teach me to be more trusting to You and to my husband as well. Guide my walk as i go through this new journey of being a wife and helpmate to my husband. May i find favor in Your eyes Father.
This i pray through Christ my Lord,.. Amen!

Hear Ye, Hear Ye!
I just can't contain my happiness, it's like my cup runs over with joy.
I have been praying for my stock options, even listed it in one of my personal prayer requests for this week-long Prayer and Fasting.
For my stocks to be vested, i need to still be connected with our company on my fourth anniversary. All the while, i was thinking that it would be vested during my regularization or probation day but Alas!, i saw that it reflects on the very first day i started working in our company. Talk about God, knowing the desires of my heart and answered my prayer this fast.
1 John 5:14 says:
"And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him"
What do i need the money for? It would really help me and my better whole for all the expenses to be incurred during the day of my delivery, moving all my stuffs from Mega Manila to Mindanao, new born baby things plus other miscelaneous expenditures while waiting for my big due day.
I really am thankful to God for answering my prayer, even if it's still a month long away for the vesting period, i believe that God hears, God listens.

A Must Have!
I'm still a few months away from my expected delivery date and while joyfully and painfully waiting, i really take time to read a lot about the progress of my baby, the changes within me and of course what to prepare when expecting an additional member of our family.
Aside from the discomfort of taking pre-natal vitamins and drinking Anmum Chocolate flavor despite of being a lactose intolerant lass, i dig mostly on what my baby will be needing as new born.
Blessed enough to have an officemate who shares her expertise and experiences as a new mom through her blog site, she also ventured into baby products business.
Last November, i jotted down my Christmas wishlist and one of which is the LifeSavers Diaper/Travel Bag. It's one of her best seller and a must have for me and my better whole.
I ordered one and might have it by tomorrow through personal delivery. What do you know--the comfort and luxury of being workmates plus there is no need to pay for the shipping fee.
Here's the product specifications:
Price: Php 1,000 (with FREE changing pad and clear pouch)
Dimensions: 15” length x 12” height x 5.5” width
Features:
-Printed Canvas
-Water-resistant lining
-Five (5) outer pockets
-Six (6) inside pockets
-YKK zipper closure
-Adjustable Cotton Strap with shoulder pad
It's to die for. I love the colors, it's both chic and posh, the design, size and pocket organizers. Here's my pick:
Can't wait to finally use it, but for the mean time, i'll put stuffs that i and my baby will be needing during the day of my delivery.
