Girls Talk:Birthday Wish

My birthday was last May, I wished that something would be different this year. It came true. For the first time ever, we were able to go on a trip as a family. Though I am still dreaming of a bigger trip where we can finally all go together to the hometown of my hubby. He's from Tuguegarao and we have never gone there. They always visited us here in Pangasinan. That is my dream and that is my wish.

What about you? Care to share your birthday wish? Has it come true? If you want to meet new people and talk about birthday wish. Hey, you never know if the one reading your blog can make it come true. Join Girl's Talk by clicking the button above. 

GT: Me, Emotionally

It's been a while since I last joined Girls Talk. I guess I miss having girls talking to and with no LTINS to do yet. What better way to spend my Thursday here.

So let's talk emotions. From the basics that I am learning in my daughter's nursery class. Anger, Afraid, Surprised, Sad, and Happy. Well, it's been a tough road but I'm finally getting to be more happy, less sad, but a bit more angry (naughty, naughty kids.) It's such a different time when I was 18. Full of insecurities upon entering my relationship with hubby. You'd get furious and frustrated with me too while I was always insecure, sad and petty.

I have less insecurities or maybe my insecurities disappeared when I had my 2 kids. My perspective changed right then. I feel as if I'm in a healthier place right now, with more happiness. Do you see the commercial about the soup, where the mom asks, "How long will it take for you to make me happy?" and the kid happily replies," 1 second", then gives her mom a kiss. I feel that all the time when my kids hug and kiss me.

So, how are you? Emotionally, I mean. Wanna share? Join the conversation by clicking on the button above.

Girls Talk: Comfort Food

I'm so excited about the April theme for Girls Talk! Today we talk about Comfort Food.

I go through comfort food phases, it was different when I was in highschool, when I was in a dorm during college and definitely different now that I'm a Mom. I'm not a cook, only thing I can cook for certain is carbonara and that's about it. I've tried my hand in cooking other stuff though mostly soups. I like soups. Right now, my favorite soup and comfort food is....drumroll please.

Everytime I get this from that famous food place, you can bet that I buy 2 Large bowls because I often get attacked while eating by the two kiddos who enjoy it as much as I do. They just love saying...sssooooouuuupppp.

GT: First Boyfriend

Dear Girl Talkers,

I don't think talking about this, requires my bravery. I was very lucky in the aspect that the husband is the first boyfriend. He was the only one who asked. Wait, I think I did the asking. He was and still is.. my bestfriend at my stay in U.P. I love talking about how I first met him. I remember it clearly but not the date (signs of old age). It was the first few days of class at U.P., we were staying at the dorm, Kalayaan to be exact. I had made 3 new friends, future members of the Vampire Society. One of my friends, Irene was taking up Chemical Engineering. She is a great chess player and then one day, she told me about this conceited guy whom she had an argument with. His name is Peds. He is a B.S. Math student and they argued over a chess move and a chair. She was so enraged, and we all thought that the V.S. should teach this guy some manners. They introduced us but to my chagrin, he wasn't a conceited guy after all and it was just a simple misunderstanding. To our further surprise, he was my classmate in Natural Sciences, a class which made us all sleepy since it was an airconditioned auditorium held right after lunch. It was a shared class by many freshmen of different courses. The Math students had English as their next class and they usually were rushing assignments in Nat.Sci. We had a deal then, they would help us in our Math assignments and shared halves of assignments in Nat. Sci, We'd help in English since that was our stronger suit. Freshmens at work. I could go on and on but then that wouldn't be the scope of GT.
We became an us on May 20, 1998. It was a few days after I turned 18, and he was my escort. I brought him home, along with other college friends for my debut. It was an unplanned debut which we tried to make the most out of. He finally asked me to be his girlfriend. He is my first and last boyfriend. I was his second. Don't let me go into my insecurities with his first... please. He became my husband and finally, father to my children.
