Your Life is 71% Perfect |
 Your life is pretty darn perfect. You don't have much to complain about. Of course, your life is occasionally less than perfect. But you're usually too happy to notice. |

Really?
How Happy Am I, Really?
You Are Pretty Happy |
 You generally have a happy, fulfilling life. But things could be a little better, and deep down, you know it. Maybe you need more supportive friends or a more challenging career. Something is preventing you from being totally happy. You just need to figure out what it is! |
hhaaayyyyy! ive figured it out a loooooooooong loooooooooong time ago

GOD ANSWERED MY KIDS' PRAYERS!
I am soooooooooooooo ashamed! I did not take my kids' prayers seriously. I belittled Lanz's and Lexi's PURE FAITH. I certainly DID NOT think that my kids and GOD are so into each other. Now I am SORRY for having doubted, for being PROUD and ALL-KNOWING.
Everynight, as a family, we form a circle, do indian sit on our big bed, hold hands , and pray. Lanz always prays for a LONDON birthday with his cousin Ivan and Lexi always prays for a trip to AUSTRALIA so she can play with baby Julia and visit tita Lourm. Lloyd and I, after hearing those petitions, would usually give each other the i-wish-we could-do something-about- that look, smile and just proceed with our prayers.
After praying, I would ask lanz and lexi what their plan B is in case we really could not come up with vacation money. It is quite telling them directly that their prayers are really not doable.
But God proved that He hears and He listens ... and He is On top of everything. Just trust Him WHOLLY.
A couple of days ago, God answered my kids prayers. He gave us this great, great "gift" that brought us two-steps away from our London vacation and 99% away from our Australia trip. As in! Its sooo unbelievable! Lloyd and I, we were just so happy. We were practically in tears. We had goosebumps all the time we were talking about it. As i reckon all that has happened, i ended up with a crooked forehead and my lips quite open ( nag-iisip,natutulala, nagwo-wonder, at napapanganga). Wow! As in Wow! Its just AMAZING. GOD IS ALL POWERFUL. HE IS IT!
God answered our kids' prayers. Once again, He made himself felt. I feel, this is what PURE FAITH does. My kids, in all their innocence, trusted and believed in God 100%.
I feel convicted, having faith with our resources and human capability. What little faith I had (now I have more).

Lexi is the Sweetest
My Lexi has grown so fast. And she has turned into this sweet, sweet, darling that one couldn't help but kiss her and give her really tight hugs. Anyways, everyday she unconsciously lights up my day with her sweet one-liners.
Lexi says:
"Mom, thank you for helping me."
whenever we do something like color or answer worksheets
"Mom, im so happy!"
whenever we shop or play or do activities
"Mom, am I your princess?" (with a smiling face)
when i bought her this cute little princess hair accessory
"Mom, I love you!" (with an ipit voice)
she says this all the time
"Mom, Im a good girl"
when she did well in school and then she'd show me her stars and stamps on her hands
And many many more words of gratitude from her.
Isn't she the sweetest three year old girl in the planet??
But the best one-liner that really electrocutes me is
"Mom, be a good parent okay?"
Uhmmm ...
*buti na lang i feel that i have been a good mom to my kids, well at least for my standards, i think yes, i really have been good ... but imagine if hadn't ... sobrang aray tong statement na to ni lexi ... hehehe

Lanz's Lemonade
Me: Lanz, you're turning seven next year, where do you want to celebrate your birthday?
Lanz: (grinning)LONDON! I want to celebrate my birthday in London, with kuya Ivan.
Me: Naku anak its so expensive to go there ... its gonna cost us around 350 thousand pesos.
Lanz: (with a crooked line on his forehead) mom, can i borrow your calculator? (seryosong nagpindot-pindot) I know! I'm going to sell LEMONADE! and its going to take me 1 year and 1 week to get the money that we need! Hahaha ...(and he jumped, and skipped, and danced, and whirled around with much excitement and happiness)
Me: Wow! So that's plan A ... we need to come up with plan B just in case we cant have that kind of money
without any hesitations or whatsoever he blurted ...
Lanz: Im gonna pray to God. (instantly, he joined his hands in prayers, closed his eyes, and quietly said his prayers) There! I prayed to God to give us the money. And mom, i guess dad should go to the bank more often ... you know, and get more money. *wide eyes*big grin*
Brilliant! just brilliant ... kakatuwa anak ko!
