A Day with her BFF

Well, I'll tell you why we named that cute li'l red dressed blonde doll named Aga. / Ah gUh/ not / AA gah/. This was Ninang Shane's X-mas gift for her last year. When Ora first saw this, I asked her what pretty name could she give for her gift she said "aga". And their history being best of friends begins! :).. Aga slept with her day and night, early morning she carries Aga in her toy stroller and they both had good journey along the village. They're best friends, but Ora once left Aga at the Ecoland Terminal when we went for a travel and I did a hard job looking for Aga. (see how they meant as BFFs??? haha!) :)

How to Start All over Again?

REPOST:

Life is a journey of ups and downs, like a cycle which takes a turn to give you both ends. There will be happiness or sadness, success or failures, love or heartaches, good or bad.

Oftentimes, you’ll be encountering situations where things are going smoothly your way then suddenly, in a blink of an eye, things crashed down to your face then turn your world up-side-down. In that moment you will feel distraught that you may find life so hard to live on.

But after the pain and darkness, there comes the joy and light. Now, you’ll start to ask yourself, “how to start all over again?”

Starting over isn’t hard, if you know these four (4) key principles:

1) Acceptance
Accept that life isn’t perfect, and it will never be perfect, so expect it to be hard. The best way to achieve happiness and success in life is through acceptance.
Instead of mourning and complaining on how difficult life is, shift your focus to how and why you have to act and make it different.
Remember that it’s not what happens to you, but how you handle what happens to you, that’s going to make the difference.

2) Learning
The good thing about setbacks or failure, are the lessons we learn if we did not experience them otherwise.
Once you’ve accepted the imperfection of your life and the situation that happened, take time to recognize the lessons you’ve learned from such experience. For this will be valuable wisdom you’ll be carrying over as you go along in your life.

3) Planning
Dream again. After failing, most people lose their appetite to still dream for fear of failing to achieve them.
The best story we can remember whenever we feel like giving up and walk away from our dreams is about the company named “7 UP”.
7-Up Success Story showed how a company have failed six (6) times and achieved success on the seventh (7) time. To learn more about 7-Up Success Story CLICK HERE or copy-paste this url: http://lifetofullest.com/7-up-success-story/

4) Moving on
Always keep a positive and grateful attitude.
Do you know the cartoon movie, “Meet the Robinsons”? It has a famous line that can extremely influence our attitude and it says “Keep moving forward”.

When you respond to life, that’s positive; when you react to life, that’s negative. The former clearly defines the meaning of “Keep moving forward”.

Whenever situations come to our lives, especially hard times, you always have two choices, a positive or negative. That’s to respond or react.

Reacting leads you nowhere but feeling restless and frustrated while responding gives you a perspective to stand up and keep on moving to life.

Most of life is learning and growing, falling and getting back up, accepting and going on. If you want to go far, you have to start the engine and drive

Right now, I'm hurting and so is Him. But this is not something I want Ora to read when time she's matured enough to understand. 'will just keep this between me and him. I\ll just pray to God that he'll mend whatever hurt we have right now and that he'll heal these pains that has caused us.

Ailing Ora

You were ailing last week. You had discharge several soft stools for about 5 days and this made mama and papa horribly troubled. On your fourth night, minutes after we put you to bed while you were having your milk we heard your cries so piercing. Though it’s dim inside our room mama could see you vomited much of the food and milk you had. Yes, this has always been your habit if you go to bed. You like it and you behave much if lights were off and you’ll fall to sleep soundly. But things we’re different that night. You want me to cuddle you up and you don’t want anybody to do it except for mama. Well you two were too heavy then (coz mama was as well carrying her little boy that time in her tummy), but I love you and I care for you. Even how heavy you maybe mama will still carry you when you’re in pain. You fell asleep and you had your laboratory tests early morning before taking you to your pedia. The staffs and the resident medical technologist asked for your new stool sample to assure the viability of the test. You made them entertained when you danced in front of them. While waiting for your next stool, we took you to the nearest shopping mall to buy you shoes since papa noticed you’re red shoes is by now too small for your feet. You look great with your new pair of white sandal which I got from a kids section (not for toddlers at all! We’ll if you haven’t known you have those unusually wide feet for a 1.7 year old tod. ). Then you saw nearly a 5 year old boy crying at the drugstore inside the mall and you mimic his cryings. One couple saw you and they look enjoyed watching you bullying that boy. It’s mostly 3 pm when you had your second poo. You waited for me outside the AVON office when I got a call from your papa (Mama’s having business transaction inside). We took you upstairs for a wash and you were anxious to get inside the map tub of that restroom. Test was finished but then the clinic was closed when we arrived. ‘Twas too late so we went home still worried about you. The next day, you were happily okay. You ate lots of fresh bananas and you want to eat it without mama helping you.

We love you so much Ora! And we wish you good health always! J

Still a busy 2011???

What have I been up to this month???

From a busy 2010 to a still busy 2011! Yes! … And I did nothing today within these four corners of my working station. After my turn for the website’s photo shoot I came to gather round these things I have in my bag. These are the reasons why I would sometimes hear complaints from Oscar about how heavy my bag weighs. You see? Moisture Therapy Oatmeal Body lotion, my all time favorite Victoria’s Secret Pure Seduction (I just love the smell!), peach blusher, fantasy red lipstick, flavor savers lip balm down to this red flush lip defining pencil. They were all part of my busy life!

Not to mention my pen and paper for my Nihonggo lingo lecture! Oh yes! I just started studying the Kanji and Hiragana/ Katakana thing and I’m perfectly trying hard to learn. Kanji once are too tricky to read. But apart from that I enjoyed all the learning and still genki!
