Living Mye Life

Aubrey often asked me to help her with her school assignments. But when she reached high school she learned to do it alone and I thought she’s getting smarter everyday. But when she really can’t do it she cries for help and that is the only time it’s about time to rescue my niece. At first, she had a hard time making an essay. It really bothers her that her works should get a high grades to maintain her position in their class top 5. That’s the time I told her to explore around the internet since she knows to do it on her own. She gladly informs me that there are a lot of free essays to choose from and she can even study some of them for future assignments.

I’m happy that my niece is becoming a responsible teen ager. She’s now good in writing especially on essays and also on her music skills. She participates in school activities and has been elected as class officer. She always updates me with her school performances and sometimes I can’t help but to feel proud that I’m a part of her achievements in life. I just wish she can continue in focusing on her studies. I will always be here if she needed her Aunt’s help.

It is the highest form of self-respect to admit our errors and mistakes and make amends for them. To make a mistake is only an error in judgment, but to adhere to it when it is discovered shows infirmity of character. ~Dale E. Turner

It’s been a rough week for us. With some people who don’t even know the word respect, you can expect how low and how pathetic they can be without even thinking the consequences of their actions. I just hope we can get away with this. Though I’m sure that no matter how we tried to straighten things out, the damage has been done and it was known to many.

I really can’t believe that people can be like that. And I pray that they will come to their senses. Though I really doubt it, everybody deserves to have second chances. This quote really reminds me of then, “you can't teach the old dogs, new tricks”. But they better learn quick before time runs out, and you can never turn back the hands of time any more.

My niece sent me a message late this afternoon that deeply saddens me. My old pet Hedwig falls from the stairs from the rooftop to the second floor. They didn’t know what or how did it happened but my sister only finds out when she’s looking for our dog to feed him and she found him at the rooftop lying in the floor soaking wet from the rain and unable to move. She said she saw Hedwig walking in pain but today is different, she was crying in pain every time they tried moving her in a better place.

My mom said she saw him eating well when my sister gave her the food she brought from our home. But now my niece said she doesn’t move anymore and she seems like dying. My heart really aches and I cant help but to think on how can she fall from the stairs like that. Hedwig is my loyal dog who watches over me every time of the day when I’m still living in our family home in Pasay. As much as I wanted to bring her with me when I got married, I can’t and I left her with my sisters so she can guard them since they are all girls in that house when my Dad stayed in our Laguna house and my only brother went to Qatar.

I don’t know what to do to ease her pain. I want to bring her to the vet clinic but they might recommend putting her to sleep since she’s old and they can’t do anything if there are broken bones. Tomorrow, I will visit her in our house and will talk to her heart to heart. I know she will listen. If she’s hurting much, it’s time to let her go and send her to the rainbow bridge. If she can still make it, I will be forever grateful. She will always be loved till the day that she needs to move on. God knows.

It’s your special day, Mama Mary! Today we celebrate and remember all the sacrifices you’ve done for your children. I thank you for giving me such blessing and the one that I’ve been praying for so long. I can’t thank you enough for being so patient and understanding and praying for us your children. We ask for your intercession and continue to pray for us. I will be forever grateful for this lifetime and for guiding us to the right path. I love you Mama Mary and Happy Birthday!

I thought I can get away when most of the people around me are getting sick one by one. I can only pray that it will never happen to me but I was wrong. I got sick and it really makes me weak. I can’t take care of Nathan because he might get the virus and bacteria and good thing hubby is here to take charge. Nate’s grandmas are out to attend some important occasions and we were left to stay at home. Hubby is quite tired to go out for the first time and when he realize that it’s weekend and we should enjoy our rest days, it was too late, my colds is getting worst and I’m having cough also. Not just that, due to colds and having a little sleep, my head is aching all the time! I can only cry. And when I tried to stop Nathan from falling from the bed, something happens to my neck and suddenly I have this painful stiff neck! Talk about being lucky.

I hope I can better now that I’m starting to drink my medicine. I hate being like this. I’m hoping I can get well soon.

Time really flies and its BER months again.  I can see some early Christmas decorations on sale in the malls and some few stores having an early display.  Well, Philippines is well known on celebrating the longest Christmas ever and it’s the most awaited event of the year.  

Our hands are full on the coming months including Nathan’s first birthday and hubby said we shouldn’t forget our anniversary celebration.  He plans to celebrate it out of town but I want to concentrate more on Nathan’s upcoming party.  And I guess he will agree on that.

I’m having a heavy heart now in my work.  Few people just can’t seem to please and that we can’t explain why.  I’ve been in this job for almost 8 years now and I’ve learned to just do what my work requires me to do and shut down all the negative vibes coming my way. I just wish we can work on harmonious way but I guess some people don’t even know the meaning of that word. 

It’s Friday again and after a long weekend last week that we spent on going out, I hope I can rest well this time.  But with Nathan around who seems to forget how to get tired, good luck to us.  Happy Weekend to all!
