Software 4 everyday use

Lateral thinking is concerned not with playing with the existing pieces but with seeking to change those very pieces. It is concerned with the perception part of thinking. This is where we organise the external world into the pieces we can then ‘process’.Edward de Bono

My officemate James is so forgetful that he received so many gifts last Christmas. Someone gave him a memory pill, another gave him schedule notebook, telephone directory and so much more related to his memory retention problem…the dilemma, he forgets to bring and use those items given.
He had been our Icon for memory loss and the crack of joke almost everyday. What they don’t know is my personal memory lapses. I usually forget where I put my pen, my cellular phones and my schedules. I usually inscribe things I should do and have directory sync of my daily errands. I don’t want to be the Queen of James. Lol
One time my officemate asked for a soft copy of the memo I did a week ago…my God I could not find it… I forgot where I saved it… I searched in my computer but nowhere to be found…but I knew it was just there…later I found the file in my usb… One of my tight spots is finding my files in computer. My hectic schedules usually result to scrambled files. But I really don’t want to be labeled as Ms. Memory Loss and have a dot in my capability. So I already made folders for each file and I took time in sorting my documents. I tried my best to make my work easier that even my officemates can easily find what they need. Knowing my weakness I tend to be more organize and more attentive to details.

I already advised James about my technique but he forgot what I told him…

Sexual Demons

“Its all in your mind”…then I laughed at her stories…Who will believe that a spirit hugged and slept beside her? How could an unattached virgin like her experience such things? Though I lent her my ear I didn’t consider her misleading notions.

She was sleeping and she was awakened by the movement at the side of her bed. Then she saw a faceless man. He slowly moved beside her and hugged her. She tried to wrestle him but she could not move…then she felt the man moving up and down from her body….

Her stories were nonsense for me until I encountered this program in Philippine Television, Misteryo” (Mystery) February 6, 2010 Sunday 9:55 p.m. channel 11. Their topic was about a lady being raped by spirits in her sleeps.

It was a documentary of true to life experiences encounter with incubus…A sexual demon who rapes women in their sleeps. There were spiritual experts, psychologist and victims that attested with the existence of such spirits… I was shocked that those things exist and the demon even got a name… “Incubus”
After watching, I called her, so much ready to really listen to her Creepy stories…her experiences were so uncanny…real goose bumps this time…

An incubus (plural incubi) is a

demon in male form supposed to lie upon sleepers, especially women, in order to have sexual intercourse with them, according to a number of mythological and legendary traditions. Its female counterpart is the succubus. An incubus may pursue sexual relations with a woman in order to father a child, as in the legend of Merlin.[1] Some sources indicate that it may be identified by its unnaturally large or cold sexual organ.[2] Religious tradition holds that repeated intercourse with an incubus or succubus may result in the deterioration of health, or even death.
Medieval legend claims that demons, both male and female, sexually prey on human beings. They generally prey upon the victim while they are sleeping, though it has been reported that females have been attacked while fully lucid.
The incubus is sometimes confused with the legendary "Old Hag" syndrome. The Old Hag episode, however, is usually restricted to an unpleasant feeling of great pressure on the chest and not a ghostly sexual encounter.

Call of Nature

I got goose bumps but I was not afraid of anything.
I felt something in my stomach…
Oh Gosh!
Emergency…
My God it was traffic…
I‘d like to kick other passengers out of the jeepney.
Hurry please…ump another thud in my stomach…
Oh I secretly prayed for Mr. Driver...go go go!
Oh gosh, glad it was the street of my office.
I jumped and ran…
“I can do it, Have faith! Oh God have mercy”
Pray, pray, Emergency….please hold on me, a little longer…
I pushed the office door…and shouted…
“Please Fenny punch my DTR”
Rushed to the Comfort Room... I locked the Door… and there…
The Holy Shit!
Oh Holy God of Mercy, it was just in time…
After the deed, I went to the canteen to have my breakfast… I overheard the conversations of my Officemates…
Amy: Hey Marge, why did you run, I was following you… You thought you were late already? We still had 30 minutes…
Marge: Oh yeah… I thought I was really late, I saw Ms. Noreen (Me) hurriedly jumped out of the jeepney and rushed to the office…

Call it a Miracle!

Acts 2:44-47

And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.

I became interested in going to Antipolo because of my Sister in Law Michelle. It is been their family’s practice to visit that Church yearly. I reflected on why they should go to a very far away Church while all the while God is in our hearts. I didn’t see any sense with that…really!

But when she mentioned that they will be having lunch at the famous falls Hinulugang Taktak, I aired my intention of going. A picnic in a scenic place under the trees thrilled me. What a way to respite and that means delightful pictures for my face book account.

Antipolo Church seemed so ordinary; still I could not find the reason for people from afar to visit it religiously. But something insinuated me to do just as what they were doing… I prayed seriously, lighted some candles and paid for a Holy Mass dated January 31,2010, 8:00 a.m. my intentions: Business Growth and help me bear a child….My Antipolo Church visit all in all was kind a soul uplifting experience though for some reasons our planned trip to the falls did not push through.

January 31, 2010 our 2^nd wedding anniversary at 9:30 a.m. the phone rang…a new client for our business called, asking for our Proposal because they badly needed a new supplier… a wonderful gift for our Cotton wedding and big blessing from God. Then I remembered the Holy Mass in Antipolo, it was scheduled by the time the new Client Called… coincidence?

Call it a miracle…..

So who wants to join me in my next visit to Antipolo Church?

Is that for me?

The Five day old baby was abandoned by her mother in the Hospital where my Aunty works. She brought it at home and informed me about the little angel looking for new parents. I immediately inquired if the baby was for me. My Aunty wonderfully replied that the baby was so beautiful, with fair complexion and thin brown hair, even compared to me when I was a baby. It was under the care of Department of Social Welfare and Development and papers would be no problem. It is only up to me if I want the baby.
I want a baby of my own…. Adopting one is fine with me…. But the biggest question was “Does my family ready for a new member that not really from us?”

When I saw the little angel, she was quietly sleeping in the sofa wearing a tarnished white shirt given by pitiful nurse, her mother left her with nothing. I stared at her… How a mother could abandon such an angel?

I stared at her and I felt numb..As if the world froze from its axis… I felt very deep sadness for the baby looking for home and for myself who lost a baby and yearning for a child… Suddenly I felt the usual longing for being a mother… I wanted the baby definitely…

We waited for my husband to come and see the baby, when he saw it he frankly showed his admonition with the baby and insensitively grabbed me to go home…For him the baby was a very big responsibility…

At first, I said nothing but cried. Many dialogues were sinking in my mind…

Myles: “ If this baby will not be traced under my care I will adopt it!”
Bong: “ She is so pretty, if I only have a maid to take care of her!”
Ruben: “If your husband disapproved your decision, just let it be…the baby will surely find somebody else.”
Rjhon: “ Ninang adopt the baby, I will call her ampon (adopted) if she’s bad.,”
Norma: “The baby looks like you , she will surely grow similar to you”
Elmer: “ The question is not the responsibility but the welfare of the child. If you have the resources and
The love that you could bestow to the little baby, why not?”
Bambi: Most of those who adopted a child were given their own child, as if the adopted awaken their mother’s instinct.
My Husband: No as if you will not have your own baby, we will make our own baby”

When I was informed about the baby. I immediately prayed and asked God if the baby was for me. I requested God that the sign for me will be the approval of my husband. I wanted to love and take the little angel, the baby will heal my wounds and surely will bring back color to my life… but my decision was not for me alone… Now I am still grieving and praying that God give me a baby..please just give me a baby that is really for me and for my family.

“ Not an iota really loves me..For the reason that if you do, you would deem my delight . You would encourage me in having the angel.
All you think is what I can bequeath you and not what you can spare to me… I am sick, I am miserably sick with my life, no one even had the impression that baby could be my cure.
Be grateful that you can still decide for me and what I should do with my life… but in time…. ”

Painting the Colors of Christmas

In my earlier blogs, I revealed that the pressure was on for the 2009 Christmas Party. Being in charge for the concept of the Party I suggested charity works to make Christmas more meaningful for us, a visit to home of the oldies or in the orphanage could be a different and uplifting experience. Too bad for us, or too good for them… all charity schedules were taken by other companies already….hmm there will always next time for our kind heart anyways.

Painting the colors of Christmas was the theme, each Department had its dress color, red, blue, green and yellow.

Each department prepared Team Cheer Christmas song, I as Emcee called each team and they cheer and we created a beautiful Medley of Christmas songs. It was so jovial...we exerted efforts in costumes, cheers and presentations. We battled for the Pride of each Department.

Our team was red and had our blouses stitched with silver sequins by my office mate Cecil. We laughed when we discovered that she was needle addict and she finished our outfit in no time… she also turned the long skirts into tube blouses we bought hours just before the actual presentation...we were so busy that we hardly practiced our stunts.. we were puppet singing chipmunks song,as I lip sing my hands who were Ms. Amy pinched my cheeks and nose that made audiences laughed, then sexy ladies dancing Santa baby by Kyle Minouge, and as finale we wish you merry Christmas song with instant three kings, mama Mary, Joseph and Jesus reenactment... we never practiced it, it turned that our baby Jesus were full of tattoos and laughing the whole time. We presented happily and we enjoyed it...

Other teams were great...they had unique presentations too and we thought we had no chance to win...the green got Michael Jackson and the yellow a T bird wearing skirts that really got high in audience impact criteria. The blue had nice music and so much effort...they vowed to steal the first place.

Suprisingly the Red Team our team became the Champion in group presentations...we got perfect score in originality, Christmas spirit and costumes...lol... Everybody went home with a smile.



Merry Christmas every one and Happy New Year...

Barangay FIESTA 2009

Exodus 23:16 "Also you shall observe the Feast of the Harvest of the first fruits of your labors from what you sow in the field; also the Feast of the Ingathering at the end of the year when you gather in the fruit of your labors from the field.

Barangay fiesta in the Barangay,where there is an overall ambiance of merriment. Many different activities occur in the days or weeks leading up to the fiesta. These include beauty contests, discos, balls, church services, street parades and other entertainment.

Feast is a tradition of Filipinos and the time of reunion and reuniting with friends and relatives. Before, you can enter any house and eat. Home owners call all the passers by to eat and join the feast...but nowadays few only is still practicing that. They have selected visitors and not open house anymore, maybe due to economic crunch and personal security.

Our Barangay Fiesta for the first time was celebrated last December 8,2009. Visitors were confused of the real date of our Barangay Fiesta...well it depends to the Barangay Captain ,I jokingly answered. From June 4, to first Saturday of June and now December 8. Well they said it was the birth date of the Patron....any certificate of Birth? This coming June confused visitors from afar will surely come. For me..anybody could Celebrate the way they wanted and the date of their choice... L O L. Kidding aside the constantly changing of Feast Day had brought not only confusions but arguments to the residents... and I really not liking it....

Well what still important is our perception of Celebrating Feast...the way to give back to God, to feed those who are hungry and give water to all thirsty.

To some it can only just one Tradition...but for me it is a special occasion for our God.

Living Hero

“Our planet is filled with heroes, young and old, rich and poor, man, woman of different colors, shapes and sizes. We are one great tapestry. Each person has a hidden hero within; you just have to look inside you and search it in your heart, and be the hero to the next one in need.
“So to each and every person inside in this theater and for those who are watching at home, the hero in you is waiting to be unleashed. Serve, serve well, serve others above yourself and be happy to serve. As I always tell to my co-volunteers … you are the change that you dream as I am the change that I dream and collectively we are the change that this world needs to be.” –EFREN PENAFLORIDA CNN Hero of the Year

Efren Peñaflorida gives Filipino youth an alternative to gang membership through education. He gives poor children knowledge. His Dynamic Teen Company’s 10,000 members have taught basic reading and writing to 1,500 kids living in the slums.

In a nation known for corruption and killer politicians rises EFREN PENAFLORIDA, a candle in the dark, unafraid to share himself, unselfish to live his own life.

I am so proud of you Efren and your team… Hope your twigs grow into branches and your flowers into fruit.
Mabuhay PHILIPPINES!!!

Home Secured Home

A home should be the best place on Earth for one self!

Everybody is affected by the economic crunch; here in the Philippines the lesser power of Peso can be felt. The children could experience now the limited budget of their family. They buy fewer toys and clothes, parents answer the primary needs of their family. Too bad I heard it didn’t spare my relatives in Ohio, I called my Uncle once and I asked about the status of their family. They cut already their budget but no problem with their home. He thanked God he made the best decision of his life to prioritize his property .

Real Property Management is paying close attention to your payments.They should look for firms with assistance in terms of renting their places quickly by having their collecting mediators got their payment, less hassle for them as busy couple who usually got no time to drop by for their rentals.

With the unstable economy nowadays we should be all smart and intelligent enough to choose people and organization to trust to. I am glad my Uncle is getting smarter by getting a firm that provided them placement service with affordable fees and no leasing fees. Their credit and multi-state criminal background screening check ensured them social safety and financial security. With the association designed for real estate professionals who support the professional and ethical practices of rental home management my Uncle will never be homeless. That is a perfect assurance for all of us.

Sweeter than the Chocolates

Remember, the greatest gift is not found in a store nor under a tree, but in the hearts of true friends. -- Cindy Lew

Two chocolates and a letter from New Zealand. I was dumb founded with the gifts I received from my god daughters Chuchay and Juday. I could not held my tears when I read Chuchay’s letter telling me that I will be missed this Christmas and Juday scripted her greetings in the golden foil package of her chocolates. They were sweeter than the chocolates. Ah I really missed them more than ever. What is Christmas without them.

Suddenly another big plastic bag came, with so many gifts inside. It was from Mumay, my beloved Mumay…So sweet of her to write my name in big bold letters outside the package. I immediately opened it, so many gifts wrapped in packaging tape, I dug to see all the gifts…but all where for her friends, jackets, rubber shoes letters and chocolates… the only thing for me was her letter asking to please distribute all her gifts to her friends.” I could not control my laughter. Mumay is really differently special.

Before I used to test Mumay by telling my abhor with her poor dirty friends… and she would tell me “ Ninang you are so rude, they are people too, with feelings and emotions and I would answer with “Yuck!”. I love Mumay for being friendly regardless of social status.

Those children where so called followers of Mumay’s Cult. They were all fond of Mumay and followed her every word. She even invited them to their Church though the children had different religion. At first we suspected Mumay as user; she might just love her friends because she was their master. They went wherever she went. She just used their innocence for her advantage.

But I was wrong, we were all wrong.

Mumay pleads to me just to talk and see them in the net…and she always asked them not to forget her…now that Mumay sent them gifts bought with her own savings.(She received monetary award from her mother for her Academic Distinction Award in her School in New Zealand.) I realized that Mumay is a true friend that cares, she honestly missed them and she really wanted to make them more than happy. She did not fail to remember that the parents of her friends could not provide the things she sent them.

The children wrote thank you letters to Mumay and they were so joyful. Their gladness radiates to their letters. They all lovingly wrapped again the gifts they received for their up coming Christmas Party.

Amazingly the used to be bossy and selfish Mumay…made another promised to her friends… “I will be back home soon and I have more wonderful gifts for you!”

One thing I swapped her rubber shoes gifts just to fit her friends …Mumay somehow forgot that she was not the only one that grew up…Mumay next time you inquire their exact sizes, okay?

One more thing… I am so proud of you Mumay… Thank you for sharing your blessings…all of you will always be remembered!

FAT or FIT?

In a race of blue you are pink, in the race of tall you are short and in the world of thin you are FAT. I am beginning to feel miserable about it…The least I need to do is something not only to fit…but to be FIT, be pro active to my health for better life.
For almost two months I woke up 4:00 in the morning and did my jogging routine. The cold breeze of morning was awesome. It was nice to see the morning sunshine…and notice the break of dawn. I felt stronger after hours of running. But when it was time to go home, I maybe over did my exercise. I could hardly lift my feet and needed to be fetched by my husband in the park where I ran and worst of it I was so hungry that I usually eat more than my capacity…the next thing you will find me sleeping until noon. I must be really kidding with what I did. I didn’t want to be like that, But I couldn’t help it and I was truly disappointed with myself and my self control.
I realized that the mounting depression with my self discipline was adding more at the components of my uncontrolled eating. The weighing scale declared more weight gain and it add up to my insecurities.
My Doctor asked me if I wanted to go for surgery abroad. She suggested for me to undergo lap band surgery. It was famous in USA and the cost of lap band surgery price averages from $14,000-$25,000. In Mexico and other countries abroad the price starts at $5,000 and goes up to $7,000 all inclusive. The price of lap band surgery is minimal compared to long list of its advantages.

My Doctor explained what it involves to know if weight loss surgery is right for me. Doctor for your information I did all the tiring exercises and end up as flabby as I am. She informed me about the surgical procedure and the effects of the weight loss surgery. Determined to lose weight and improve your health? I am 100% to that. She asked me if I was aware of how your life may change after the operation (adjustment to the side effects of the operation, including the need to chew food well and inability to eat large meals). I needed that…Finally the answer to my problem of over eating. As a matter of fact a friend of mine went through that procedure already and her insights and her new appearance convinced me more to go for lap band surgery. I don’t need to kill my self with no result long exercise routine anymore I just need some help from reputable surgeons in abroad. I will surely grab the opportunity, do it for myself and run my way to the road of wellness.


What is Lap Band Surgery?
The LAP BAND System is an adjustable gastric band designed to help you lose excess body weight, improve weight-related health conditions and enhance quality of life. It reduces the stomach capacity and restricts the amount of food that can be consumed at one time. The LAP-BAND® System procedure does not require stomach cutting and stapling or gastrointestinal re-routing to bypass normal digestion. The LAP BAND System is the only adjustable and reversible weight-loss surgery available in the United States and the only weight-loss surgery approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The name "LAP-BAND" comes from the surgical technique used, laparoscopic, and the name of the implanted medical device, gastric band. The LAP BAND System is a silicone ring designed to be placed around the upper part of the stomach and filled with saline on its inner surface. This creates a new, smaller stomach pouch that can hold only a small amount of food, so the food storage area in the stomach is reduced. The band also controls the stoma (stomach outlet) between the new upper pouch and the lower part of the stomach. When the stomach is smaller, you feel full faster, while the food moves more slowly between your upper and lower stomach as it is digested. As a result, you eat less and lose weight

I will run away FROM you!

The Corrs: Runaway
Say it's true, there's nothing like me and youI'm not alone, tell me you feel it tooAnd I would run awayI would run away, yeah, yeahI would run awayI would run away with you'Cause I am falling in love with youNo never, I'm never gonna stopFalling in love with youClose the door, lay down upon the floorAnd by candlelight, make love to me through the night(through the night)'Cause I have run awayI have run away, yeah, yeahI have run away, run awayI have run away with you'Cause I am falling in love (falling in love) with youNo never, I'm never gonna stopFalling in love with you With youAnd I would runawayI would runaway, yeah, yeahI would runaway (runaway)I would runaway with you'Cause I am falling in love (falling in love) with youNo never, I'm never gonna stopFalling in love with youFalling in love (falling in love) with youNo never, I'm never gonna stop falling in love with youWith you, my love, with you(With you, with you, with you, with you)

This song has been the wedding march of many. Even by the Philippine famous movie star Judy Ann and Hubby Ryan. I hunted this song in video oke bars and been my favorite for so long. I could imagine the wedding scene and sweet moments while singing…Until one time my hubby and I got a feud and I alternate some of the lyrics myself…maybe some would agree with what I have done. I know some would sing the song with these lyrics…just for entertainment or to lessen the anger for your partner as you discover the real him…not the someone you really wished to run with for the rest of your life.

Divorce candidates…will sing the song with these lyrics ....

Run away FROM You
Say it's true, there's nothing like me and youI need to be alone, don’t tell me you feel it tooAnd I would run awayI would run away, yeah, yeahI would run awayI would run away from you'Cause I am failing in love with youNo never, I'm never gonna Fall in love again with youClose the door, lay down under the floorAnd by candlelight, do not breath all through the night(through the night)'Cause I have run awayI have run away, yeah, yeahI have run away, run awayI have run away from you'Cause I am fallen out of love (fallen out of love) with youNo never, I'm never gonna Fall in love again with you With youAnd I would runawayI would runaway, yeah, yeahI would runaway (runaway)I would runaway from you'Cause I am fallen out of love (fallen out of love) with youNo never, I'm never gonna Fall in love again with youFailing in love (failing in love) with youNo never, I'm never gonna fall in love again with youWith you, no more love, with you(With you, with you, with you, with you

OOOOpps don't get me wrong...not thinking to be single again...

I believe that it has to be give and take in each partnership. One can't do all the giving and one does all the taking. You are a couple! There is no I in couple. The I become couple instead. I wanted you where were you? I needed to see where you were in times I needed you. If it gets to demanding and self focused ,a leaf falls off the tree.

Love should be like a bamboo that bends in the storm. It can be bent and still be whole. If the branches start to break off then love is beginning to become lost and has a possibility of being shattered. Love has to be worked on all the time. It needs to be fed on a regular basis. If it is not fed, it is as something live, it dies.

Love, if it true love will die slowly over a period of time. If true love hasn't had time to develop, it won't take as long for the love to disappear. Don’t let leaves to fall down, branches to break off….do not run away from him…give more time to each other... it maybe a big mistake to choose your partner…and it becomes evident as time goes by…the person you want to run with slowly becoming the person you wanted to run away from as distant as probable…The best depreciate you have ever done in your life… can appreciate… just need to bend a little…

Road to Wellness

CT scans or Computerized Tomography or CAT scans are one of the best tools for a doctor to see and pinpoint the problem and what is wrong inside the body. Use of CT scan is quite routinely nowadays, but it didn’t make it pleasant enough for anybody to undergo. The biggest drawback when undergoing a CT scan is that you have to drink an oral contrasting agent, which allows the resulting picture to be more precise and detailed.

As actually written and shared by my cousin Che....
Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2009, almost perfect weather conditioned, I am in red shirt, nervous, sad and I saw my friend but no connection with what I’m trying to share. Nyahaha! In short, I underwent CT scan last Tuesday. I had unknowingly developed abnormality in my internal organ. When I went to my doctor, he ordered a CT scan to determine what was wrong inside my beautiful body (kidding) just body. I arrived at the Calamba Medical Center around 9 in the morning and was given a big jar for the diluted barium based mixture, 3 needles 2 small and 1 big in size that made me shocked. I had blood taken in the beginning (creatine test) and after that I had to drink 1 liter of barium sulfate in one hour & another 1 liter for 30 minutes prior to the test.

Although EZ CAT smell’s slight orange, looks like milk and some say it comes in different flavors I am here to tell you that it’s awful. There is no good way to drink this liquid, which can best described as chalk-like in nature. Some say, hold my nose and gulp it down, but that didn’t work for me. The nurse instructions say to drink it slow; that’s what I did. The worst part was after drinking the first 1 liter I need to drink another 1 liter of barium sulfate. However, I managed to do it despite the horrible taste. (I’m proud. Clap your hands!) I can’t count how many times I went to rest room just for flushed I did it every 5-8 mins. At 11:20am I’m ready for scanning and dressed in medical gown. The first scan last for 15minutes there was no pain. The second time I was totally nervous, the technologist injected a contrast media in my vein (iodine-dye). During that time I experienced a warm sensation throughout my body especially on my lower abdomen and a metallic or salty taste in my mouth I also wanted to flushed but the technologist told me it was normal, just relax, be patient. Be patient was the hardest for me. Atlas! CT scan was over at 12nn. It’s so stressful for me. On my way home from hospital I experienced stomach cramping, sleepy, nauseous and stressed. Up to this day I still feel some pains in my vein where the contrast media was injected.

I hope you guys are doing well and will never ever experience what I had. It’s hard. Promise, I swear! … especially the extra challenge of drinking 2 liters of barium sulfate and a curse of going back and fort to comfort rooms to flash. So, take good care of your body guys and always remember “HEALTH is WEALTH” but as for me? “I wish tomorrow is Yesterday” because I believe in the saying regrets is always in the late end and when you are late you will pay extra charges! Oh Gosh! Exit time.

by:Cheche

I was the first to know that Che had a problem in her private part maybe ten years ago. She asked me to swear not to tell it to any body… though I was so afraid not knowing her real scenario I kept my promise to keep it to myself. Now that she’s open about it I am happy that she is getting the proper medication. I am so proud with her courage to heal and ready to face whatever it may take. Knowing her inability to drink even a single pill back in college…the grown up Che continues to make me clap my hands…Keep it up sis! I will always pray for you…Thank you for sharing.

Yael and My Husband Noriel

Could not hide his excitement with his Birthday Bash


With his New friend Samantha

Make a wish Yael

Yael's Family Picture

My husband would like to surprise his nephew Yael with a Birthday Cake in his 3rd Birthday. It is all started with a Birthday Cake… and then balloons, ice cream, spaghetti, and more… I was the one surprised with the instant complete birthday bash.
Yael and his family lives in Bicol Region, a 12 hour drive from our place, my in laws just came for visit and to attend my sister in laws wedding this November 18, 2009. It was my brilliant idea for Yael to celebrate with us. Noriel my husband invited almost all of his friends and our relatives in his Nephews Birthday, a planned simple celebration became an instant luscious party. I secretly smiled as visitors came to our house, all related to us and not to the Birthday Celebrant.
Yael and Noriel were equally thrilled. Yael woke up with a question “Is it today? Is it my Birthday already?” I jokingly sang Happy Birthday song and always paused at the end.Yael would continue singing “Happy Birthday Yael”! It is so nice to make the little child happy. Our Nephew Yael really jumped in happiness when he saw the balloons, and tried to blow some himself…end up with saliva balloon.lol…he chose his own birthday cake. But he was most happy with his gifts…a toy bus most especially…he shouted BUT! BUT! for bus, and shouted “Antonina! Aint Jude”… the name of real buses that passes through in his house in Bicol… I learned that his playmate in Bicol refused to lend him his toy Bus…he hugged the BUT I mean BUS almost the whole day. Yael finished the day with a question “Is it finished, my Birthday?”No more cake?”
I was touched with my Uncle Ruben who came with his child’s r jhon old bike as a gift. My own relative came and celebrated with us though they didn’t personally know Yael the celebrant. I was unaware that my brother personally talked to Rjhon who at first refused to give his bike to Yael, he told him “Rjhon when you have something that you are not using any more, you have to give it to someone who will enjoy it and will use it according to its purpose. It’s nice to make someone happy with the things you used to love.” Rjhon then gave his bike and even volunteered himself to teach Yael how to use it… I agreed to my brother when he said “We really have nice Family”.
Yael was so happy. Noriel despite of his expenses was delighted …
They didn’t know that I was the most pleased…It was our very first Children’s Party in our house…and I enjoyed the experience…
Can’t wait to celebrate for our own child… and I know it will be coming soon.

Happy 3rd Birthday Yael!
