Thank you.

It has been a long time since I blogged. Yeah, I am a busy mom and wife.

Just recently, life has poked me. I recently complained about a lot, about not managing my time properly, how I am not getting enough time for myself, how I have been very busy juggling my domestic and office tasks...

However, I then realized that I am blessed, truly I am.

I am very busy because that means I have a job.
I have been very blessed in this aspect of my life. Before graduating from college last 2003, I had already been conditioning myself to start looking for a job as the economy had not been that kind to all of us. People were saying that it would be difficult to apply for new jobs as thousands graduate every year and each had to put their best foot forward to get accepted.
Luckily and because of God's grace, I was able to find a job without difficulty, even after I had to change employment, I landed on a job right away. I was able to help my parents with the finances through this.

I still get tired after work as I have to prepare food for my family.
It's not a secret that I am a foodie and I try as much as possible to try different dishes and prepare them at home if the budget allows it.
I am blessed that I could eat three meals a day, when others would still rummage a garbage sack to find one. Sometimes, I scold myself when there are leftovers on my plate, thinking of the people, who go hungry everyday. All of us experience hunger but not what the people in Africa experience everyday. It's terrible!

I am thankful to God for my family and for my extended family and most especially, for my Jerry and my Maia. They are the fruit of my labor. They are the leche flan in my halo-halo. They are the icing on my cake... You get the idea. ^_^

We humans complain because we are insatiable by nature. But it's not an excuse to forget to thank God because this proves we are still alive and life is one of the most precious gifts HE has to bestow upon us. I pray that HE would give me strength in fulfilling all my endeavors for my family and for myself, and to give us good health for the rest of our lives as I want to live a meaningful life with them.
