3 years and 5 months

Entom ko,, ngayon ay 3 years and 5 months old ka na,,,
How time flies...
from now on, i'll blog everything about us, since tatay is out of the country, i'll blog everything we do together,, hoping someday mabasa mo ito..

by this time we already surpassed the 'potty training' stage, actually, we did it before you turn 3.
i'm so proud of you kasi natuto ka lang by mere  observation lang kina ate yesha at ate heina, siguro nagyayabang ka lang ren na kaya mo ren ginagwa nila kaya, at an early age natutuo ka na magwiwi at mag poopoo sa cr, although at night syempre me diaper ka pa ren pra di bahain ang kama natin,

i know sometimes, nalulungkot ka, simula nung umalis si yesha, wala ka na makalaro, that's why i make it a point na makapunta tayo sa riverbanks kasi nakikita kita masaya naglalaro sa arcade, you would non-stop ask me to go to 'iverbank' and 'shoot ball' which sometimes i use to bribe just to get you to sleep.

i really wanted you to attend to school na, but unfortunately, natatakot ako baka di kayanin ng budget natin, and although me day care, we tried to inquire one time, but they said they only accept kids 4yo and above, maybe next year.. i wanted you to mingle with other kids that's why i allowed you to play with our neighbor's kids sometimes, though i know they would only make fun of you because you are the youngest amongst them.

also during these time, ang hirap mo na patulugin, i wonder why?! before, it would only take me 15 mins and you're TKo, now we would take up to an hour before i hear you snore (haist!) and unluckily sometimes, i'm the one who doze up first =').

i'm really cautious nowadays,especially with numerous broken things lying allover the house, and the culprit is,,, you!  i found my headset's mic jack pulled off,, my new pen, new alarm clock, my notes, the flashlight i use at night to prepare your milk, etc. tht's why forgive me, because i won't never lend you my new fone,, ='p

already a year since tatay left for saudi, really a big adjustment, got used to uninterrupted sleep, but since ian left, have to wake up in the wee hours just to give you milk.

enchong the techie, sometimes, i just want to sell the pc, because most of the time i am unable to use it, everytime im in front on our pc, in a minute or 2, you're already sitting/standing beside me, bugging me 'ako aman..' distracting my focus (on fb), asking too many questions or water or 'dede', and when you're already seated you'll just browse thru youtube's barney, teletubbies, kids in slide, kids in playground, etc. again and again.. if not in youtube you are playing Y8, maybe that's the reason the first thing you remember on a computer keyboard is the letter 'Y' (aside from O), oh.. i really wish you would learn a lot (educational) of things surfing the net everyday.

day by day i'm trying to be a good mother/father to you, although we fight most of the times, you know how much i love you, you will always be my first born, my enchong...

SALMO part 2

MAGALAK NA UMAWIT

Magalak na umawit sa Panginoon
Kayong banal umawit ng himig na bago

Poo'y pasalamatan at gitara'y gamitin
Sa pagtugtog ng lira maghandog ng awitin
O awitan S'yang palagi ng bagong awitin
At buong lakas at galing mong tugtugin

Ang kanyang mga balakin mananatili kailanman
At sa bawat salinlahi ang pusong nag aasam
Lahat tayo ay magdiwang sa Diyos na Panginoon
Tayo'y magalak at pinili nya tayo

Buong puso ko at diwa sa D'yos lang nag aabang
Pagkat tanging iyon lamang lakas ko at sanggalang
Sapagkat sa kanya lamang sila'y kagalakan
Magtiwala sa banal Niyang ngalan


* * * * *


NAWA'y PAGPALAIN


Nawa'y pagpalain tayo ng D'yos at kahabagan
Nawa'y pagpalain tayo ng D'yos at kahabagan

O Diyos kaawaan at pagbigyan
Kami ay iyong tanglawan
Ituro sa amin ang 'yong daan
Sa bansa 'yong kaligtasan

Ang mga bansa'y magsaya't magalak
Katarungan mo'y umiiral
Ika'y naghahari sa'ming lahat
At kami'y ginagabayan

Nawa'y pagpalain natin ang Diyos
Tayo na kanyang nilalang
Nawa'y pagpalain tayo ng Diyos
Lahat ng may takot sa kanya

* * * * *

NGAYON AY ISINILANG

Ngayon ay isinilang dakilang mananakop
Sa ati'y isinilang si Kristong Panginoon

Awitan ang Panginoon ng bagong awitin
Awitan ang Panginoon ng buong daigdig
Awitan ang Panginoon ng bagong awitin
Awitan ang Panginoon ngalan nya ay purihin

Ipagbunyi't ipahayag ninyo sa bawat araw
Ang dakilang kaligtasan na galing sa kanya
Inyong ipamalita sa lahat ng mga bansa
Ang kanyang kapangyariha't kahanga hangang ginawa

Magdiwang ang kalangitan magalak ang kalupaan
Ang lahat ng nasa dagat umugong sa tuwa
Magdiwang ang kapatagan at lahat ng kanyang bunga
Ang lahat ng mga puno lumukso na sa tuwa

Lahat tayo ay magdiwang narito ang Panginoon
Dumarating sa atin upang Sya ay mamuno
Sya ay may katarungan gayundin at kaharian
tayo ay huhukuman ng may katapatan

* * * * *

PINUPURI KITA PANGINOON

Pinupuri kita Panginoon
Sapagkat niligtas mo Ako
Pinupuri kita Panginoon
Sapagkat niligtas mo Ako

Pinupuri kita sapagkat ako'y ligtas
Di hahayaang kaawa'y magdiwang
Hinango ako sa daigdig ng patay
Inadya mo sa nanaog sa hukay

Magsiawit kayong umiibig sa Kanya
Pasalamatan Kanyang pangalan
Ang galit Niya'y sandali lamang
Ang pag ibig Niya ay magpakailanman

Nakikinig Siya at puno ng habag
Handa Niya akong tulungan
Panaghoy ay kanyan ginagawang sayawan
O Diyos kita'y pasasalamatan


* * * * *

PUNUAN MO AKO

Punuan mo Ako ng pagpapala mo
At aawitin ko'ng kapurihan mo

Ikaw lang ang aking sandigan
Aking lakas upang ako ay maligtas
Pagkat ika'y batong aking lakas
Palayain mo ako sa mga masasama

Ikaw Poon aking pag asa
Tiwala ko sa'yo'y noon pa man
Mula pa nang ako'y isinilang
Hanggang ngayon ako'y tinutulungan

Gawa mo ay aking sasambitin
Katarungan mo'y aking ipagbubunyi
Ang turo mo sa 'king kabataan
Pupurihin ko ang iyong gawang kahanga hanga

* * * * *

SALUBUNGIN ANG PANGINOON

Salubungin ang Panginoon
S'ya ang hari ng kal'walhatian

Sa Panginoon ang sangkalupaan
Ang mundo at sangkatauhan
S'ya ang nag aayos ng karagatan
Mga tubig pinagtitibay N'ya

Sinong aakyat sa bundok ng Poon
Sinong tatayo sa banal N'yang pook
Ang taong may malinis na puso
Di hangad ang bagay ng mundo

Tatanggap ng pagpapala ang taong
Nananalig sa Panginoon
Sa kanya Diyos ang itinatangi
Banal N'yang mukha'y hahanapin

SALMO

Christmas is fast approaching,, trying to make a moviemaker for these specific song we sung during misa de gallo,, but first i need to post the lyrics so that when i try to edit on another computer i can easily find it,, hehe,,, thanks to technology,,



ANG KABUTIHAN NG PANGINOON

ang kabutihan ng Panginoon aking aawitin habang panahon
ang kabutihan ng Panginoon aking aawitin habang panahon

Aawitin ko iyong pag ibig o Diyos
Ang iyong katapatan sa lahat ng araw
Batid ko nang pag ibig mo'y walang hanggan
Katapatan mo'y singtibay ng kalangitan

Sa 'king pinili ako'y mayroong tipan
Sa lingkod kong si David aking sinumpaan
Ang 'yong angkan aking itatatag kailanpaman
Sa bawat salinlahi iyong kaharian

Sasabihin N'yang ikaw ang aking Ama
Ang Diyos panulukan kong magliligtas
Pag-ibig ko sa kanya'y mananatili kailanman
Para sa kanya'y tipang hindi magwawakas


* * * * *
AWIT NG KAPAYAPAAN


Maghahari ang katarungan sa kanyang panahon
Kapayapaan magpakailanman


O Diyos igawad mo sa hari ang iyong hatol
Sa mahal Niyang anak ang katarungan mo
Ang bayan mo'y hukuman sa katarungan
At mga dukha ng may katuwiran

Ang mga bundok nawa'y dalhin ang kapayapaan
At mga kapatagan, katarungan sa lahat
Ang mga aba nawa'y ipagtanggol Niya
At tulutan ng ginhawa ang mga anak

Maghahari ang katarungan sa kanyang panahon
At ang kapayapaan ay di magtatapos
Sa mga karagatan Siya'y mamumuno
Simula ilog hanggang sa dulo ng mundo

Nawa'y papurihan ang dakilang ngalan N'ya
Tulad ng dakilang araw magpakailanman
Basbasan nawa Niya ang lahat ng sangkatauhan
At mga bansa'y pupurihin ang ngalan N'ya


* * * * *

AWIT NI MARIA

Ang puso ko'y nagpupuri sa Panginoon kong tagapagligtas
Ang puso ko'y nagpupuri sa Panginoon kong tagapagligtas

Ang puso ko'y nagpupuri sa aking Panginoon
Ang lakas koy galing sa Diyos
Ako ay tumatawa sa mga kaaway
Nagpupuri sa iyong mapagpalayang kamay

Kanyang winawasak ang sibat ng mga malalakas
Ngunit ang mga aba'y pinatatatag
Ang mayroon ay nawawalan ngunit ang gutom ay pinupunan
Ang baog ay binibigyan ng mga anak

Ang poon ay tagabigay ng buhay at kamatayan
Siya lang ang aking tagapagligtas
Ang nagbibigay ng dalita at kayamanan
Itinataas ang tao sa kahirapan

Itinataas nya ang mga abang alipin
Inihahanay sa mga hari
Sapagkat ang sandigan ng mundo ay sa kaniya
Sa Kanya galing ang buong sanlibutan


* * * * *

ITAAS ANG IYONG ULO

Itaas ang 'yong ulo at yong pagmasdan kaligtasan ay narito na
Itaas ang 'yong ulo at yong pagmasdan kaligtasan ay narito na

Ang kalooban mo ay ituro mo O Diyos
Ituro mo sa akin na aba mong lingkod
Sa landas na matuwid turuan mo ako
Ikaw lang ang Diyos ko't Panginoon

Mabuti ang Poon at makatarungan pa
Makasalana'y kaniyang tinuturuan
Sa mababang loob Siya lamang ang gabay
Tinuturuan ng katarungan

Tapat sa pag-ibig kung Siya'y umaakay
Sa tumatalima sa utos na tipan
Sa tumatalima Siya'y kaibigan
Siya'y guro ng banal N'yang tipan

R L

Rupert, a variant of Robert, is Old German-derived and means: bright fame.

Lawrence means - crowned with laurel

but honestly, i named enchong from his two Lolos..

my father - Ruperto,

and my father in law- Lorenzo

but my husband altered it to Lawrence,, he said to make it unique and in some way to honor one of our mentor/ninong, who is a priest,,

Enchong came from Enzo, from Lorenzo

everytime someone would ask me, that is my usual answer and followed by the punchline "pang mahirap kasi, dapat Enzo,, yaan mo pag yumaman kami Enzo na,,,lol!)

january 31, 2009

the night before,, i can already feel a pain at my torso,, the ripping your bones feeling,, at first i was not aware that it is already a sign of labor pains, but as the pain progress and i did take notice of the intervals,, i realized the time is coming,, unfortunately, we dont have any electricity that night, so aside from the labor pains that i'm experiencing every 2 hours,, it was a hot and sweaty sleepless night.

the next morning i already saw a spotting on my undies, so my husband decided to excuse himself from work and accompany me to the clinic,, unfortunately, we dont have enough money to go to hospital, and since my sister six months earlier delivered her baby safely on that clinic we also decided to have my delivery on the same place,,

hah! i remember that time, when we arrived at the clinic, the midwife was still on her way, so it was her assistant who accomodate me, getting all vital signs like bp, pulse rate,, and the device they use to hear the baby's heartbeat,, and she told us that there i a possibility that we will be having twin,, we were surpised by her announcement and we began to worry re the bills, and the question on our mind,, are you sure?! Luckily, the midwife already came, she checked again the baby's heartbeat and assure us that it is only a single baby,, oh! how i wish i could bury her assistant! LOL!

and then she did the IE, and made an assumption that if not the next day, maybe the day after, that i'll be giving birth,, we got home, and advised my husband to just go on half day..

the same day,, around 7pm,, the labor pain intervals became less,, and at the moment the pain intervals became 10 mins, i demanded to be brought to the clinic again,, the midwife did IE again and told me anytime the baby will come out, i was already given  forms to fill, again the bp,, and now for the first time experienced having a needle inserted on my vein,, ouch!

the midwife still took their dinner with some of her staff, while the interns inteviewed me while i roll down in pain,, hehe,, there was a time when i was curling from labor pains, and this nurse keeps on asking me, when was my last mens?! wtf?! i have to tell her,, "wait lang miss,, masakit eh,," and i cried out on my hubbys shoulder when he comes inside the dr,, unfortunately he was advised to juts wait outside the dr,, fortunately,, when the midwife fineshed the dinner and was already checking on me, my water broke,,

at 8:59pm, 31st of January.. Rupert Lawrence said hi to the world!

weighing, 8.6 lbs! whoa!

,, he was a quiet baby,, we were 3 new moms inside the clinic, and for the whole time we were there i think i only heard him cry once, and that was the time he was already hungry, unfotunately, i dont have enough milk for him, so we  just bought the same brand of milk my niece have,, 

quiet baby?! i think i was wrong,, the following night was hell, this baby cant go to sleep without being cuddle by me or his father so, fo the next month, i ahve to stay late, just to make sure he is already in 'deep' sleep before i could lay him on bed, and sad to say, during siesta time, i have to fall asleep with him on my arms, thank God there are a lot of pillows where i could rest my arms,, Luckily, the moment we were able to analyze, he could easily sleep on his lay on the side position,, we got the best sleep since he came,,

pers taym..

its my first time 'again' to blog,, i think my last blog dated around college days pa,, so here i am again struggling again with the keyboard to express all the things that comes to my mind,,

as i.ve said, my previous blog was dated a few years ago,, and now since i am already a mom with a 'super kulit' 2 yr old kid,, i think i could post more things about myself, being a wife and a mom,,

2006- i met my husband while waiting for my co officers on our youth org for our weekly core group meeting,, i saw this guy,, since his face is not familiar, at first i thought he is some kind of a cellphone snatcher (lol ='p),, need not to worry i already told him re my first impression on him a couple of times,, that night every time he passes by i would hide my fone under my shirt,, hehe,,

days passed, we were planning a concert for all the youth in the parish,,we formed a band and was looking a base guitar, one of my friend introduced him and he became our bassist for the band,, we exchanged numbers and that is where our story begins,, we became a couple August 22, 2006, and said 'i do' on Oct. 18, 2008..
