Another Dream Came True

Eleven years ago I had this short essay written for my English subject titled "What Will I be Ten Years From Now" and becoming a wife and mother was what I wanted to become. Early on I knew what I wanted in life and as years passed by I became more determined to achieve that very goal I had, marrying a foreigner, having my own family,living in America and have two kids.  I scored 98 out of 100 for that not to be conceited. Too bad I lost the paper, I should have kept it!

I met my husband then my dream has come true, he gave me a beautiful girl, give me that American dream life I dreamed and just four days ago another beautiful girl is born, Megan. All these things used to be just a dream and now it came true and fulfilled. I can't ask for more except seeing my kids grow and marriage to prosper! Thank God for all the goodness/blessings He showered me. 

Fun Under The Sprinkler

It's the 14h day we hit triple digit temperature. It's seriously hot here, I tell you. In order to beat the summer heat, as we water our yard, I let my child go out there and enjoy the fun that water comes out from our manual sprinkler. I let her experience how it is playing with water while she is still a child. Someday she'll remember doing it as part of her happy memory in her childhood just like I do, though my experience was way too different than hers.

When it rains, we managed to go out with all the neighbors' kids my age to play in the rain no matter how cold we were we didn't mind it as long as we enjoyed the water. That was part of my childhood I can never forget and honestly, I missed playing under the rain.

Memories From The Past

People come and go in our lives. They are part of what we are now. Without them, life would be so lonely. "No man is an island" as what the saying goes and I can't imagine life without good friends that help create such wonderful memories that is worth keeping. I so missed my old kaberks back during my UCTC days.

Yes, I do have my new set of friends now but I still long to be with my old friends. I treasure every friend I have and for that I am grateful they came along and made me happy! If only I can turn back the hands of time, I would rather be with real simple friends where genuine laughters and drama are being felt. No, I don't regret of where I am now and who I am with, only I get lonely sometimes and wished I was in the Philippines where family and friends were around.

Attached photos are shots of us last 2005 with my classmates in UCTC Caregiving School.

.... first photo was taken during our OJT at the hotel but before we start our job, we had to take a picture for remembrance...
.... second photo is of the same group as above sa may pilapil about to go "panginhas" in Lawis, Lapu-lapu City. It is an interesting picture of all shots we had because this was the last time I spent with them and 11 days after that, I flew to America for the first time leaving all my friends and family behind...

... this is again with my UCTC group in Lapu-lapu City plaza.. ah nothing is sweeter than remembering those good old times I had with my friends... ang bonding, ang mga kabuang etc...
