Everything for my Kids

There was one point in my life wherein I became a solo parent to my three kids. That was the time when hubby decided to go abroad for greener pasture. But now he is back for good, we share responsibilities in rearing our child. Yup! you read it right; we only have one child ; my two other kids are from previous marriage. Luckily though, he also helps me in rearing for my two other children.


 Although I know my kids have the right to get financial support from their father; I did not insist in doing that. I have my pride and I know I can support my kids with or without their father's support. With God's grace, I have been able to do it for the past 6 years (my mom helps me out with their schooling--thanks Mamita!)

Eventhough I know it's my kids right to get their financial support from their dad, I would rather not do it unless he volunteers to do so. I am not the type who would look like I am begging for the financial support. They are my kids, they are under my custody therefore it is my never-ending responsibility to my children to provide them their needs (be it financial and emotional needs).

Many would disagree with me, but when I ended the relationship with my ex, I also decided to end hoping and waiting for whatever meager financial support he can provide. I am a woman and I brought my children out in this world; therefore I would take responsibility for them with or without a man's help.

PacMan Did it Again

Manny Pacquiao made another history in the world of boxing; he now holds 8 boxing title. No other boxer has made such feat, it is something that all Filipinos should be proud of. He won over another Mexican boxer during the fight known as "The Tale of the Tape"

photo not mine,

The recent fight with Antonio Margarito proved that size does not matter. It is how you perform and how determine a person is in achieving goal. Another thing that I salute about Pacman was the fact that he is not proud despite his achievements. That was shown during the fight when he kept looking at the referee to make sure that his opponent is still okay. Some boxers might use that chance to show-off their boxing skills, but our dear Kababayan showed compassion to his opponent.

He is a true epitome of a sportsman. Manny Pacquiao makes me say that I am still proud to be a Pinoy!

Btw, if only the referee heed to Manny Pacquiao's call to stop the fight during the 11th round, my hubby could have won the bet. LOL!

Saturday Sightings #02: Our Little Community

My Saturday Sighting is our simple community. This is our small community plaza and church. Our place is Xevera Bacolor Pampanga (owned by the controversial Globe Asiatique). Our small community has its own church, school and commercial area. This is where we spend lazy afternoon. The kids would just run around and enjoy the fresh air.

Mommy Moments: Favorite Color

This week's Mommy Moment's theme is all about kids' favorite color. Since I have three boys, I thank God that none of them like pink (whew!).

My eldest child Jet's favorite color is blue, since among his siblings he possess the not-so-fair color (Pinoy na Pinoy), we are having a hard time looking for the best color that will fit his skin tone. But then again, he favors blue

On the other hand, my middle child Gabby (my Golden Child - he has albinism) would fit any color. But amongst his favorite is orange and yellow. Most of his clothes are on the citrus shade.

My youngest son Jeon definitely love the green. His school uniform is green and he looks good in the shade of green.

Little boys clothes and stuff are not as exciting as the little girls. I am such a spoiler, I guess that's why God didn't give me a little girl; because it will be way too expensive to buy those cute girly stuff. I would definitely go out of budget most of the time. Have a great weekend.

Kids Enjoyed Our Anniversary Too

Since we live on our own, we have no choice but to bring along the kids wherever we go even during our wedding anniversary date. Last friday, 5th of November the kids were with us during our dinner date. In fact, they ordered their favorite dishes during our dinner.

Beef with Brocolli for Kuya Jet

Pork Sisig for Kuya Gabby

Pork Sinigang for our bunso Jeon

I thought that there would be a lot of leftovers after this dinner, but I was wrong! They were able to finish everything. Just look at these happy faces.

oops. sorry for the blurred photo (l-r: gab,jeon and jet)
