my life, my joy, my dreams
Have you ever experienced having the need to prove yourself to people? I have, and I’ve come to realize that when you believe in yourself and your capabilities, proving yourself to people becomes an easy task.
In a world where success and money matter more than one’s endearing traits, the need to prove your worth becomes more of a daily challenge than merely an assurance that you deserve whatever achievement or recognition you have under your belt.
Everyday, there are choices we need to make, choices that are either favorable or unfavorable, meaningful or useless. When we make a choice, we consider different factors, factors that influence the choices we make in one way or another.

To be happy is a choice. It’s something that we can do, something that we are encouraged to be. We can either bear the suffering or end it. We can either move on and face tomorrow or get left behind suffering from the wounds of the past. In the end, it’s all about making a choice, no matter what consequences we are in and no matter what limited choices we are given with.
Our Bacoor home, despite its small size, is slowly turning into a lovely dwelling for a small family like we have at present. Home improvement projects really do wonders to a home. As I’ve mentioned in my past blogs, our back extension, which we had improved recently, now serves as our kitchen. It’s tiny, but it has all the basics a homemaker wannabe like me needs.

For our next home improvement project, we plan to focus on our living room. If we’d have enough resources this year, we want to invest on luxury furniture. Not something overly expensive, though. We just want something sturdy and beautiful that would last us for years. It’s gonna be worth the money, right? Like one of those Marge carson sofas I saw online the other day. I can imagine it to be perfect for our tiny living room. Yes, our home furnishings have to be small for them to fit in our tiny living space.
I’ve recently switched to iPhone and is currently exploring its awesome features. I learned how to use this phone when hubby got one a few years ago (it was a 3GS, now he owns a 4S). I also owned an iPod Touch 4G before but decided to leave it to my siblings when I got tired of it.
iPhone has so much apps to entertain people. At present, I’m hooked on Instagram. Well, I’m not really hooked, I just enjoy staring at nice photos uploaded by the inspiring people I follow. Haha. Oftentimes, I run out of photos (and ideas for captioning) to share. But it doesn’t keep me from checking Instagram whenever I’m online.
She was at the ripe age of 25 when she had me in her womb. I was the eldest and so I was able to share a lot of “firsts” with her. I don’t remember so much about my babyhood but because of her stories and the pictures that went with them, I was able to see a clear image of how the early stages of my life unfolded under her care.
I have a close relationship with my mom. I guess it’s because she has always confided in me. She’s been brutally honest with me ever since. I love that trait of her. In fact, it was the reason why I also shared everything about myself with her. When your mom treats you like her bestfriend, you couldn’t help but do the same to her.
Now that I’m pregnant, I make an effort to reduce my stress levels. Stress comes from a lot of things, and you can never say your human if you don’t feel its presence in your life. While I have high tolerance to stress, I feel it’s very important that I don’t stress myself too much now that there’s a life developing inside my womb.
I rarely get stressed at home. I’m lucky to have a very kindhearted, patient and loving husband who, now that I’m having his baby, has multiplied the level of kindness, patience and love he’s showing me. I mean, what more could I possibly ask for? I must be a really lucky preggy wife!
