Even if they are being so demanding most of the time, and if they do not quite understand what I'm saying or what I want to happen, I would still want them to stay little for a long time. I kind of dread the time they become older than 6 years old. I feel like I have so little time to mold them and lead them to Jesus before they go out to the world, or to school. There are so many things I want to do with them while they're little. Can I enjoy them as cute, chubby cherubs for a longer … [Read more...]
Cupcake Dilemma, Cymplified!
It is always such a treat to receive something sweet. Being a food photographer has its perks, too bad he cannot enjoy it because he doesn't care for cakes and chocolates. And that made his wife giddy! :-P These cupcakes were the inspiration for my fun poem called My Pretty Cupcake. I was pondering on how to eat a cupcake without getting my lips and hands super sticky. What a weird problem to have, right? Do other people have a cupcake dilemma like this? Apparently, this has crossed … [Read more...]
Banish Boredom, Cymplified!
I think that more than hate, one thing that would be detrimental to a relationship or end it altogether, is apathy. Apathy happens when a husband stops showing his wife his appreciation through words and actions and vice versa. Apathy happens when a stay-at-home-mom gets tired of the doing the same things every single day for her family. Apathy happens when a child doesn't want to talk with his parents for fear of being scolded. Apathy happens when boredom settles in. I am currently reading … [Read more...]
Creative Soul, Cymplified!
I could relate with @iamaimeediego when she said in one of her posts that she had a creative itch but didn't know how to express it. I feel like I am stuck in a creative funk lately, but I am not currently working on anything. I feel like I should be creating something: poems? painting? crafts? I used to think that I have a creative soul, although I am all thumbs with crafts and gift-wrapping But seeing other people create something beautiful, something people like instantly, well, it just … [Read more...]
In Her Shoes, Cymplified!
The result of being compared with other people who were seemingly more beautiful, more talented and smarter was a girl who is insecure, who isn't sure of what she really wanted and who is striving to be someone else. Her decisions were made for her. She was living a meaningless and purposeless life. She was willing to settle for mediocrity. There was a span of time when she was following one of her schoolmates from high school on Facebook. She would read about a fairytale wedding, the expensive … [Read more...]
Craving For Reconnection, Cymplified!
There are some days I would suddenly miss hanging out with my girl friends or my girl cousins. I would also wonder what it would be like if I had a sister. Maybe I would have an instant friend to bond over coffee with. It's true that humans, maybe mostly women, have this strong innate feeling to connect with another human, most likely of the same gender. It's really hard to explain, but although as much as I love talking with my children, I would miss having an adult conversation. Whenever I am … [Read more...]
Siblings Are For Loving, Cymplified!
They continue to boggle my mind, these children of mine. One moment they are laughing, the next they are crying. One moment they like the toy, the next they are hurling it across the room. One moment they are ready to nap, the next they would be wide awake. I sure love the moments when... Achi would build a toy for her shobe. Shoti would hug achi for no reason at all. Ahya would gently pat his shobe's head. Achi would give her shoti and her shobe each a smooch.* All three of … [Read more...]
