Happily Broken

A family is a basic unit in a community. It consists of the father, mother and the kids. It has a very important role in a country. The family members especially the kids learn basic knowledge of life, earn his first and basic education, and knowledge of our Almighty Father.

When is the family suit to be complete? It is when the love, trust, respect, and loyalty binds them. And having one main goal to meet, which is to live a good life out of what they have, and to nurture their personal growth (career, love life, religious life). All the members must be cooperative, loving, and helping one another to fulfill the family’s basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter. If all of these factors are present, a family can live happily and contented.

I, myself, have a family. But it is a happily-broken-one. I can say we are happy because I have my loving and thoughtful mother, my supportive stepfather, my two tough and dependable sisters, and my loveable brother, the youngest. I grew up having my Mom solely striving to give us a decent life. My grandfather I call Tatay supported us all the way. He provided what my mother cannot give and cannot do for us, being a father. I never looked for my real father until one day that I found in my heart that I have to meet him in person. I knew him as a person through the stories and memories of him only shared by my sisters and mother. I never accused any of my parents the way our family life had been. I’ve been very thankful that I grew up to be a tough and a strong person. I also did enjoy my childhood, and lived a normal life.

In my case, my biological father wasn’t much of a need. All the other members filled the emptiness of that part our lives. And if I am to compare my life with others who has a complete (in the real sense) family but has a father who beats them, I would never trade places with them. I think it would be better to end up the relationship f the parents if they can’t live peacefully together one roof. Because it will deeply affects the children, and will contribute much to their formative years. Children must grow in a loving and peaceful “home” that they can turn to and hide during their hurtful experiences in school, in a barkada group as a kid and to share with when they’re happy, when they’re up to something new.

Now who would like to be complete family with no peace at all, or in a harmoniously loving happily broken family? I can sense that your guess is as good as mine.

=**** toys for kids****=

Te Dhel, Phart Pau, Princess Bele and I went to SM yesterday after office hours. We went home early due to some office issues. So we took advantage of the extra time and shopped for Olin Rei's (my cutie little brat inaanak) birthday present. It took me soooooo looooooong before I could find something educational and enjoyable enough for a kid to appreciate and play with it. I could memorized catergorization of toy diplays in every corner, every racks. I couldn't think of something coz I settled my mind into giving her a Dora drum set, but considered it a little costly. So I ended up buying a huggable toy that lights up when you push the hidden button in the belly of the toy-baby. I just wish my inaanak would love it, as Pau assured me she definitely would.

If I were the kid I would love to receive gifts with brands such as Chicco, Fisher Price, Tomy and of course Mickey Mouse toys and the like.

2nd-time posting.... yippee!

WoW! I can't believe i'm really blogging! I'm at work now, a little too early to start so I guess I still have time to post something. Jay and I are sweetie-sweetie again since last nyt after 2days of silent war. It's a long story, he has point as always, and I have mine for sure.

Jay started his 2-week training yesterday as a prerequisite to his profession. So we don't see each other on mornings (changed routines just like what we used to do :( ....). So lots of muni-muni's on my way to work. Then he'll just have to get his ride to our office to fetch me in the evening, wo can spend quality time ---- chatting, arguing on things, eating, hugging and all that (ciempre pa kasama un noh! :) And he'll go home later at night around 11 ~ 12 pm.

I just hope yr 2008 will be a fruitful one for us. I had lots of plans for the whole season to make way for my big dreams!

Way to go!.....

...getting to know the blog-owner...

Ei there. I'm May Cenezero Maglasang, 3rd child of our family, just turned 26 last November 27. Am currently working as an office staff/secretary to the president and other top management personnel at times (lots of bosses huh!)/internal auditor cum auditee as well. I enjoy working yet gets tired during paydays that it seems (eto na un! times) too behind the average if I may consider the workload & stuff. I can also say that i'm bit a bit lucky that i got to travel to Malaysia to have picture in front of Petronas Towers, and Tokyo Japan to finally meet Mickey of Disney (which is the very first reason of Supplier's Visit, seconded by the requirement in accordance to ISO Standards that we are implementing and maintaining {though it's really so hard to be organized and all---lalo na if you're personal system of life doesn't follow! hayyyy!)}.

Well anyway aside from that I also want to say that I belong to a happily-broken-family. My father has his 2nd family first (which means I got additional siblings) and my Mom had hers too I think 8 years later which my 2 sisters and I got a loveable brother named Jade. I can say we are happily broken one coz I still enjoyed my childhood. I never felt the lack of a father (thanks to Tatay--- my grandfather (mom's Tatay). And If I may based my family to the others who are complete yet so complicated coz theirs' lacks of peace and contentment and love. The father is either has lots of vices or hurts the family physically and emotionally.

As for the love of my life, Jay, I just love the guy! So in love! This is the first time that I see forever! I had special relationships before, but those never satisfied my personal-being. Maybe because I was younger then, or maybe because I was not into it really. My hubby/babe/honey bunch met last October 2002. Ours started from a simple holding hands pa-sway sway pa factor! And the rest was history as they say. We plan to get married after after 2 or 3 years. He has to get onboard first and earn and save lots of money (me as well must contribute) to sustain a family life.

...We'll that's it... that's the shortened story of my life... Big Dreams will follow soon....
