My WonderNanay

Nanay-Mama-Mommy-Mother 

All of us have special places in our hearts, when we talked about our Nanays. I love calling my mother as "Nanay". It is somewhat caring and lovable name for me.

 
I will share my 5 Things You Should Know About My Nanay

1. ELVA ALVAREZ SALDITOS  - Half Spanish-Half Filipino - she was raised in Negros Occidental. True Ilongga by Mind & Heart. --- Having an Ilongga Mother is like no other. Her caress voice would not show her emotions as mad neither anger. My Tatay is much more talkative than her. She is a Woman of Few Words. She does not like talking too much but when my Mother started to speak, it is TRUE & SINCERE.

2. My PEG FOR LIFE - I do have many celebrity pegs but my Nanay is my very peg of all my pegs in all attributes of life. She possessed Faith & Love to our Heavenly Father. She taught me to become closer to Jesus & Mother Mary. When I was in grade school, she always told us to attend the Flores De Mayo in our Church together with my Ate. Then until now, I'm still inlove with the Lord & Mother Mary that for keeps for life.

3. My ROOM MATE - I am now 22 years old and I love to sleep beside my mother with matching tanday with yakap to her. She is my big pillow. I feel so relaxed as I hugged my chubby Nanay in my California King Bed and it released all the stresses within the day.We had this so-called Midnight Bonding in McDo, Minute Burger & 7-Eleven before we sleep as we making laugh to each other.

4. My GREAT PARTNER - She knows everything about me. She can handle my tantrums & childish acts. I always tell to her all my plans in life. She is my favorite cheerer as she lifted my ego to become stronger and pursue all my goals. We are more-like Barkada Relationship as we treated each other. She is my Best Friend, Indeed!

5. My GREAT HEALER - Every time when I am sick physically & emotionally. My Nanay is my confidante; She is my favorite taga-hilot. It healed me as I felt the warmth of her body as sh e hugged, touched and kissed me. I remembered when I was so depressed with everything in my life even until now; she was there praying for me without being so pry as I cried a lot. Motherly Love it is!

--- In few days from now as I made this blog, my Nanay will be going to London as she entered another phase of her life - being a LOLA.

--- I am gonna miss her a lot as in very much. :'( No more so-called Midnight Bonding if there is no one to be bonded with. How would I sleep without having my Big Pillow? How would I pray without having my Leader in Rosary? Who will be my companion in making Unlimited Chikas every morning, afternoon and even going to sleep? Who will be going to call me as "ANN"? Who will be going to text me everyday saying "SAN KA NA ANN?" & "GOD BLESS ANN". Oh Yes! Capitalized letters as she texted me that way!

--- Oh my! thanks to technology. We have different tunnels of communications that did not seem they are so far away.

--- God has so much surprises in our lives. We must be ready for those LIFE'S SURPRISES. <3

Shoo-Shoo Negaholics!

I know everyone can relate with the word "Negative Feeling" ---  new term "Bad Vibes". We always/sometimes worried about the things that might happen to our career, lovelife, family and to all our future plans. Paranoia - thinking what will happen tomorrow, next week, next month and for this coming year. It can ruined our personalities thinking those freaking possibilities.

 Ambassador of Positive Vibes -- if only I could become a representative of Team Manila for this statement. I would volunteer myself :)

I am Positive/Optimistic person. As easy as it seems; If only I could sustain this prowess of principle for life. Human Being is destined to make mistakes that is why it reciprocates to the capacity of becoming failure-loser-frustrated in our plans. We are afraid for the bad circumstances to happened that resulted as not to take the risks. Nevertheless, I believed that breaking out from our comfort zones would help us to achieve new experiences. We would not know what life has in store for us if we are afraid to try - try - try all over again.....

We are unable control everything but we can react to the situations. It is just a mind over matter effect. I am really having fun reading Bible Scriptures that can uplift my morale and perspectives in life. I will share some of my favorite bible verses.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me - Philippians 4:13

The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O Lord - Psalm 138:8

Commit to the Lord whatever you do and your plans will succeed - Proverbs 16:3 

For I know the plans I have for you; Plan to prosper you, not to harm you, plans to give you hope in future - Jeremiah 29:11

Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. - Matthew 7:7-8

We must take these Bible Verses to encouraged/uplifted our spirits. It really helped a lot --- there are lots of motivational verses in the Bible.  a Bible is not a Book of Arguments but a Book of Promised of God's Love. <3  

If we feel so lowly and down, surround ourselves with people that can listen & motivate our personalities. I am one of those blessed people having Family that is God-Centered. They are my No. 1 Fan --- as if I have many/more fans out there! Feeler Me! :P

I would end this blog entry with my Nanay's Ultimate Word.

--- KALMANTE ---

-- there is no such word as KALMANTE. It composed of two words: Kalma & Kampante. My Nanay explained that if it is God's Will; It Will Happen -- then nothing to worry :)


GOD BLESS YOU! :)
