Bad Boy Complex

Some people doesn't get it why I always fall for the bad guy. Okay, let me rephrase that. I "used" to fall for the bad guy. Well, I used to have this bad boy complex. It is even if I  know that they are bad, I still fall for them. Well, each woman has their own reasons. It may be the popularity or the trend but for me it's different. 


I always have this belief that all human being commit mistakes and everyone has the capability to change for the better. Some people might disagree with me, (at times even my family and friends) but I always tell them that. Give them a benefit of a doubt and a chance to change. Sometimes, I tell them that this person just need someone to understand him.


Classic examples, wouldn't you fall for someone who's known as the bad boy from the block but would everyday write letters and compose songs for you?


(I often say, for him to do that, he has a good heart)


Wouldn't you fall for someone who will wait for you 8hours in the rain just to say he's likes you?


It is my optimism that really makes me fall for them. Unfortunately, my beliefs are also the one who led me to a broken heart. I don't regret anything. These heartaches made me stronger and wiser. I want to believe that I graduated with that phase. I rehabilitated myself from my optimistic addiction and try to think carefully not for others first, but for myself.


Moving forward.... No more bad boys for me 

Home Of Abandoned Angels

Angels are also known as "messengers". They can be a messenger of hope, love, peace or prosperity. My favorite angel is my son. He constantly reminds me the value of love and happiness. He never fails to send me the message of hope and peace. This year I am immensely blessed with so many good gifts, from new friends to new experiences. From new trials to new dreams. I wanted to start the year right by celebrating my 28th bday and 4th month in LOJ. I decided to visit a home full of beautiful angels, the Mother and child home of Virlanie.

With my wonderful friends' help. We were able to share some wonderful gifts for our little angels. From clothes to toys, books to toiletries and other necessities.

We met few mothers who just gave birth, some are still on their way. But what captured my heart is a room full of infants.

As I open the door, I found this charming little girl smiling at us. Strapped in her bouncer, she keeps on wiggling her feet.

Beside her is a 2 months ala Coco Martin look alike baby who is sleeping so soundly. I fell in love with him right way. I want to snatched him out of his bouncer and take him home.

Of course, there's more..

There's the twin brothers who were born prematurely. They were so cute with their little nose and ears. Of course, I remember my little nephew Gabriel.

There's also this adorable little girl whom I also fell in love with. Took a couple of pictures with her. She can be addy's little sister.

And who will forget about the bibo girl who welcomed us with her wittiness. She was holding her comfort bib the whole time.


We shared a simple lunch. I was so happy to see that the kids love their new experience with us. It was a simple and yet very intimate affair. I am grateful to have my friends with me that day. Of course, I am also thankful to my friends who share some of their blessings in their own ways. I know God will return all these things to you a thousand folds.

I left that home with a heavy heart because if I can only bring all of them home with me, I would. I just thought, how can they do that. I can't abandoned addy. Not even a thought of it.

Those little angels that I met are trying to send us the message of love and life, of sharing and giving, of contentment, appreciation and gratefulness.

We should always be grateful for what we have and appreciate what we have.
We should appreciate all things that we have, it may be big or small. Count our blessings and not our trials.
Let us continue to be Jesus to someone. Our little efforts will surely brighten up someone else's face. You may be surprise how it feels good.

I will surely visit this loving home sometime soon. 

God bless Angels!

Our Everyday Miracle

It's almost the end of the month, I am very happy to say that Baby Gabriel's 3rd month is just around the corner. Another reason to be happy is, February is just around too. It means he will be home soon. *yehey*


I want to thank everyone who continue to offer prayers for our little miracle. I used to call him 'One pound miracle", he already surpassed that stage. Now, he is my everyday miracle. As Einstein says, "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. I prefer the latter." 


Yes, He is our everyday  miracle. We still have a long way to go but through our prayers, we believe and claim that our little miracle will be home soon. Everyday is not only a miracle for us, but a blessing, because we were given another day to spend it with him. Each day gets better. Each day there is a new reason to be thankful for. Let's continue to celebrate life and love.


Baby Gabriel, you are doing a great job little one! I am so proud of you. Hold on still. Keep it up. You will be home soon! i can't wait to see you home my dear. I love you! Hugs and kisses from Auntie Ley and Addy.


Please continue to pray for my little nephew. 

A year older, A year wiser

I officially marked my 28th year of existence. I am proud it. I am not afraid of counting years because for me each year is a new crossroad. I don't see any reason why I shouldn't be proud of it. I have a stable job, a family who loves me dearly, friends who will always be there for me and also, I have my little boy who still surprises me everyday with his wonderful personality. I gained a lot with the previous year. New friends, new experiences, new learning, new achievements, new trials and new blessings. Everyday, I found another reason to hope and dream. My faith was deeper and stronger. I found my self again. I regained my self worth. What else could I ask for?


I am starting the year blissfully happy and excited with what's in store for me for the year 2012. The experiences and trials that I surpassed last year made me stronger and wiser. I want to thank everyone who shared their time as I go through my journey.  Thank you for the heartfelt messages and wishes through text message, phone call, facebook, email and even via snail mail greeting cards.


This year, I will give myself the gift of love, and renewed  self esteem. This birthday I choose to blow the candle with a full heart and with the confidence in knowing that I am a good child of God, daughter, loving mother and modern woman. Not in comparison to others and not because that will make others happy or like me, but because I’m worth it.


Thank you Addy for being spending mommy's day with me again. You will always be my greatest gift babylove.


Thank you for my family who celebrated my birthday in three days. Thank you for my Canada family who traveled to more than a day to be with me. Thank you for my US family who called, ym'd, emailed, facebook me with heartfelt wishes. Thanks to my family who never fails to surprise me every year, the efforts are much appreciated.


Thank you for my friends who surprised me in their own little ways. I am truly grateful to have wonderful friends like you.


Most of all, Thank you Dear Lord for giving me more than enough this year. Thank you for granting my simple wishes.


Cheers to inner peace, happiness, good health, career and love!
