Bad day

A bad childhood

New interest

Lumban, Laguna

I have browsed a variety of bikes and I asked my boyfriend to buy me a ride.

It was already afternoon when my boyfriend noticed that I'm looking for a bike and he suggested a brand which is Trinx.
(We were hugging each other that time as we just finished our intimate activity, take chances while the baby sleeps)

I have seen Foxter as a good bike as it has good reviews but I don't think mountain bike is for me. I prefer road bike because I think it would suit my biking skills.

I already know how to ride a bike and maintaining my balance but it freaks me out and brings shivers to my nerves if I am taking a downhill road. I also hate sharp curves though.

I remembered when I was still in my province, Marinduque, my sister and I went out for a morning cardio. I borrowed her bike and as I went through, I fell in a canal full of dried leaves. It was painful but my sister just laughed out loud.

She could have taken a photo of me if only she brought her phone.

TGISaturday

Lumban, Laguna

I no longer have the excitement whenever Fridays and weekends approach unlike when I was still in school, these are the days I look forward to..

Saturdays are just an ordinary day for me unless I have a schedule day out with my friends or with my boyfriend.

Immunization day of RC

21:15

Hello 😊

I just feel so tired today.

I am all alone since 8:00AM this morning (and I love it.)
Rina went to Manila to apply for her first job. Welcome to the real world. She left around 4AM. It would only take her 2 hours to reach her destination.

My boyfriend has a 16 hours duty so he will be arriving home shortly around 12:30AM

It's just the two of us.

I felt like living in Manila where I used to take charge of my needs like preparing my food, taking care of the baby and everything!

What's really special about today is that I was able to fix stuff like putting things to its original place, preparing my food (Rina is usually the one who prepares our food and I will be the dishwasher) and something that makes me really proud is that I did the laundry all by myself.

This window has been the clothes drying area ever since.
As for me, it shouldn't be for aesthetic reasons.
Respect anyway

It was a Herculean task indeed. Your multi tasking skills must be excellent.

I started with whites. It's I think 25% of the entire load. Good thing there is a washing machine but I don't think it justifies its name. It's not working efficiently but still it has to be utilized for the meantime (hopefully we could buy a new one)

I heard the baby cry. Well, I placed her in her pink baby ride (stroller) and just doing the final wash to remove the soapy residue.

I looked like dumb hahaha

While getting it done, I played with my baby just not to make her fussy.

The baby was already sleepy and fell into a deep slumber.

I took the chance to have a 10 minute shower, prepare my meal and continue doing the laundry.

Anyway, my mother called me to check how am I doing or if her daughter is still alive 😂

She calls very seldom lately since I already have a family on my own. She seemed to be complacent because I am already in good hands. I am no longer take part of her worries because she knows that my boyfriend takes care of us.

That's all for today.

Time check: 22:20 and I just opened the door for Rina.
My baby is still sleeping. And I feel so sleepy now.

Good night.

LUPI 2018: VIVA SAN SEBASTIAN!!!

Lumban, Laguna

I was awakened by the sound of drum and lyre outside 7:00AM.

As I looked out, it was only a sound system which has a recorded music of drum and lyre. (I was quite disappointed but quick to moved on.)

We did not get a chance to watch the pilgrims in boats along the river because we have a little girl to be taken care of.

Everyone is wet as they will be splashed with water using pail or water guns.

Before, even the people who ride in the jeepney along the highway is not exemted not to.be splashed with water. They would just put down the plastic cover to keep themselves dry whenever they pass the town of Lumban. But now, splashing of water in the highway is prohibited. Fair enough.

I was no longer hoping that I would be experiencing the fun of my first LUPI because of my baby. She really needs to be looked after but God is really good. She let my baby sleep for 3 hours with no wakes.

My boyfriend asked me to come with him outside. I was really hesistant at first for two reasons: 1. The baby and; 2. I got my menstrual period (oops!)
Later on, I have decided to go out to see to myself how the fun rocks. As we had our few steps out, we were splashed with water by my boyfriend's neighbor named Frank (he was his co-worker.when he was still working at NGCP.)

It was already afternoon that time so there were no boats with pilgrims along the river but there was a parade. We just settled watching it. The traffic was already building up caused by the parade. It's no longer unusual during that festival.

We felt chills as the air blew towards us that made us shiver a bit.

We rushed home to check amd listen for a crying baby.
Negative. That's great. Tuloy ang saya.
As we went out, we were pulled by one of the momshies in the neighbourhood.
It was an adult parlor game we participated.

It was like a Trip to Jerusalem but this time, with an eggplant. The girls will be around the men sittinng with eggplants between their legs. While the music plays, the girls need to move around the men and when the music stops, they need to hold the eggplant.

We did not win of course.
Oh wait! We took home the eggplant.

We participated another parlor game. It's egg catching game.
Well, you just have to catch the egg and you get farther with tour partner making it more challenging to catch the egg without breaking.

We lost but we had fun.
What's really important is that all of us enjoyed it.

We already went home and change our soaked printed shirt.

We just watch the men dancing in the improvised hall.

When my daughter grows up, she wouldn't want to miss the event. But now, she won't appreciate the event that much as what she wants is my milk.

I have uploaded photos and videos taken by yours truly.

Rebound relationships

Lumban, Laguna

09:13PM

Do you find it easy to trust after being cheated on and lied to by the ones who you expected to be true to you?

I guess it's not.

Is it easy to trust the same person who did wrong to you by lies and keeping things from you?

Neither.

Why do you have to cheat and lie to the person if you love her?

Why?

For my thoughts, YOU DON'T HURT THE PERSON YOU LOVE BY CHEATING AND DISHONESTY.

It traumatizes a woman after all the pain from dishonesty and disloyalty. You make it hard for her to trust people even to the people who really has genuine intentions. You make her build walls to the people.

It is indeed unfair to the one you love who devotes her precious time and the love she gives to you more than you deserve and just hurt her with your lies and bullshit reasons.

Come to think of this one...

She let you come to her world but you don't have an idea what she was before you came.
Pained.
Damaged.
Broken.

She let herself healed for three years and already an ample time to be at her best version for the next and hopefully the last man she will love.

But then you came. You promised her to love her and you even told her that you've been loyal but you never tell her that you could be loyal much as you had been in the past.

Yes indeed you WERE loyal. How come your loyalty did not apply to your present love.

Oh.. Wait!

How come enter to a new relationship if you are still broken and still in the process of healing?

Funny as it seems. Worst joke I ever known. A very loyal woman to a broken-hearted man pretending to be healed and ready to start anew with his new woman?
Ironic, isn't it?

This woman doesn't deserve to be a spare tire, an option B if the primary doesn't work and most likely to be a rebound.

Remember, there is someone out there who is far more deserving to her but she chose you even if she doesn't deserve a man like you.

Imagine how that woman will love a less-deserving man who cheats and lies.

Trust is like a glass, once it's broken, you can put it together but you can never put it back to it's original form.

For the last words,

Never ever cheat to your woman.
When you enter to a new relationship, make sure you have already vanished the traces of your past and don't even dare to step backwards into it as it may damage your future relationship.

☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

Anong ganap pala today? Hehehe ayun so for my daily life, everything went fine naman. So far wala pa kaming pag aaway ni boyfriend. Upon going home from work, I just heard slight noises in the background. He was getting a blanket because he can't share bed with me. We just went to a bad fight yesterday for the same shit. A few minutes after he went down, I felt my stomach in a slight pain which is nangangasim. I went downstairs to look for milk. I ended up preparing a warm water until he noticed me in pain. He asked me, "anong masakit sayo?" I just said my stomach.
He wore his cap and went out and bought me a sterilized milk from a store nearby.
It was in can and he transferred it to a mug and handed it over. I can't even say thank you. Pride of course. I felt relieved thereafter. After that, my childish personality kicked in. I told him I want to stay outside but he stopped me. I resisted. He pulled me closer to him and hugged me, "dito ka lang".
Then we went upstairs.

Immaturity

Lumban, Laguna
14:24

Age is no guarantee of maturity.

It doesn't always come with age. In fact it's deeper than age. It's about the way you see and understand things. The way you consider others. The way you communicate. The way you react.  The things you value. The things you entertain. The way you represent yourself as an ADULT.
Everyone grows old,  but not everyone is growing up.

At my age of 22, I can't say that I am already at my fullest bloom. I admit that I am indeed immature at some aspects.

I get mad very easily. All of the things happening around me will never pass without reaction from me. I take seriously even the smallest issue that doesn't really matter at all.

What about immaturity in relationship? Yes.

I am in a relationship with a 27-year old guy and I am more of his baby girl than his girlfriend.
In what ways?
When he talks about a lady then I get jealous, he would kiss me and say, I'm the best and the one he loves.
I would get mad if he misses to bid his good night or good morning messages, I would not text him or talk to him the whole day.
I become too selfish and clingy to my boyfriend and refraining him to do his hobbies like riding a bike. My attitude makes me forget that my boyfriend has a life to live too. I don't give him space. He has given me enough time and attention but I become too obsessed with him by wanting him just beside me all the time.
He is also having a hard time asking permission from me if he could go with his friends for a drinking session. I would be a nagger and ask him too many questions but still a YES in the end.
Whenever we have a lovers' quarrel, even if it's my fault, I would not say sorry but for him to end that fight, he'll be the one to apologise.
My nonsense tantrums is very childish of course. Whenever I want something but he refused to grant me, I would make face to him and not talk to him up to three days. I would block him in messenger and in phone

These are just some of my immaturity aspects when it comes to relationships.

Double celebration: 28 months of love and RC at 5 months old

Lumban, Laguna
19:33

There is so much to celebrate on this day.
💎 My daughter RC at her 5th month.
💎 28 months of love

Let me share to you how our day went.

Let's talk about my daughter's 5th month celebration. We just had a "salo-salo" or eating together. My boyfriend bought a round chocolate cake in goldilocks in Pagsanjan  adjacent town of Lumban (where we currently stay). He also bought pancit canton and bihon.

I don't have the pictures of pancit canton and bihon hahaha 😂
We had guests too.  Mariz came over as she was picked up by Rina (boyfriend's sister) in her house living nearby. Kenri is also part of the celebration. They are the new generation babies.

Babies in their cute and girly pink headbands. Mariz made fun of her son and made him wear Celine's headband. He's pretty if she were a girl. 

This is the first time that my baby would spend her monthly birth celebration with guests of course.

My boyfriend's family have been asking us about her Baptismal and we planned to held it in Manila in March this year. They would even ask a follow up question which is the wedding. 2024 will surely be our Church wedding ceremony but we have plans of having a civil wedding.

We had so. Much fun as it was supposed to be.
My little girl is growing up too fast and I would like to watch her grow and cherish every precious  moment with her.



❤️❤️❤️

28 months of love

We were both in love since September 8, 2015 and we are now on our 28th month today.

We did not start our day right. He did not even greet me on n this day. I don't treat him like my boyfriend. Just casual. When he got home, he sent me a text message even if we are just right in front of each other.

I was like, Ano kaya yun? Then I went upstairs like what it reads and saw this:

What's inside?

A card and my favorite chocolates ❤️❤️❤️

Hallmark card message from babe

I was caught off guard. I was touched and felt very loved that time. I was even surprised! He don't surprise me a lot but this time he did.
What made me even surprised is that he gave me a card and I cried a bit when I read the message inside. After 2 years and 4 months of being together, this is the very first time I received such.
I appreciate this kind of gifts over material things. Simple yet meaningful.

I kissed him when I went down and greeted him.

I have already posted this one on my Instagram account. 

Marriage

Red string of fate

Lumban, Laguna 

23:15

“An invisible thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, and circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle. But it will never break.” – Ancient Chinese Proverb.

The invisible thread between two people if they are meant to be together.

“Have you ever met someone for the first time, but in your heart you feel as if you have met them before?”~ Joanne Kenrick, When a Mullo Loves a Woman

I definitely relate to this ancient Chinese proverb. 

I went to a two failed relationship for consecutive year. Having 
My heart broken won't make me stop loving someone because I know tgat I was getting closer to the right one. 

I knew to myself that I had been a perfect girlfriend. 

My present boyfriend with whom I have a daughter went to a 6-year relationship 16 months before we labelled it officially. He was very down to his breakup but he didn't even think that she's not the right one. He should have thought that I was the one whom his mother sent when she passed away. Too bad. We did not even meet. I bet she would be glad seeing how beautiful her granddaughter is.

Now, we are in our 2 year relationship, turning 28 months on the 8th of January to be exact.

Being with him makes a big difference. He makes me feel home. There is a part of me that has been longing for him that only my heart could explain. 

After two failed relationship, an almost a relationship, and a number of flings... 
I can say that he's the one. The one whose the other end oh his red string is tied in his pinky finger connected to mine
❤️

What's in store for me this year?

Lumban, Laguna
23:24

I have been planning about having a much better and organised activities which require a lot of time, discipline and dedication.

First thing is to earn money. But how? Am I going to go back to my previous work where I need to sacrifice a lot of my TIME including one hour in the road due to moderate traffic, 9 hours in the office and another 1 hour commuting back home.

I won't be having about second thoughts. It's a NO.

My daughter needs me. My daughter needs the kind of love and care that a nanny could never give.
I can afford to pay a babysitter but I can't imagine leaving home and all I think about is if my baby is being taken care of? Does the nanny has a long patience when my baby starts to have tantrums and avoid hurting her? Do you think I can concentrate at work having these horrible thoughts in my mind?

So I have already made up my mind. I need to file an immediate resignation.

I have been on my maternity leave since the third week of July and I was only given until October 16 and I need to report in the office. My boss gave me another months of extending my leave. My unpaid leave until January 16 this year. My boss sent me a message if I can still go back to work and I replied her with a no. She would get back to me to talk about the details when I can file my resignation.

I still have money to be received.
*the second half of my SSS Maternity benefit
*back pay

I will be using that money to start my freelance work which is being a virtual assistant or an English tutor but I prefer being the former. Virtual assistant job is a high paying job as you will be paid in dollars and with a minimum of $3/hr rate. Unlike local or office based companies, freelancing has no contribution like SSS, PAG-IBIG and PhilHealth unless you pay those voluntarily.

My second plan would be savings. I need to earn money from my job

Product review : eRAse Solution

So I'm going to write my first ever product review and I hope this helps to those who want to try this out.
Erase Solution is recommended to ERASE those skin imperfections like scars, pimples, freckles, wrinkles, stretch marks, and dark elbows and knees as it reads on the packaging.
I have been using this product for 4 days now on my tummy area where I have stretch marks due to pregnancy to my first child now turning 5 months old on January 8, 2018.

Here is the other side of the packaging where it reads how the product works pr mainly the description, ingredients, indication, direction for use, precaution and warning.

As for the precaution, it's not recommended for pregnant women as it contains chemicals that may be harmful and may cause problem later on.

I am a breastfeeding mom and there is no negative side effects so breastfeeding mothers can use the product.

I have a belly button piercing and it no longer looks good.

The right side of my tummy

My stretchies look like white worms

Here is my target area. Tummy.
I use the product twice daily after I take a bath in the morning and before I sleep at night.
It's a roll on bottle so it's very much easier to apply thinly.
It smells like a perfume.
After my application, it's quick drying though it has a very slight oily consistency but it deeply penetrates the skin. I would leave it for a few minutes before I can finally wear clothes.
I have no idea yet when can I see the results if it's really effective as the name itself reads.

After a month or up to three months with consistent twice - a-day- use, I will be posting about the results.

For my overall review...

Quality ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fragrance ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Effectiveness ⭐⭐⭐ (I will be adding a star or two after 3 months)
Price: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ affordable at 99 pesos in Mercury drug

I will be posting another product reviews soon!
Good night fellas!

Being a full time mother

Lumban, Laguna
22:40

When you become a mother, your life will change and so is your lifestyle.
Way back when I was in Manila, I am a full time mother but the difference is I take care of my child ALONE. I can only get a substitute if my boyfriend goes to Manila to spend his rest days with us. That is the only time I can get to clean our home but when its time for my boyfriend to go home, it's gonna be a back to normal routine where I need to take care of Celine all by myself hahaha.

So how's the life of a full time mom who take care of her child all alone?
Well, personally it's really difficult but you'll get used to it as time goes by.
In the morning around 7:30 to 8:30 that is the time that I wake up first. It's very unusual that my baby who wakes up first. I'll get to latch her first and when she's done, it's time for me to est my breakfast. Just the quick one to prepare. It could either be a just add hot water oatmeal or a cereals. There is a time that I'm in the middle of my meal then suddenly my baby cries. I have no choice but to pick her up and take her downstairs. So I would just stand up while eating otherwise she'll begin to get irritated.

After my breakfast, it's time for my baby to take a warm bath. This is very challenging because of her silky smooth skin that would make her slip off from my arms so I am focused whenever she takes a bath making sure of her safety.

I get to take her out whenever I buy my viand or ulam which is bought from a neighborhood nearby.

It's milk time again. So how is it?
For me to make sure that she'll fall asleep, she latches in lying position.

When she's already in her deep sleep, I can now rush to the bathroom to take my quick shower.
It's already a big bonus when I can get to do some of my beauty project routine like applying toner, exfoliate my skin, and that after bath mask.

Lunch time. I cook brown rice which is good for two meals. Lunch and dinner but sometimes i cook rice just for lunch only.

At just the right timing, my baby cries. I could just wash the dishes later when she sleeps.

So here goes my favorite time of the day.
Sleeping time.
It's very convenient to be a breastfeeding mom. I no longer have to get up and prepare her milk. I would just let ger latch and we can go back to sleep. No more waking hours for us!

So that's it!
I still have so much more to improve. I learned the art of multitasking because of Celine but what's really important is the strong bond between us ❤️

Tomorrow I will be posting a blog about the adjustments of living in with a partner.
.......... .........  .........

Let me share to you about our day well spent.
Well, it was a great day. My boyfriend had his work time by 8:00AM to 5:00PM and upon going home, his cousin, Mariz (she's already a mom too!) asked if we could join them for dinner. So it's a yes.  Why not? Take chances of course. We went to Hana Japanese Restaurant in Pagsanjan. The food is great. I ordered Yakiniku ramen and if I were to rate it, that would be 5 stars. So our family, my daughter and boyfriend with Mariz, ate Niña (also his cousin) and her daughter Noe, Rina (my boyfriend's sister), Roilan (his cousin) and girlfriend Maureen. Upon going home, we drove to Mariz's place for a wine night. You can check my instagram account for story hahaha and don't forget to follow me. https://www.instagram.com/misscharlenejc/

Happy birthday to my brother, Charles Joshua.

Happiness at its finest

Lumban, Laguna
23:33

As of this writing, I have already put my baby in sleep. I just have this slight headache so it's still manageable.
Just me and my little queen while my future sister-in-law is in the other room.
My boyfriend is out for his late night drinking session with his friends since high school.

I don't want to be strict to him. He must be privileged to have his own time away from us, his own space besides he works hard for his family so why not allowing him to have some fun.
I am only his girlfriend so I can't stop him to such activities which in fact sounds like as if I am already his wife. If I am a nagger when I'm just a girlfriend, how much more if we are already married? It's very unhealthy and a toxic relationship.
I know some girls who don't allow their boyfriends or husbands to hang out with their friends.
It's immaturity.

Let me put it this way. It's not that I trust too much.
In fact I just don't trust him fully from the time I have found out what he did to me.
Ifhe had done something wrong, it's up to hi. It's not my problem anymore.
He has his own life that he has to live. Being with his friends is some sort of a different happiness and he needs social life as well.
His happiness is my happiness too.


But what really melts my heart?
It's seeing my child happy. Those giggles and laughter? I can't even quantify that even to the most expensive fancy things.

365 of 365 Last day of the year 2017

Lumban, Laguna

Just a simple celebration with my family. My daughter is already fast asleep. She doesn't mind the noise at all.
My boyfriend just had an intimate time with each other, some sort of a final shot for this year. Hahaha
I'll be updating this post later so my boyfriend, Rj together with our sleeping child, Celine will get to enjoy the fireworks outside.
Happy new year



❤️❤️❤️


Lumban, Laguna
23:10

As of this writing, I am just right here in our room. My daughter has been sleeping at 10pm which is quite earlier than usual at 12 midnight. I am waiting for my boyfriend to come home from his overtime work in few minutes from now.

This would be my first post for this year and I hope that I can make a habit to post everyday about my life, experiences, being a house girlfriend (hahaha I couldn't say housewife because we're not married though), being a mother, about health and beauty. This time, I want to add some reviews about the products that I use for me and my baby.

So last year was a good one.
Let me share to you the highlights of my 2017.

🌼Discovering pregnancy
As I remember, we only found out that I was pregnant on the third day of January last year.
When we found out that I was pregnant, we were both happy and excited because our love bear its fruit and we will be entering the new phase of our lives by being a good parent to our child.

🌼 Welcome Riannejade Celine
Three days earlier on my due date, I was already in labor. I gave birth to my daughter last 8th of August last year. I was very afraid that I might go on labor when my boyfriend isn't around. I was in Manila that time while he was here in Laguna for his duty. My labor started at 6AM when I started to feel cramps in my hips. It made me wake up. I was about to deliver my baby in the UST Hospital but unfortunately, I encountered a problem with my attending OB-Gyne that made me choose Chinese General Hospital and Medical Center instead.  We arrived with my cervix dilated at 7cm! And I still managed to walk hahaha. It was much more convenient to us because it is just a 3 minute drive away from home. 10 hours of labor and finally my baby was out at 4:40PM.

🌼2nd Anniversary
It was our second anniversary last September 8. It was full of love. It was also a double celebration for us because it was the second month of our love child.
My boyfriend gave me a bouquet of flowers on that day.

🌼Birthday
It was my birthday last November 8. We just stayed at home and just cooked food. I just don't feel spending my birthday outside our home as it would be very inconvenient for us.

🌼Holiday
Well, our holiday started last December 16 and that was the day that we left Manila for holidays.
We went to Acacia hotel to attend my boyfriend's company Christmas party. It was very enjoyable and after the party we stayed in a suite where there is a connecting door where Tito Boyet's family stayed. No intimate moment for us as it would wake the people from the other room so just let it be anyway.
The next day it was the time to leave Manila. It was my daughter's first long trip.
Since then, there was no single day where the rain would stop. That's fine with me. I don't want to go out anyway.

Now we're done with the highlights of my last year.

What about new years resolution?
I just don't mind of having.


Well, from my daughter Celine, boyfriend Rj and yours truly...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
CHEERS!
