Buhay Nanay

Buhay Nanay Pagmulat pa lang sa umaga, abala na ang aking pag iisip sa mga gagawin sa buong araw. Ninanamnam ang konting sandaling katahimikan ngunit alam kong ito'y hindi magtatagal, dahil sa ilang saglit muling iingay ang paligid sa pag-uusap, pagtawa at pag iyak ng mga bata, ito na ang nagsilbing musika sa aking pandinig sa bawat araw. Mga gawaing tila walang katapusan...paghahanda para sa pagpasok sa eskwela ng mga bata, pagtuturo sa kanilang aralin, paglalaba, pamamalengke, pagluluto, paghuhugas ng mga plato, pagpapadede, pagpapatulog...isama pa dyan ang pagdidisiplina, pagtuturo ng tama...hay, teka ako'y hihinga muna. Ako'y napapagod din sa ganitong takbo ng buhay, minsan nais kong ako'y mapag isa, mag relax, at namnamin ang mga bagay na parang matagal ko ng hindi nagagawa; gumala sa mall, mag ukay-ukay, kumain sa paboritong fast food chain ng wala munang iniisip na mga bata, walang hinahabol na oras at walang mag tetext na asawa para tanungin, "saan ka na?". Sa kabila ng kaabalahan, kapaguran at hindi magawang mga nais, ako'y hindi nagsisisi, bagkus ako'y nagpapasalamat sa Panginoon na ako'y naging ina at pinagkatiwalaan Niya ng 3 anak. Ito'y konting panahon lang at lilipas din yung lagi silang nakadikit sa iyo, laging tumatawag ng "mama", kung saan sa iyo umiikot ang mundo nila. Pagkalipas ng ilang taon lalaki din sila at magkakaroon ng sariling pag iisip, kaya habang sila'y bata pa, itotodo ko na ang aking pagka-ina at gagawin ang lahat ng makakaya para sa kanila. ------------------------ Mother Life The moment I wake up in the morning, my mind already gets busy on the things that I will be doing for the whole day, enjoying the short quietness, but I know it will not take long, because after a short while, my surrounding will be noisy again with talks, laughter and cries of our kids, these became music to my ears daily. The work that seems never ending...preparing the kids going to school, teaching them their lessons, washing clothes, going to the market, cooking, washing plates, breastfeeding, putting the baby to sleep, add to it the disciplining and teaching good values to them...sigh, wait let me breath first. I also get tired in this kind of life, sometimes I just want to be alone, to be relax, and to savor the things that I haven't done for a long time; going to the mall, buy clothes in second hand stores, eat in my favorite fast food chain and not thinking of the kids, no time to chase and no texting from my husband asking, "where are you now"? In spite of busyness, tiredness and was not able to do what I like, I don't regret it, but I am thankful to God that I became a mother and He had entrusted us 3 kids. This is just for a season, it will not last long where they always wanted to be beside you, where they always call you "mama", where their world is you. After a few years they will grow up, they will have their own choices, that is why I will make the most of it as their mother and will try to do my best for them. #myjourneythoughts #buhaynanay #3kidsjourney #journeyunbound

Marriage Time

My husband and I are already married for 8 years and since we have kids we rarely have time to be just together and enjoy each other's company just like we often do when it was just the two of us. We had attended a course a few years ago, called Marriage Course, and one topic that was tackled there was about marriage time, it is a time you set aside to spend time with your spouse at least once a week. You have to be intentional in doing it and be consistent, it means you have to plan; when is the right day and time, how much is your budget, where are you going to go; movie house, coffeeshop, watch the sunset in the beach or in the bay this depends on your location, or stay in the house and spend time together when kids are asleep, tipid pa, or do things you both enjoy and etc. What we do sometimes is when our kids are already sleeping, we will buy some snacks or cook eggs and noodles, or just make a cup of coffee and spend time together. In doing this, it had helped us to talk and be open to address issues that's affecting our marriage and our relationship with our kids and also we're able to know each other more. It doesn't need to be expensive, just be creative. The goal of this is to nourish your relationship as husband and wife, it helps to continue to fuel that four pillars of relationship; love, respect and understanding you have for each other and build a better and stronger marriage. To those who have heard about it and tried, I believe you knew the benefits it had brought to your marriage, to those who want to try it, go for it! It will surely help you. God bless.❣? #thejourneyoffive
