Happy New Year everyone!
How’s your Christmas and New Year? Bitin ba? Ikr kasi same tayo.
😊 I wish I can extend my vacation
so I can spend more time with the kiddos. Medyo di ko nasulit long vacation
namin since Rhian and I got sick during holiday break and that feeling is one
of the worsts feeling I had so far and ayoko ng maulit ulit.
Anyway, during the times when I’m at bed (not feeling well
because of the flu) I think of the things that happened to me/us for 2018 and
to my surprised 2018 is one of the best years ever for my little family. We
received lot of blessings, there are lots of “first” happened to us and there
are less problems that we encountered. Thank you, Lord!
So let me share you how beautiful our life last year.
January
To start the year, my husband and I decided to visit Enchanted Kingdom with our little family.
We were able to watch Disney on Ice with the kiddos during my
birthday celebration. This is one of my kids dream, to watch their favorite
Disney characters up close and personal. Though, we were seated at lower box,
the view is still amazing.
We also celebrated Rhian's 4th Birthday at the hotel. You all know that we really love staycations. :)

February
This is one of the memorable months for us, because we finally got the keys for our #TeamVillarealHome. Yes! Nakapag turn-over narin kami!
One of the romantic and unique dates we had as we joined the
group date at Century Mall. We also participate in their contest and won
overnight stay in one of their properties. Knowing us, Ian and I really value
our marriage as we make sure to spend time together just the two of us remember
our #MarriageFirstFriday, we still do it until now and promise to continue it forever.
(Gumaganon pa asawa ko, naniniwala talaga sya sa Forever. Haha)
March
March is one of my favorite months because of two major things
happened in this month. First, I won in the biggest loser contest here in
office with grand prize of Php 13,500 which I used to purchase things needed for
our new home. Second, we finally moved-in to our new home. Yes! After 30 months
of hard work, sacrifices and with the Grace and Glory of our Almighty Father,
we are now finally #HomeOwners and we are so excited building our#ProjectHappyHome. Welcome to #TeamVillarealHome.
Another milestone for Rhian, as she graduated from Child Development Services Section. Though sa Barangay lang sya, we consider this as her another achievement.
My parents together with my sister and her daughter, Ashley spend the Holy Week at #TeamVillarealHome. I’m so happy because we were able to enjoy the facilities and I got some quality time with my parents. They are happy for us because finally we have our own home. Hindi kaya biro ang kumuha ng sariling bahay at the same paying car and house loans.
Another milestone for Rhian as she joins the Mc Donalds’ KiddieCrew near our place. I’m so happy because our daughter enjoyed the activities. Medyo
sya parin sya but at least improving.
May
My husband and I enrolled our children in big school near our
home. This is another milestone for our kids as they are now entering the proper
schooling. Rhian is now Senior Nursery while Rhaine is Junior Nursery. I know
mahaba haba pa ang pagdadaanan nila and we are not rushing nor forcing them to get
high grades as we want them to enjoy the new environment and be more sociable.
High grades are just a bonus.
June
As first time parents, we are so excited to witness another milestone of our kids and yun yung 1st day nila sa school nila. Read more about this precious moment here.
July
Last July 24, my husband and I celebrated our 12 years of togetherness and 6th wedding anniversary. Our initial plan is to
have out of town just the two of us, but since I have board meetings to assist
on the day of our anniversary, I have no choice but to cancel my leave
application. So, we opted to celebrate it in a very simple way, buffet dinner
at Makati Shangri-la.
August
August is one of my
favorite months aside from January and July. Why? Because this month my husband
and our bunso are celebrating their birthday. Rhaine turned 3 last Aug 20 and
we celebrated her birthday at the clubhouse. We booked the AVR and invited some
of our closest relatives and friends to be with us her special day.
This month, we also got
the chance to crossed out another family bucketlist – visit to KIDZANIA. My
husband decided to visit this place as he knows that our kids would love it. Di
nga kami nagkamali, nag enjoy ng bongga ang mga bagets. Click here for my
review about our experience in Kidzania.
Another milestone for our
kids as they joined the Linggo ng Wika dance number. Yung Makita mo ang mga
anak mo na nasa stage at nag pe-perform, iba pala talaga pakiramda.
Nakakaproud!
In this month marks another
milestone for our children as they experienced their first field trip activity and
guess what, we joined in their field trip kaya parang naging family day out ang
nangyari. Makakapagod pero masaya.
October
More food trips with my
husband and my little family happened on this month. Ang hilig namin kumain sa
labas after hearing mass, no need for expensive restaurant what matter most is
that kumpleto kami and happy ang kids ko.
November
More food trips on this
month again and more parties at #TeamVillarealHome. We welcomed some of our relatives
and friends to visit our place kasi kahit sila happy for us that we have our
own home plus the fact na maganda talaga yung place and nakaka relax kaya gustong
gusto nilang mag visit.
December
This is the first time we’re
celebrating Christmas at #TeamVillarealHome and I’m so happy that my family
join us for midnight mass and Noche Buena. We had our traditional “Monito,
Monita” and exchange gifts and unlimited photo session.
Though before Christmas,
our dear Rhian got sick so we rushed her at Makati Med ER for check-up. Good
thing her condition got stable before year ends.
Oh by the way, this year
also we decided not to get another helper as our kids are starting to become
independent. Well, our Yaya Van left us before Rhaine’s birthday last August to
pursue her career. Mahirap na wala kang helper but thank God we still have our
Tita Grace to take care of our kids.
So that’s it, there are
so many reasons to thank God as we received so much blessings last 2018. Now
are looking forward for more good things this 2019. I know we still have lots
of challenges and hitches to deal with but we believe that as long as we put
God in center of our life, we can surpass it. Thank you 2018 for everything, we
are so ready for you 2019! Bring it on!
