Proud To Be A Mother

As the mother, my girls naturally follow my lead. . I just hope I'm leading them to the right path. I'm actually unorthodox in some ways. I guess each mother has her own unique ways of rearing her child/ren.

Yesterday, I chanced upon a t.v. show where a mother was crying while making a "panawagan" to her mother who left her since childhood. She thought, growing -up without a mother by her side made her own motherhood so confusing. She said she has difficulties showing love and affection to her own children cos she hasn't experienced a bit of it.

She might be right. . I grew- up with a loving mother, showered me with so much affection which brought me where and how I am today as a mother to my own two teens.




Yet_ I'm no perfect. No mother is. I constantly undergo hits and misses. Oftenly, with the latter. I'm just so lucky I have a partner who balances my motherhood acts. Husband was raised by another wonderful mother_ my mother-in-law.
The world is lucky to have great mothers around.
To all mothers_ we are all awesome, today is ours. .before others do, give yourselves a pat in the back. .we all deserve it.
Happy Mother's Day !!!!

Rural Easter

Found a baby on a  rock. She was with her family having an Easter picnic in this noncommercial  falls. No rental huts or cottages.





Spent this special day trekking around my scenic hometown in Quezon province. One of my favorite finds is this falls which is randomly called "Busay Falls". Brother reminded me not to commit mistake asking locals the location of this and refer to it as simply busay falls. Because this is not the one and only falls in town being called as such. Almost every barangay/barrio has its own busay falls. One has to mention the specific name of the barangay. When I get home, I promise to show you around this nature gifted side of my hometown.

Ofcourse before that, first _we'll jump-back to (click this->  Biernes Santo.
See you.

Happy Easter everyone !!!!!!!!!!
