Happy Awesome Christmas!

It's been our tradition to visit at least one place every year in Christmas Season. Last year, we visited Christmas House in Cainta. Kids were so amazed at what they saw. Their faces were priceless. For me, nothing is more important than to see my kids really happy and that makes me really happy as well. So I really make sure to have time to go out and visit amazing places

Despite our busy schedule, no Yaya around to help me out with my chores (I wasn't complaining by the way. Please don't get me wrong.) We were still able to visit Liwanag Park in Ortigas. Details will be down below at the end of the post. 

It is a huge park. It was our first time to visit there. When we arrived, you can see how happy my daughter was. She keeps on jumping and her face was all smile. So glad I brought them at the Liwanag Park. My son has the same feeling.

Lately, I've been totally stressed out of everything. For being a Mommy. A very kind and diligent wife (wow! diligent? lols.). For being industrious in the house. Then suddenly, I felt a little sadness in my heart that there was something missing.

I am missing out the FUN. I totally forgot on how to live. Why am I not living my life in a right way? Why do I feel like a prison in my own family? I feel like there is something wrong. How can I ever raise my kids right if their Mommy wasn't happy at all?

Just then, I started to reflect myself. How can I ever start living a happy life again? I am married for 5 years now. Never did this popped into my mind just until now that we are living in a separate house with my own family.

Choosing to be happy wasn't selfish at all. I learned that throughout my married life. At first, I thought if I concentrate on my kids, their needs, and everything, that's enough for my living. But I was wrong. I am having a mood swings these past few days. Just when I thought that I wasn't happy at all. I feel that there is something locked up in my throat. How can I ever survive this? Just so when I realize that I need to give some time to myself. My own happiness. I need to organize my schedule a little bit more and spend more time to myself. Ika nga ~ "Don't rely on someone else for your happiness. Only you can be responsible for it. You have to invest in yourself or no one else will." ~ unknown.

So when I got an invite from my cousin who is a Professional Makeup Artist, I don't hesitate to say YES on joining the workshop. I so tag along my sister as well who is a lot more kikay than I am :) 

I'm a bit shy though because I'm a newbie! But anyway, push lang ng push :)

It's that time of year again. A Season of giving. I love giving gifts during Christmas season because it shows how much I appreciate and care about my loved ones. No matter how big or small it would be. For me, I don't just give gifts. I make sure that what I give is something that makes them really appreciate more and will always be remembered.

I was lucky to be invited in a Mommy Bloggers Gift Swap #MBPGiftSwap were in the theme of the gifts should reflect me and to my blog and which I think should be enjoyed by my MBPGiftSwap Partner. I was kinda thrilled that time when I heard about it and thought of any idea what kind of gift should I give to my partner.

A little reflection to myself.

I love crafts. I love DIYs. And when I thought about that, what popped into my mind was the shop Papemelroti.
