I really missed her company. We’re partners in crime before while we’re still in Pinas. She was active in blogging, now it seemed like fading. But I know, she will be back in due time. With her upcoming return, for sure they’ll be no more temporary goodbyes. Right dear?
Happy Birthday Samantha Dear.

She is Princess Pairat, 22 years old, single mom. She’s my cousin. I was shock with the news that she gave birth and her boyfriend totally abandoned her. She is raised with a single mother working in a knitting factory but no clear income. Her mother has a big goiter (thyroid on the neck). I’m trying to save money for her operation but it’s not easy because I am a family woman with three kids and we are not rich. We just settled her in Australia and affected with global recession.

Princess tried her best to have a good future. Staying from one relative to another but it seems things are not on her side. She all the time don’t get a good treatment. She felt in love with a man who helped her, support her but used her in exchange. Sorry for my words but this is what I think. They were good in the beginning. They helped each other and even studied in one University. University of Cebu. The guy was nursing and Princess get a tourism course. I don’t know how she survived for a year. The man is like her world at that time. She gave everything. Princess never grow with the love of a father. Her parents separated when she was still a baby and now has another family but also don’t have a good life.  She got supported in small ways by her family including me. The rest  from his beloved man.

Until time came that she got pregnant. Problem started to arise between their good relationship. I forgot to mention that their love was against all odds. Her man’s parents as well as other relatives don’t like her so they were hiding their relationships. His parents will pull him out from the school if they find out that they’re still together. He can’t fight for Princess so he hide her to continue to study and get allowance. Princess has a part-time job while she’s studying. In short, working student. The name of his boyfriend is RC. I want to condemn this guy for his cowardliness in times that he needed much but it’s not in my hands to condemn. Sorry for my words. He wanted his son to be aborted or else he will abandon them both. He was scared because his parents might abandon him and stopped sending him to school. My cousin had a second thought and asked our opinions. Of course we don’t want her to kill such innocent child. She decided to pursue the baby and her boyfriend totally left her with nothing but heartache.

With her whole nine months of pregnancy, she kept on transferring from one relative to another again until end up with her mother. She can’t take anymore how people look at her and accusing her, blaming her etc2x instead of supporting her. She traveled when she’s seven months pregnant from Bohol to Manila Philippines through trucking. She lived with her mother in the factory where she worked and paid P100 per night or 5 dollars US currency. It’s a big money for my aunt because she didn’t earn much and her work is not regular. They don’t even have savings for the her delivery. Yeah what a hard life.

Last week, they traveled to Batangas Province to stay with her brother until she gave birth and she’s already on due. She has two brothers who were all married. Unfortunately don’t have a good life too. She can’t give birth in the small room on the factory. I saw the place and yeah it’s impossible plus they have to pay per head each night. When they arrived at Batangas Phillipines, she started to feel pain. Maybe because of traveling far with her situation was not really good. So they called a midwife. She was supposed to give birth just at home but the danger of giving a first birth is unavoidable. The baby didn’t came out at expected time and she was already so weak and the baby as well. The rushed her to the nearest hospital. Because of all the tensions, they didn’t even think it was a private hospital. She can’t have a normal labor because the baby’s head already swell. Doctors at Madonna General Hospital did an immediate CS Delivery for their safety which charged them all in all P45,000.00 or more than $2000. What big money for people who didn’t even have a savings. The important is the baby and Princess is safe now. Baby’s name is Prince Philly. We contributed money to help them but money raised was not enough. They only raised P12,000.00 or $500+. They still need P22,000.00 or $1000+. They can’t be released in the hospital until they’ll be able to settle their bills. They were supposed to be released the other day. The more they stay long at the hospital, the more their bills goes up. The father of the baby didn’t even care and now denied the baby was his. Only God knows with this kind of people.

I want to extend my help just for them to be released at the Madonna General Hospital, 153 Antorcha St. Balayan Batangas Philippines. Tel. No 043-9122422. But I don’t know how?

This post is for all the friends, visitors and commentators who greeted me on my birthday. I thought my day would be empty and quite since it’s the last day of the weekdays here. When I woke up, hubby and kids greeted me before a kiss and hug. Oh well I already posted the happenings on my natal day exactly.

Saturday night was the birthday celebration. We invited close friends but no relatives since we don’t have any relatives living near us. My honey invited some Filipino close friends too. There were 8 families in total and all has children. Hubby prepared or cooked almost all the foods for the night. He was the one insisted to have a party for me. He was busy since Friday preparing everything and busy almost whole day of Saturday. I helped him in some way like marinating the special fried chicken. I also made Maja Blanca desert. Hubby really loves to cook. He cooked beef stew which my Russian friend like so much. Very tasty macaroni salad. His first try for the dish was perfect. Filipino style spaghetti. Some friends brought deserts like sticky rice (biko), cassava cake, chocolate fudge and two dish which are pancit and marinara. We had fun that night even our kids with my friends kids. We had 12 twelve kids all in all. I was prepared for the kids. I prepared one room for them to play Wii, computer and many toys. It was very effective way of keeping the kids busy while parents are chatting, singing-along, eating and having a toast. My friends insisted me to blow my cake, I was ashamed to do in front of many but still I did. Two of my foreign friends said something very overwhelming and give a toast for me.  Yeah I gain and blessed with very good foreign friends.

We had vodka cruiser drinks for girls and red/white wine for anyone who likes. Some beers also. People don’t drink too much hard because most of them are driving home with kids. The party ended quarter past ten and we’re so tired.I was little bit groggy. I was still able to chat my bestfriend Sam not knowing she posted about me in her blog to commemorate my natal day. I love you dear Sam, thank you very much. You’re the light that never dim in my life.

I never expect any presents from my visitors but I’m not the one holding their minds. I still got goodies and I felt like a kid having a kiddie party lol. Very much appreciated most especially their presence that made my celebration memorable.  All friends that we invited were there. It was the first not so quite big party that we hosted  for my day. I owe my honey a lot for the success of the celebration.

Thank you very much to the ff. who extend their greetings and wishes in my natal day post..

Yeah today is my natal day and tomorrow is my big night. I want to thank God for giving another year to live in this world. The best blessing is a new life. I’m thankful for all the blessings like my loves ones who were always there for me. My friends who never forget. I’m happy today because I feel good and I want to thank God for the good feeling.
I started my day by going to church and attended the 11:30 mass. What a freezing and drizzling day for me. After I went to church, I eat lunch alone and hurried through my second driving lesson session. It was stressful because it’s not easy for me but I know it was not the end. Eventually I will learn. Not in a hurry anyway.

I was home by 2:20 in the afternoon and was waiting for the time to pick up my kids at school. Five minutes before the time I picked up the kids, someone knocks on my door. My best-friend Lina giving me flowers and greet me Happy Birthday. So sweet of her and almost everyday we’re together at the park with our kids.

On our way to the school, I saw my hubby on the way home holding lots of stuff for my birthday celebration tomorrow. He invited lots of Filipino friends and I invited my three foreign close friends as well with their kids. So it’s going to be a fun day. Hubby will cook almost everything for the celebration. He prepared a lot just for me.

When I came home and entered my room, I saw a card on the top of my laptop. Unexpected but I was delighted. Of course it’s from hubby. I feel like seventeen with his corny message. And I feel like overly loved. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

I was shocked when my bestfriend Sam of Show Me your Interest told me just a while ago that her mom passed away last night. Silly me thought she was joking. It hurts. It’s painful. I know the feeling when you lost someone. I lost my Dad fours years ago and that was the saddest moment of my life. Now my bestfriend’s Mom. How painful it is to lost a mother? Oh God, I don’t know. It’s unacceptable for me. I don’t know what words to tell her but she’s already prepared, her family was already prepared. She has an ill mother for 20 years those moment with her mom are so precious. I know how brave you are dear but still you’re a daughter so I know you’re in deep sorrow. Mommy Virginia is already in God hands. Free from pain. If you happen to stumble this page of mine and read this post, kindly drop a message of sympathy here or to my Besfriend’s Blog. Let’s help her pray for the soul and peaceful rest of her Mom
I love you dear bestfriend.
