Married for 3 years

Filed under: Vhanie's kaik-ikan — angelsphinx at 4:24 am on Tuesday, November 11, 2008

It’s our 3 years civil wedding anniversary. I thank God for that 3 years, I have the best days of my life. I remember years ago , i was a woman who thought that I am one of those women who born to be alone. I had much pain in my heart from past unsuccessful relationships. And I said, enough. I don’t want to cry in third time. I can live without them. I realize now that I should thank them for hurting me. I maybe not here now… full of joy. I am not saying that I wont be in good hand if I marry to one of them. They’re good men and they’re treated me like a princess. It’s maybe because we’re not meant to be. We have our own lives now. I am happy that they’re in relationship and it seems that they’re in love too. They’re with nice people who could take care of them. I let them go already and I am praying for their happiness.
In three years, I can say that God is great. He gave me a man who is very patient on me. God gave me a life that I should have. I knew I am a good girl, thoughtful daughter and a loyal friend. I believe that I am destined to a happily ever after story. Inspite of pains, I never stop hoping that one day I will be the happiest lass. Thank God, I am now. Yes, I am proud of my current life. And I want to inspire and share it to others. I am proud of what I feel not of what material things I am getting. I have my two boys who love me unconditionally. Who pamper me if I am tired, sad and worried. I maybe have no palace, no fancy car, not living in a first world country and not a manager…But what I am proud of…..I have them with me. We are always together, laughing together, crying together….That’s important to me. I have assurance that no matter what I ’ll never be alone.

For three years, I have the best gift, my son. I love him so much, more than anything in this world. I thank God as well as my man for giving me a healthy and smart son. As a woman I feel complete. I am enjoying the motherhood. I am having fun watching my son growing everyday. For three years, I can say I have wonderful years.. We got married twice, by civil and in church. I gave birth of a healthy baby. My man is very nice to me..Loving, responsible, thoughtful and very good father to our son. I have nothing to complain. Life is great. I guess my secrets of being a happy wife are….less expectation, more hope, appreciate small things, communicate to your man and always be stoical. Above all, always talk to HIM.

BUILDING UP THE MAN IN YOUR LIFE

Filed under: Vhanie's kaik-ikan — angelsphinx at 2:04 pm on Sunday, October 12, 2008  Tagged

“And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. [19] And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. [20] And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. [21] And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; [22] And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.” Genesis 2:18-22 (KJV)

God had a plan for happy fulfilling relationships between a man and a woman. When we align ourselves with His plan great things can and will happen. However, the reality of many, is that the opposite is playing itself out every day. Unhappiness, discontentment, and down right hostility seems to be on the rise in many relationships. Have you asked the question, “Why?” There are answers, real answers to these and other questions. Of course they lie in the truth.

As we have seen, truth can be found from Gods’ word. The passage above has many truths that have helped thousands to be free from anger and turbulent relationships. In fact, there is a way to be happy and fulfilled for the rest of your life through these truths. The basic answer seems to be in the fact that God made Adam and Eve a certain way.

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” Genesis 1:27 (KJV)

It is obvious that men and women are different. He (man) was created in Gods’ image and therefore has some of the same characteristics and desires found in the nature of God. You may not believe that right now but it is true.

Are there some things that you are struggling with in the relationship you have with your man?

“…. Let all things be done unto edifying.” 1 Cor. 14:26 (KJV)

If you were going to build a house you would need some knowledge of construction so when you were finished it would be built properly. The word edifying here has a specific definition that would be helpful here. What we do needs to be done with building “upin mind.  Do you want to build up or tear down? I think the answer is build up. The reason is simple. If everything around us was torn down, we would have nothing. Prosperity and blessings come when we build. Our nation is great because we are a people who build. The same is true in your relationships. Building up someone you love simply means understanding them and doing things that please and strengthen them.

Anger doesn’t work in relationships and trying to make your man will prove to be an effort in frustration. Men will not change or be built up through criticism and complaints. He needs to have his basic desires met through you his wife. To get along and be happy you must understand your man. Whether he is a child, husband, friend or brother all men are pretty much the same. The needs of men are pretty much the same across the board. There are some variations but three things emerge that all men desire. You probably won’t guess them. In fact why not try it right now.

Since there are certain things that build a man up, try to name a few things that he (your man) desires.

Your Man Has Desires and Needs

Every man (for the most part) has the need to be respected, to be needed and to be fulfilled. How many did you get right? I hope all of them. But since someone else may not have a clue at this point I will discuss each of them in a little detail. Hopefully this will help you get started in the right direction. Before I start I need to make a note here.

If your relationship is in turmoil right now, I want you to realize that what you have been doing may not be working. Maybe you have been doing some things right but you have to come to terms with the fact that you may need to change some ways about you so that this relationship can be built up. OK, having said that let’s get into the three things every man desires. If he has these he will be a happy camper. Without them he will not flourish and do well.

Every Man Needs To Be Respected

God made man as a leader. For him to practice leadership he must have respect. This is a fact because all men are insecure in their position of leadership when it comes to you his wife. You can keep him from leading with disrespectful or cutting words or you can make him want to pull a freight train for you with words of sincere respect. Giving respect to someone who may not deserve it right now is a hard job to say the least. But it is the material for a great house that you can start to build today. Doing this takes humility and submission to the truth of God’s Word.

Freedom from relationship troubles comes from God. He didn’t make us different so we would fight but he did it so we would complement one another. To be honest men think that we women are intimidating. We have abilities that men don’t have and may never have. We are a reservoir of thoughts and strengths that we look at and say “Wow”. In our need to be respected, we tend to be defense and worried. We may put up a wall lest we be put down and wounded. Sincere respect on the other hand is like putting Nitrous Oxide into an average car. It will simply go wild.

The truth is that you are much higher in his thoughts than you may think. The problem may be that he isn’t getting respect. Maybe he isn’t making enough money. Maybe he isn’t working at all right now. The list of shortcoming can be long. He does however have some redeemable qualities and for these you need to give him respect. I have listed some scriptures to help you in this situation.

“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. [24] Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.” Ephes. 5:22,24 (KJV)

“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.” Col. 3:18 (KJV)

“Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands…” 1 Peter 3:1 (KJV)

Every Man Needs to be Needed

“Need me” is the secret desire of every man. A well-done comment goes very far in building up your man. When you rely on him it makes him feel needed. He really wants to be your hero. How can he do that when you criticize him? You may be thinkng, “He never does anything around the house.” Could it be that he may feel that he can never get it good enough for you and so “Why try”? On the other hand if he is just plain lazy you may have another set of issues to deal with.

We talk about our heroes. We talk to others about the things they have done. When you talk about his good side and he finds out what you have said it makes him feel great. Why do you think men are competitive? It is because they want to be the hero. Why not make him your hero and talk about him to others in a positive light? Give him the feeling that you really do need him and appreciate all that he does for you. Be excited about his job, hobbies and other things and he will want to please you.

What can you do to show him that you need him? List several things.

Every Man Needs to be Fulfilled

This is probably the simplest need of your man. Since this is true, you can help him be the best he can be by doing what he cannot or is not good at doing himself. You will build him up by making his favorite meals sometime when you know he is tired and hungry. (THIS IS MY FAVE THING…COOKING!!!!). That’s why my man always tells me, “You’re the best!, baby” O yeah, yes I am… I have heard women say, “I’m not cooking for him!”. The truth is they don’t understand or maybe care about his basic need. The need to be fulfilled. Another way to fulfill his basic needs is to keep neat, clean clothes and house for him.

Men can be dirty and uncaring in this area. Helping him will build him up and speak volumes about your feelings. When it comes to your little man in the house, your son, keeping him clean will make him feel fulfilled and happy. Clean clothes and a full stomach will make him feel that you really do love him. (ISN’T OBVIOUS… MY TWO BOYS HAVE BIG TUMMY??? LOL). When he is happy he will naturally want to make you happy. Doing this can be the start of a great relationship.

What kind of house do you desire? A dirty shabby run down home or a beautiful home that is the envy of others? You can have what you want through the truth of the word of God. Gods’ word has the answer when it comes to happy, healthy relationships. If you will seek him and the power of his Spirit you can become what he desires for your life.

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…” Acts 1:8 (KJV)

What can you do to make your man feel fulfilled and happy?

MY CONCLUSION….

Building up is better than tearing down when it comes to your relationships. Seek to see the good things in your man and brag on him. Helping to fulfill his needs, giving him respect and making him feel like he is needed will go a long way to build up your man and you relationship at the same time.

AMEN…. TULOG NA NGA AKO! HEHEHE…POINT OF VIEW LANG NI BANOTTTTTSSSS!

THE POWER OF PRAYER

Filed under: Vhanie's kaik-ikan — angelsphinx at 9:54 pm on Sunday, February 4, 2007

One morning, I woke
up and thanked God for a very nice dream. It was about my childhood days.. I
told that to my husband. We extremely laughed about it because in my dream I
saw him. Its kinda funny. Why? Because he was my playmate in my dream! Yup, it
’s funny..But is it kinda cute too, right ? Well, I wish we grew up together
and we discovered the world with our innocent minds. It’s a romantic dream for
me. He.he.he..Corny ba?


When I was a kid, having my own happy family was a number one in my prayer list.
Most of you guys knew that I grew up with single parent, my mom. My family is
happy. I have a wonderful mom & siblings, we eat three times a day and have
a good way of living. But there was something lacking. A father. I had only
seen him once..That was when I was 10 years old. Yes, I grew up without him. I don’t
complain about anything.. I grew normal like others. I can’t change the world.
I mean, I can’t force other people to love me. He is still my father..Yes, he
is..and will always be. I just pray to God that one day we will see each other
again. Because I don’t want to die with out a missing piece of me. I believe
the prayer’s power…(smiles).And I am working on it.

Yes, the power of
prayer is real! It’s proven by me. Imagine that, having my own happy family was
only my dream or I will say, it was only my number one request to GOD.. Now, I
have it! I never dreamed to be rich, to be a CEO of a company or to be a
popular person. Having a wonderful husband and a cute son was the simple wish I
had. And I am on cloud nine now that I have the best GIFT ever! My big Chris and
little one. Thank you Lord…In fact, my two lads give me more than what I
wished!  Lousy to hear but that gift cannot be compared to any material
thing in this world..Tell me dear reader, are you really contented with your
career or life without someone you love or let me say without someone who loves
and cares of you? Life is not fun when no one inspires you.. It’s meaningless.
What’s career/success for? Is it good when you have someone to share? Being a
mother and a wife is my career now..And I am 100% devoted to share it to my two
men of my life. I worked as an office employee before, that’s it! It’s enough
for me. I have no goal to be a manager or in any high position. For sure, many
of you will demur. I just want to be true. Let’s face the fact that sometimes
we get tired of being enslaved by the company where we work. To have my own
business is really what I want. I am a commerce graduate. Business of my own is
my line. But not now. I have my number one goal at this moment. To build my own
family. A real home, with father, mother & kids. Business is only there. It
won’t run from you. It’s you who will run of it! As a woman, I have a big role
in building a home. And I don’t want to mess it up. I want to make sure that my own family will always be stick together..I want my kids to grow with a father. So I must focus in my
present career. I am not saying; force yourself in finding someone who is
willing to build a home with you. LOL. Let someone find you. In other words,
let fate do it. Do the right way and God will do the rest .Believe it…It just
happens. Enjoy life, take time. But don’t forget the words of God in everything
you do. Make God the center of your life. Trust me, best thing will come in
your way… Just like a magic!

From my own
experience, prayer changed my world .Let me share my story to you my dear
readers. From my past relationship, it took for me of 2 years to heal the wound
& to feel the agony which I thought that’s the end of world. I was wrong.
Until one day, I just woke up and said to myself that I should move on. What
made me think of that?? Believe me; it’s all because of the words from the
Bible. I am not a holy woman or whatever.. I am just a plain Catholic being who
believes that reading a Bible helps a grieving soul. I realized that HE only
tested my faith in HIM. It’s was like a lightning that was hit on my head
saying: “hey, someone is better for you”. Or probably, it was HIM who whispered
on my ears. And that’s the time I started of my early morning session. Tell me
I am a crazy lady. I would accept that. But there’s nothing wrong of believing
a thing, right? Are you asking what my “early morning session” was? Well, don’t
think of green folks because it’s not anything but a prayer session! Yes it’s a
prayer thing! Imagine that, I woke up early 3:00 o’clock in the morning just to
pray the rosary! Pray that, “please, God give me peace and the real happiness
of life. Laugh..I don’t care..If it’s hilarious for you, fine! I have my own
fate..Do it too..Just try..And you’ll say, I am right. God exist folks..And
here’s another thing, do you believe of your guardian angel?? Well, I do..I had
encountered with my guardian angel once in my life..It happened to me when I
met my husband..Do you believe of asking "3 SIGNS"? Your 3 signs that
only you know about it?? Believe it or not, my guardian angel helped me to
deliver my “3 SIGNS” to GOD. It all happened to me. That, I can say that God
has created someone for us. So, I had no doubt to answer,” Yes, I do” to Chris.

 

I am not a primadonna,
boastful or whatever because of what I have now. Life is not perfect..I know
that I have more to encounter in my marriage life..But I have fate..And I have
assurance that God wont let me down…My only purpose of this is, I just want
to share how grateful to follow what’s really in your heart and mind. I wan
t to inspire others. I want to tell them that
God exits. Just pray.. In everything we do, he has plan. Pray..And do the right
things. You are the one who makes your own destiny. It’s your choice..HE will
give you the GIFT and it’s up to you to grab it or not. God is good. When you
ask, HE’LL answer..Trust me, HE will..

 

CHARRRRRRZZZ!!! Hoy, tulog na
Banots! Kung anu-ano na naman nasa isip mo..ha ha ha! good night folks!

  Sa hospital…Filipino nurse ang nag asikaso sa akin, thanks God! The doctor let me stay in hospital kasi in 24 hours lalabas na daw ang baby..My gush! I had a long labor..Lahat na yata ng santo santa at mga anghel tinawag ko na sa sobrang sakit..Yung bang feeling mo ay mahahati na ang katawan mo sa sakit..
   October 20, 7:00 am, dinala na ako sa delivery room..Papunta palang dun, I heard the screaming of other expecting moms from other delivery room..Ohhh no…masakit nga tlaga..kasi ibang level na ang mga sigaw nila..Yung iba nagmumura na..Nakakatawa pero no kidding, nakakakaba..Pero ganu man kasakit yun, bute na lang di naman ako naging kagaya nila..Tahimik lang ako kahit na sobrang sakit..Sabi nga saken ng Egyptian doctor ko, matapang daw ako..I am so glad na nasa tabi ko ang husband ko while suffering from pain..Sa kanya ako kumukuha ng lakas..And the feeling of excitement na makikita ko na ang anak ko, lahat ng sakit ay balewala..It’s worth!
   11:27 in the morning, I delivered a 7.5 healthy and handsome baby boy! Thanks GOD! Iba, iba tlaga ang feeling the first time na makita mo ang anak mo..Just imagine, 9 months mo syang hinintay and now he’s in your hands..at isipin mo rin, its really miracle..it’s because of love! I really believe now sa kasabihan ng mga nanay na iba ang mararamdaman mo pagnakita mo ang anak mo. Haaayyy..iba ang feeling talaga..
   Anyway, pupunta pala kami sa Philippine and American embassy..We’ll get passport of our angel..Iaapply namin sya for dual citizen..and also we will going to Cairo Egypt on Christmas so we need a visa for him. We going to stay in Sheraton Hotel for tonights. Yahhhooooo! I really loveee the breakfast buffet there.. And aside of that, Oh yes! Anniv na namin so we going to celebrate it now with our baby..I got a anniv present from my hubby…matagal ko ng dream..a JVC GZ-MG22 camcorder! yehheeey! I will use ds for film making..naku, born to be star yata ang anak ko! bwehehe! And aside from that, my hubby will send me to beauty parlor..O diba ang taray! aba naman kailangan ng mega make over after pregnancy, di vah?? he. he..
   Well, anyway…thats the latest of me..in over all..I am happy..mega, to d max, super dooper happy! Thanks God for all the blessings!!

Little Chris first baby things!

Filed under: Vhanie's kaik-ikan — angelsphinx at 11:34 pm on Friday, September 8, 2006
One month na lang! Yahooooo! The moment na talagang hinihintay ko! To see my son, the fruit of love of Chris and Vhanie (naks). Masarap pala nag feeling ng magiging isang mommy na..Cant explain the feelings. Sabi nga nila, "The essense of a woman is to become a MOTHER". Well, thats true..You’re never be a woman kung may kulang sa buhay..ika nga, wala kang gamit sa mundo..joke! After my 5 years work career (profession), I can say na, I am fully satisfied what I got! Di man ako naging manager or whatever higher rank, am happy.  I had alot of experiences from the company where I worked na I can say I will bring/ remember it for the rest of my life.. As of now, being a wife and a mom is my new career! And I am proud of it! Masarap ang ganitong profession..trust me..Yes, mababaw lang ang kaligayahan ko..Kung dati, your boss was proud of your job, now, it’s a billion million times ang feelings ng maging proud sayo ang husband mo and soon to see the "bun" in your oven na pinakahihintay mo for 9 months..Iba, it’s really different feeling! I’m not saying na I will not continue my profession..Siguro, after years, I will work again or maybe have a business..But as of now, my family is my first priority..
Last week, busy na kami sa pagprepare ng gamit ni Little Chris..Syempre, ang tatay, di mo paipinta ang mukha sa tuwa sa pagpili ng gamit para sa junior nya..Nakakatuwa tingnan..Prepare na lahat..Ika nga, pagpunta na lang sa hospital ang kulang saka ang pag ere! he. he.. Happy kami ni Chris kasi my OB told us na di daw ako ma SC..Haay thanks GOD! Average weight lang ang baby sa loob ng tiyan ko..Yun nga e suuppper likot na..Gusto na yatang lumabas..Wala na nga akong tulog sa gabi..Pati ang tatay e nagiging sa lakas ng padyak ng anak! ha! ha!
Anyway, i took picture ng first baby things ni little Chris…Ito:
Babythings

Back to foriegn land!

Filed under: Vhanie's kaik-ikan — angelsphinx at 6:33 am on Friday, September 1, 2006

Banyang is back to foriegn land! It’s sad to leave my place but I have my new home now..It’s a wierd place but honestly I missed everything when I was in the Philippines. Haaay…andito na ulet kami sa bahay namin!

As of now, Chris and I are busy preparing ng mga gamit ng maging baby namin. Kahapon lang, we went to downtown and we bought alot of baby things. May stroller na syempre, hightech stroller pa! May baby bed na rin. Nakakatuwa mamili..Super likot na nin little Chris. Gusto na yata lumabas..Na… too early..Minsan nga, nagigising kami ni Chris sa gabi kasi ang lakas ng kick ng baby. Nakakatuwa! Yung may time na makakapa mo yung paa nya or minsan yung ulo. We are excited, super excited! Soon tatlo na kami. And for sure, we’ll be busy..Andami naming ambition para sa anak namin. Haay naku, ang ama, napakaproud sa maging junior nya.. E sino ba namang hindi, may magko-continue na ng family name nila. Ang mga inlaws ko nga e sobrang saya nung malaman nilang baby boy ang isisilang ko. Si Chris na lang kasi ang last na Teggatz. Ang nag iisang lalaki sa generation nila..So, since on the row ang dinadala ko, aba, tuwang tuwa nag buong angkan!

Busy rin kami ngayon sa pag aayos ng bahay namin..Madaming pagbabago kasi madaming ilalagay sa maging place ni little Chris..Of course ang arrangement ng bahay e maiiba..Kahapon, di lang pala baby things ang pinamili namin kundi gamit sa bahay, interior plants, bonsai, at namili na din ako ng floral plants. I love gardening! So ngayon puno ng bulaklak at halaman ang bahay! he. he.

Aside from that, inasikaso na rin namin nag visa ni ermats! Hopefully, andito na sya by end of September. Sana nga mas maaga kasi wala talaga akong makakasama sa bahay kung nasa work si Chris..Magpareserve kami bukas ng ticket ni nanay. Nakapagpareserve na rin pala kami ng ticket and hotel for the Christmas vacation sa Egypt. Pupunta din ang mga inlaws ko to meet our baby.

Hayun, yang lang naman ang latest saken…lapit na ang due date ko..Am excited to see little Chris!

I dont wanna leave this place! To the fact na mafeel mo talaga ang pagiging holy ng place..Well, we all know na Vatican is Pope’s place. Pinasok din namin ang Basilica kung saan nagmass ang Pope..Holy Mighty! Super namangha ako sa ganda ng simbahan..at mga paintings around the it. Napaiyak nga ako nung makita ko ang altar. Syempre super pray kami ng hubby ko sa lahat lahat ng blessings na dumating sa buhay namin..Its corny to say. Sa simbahan na to nafeel ko na sobrang mahal ako ng hubby ko. Corny noh? Pero masarap..O diba??? We went also to Vatican Museum. Hanep ang mga paintings sa loob.. World famous, wall painting! All Michael Angelo’s pieces. Ang Sistine Chapel syempre! Sino ba makalimot sa Gladiator place, The Collisuem??? Aba, dont miss that place kasi baka magsisi kayo..Nasa tapat nya ang Roman ruins and Constantine Arc.. Then at the next street ay ang Vittorio Monument..Masarap gumala sa Rome..Yun nga lang, you have to watch your wallet! he. he..Kasi lahat e masakit sa bulsa..LOL. Food??? Ano pa nga ba kundi pasta dito, pizza doon. Next, the Tuscany! 4 Hours ang biyahe from Rome to Tuscany. Sarap sumakay sa European train..Syempre, di natulog ang Banots sa biyahe..Dont wanna miss everything about Europe. Nasa Castilleoncillo nakatira ang cousin ko, Ate An An..Binisita namin sya..Ganda rin ng lugar..lots of hills na may trigo. Super lamig nga lang kaya ang lola mo e nanginginig sa lakaran! =) Been years na di kami nagkikita ni Ate An..Hayun, super chikahan at iyakan kami. Ang cute ng mga pamangkin ko..Ate An got 3 kids. A boy and 2 girls. Kamukha ko yung eldest girl, si Aurora. he. he. Then after Castilleoncillo, Ate An’s family give us tour to Volterra, Sienna, Livorno and Genova! 2 hours na lang e Milan na..Sayang, we’re not able to go to Milan kasi nagkasakit si Nicky..and Chris felt bad. Sa sobrang lamig kasi, lalagnatin ka tlaga..Ang sarap ng lugar..We took alot of pics. (see photo album and slideshow in my profile)
