It’s been 3 days since I’m home, officially home and I really like it! I’m enjoying every moment that I am here. This is what I like all my life. Being at home. Far from the pressures outside. One of my greatest desire is to be a fulltime wife, a fulltime mom (hope God will bless us kids soon). I remember telling my Mom before that I wish she’s a fulltime Mom and she asked me why. I told her I want to be like my cousin who lives like a princess in their house. Her mom doing all the laundry and cooks for them until she finished college. Imagine! What a great life I guess. While I wash my clothes every Saturday, iron them on Sunday nights, my cousin doesn’t worry about hers. Anyways, that is my selfish desire before. But I think what pushed me to ask Mamang to stay home is the thought that when I arrive home she should be there, I could see her more often, and spend more quality time with her. Since she’s teaching, she has school activities to attend on some Saturdays and that’s one day less to our time together. In the evening, she’s busy preparing her lesson plan. Most of the time, I’d go to sleep earlier than her. When I wake up, she’s also leaving for school and we’ll see each other again after school. Though a working Mom, she attended to all our needs, getting all household chores done without a nanny. We didn’t have a nanny when I started going to school. Mamang managed to do the household chores until I and my younger sister learned to do the laundry, wash dishes, and cook. Now, I am already a wife, my great challenge is to be like Mamang (but in my case, not a working wife) who continuously do her role even if her children are grown up already…that, even before she died at the age of 56 she still cooks, do the laundry for my father and youngest sister (and even mine if she visits us here in Davao before) and other things that she could do. For all those years, I never heard her say she’s tired. Now, it’s my turn. I want to be more of a hands-on wife and soon a hands-on mom, personally attending to my family’s needs. Quitting my job is a blessing for me and I don’t care much of having a job as of the moment. As much as possible, I would like to be at home so that I can be the boss of my own time. Nothing much to worry about. I’m more comfortable and at peace though I don’t make money as much as I do when I have a job. It’s also an avenue for me to learn things that I want to do such as sewing, making crafts and baking though I haven’t done much these days aside from exploring the blogging world.

Hi! I’m back. After contemplating on what will I do with this first blog, it’s a wasted effort if I’ll delete it. So, I have decided to continue on updating it….with a different perspective. This is my comfort zone, with my loved ones and friends. I hope you’ll find your visit worth it.

These pictures are only few of the many personalized gift items made by sister, Carol. It’s only the first batch of her products, taken last 2005.

She has also made wedding favors and giveaways for special occassions. I tried to paint in mugs before but I just mess up with it. It only proves that only talented and artistic people can do it. Now, she’s also into making hand-painted wall decor scrolls and personalized pillows. Her products are then showcased in Buy Pinoy Expo held last November 2007 at the Megatrade Hall, SM Megamall.

Guess it’s time to change my eyeglasses for I’m not comfortable with the lens anymore and my eyes easily strain. I’ve been using it for almost 5 years already and have changed the lens almost two years ago. The current lens of my glasses is tri-coated and more expensive than the previous one. It cost me a lot for that lens alone. In search of stylish eyeglasses at an affordable price, my Best Thing Found: Zenni Optical that has variety of products such as frames and all kinds of lens (from single vision to progressive). Zenni Optical $8 Rx Glasses is a good option for me and they sell huge variety of prescription glasses online. For only $8, I can have my stylish eyeglasses that comes with a case. Compared with the current price of lens with my optometrist, I can save more than 50 percent with my Great Discovery: Zenni Optical. The company’s products are comparatively cheaper because they manufacture their own frames and directly sell to the customers (to cut marketing expenses), internationally.
