At the Eastern Medicine Hospital

Oh yes… Nobody likes gout and when the kids and I pray, we ask gout to go away and never come back!!! Joey’s left foot got attacked by Mr. Gout when we were about to end our Chinese New Year in the Philippines. It was probably caused by too much eating of all sorts of food (including the forbidden ones such as monggo) and too much walking. After 2 weeks of agony he finally decided to rest his aching foot and see a doctor. Yipeee!!! So there he is in an eastern hospital, which mainly usese Chinese medicines and the world known accupuncture. However, accupuncture can only be done after the swelling goes away so he was first given some medicines to take for a few days. Tomorrow we will go back to the hospital again to see if he can go through with the accupuncture.

BUSY HANDS

Busy Hands

I have this album in Facebook that I entitled BUSY HANDS and currently I’m on my 3rd album,  containing about 60 photos in each.  I don’t want the viewers to wait for a long time while the pictures are loading that’s why I create a new one when I see 60 photos. I entitled the album BUSY HANDS mainly because I want to TRAIN my children in different areas of their lives – spiritually, financially, emotionally, mentally, psychologically, physically, artistically (oh how I love arts!) and all the other -ally’s that are there… where does COOKING come in? Physically I guess, haha.  But as a mother, I believe it is my GOD-given responsibility to raise persons who are responsible, making a difference wherever they are, who will be a blessings to people around them and honor the name of their Maker.  And your guess is right, we start training them … Continue reading

Samsung 10.1 Over Ipad 2

I spent several nights and days checking on which is better, iPad 2 or Samsung 10.1. My cousin in law (Ivy) patiently went with me the other day so we can have our hands on these 2 gadgets. Finally yesterday, with my husband‘s approval, I got the Samsung 10.1 white. Unfortunately, the today I returned it to Samsung and they were so nice to give me back my money, full refund.  The unit was wonderful, it felt really good to play & work with.  However, Android Market, which is the apps center for android products, will only work properly with the Chinese version and not the English version… sigh. After 4 hours of trying to figure out how to configure my unit to work properly with the English apps version, the manager informed me that there’s nothing they can do as of the moment and advised me to buy my … Continue reading

Long Time No Blog

I miss blogging… Although I have alot in my drafts, my last published entry was last July.  After we came back from our family vacation in the Philippines, I was hoping to spend more time updating my blog because a cousin is here to help me take care of the kids.  However, uploading pictures became super duper difficult.  I’ve always had this problem considering we’re in China, but now it’s almost impossible to upload pictures in my blog post.  That really made me sad and that’s why I’ve been really quiet.  Not only in the blogosphere but also in Facebook.  Waiting for the proxy to load takes so much time and almost always, I’ve waited in vain. Friends have sent me emails, ym’s and posted in my wall that I’ve been really quiet, haha… So I thought I’ll just write it here hoping they can think of visiting and read this post. Thanks to friends and … Continue reading

I Thank…

lovingly-mama-new-header-copy

I consider this as the relaunching of my blog SheWritesYouWrite, haha.  As to why, probably I’ll write about it next time.  But for now, allow me to thank my sister in law for my header! Yippeee! Doesn’t it look very pretty and feminine?  You can visit poshpost and request her to do your header, badge or any digital designs.  She does an excellent layout! Also, her birthday’s coming up so as another thank you, I’d like to showcase her blog about her loving motherhood moments with my niece Budin (actually her names Dindin but I just love calling her Budin). If you frequently visit her blog, I’m actually the “dichim”, hihi.  Since we’re married to handsome Chinese men (wink), we carry on Chinese titles before our names. Posh is “A-em” in my blogs actually. Posh, I THANK you for organizing my wedding, haha, that was 8 years ago pa! So that means … Continue reading

Birthday Project for Papa

Today is the birthday of my best friend and my children’s dad Hmmm… guess you know who I’m talking about! Right! It’s my luvyduvs birthday! A.K.A. Papa! I had a hard time deciding what to give him until an AHA moment came when EJ, my first born, got his clay out 2 days ago. Right there and then I asked him to do something for papa for his birthday. I didn’t have a concrete idea yet what the birthday project will be, all I know was we had to make something for daddy-yo! So this afternoon, while Meimei was sound asleep, EJ and I, with yaya’s help, made our birthday project for papa. We didn’t complete the project until Meimei got up and allowed us to have her hand traced – this was the most difficult part of the project I tell you! But it was very much worth the … Continue reading

LOVE LETTERS TO E.J.

My husband and I agreed that from time to time, we will write letters to our children so that someday, they have something to guide and encourage them when they need it. We can’t and we won’t be with them all the time, but with these letters, it’s as if we’re beside them. From these letters they’ll know how much we love them, what we value the most, what we pray for, what our principles are, who we are and what we, as parents, hope to impart to them that they too can impart to their children. We will categorize these types of blogs as LOVE LETTERS TO E.J. because truly, all our letters will be written because we love them. All our children have the initial E.J. Elisha Joey (Elisha or EJ) our son and Elizabeth Joy (Meimei) our daughter. If a third child comes, for sure his or … Continue reading

IN MY LIFE…

SHE WRITES: Last night I had a date with my mom and dad We watched a Star Cinema movie entitled IN MY LIFE which stars the Star For All Seasons Ms. Vilma Santos, her son Luis Manzano and a versatile actor John Lloyd Cruz and is directed by Olivia Lamasan, who also directed the  movies Got 2 Believe in Magic and Milan. You may watch the full trailer of this abs-cbn movie IN MY LIFE here. Among the characters, it was Shirley who made me laugh and cry as I can see in her my mother and myself (as a mother too). There was a part in the movie where Ms. Vilma Santos, Shirley, told about how there were times she wanted to give up but she didn’t because she had to be strong for her children. There I saw my mom… I believe many times in the past there were days she was just … Continue reading

First Timer’s Luck?

SHE WRITES: Almost a month ago the Negros Bloggers had our first blogger’s meet up at the Bacolod Casino Filipino  with Janette Toral as our speaker. It was a night of food, fun and friendship. It was also my first time to get inside the casino. Yes, at my age, it was my first time! All the participants were given the P300 double the money certificate and I was one of the lucky ones who got the P500 1st bet certificate during the raffle. Using those 2 certificates from PAGCOR, my friends and I decided to go inside and place bets, anyway we didn’t need to put in cash. So we went inside and tried our “luck”.  To my amazement, I WON!!! I went home bringing with me P2,000 cash!!! I was sooooo happy! A lot of my friends commented that it was a ” First Timer’s Luck.” It was the first time I … Continue reading

ACTIONS OR WORDS?

SHE WRITES: There’s a saying that goes, UNEXPRESSED GRATITUDE IS INGRATITUDE. It doesn’t say though if it has to be verbalized because there are people who are not expressive in their words, but they claim they express gratitude through their actions. However, actions without words may easily be misinterpreted. Same goes with all words and no actions, the recipient of our words may doubt what we’re saying.  So when it comes to expressing, I think it should be both actions + words. I am both – I say it out loud when I’m grateful and I also see to it that actions like hugs or kisses go with my words. My husband is most of the time the action only type. After 5 years of marriage, I finally heard him say (with 2 witnesses) when we were in China that I am not just his better half, I am his perfect half – the perfect fit for him. … Continue reading

IS CRYING A SIGN OF WEAKNESS?

SHE WRITES: I don’t know if you’re familiar with the song Boys Don’t Cry, but I am. Growing up I always wondered why it’s such a big deal for boys (big ones because little boys DO cry if they need to) admitting that they cried over something or someone. What’s more surprising though is that some people (including women) find it a sign of weakness when they cry.  But not for me… Personally, I think crying is my way of unloading my burdens and after that, there’s a certain relief and I DO feel better. I can say I’m stronger after hundreds or thousands of tears had been released. Well, aside from the fact that I consider myself a cry baby, crying is really an outlet for me when I’m hurt or when I’m down. I cry if I need to or if I want to. However, I always choose to dry my tears, get on with life and … Continue reading

KNOW SOMEONE WITH IMPERFORATE ANUS?

  SHE WRITES:   It’s been almost 4 months since my last post so allow me to give you an update… I already gave birth to a very pretty baby girl and we call her “Meimei” which mean little sister in Chinese. Everything is well except that she has imperforate anus. As wikipedia puts it: “An imperforate anus or anal atresia is a birth defect in which the rectum is malformed. Its cause is unknown.” Right now Meimei has colostomy – considered as the first operation. The second operation that will take place sometime in October will be for the “making” of the rectum and the third operation will be the closure of the colostomy after about another 4-6 months. For the duration of about 1 year and 6 months, we (EJ, Meimei and I) will stay here in the Philippines while my husband stays in China (but he’ll be … Continue reading

ARE YOU AN INITIATOR?

SHE WRITES:Hi friends in the blogging world… I miss blogging and reading what you have to share… I’m sorry I haven’t been visible for a while and that’s because I’m starting up a project and the fact that I’m on my 6th month in my pregnancy, I have to make sure everything should be running this month so that next month, I can dedicate my time preparing for my coming baby. I’m very much excited because as an influencer (my personality type), initiating things or starting up is really one thing I love doing. I am in the Philippines right now with my son while my husband went back to China last February 2. Initiating this project allows me to not focus too much on being lonely – which is all the more why I’m keeping myself really busy. My son is doing well, I enrolled him in one of … Continue reading

GO ON OR STOP?

SHE WRITES:Last month I underwent a blood test that enabled me to find out if my soon to be born baby has the right number of chromosomes needed for a normal child. On our way home, I asked my husband why I had to go through that test. What if our child has more or less chromosomes needed, is there medical intervention to correct the case? He said NO, it’s just for us to consider if we will continue or stop the pregnancy because here in China, abortion is legal. That made me think… I don’t believe in abortion and I always believed that a fetus is already human and has the right to live. However, this event shook what I have always believed and made me wonder… What if indeed the child will turn out to have down syndrome or other abnormalities? We have a friend that has a … Continue reading
