WE ARE NOT HELPING OUR CHILDREN!

For crying out loud! I've had so much respect for the Surf commercial because it had quality. It gave us a glimpse of how some Filipino families with good values live in the Philippines. Take note of the word "some". I don't hold filipinos in high regard with regard to family lifestyle. Only a few of us would actually be honest with regard to how we're supposed to live... i mean with regard to our lifestyle and all.

Besides... they have an ongoing story. I mean i saw those children grow up for chrissakes and they're with us every freaking special ocassion! I mean the Christmas surf commercial is good and the pine smelling detergent! Come on! They're already part of our yearly local tv life. But come on, I think they should have done better with their latest commercial.

The song was good and the idea of greeting mom for mother's day is cool with me too. But please, please, please, please! People! "Ur D best 'nay!" is not a good example for our children who are watching TV when the damn commercial comes out! What are we teaching them? How to write in "phone text" format? Are we insane? Are we deliberately trying to make our children stupid? Sorry, are we deliberately trying to make all filipinos stupid? No wonder we're so behind other asian countries!

It's not right to do that. Trying to be "in" is out of the question when you're doing something wrong. So quit it! Text messaging is for texting only. People we need to re-educate ourselves with regard to making ourselves a "quality" people once again... not just be a bunch of half-baked wannabies.

I'm a Mommy!

Greetings to all! I am very happy. It's just now that i was able to go online as i've been customising myself to motherhood. I love being Cayleigh's mom. I love my baby... and i love my little family.

I'm very thankful to God for the strength and the joy he has given me. Cayleigh alone is already a big blessing, but what makes me feel overwhelmed and really blessed is the support everyone has given me. Thank you to my in-laws, my parents, our wonderful friends and my very, very, very loving husband. Truly, it's not not the monetary blessings that make you happy... it's everything that surrounds you that is alive and pulsing with energy and love.

Our baby is... i can't seem to find the right word... smart? Well at 2 days old, she's already turning her body to the position she likes to sleep in... she can also turn her head on her own. She's truly amazing... and just this morning... she grabbed her bottle... okay don't think super kid or someone so small holding her own bottle, but she did hold on to her nipple... Okay, all moms would say their child is amazing... but i definitely know mine is.

Ritchie and i love her very much. the nine months of carrying her is the easy time... raising her would be a wonderful thing to go through... and i'm sure that God will bless us every step of the way. It's up to us to grow with her... and not for just her to grow up.

I've got to go... i want to spend time with my husband and baby...

PS: Sorry for looking disheveled... but i just gave birth... hahahahahaha!

Relaxation...

Hurrahhhhh! I am now able to rest! Sure i've got 2 more scripts pending, but! But! Now, I am given more time. I can sit back, do some cross stitching, play my wild arms game or work on my character in our new rpg campaign. Thank you, Lord!

today, my hubby and i went to the doctor and found out that our baby is still not close to coming out. hehehehe... but i could already feel her impatience... and yes, we already have a name for our little angel... we'll talk about that later... my babu wants to post it when she's out.... ahhh... surprise, surprise.

I met with my new writer and gave her instructions on how to write the new animation i'm going to give her. then we went to the studio so she could meet the technicians and the voice talents and to watch one dubbing session. she also met my director... so she's arleady in. and i successfully passed my remaining project to her. i also saw that the other project that i was planning to give her would not be recorded yest, sooooo... i'm still safe and i could finish the last 2 episodes of my other project before my baby arrives.

okay. yes, i'm still working. it keeps my mind preoccupied but in a way, i don't like leaving people hanging. i just want to finish what i started. and this anime is only 50 episodes so, i can finish this one by next week. the one that i passed on will go on for another hundred episodes soooo... i decided to pass it.

as i said before i feel a little sadness with regard to losing one of my baby projects, but I think God is telling me... hey, let go and let Me [God]. during my 8th month of pregnancy i received calls from different companies asking me to give english/communication training... i wasn't thinking : awwww shucks... the money that i'll be missing... more like: awww that opportunity to work and learn and share new stuff again... it's the same with my projects.

but looking into it now, i realized what God was telling me. hey, we have so many opportunities. i can give you many other opportunities. it doesn't mean that if you're gone a few days, weeks or months that you're not going to get anything good anymore... Trust Me. and i remember that time that i left my first love of a job and went into the call center industry because i needed to put my sister to school... i felt horrible. i know i missed out on a lot of good projects and i really felt envious of my friends who continued what they loved to do...

i thought i won't get anymore opportunities like what i started a long time ago... but lo and behold, with only 2k in the bank and no where to go, i resigned from my regular... tenured job and went back to freelance voice acting.... and what do you know... honestly, God was faithful and he gave me work immediately.

i love my work... but i really think i need to pull back from it and look at other things. I've realized that i'm mostly work. i love my hubby, but it's my work that seems to be taking my number 2 spot and not my family.

and so... i think i'm being shown that i could have something better now... and i do feel more relaxed and free. i don't feel down. cast away these earthly bindings and you'll be free. now that's something really cool.
