#OTWOLDiaries: Love is NEVER easy

I think I'll officially name my #OTWOL posts as #OTWOLDiaries, any suggestions?

...

So I missed the episode last night.  I went to dinner with my mom and brother. You see, he's getting married today and the night before I got married six years ago, we had dinner too.  It was a fun dinner with just the three of us.

I came home late because the traffic was bad.  I kissed my kids good night.  Fixed a few loose ends, packed and prepared for a long day tomorrow.

Then, I opened my laptop, typed in the website of where my mom watches the previous day's Kapamilya episodes.  And while waiting for the episode to load - I looked at my friend Grech's Twitter feed.  I saw the words - OUCH.  I got scared.  And then the episode loaded.

I just finished it.

I cried.

















The scene where Leah was sitting on the stairs (after she walked out on Tatang Sol singing).  She and Clark were talking about love.  It was then that I realized that - Love is NEVER easy.

I think I cried because I knew what Leah felt.  The doubt - I've been there.  It eats you up.  The negativity?  When it starts - it never ends.  Your looking glass suddenly shatters - well, it's so hard to put the pieces back together.  In fact, you can never put it back together.

So, I just want to say - to my brother and my sister in law Annlee.

Love is NEVER easy - but it finds a way.  It may take a short time for others, and a forever for others - but it finds a way, eventually.

I used to sarcastically laugh when I am told to *Remember why you fell in love in the first place!*  Since my heart was angry - all I could think of was * I was a fool then to believe!  Hahaha.. But it's true - try and remember why and how you fell in love with one another.  Look at me, I had to realize it while watching On the Wings of Love #OTWOL - silly diba?  But it hit a nerve, it sparked a once forgotten feeling.  And now - I'm learning again.

Today, as you both take a step to your FOREVER.  I truly, from the bottom of my heart wish you all the best.  I love you both very much and I don't think I can say this in person because I will just cry - so here nalang.  (Alam niyo naman na iyakin ako diba?)

Love each other.
Respect each other.
Forgive each other.

Love is not perfect, but it can be - if you make it perfect in your world.

Love is never easy, if it was then the world would be a much better place.  But it's not easy for a reason.  It's not easy because it will bring out the best and worst in you.  Take in the best, cultivate it.  Take out the worst and learn from it.

Love is never easy - but who cares?!

Love is love.

It makes the world go round.  And round.  And round.

LOVE is a wonderful thing.

Best wishes you two!!

Sana maging kasing *In Love* kayo ni Leah and Clark nung nasa San Francisco pa sila.  Nung hindi pa nakikita ni Leah si Nanang.  Iba pa ang LOVE sa kanya before that scene.  Hahaha!!

Congratulations, guys!!

Breastfeeding Mama!

"Welcome to the Milk Mama Diaries Carnival (July). For this month, we join the National Nutrition Council - Department of Health in celebrating Nutrition Month with the theme "Isulong ang Breastfeeding - Tama, Sapat at EKsklusibo!" Participants will share their experiences in promoting breastfeeding or their tips on how breastfeeding should be promoted. Please scroll down to the end of this post and check out the other carnival participants." When I got pregnant, I knew instantly that I would be breastfeeding my baby.  My mom found it odd that I decided to breastfeed - this was because I grew up formula fed.  My twin brother and I were given formula since birth, there was no attempt whatsoever to breastfeed.  In fact my mom recounted that she was given medicine to stop the milk production.  My pedia, Dr. Joy Ty-Sy said that during my mom's time (when she had us) it was the boom of formulas, that it was the trend that time.  I grew up with formula, my c

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't think I can w
