Kembot a just and 2014! And before I list down all the things I'm excited about enjoying with my kids, exploring with my husband, and discovering by myself, I tried summing up everything that I'm grateful for this past year.
1. Motherhood TO THE SECOND POWER! April 6, 2013, I gave birth to my second child - Jeorgina James Jabeguero-Rodillo. For the second time, I've CS operation. But this time, with me in the hospital my husband. And thanks to a friend, I was guided to a 'LUCKy' checkup that day to a 'LUCKYful' delivery. [We timed the 'cut' time and the red wife that day.] Unlike Ate Jam that I conceived on leave (lounge galore for 9 months, with excessive exposure to KBS channel, and John Lloyd movies), I bore JJ (Jeorgina's nickname) and my busiest. Aside from the MRT daily dysfunctional escalators and elevators, added to the reduction factor of 'water' we being JJ's career all the work. Of course, quality of service just to be, eh. Hahaha! [I will not be surprised if workaholic also the youngest is growing.]
2. THREE YEARS with BABA. All in all, we are 9 years, my Baba. Thanks for all the patience and understanding to those working nights sleep and I nagpapadede, and awaken you really still view, there are renewed. =) 3. Family's GENEROUS LOVE. Yaya to lose my two children, I thank my sister Helene, Kuya Mar, JM Kuya Ate Ate Nika and Max became partner to take care of my two chikiting. Kulit in their way, knowing varieties and their families. Blessing po us to stand the house. Sobraaaang thank you very much to the whole family Galdo, Cuenca, and Jabeguero Rodillo always open the door for us. 4. VALIK-Varsi. I was thankful that I opened the year I attended Valik-Varsi. To 'I explain reasons and in the midst of severe cases of eczema while pregnant, there naghila my visit Sofitel. It turned just remind me of God through the fellow Amihans and a timeless Varsi sharings we know how important and how much I love writing. At that time I had no money, I was a student, I nairaraos the necessity for 'babies' to print. Being a writer, not merely titles, terms that for us. 5. TREE-FILLED completely different. Minus my 60-day CS maternity leave, I feel no longer lost skin asthma I filled our calendar at work, I said that busy is better! Aside from writing regular works, I'm blessed to be sharpened when all the faith in God, leadership, coordination, facilitation, and people skills I looooooong with a string of events that began to tug or war on family time. But all have been worthwhile. All - looking back - I set luck. 6. REAL HARDWORK pays off, really. As previously, I still flattered when I see the printed results of my mischievous mind, #writingintransit, #whilenursingmybabies and #BBmasterpieces. But this year became way, way sweeter because God - through my bosses Sir Bong Osorio and Sir Kane Choa - made the seemingly impossible possible. This is the greatest gift of God for our family this year, alongside the big move of Baba.
7. FRIENDS. And because people just get tired when I also, sad, tearful, tired, asks, wild, exploding, and loss of self-confidence, I was thankful to God for the grace of friends. 8. Jamie achieves more! 'Terrible two' surely means a lot. And 2, Jamie experienced her first Jollibee kiddie party, won her first award (Top 5 Best Halloween Costumes in ABS-CBN's Weekend Children) and learned to pedal the bike, among many others. Thank you Lord to guide my children always active. 9. JJ's two front teeth. No doubt, my youngest little Jamie. Singanda, singcute, and singkulit. In late 2013, finally peep his two front teeth. Naked tired of this smile Jeorge. 10. JJ meets her grandfather Angel. Because both of my parents, it's important for me to be with my babies Grandpa and Grandma in the side of Rodillo. So I just ansaya to capture this picture we first met her when JJ Lolo Angel. Priceless! 11. Time-out. Often take always 'out' because of work, rarely we nakakalabas family due to various reasons kabusyhan. So when the spontaneous that it yayaan (aka grand treat Uncle Joseph, Teacher) to Tagaytay, so I would not forget it. 12. RJ and JL. Proof replacement of all suffering. In the midst of toxic day, I floated in the clouds (with my sis, Joycee) together with our eyes of Sir Miggy. Eeeeeeeeeh !!!!! ROMANTIC EXCITEMENT! [If it has not been pushed, for sure this is one of 'regret Moments of 2013' I.] 13. Me-time. Admits addiction to work, somewhat shy to say no, and never the priority to "selfie". But in 2013, I realized I deserve to put myself. At the same Pope Ahwel Paz DZMM, became the inner chant "I love myself" in cases where the physical body failing me. Seriously, no joke to become a full-fledged TV mommy - 24/7 writer, coordinator 24/7, 24/7 wife, 24/7 mommy! But with God's help, I could do!
Dear Lord, Thank you very much to all the lessons I learned in 2013; to all those who have loved, tried and especially strengthened me; all the time to prove that with Revenue in the middle of everything; and validation of real #familyisforever. You want me to continue I have to give praise to the Lord Your greatness. My family is the proof of the event Your miracle. N'yo Lord lead us to more peaceful, more productive, and happy 2014! MWAH. =)
Love, RJ
