It's already Nov 2015, time flies so fast. Two years ago, our yaya for 4 months left us. At first, it was so hard for my hubby and I to wake up everyday so early to prepare the breakfast, packed lunch for kids, give my kids a bath, bring our Kuya Kiel to school, bring Ethan to lola's house, clean and wash the dishes after breakfast etc etc etc...
With that chores, my hubby and I were able to manage to do it on our own without the help of a yaya for 2 years and counting. I cannot do it alone without the help of my loving hubby. I super thank God for giving me such a wonderful husband who knows how to cook, wash the dishes etc. etc.. (it looks like it's my hubby pala who does the chores...hahaha)
This was our everyday routine:
4:30am-5:15 - Prepare breakfast, baon.
5:15-6am - Nanay's bath time then, nanay will give kuya a bath.
6-6:15am - Breakfast time with tatay.
6:20am - Tatay brings kuya to school.
6:21-7:30am - Nanay cleans the kitchen and wash the dishes.
7:30am - Nanay brings Ethan to lola's house.
7:45 - Nanay goes to office.
We changed our schedule since the start of this month. I will be reporting to one of the subsidiaries of Cypress located in Laguna Technopark (LTI) until Jan 2016. The location is near to our home :)
4-4:15am - Nanay's bath time.
4:15-5:15am - Prepare breakfast and baon.
5:15-5:30am - Breakfast time.
5:31-6am - Kuya's bath time and getting ready for school.
6:10-6:20am - We leave the house to bring Kuya to school. Yipppeee! this is now my new role, my son's driver going to school... :) Then, I go straight to the office (LTI). Wow! so early in the office.
6:21am - It's tatay's turn to clean the kitchen, wash the dishes, bring Ethan to Lola's house....hehe Love you tatay for doing this since we don't have a yaya.
I am blessed to have my husband, my partner in everything I do. I cannot do it on my own. Thank you and love you so much tatay.
Also, thanks to my in-laws for taking good care of our kids while we're working.
Thank God for giving me a wonderful family :) #blessed

My prayer....
"My Prayer....
Lord, give me more strength to face every challenge of being a mother.
I may not be a perfect mother for my sons but I am a God-fearing mother.
Please teach me to be more patient whenever they need me.
Please help me teach them the right values a child should be.
Lord, please give me more wisdom and strength on how to guide my kids.
To be God-fearing, respectful, have sense of responsibilities.
To honor the elders and be good to neighbors."
I saw this prayer from my draft list in my blog. I guess when I wrote this, I was challenged on how to discipline our kids because as they grow, they tend to answer back or should I say, they just express their opinion on things because they understand things more than before.
I still have the same prayer until now. I just want my kids to be good and everything will be fine as they grow old. I just want them to know God and keep it in their hearts that everything comes from Him, so be thankful to Him. Even they struggle, I want them to understand that it's just part of life's journey, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes you'll be accepted, sometimes you'll be rejected. I want them to grow stronger for them to handle every life challenges.
I am lifting this up to Him and claiming that my kids will be the good father/head of their own family, great husbands, cool brothers, generous sons and good citizens of the Philippines (or if they want to migrate, to be good citizens of any country that they want to live in. hehehe).
Amen.

Moving on....
This is the best time for me to move on. Do not dwell on the past, just move forward. You cannot change anything from the past but you can make a difference in looking forward, thinking of the future, planning for the next chapter in your life.
Right now, I can say that a portion of my life has ended but I am not losing hope that in God's perfect time, it will be replaced by a better one, actually, I'm claiming it will be the best one! It's a cliché, "Everything happens for a reason." The reason may not be revealed now but you will understand it sa "tamang panahon" (at the right time).
I may be losing my job but not the good memories I had with my generous employer, Cypress. I am so grateful for having the opportunity to work at Cypress, it helped me a lot in so many ways. I was able to develop my skills and I learned to believe that I can do everything as long as you do it with your heart. (#puso #gilasPilipinas) I had the chance to work with the great team, Internal Audit Team. I had the opportunity to work with a cool and generous boss. The sad part of leaving the company (or the company leaving us) is the reality that it will be hard to have the same team as I have with Cypress. Though I left the team to fill in a Finance position but I still feel that I am so welcome to the team. With that, Thank you guys! (#drama)
I had the chance to work with my current boss for 11 months now and with that short period of time of working together, I think we were able to build a rapport. So grateful that he appreciates my work as well.
I only had few close friends in the office, thankful that I have met these people.
Enough for the drama, I am now moving on with a positive attitude that everything is according to God's plans and will.
Again, "Everything happens for a reason."
