Thoughts-overload



I feel like blah these days. Well I take it back, I feel good.A lot of good things have been happening in my life.I couldn't thank my Heavenly Father enough. Days in my home are pretty normal, it is just that I feel like the motivation to blog doesn't come as much as I wanted to. I know I have a lot of updates and catching up to do, but let's just say that life is busy,busy but good. I feel like I have come to aged after we moved out of Hawaii. We
looked for a place to live, we waited for Nate to get a full time job.And then we worried about the other details, moving... furniture..etc... And then there's bills that needs to be paid and all the other things in between.

Did I mention that I feel incredibly blessed? About a couple of weeks ago we got a call from the Apartment Manager,she asked if we are interested to apply as an Apartment Manager. We got our application done,submitted, had our interview the following day. A couple of days passed, and Thursday I got a call from the owner.We got the job. The last week I have been training, and starting to get the feel of the job. This is the perfect job for me,I knew it. This is the job that will be good since I don't have to work all day and have Darren be taken care of by somebody else. I have an office hours and anything after that, hopefully will be manageable. I knew this will be perfect for me. I just have to keep in mind that I should be able to multi
-task. I guess what I am saying is, I should be able to be the Mother that I wanted to be for my little guy, even if there is another job that I needed to do. This is a great blessing that came in our family. But I am now realizing that this is also a huge responsibility. I guess, I needed to be a superwoman to do all these things.But hey, other Mothers who has the same job are doing just fine, why can't I, right? I know I can do this.And I will do it.

Oh and we have to move again in a month. I have come to love this little apartment of ours. I fell in love with this place, the first time I saw it. I started to dream big,and somewhat imagine our future living in this house for a little while. I know that we won't be owning a house any time soon.And I am okay with it.There is a time for every purpose,that's what I always tell myself. And now is the time to dream, set goals, and work on it. And I think that's what we're doing. And so far we are doing pretty good at it. So about the move, we are going to move into a much smaller space but still 2 bedroom,within the area that we are going to be managing in, just across from our little apartment complex. I hate moving, and packing and unpacking but it will be good.At least, I know that it will be our last move this year.hah! And probably for a little while.



The picture of my hunky boy up top is from a while back.I just love this picture so much.He feels so relax watching Sprout, just taking it easy,and just happy. I hope he always feel that way,yah know content. I hope that he always see life in a good way. Or a least try to make the best out of it.That is a Mother's wish. I love summer.I am really starting to appreciate summer these days. Darren and I are just enjoying the sun playing at the playing ground and swimming at the pool to our hearts content.









I love this video,like a lot. I saw this from my friend's blog.And I know I just have to post it. I can relate to her in so many ways. I also wanna be like her.I want to be a Cultural Preserver. I have been trying my hardest to instill my language to Darren. I know I still am not very good in doing it.But I am really trying. I said before, I don't want him to get alienated to my culture. I want him to learned to know and love my heritage.I want him to be able to relate to my family back home, his grandparents, auntie and uncles. That is probably one of the most important thing that I could pass on to him, besides teaching him about the gospel and all the good things there in. I know it will be for his own good. It will open his eyes into a whole new different world.He will be able to understand and love a whole new different culture besides the one that he is accustomed to. I love studying culture.I love to be able to learn people,their background and to understand them.I think it is very important to be heard. And there is no worse or best.I think every culture is important and needs to be respected. It is a part of us.What we believe in,what we do is what makes us,it the culture that is instill deep into our bones. And so when I try to imagine the future.I smile and I laugh whenever I imagine my son doing what I taught him.The good traditions and principles that I learned from my Mother.

I am a Mother and everyday I try do the best I can to be good at it. Most days are pretty much like a routine.And some days are not great especially when I am on the PMS mode.Oh how I hate it. But at the end of the day, I know there is another day head.Another day that I have to look forward to. And let me tell you, I get pretty excited sometimes. It is wonderful to be a mother.There is always hope,because there is your children.And when you see them all you see is HOPE and happiness, beyond compare. At least that's how it is for me. I get excited to go into my son's room in the morning when he wakes up.I know there is another cuddles, a lot more laughter, and whole lotta of adventure ahead.

So I guess I better end this post. My thoughts are rambling. I have to take care of my little monkey that just woke up from his nap.

HAPPY WEEKEND!
