and We call her MAMA ♥♥♥

What can you say about your MOM?
We have different experiences as a child,
We have different experiences with our parents, with our mom.
Some are good and some are not,
But let me tell you mine...

I remember how scary she is that time
As I grow up, for me, she becomes my worst enemy,
for scolding me with all the bad things I've done (although I am not aware)
I hated her so much for being too strict
I hated her so much for so many things
I taught that time, she's not a perfect MOM
I wish I have someone else.

But as I grow older, I realized
She carries me for 9 months in her womb
Nurture, feed and protects me inside her warm body
She felt all the pain giving birth to a big girl like me
She took care of me, dress me up, give the best she can give
Supports me with my best and being so proud of me
I remember her fighting with a man to protect and defend me.
I am not aware, what she all did for me..
Just for me / us to have nice chlothes and things that I didn't appreciate much
Just for me / us to study in a good schools / universities
Just for me / us not to look pity with other kids.

Then I became a mother, I felt the hardship of carrying a child and bringing them to this world.
I felt the joy the first time I touched them
I felt the worries when they are sick
I felt the pain when I can't provide them the good life they should have
I felt everything... NO, not yet everything, I am just beginning

More than 30 years of my existence,
hence, whenever I feel bad and depress
Only she can calm me down,
talking to her alone, not even discussing the "problem"
it will make me feel lighter, easier, relieved.

No age limit for us to be in need of our mom
as long as we live, as long as we still exist
we will always be longing for her love.
Cherish every moment, say I love you as much as you can
make her feel the love and respect we have for her
this gesture and love for our family will pass to our children
And to their children, and to their children...

If I will be given a chance to be born again,
I will and definitely still choose her
For me, she is and will always be my Perfect Mama.

SUROT IN DUBAI (BEDBUGS) - MY WORST NIGHTMARE!!!

Image
When you happen to see these tiny creatures, what will be your reaction? "EEEEEWWWW!!!" Right? But seriously, BED BUGS  will be one of the most common thing here in U.A.E.  In my 30+ years of existence here on earth, never I saw or encounter bed bugs in my home country, maybe we have there but not same like this and honestly haven't seen one.   When I arrived here and stayed with my friend looking for a job, we stayed in a 3 bedroom flat somewhere in Bur Dubai with only Filipino men and women, at night I will be awaken with something that's crawling in my neck, my arms or my legs, at first I taught it was just a normal cockroach or I am just dreaming and I usually ignores it.  Maybe I am too much occupied thinking that time what will be my life here in Dubai or maybe because I am too much tired for the all-day-searching job and walking.   Until one day, my friend asked me "have you seen bedbugs already?" and then he explained to me this and that...

LIVING IN DUBAI

Image
As I mentioned on my previous blog, the most expensive thing here in Dubai is your house rent, for bed space only (bunk bed) the average payment is AED500.00 or PHP6,000.00 as of our rate today in the Philippines, sometimes including DEWA (Dubai Electricity and Water Authority), sometimes NOT, so all the people in that flat will share the cost.  Usually Flat tenants here accept more bed-spacers than required, some to get additional income, others just to have someone to share for the high cost.  If you want to feel more comfortable and have privacy, then pay more.  Most Filipinos prefer for the cheaper one, and some doesn't have a choice because you also need to budget your salary every month, and average starting salary here is AED2,000.00 - AED2,500.00 depending what position/company you are in, and it will increase as you are getting more experience here. BUNK BED (DOUBLE DECK) as shown above pictures are the common space you can own here. W...

I'm In-Love.... with my iPhone5s

I am not that techie type of person, But honestly I love gadgets. Before, I am always updated with all the latest mobiles coming out from the market (updated in a sense that I am doing research about their features, their looks and so on) colleagues will usually ask me how or what's better before they decide to buy their own, and somehow I used to have my "expensive one".  Until that became less priority, when you started your family and the budget is so tight. :b When I was still staying and working in the Philippines, I am contented with my old model of "Blackberry", the important thing for me there are, at least you can send SMS, phone calls, and some IM.  Frankly, I still have that "fondness" when I see new devices in TV commercials and malls, but (sigh) I just ignored that. :)  When I arrived here in U.A.E., the only gadget that I have with me are my blackberry and an Apple iPod touch.  For a year that I am using that, even most of ...
