I had a nice time today at the district's sports fest...then my co -teachers and I went out to treat ourselves^^ for we had been working almost the whole day for the sports fest...
During our conversation I can't help but notice how some would try to make good impression of themselves...So I had hoped for simplicity to rule in our conversations ....Thank God....I noticed also how some would try to humble themselves.... but others still find it quite difficult ....so I guess sometimes it's better to keep quiet when you have nothing good to say anyway...
Then at the mall I saw my older sister's classmate and had a short conversation with her....and it was fun seeing her again....and before that too, at the sports fest...I saw a childhood friend of another older sister of mine and was glad that she had not forgotten her^^she was also happy to see me at the district....There was like reminiscing of good times at the district today^^
What a day it has been!... I learned a lot about humility and the importance of showing or sharing honesty,simplicity,thoughtfulness,patience,love,friendship with other people^^
I attended a wedding this afternoon and I really appreciated the way the priest officiated and witnessed the ceremony....
The mood is always happy when I see couples tie the knot....I just wish that the "love" between couples will always last forever....and they would fall in love with each other again and again....falling in love with each other also means falling in love with the "same person"....the same husband and wife all over again^^.....
There was a movie shown years ago and I had forgotten its title but the story was about family life....about love between husband and wife as well as parents and their children....I find the movie interesting because there was a scene wherein the daughter was asking her father why he was divorcing her mother....The father said it's because he had fallen out of love with his wife or her daughter's mom....So the daughter said...." Now I knew Dad why you were divorcing our mother....it's because you fell out of love with my Mom"....Then suddenly the daughter asked her father....."Dad will there be a possibility too that you will forget about us as well?....The father said,...."Ofcourse not!!!....How could I forget you....never will I lose my love for you".....But the daughter was really confused and asked her Dad...."But Dad?" she said...."Will you also fall out of love on us just like what you did to our Mom?"...."Will there come a time also that you will fall out of love on us?"...."By then I guess you will also leave us just like what you did to my Mom".....The father didn't know what to say after that....It was really touching coz the father shed some tears and embraced her daughter after that....Yes I guess building a strong marriage and a family is really important....coz in the end the children are the ones who suffer from our immaturity and irresponsibility....
Saturday is bonding time.....It's so nice to belong to a big family coz when you get together it's always like a reunion already....And what else could make the day complete....Of course the kids.....Oh the kids are noisy...but it's just ok coz they usually are high pitched ^^.....but they surely make our day and our home brighter.....
We've had lots of bday celebrations last April and this month of May....and as always those who get so excited are those little kids we have at home.....So during my Mom's bday we decided to buy balloons so that the kids will have something to spend their time with when the celebration gets to fit in with the old folks....Although my Mom gets her share of "fights" when those kids become "irritable" or noisy already, she was so happy to have the kids around on her bday coz the very first people who greeted her and gave her simple tokens were the kids^^.....My niece Ella even bought a simple hairpin and 3 pieces of snow beer(menthol candy^^) for her grandma....Those little things really mean so much to us.....
Nevertheless we manage to celebrate those special occasions with our love ones....I guess families should be like this always....whether it's just a simple Saturday like this we should always find quality time with our love ones....even a simple meal and celebration will do....
This morning I had to review Ella my niece because of her exams for tomorrow.....She's in Grade two now and she is soooo "makulit".....Actually she wanted to play first before doing the review.....Since most of us are "oldies"^^ at home she can't find someone of her age to play with.....Oh she was crying and asked all of us her aunts to play with her the "hep hep hurrayyy!!!"....So in order for her not to cry anymore......we agreed^^.....Me, my sister Tess, her Dad, and my sister Nona played as if we were her playmates^^.....Actually a day before she was playing with the children of her mother's cousins....so she really had a good time with them so when she went home yesterday to us....she had no one of her age to play with T_T..(her cousins on our side were grown ups already).....Well I don't know why most of us have become old maids already^^though the youngest Lorna I think is getting married next year^^....Maybe we are too close as a family^^I think....So poor Ella^^.....I hope my other sisters should marry nowT_T.....so that Ella will have more cousins^^.....as for me I still don't know^^.....Well.....I just leave it up to the One up there^^
Here is a picture of Ella now at seven years old......
I thought of our neighbors today...Two days ago I heard our neighbor's kids crying.... Their Mom had left because she couldn't somehow handle her family's problems....The kids are now with their father....but I know they miss their mother so much....I hope Michelle would come back coz I can't bear to see the kids suffer so much.....My Mom and I cried too when we heard the kids crying two days ago.....and even yesterday the youngest was crying....Dear God please make Michelle see her kids and stay with themT_T.....
Tomorrow we shall have classes again.....It's gonna be a busy day for us again....Actually it's our advanced holiday today....our National Heroes Day.....The whole family is here^^......It was a tiring day yet we always have fun together^^....
Saturdays and Sundays are busy days for us....even the entire weekdays....So everyday we all work and my Mother will be left home(she is able to walk well again...thank God^^) with my older sister, brother and my sister in law.....but in the evening it's gonna be like you are in the city^^....We are 7 girls and 2 boys in the family....I'm the 3rd youngest in the family....There are only three among us who are already married as of now.....OMG!^^.....The youngest I think will get married maybe next year^^.....I only have three nieces, one nephew....and one grandson.....One of my two brothers is away from home... He is in Riyadh with his wife....They have no kids yet after long years of marriage T_T.....We told them to adopt....maybe they'll do when they'll come back in the Phils. Now he is planning to be back in the Phils. coz they miss us already^^......So it's gonna be a big big reunion again next year I think!.....
Everyday is like a celebration.... I spend quality time I may say with my family....They are as loving^^ and funny as I am^^.....
