Mommy Moments: Mother's Day 2010

At first, I wanted to skip this week's MM because the theme was Mother's Day and I really don't have much to share about that day. 

I started that day (it was actually 'night' because we were all still awake during the wee hours of the morning) with a hug, a kiss, and a greeting from hubby... The End... 


Actually, I was a bit sad that day since I wasn't able to visit my Mom and give her something. I just called her up to greet her and to tell her that I love her. That's it. I also didn't receive a card or a flower from hubby **sigh** and my babies are... well, babies, so they couldn't possibly come up with a card. However, I really appreciate all the bloggers, online friends, and "offline friends" :) who extended their greetings to me. I really felt remembered with all the FB photo tagging, wall posts, and mails.



Before I started making this post, I read Mommy Chris' MM entry and she noted that we should write about why this year's Mother's Day is special for us. That is why I still decided to join in this week.

Mother's Day 2010 is indeed very special for me since this year marks my evolution into a full-pledge, hands-on, full-time, super mommy. Yes, I was the one who took care of Yana before and we never had a nanny (until now) but it was so much easier then. Though I had a full-time home based job at that time, I found mommyhood more manageable before because I only had to take care of one baby.

Now, I instantly have three babies and I've got my hands full- literally. My Yana, Yza, and Ysha made me realize all the hassles that come with the world's most rewarding but demanding job. Sometimes I just want to cry, especially if they all cry at the same time and I can't seem to choose who should I attend to first. I also barely sleep now and our financial probs have gone big time since I couldn't work properly with all the nannying I have to do...(please do share some blog monetizing tips)...

Anyway, amidst all these things, I'm proud to say that this Mother's Day, I've become a real mommy - to the bones. Haha! I've grown stronger and tougher and no matter what happens, I know I can handle anything. Why? because I'm a mommy and Mommies are simply the toughest people on earth.

P.S. Mommies, I'm going to have my first ever blog contest this June and maybe you can be sponsors. I'm giving $20 Paypal Cash on my part and ad spaces, Mommy Rose has pledged $10, Mommy Vernz offered $5, and Mommy Chris has EC credits. You can check about the blog contest theme here:  http://ejcayaba.blogspot.com/2010/05/wanted-sponsors-for-my-breaking-free.html . I can also email you the mechanics if you'd leave your email add here or on the original post. I really want to make this contest a success.. please help me. Thanks!

Our rewards as Moms are not on the material things that our children and family give us, but it is the joy that they give that makes our life as moms "tolerable." ; ) I commend you for being a super mommy ;)

Being a mommy is a 24-hour job; in your case, you get to be a mommy three times, and that's really tough. Congratulations for being a hands-on mom to your three kids. My Mommy Moments entry is up, too! I can also pledge EC credits for your contest. Just contact me anytime.

I didn't have gifts from the hubby nor my son either. But because of them, I'm a mom and its enough! 3 babies... wow, that's a lot to chew on. Kudos to you for doing such a good job :)

Hi! I am feeling you..although I have only one son to take care to, it is like I am taking care of three! I don't have a yaya too because they don't want a stranger live in their house. But, above of it all, taking care of my baby myself made me feel proud and happy especially when he has accomplished something....

P.S.
Can you send me the details of the contest. I want to pledge for EC and ad space :-)

Real Leaf Paparazzi

I have never been a fan of sodas. Nor did I ever engage in a one-night spree with beer or vodka. Instead, I have always loved ice-cold tea. Drinking tea is a habit I’ve developed since I was in college and my ‘tea-addictivity’ has never wavered since. I’ve patiently put up with teabags for years but fortunately, bottled-up teas are now available and distributed in heaps. These days, I’m much fond of Nestea’s Real Leaf Tea and I share this fondness with my two closest “allies” – my partner in life and my younger brother. W hat follows is our one big atte mpt to encourage more people to engage in our quest for a Real Life with Coca Cola’s Real Le af tea (and of course, an attempt to get a prize from Nuffnang's exciting contest- Real Leaf Paparazzi!)… This is the typical “Juan” trying to have a Real Life. With the help of the Real Leaf tea, my brother 'John' tries to stay 100% on. He tries to relieve the exhaustion, stress, and anxiety brought by… (a) a hard day’s work as a n...

Life In Taborea: The World Of Runes Of Magic

Runes of Magic (RoM) is a free massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by the Taiwanese developer Runewaker Entertainment. It's here in the Philippines now, and has been in Open Beta since January 8. My brother is addicted to the game and I have read a lot of rave reviews about it. The most frequent of which is the fact that its graphics are very appealing and quite realistic. S et in a fantasy world filled with magic, monsters, and heroes, it gives you an out of this world experience as you try out a variety of quests and battle with f ellow players and monsters. Whenever you take on your character - may it be a rogue, mage, priest, warrior, or knight, you will feel as if you're leading a double life. Those who have loved DOTA and World of Warcraft will definitely enj oy this game more. If you want to know more about the game, please check http://www.runesofmagic.com.ph/ . ............................................................. PRELUDE At times...

Mommy Moments: Dear Mommy

Dear Mommy Dear Mommy, your child is your princess. She is your responsibility. If not for her own sake, never let her get hurt by any means. Dear Mommy, your child is your fan. She learns and takes after what you do, how you feel, where you go, how you react, what you think, why you love and why you hate. For her, be the best. Do not fail at being a good person for she too might suffer the same fate. Dear Mommy, your child is your student. Teach her everything that you know and guide her in every way that you can. Bombard her with good thoughts, warm emotions, and logical and critical reasoning. Empower her with love, understanding and patience. Dear Mommy, your child is your flesh and blood. Accept her. Recognize the whole of her - strengths, weaknesses, successes, and failures. Never forsake her for making wrong decisions and doing wrong things. She needs your guidance and your encouragement, not your pity, pride, and punishment. She needs you even when she says she doesn...
