Christmas 2013

This Christmas is indeed a very special one... it is the first Christmas of my dearest little Enrique Miguel!

Although it's a bit sad that my bunny isn't home for the holidays, I still felt blesses because I have two beautiful children by my side.

This year was full of challenges, but at the end of the day, what matters most is that I have my husband, my kids, my family, my friends, and all other things I have. I am truly blessed. :)

2014: Year of the Horse

No comments    
categories: ,
I was born under the year of the Horse, according to Chinese Astrology. This coming 2014, it is the year of the Horse, although I know from past readings, Horses aren't that lucky when it is the year of the Horse (ironic).

And it seems it is the case for 2014... Here's my Chinese Fortune for 2014...

According to Chinese Fortune Calendar:

That is a sign of jinx in Chinese horoscope when a Horse meets another Horse from the yearly cycle. That tells us that the year of Horse won't be a good year for Horse people. The scene is that if a Horse is passing by a town with a local Horse tyrant in charge. If Horse people can keep quiet, then they will be safe and pass the town. If Horse people want to mess with or challenge the tyrant, then trouble will come to them during their journey.

That means Horse people will travel under somebody's territory. Horse people needs to play in low-profile during 2014. Their people friendship, love relationship, money management or job competition might encounter a certain limitation during the Horse year.

Career: There is a Military General Star coming toward Horse people in 2014. That's is a sign of power and leadership. When Horse meets Horse, that implies the competition. Since Horse people enter enemy's territory, the competition is underdog to Horse people. In order to gain the leadership, Horse people will face many challenges. Therefore, you will spend lots of time with your friends, supporters or competitors to solve issues regarding to the business. If you failed to handle that properly, you will lose your reputation, even power. As a result, you might blame on yourself. You have better be humble and patient first. To take action, you must waiting for good timing. Anyway, to build good people relationship will give your career development much easier.

Horse can run very fast and far away. However, without a guide on its back, Horse doesn't know where it should go. Therefore, to listen people's opinion is very important for Horse people in 2014.

Money: Horse people will deal a lots with money in 2014. You will involve or be in charge of money management, because of the Military General Star. People around you are watching the money in your hands. They will be trying anything they can to utilize your money resources you have. They will ask your out often. therefore, your social activities and social expenses will increase. To loan money to your friends is not a good idea in the Horse year. That might become a dispute in the agreement later on. Then you may lose the friendship. 2014 is also not a good year to invest money on uncertain business. Watch your money tightly, especially in the summer. Your money luck will be better when the weather is cooling down.

Love: The love relationship of Horse people is fair today. There is a Popularity Star appearing in 2014. That will help single Horse people to meet a opposite sex. However, you still have the competition out there and the development of relationship will be slow. If you are in school, then you should focus more on the study. Spending too much time on the new relationship won't give you better or faster result. If you are in love and you want to push closer relationship on your lover, then you might hurt yourself in the end. If you are married, you might have little quarrel. {Woohoooo!} So to put your focus on the career development or financial management is a better approach.

Health: Horse people should have stronger body and mind than the previous year. If they have slight illness, they should be able to recover quickly, as long as they have enough sleeping and rest. But Horse people in the Horse year usually don't have a long-lasting good mood, which could impact their health. So don't forget to do the annual physical examination. One Hurting Star arrives to Horse people in 2014. So they have better drive very carefully on the road and try to avoid dangerous sports.

2014 is a Wooden Horse year. Horse is Fire and Wood helps Fire to burn longer. There are too much Fire coming toward Horse people in 2014. It's quite possible that Horse people have too much Fire or too less Water in 2014. Too much Fire will cause problem in the cardiovascular system. Too less Water will cause problem in the urinary system.

From
GoToHoroscope.com

In 2014, all doors will be open for those born under the sign of Horses – as it is their time that has come! You will want everything and at the same time: personal happiness, career, pleasurable time spending. Do not worry in regards of the support of the celestial bodies, because the planet-protectors provide you with a reserve of energy that is enough to boil Baikal. Despite the abundance of opportunities, the horoscope advises people not to rush into each fleeting mirage on the horizon, and choose achievable goals and move towards them, turning aside from the path. Remember that in pursuit of success, it is easy to stumble and break a leg in both a literal and figurative senses. Be careful when doing extreme sports, and learn to slow down when you think a business venture is heading into the abyss. The universe does not promise Horses smooth roads and green lights the entire way. Be prepared for the fact that you have to overcome obstacles and ride through potholes, but the result is worth it. If you make the right decision and get to the finish line, you get a prize and a cup, a cash reward and admiration of the people around you.

The love relationships will depend entirely on you in the Year of the Green Horse, 2013. People, who believe in happy endings and struggle to find their Cinderella, will be sure to find her. It is just that the ending is different for each fairy tale – either you appreciate and love the chosen one, letting her feel like a queen, or lock the girl at home in the company of mops, floor cloths and pans. If you just want order in the house and hot meatballs for dinner, then consider hiring a maid, as even a fabulous Cinderella ran way from this life into the world. The favourite move of the Horse is jealousy, so married couples will inevitably fact showdown on the subject of side looks, short skirts, and cute assistants. Try not to drain your loved one with negative emotions like with mud, because unjust accusations bully and abuse your partner. Remember that cheating is possible even with a long dress, and with a terribly looking colleague (if you turn off the light and imagine Monica Bellucci).Even if you will be left as the only couple in the world, there will still be a snake that will spoil the perfection. Control your emotions and do not allow them to block your mind, because we cannot live in isolation from the outside world, one full of potential rivals and opponents.

In 2014, the family Horses will be overwhelmed by the desire to run ahead of the race, single-handedly determining the direction and the speed of movement. Even young foals will periodically buck against parental dictators defending their independence. One beneficial fact is that the people of this sign will fearlessly assume responsibility for the financial support of the family, so accusing them of neglecting their duties will be impossible. However, the horoscope advises to remember that your opinion may also prove faulty, so listen to advice of your close ones, so you will not lead your family into a swamp. The face that you are the leader of the herd does not make your household members into docile slaves, who will obediently follow the leader into a bright future, or even to the knacker’s yard. We are all real people with dreams, desires, and egos that need to be respected and taken into account.

This year, a Horse, hastily running through life, needs to stop, take a breath, and soberly assess its goals and achievements. Perhaps you are flying after a mirage, which moves away further with each one of your steps. Alternatively, you are running on full strength on a narrow path, which does not allow you to turn at full capacity and to develop the necessary full speed. Determine which direction is the most promising and adjust the original route. Perhaps, the Horse will decide to into a multidisciplinary field, or take a lucrative offer from a competing firm. Take those steps in 2014, it is right now that you are on a horse and can dictate your conditions to the employer. Of course when choosing a new place, accurately assess your strengths and abilities. If you do not have appropriate training and experience in the field of interest, then it is useless to overwhelm your resume and break through to the interviews with HR managers. Economists will not take a swan dance number at the theatre, and fashion designers will not go into assessing the solvency of customers in the bank.

Horses that have long dreamed of losing office oppressions, have to open their own business, gradually increasing the pace and momentum. At the initial stage, large capital investments will be needed, so make sure that at the right moment you find the savings allowing you to realize your dream. The horoscope advises entrepreneurs to manage using their own means, without getting into debt to either other people or the banks. Horses that are happy with the current place of work will get to move up the career ladder, which will of course reflect on their financial situation. The main thing to always remember is that to get the ripe apple you need to reach, and if the fruit falls into the mouth itself, then it is surely grubby and overripe. Diligent work and enthusiasm will help horses reach their goals, no matter how distant they may seem. In 2014, proper alertness and caution can help you make a fortune and wring hostile thoughts from the heads of your competitors! 

Radiant Orchid

Pantone's 2014 Color of the year is called "Radiant Orchid" and I must say that I am hmmmmkay with it. I'm still very partial to this year's Emerald, it being my favourite colour (not to mention birthstone and all). But still, I think the colour is kinda cool. I should think that, because right now my walls are a pale version of Radiant orchid, and my sheets are a darker version of it. They say that this colour calms the nerves, so I used the pale colour on my walls. :)

5 Nights To Go!

No comments    
categories: , ,


I'm half excited, half scared, but wow, only 5 nights to go, then I see my little baby boy! I always imagine him in my arms, cuddling him, caring for him, breastfeeding him. I dreamt of him a couple of times already!

I am very excited that it feels as if I'm going to be a new Mom all over again. I'm scared though because of the fear of post-partum blues, but mostly because of the fear of undergoing a CS operation. I truly wish my husband is here to be with me, but I guess a girl cannot have everything.

Anyways, at least I'm glad that my little darling girl is very excited too in meeting his baby brother "Miguel."

Sleepless nights, tired body, mix of emotions, crying spells... Yeah, it is very likely that these will happen when I give birth. But hey, having another angel truly makes my life richer, happier, and more meaningful. :)

Linkin Park Live in Manila 2013

My brother and I went on a "fan date" and attended the much awaited return of Linkin Park live in Manila, and what can I say? It truly was the best night of my life.

Not only was I blessed to have the opportunity to watch them live, I was also blessed with the fact that by being an LPU member, I was chosen as one of the members to meet them before the concert! LPU HQ was even kind enough to accommodate my request that since I am almost 7 months pregnant, if I could have my brother accompany me. Such very nice people, indeed!

Without further ado, the highlight of my night... meeting my "parallel universe" (yes that's my code) Mike Shinoda....


I was really speechless and shy but thank goodness my brother was able to take this shot. Mike Shinoda looked exactly how I imagined him to be (with years and years of imagining, I should get it right right? hahahaha).

Anyways, I had all band members sign my personal journal:


And here's the collage made by my bro in his IG:

I would love to have relived these moments, especially when I met MS. Goodness. And the concert. THE CONCERT! Really really happy that I witnessed them singing their hearts out live.

Yes, It's Been This Long

No comments    
categories: ,
Yup it's been a long time since I last posted here in my blog. Been caught up with so many things like work, pregnancy, finances, and of course, my ever charming dalagita. Been too lazy and forgot about blogging that I lost my renewal of my blog domain "mylavenderfields" which until now I regret.

Anyway, what's u is that I've finally seen a glimpse of my little one, and the baby is a boy! I'm due on the 28th of October, and honestly, the feeling is a mixture of excitement and fear. Excited because hey, I'm going to have a baby and my family is growing! A baby is always a blessing! Fear because, well, life is hard now, plus another aspect is that I will undergo a CS operation. Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to seeing my new baby.

Work-wise, it's still hectic as ever, with new challenges everyday. Let's not go into that, haha.

What I am currently focused on is my finances (obvious ba). Too fixated with stocks, investing, mutual funds, and growing our nest egg. I have a renewed interest in interior design so I guess this is the start of my "nesting," hahaha.

Other than that, my life is the same old one, filled with love, laughter, and blessings. :)

PS: I do hope I get my blogging mojo back. I miss blogging, seriously.

Second Baby Fears

Don't get me wring, I am very excited to be blessed with another baby, and I look forward to seeing my little one in 9 months' time. In fact, I think I might be too excited because right now I am thinking of printing postcards online to inform my relatives about the good news! :)

However, there are a couple of fears that are harboured in my mind right now. I don't know, maybe it's just the hormones and the mood swings, but let me just get everything out.

First, the pregnancy itself. It's been what, 5 years ago since I last got pregnant, and somehow everything is new. I'm not used to being sluggish, I'm not used to getting tired most of the time. My fear all the more grew when I learned that I am in a sensitive condition right now and prone to miscarriage. as I was crying in front of my doctor, she assured me that it's not about me. But why? Why the condition? I was advised to have complete bed rest for at least 2 weeks to make sure that I don't aggravate things. Yet, as I lay down the bed, lots of things go to my mind (hence this blog entry). What did I do? Was it the rebonding? Was it the non-stop nail polish usage? Was it the Jack Daniels that i drank the night before I learned that I was pregnant? Was the doctor just being polite, but in fact, all the things I did led to this condition? If I continue on babbling then I might go crazy and accuse myself of murder.

Yeah, drama queen at its highest form.

I do hope though that my baby will be fine, that my baby will be healthy and in very good condition.

Next fear, the fear of having 2 kids. It just dawned on me that we may not be as financially capable as I thought we are. Suddenly I am worried if we have the means to raise two kids. Thoughts like the condo being too small and I highly doubt we'd get a bigger place (unless we live in a further area). Where will the new kid stay? What if the baby was a boy, would it be ok to have a girl and a boy kid in one room? Education... will we earn enough to give them the best education? The selfish me asked... will I ever go to France, since the money for that is better off to be used for the kids?

Just typing these words scares that s**t out of me. I could feel my heart pounding and my abdomen aching. Which means, I should stop because worrying is not helping.

I guess I just have to face reality (again) and deal with the fact that I will have 2 kids now and all my selfish agendas need to be shelved.

I just pray that I will be given more strength, to hold on to my faith that life has meaning and that everything happens for a reason. That God has wonderful plans for our family.

i need to believe in that.

I just don't understand why you hate me so much. I see it in your eyes. I hear it in your voice. I feel it in your (non) touch.

My only plea is if we can't handle the heat, let's finally get out of the kitchen.

Happy Happy New Year!

I am so looking forward to 2013!

First, I have a new job. Well, actually, a new old one. See, I've been in this role before, and after three years of swearing off of it, fate moved last December (a little too fast actually, hahaha), and so here I am. Nope, I didn't transfer to a new company... just a different business unit. :) But I think, feel, and believe that things will turn out great this year. I'm soooo positive about it. In all aspects, that is: love and marriage, career, and personally.

Second, my baby girl is going to be Grade 1 this June. Imagine, she will be in Elementary. Gosh, next thing I know, she's a teener. Argh. But I'm super proud of my daughter. Very smart, very loving, very charming, very naughty. Hahaha.

Third, I look forward to an even deeper and loving relationship with my husband. I think that we are on the right track, haha. Yes, there were many challenges and I'm sure there will be lots more in the years to come. But, I don't know, it seems that we are closer than ever.

Last (or maybe not last, because I feel that lots of blessings will come our family's way!), I'm so looking forward to the further advancement of my husband's career. I look forward to the day when I officially call him... "Oh Captain, My Captain!"

No resolutions this year, I will take things by the day, and be thankful for all the blessings (whether big or small, they are all blessings!) that will come.

Here's to love, happiness, good health, and prosperity!

There is a Time for Things to Happen

No comments

I always kept on saying that there is a reason for everything, that things happen for a reason, and that there is always that right time for things to happen. Yet, there are times when I doubt these words, doubt too much that I couldn't even express them in this site.

A few months ago I doubted about why changes had to happen in my life. That was the time when I felt very depressed... too depressed that I had a breakdown which even got my parents so worried.

I wanted to let go and quit. However, circumstances sent me on daily detours. I was oh so ready, but quitting did not happen. Slowly whatever hurt I felt began to heal and relationships became better.

Then a big break came. It was so sudden that I'm still actually catching up with the tide. Yet, it all made sense. Before the big break, I wondered what was the main reason why I wasn't able to let go as planned.

Maybe letting go and quitting back then wasn't the right time, because a few things had to be settled. And the time between the big heartbreak and the big break was a necessary period for me to mend myself, hear words that I ought to hear, heal relationships and make them stronger. It was indeed necessary.

And I'm very happy, in a sense at peace, that before I go to the next chapter of my life, everything fell into place as it should be.

Am I Aging Too Soon?

No comments    
categories: , ,
Warning: vanity entry!

Because my office mates wanted to see the dress I will be wearing for our Christmas party, I tried to search in my photo archives for a picture of me wearing that dress. Sooner I got all depressed and discouraged. I noticed that even after giving birth before, I still looked the same up until 1 year ago. Then all of a sudden I looked vet different. Not only did I gain 20 pounds but it seems that my face changed too. Is this a sign of aging? Goodness I am not young anymore but I'm not that old either!

I just joked that this was what our company did to me, because the change was evident a few months after I started working again. But seriously, it got me worried. I know that if a woman wants to see how she would look like in her older years, she just needs to look at get mother. Well my mother is aging gracefully, so I should be confident, right? But them again, when I think about how she looked the same age as I am now, I think I am falling behind or missing that age-gracefully factor!

Sometimes I even feel like I look older than my mother and that she is far healthier than I am now. I try to eat modestly and all but it seems that dieting doesn't do wonders for me. Yes, I know I need to exercise, but heck, I see others too who are seriously exercising and going to the gym but they are still bulky.

I know I should do something and that I shouldn't resign and nor embrace the fact that this is the "me" now, but I can't help but be depressed about it.

*sigh*

I know I should just chill and stay healthy as much as I can, and be thankful that I don't have any illnesses. I just wish that I still look a little closer to how I was two years ago. Is that too much to ask?

Unfocused

Warning: this is depression talking.

Blame it on asthma, but I'm quite feeling down these past few days. Thoughts of discontent, failure, and hopelessness entered my mind during the weekend. I know it's not a healthy thing especially since weekends are supposed to be a time of joy, love, living, and relaxing.

First, discontent. I love my home. I try so hard to make it as home-y and as beautiful as possible, so that my husband will always cherish and long for our home whenever he's away. Also, I want that all my guests would feel at home when they're around. However, seeing beautiful homes like my Uncle's always makes me think why I do not have the home-n-garden wish I've always wanted. They say, go buy a lot. It's cheap here. I know it is, but I'm not sure if we'd have enough funds to buy the land plus build a house. Enter the feelings of hopelessness and failure. Hopelessness, because maybe that dream will just always be that, just a dream. Failure, because I failed to plan ahead and stop giving in to my wants in order to move towards that goal. I know I should not regret on decisions I took before, but sometimes, like now, I am tempted to regret.

Next, failure. A lot of things here. Failure at work? Maybe, because what happened was not what I expected or planned to be. I know, I know, the saying "God has plans for you while you make plans for yourself" or something like that. But, I couldn't help but wonder why things have to be this way, what did I actually learn from the changes to make me a better person or make me be better in what I do? I'm already at the stage of acceptance but when certain complications, no matter how small come along the way, it gets me back to square one, and then i feel trapped. There's so much to say about work but I'm just trying to be positive. I've heard one say before, those who don't see that positive are losers, but of course, I disagree with that (among other things that person said). It's just that it is a struggle, and I think I'm just being honest with myself when I say it is sometimes a challenge to see things positively especially if something negative happened. Does that make me a loser?

Failure at home? I'm still struggling to be better at being a home maker (even while working) and there too are times when I feel (or other people make me feel) that I am a failure on this aspect. I'm not good enough as a Mom, I'm just being lazy, etc etc. Sorry if how I was raised was different from how others were raised, but I don't think both views are not correct. They're just different, and I think both styles/views must be respected. Yet, even with this belief, there really are days when I feel like a total failure as a person. :( I know I'm not perfect, but I think in some ways I have a "somewhat" pure heart with a desire to do good and have compassion for others.

Last, hopelessness. I feel that there is so much that I can contribute but I'm not in the right setting. It makes me think if I would have been happier if I did push through in being a missionary and teach/preach. Maybe I'd have more happiness there? I don't know, but I feel a bit hopeless and uncertain that I will be truly happy. It's like I have this calling, but i don't know what to do and I feel trapped.

All these actually paralyze me and make me unable to move and breathe right. Maybe this whole depression thing is what triggers my asthma. It nows goes full circle. I blame it on asthma that I'm depressed and typing away, but my conclusion too is that my depression causes my asthma. *Sigh* Sometimes I just wish my asthma will just take me away. :(

It is true, what I sometimes say, that beneath this happy-go-lucky, always bubbly, artsy-emo person is a lonely soul. Maybe all my fashion-y beauty stuff are just temporary fixes to help me deal. *Sigh*

To whoever reads my blog, please do pray for my sanity. Thanks.

I got this from A Circle of Witches FB Page. I'm Taurean, and I think this fits me to a tee.

*************
Astrological Zodiac Colors and Correspondences

Aries (March 21 April 20) Ruling planet - Mars. Dark Red, usually the darker shades of scarlet or crimson. Magically the planet Mars is the purifier and destroyer who sweeps aside the stagnant, the unwanted and the redundant so progress can be made. Alternatively, the planet of war also represents the creative principle and the unconscious urge for the human species to reproduce itself, for life and death are two aspects of the same energy.

Taurus (April 21-May 21) Ruling planet - Venus. Green, ranging from the palest apple green to the dark olive of the earth forces. In magical lore the Venusians energy represents the spiritual desire to unite the opposites and balance the dual forces of male and female. This union was known to the medieval alchemists as "the sacred marriage" and is symbolized in magic and Wicca by the ritual metaphor of the sword in the chalice.

Gemini (May 22 June 21) Ruling planet - Mercury Yellow is the color of this Zodiac sign representing communication and the power of the mind.

Blogging as Income Generating

No comments    
categories: 
I've read a couple of blogs lately, each of the bloggers wanting to monetize their blogs or be a major source of income for them. When I was a housewife I tried to find ways on how to earn from blogging, but eventually my interest died down because of the amount of work that needs to be done in order to do so. Aside from these, statistics needs to be looked into. Good thing there are a couple of services out there such as report engine services and site stats to help out bloggers. But again, I just wanted blogging to be fun for me, not as a chore that needs to be maintained because of its earning capability. Sure, having extra funds is good, but I guess blogging for income is probably not in my priority list, for now at least. This is not to say that I will not go down this road in the future. Right now, though, as it has always been, I'm just blogging for me. AS a journal, as a haven, as my own lavender fields, away from the turmoils of life.
