Missing in Action

Hello Tumblr!

Did ya’ll missed me here? :p Well, I guess so… Been quiet for the last two months and finally I had this chance to blog about the highlights of my absence. First of all, I went back to my home country, Philippines for 6 long weeks (March - April) and I had a BLAST!

I had a great time with my husband and daughter. I once again experienced how it felt like to be a WIFE & a MUM, and it’s overwhelming. I saw my child’s first walk and I am so happy. She’s such an angel and a bright little girl. I taught her how to bless the hands of elder people (Filipino tradition of respecting parents & elderly), how to point her nose, show her tongue, count her fingers. She even knows how to wipe her mouth with a tissue after eating and it’s so cute. We played piano together & she loves the TOM cat application on her ipod. Oh, I love this bubbly kid. I am forever grateful for having her & my husband.

So, we celebrated my daughter’s 1st birthday and the week after that was her christening. We were so busy preparing for the stuffs and everything plus every day and every night was like a total nerve wrecking party with our friends. I swear, I was totally back to my old thirsty-party-animal body and we’re all having fun. Of course, we never missed the beaches! Though we were not able to go to Boracay Island (supposed to be 1st on the list of my itinerary) because of massive happenings & lack of time. No regrets still cos being with my wild & crazy friends is like being in Bora 10 times.

Oh, and I’ve finally met my cutie little niece (my sister’s daughter) and another nephew (my cousin’s son) cos I was in london when they gave birth. They’re so adorable. Our family is growing bigger. I had a quality time with them especially with my dearest sister and her two lovely kids. I love these people, entirely!

Holy week came and so my husband and I joined the Good Friday procession. We always do it even before we get married and it felt so good knowing that you did a little sacrifice cos GOD sacrificed himself for the love of the world. And during the Easter Sunday, we had the Easter Egg Hunting which is always held in Baldos-Sison’s Residence yearly. The children enjoyed finding the eggs and the prices that comes with it. My husband found one for our little Tannia and she got 50php for it. Yippppeeeee! :))

And the rest is history and I went back here to London safe and sound. Though I am apart again with my husband and child, I know I am doing this for the betterment of our future. I have a goal and I know I’ll be reaching it in a few cos GOD is with me and sooner, we will all be together again and will never be apart anymore. :)

GOD’s message for me…

On this day of your life, Monica, we believe God wants you to know … that you weren’t created to be a failure.
Message from God
Sure some things may not have worked out and there have been some disappointments. But all these things helped guide you in a direction that was meant for you. Your life has purpose and significance. Try to be patient if it isn’t all crystal clear just yet. For now, just know that you weren’t created to fail.

Live. Laugh. Love.

Sorry if I am not blogging much these past few days. I am just so pre-occupied with lots of things; positive and negative ones. But still, life must go on no matter what. We could only LIVE once in our lives, so we have to make the most out of it despite the problems that come along. I could still manage to paint a big smile on my face and crack a hilarious LAUGH with my old and newly found friends. Even though most of the time I am so knackered with my work schedule, I still find time to socialise and enjoy once in awhile. Trust me, it’s healthy. And of course, despite the rocky road that we’re going through because of the long-distance relationship that we have, I am still in love with LOVE and I am positive that I should, and I must keep loving life and its different views.

I guess the bottom line is just I want to tell the world that I am GRATEFUL for what I have, and I will always be HAPPY with whatever life has to throw me cos GOD is giving me all the blessings I deserve in his own perfect way.

vivatregina:

That you fall in love with someone who loves you—really loves you. (Or fall even deeper in love if you’re already there.) That you finally, finally fall in love with yourself.

That you breathe and allow yourself to be silly every now and then. That you don’t take everything so seriously. That you don’t forget how to have fun. That you never start thinking you’re too old for it.

That you have adventures, do things you’ve never done before, go places you’ve never been. That you work towards turning at least one of your biggest dreams into reality. That you turn “why?” into “why not?”

That you’re brave enough to make mistakes, and learn from them. That you pick yourself up after every fall, and stand taller, stronger, and wiser for having fallen.

That you learn when to hold on, and when to let go.

That you change someone’s life. Especially if “someone” is you.

That, by the end of this day next year, you have three hundred and sixty-six new stories to tell.


Happy new year, everyone.


A mother’s treasure is her precious daughter. <3

Feeling nostalgic after seeing this photo wherein I can still hold & cuddle my pretty baby Tannia. She was just 2 months old at that time & she was very active, trying so hard to communicate with her Mummy.
Few days to go baby, Mummy’s gonna caress, pamper & make everyday beautiful and happy just for you. We’ll enjoy every moment just like what we used to do. For the mean time, do not give your Daddy so much trouble. I know he spoils you too much, you little brat! :p
You know what babe, you are one of the reasons why Mummy & Daddy keeps holding on and will keep holding on for as long as we’re breathing. Despite all the hardships & struggles that we’re going through, giving up will NEVER be an option because of LOVE and because of YOU. When you grow older, you will realise how lucky you are because you don’t just have parents, but you also have best friends, acquaintances, clowns, playmates, mentors and everything you want & need from a mother & father.
We will raise you beautifully my lovely daughter.
We love you for ever… <3

This year, though I am away with my loved ones, I am still happy and thankful that we were able to celebrate the birth of Jesus in our own little way.

I had “Noche Buena” with my HUSBAND & baby Tannia via Skype (4pm London time of the 24th). We had exchanged lots of love, giggling and fun on the webcam. At that moment, I never felt that they were miles away from me. If I could only literally hug and kiss them, then I will be the happiest! But that’ll do for the time being. :)

Here in England, they don’t celebrate the Christmas Eve or Noche Buena, so obviously everyone is sleeping soundly whilst Father Christmas (Santa Claus) is getting his way inside the chimney to distribute the presents for not-so-naughty kids.

In the morning (25th), I had to go to work until 3pm. When I get back home, we had a lovely christmas dinner, just me, dad & tony. We greet Mama & our relatives in Vegas via Skype as well. We opened the gifts, cards and christmas crackers.

I’ve received pressies & cash from my parents, from tony & from our residents and employer at work. I still have lots of pressies to open from Vegas when Mama comes back in two weeks time (I can’t wait for my Clinique make ups & Victoria’s Secret stuffs).

Simple celebration indeed, yet it was all felt deep in our hearts. I really hope my husband and baby Tannia will be joining us next year.

Happy Birthday Jesus & Happy Christmas everyone!!! <3

You Belong With Me

I wear short skirts (high heels)

She wear T-shirts (sneakers)

Im cheer captain

And she’s on the bleachers

I remember someone posted this song lyrics on her blog way back rocky road time. According to her, she can exactly relate to this story at that moment. Blah Blah Blah…

And that’s how exactly Im feeling right now. Though I have to change the “SHE” to “I” and the “I” to “SHE” cos I really do wear short skirts and high heels. They are my comfort clothes and I oh so love ‘em. One more thing is that I was really a cheer captain/leader when I was in highschool and college (FYI: We’re the champion on the cheering competition during that time as well) *wink* It bloody fits me, yea?

Weird cos I haven’t heard this music for a long time and now, Im actually blogging this like she did before. Honestly, I hated this song so much (doesn’t mean that I hated Taylor Swift either) but now, I am ridiculously loving it and I could totally sing this on top of my lungs (or should I say throat? lol)… cos you belong with me-eeeeh-eeeeh…

YOU BELONG WITH ME! :D

Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la la&#8230; &lt;3

Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la la… <3

When I think of all the problems, hardships & challenges in life;

  • I just pause for awhile.
  • I cry.
  • I take deep breaths.
  • I pray.
  • I look at the photos of my loving HUSBAND and our precious lil Britannia.
  • I smile.
  • I pray again.

After all, my LIFE will always be BEAUTIFUL because of them. <3

*30 October 2011*
I have an early shift today but my body was freakin lazy getting out of bed. I think I put my alarm on snooze for 5 times. hahaha&#8230; That&#8217;s how lazy I am. I mean, I don&#8217;t really care If I&#8217;m late for work cos it&#8217;s Sunday, anyway. What does it suppose to mean? Nothing, really. I&#8217;m just lazy and that&#8217;s it! :D But, I still need to get up no matter what. And before, it has been done, I need to check my twitter first. No @ Mentions to me, so I checked my &#8220;Inner Circle&#8221; instead and tadddaaaahhhh&#8230;
My husband again forgot to @ mention me, but he uploaded a new photo of our baby with the tweet:

Mummy oh may ngipin na si tannia:)

Aw! Isn&#8217;t she just so charming?
I was all smiles and that&#8217;s how I am inspired on this lovely Sunday! :D
