Thankful for Today
Monday, September 14
I know I am not a great person.
I have my own weaknesses, mistakes with which I often think of as a disparity of what my parents told me when I was still younger.
I grew up in a simple family in the Philippines with meager ways of living.
I can't seem to think of it as a life I wished for but for sure I knew it was a life I wanted to improve.
I had a vision.
A vision to help my family.
As the eldest amongst four siblings, I had my fair share of the household chores to baby sitting my younger sister and brother.
The scene from my memory is not at all flattering.
It was very tiresome for me.
Time to be positive and ultimately Lean on to God for all the challenges my way.
I see it as challenging since my life now and my career does not seem to work to well but I know and I trust in God for everything.
I am thankful that despite all the mistakes I have had committed, I can still recover from it and that there is always another chance to bring myself up.
Just so as this blog who has been my daily companion, this blog has become my strength to go on..
I know I don't have much , but I know I have the world to tell of what life can be.
It can be hard, it can be frustrating, but that's just how it is.
We are winners after all.
We all have our own battles to fight and win.
Let us all stay strong and have a lot of faith.
For we know that God's love will never cease.
Share the love my fellow mommies.
My fellow workers.
My fellow bloggers.
My friends from all over the world.
As you read this post, think of the things that you have and what you are grateful for.
Appreciate all of life's complexities and circumstances.
Breathe. Get up and Live!
Love!

Sugbu Mercado: Weekend Food Market [Update]
Friday, September 11
Sugbo Mercado Weekend Food and Lifestyle Market finally opens on September 25, 2015! Starting with fifty food and lifestyle product providers, Sugbo Mercado will be the first and the biggest year-round weekly food and lifestyle market in Cebu!
 |
| The event has been rescheduled to open September 25, 2015 |
Located on a wooded, grassy knoll at the corner of Geonzon and Villa Streets (beside Avida Showroom Office) in IT Park, Sugbo Mercado is proud to partner with Cebu Holdings Incorporated. We bring together the best of the best of Cebu as well as budding new entrepreneurs in the local food & lifestyle products industry to showcase their products in a tour de force of local pride.
Joining us for our launching weekend are our co-presentors: the biggest global brand in online classifieds, OLX Philippines; the purveyor of the Philippine Experience, The Islands Group; and Digitel Mobile Philippines' Sun Cellular.
"Kung dili na gamiton, ibaligya na" goes OLX Philippines' tagline as it allows the exploration of the old saying that goes, "one man's discard is another's treasure." Say, "Yesss, yaman!" at onsite pickups or swap meets, get free discount coupons from OLX to use at participating Sugbo Mercado tenants and catch OLX's brand ambassador, Jewel, perform live onstage!
Sugbo Mercado goes local all the way to our entertainment with opening night performances by fresh, independent Cebuano talents. David Wilde X Zeejacob headlines the lineup with Jameson Tenorio and Smurf. Now Brisbane-based, international hoops sensation Celi Toledo drops in to spin. Rising hiphop star JID Durano's music video for his latest single "Issues" goes on a second local public release with a feature performance by the man himself.
Initially operating on Fridays and Saturdays between 4PM to 2AM, Sugbo Mercado would also be an alternative open-air events space catering to corporate or product launches and roadshows on top of regular in-house entertainment activities like food showdowns, bands, shows, and other promotions.
Sugbo Mercado is also sponsored by the easiest way to order online from over 500 restaurants, foodpanda. foodpanda officially launches at Sugbo Mercado later in the month with a lineup of their restaurant-partners present. Catch the foodpanda Panda mascot live as he brings fun, prizes and surprises!
For inquiries, contact 09173088876 or message them at facebook/sugbomercado.
See you all at Sugbo Mercado!

A little somethin'
Thursday, April 9
Hi mommsies !
How was your week so far? Mine has been a bit busy as I just got back from the office right after my appendectomy operation.
Anyways, I just wanted to share with you all just a little bit of an update.
Our company where I am currently working at had recently launched its new brand logo and had the corporate rebranding worldwide. I was glad that I was able to make it to work and proud to be a part of its momentous event. I definitely look forward for more achievements and milestones for our organization. If you are a working mom like me, it's really important that we are able to cope up and properly balance our time and efforts in particularly about everything.
So far, I can say that this has been my best days after the battles that I had just a fews back.
I felt that after overcoming my appendectomy ordeal, I felt even more stronger. I needed to do it.
That I wanted to be a stronger person for my son and my family and for my work.
It was hard for me at first. Feeling so sudden. Having to go through that was both self realizing and depressing. It is bitter - sweet.
All I can say is that, life is fragile.
That just one day I was all happy and having my zumba in the morning at home and then after a few, I'd be feeling that really strong pain in my abdomen and then eventually went to emergency operation.
It has been two weeks and the memory of my surgery is still so fresh in my head.
Just like the scars and the wound. They are healing now, but I still feel that slight pain.
I pray that all of us, go through life's challenges and that all of us will really stay healthy not just for ourselves but most of all for our loved ones.
Just as what Ina Raymundo posted via her IG account. She shows off her battle scars.
I have them too from my previous pregnancy and my CS operation scar.
Now my battle scars are here to stay and I will forever be reminded of how I went through.
We will WIN in this battle mommsies!
In life We need a little somethin':
May your week be blessed ahead!
