sweat it

Yeey...it's my three months now with my workout fitness program.

Start the stats with 124 lbs at first month. 2nd month - 125 lbs which i was a bit upset because instead of losing i obviously gained. But somehow it challenge me more. Then yesterday comes two days close to my three months. It got me to 121 lbs. whehehehhh! I am happy about it! It may be not as big numbers but i am proud of it. And slowly but surely

it's worth the effort.

It is never that easy along the way but i learned that it takes a lot hard-work, dedication, patience  motivation and discipline. I will never be back young again, eventually i will get old. But I owe at least something to my own self and that is to take care of  my own body. Even simple just stay fit & healthy.

I am not aiming for super hot sexy figure me but I am just as more happy in & out better these days. :-) 

Thankful for today

The past weeks...I was too worried of so many things that's been going on with my life.Today something happened that makes me ponder on despite of all worries & fears that's been bugging me. I learned that you just have to hold on to your faith & pray. Something will lighten up your day.

I am too blessed and grateful for God's blessings & everyday miracles HE bestow in me.

  

When everything seems to be an uphill climb... hang on and keep your faith... 

pray and GOD will make a way.


   

Dancing in the moonlight

I was a spectator of such a lovely beauty of mother nature...

Along the silence of the night on my window shines through the glow of the moonlight with the rainbow ring surrounding it..

Eventually I shared to Dad far across the globe what beauty i have just witnessed. And these are what he shared to me as well... it made smile.. :-) The moon in the The Netherlands..

Dad took the pictures while he was on his way home.

I wonder if my adoring man ever see this beautiful moment as well... :-)

A vampire like lifestyle.. is not really as dull as everyone think. Not that i suck blood at night. Just being on graveyard shift work for four years this has been my days..up and awake in the middle of night even on weekends. :-) Still..I am grateful that i get to witness such beautiful sight.

It's priceless...  :-)

Flower of May

Today,

  Despite the hot sunny days for the past months. Mama's lil' garden never failed to amazed me with such lovely beauty. As I am about to bid farewell to a bittersweet month of May.

I still am grateful for this simple pleasures in life that i was able to witness.

Tomorrow, i shall look forward for all of her beauty to fully bloom... :-)

crazy fun

Back on the city now.. i have had a CRAZY FUN weekend with my close friend Gee and the rest of the group. New friends that is! :D

DAY1 - Rock climbing!! :D

 

DAY2 -Rappelling 100ft ;-)

 

It was one FUN!!CRAZY!! weekend i have had.. ;-P And yes i did conquer my fears!!! 

one tough cookie

Taking my leave off for work today...yeepppeey! It's my mama's birthday! :-)
Didn't tell her ahead of time about it.  Soon as she found out i am home for her birthday she was glad i take my day off at work... As she always know i am this workaholic child of her. Mama's becoming pretty much emotionally sensitive as she gets older. Peace ma! :-) 

The evening comes and we had a simple gathering for her B-day. She was being serenade with songs from her friends from the church org. I am happy enough to see how overwhelmed she was on her birthday.

 
The past couple of years has been tough times for her. The loss of a better-half  then follows the death of his two brothers in just a matter of  year after. But she keeps a strong heart despite everything.

If i was on her shoe..it would probably be the hardest battle to deal with. I can still see the pain in her eyes but she keeps a steady swing with life's challenges. She's one of the most remarkable woman i know. I just hope & pray God grant her more strength.

She is definitely one tough cookie... Happy Birthday MaMa!

May

Welcoming May...

 I started it with a delightful charm... cheers to these lovely flowers i bought on an early morning after a long day at work. Here comes the month of May... springtime for the other half of the globe. Summer time and the traditional festivity of Flores the Mayo "Flowers of May" for us here in my mother land.

This is a month where a lot of memories dearly holds to me..
Mama will celebrate her 52nd birthday this 5th..
Everyone will celebrating Mother's Day on the 2nd Sunday of May..

Counting back two years ago.. at the 26th of May I lost one special man in my life..and that is my PaPa...He passed away while on comatose from a tragic accident and eventually gave up the fight after three days.  

This would be a bittersweet time for me to go through as i would look back those sad memories of May.

But i shall take each day with a strong heart... 

Yesterday i was able to speak with my man..Today I got Dad's message... I am grateful enough for all these.
It reminds me that life no matter how bittersweet, there will still be wonderful moments for you to appreciate.
