The strength of Love: Mona’s Journey and Dreams

In a bustling city, there lived a remarkable woman named Mona. She was in her 40s, balancing the roles of a devoted mother and a diligent part-time worker. Mona’s loving husband, Mark, stood by her side, providing unwavering support as they navigated through life’s hardships and celebrated their successes together. Mona’s days were a juggling act, as she worked tirelessly to support their family’s financial needs. Despite the long hours and demanding responsibilities, she never allowed her exhaustion to overshadow her love for her three children: Belle, Sayuri, and Daichi. As Belle, the eldest, embarked on her teenage years, Mona faced the challenges of guiding her along a path filled with lessons and self-discovery. Sayuri, with her vibrant spirit, followed closely by her side, eager to explore the world. And Daichi, the youngest, brought endless joy and laughter to their home.

Life was not always kind to Mona and her family; they encountered their fair share of hardships. Financial burdens, unexpected expenses, and the constant juggle between time and responsibilities weighed on their shoulders. However, Mark’s steadfast support and love never wavered, acting as Mona’s pillar of strength during their most challenging moments. With love as the foundation of their marriage, Mona and Mark nurtured an open line of communication, fostering an environment where their dreams, needs, and concerns were openly shared. They recognized that a happy marriage necessitated understanding and compassion, allowing them to overcome any obstacle together. Their harmonious family life was built upon shared responsibilities. Mona and Mark partnered in raising their children, dividing household chores, and managing their finances. Each family member contributed, creating an atmosphere of understanding, respect, and independence. Mona’s dedication to her family was matched only by her commitment to her part-time job. Despite the demands of her work, she always made time for her children’s school events, extracurricular activities, and moments of pure joy. Mona understood the importance of being present, of cherishing the fleeting years of childhood. Successes, big and small, were celebrated by the family, reinforcing their unbreakable bond. Together, they acknowledged and applauded each other’s achievements, teaching their children the values of hard work and perseverance. These moments of shared joy served as a reminder of the power of unity and family support. In the midst of their struggles, Mona and Mark never lost sight of their dreams. Mark encouraged Mona to pursue further education, recognizing her potential and her passion for learning. With Mark’s support and the aid of scholarships, Mona was able to enroll in evening classes, broadening her knowledge and preparing herself for a brighter future. As years passed, Mona’s determination carried her to new heights. She secured a full-time job, bringing stability and more opportunities for their family. The financial burden lessened, and Mona’s newfound career fulfilled her own aspirations, inspiring her children to strive for their goals. Amidst the chaos of daily life, Mona and Mark made it a priority to cultivate a warm and loving home. Family dinners were treasured moments, filled with laughter and heartfelt conversations. Weekends were reserved for outings, exploring local parks, museums, and creating lasting memories.

Years later, as their children ventured into their own lives, Sayuri following her passion for art, Belle becoming an advocate for environmental sustainability, and Daichi focused on his love for science, Mona and Mark looked back at their journey with gratitude. Their commitment to each other and their shared values had laid the foundation for the successes their children now embraced. Through life’s hardships and successes, Mona and Mark’s unwavering support bolstered their love and nurtured a harmonious family. Their unified front triumphed over adversity, and their determination kindled a flame of hope that guided them through even the darkest of times. And so, the story of Mona, her dedicated husband Mark, and their resilient children Belle, Sayuri, and Daichi, served as a testament to the power of love, unity, and unwavering support. Together, they weaved a tapestry of strength and resilience, cherishing the beauty of their journey, and embracing the wondrous colors that came together to paint the masterpiece of their lives.

Raising a Child Effectively in the New Generation

Raising a child in today’s fast-paced and technologically advanced world can be both exciting and challenging. As a parent, it is crucial to adapt to the changes and provide an environment that fosters the development of well-rounded, independent, and compassionate individuals. This essay aims to outline key strategies for raising a child effectively in this new generation.

1. Balance Technology Usage:
Technology plays a significant role in the lives of children today. While it offers numerous benefits, excessive screen time can have adverse effects on their physical and mental well-being. To raise a child effectively, it is essential to strike a balance between technology use and real-world experiences. Encourage activities such as outdoor play, creative pursuits, social interactions, and reading to develop a holistic approach to life.

2. Be a Role Model:
Children tend to imitate their parents’ behavior. Therefore, it is crucial to be a positive role model, exhibiting the values and traits you want to instill in your child. Whether it’s kindness, integrity, resilience, or respect, cultivating these qualities in yourself will help guide your child’s moral and ethical development.

3. Foster Effective Communication:
Effective communication is key to building a strong parent-child relationship. In the digital age, it is essential to actively listen to your child and create a safe space where they feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and emotions. Encourage open-ended conversations and ask insightful questions to promote critical thinking and empathy.

4. Encourage Emotional Intelligence:
In a world that often prioritizes academic achievements and technical skills, it is equally important to nurture emotional intelligence in children. Teach your child to recognize and regulate their emotions, empathize with others, and communicate their feelings effectively. This will help them navigate complex social situations, cultivate meaningful relationships, and cope with life’s challenges.

5. Foster a Growth Mindset:
The new generation is often exposed to immense pressure to succeed, leading to fear of failure and an aversion to taking risks. As a parent, it is crucial to instill a growth mindset in your child. Encourage them to see failures as opportunities for learning and growth, celebrate their efforts, and teach them the importance of perseverance and resilience.

6. Teach Critical Thinking and Media Literacy:
With an abundance of information available at their fingertips, it is essential to teach children how to think critically and navigate the digital landscape responsibly. Encourage skepticism, teach them to question sources, and promote media literacy skills to ensure they can discern reliable information from misinformation.

7. Cultivate a Love for Learning:
In the new generation, acquiring knowledge and skills is an ongoing process that extends far beyond the classroom. Foster a love for lifelong learning by encouraging exploration, curiosity, and pursuing diverse interests. Create an environment that values education, supports intellectual growth, and celebrates the joy of learning.

Conclusion:
Raising a child effectively in this new generation requires adapting to the changes while grounding them in timeless values. By striking a balance between technology use, being a positive role model, fostering effective communication, promoting emotional intelligence, instilling a growth mindset, teaching critical thinking, and cultivating a love for learning, parents can help their children thrive in this rapidly changing world. Remember, it’s a journey that requires patience, understanding, and continuous learning for both parents and children alike.

Getting over toxic people and relationships

Getting over toxic people and relationships can be challenging, but it’s an essential step towards rebuilding a healthier and happier life. Here are some steps you can take to help you move forward:

1. Recognize the toxicity: The first step is to acknowledge that the relationship or person is toxic. Look for signs of emotional, psychological, or physical abuse, manipulation, constant negativity, or disrespect. Understanding the impact of toxicity on your well-being is crucial.

2. Set boundaries: Establish clear boundaries to protect yourself from further harm. Limit or cut off contact with the toxic person if possible. Communicate your boundaries respectfully but firmly, and be consistent in enforcing them.

3. Seek support: Reach out to trusted friends, family members, or a therapist who can provide guidance and emotional support. Sharing your experiences with someone who understands can be immensely helpful during the healing process.

4. Focus on self-care: Make self-care a priority. Engage in activities and practices that promote your well-being, such as exercise, healthy eating, adequate rest, and hobbies you enjoy. Take time to rebuild your self-esteem and invest in personal growth.

5. Work on forgiveness: Forgiveness is not about condoning toxic behavior; it’s about freeing yourself from the emotional weight associated with the past. This process may take time, so be patient with yourself. Remember, forgiveness is more for your own healing than for the toxic person.

6. Learn from the experience: Reflect on the toxic relationship and identify any patterns or warning signs to avoid in the future. Understanding your own vulnerabilities and making conscious choices can help prevent similar situations from happening again.

7. Surround yourself with positivity: Surround yourself with supportive and positive people who uplift you. Cultivate healthy relationships that promote growth, understanding, and mutual respect. Focus on nurturing connections that contribute to your overall well-being.

Remember, healing takes time, and everyone’s journey is unique. It’s important to be gentle and patient with yourself as you move forward.

Life struggles at work and at home..

Life struggles can be challenging, especially when they are experienced both at work and at home. Balancing the demands and expectations of these two important aspects of one’s life can often lead to significant stress and difficulties.

At work, individuals may face a variety of challenges. These could include heavy workloads, unrealistic deadlines, interoffice conflicts, lack of recognition, or a poor work-life balance. Feeling overwhelmed and constantly under pressure can lead to burnout and impact overall job satisfaction. In such situations, it becomes crucial to find effective ways to manage stress, communicate one’s needs, and set healthy boundaries.

Similarly, struggles at home can significantly impact one’s overall well-being. These can range from strained relationships with family members, financial issues, caregiving responsibilities, or personal hardships like illness or loss. The emotional toll taken by these difficulties can spill over into professional life, affecting motivation, focus, and productivity on the job.

Fortunately, there are strategies that individuals can employ to navigate these challenges. It is essential to prioritize self-care and set aside time for personal well-being. Seeking support from loved ones, trusted friends, or professional counselors can provide valuable guidance and perspective. Additionally, open and effective communication, both at work and at home, can help to address conflicts and alleviate stress.

Remember, it is crucial to be kind to oneself during such times of struggle. Recognizing and celebrating even small victories can cultivate resilience and maintain a positive mindset. Ultimately, making deliberate efforts to achieve a healthy balance between work and personal life can lead to increased happiness and satisfaction in both realms.

Japan

Good day everyone! It’s been a while since I posted my blog. Been 3 years without an update about me. My apology for being out of sight. Anyways! I missed all my readers and those who are just dropping by who happened to bump into my website please follow me on my facebook I’m more active on social media.

Today I want to share with you an update of my life. During the pandemic on Covid19, Me and my family leaved Penang 2 years ago. We decided to moved back to my Husband’s homeland his country, Japan. It is my dream to live here with my family and raised our kids here. I wanted to live a more meaningful life. Im in the middle of getting my feet up again and I wanted to work. I feel it in my bones that this is my calling. That was my thought before we left Penang. And so here I am working so hard keeping myself busy earning for a living. One thing I realized that life here in Japan isn’t easy than when we were in Penang, Malaysia. Because Japan is a rich Country, so as the taxes here are high. Since we arrived life has not been easy for us. Always making ends meet in everything, we can’t afford luxury in our life like before. We cannot go to a family vacation. Can’t have a weekend family dining out. Betteryet, can’t have a savings. It’s really expensive here. Maybe that’s why many japanese are going abroad and deciding to immigrate out of this country because of the taxes. But I also appreciate what the government here is doing for its citizens. Everyone must get their pension paid, all of the old people are receiving their hardpaid taxes through their pension and health care benefits. They also support children by giving them allowance each quarter. Although its not really enough to support the kids atleast it helps even a little. For the poor family they get exempted in paying their taxes but still need to pay their retirement fees. Everyone even foreigners that migrates here in Japan need to pay the retirement fees and residence tax it is compulsary and mandatory.

As for the kids, we sent them to a public school as we cant afford it here to send them to an International school unlike in Malaysia. But its also good because they’d be able to experience how to study in a public school. They will learn the basics in Japanese culture, the language and history. But its really a tough struggle for them specially learning the japanese language, all their life they only speak in english language. I hope my children succeed in their new school and make friends. I hope they learn properly and easily get used to their new school and the environment. For me and my husband we will work as hard to survived and raised our kids the way we should. We are living a simple life here, not the same as before but were trying to live better each day. We are still in the state of adjustments but we will cope, hopefully we can return back to the life we used to be. This is all new experience for us. We stay strong together, keeping the faith in God to provide for our needs and give us guidance in every decisions we will make.

I am Blessed! One more good thing that happened to me is that I finally meet my mother-in-law she is a bubbly yet dignified woman of her age. I’m thankful to see and meet her alive. Sadly my father-in-law didn’t make it before we arrived in Japan. His passing is also one of the reason why we moved to Japan. We lived with my husband’s mother in their ancestral house. Its a simple house which his mother used to say that it is built for his first son which is my husband. That she is leaving it to him when her time comes. We stayed there for a year, since it is in the provincial area the salary rate is low. We couldn’t saved. I wanted to get more money to provide for my family in the philippines too so we discussed of our future and planning to moved to Yokohama from Akita. Now we are living here in Yokohama for about 9 months now. I like it here, my kids like it here too. Its in the City. Lifestyle here is more expensive but its more fun to explore. Salary rate is also good but we need to pay for apartment rent its an additional baggage for us. And its not that cheap too. Anyway, the only benefit is that, we have our freedom to live in our own way without contemplating somebody else. It is easier to moved in our own pace and do things by ourselves without side comments. Its tough to contemplate.. its taking out my peace of mind. And me being just myself without trying to be extra nice because its really tiring, its draining my energy and youth. I think everyone feels the same. I hope our life here in Japan would be more meaningful and happy. I guess thats all for now.. i promised i will update here in my blog every 2 weeks or once a month or whenever i feel like sharing with you guys. Thank you for your support and reading my blog. ‘Till next post. See you again!

My precious family (insert belle)👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🥰

Life is short..make the most of it while you still got the time.

Day before yesterday, I heard of the sad news from a close friend that his wife passed away, we were like siblings during our college years. I am mourning deep within for the lost of a loved-one. His wife suffered from cancer and upon this sickness she was also pregnant during this period. Its a heavy burden for her, but she kept strong until she gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Too late for them to realized and noticed the disease. Its a traitor disease.. very deadly and agonizing. Since hearing the news that she had been diagnosed with cancer that is really at the advanced stage they felt that they’ve been hit by a badluck. Stage 4 cancer is tough and it can hardly get recover. But in rare cases through chemotheraphy there is a chance of recovering if its still at the early stage but stage 4 and 5 is so unlikely to be cured. During her chemo treatment her health rapidly go down and I can barely recognized her physical appearance. A once bubbly woman had become so slim and unlively. It breaks my heart seeing her suffer and I sympathized for my friends, they were together for almost 18 yrs and they had blessed with three wonderful kids. Its a heartbreaking scene to see and be into. But they fight a good fight because they had a new baby, its really ironic. You cant distinguished the good and bad out of this situation. You will probably think that it’s better to keep healthy body and live longer to take care and be with your family than bringing another child that will manifest the sickness within you. But a mother’s love grow from within that keeping the child is much important because it is a life you are bringing, despite the chance that you might lose your own life. The one that would suffer in the end are the one’s who are left behind. I symphatized for the father who had lost the mother of his children because from here and forward he will be the one to carry through the heavy baggage on his shoulder. Alone to make it through each day to survived in this world. I can imagine how hard it will be to carry on. A heavy heart, a worried mind and empty feelings all this at once is nothing but pain. It may take a lot of time to heal from it, but we must not lose track of our own life, of the one’s that are living and we are held responsible.

Because of this situation that I witness, I realized that life is really short and its unpredictable. Anything can happen at anytime and at any place. So we need to be prepared for the people who will be left behind when our time has come. Everything in this world doesn’t last forever. We will all be history. Even this world that we are living will perished in time. So lets make the most of our remaining time, lets not worry too much and stressed ourselves too much it can only trigger a sickness in our body, live in a mindful manner and always feel grateful everyday that you are alive and you have another day to live. Enjoy and do things that will make you happy, don’t hold back on your own happiness as long as your being responsible of the things and for the people that matters to you. Travel as much as you can and embraced the world. Live a meaningful life, LIVE, LAUGH and LOVE. Life is too short to waste on time you have with your worries, anger, bitterness, loneliness and sadness. Stop fighting each other, instead appreciate each other. We are here for a purpose and that purpose is to love one another not to fight and kill each other. Wouldn’t it be great if we are all living in peace and harmony. Every family can celebrate the daily walks of life and continue living life with love in their hearts.

Before I end this topic, I want to share my own wishes before I die. If ever I’d be the first one to leave, I hope that my partner in life would feel in peace and continue the journey that we started in our family. I know that he is a responsible father. So im in peace and will give him my blessing to pursue his happiness. Continue what he loves to do and take good care of our children’s future. I trust his decisions when it comes to our children’s welfare. I want him to stay beside with our children when Im gone. Be their life teacher and advisor. And I want my children to listen and follow him. I also wish that we can unite with his parents and introduced them to our family. It is important for me, it will bring me more respect towards him and look-up to him as the gentleman of the house. I wish that I can travel to Egypt.. Last but not the least, I want my remains to be cremated and kept by my children in a jar inside their home. So that my spirit will stay with them. I will be your guidance forever in your hearts. Offer me a prayer everyday or write me a letter on your diary, I will surely read those. Finally, I can watch over you from heaven. So do all your best to live a good life. Never hurt anyone specially each other. Always be there for each other. Follow your dreams and aspirations. Reached all your goals. Everytime you do I will be clapping and smiling with your achievements. Always remember, If there’s a will, there’s a way. Never give up until the end. We will be together again.

Past vs. Present

The past is an integral part of the present. No matter what situation you are in your past determines your present reality. Sometimes our past can teach us overcome and realized the importance of something or someone in our life until its gone. Even the past feelings still affects our behaviors at present specially when we try to remember those memories we left behind and the people that made us feel that way. And sometimes we imitate those feelings again in the present moment. The people that made an impact in our life in the past still matter in our subconscious mind. Some notices it and some dont really mind as long as they are living a happy life in the present reality. I think those who still lingers in the past has’nt really moved on or should i say they are living in regret. Its ideal if you are aware of your present life than living in the past full of what ifs? Still dreaming for another chance to continue to live with that kind of feeling. We cannot cut the ties of past experiences because we live up to it to be in our present situation. The in between’s are the choices we made to settle in the present reality. Our world is big and the universe is infinite its full of mysteries, our situations changes everytime. We cannot hold up to this present moment always for it will be another record of our past when tomorrow comes. Changes are the only constant thing in this world, we need to live up to it to continue to exist. I think its better to live our life with no regret just learning from it everyday. Think of what’s really important in your present life. Who are the people that matters most in your life now and not the one’s whom you leaved behind in your past. The present is the one that you choose to have that’s why you are living with it. If you already learned from your failures in the past you wouldn’t want to experienced the same. And if your happiness from the past really made you happy then keep that feeling and share it with your present reality with the people you have in your life now. That way you can keep the happiness that you need for life. Lingering on the feelings from the people you cherished in the past is really unfair if its not the same person. You should learn how to focus on the present reality of your life including the person you are with now because things on the past that you want to live with and keep forever in your heart would have’nt been lost or failed if you learned to focus at your present situation at certain moment. So learn and focus your life at present, that’s what really matters to you now. The sense of responsibility is upon your shoulder. Keep that in mind always, that way we can all avoid disappointments and frustrations. We wont experience depression. Its a very ugly feeling that can bury you alive. Better yet, avoid the negativity and always be hopeful think positive, its like a magnet for good vibes and you will feel lighter; good things happen when you think of goodness only. Most of all keep your faith in God for His plan is bigger than your plan. God knows what to do. Always be good for you’ll get the best reward. That’s all!

Langkawi

Our first family trip this year 2019. Actually today is the Chinese new year celebration. My family went to langkawi island to spend our holiday break. Its time to relax and have fun specially the kids. This trip is our surprised for them.. We tell the kids that were going to a secret place, the excitement and fun comes pouring since the day we make hotel booking and bought tickets to ride on ferry. Langkawi is a tourist spot destination in the Northwest part of Malaysia and its the Duty free capital of this country. We went off to the ferry terminal going to langkawi at noon time. The ferry sails at 2pm. So we still got plenty of time. No worries for there’s no traffic jam today. When the kids finds out the secret place that we mention was langkawi they were surprised and when its time for us to go inside the ferry Yuri felt scared a bit. It is the first time for the kids to ride on this kind of transportation. The sea travel takes 3 hrs to reached our destination. Seems like everybody fell asleep except for me. The feeling of excitement keeps me awake.

We arrived in langkawi at 5pm and were all starving. We find a food court upon the exit of the building, the place was crowded and food were simple but tasty and cheaper. After eating we booked a grab taxi, unfortunately the first taxi cancel my booking, then found again the nearby available grab taxi, waited for 10 mins to get in the car, its small but everybody can fit including our luggage’s. The driver is quiet hot tempered due to traffic jam. Inside the port terminal area was crowded and many cars coming in and out which causes traffic jamming. Will take more time and patience to exit to main roads. We reached the hotel in 15 mins.. We are amazed of this hotel, simple and classic, family-friendly atmosphere. Most of the people checkin’ in were with kids and family. The room is clean and nice with the sea view. It has two bedroom suite, a balcony with kitchen, two baths and drying room. The bed is big enough for us.. Sayuri and Daichi goes swimming soon after we get in our room. The kids pool has a slide where the kids play while swimming. Me and hubby accompany them to the pool, hubby ordered up a beer and coffee together with cordon bleu and a fries side dish. Were relaxing a little, until kids finished swimming. Later in the evening, when everyone gets hungry we went down the lobby where there is an Indian resto beside the souvenirs shop lining up the front desk reception. The food was good and very affordable. The food satisfies our hunger. Burp-burp-burp! We find the souvenir shop fascinating and went to buy some for the kids and mine. Everyone was happy.

The next day, we planned to go at oriental village to see the sky bridge. Before our trip we already pre-booked our tickets. Its a package worth 55rm/adult and 41rm/child which include Star Dome, 3D museum, sky cab gondola and the star Rex. The ticket for the sky glide to go to the sky bridge is separate we need to buy it when we reach the top, the tickets were worth 15rm/adult and 10rm/child. The last activity the Star Rex we didn’t push to go because our time was limited and the line up was quiet tiring. Were all sweating cause of the crowd. But it was a fun and happy moments together while waiting for the cue up. When we ride the sky cab it was an amazing panorama view. Breathe taking view and very much fulfilling experience, the sky cab was so exciting and fun but a bit scary if something happen on the cable operation we can be stucked up there hanging.. my oh my a scary thought i had in mind. I hope we dont fall down in the forest. The kids enjoyed much this ride though. Another memorable experience for them and for us as a family. We finished our activity by around past 6pm. Then along the road we decided to have a seafood for dinner.. using the google map we search for resto around the corner and street of pantai cenang road. We found the resto named The Roof, it was a cozy and a bit expensive Chinese seafood resto. The ambiance was rustic with wooden theme. The food was deliciously good. We were satisfied. Then after dinner we went back straight to the hotel. Today’s activity was done its tiring but fulfilling seeing the happy face of my family. Hubby is in good mood too. After cleaning up and shower we can finally head to bed and have a peaceful sleep. It was a wonderful evening.

The 3rd day we decided to go for a swim at the pool. Everybody is enjoying, i also got to try the slide a few times with the kids. It feels so great and i feel like a child again. Hahahaha 😂😂😂 but cant continue doing so bcoz im an adult already and its quiet a shame for me also. So i just go along and bring the kids at the large pool. Daichi cant reach the pool floor yet so i need to assist him. Then hubby went in the water with us too. We all enjoyed swimming. By lunch time we go on with our sked to go in Pantai cenang area at the big mall there. The mall was named Zon its a duty free mall just beside the langkawi aquarium. First we went to eat for lunch, the kids wanted mc donalds so we had burgers and fries. Later then we go inside the duty free mall and found that the items here were all so cheap. I bought up some chocolate and hubby buy us liquor, its been a long time since he had a drink of his favorite whiskey. I also had one for myself. Hehehe 😁😁😁 Hubby was surprised of the cheap price of the things here specially the alcohol. When buying alcohol you will need to present a government issued ID or passport. Maybe they are checking when you are minor, a foreign national, Muslim or not. I like this place, i wanted to stay a little more days but sad to say we need to go back home in Penang by tomorrow. 😟 I wish we can come back soon again and get a hotel nearby this area. Its was so amazing and fun to look around at every corner of the streets. Many shops and likes, also seafood resto’s. At this moment i really feel like a real tourist in this area. After shopping, we went to the beach side, the sand beach was so fine, it was fascinating. Many tourist in their swim suits walking by, sun bathing, enjoying the water activities even when the sun is really hot. Hubby let Yuri and ichi try and ride the jet-ski with him. The kids first time experiencing the ride, ichi seemed to fall asleep coz’ of the wave maybe and Yuri got a bit scared when the wave goes high and bump into them. But hubby rides it slowly too. After the jet-ski ride we went out on the street where there were lots of souvenirs shop. Buy some and went back to the car we rented. We decided to go back to the hotel and had our dinner with room service. Everybody was tired.. We all had been busy on this holiday, later after dinner hubby and Yuri went for a little swim while i get massage at this hotel’s spa. The massage was not so satisfying. A bit disappointed. Thai massage is much better for me. Tonight is a sweet night. Another day pass by, the next day is our last day here in langkawi. We had collected lots of good and fun memories as a family. Before leaving the hotel we had our usual breakfast at the hotel’s buffet, after that kids and hubby went for a last plunge in the pool while im keeping and preparing our luggage’s. After im done i went down and gave the kids ice cream and hubby’s ice latte. Im thankful and grateful for him being a good husband and father to our children. This moment is ours to keep in our memories.

By 12 noon we went down for check out. Wait for the grab taxi to send us to ferry terminal. We missed to see the eagle statue, one of the activity i planned to visit during this trip. We run out of time to do so, maybe next time around when we get to visit here again. I hope we will. Anyway, we took our lunch at Kenny rogers while waiting for our boarding time. After that we went inside the terminal for checking in but sadly hubby lost our printed boarding pass. Now he has to run at the agency to reprint it again. He paid 5rm for that. Until the time comes for us to board at the gate we were the first on the line we were given the seats no. 1-5 its in front row of the ferry. It was more spacious. All the kids and i fall asleep. The trip was fun and tiring at the same time but it was a good time with lots of memories to cherished. Goodbye for now Langkawi.

God bless you all! Have a nice day…c”,)

Being grateful for each new day everyday

Finally found my time to update on this blog, sorry for the long awaiting moment. Her we go..

By the way i would like to greet everyone who is reading this now a Happy New Year! May we all have a great more meaningful, purposeful and blessed year on this 2019.

I don’t make new years resolution on this year because i don’t want to get disappointed, so i thought its just better to plan life according to our needs then just go with the flow. But remember, don’t expect too much. If great things come and happen then be thankful, if misfortunes happen find its lesson and do better next, still be thankful for it makes u stronger and more better. Be more courageous. That’s what I learned from all the past experiences I had. As long as your breathing there’s always hope for a better tomorrow. 

In this life we cannot really guarantee to always have a good life but we can make plans to get it. Sometimes in the easiest way and sometimes in the hard way, but still life goes on. We may not get successful yet or maybe your still falling behind or it seems like impossible for us to reached our goals in life still we managed to live each day, still breathing and alive. That’s already one thing we should be thankful for that were alive. That means we could still continue to strive until we get a grip on our goals. The fruit of success taste better when we worked hard for it. As I think about working hard to achieved our goals, I feel overwhelmed seeing my husband working hard and doing his responsibility in our family well. I feel blessed and grateful for having him in our life. He is the best for me, our life is balance and we keep our relationship intact. I feel fulfillment in everything that he do for us specially in providing for our family, taking care of us and loving us unconditionally. I’m not saying that he is a perfect man, but he is trying to do things right perfectly. Being a good father to our children and a great partner for me.

We are were we needed be. I believed that its in God’s plan why we are here and not anywhere in the world. Penang had been our second home for the last 3 yrs. Our family is living here nicely, although sometimes we also had our tough times but we always survived it. On those moments we learned and try to plan better. In every struggle we encounter we always learn something new and apply it on our daily life. We should be thankful for the hard times experiences for it lets us grow and realized our mistakes so it wont happen again. We strive and fight on the bad moments and try to see the brighter side. We are trying to be more positive now. I’m always an optimist because I have my Faith in God that He will not forsake us. As long as we are good to others and follow his rules we need not to worry because He is our Greatest provider. I believed this from the bottom of my heart. He is our refuge.

I also feel so blessed for my children, they give us so much happiness, enjoyment, love and inspiration. I can say that a children’s laughter is the energy that gives us the will to carry-on in our hardships. They are the ones that built the harmony in our family. My wish for them is to experience great things life has to offer and experience to travel more and learn to adapt others culture. That certain knowledge they can learn out of school can give them more confidence in surviving life on their own. So every opportunities that we can get and give to our children to experience the things they needed to grow into a better person we will give it to them. Me and my husband agrees to that. We are building foundations for the future through our children so we must teach them the right things to do. Make them good leaders and ruler of themselves in order to served humanity. Be a good role model to others. This will be as parents can be our greatest achievement. Seeing them to succeed in life and becoming a good citizens in our society is one of our hopes. In God’s guidance and love in our hearts we can possibly achieved that goal. For all this things that is offered to us now and for every opportunity to make a better world in the near future, I am thankful and grateful of it.

 

God bless you all! Have a nice day…c”,)
