Planning To Have A Baby....Next Year

Well Eds and I talked about this before...we'll plan on having a baby next year. Eds wants a boy, I want a girl...Actually, the thought excites me knowing how kaasikaso si Eds...
We are not in the rush though it feels like people around us are really expecting it to be soon...hehe.I recently got a call from Mama (my mother in law) asking how things are and if Im pregnant already...hehe
A lot of people even thought that the reason why we were getting married was because Im preganant...excuse me I beg to differ. I promised my lola and my parents that if I ought to marry, it shouldnt be out of any other reason but of LOVE and PREPAREDNESS.
We wanted to be emotionally and financially ready when the baby arrives and at this time, though we are financially ok with our savings and with our new business
, we both believe its best that we adjust ourselves first with the married life...

The SSS Challenge!

Eds and I had an early breakfast- skinless longganisa, spicy tuna, fried egg and hot rice when I thought of going to SSS to arrange my papers and update my membership data. So we went to SSS-Bacoor at around 8 am and naloka ako as in-the place is jampacked already.
Since I have the documents already, I didn’t struggle to accomplish one anymore. Eds got me a number-duh 119! So ayun, no choice kungdi pumila…at first akala ko may silbi yung number, yun nman pala wala…all these people are in line regardless of their number…kaloka diba? anyway, medyo tolerable nman ang waiting time…asar lang ang taong sumisingit at kawalan ng sistema sa government agencies. What's supposed to be a no-brainer procedure ends up really difficult all because walang sistema at walang disiplina...hay.

As for me, I finished at around 9:30. I simply presented E4 (form for member's data amendment) along with my original copy of marriage certificate and its photocopy and was asked to have a new ID a month after...
so there...finally!

Sundays with the Family

We were up early this morning as it became a habit to bring Nanay to CCP every Sunday morning for some leisure time. My lola is now 77 and I want her to enjoy and relax… Lately she has been coughing a lot and seems to lose appetite.
I spent my 24 years with her as I was a laki sa lola (much like Eds) and only left her care when I was already 24.Kaya nga kahit 12 na ako naka uwi the other night from an event, di pwedeng di ko sasamahan ang nanay!



We left at around 5am and reached CCP at 6am…she enjoyed strolling around and sitting by while watching my aunt as she gyrated for some aerobic moves.
After that, Eds and I along with our cousin Gel went to the local Starbucks for some coffee then Eds bought me a Starbucks go-green! Tumbler…and an early lunch at Aristocrat!

Saturday Specials

I had my third wedding this Saturday as a wedding coordinator and as usual I was assigned to the bride (which I love doing by the way...)it was a very beautiful garden wedding at Sonya's and a very organized one (siyempre kami pa!) despite the sudden increase of wedding guests, we managed the event ever so smoothly. Eds and my brother fetch me at around 10:30pm and the three of us headed to a late foodtrip.
When I went home, I saw this box with my name on it-it was from one of my favorite wedding supplier-FOTOBREW! They sent our orders for the Fotomagnets. You see, Eds and I have been very busy that we forgot to write some THANK YOU notes.So to make up for it, we decided to have the pics of our entourage printed in fotomagnets with the word THANK YOU on it...ang cute nila...parang ayoko ipamigay...joke...and since we only had several pics for enturage, the rest of the 30pcs of magnets were all our pictures (yup, greedy noh?) hehe...along with the magnets is the personalized background that we had i our onsite photobooth which Alvin so kindly gave to us for free...

MARRIAGE

FORWARDED MESSAGE:

When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly.

She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Dew. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her!

With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company.

She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Dew so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was
actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.

The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Dew.

When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.

In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normala life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.

This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day.

She requested that everyday for the month's duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.

I told Dew about my wife's divorce conditions. She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully.

My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't
tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.

On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I
wondered what I had done to her.

On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me.

On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Dew about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday
workout made me stronger.

She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.

Suddenly it hit me... she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.

Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mum out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closerand hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.

But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life
lacked intimacy.

I drove to office... jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind... I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I do not want the divorce anymore.

She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each other any more. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart.

Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away.

At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.

The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank, blah..blah.. blah. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So find time to be
your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!

If you don't share this, nothing will happen to you.

If you do, you just might save a marriage.

1 Corinthians 13
Love
1If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Can We Really Have It All?

For some, it's a full, exciting life. Others feel overwhelmed with having so much to do, never feeling like they are doing any one thing really well.

In some ways it's an old story. Women have been juggling work and family responsibilities since the late 1960s and 1970s when large numbers of women started entering the workforce.

"Primarily these were middle-class mothers, who were taking jobs outside the home for the first time," notes Pamela Stone, Ph.D., associate professor of sociology at Hunter College and the CUNY Graduate Center in New York City and author of Opting Out?: Why Women Really Quit Careers and Head Home (2008). In contrast, Stone says, low-income women had always had a tradition of working, usually doing a domestic job such as maid or nanny.

During the 1950s, no more than 20 to 30 percent of mothers (with children aged 18 or younger) were employed outside the home, and these were primarily poor women who needed to work to pay their bills. Very few middle and upper-class women worked then; they didn't have to.

By the late 1980s, however, 70 percent of American mothers were employed outside the home, either full or part-time. Since then, the numbers appear to have plateaued. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, three out of four households today have two working parents. The ratio is similar in most other industrialized nations.

Another statistic worth noting is that two thirds of married mothers with preschool-aged children are in the paid labor force. At least half of these women are going back to work within three to five months of giving birth. This is quite a shift from the 1970s and 1980s.

A generation ago most mothers waited until their children were in school before returning to work. Now most mothers of preschool-aged children work outside the home.
A heavier workload—for Mom and Dad

Once moms started going to work outside the home, their lives changed dramatically. Most found that although they were able to find fulfillment in their day job, they were still doing the majority of the housework and child care once they got home in the evenings. Still, men were starting to feel obligated to at least do some housework.

In his 1997 best seller Time for Life: The Surprising Ways Americans Use Their Time, University of Maryland sociologist John Robinson reported that American men were spending 17.4 hours per week on average doing housework and child care, while women spent 35.1. Many sociologists believe the gap hasn't changed much in recent years.

"Working moms are still doing most of the housework," says University of Chicago sociologist Linda Waite, Ph.D. However, she adds, "It's not as bad as it sounds—not when you take into account that men are working longer hours on their jobs than women are."

In her 2003 nationwide study of middle-class families, she found that husbands were working 48 hours a week in paid employment, and wives on average worked 37. Women also tend to take jobs closer to home, so they generally have shorter commutes—husbands averaging 45 minutes each way, wives 15 minutes one way.

Just looking at the averages reported by the studies mentioned here, when housework and child care hours are added to time spent on jobs and commutes, American husbands and wives are each working 70-plus hours a week—quite a jump from the 1950s when most husbands and wives had just one full-time "occupation" each.

Workloads of European parents have increased, too. In 2007, researchers at Cambridge University surveyed working couples in the European Union and found the average working week for a woman in full-time employment to be 68 hours (including commuting, domestic work and child care). The average workweek for a man is 55 hours (including commute time and domestic work).

Today's mothers and fathers have to share the work of stay-at-home mom between them, and do that on top of their regular paid jobs.

Consider a typical American couple's work schedules in the 1950s. Back then, the husband probably had a 40-hour workweek, which was the norm during the 1950s and 1960s. Add to that the time the man spent commuting to work (which was about a third to half of today's commute times), home and car maintenance, yard work, errands, etc., and he still wasn't working more than 50 to 55 hours a week total. He wasn't also typically having to pitch in with the cooking and cleaning.

The stay-at-home mother, even if she was doing a lot of cooking and sewing, probably wasn't averaging more than 45 hours of work a week (although it is true that a mother's work is never done—it has always been a 24/7 on-call job).

This is not to say that the 1950s were the ideal necessarily; it only serves as a comparison to show how much more women—and men—are working today.

A factor that's added to the problem in recent years (and made mothers' busy workloads not just "the same old story") is that children's schedules have gotten busier too. Most middle-class parents have their children involved in a whole range of outside activities such as music and sports. This has impacted parents—and mothers in particular—in a big way.

This is quite a contrast from growing up just a generation ago, when children weren't involved in a lot of outside activities and families had more downtime, observes William Doherty, professor of family social science at the University of Minnesota and author of Putting Family First (2002). "Now parents are busy all weekend shuffling their kids to all the different sporting events they're involved with," he says. "That's in addition to running errands or catching up on housework that didn't get done during the week."
What are the pluses?

But as stressful as it can be for a woman to work outside the home, many women find a lot of pluses. Most working women see their careers as personally fulfilling, or at least that's the kind of jobs they hope for. Women want to be able to help and serve others, be productive, solve problems, use their creativity, meet challenges and learn new concepts and skills. Even though a lot of these things can be achieved at home, having some additional growth opportunities outside the family unit can be much appreciated.

Stephanie Miller is a middle-school teacher in Wheaton, Illinois, and a mother of two children, ages 8 and 10. She gains a great deal of personal satisfaction from her work. "I love being around the students, helping them and encouraging them to do their best," Miller says.

While she works full-time during the school year, she doesn't feel her job interferes with family life. "I have basically the same workday schedule and days off as my kids do at their school, so I'm able to be home when they're home," she says. Even if she has papers to grade in the evening, she'll do it next to her kids at the kitchen table while they're doing their homework, so they're still "hanging out" together.

Leslie Crossman, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist with the Houston Independent School District and mother of three. Like Miller, her job allows her to be home when her kids are home. Ideally, she would have preferred to work in private practice, but she took the job with the school district so that she would have summer vacations free with her children.

Still, she's thrilled with her job. "My work is part of who I am," says Crossman, who is also a licensed marriage and family therapist. "My children are always going to be my top priority. But if at all possible, I wanted to be able to keep working even after I became a mother. I wanted to use the degree I worked so hard to attain."

Women who give priority to their family and spiritual life and who are still able to use and develop their other talents can remind you of the superwoman described in Proverbs 31. That biblical chapter shows a talented, industrious, innovative wife putting her God-given talents to use as a productive member of society, with support from her husband.

Of course, the extra paycheck for the family is also a huge motivator for wives to work. For some it may be to buy "wants" rather than "needs." But these days, many households feel the need for two incomes just to get by financially. The costs of a home, utilities, taxes, car expenses, food, clothing and educational expenses are beyond the income ability of the typical one-income family.

And women at the lower end of the economic spectrum often cannot find a full-time job, so they work multiple part-time, unskilled jobs.
What about the minuses?

The main challenge working mothers face is getting so busy, worn-out and burned-out that they let more important priorities slide.

Says one working mother of two: "I have so much to do—my job as dental hygienist, a class one night a week, a household to run, meals to cook, I'm secretary for our parent-teacher association, and my husband and sons need my time too.

"I'm always staying up late every night trying to get everything done, which makes it that much harder to get up early in the morning when the alarm clock goes off. Lately, I'll hit the snooze button, sometimes a couple of times, and there goes my prayer time for that morning! My days are so hectic that I'm often completely wiped out by bedtime, and so it's hard for me to pray then too."

Relationships with one's spouse and children can suffer as well. Dual-income couples typically have less time together, which reduces the happiness and satisfaction of a marriage. These couples often don't have enough focused time where they can talk and give each other their undivided attention. When they are together, it's often when they're rushing out the door to get to soccer meets or appointments—definitely not quality time.

Marital tension can result if the wife (or husband or both) feels like she's doing more than her share of the housework. Regina of Easton, Pennsylvania, explains her situation: "My husband works in mid-town Manhattan and has a two-hour commute each way by bus. He leaves the house at 6 a.m. and gets home close to 7:30 p.m. It's a long commute, but he's on the bus and can read and relax.

"I don't leave for my job until 8:30, and get home by 5:30. So I'm the lone adult in the house during the two busiest times of the day—the morning rush to get the kids ready for school, and the after-school rush when the kids are hungry and cranky, and dinner needs to be made. All this extra work falls on me because I'm the only parent who's home during these times. Yet I put in a full day at work too!"

Overwork may also leave mothers (and fathers) with limited time, attention or energy for their children. "Increasingly in our fast-paced society there's just not enough of consistent, quality, interactive face time between parents and kids," notes Gary Hill, Ph.D., director of Clinical Services for the Family Institute at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. "Yet that's what kids today crave most."

He links the "parenting deficit" to a variety of problems plaguing the country's youth: moral decline, drug and alcohol use, promiscuity, anxiety, depression and teen suicide.

When it comes to children not yet of school age, there are particular issues with mothers working. That is, if you have to send them to day care so you can go to work, you are giving up precious time with them that you will never be able to reclaim.

True, there are low-income mothers who need to work to make ends meet. They may have no choice but to put their children in child care, because they have to work to pay the rent. But if at all possible, it's best if mothers can stay home with their children when they are babies and preschoolers.

"Try to wait until your kids are in school before you return to work," urges Isabelle Fox, Ph.D., a developmental psychologist in Sherman Oaks, California, and author of Being There: The Benefits of a Stay-at-Home Parent (1996). Countless studies have been done showing that very young children need this extra bonding time with their mothers.

"There is so much to miss out on if you are not 'there' to see your children on a daily basis at this young age," Fox says. Many working mothers have bemoaned the fact that they missed out on seeing their baby's first steps or hearing their first words—because they were at work while their child was at day care.

Relates one former working mom: "I used to drop my two girls, ages 1 and 3, off at day care at 7 a.m. and pick them up at 6 p.m. every weekday. We would get home around 6:30, I would make dinner and they would go to sleep about 8 o'clock. I started thinking, 'Hey, I'm only seeing my girls for two hours a day. If that's all I was going to see them, then why did I even have kids in the first place?' So I quit my job and put my career on hold. I'll have plenty of time to work once my girls are older."

Other "minuses" relating to a mom working relate to her own physical and emotional health. A woman who is overwhelmed with job pressures and household responsibilities may not have time for friends, leisure activities or even just some quiet time to rest and reflect. These are all things that help women rejuvenate themselves and regain some emotional peace. "Without downtime, stressors can get the better of us," Crossman says.

Research shows that working mothers are more prone to stress-related ailments than stay-at-home moms. That's because many working mothers try to cram too much into their schedules and do not have enough time to relax. Stress can weaken a woman's immune system, making her more susceptible to illness. Working mothers typically do not get enough sleep either—and that is certainly something everyone needs.
Striking a balance

Considering all these factors, each family must make its own decision. Whether working outside the home is the right choice depends on the individual woman, how it's impacting her family and what is required of her to do the job. What works for one woman might not for another.

But even the "Superwoman" types can't truly do it all—have a successful career and do everything that a full-time homemaker would be able to accomplish. "You have to lower your expectations about what you're going to be able to do," Crossman says. "When you're working and you have a family too, something is always on the back burner in terms of getting neglected."

If Mom has to work late, she may have to miss her son's baseball game. If she's unable to stay late at work because of her daughter's concert, she may feel like she's letting down her employer. Mom may be thrilled about her raise, but feel frustrated that her house is a mess or she hasn't had time to get caught up on many things.

There are going to be tradeoffs with Mom working. If the worst is that she may not have time to clean her house as well as she'd like, or she's serving her family spaghetti sauce from a jar rather than homemade, that's probably okay. But if Mom has to be away from home 12 hours a day to take that job promotion, or send her toddler to day care so she can climb the career ladder, those are trade-offs she probably shouldn't make.

It's also important to consider Dad's perspective in all this. If Mom's going back to work, Dad's going to have to pick up some of the slack at home. She needs to know how much of the household responsibilities he's willing—and able—to take on.

Some men are already working 50+ hours a week and may not have a lot of extra time to help out around the house. Other husbands really like cooking and maybe they're high-energy people themselves, so they'll jump right in and take on a lot of the domestic duties—without being nagged.

You have to know how much you and your family can handle. Chances are, even the Proverbs 31 woman knew her limits. While she did have outside business pursuits, she didn't let things hinder her spiritual life or physical health or let her family responsibilities slide. She probably wasn't gone from home 50 or 60 hours a week, either. Keep in mind, too, that she had servants to help out with the housework, which most middle- and lower-income women today do not have.

For many mothers, the ideal in terms of working is probably part-time. This is enough to provide some outside fulfillment and boost the household income, but it's not so much that it takes away from the family or a woman's personal life.

A 2007 study by the Washington, D.C. based Pew Research Center shows that 60 percent of working mothers say part-time work would be their ideal. Similar results were found in a 2006 survey conducted by the United Kingdom's Office for National Statistics. They surveyed working mothers and found that half wanted to combine bringing up their children with a part-time job. Only 6 percent wanted to work full-time.

However, desirable part-time jobs that offer decent pay are not easy to find. So while many women would like to work part-time, they are basically "forced" to work full-time because they need a job that pays decently and provides health insurance. And if you want to work in one of the professions like business management, law, finance or medicine, not only is it difficult to find part-time work in these fields, it's also hard to find positions where you aren't expected to work 50 or 60 hours a week.

All this creates a huge burden on women who are trying to find a way to balance a career with family responsibilities. Much could be done to make things easier for families, such as job sharing (where two professionals fill one position), health benefits for part-time workers (especially a problem for low-income workers, who may only be able to get part-time jobs), telecommuting and paid family leave.

So what does a woman do if she either needs or would like to work? Can a woman combine a career and family and not short-change either? With the right job opportunity and a supportive husband and children, a woman may be able to manage quite well with a full-time job and still have a smooth-running household.

With time becoming ever more precious and family finances getting tighter and tighter, it's important to keep your priorities straight and pray that God will help you make the right decisions about how you use your time. Your family is counting on you to make wise decisions!

Going Acoustic

I'm currently enjoying Leila Boussard's acoustic verson of Beyonce's Single Ladies and Sabrina's Irreplacable on my iPod....I think I never understood the lyrics of those songs until now...
Easy listening!
