#2013 #ACTS

Dear God,

I adore you Lord and I thank you! 

I am sorry for the times i wasn't able to obey your commandments. I apologize for not being able to be a good daughter to my mom, a better partner to my hubby and the best mother to my son. I regret that i wasnt able to be a friend, a sibling, a cousin, a neighbour, an acquaintance and a colleague when i needed to be.

I want to thank you for blessing me with so much this year: giving birth to my son, having him baptized and being able to provide for all his needs. Thank you for my clients who purchased the items i was selling. Thank you for my friends who have stayed true and loyal and to my frenemies who gave me the opportunity to practice my patience and understanding. Thank you for keeping me healthy so that I can work hard and for the strength to face every challenge. 

This coming year, please bless me and my family with better health and may our love for each other become stronger. Bless my son with wisdom and please keep him safe from sickness and harm. Please make me a better person so that I can be the best for everyone else.  Lastly, may every human being i encounter be an inspiration in my life and me to theirs.

All this I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

A Letter for My Son

Dear Zac,

You are turning 3 months on the 10th. I can't believe how fast you are growing up. Did you know that today marks the anniversary of the exact date you were conceived? You'll probably ask how that happened when you grow older, but in the meantime, let me tell you that last year, after so many years of waiting, God finally gave you to me.

I'm sorry for leaving you at home while me and your dad go to work. I really feel guilty and sad for not being able to be a hands on mom. I am actually doing this because your future is very important to me. Since you are our only child, I want to make sure that you are well-off when I'm gone. Everything I am doing now is for you. I might not be able to see you when you wake up and play with you the whole day, but I am always thinking of you every single second and wishing that I'm there with you.

When you learn how to read, and you get to read this, I hope I was able to give you most of the things you need and want. I hope that you never felt unloved or uncared for. I hope I am giving you enough support and understanding to heal your pain or celebrate your triumph. I hope I am being the best mom.

Please never forget that I love you and I will be here for you everyday for the rest of my living days and no matter what road you may choose to take, I will support you. Always remember the good and important things I have taught you.

I love you Zac! I will see you when I get home.


Mommy

TO THE FATHER OF MY SON:

They say that individuals enter your life for a reason. You might not know that specific reason but it will definitely change your world. 3 years ago, I met that person and like they always say, the rest was history.

As a tribute to that person, i am going to write him a love letter for all the world (the internet world that is) to read. oh, by the way, this is going to be really cheezzyy!

Dear Beh (our pet name for each other),

I dont know how many times we've talked to each other on the phone, sent text messages to each other, went on a date, gone on short trips and ate out, but every single moment was a fantastic memory. We never forget to say how much we love each other no matter how hard we fought or was mad about something. We always understood and continued to support each other no matter what situation we are in. We may not have the perfect relationship or the perfect life but we have each other and thats all I need.

Now that we are entering a new chapter in our lives, may I just say THANK YOU. Ever since the day we found out that I was pregnant, you have given me all the support I need. My journey to motherhood was more fulfilling because you were always there to protect me. And when we learned that we were having a baby boy, i will never forget how happy and thankful we were. We only have a week to wait for Zac's arrival and i can't wait to hold and kiss our little miracle. I have a feeling that you will be the greatest father.

Tomorrow, you are celebrating your birthday and my only wish for you is a more blessed life. I promise to always be here to take care of our family. I'm sorry if i'm short handed on some other things (like cooking) but I'll try harder. 

I love you very much. We love you very much!

For life,

Aya

To my "ONE" and only

3 years...1,095 days...26, 280 hours...1,576,800 minutes... 9,4608,000 seconds. Thats' how long you and I are together. A relationship built on love, acceptance and commitment, we've made it through difficult times, unexpected situations and people who tried to break us apart. Looking back, I find it amusing how 2 different people with totally different personalities can get together and stay together this long. Maybe it's fate..or magic..or being lucky...but I believe that I am blessed. Having you in my life all these time made me realize that love is indescribable and the sacrifices are all worth it. You have made me very happy and contented and I just love the way you make me feel everyday. Waking up in the morning and sleeping at night with you beside me, hearing your infectious laughter, hearing you sing those mushy love songs, seeing your serious face whenever you play your NBA game, holding your hand while walking, sleeping on your shoulder, your "ang tv" smile and most specially your hugs and kisses that gives me comfort every single time.

 

Thank you very much for all the nice compliments you never fail to tell me whenever i feel insecure about myself. Thank you for being such a gentleman and for the kind gestures you always show me wherever we are. Thank you for sacrificing many activities just to spend the day with me. Thank  you for making me your priority, always. Thank you for teaching me the value of taking care of family and thank you for always being there when I need you.

 

This year will be the most special year for both of us. Our son will soon be celebrating every holiday, every special occasions and very single day with us. I know that you will be a wonderful father and I believe that you will be a great example to him. Zac and I are very blessed to have you in our lives.

 

I love you very much! Cheers to us for more wonderful years together!

The Real Pregnant Woman

I am on my 6th month already, and until today, i am still overwhelmed by the reality that there is a human being growing inside me. Its still amazing how God made the woman's body to make another person, complete with organs and bones. Sometimes i wonder if the milk i am drinking or the meds i am taking actually contributed in making the eyes or the ears...but then again, its a miracle. Although the joy and happiness of having a child is incomparable, unexplainable and wonderful, for a woman like me who never expected to be a mom, there are things i do miss...a lot.                                            

1. wearing high heeled shoes
2. fitting into my skinny jeans and tank tops
3. getting my nails done with red nail polish
4. drinking coffee or tea
5. running and going to the gym
6. going home late
7. traveling
8. NOT going to the bathroom so often
9. my engagement ring on my thin fingers
10. eating what i want when i want
11. drinking meds only because i'm sick
12.  believing that milk are only for kids
13. get my regular size bra and underwear
14. sleeping on a different position
15. making love in different positions
16. not getting tired too much too quickly
17. laughing without feeling the urge to pee or fart
18. getting my hair colored in a salon
19. NOT feeling sleepy all the time
20. shopping for myself

I'm not saying I don't like being pregnant...i actually love it. What is there not to like when you have moms-to-be perks wherever i go. People are actually more kinder and I get spoiled more. But this is reality of being knocked up. There are a lot of sacrifices to make for the love of my life.my son, zac.
