Wifey roles aren’t that easy and it honed my skill in multi-tasking. Yes, I am saying it right. Multi-tasking. Doing 2 or more things simultaneously such as blogging while cooking, blogging while doing the laundry, cooking while hunting for opps, cooking while doing the laundry….those are only few of the light things I do simultaneously. Here’s where my super power emerge. After all those tasks, the only thing that lifts me up is the assurance that hubby is happy with what I did.

This is my niece, Daniella Cassandra, who is fondly called Ella (after my mother’s nickname Ely). Ella is a source of joy to everybody since she was born. Since she is the first grandchild, Mamang and Daddy are so happy with her. A very adorable and witty child. She even initiates a conversation with strangers. She is one of my sources of comfort. One time, she saw me crying in my room and she said to me, “Tita, ok lang yan..” and hugged me. It’s so amazing that a little child (she was 2 years old then) tries to give me comfort. She even told her mom, who was awakened by the rolling thunders one night, “ok lang Mommy, wag ka matakot” (It’s ok Mom, don’t be afraid). These are only few of her comforting words, encouraging words to everybody whom she thinks needs it. More of Ella next time. :-)
