I am always fond of children and can still remember how many times I barrowed little ones in our neighborhood. Yes you read it right… barrow because I am the youngest in the family. I take good care of them like they are mine. Feed, bath, play with them and even made them sleep with my lullaby. Most of the mothers would often tell me “ gumawa ka na kasi ng sarili mo para hindi ka na nanghihiram”. Yeah right, easy for them to say but at that rime I felt that I was still young for that responsibility though I know in my heart that I would be a good mom someday.

Years passed and we were blessed to have Vinze Jon, now the youngest. People were startled that I was already in my 20’s so how come on earth my parents would bring into being another baby… well that’s what we call MIRACLE! and indeed he is to us…. good news to me as that means I never have to go out and asked mother’s permission If I can have their child be mine for a day. My days with Vinze though are not that long because weeks after he’s arrival, I have to depart to Dubai for work.

Never in my wildest imagination that would motherhood surprise me in Dubai. Arvin Ros is a 100% Dubai made. We never planned on having him but I guess at 28 I am destined to become a mother, at least now a REAL one! Words can’t express how happily overwhelmed I am upon seeing my son and finally holding him in my arms…. Tiny, soft, very fragile to cleave to but still mother’s touch can’t be suppress nor be frightened of that. I still embraced him and for once and at long last in my life of the many times I’ve cradled a child that precious moment I felt the blood rushed to my heart that the thump is so strong…Thou undeniably is mine……

How time flies real fast, from a tiny new born to a tubby toddler that is how Arvin now. A very happy baby, I guess his talent is to smile; he is indeed great at that. A mere smile but it truly gives a warm, joyous feeling in my heart. His actions now are so funny, he knows a lot of ways to make himself grin as well as myself. A lot of times I find myself laughing especially when we are playing because of his cute, innocent and really baby like behavior. By some means I am embracing this once in a lifetime opportunity as I know Arvin will never go back to being a baby again though motherhood on the other hand is a never ending process, an eternal mark of responsibility and I just wish that while my son continues his way to maturity may I carry on the conscientiousness in many ways of being a good mentor, friend, confidant, especially a mother and a hot momma at that!!!!! Hahahaha!! Well… will find out more of Arvin’s adventure in the next very near future… Till then


Proud Mother

The concept of motherhood should never be confused with MOTHERHOOD.

William Shakespeare once said, A Rose by any other name would smell as sweet......
There may be different ways for us to define motherhood (we are all different in handling that responsbility anyway) but we are all welcome to believe what we like as long as we find it useful and substantial....

I know my feedback is too late late however let me know your thoughts on the movie... Had doritos few days back, will try probably tostitos next tym. Enjoy!!!!

the diference between the small letters motherhood to that of the big letters MOTHERHOOD is, it is preceded with the word "CONCEPT". concept, meaning idea of motherhood..should not be confused with real "MOTHERHOOD". big big big difference. learned it the hard way.

I had a doll named CHIKI...had my concept of motherhood.

Had my son Jashkah...Now I know what it means.

GETZ?
