When you love and truly enjoy what you are doing, time flies by so fast. This is how I feel when I try to blog or write during my very short time of solitude. I love to write my thoughts and get to know myself more through it. Words or writing is an effective means of showing your existence. And through it, we can speak to each other across time even when I am no longer of this world.
Happy blogging everyone! Hope this post finds you well.
“It inspires me to write when I am happy and I see beauty.
But I think I write more when I am sad…”
My dear dad and step mom called me on the phone. I was very glad to hear from my dad. He was very ill last year, and now he undergoes kidney dialysis. He is so much better. My heart was leaping for joy to hear his voice especially when he said, “How can I forget this day?”
My mother and sister called me using Facetime. I was very happy to see them too. I usually think of my mom on my birthday. I know the pain of giving birth! Kudos to her!
My brother, his wife, and my nieces greeted me too. They updated me of the good news happening in their lives. I am happier to know that they are doing well in life.
My best friend, Larmee emailed me saying she screwed up with her birthday surprise. She said she put my email address instead of hers in the billing notification for whatever surprise that she has for me. I was clueless until she sent me that email. That way, she screwed up with the surprise. Not a surprise anymore!!! hahaha!
I do not use Facebook anymore so there is no reminder to everyone that it is my birthday. So I truly appreciate the people who exerted effort to text me instead or leave me messages saying their warm wishes. And for those who are not good with remembering dates (just like me), I know they will greet me once they remember or find out! Not a problem with me!
This morning my two kids were singing me a birthday song. These human beings who literally were a part of my body, who came from me… It is music to my ears to hear them sing.
After dropping off my son to school, I invited three of my friends to join me for breakfast at home. I was happy to be with them. A company of good friends is really valuable.
Tonight, my family will just eat out. So no cooking dinner for me today!
I decided not to run on the treadmill, not to do the laundry today. I will sit back and relax. I lit up a candle on my altar and said a prayer. Actually, I just said THANK YOU.
I do not own fancy things. Remember I am Miss Thrift Shopper! And I do not need expensive stuff as gifts. Family, friends, peace of mind, quiet time are the BEST GIFTS ever! Indeed, these are priceless. I will never trade for anything in the world.

God bless us everyone! Keep blogging, Keep inspiring!!!

Writing my thoughts
Entering into a black hole
It’s like being in a totally different world…
It is a world inside my head
Where I meet other souls like you
Alone with our words and feeling our emotions
A lot of things in my head
So many words to say
It comforts me to know
I can be heard without without judgments
I can say what I want to say
I can be true to myself
Thank God for the words
Thank humans for the means
Writing is my friend
It is my constant companion.
There are so many things to write about. Don’t you agree?
There are too many choices if you will just look around.
We can write about our feelings and emotions,
What made us happy, what made us sad
What frightened us, and what made us mad.
We can write about our thoughts, ideas and opinions
Of how things and people should be,
And how you see the world as it is.
We can write about different places
The wonderful and beautiful places we have seen and we like to see
Write about our dreams and fantasies,
Everything and everyone our hearts long for.
Even the unpleasant experiences turn out to be inspiration
The unlikable people may drive us to write
Just be aware and listen to your heart
You will know what to say
You will know what to write.
I wish I have more time
To sit in front of my computer
To click on these keyboards
To type in the words
My mind and heart dictate
I will sneak out from time to time
Got to attend to Mama duties
The day is still long
As well as the night
My eyes will be open
To the beauty of life
I surely will come back
I will share to the world
Before I started blogging, one of my goals was to figure out something about me. I got caught up with my responsibilities, I am not even sure what my passion in life is. Of course, being a good mother and wife is my ultimate passion. But what else is there for me? I stopped working and being a career woman in 2010. Now, I know that I am a great housekeeper and cook, but what else is in there?
What is my passion? Is it something that is always in your mind? Is it something that you do and you do not even realize the time? Is it something you do hoping you will leave a legacy/mark even just to your family? Is it something you enjoy even without getting paid? I get these feelings when I write… when I blog. Is writing my passion? I did not even have a formal training for it. I do not even know if I have a talent. Am I on the right path??? I am still trying to figure it out.
I WRITE BECAUSE
I have my quiet time (baby is napping)
I am bored
I am inspired
I am hurt
I am happy
I am annoyed
I am grateful
I am blessed
I am feeling
I am thinking
I am recording my experiences
I want to connect
I want to share
I want to learn
I am free
I am ALIVE!
It surely is nice to have many followers. It is tempting to focus on getting the stats up but I keep reminding myself, I am doing this for me. I am here to savor my journey through life. I am hoping my children will read this someday, and learn so much about their mother. It can also be nice that friends or family can get to know me more as well. I will be happy even if I get to inspire one person. I will be glad to have one person learn something or be comforted with my words. I hope to spread good vibes, to let you know that you are not alone. We share experiences, both pleasant and BAD. It is all good!!!
Have a blessed day!
I have always wanted to write, but could not find the time. I do not have a formal training in writing. I am not sure if I can blog. However, deep within, I have always felt the need to express myself in writing. Like music, it gives that satisfaction. I do not know if writing is one of my passions in life. So I have to find out. Since I was in high school, I have been fond of keeping a little diary or journal. Writing is a part of me. It has helped me survive and appreciate my life. I believe writing will help with self expression, introspection, and soul searching.
I am always busy with everyday routine. I have been a stay at home mom since November 2010. I have focused myself on my children, the home, the family. I am actually writing now while my little one is taking a nap! I used to have a career, but after having children, I chose a different path. I say that from my personal experience, being a full time mother is more rewarding and challenging in different ways. I am not saying this is true for others. We are all different. And I am speaking for myself. With all the changes, in the midst of the daily routine, sometimes I get the feeling that I have lost something. I am not regretting any of my choice and it is nobody’s fault. I just believe that there comes a point when you start to search for your passion. Right now I am reading a book entitled “I am that girl” by Alexis Jones. It says that “Clues to your passion are always around you….You’ll only find your passion if you search and fight to discover it.”
I hope this blogging will help me find my passion and realize something beautiful. I hope I can also inspire other people and learn from them as well. We are all here for a purpose, definitely we can learn from each others’ experiences.
