For Real?

They say that diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Really? Here in the Philippines, majority of the women here do not get diamonds. Honestly, it would be really nice to have them. Who would not want to have diamond jewelry.

But one can’t be too demanding. And if your lover or husband could not afford them, it doesn’t mean that he loves you any less. After all, diamonds are just material things. Somehow, however, a girl just likes them. Maybe eventually, I can afford to buy some, even just a set. Then in the future, I will also pass it on to my daughter Micah.

Jewish Gifts for Hanukkah

I have always been interested with the Jewish culture. I am even thinking that instead of giving my eldest daughter Micah a debut when she turns 18, I am considering blessing her and throwing her a grown up party on her 13th birthday, much like the Bat Mitzvah.

Another one that I like is their Hanukkah, or the Festival of Lights, which lasts for eight days. A special candle holder that contains 9 candles is lighted during the celebration. One candle is lighted for every day of the celebration. And of course, this celebration is not complete without Jewish gifts for Hanukkah. These are lovely items for every one in the family.

Cold Nights Are Here

Rainy days are here and we are expecting a cold weather, especially during night time. Actually, I am starting to feel the chill in the wee hours of the night and I just have to wear my sweaters. I also put out some for my children to wear during these times.

I just can’t imagine how really cold it can be when you are in other countries where it is snowing. I’m sure the chimneys will start to smoke and thick blankets are out, too, to make the night warmer. I guess some of them have bought this electric blanket where they can plug it to make them as warm as they please. This is something that I want to experience, too – using the electric blanket.

Want My Kids to Have One!

I was browsing from an online toy shop when I saw these big toys called power wheels. As you can see in the photo below, they are indeed power wheels because the children that play with them can really ride on top and drive it.

As a mom, I really want my children to have one like this. I am sure my children will have a great time riding and driving their own power wheels at our neighborhood. Anyway, I just hope they are available here in our place. :)

Depression

For the past few years, I have been very depressed by the situation my husband and I had. We always fight about the past and about his vices which is drinking and not going home. We were constantly arguing almost every week because of this.

When I was pregnant, I was more pressured that sometimes I hoped that I would undergo a rigid treatment for depression because I no longer inspired to blog, to eat and to do things. I just wanted for time to stop.

But praise to God, I was able to overcome these things. God is good to make me realize the grace and blessings He has given me. He is goo all the time.

Anyway, I still feel depress at times but I just think of God’s goodness and my children, then I find myself back on the track!
