I finally accepted the fact that I have a special son. I was still in the state of denial. ADHD is different from autism. Yeah, different signs and symptoms, different approaches, one is milder than the other, still, your still lucky from the others.
They are special kids that needs special kind of treatment and attention.
As D said, his greatest disappointment is P, but he has his ups and downs. But I know, P will be unique.
I love you P.

my mom's here!
She's back. She feels displaced and she looks good. Imagine, five years away from the land of your own.
I know, she's very happy after all the gatherings.
We are very glad and see her again.

it's V day!
I don't usually celebrate Valentine's Day. I find it corny, commercialized and Western. I don't usually greet my friends on this day.
But now, there's a twist of faith. Show love in all forms and ways. No matter in what state of mind you are in. When you love, everything is beautiful.
Cheers and let's all be happy!
For this day, I'll post an article from Bo Sanchez.
DID I MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON?
By: Bo Sanchez
During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said,
"How do I know if I married the right person?" I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, "It depends. Is that your husband?" In all seriousness, she answered "How do you know?" Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind. Here's the answer.
EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse. You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies. Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love... because it's happening TO YOU.
People in love sometimes say, "I was swept off my feet." Think about the imagery of that expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU.
Falling in love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.
The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage. At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking,
"Did I marry the right person?" And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when marriages break down. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment. Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes.
Infidelity is the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work, church, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances. But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies within it. I'm
not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could. And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):
The Key To Succeeding in
Marriage Is Not Finding The Right
Person; It's Learning To Love The
Person You found!
SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER
just happen to you. You can't "find" LASTING love. You have to "make" it day in and day out. That's why we have the expression "the labor of love."
Because it takes time, effort, and energy and most importantly, it takes WISDOM.. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work. Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you
can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage. Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are
also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable. .. you can "make" love.
Love in marriage is indeed a "decision".. . not just a feeling.
But now, there's a twist of faith. Show love in all forms and ways. No matter in what state of mind you are in. When you love, everything is beautiful.

si Tito B
I saw B, the uncle of C and D's former friend. They went haywire because si D, pinatos yung pamangkin ni B na si C. WTF!
B was talking to A who was making a fuss on his new second hand car. When he saw our car, I stared at him flatly. Know what, he cannot look straight in my eyes.
Guilty!!!

special problem
I'm almost done with my data gathering stage. One school to go. Now, I'm getting stress and irritable. I will be presenting my data and i think it will cost me sleepless nights and nightmares due to writing. I'm having palpitations, an irregular beating of my heart. OMG!!!
I told D, "Please, I'm working on my paper. No distractions and stressful environment. I need to concentrate." Ewan lang.....

yaya
My yaya of one year left last january 31. She's ok except that she's layas. Kung saan saan dinadala ang anak ko. Now, I have a replacement. A 31-year old with 6 kids who left their province because she had a spat with her husband. Fine, feeling ko, di tatagal ito. But she's fine. Sumusunod lang.
Me, I can't live without a maid. But, if I don't have a choice, I have to do all the stuff in the house, but definitely, super stress na ako noon. Kainis ano? Kaya me, I love my yaya. I treat them well.
