All That I Give is Given to Myself

To give is to receive is the law of  Love. Under this law, when we give our love to others we gain, and what we give we simultaneously receive. The Law of Love is based on abundance; we are completely filled with love all the time, and our supply is always full and running over. When we give our love unconditionally to others with no expectations of return,  the love within us extends, expands and joins. So by giving our love away we increase the love within us and everyone gains.

Getting and Giving

It is important to remember that we all have everything we need now, and that the essence of our  being is LOVE. If we think we need to get something from another, we will love that person when we get what we think we want, and we will hate that person when we do not. We frequently have Love/Hate relationships in which we find ourselves evading emotional Love. The getting motivation tends to conflict and distress and is associated only with tender time. Giving means extending one's love with no condition,  no expectations and no boundaries. Peace of mind occurs, therefore, when we put all our attentions into giving and have no desire to get anything from, or to change another person. The giving motivation leads to a sense of inner peace and joy that is unrelated to time.

Baby's Choice

Did you ever think, dear Mother,

As the seeds of me you sowed,

As you breathed new life inside of me

And slowly watched me grow,

In all your dreams about me

When you planned me out so well,

When you couldn't wait to have me there

Inside your heart to dwell,

Did you ever think that maybe,

I was planning for you, too,

And choosing for my very own

A mother just like you?

A mother who smelled sweet and who

had hands so creamy white,

A tender, loving creature

Who would soothe me in the night?

Did you ever think in all those days

While you were coming due,

That as you planned a life for me

I sought a life with you?

And now as I lay in your arms,

I wonder if you knew

While you were busy making me,

I was choosing you!

Mom-to-be

Your eyes are bright and sparkling.

Your cheeks have got a glow.

Your belly's being touched and rubbed

by people you don't know.

You're craving weird, exotic foods

and calories don't matter.

You can't remember life without

an elbow in your bladder.

You're getting medical advice

from everyone you see

Welcome to the joyous days

of Motherhood-to-be.

Together We’re Perfect

Since day one we've shared something incredible, something that most people only dream of. I had been searching for you all of my life. You have made me the happiest I have ever been. You are sincere, caring, loving man, and I wouldn't trade you for the world. I am so thankful and blessed that you loved me as much as I loved you, and that you made me your girlfriend.

Today we celebrate our 22nd month and I have cherished every moment since the day we met. I love you more and more everyday. Thinking about our future fills me with anticipation and excitement. We make the perfect boyfriend and girlfriend team, and I cannot wait to bring this little angel into our world. We are going to have an amazing life together raising a family. All of our dreams are coming true.. 

Don’t worry about the times that we will be tight on money, I know that we can make it through and get to that place where we’ll have all we ever wanted. We have so much to be thankful for. We will just continue to lean on each other, loving and supporting one another with all of the love we have, and we will be just fine. 

Our life together is already amazing, and together it will only get better and better. I will forever be grateful that you came into my life and made all my dreams come true. Together we're perfect, and I will enjoy enjoying spending the rest of my life with you. I love you more than words can say.

Life

Just remember, the same as a spectacular Vogue magazine, remember that no matter how close you follow the jumps: Continued on page whatever. No matter how careful you are, there's going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience it all. There's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should've been paying attention. Well, get used to that feeling. That's how your whole life will feel some day. This is all practice. None of this matters. We're just warming up.

Getting Over My First Trimester

Finally my first trimester is almost over, no more vommiting and i'm very much happy about it. I thank God because I have no cravings, di ako pinapahirapan ng first baby ko. On the 27th I'll be going back to my doctor again hope everything is alright and my baby is ok.... I also thank Jochled for standing by me and not leaving me in this situation especially now that we are living in one roof.

Excited much to buy baby stuffs to my little angel....

My First Trimester

During the first trimester my body undergoes many changes. Hormonal changes affect almost every organ system in my body. These changes can trigger symptoms even in the very first weeks of pregnancy. Your period stopping is a clear sign that you are pregnant. Other changes may include:

Extreme tiredness

Tender, swollen breasts. Your nipples might also stick out.

Upset stomach with or without throwing up (morning sickness)

Cravings or distaste for certain foods

Mood swings

Constipation (trouble having bowel movements)

Need to pass urine more often

Headache

Heartburn

Weight gain or loss

As my body changes, I need to make changes to my daily routine, such as going to bed earlier or eating frequent, small meals. Fortunately, most of these discomforts will go away as your pregnancy progresses. And some women might not feel any discomfort at all! If you have been pregnant before, you might feel differently this time around. Just as each woman is different, so is each pregnancy.

My Little Angel

Today I went to see my Obgyne to have a check up and so much happy for the result.. Finally the bleeding is gone and my baby is already safe, as I saw the hands of my little angel moving my tears fell from my eyes and I don't know why... Maybe because of excitement. I thank God for giving me this little angel that I can call my own... 

To my little angel I am very much happy to have you, while I'm still conceiving you  I just want you to know that me and your father (daddy Joch) loves you very much. We promise to take care of you and give you everything... Thank you my little angel for coming into our lives....

The Summer Heat Is On

Summer is my most favorite part of the year. Summer means long vacation, beautiful sunny weather, family trips and beach days! It is when people go places and looking for fun ways to cool down as the sun goes-a-sizzling.  But BE SAFE - wherever you wish to be or whatever plans you have.This summer we are going to Boracay I'm very much excited because it is a family trip gonna spend some time with them...

Here are some water and travel tips for you guys:

WATER:
Most basic tip: Learn To swim!!!

*Swim with a buddy, never swim alone;

*Swim in supervised areas only;

*Don't mix alcohol with water. Meaning, don't swim drunk. Alcohol impairs judgment, balance and coordination; affects swimming skills; and reduces the body's ability to stay warm;

*Pay Attention to local weather and conditions and forecasts. Stop Swimming at the first indication of bad weather because water conducts electricity.

TRAVEL:
The road to safe traveling requires simple precautions.

*Be sure to have a thorough safety inspections of your vehicle by a certified mechanic before you hit the road;

*When on the road, make sure you have enough time  in your travel schedule to allow for breaks every few hours;

*Don't use mobile phones while driving;

*Buckle up seatbelts;

*Put your child on the back seat. it is the safest side in case of a head-on crash;

*Keep supplies with you such as water, first-aid kit. snacks and medicines;

*Rest well before the scheduled trip;

*Say a prayer before leaving..

Have a wonderful summer everyone....

Thank You for the Past 18 Months

No word can compare

How much you mean to me

I don’t ever dare

To question the One Up There

For this love that both of us have

We both give ourselves chances

For the Love that once was not a success

We both pray that this could be

And Yes, in this time

That we journey together

As you and me ought to be

Loving each other faithfully

Months past, our love grows amazingly

Trying times we both conquered triumphantly

With GOD at our side

And He Alone in us ABIDE 

I can face tomorrow

And I am ready to bear any sorrow,

Knowing that you are always there for me

Surely, we can both go through it all

Only by GOD’s Grace….only by His Power!

Happy 1 yr and 6 month anniversary to us...

Early Christmas Gift

But I really thank God  for it and very much happy for the result, passing the exam means so much to me because I can go back to the judiciary and apply for a permanent position.. This is what I'm waiting for the long time and now it already happened.. 

Thank you for the early christmas gift..

Clothes From Being Mere Necessities To Luxurious Investment

Over the years, women around the world have been expanding their fashion consciousness and have developed a new perspective when it comes to their wardrobe. With the help of fashion magazines, designers, and the marketing and advertising that make the fashion industry thrive, women are now more discerning when it comes to what they wear. They now know the value in saving up for investment pieces that will remain in their closet for a long time. Like every other investment, these clothes need to be guarded. Arm yourself with the knowledge needed to make sure your fabulous pieces of outlive season and trends with these helpful tips.

VELVET

This is a luxurious fabric formed with a combination of silk, nylon, mohair and wool. It may be crush-resistant and water-resistant, but velvet needs to be handled with the utmost care.

WOOL

One of the warmest fabrics available on the market, wool is resistant to wrinkling and very resilient, but also prone to shrinkage. This fabric is renewed by moisture, so it must be washed carefully.

DENIM

Denim can very well be the most resilient of all fabrics. Although previously only used for work clothes, denim has now become a mainstay in the world of high fashion. It is a durable, easily washable fabric that comes in heavy and lighter weights.

CASHMERE AND KNITS

These are soft, silky and lightweight. In the case of cashmere, the higher the percentage, the softer the fabric and both types get softer with every wash. Because of how delicate the fabrics are, take note that deodorant, perfume, and hairspray can easily cause stains.

Rainy Wednesday

It's a rainy Wednesday and nakakatamad pumasok kung pwede lng sanang umuwi... hehehe Here I am stuck in the office watching cars passing by and doing nothing...Rain is pouring since morning and i think hanggang mamaya pa ito... Hmm sarap kumain ng champorado, lomi at uminum ng mainit na Milo don't drink coffee kc kaya Milo na lng. :) Ang hirap ng walang ginagawa nakakabato buti na lng may net at nakakasurf ako and update ng aking blog it's been a while since the last time i posted an article,  haven't visited my blog recently because i'm quite busy for the past few days... But now I'm back ready to share my thoughts and views, anyways mejo i'm not in the mood today bad trip kc may nabasa akong di maganda and nakakainit ng ulo.. grrrr I dont want to be affected but it's inevitable hope I will feel better na....

Joy

Don't let the devil steal your joy. That's one of the cornerstones of Joyce Meyer's teachings. I know some people get weirded out when the devil is referred to, because it seems so hard-core. But I've come to realize  that if we acknowledge his presence, we become aware of him and thus become better able to fight and suppress him and his works.

I wanted to remind myself of everything that makes me happy  so I created my own lists events, occasions, people and memories in my life because through this i can see how truly blessed I am.

Get Soup-Cozy

   

Meals are not complete without a bowl of flavorful soup. Soups are a mainstray at the table, instantly providing nourishing comfort to your day while completing your meal. There are many benefits of having soup added to your meals. Some like to drink soup for warmth, nourishment, while others like the fillingness it gives them. For busy moms, having soup around makes it easier to feed their children. Soups such as La Paz Batchoy and Bulalo are all-time Filipino favorites that are normally served during weekends due to their time consuming preparation. It provides every busy housewife with the convenience to serve these special soups even during weeknights dinner. 

Enjoy a complete intimate dinner with your loved ones with a bowlful of delicious soup...
