To Mom To Dad

By | Mother's Day, Today's Quote | One Comment

Though today is my day, being Mom, I would also like to give credit where credit is due.  i would feel so guilty if I took all the credit for being Mom!

This is the usual perception about Moms and Dads but in my family, Dad is very much a Mom and this does not hold true at all.  It’s probably the other way around with us because we all go to Dad/Papa and rely on him to take care of all of us including me 🙂  Not to mention all the household chores he helps me with!

James is a very very hands on Dad, he’s actually Mom to the boys since they were kids.  It’s so hard to raise boys because I could only relate to girl matters!  It’s a good thing Papa is always willing to help!!!! What would I do without him??moms-day-is-for-dad-1.JPG

From their haircut as kids and until this day 🙂

How could we have moved in the dorm without Papa!??  Papa takes care of all the educational matters of the kids!

The two boys and I are so lucky to have our Mom! 🙂   I won’t give him all the credit but I share the day with him.  Happy Mother’s Day to Papa! 🙂  We love you! We would be lost without you!

Choose Joy by Michele Soliven

By | Pink, Today's Quote, Tributes | No Comments

Michele is the sister of my friend, Yvonne.  When she found out she had cancer, she had a different reaction, she did not cry, she did not become depressed, she CHOSE JOY!  She chose to look at the positive side and she Thanked God for sparing her sisters and choosing her instead of them.  Now that is proof of how selfless she is.  

Finally, her story,  from Michele herself.  Listen to her!  The happiest cancer patient in history! 🙂  She’s a blessing to all of us because she is living proof that Happiness is truly an inside job and she has been propagating this message.  She is an inspiration to many!

Quoting from one of the messages of Pope Francis on evangelisation ( from my friend Yvonne ) ” Only the person who feels happiness in seeking the good of others, in desiring their happiness, can be missionary.  If I can help at least one of person to have a better life, that already justifies the offering of my life” spirit-filled-evangelizers-pope-nov-2013.jpg

One Flaw in Women

By | Today's Quote | No Comments

Sharing the One Flaw In Women ………. 

By the time the Lord made woman,  He was into his sixth day of working overtime. 

An angel appeared and said, 

“Why are you spending so much time on this one?” 

And the Lord answered, “Have you seen my spec sheet on her? 

She has to be completely washable, but not plastic, 

have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable 

and able to run on diet coke and leftovers, 

have a lap that can hold four children at one time, 

have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart

-and she will do everything 

with only two hands.” 


The angel was astounded at the requirements. 

“Only two hands!? No way! 

And that’s just on the standard model? 

That’s too much work for one day. 

Wait until tomorrow to finish.” 


But I won’t,” the Lord protested. 

“I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart. 

She already heals herself when she is sick 

AND can work 18 hour days.” 


The angel moved closer and touched the woman. 

“But you have made her so soft, Lord.” 


“She is soft,” the Lord agreed, 

“but I have also made her tough.

You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish.” 


“Will she be able to think?”, asked the angel. 


The Lord replied, 

“Not only will she be able to think, 

she will be able to reason and negotiate.” 


The angel then noticed something, 

and reaching out, touched the woman’s cheek. 

“Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model. 

I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one.” 


“That’s not a leak,” 

the Lord corrected, 

“that’s a tear!” 

“What’s the tear for?” the angel asked. 


The Lord said, “The tear is her way of expressing her joy, 

her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love, 

her loneliness, her grief and her pride.” 

The angel was impressed. 

“You are a genius, Lord. 

You thought of everything! 

Woman is truly amazing.” 


And she is! 

Women have strengths that amaze men. 

They bear hardships and they carry burdens, 

but they hold happiness, 

love and joy. 

They smile when they want to scream. 

They sing when they want to cry. 

They cry when they are happy

and laugh when they are nervous. 

They fight for what they believe in. 

They stand up to injustice. 

They don’t take “no” for an answer 

when they believe there is a better solution. 

They go without so their family can have. 

They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally. 

They cry when their children excel

and cheer when their friends get awards. 

They are happy when they hear about 

a birth or a wedding. 

Their hearts break when a friend dies. 

They grieve at the loss of a family member, 

yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. 

They know that a hug and a kiss 

can heal a broken heart. 

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors. 

They’ll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you 

to show how much they care about you. 

The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. 

They bring joy, hope and love. 

They have compassion and ideals. 

They give moral support to their family and friends. 

Women have vital things to say and everything to give. 

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, 

IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

The Best Trait in Each One

By | Today's Quote | 3 Comments

My other best friend, Rina, told me something which I can never forget and which I have adapted as well.  I thought of sharing it here with all of you because I think it’s a very worthwhile piece of advice  

 dsc_4646.JPG

She tells me that she gets bits and pieces of good traits from friends and people she meets and tries to imitate them.  As no one can really be one perfect person, there is always something good in each one and we should find out what that trait is and try to imitate those good traits to try to become a better person 🙂

 For me there are many people who I really look up to and try to imitate, but here are some who really influence my life and I am using them to illustrate this very beautiful advice my best friend Rina gave me
