HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM!

                 

         Months before her big day,  I was really thinking of something special how to celebrate her 60th. Initially I was wondering if we could travel again since she would always tell me "Ayoko na mag party, stressful mapapagod lang kayo". I know I could bring Mommy and Daddy to whichever place they want to go but I don't want to be a selfish daughter not to celebrate her day with the whole family. After the conversation with the siblings in our secret group chat in fb, we finally decided to just give her a surprise dinner party. Ta-da! The birthday surprise was a success! 

Sharing a few snaps of that precious moment: 

                       

                  

I hope you enjoyed your birthday Mommy! Words are not enough to express how much I love you.  I want you to know that I am always here for you, for the whole family. I wouldn't mind being the spoiler daughter-clingy bunso as I am right now, and I want you to know I will not regret anything I have done just to return all the favors you did for me and for this family. Thank you for being the stronghold of our home, for always teaching us the value of family, for the faith that you have and always teaching us to just pray for everything, just like your name 'MARIA' your unconditional love like MAMA MARY is immeasurable and unquestionable. I always pray for your good health, inner peace and joy. I know God is always guiding you back home. I love you forever!


PS Welcome to senior citizens club! haha may discount ka na din. yay!

                     A strong woman doesn't need a man to make her happy but a wise woman will accept a man's love to grow.

          To the guy wga, the one who tried but didn't have the courage to pursue, to the guy who will be willing to take the risk, this one's for you. 

            A lot of people who are wondering/asking  "Bakit wala ka pa bf?!" Honestly, I don't know anymore how to answer that in the simplest way I could explain it. And to tell you frankly, it pissed me off that you keep on repeating the same comments as if being single is a disease. Okay let me get straight to my point, maybe because after 5 long years I already gained the state of my so called "comfort zone"---no complications, no heartaches, as they say "steady lang." And amidst of being alone, I found the true essence of being independent, I found myself being a strong woman I didn't know will be possible. And sometimes, I feel like I'm scared now to enter a relationship, to take the risk of being hurt again. Scary! Yes you can hear me now admitting "I'm scared of falling in love again" Gaga kasi ako magmahal.🙊😅

           To the guy wga, I think I scared you and I am sorry for that. Sorry for the "strong image" I showed you, for getting too excited about the dating status (would you blame me for that?!) READ THIS! Rule no. 1 WAG PAASA AT WAG PA FALL. It's okay, that means we're just not meant to be and you can't handle a strong personality. Too weak! hahaha! But thank you for the life's lessons. 

           Last month, I had a good conversation with a guy; we talked about love, relationships, break up. In the long conversation we had, what struck me the most was the time he told me that "after my investment of feelings, now I'm back in the game." That's the hardest part I guess; starting all over again and the scar  left in you gives the inability to trust again.

           I always say, "I'd rather be single than to be with someone who will make my life miserable. I know cliche as it may seems, "Singlehood is the best time you could ever have!" You get to travel, freedom you want, loving God deeply, loving yourself the most, more time with family and friends. Savour it my dear single friends. It's only once in a lifetime! 😃🤗 

Believe me or not, it's up to you. I am not looking for someone. But I do hope one day, I could find that someone who has the strong guts to conquer my world, remove my anxities and fears, and would make me feel like I'm the most beautiful girl in his world. Am I asking for too much?! I guess not. Good luck to you whoever you are. 

           Sabi nga ni Pia, "People who have been single for too long are the hardest to love. They have become so used to being single, independent and self sufficient that it takes something extraordinary to convince them that they need you in their life." 

A love letter...

    Yes, I wrote a love letter to myself today. Surprise! I used to always write in my diary because that helps me a lot. And I guess time to bring back the old habit, but this time to be careful from my sister, Mom and cousin who once sneaked out in the closet just to read my daily thoughts hahahaha!
