HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

WELCOME 2006

(Fortune fountain yan from Dragon Fireworks, ganda noh..)

We believed na yung mga ganitong fireworks nakakapag-paalis ng mga bad spirits (or yung mga malas) namana natin yan sa mga Intsik. Sana nga 100% true yon.. Nakasanayan na kasi natin pero what is really important yung faith natin kay GOD, that's our best shield laban sa mga bad elements sa paligid natin. God bless us all..... and sana this year will be better than last year for everybody. HAPPY NEW YEAR ULI!

Sept.24, was a special day for my husband.... because it's his birthday.....

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DARLING
Thanks for always being there for me and to my family.
Thanks for the love, understanding and patience
(may natira pa ba sa'yo, sana marami pa .. joke).
I'm always praying that the good LORD will bless and guide you in everything that you will do and syempre good health".

Well for this day, syempre di mawawala ang inuman.. so ang menu, puro pulutan, like crispy pata, kulao, inihaw na bangus and tokwa't baboy ( ang dami noh?) para malasing agad sila sa pulutan.. he, he, he. Somebody gave a goat (pampulutan din). I also cooked special "Pancit canton" for my husband. As usual super pagod ako, until 12 midnight I'm still awake, waiting for the visitors to finish their drinks... My husband .. ayun bagsak na sa kama (naglasing lasingan lang yata eh).

But it's okay kahit pagod ako Im happy , I've done my part .. and I hope happy din ang husband ko because it's his day nga di ba.

Happy birthday uli, we love you (from : mommy and sean)

Our Wedding Anniversary

2005-10-28T18:19:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was our wedding anniversary (5 years na kami - ang bilis ng panahon grabe...). Last year we had a dinner in our bahay kubo together with our son located beside our house kagagawa pa lang ni tatay so sabi ko mas maganda d2 n lang kami magdinner instead n sa labas mas ok pa ambience, so we ordered food at Pilitas restaurant, buy 1 bottle of red wine and kwen2han kami tatlo until i got tipsy (hindi kasi me sanay uminom ng liquior).
And last night sa house uli kami nagcelebrate. This time iba naman... We watch our wedding video while eating in our living room (first tym namin ginawa) instead na sa dining area. And guess what is our menu..... no we didn't order in a restaurant... i cooked "tuyo" favorite kasi nang mag-ama ko ( my husband and my son) and chinese noodles for our soup. Sobrang enjoy talaga especially nung pinapakita yung mga pictures nung bata pa kami ni jay, sean keep on asking kung sino yung nasa picture, tawa ako ng tawa because jay keep on saying (pero nagbibiro lang syempre) na im ugly daw kaya di ako na recognize ni sean but my son said si tatay nya daw ang ugly kasi nga di nya makilala si jay sa picture. So that's how we spent our wedding anniversary ....tipid na may bonding pa.
Im very thankful talaga to HIM... sa lahat... sa lahat lahat sa buhay ko. Kahit na may mga trials... mas marami pa ring good things na nangyayari sa buhay natin.

Im not expecting.... Today is the schedule of the distribution of cards (school card) of my son. They have a short program also this morning for the top ten pupils of each class. Last quarter my son was fourth honor (we're so proud). This 2nd quarter his now 3rd honor (syempre sobrang proud talaga kami), I said im not expecting that he will go up, because the result of his test in Filipino was not that good, kasi akala ko he got the lowest but Im wrong mas marami p pala mababa ang nakuha. Im just really so happy kasi kahit na bata palang sya my achievement na sya pero sa kanya hindi nya pa alam na ganun na yung naibibigay nya happiness sa'min. Ang sarap talaga maging bata.

In life hindi pwedeng palaging maganda ang mangyayari sa'yo. Even if you think you'redoing your best to make things better, nagkakaro'n p rin ng gusot. But it's okay 'coz that's what life is all about. It's a learning process sabi nga nila and it's true. We learn from our mistakes and from the mistakes of others.

I do believed in the saying " You cannot please everybody". We're all unique - iba't-iba yung mga pananaw natin sa buhay..... you cannot push other people na maniwala sa kung ano ang pinaniniwalaan mo because they have their own will. Basta ako as long as wala akong ginagawang masama sa kapwa ko, why should i be bother.

That's the only consolation i can give to myself to boost my self confidence to continue my journey in life. After all this experince at the end of the day I can still say that "Life is beautiful". And thank God for all the wonders He had made.

2005-10-12T02:07:00.000-07:00

I just want to say "thank you" from the bottom of my heart to all my friends and love one's who share in my 28th bday celebration. Also to those who didn't come for some reason but still manage to greet me. To nanay, shes the one who cooked the food : "Salamat ho"
Most especially to our Lord... Thank you for the life.. for the good health.. for everything. May He continue to bless and guide us.

My husband's name is Jayson A. Cenizal or Jay to some friends. He worked in a brokerage company owned by Mr. Alfredo de Ocampo , Jr. We got married last October 28, 2000. So that means this coming Oct. 28, 2005 - 5 years na kami together. Fortunately we already built our own house beside my in-laws also in Brgy.VI Amaya, Tanza, Cavite. Right after our wedding God gave us na our wonderful gift, unlike other couples who waited very long time before they recieved their gift ours was just one click (honeymoon baby daw sabi ng iba).

His now 4 years old, we name him Sean Patrick. His studying at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary School - Nursery. As of now we're both busy in our work, saving.... for our next gift.... (Wish ko lang sana baby girl naman)

(Above : Sean while reciting the poem)

After the 3 days Quarterly exam of Sean (my son), his teacher told my mother that they choose Sean to participate in their up coming celebration of "Buwan ng Wika". His teacher asked him to recite a poem entitled " Sa Iyo Aking Bayan"

When I heard the news sabi ko, "wow, talaga!" (na excite ang mommy). Biglang nag-flashback yung highschool days ko. Kasi during those times, I also represent our class. Declamation naman ang linya ko. Kaya lang medyo nag-alangan din kami, kasi knowing my son, medyo may pagkamahiyain lalo pa pag marami ng tao sa paligid nya. Pero I know my son can do it. So I first memorized the poem then tinutula ko sa kanya until sumasabay na sya.

Syempre si Jay todo encourage din and its good to know na ok din magmotivate yung teacher na nagturo sa kanya. Nagulat na lang kami mga 2 days b4 the celebration, when we asked him again to recite his poem, "aba sobrang confident na ng anak ko".

Then i day prior to the Buwan ng Wika, we heard that it's a contest pala, hindi lang basta magpeperform ang anak ko. Medyo nag panicked ako, pero looking at my son's confidence, I said " tuloy na 'to, wala ng atrasan".

So the night b4 the contest, I asked him to pray, na i-guide sya ni God, para matapos nya yung tula nya.

We're not after the prizena, knowing that my son was the only one who got to memorize the poemand the only representative in Nursery, was good enough to say that we're "proud of him".
