Missing my soon to be mother in law

Mother in law - they are the mother of our spouse. The one who sees everything even the tiniest microscopic dust. The one who checks the sink for unwashed dishes. The one who pays a visit just to have the house and children inspected. Does it ring any bell?

All of the above description is the opposite of my soon to be mother in law, Mama Cristy. She is everything to my soon to be husband and to my soon to be second family. Unfortunately, she is not living with us anymore. May she rest in peace.

Anyways, one television show in ABS CBN 2 here in the Philippines, Please Be Careful With My Heart starring Jodie Sta. Maria as Maya and Richard Yap as Sir Chief, made me miss my soon to be mother in law. At one particular episode, Maya and her soon to be mother in law having a happy and fun conversation over the phone. Telling how they miss each other, how are they doing and things like that. At that time, it feels like that I am watching myself and Mama Cristy having that kind of chat. Believe it or not we are like that. Crazy, funny, hilarious, caring, loving mother in law. She is not the typical mother in law who sees everything. Because according to her (of course when she is still alive and kicking), she doesn't want me to experience the harsh treatment she experienced from her mother in law. She wants a home filled with happiness and love.

If you are having a hard time with your mother in law, still, love them back. Besides, she is the mother of your beloved husband. Whether she sees the bad in you, see the goodness in her.

I hope you are having a great time reading this post. Thank you very much and have a wonderful day ahead!

Happy Mother's Day

I know this is long over due but it is still the month we celebrate Mother's Day, right? So lend me your yes and ears for a while. May 13, 2012. The whole world pays tribute and cheers for the greatest woman of our lives - our mothers. Many names have been called to her. Mom, Mama, Momsie, Mamita, Mimi, Mommy, Inay, Nanay, Mudra or Mudang (in gay language here in the Philippines) but whatever names you call them it will still give a tinge of pride and joy when you call them. On this day, many send their greetings to me thru text (BTW, I'm already a mom). I'm thankful for it but I felt a little awkward. I just told myself, I am officially a mother. This is my first ever mother's day celebration. I greet my mama and she greet me back, and we laugh. We spend the day at home watching movies and eating what's on our fridge. Let's us thank our mom for they are the only person who will love and support us all the way. For us moms, always and forever give ou

AAAAAND IT HIT ME!

An advertisement of dish seasoning here in the Philippines that shows a wife (who is newly wed) having insecurities in her cooking skills because her mother-in -law (her husband's mother) cooks well. This ad knock me out, hard! big time! Though Charles and I were not yet living on the same roof, I'm having this jittery feeling whenever I thought about it. I'm afraid that I cannot equate his mother's skills especially in cooking. I can cook though but I don't have the guts or confidence as many call it. (How's that for insecurity?) Just a brief background about women getting married here in the Philippines, it is a culture and tradition that a girl should know how to do house chores like cleaning the house, washing clothes, doing the dishes, sew, fix, and most specially cooking and preparing meals for the family. As early as a young age, girls are trained and taught about house chores so when the time come that they are having their own family, they're

The webinar lesson I promised :)

Remember the webinar I promise to share with you? Well, here it is. Sorry for keeping you waiting. My apologies. Well, here we go! :) We had this online seminar or webinar last October 5, 2013, as our team called it. Our guest speaker is Coach JR who is also making a living in the networking or MLM arena. He made us close our eyes. He told us to have a clear picture in our minds of what we really want in our life. House, car, another business, a dream wedding, etc. As his explanation goes, envisioning your fruit, always before bedtime or waking up, or making a vision of what you really want keeps you positive and motivated to get it. And that's number 1, envision your fruit. Number 2 Accept it. Own it. If you picture something, let's say a mobile phone or a laptop computer, you picture as if it is.yours. This mobile phone is mine. This car is mine. Then you do something that will make it a reality (legally speaking). Me for example, I picture myself to pay the debt
