This was not really a vacation, I went back my home town to attend the burial of my father way back August - September 2012.

Just before, I went back to Canada, I had a taste of my childhood beach which I really missed a lot, with me are my relatives who supported us, my family in difficult times.

I got a chance to sight-seeing again the simple but amazing nature who I loved the most. The environment that witnessed how I grow up.

I really miss this place & of course my family, OMG!!! now I am crying huhuhu. I hope someday I can visit you again. In God's perfect timing.

A Day at Bora

Bora Parc at Valcartier Village
Bora Parc is an indoor water park located in Valcartier Village, Quebec. It has so many things or activities inside for the entire family to enjoy. There's a wave pool, there's so many slides in different sizes and heights, a family pool, there's a river that everybody enjoys tubing, restaurant if you are hungry or thirsty to go to, etc.
This indoor water park, has a lot to offer, my children of course including me were very overwhelmed when we went inside. We were like "WOW" amazing place to relax and enjoy. This place has a lot of areas to go to and enjoy but my children loves the family pool and slide, they do not want to go anywhere other than the family pool. They enjoyed so much that they didn't want to go home until the security personnel or two of the staff members told everybody to go out of water including my children hahaha....
One day is not really enough, you have to keep coming back to really enjoy. What I want to go to this summer is the outside water park.
Why we chose the inside park? Oh yeah, when we get there, it was chilly and windy, the weather was not nice at all. So, we decided to go to the Bora Parc, which was a smart decision for the entire family. We love it, we had an ultimate experienced. We love to go back there.

The Love I Dream is not Meant to Be

8:53 am 0 Comments
"I believed that everything happened for a purpose we don't even know the plan of God for
us. However, people figuring out that everything we did there's a result and consequences either good or bad based on human perceptions and we start judging people based on results. But, what is happening to me I consider it's a part of God's plan I am just an instrument to fulfill that plan to make everything justifying in the end.

All of us feel love, this is a natural feeling and the most powerful emotion a person can have but most of us define love in different ways and in different aspects.
Does it difficult to find love? Does it easy to understand your feelings? Questions that raises everybody about what love really is? In my thought, it is easy to find love, feel and understand it, yet I realized that it’s not easy at all and I even couldn’t understand how and why there’s a broken pieces of my heart lying everywhere that until now I’m trying to mend it all together. It’s difficult… taking it slowly. Somehow, someday for sure I will get to mend it. The broken heart will become whole, pure and ready to bloom again.
The love I dream is not meant to be... hmmm... this is my love story... Looking back to the years 1993, when I had met a man of my dream, for me he was perfect, he was the man I am looking for to share and build my future. I felt also that he likes me and love for who I am. He was courting me and we became as one. Everything then was perfect, a very happy couple. I am so happy and content. 
We even more happier when we knew that the love we shared together was starting to bloom in my womb. Yes!!! I got pregnant, that was year 1995. Our fruit of love is Angelica, my one and only angel that made me strong and brave enough to face any challenges I meet in this world. I am so happy, the best feeling I've ever had in my life. 
I thought, there was no problem that will struck in our relationship, definitely I was so wrong. The perfect man I know had a hidden behavior, his true colors came out after years of togetherness. I was once a battered wife. It was so painful reality but I need to stay for the sake of my daughter and I don't want to have a broken family. I suffered too much! The torment that I had was indescribable. However, I was not brave enough to accept the fact of being broken. I played as a martyr.
We all do have a good job. I was a supervisor in an Electronics Company and he is an Army official. Our life continued as a normal couple. In an outside we were happy but what they didn't know, I'm just wearing a mask of smile.
Every time, I was late coming home, he hit me, he couldn't control his temper

that sometimes he almost killed me. He was a jealous man which I knew jealousy controls his misconduct. It was difficult to believe but I was living it! My body and mind became numb for receiving his treatment like this over and over and over again.
It was difficult to decide but I had to, whether to stay in agony or free from it. One day, I opened up and stand my point to break the relationship because I had too much. Aside from being abusive, he also had another woman. The truth I couldn't take. However, I couldn't moved out because of my baby. He was using the innocent Angel to hook my neck. 

He was asking for another chance with a promise to change his behavior and be loving once again. At that point, who I am? not to accept the father of my child. As an army, he was assigned faraway from us. I knew that he loves me but the deepest part of my heart, there was a question and I am not sure if my love for him was still there. I thought, the love was gone for good.
I taught myself to be brave and strong enough to pursue life for my daughter. It was so difficult. At first, he went home but most likely he did not changed. He always on his phone and hid it away from me. It seems like he was hiding for something and worried I might read whatever was on his phone. What he doesn't know, I already read them when he came home drunk. I knew he had a girlfriend from the place he was assigned. I did not complain at all. I just focused my time to my work, house and my daughter. 
Our set up was like that until Angelica grow. Then, I decided to work abroad, to move on that was year 2010. At first, my man and I had communication but I find out more misbehaviour of him. I told him that I have to break the relationship so I can move on and find a better man that is really for me. He did not helped me financially to raise our daughter. He was irresponsible, because of that, I told myself there was no chance of getting together again.
I really tried to close the chapter by accepting a new boyfriend. I met him in Facebook. For sure somebody will say, What? Believe me or not when people always have communication, feelings and relationship will bloom and that's what I feel. Our relationship lasted for four years but decided to end it up. This was because I feel I am not secured for my future.
At this point, the father of my daughter had called and asking for forgiveness, we have to forgive and forget the past and moving on. He told me, he doesn't care anymore even if I'm going to get marry with someone else. Then, what's next? He was looking at some pictures and comments that were displayed on my Facebook page with my ex-bf, then blocked me afterwards.

He then sent messages to our daughter, saying he was hurt by reading those messages. OMG... there he goes again, instead of clarifyng the issues between me and him, he just made a conclusion without saying anything.
Well, there is a big problem here it's called "communication". If he only tried to talk about it, I can surely clarify for him. What can I do? I have to move on, everything happens for a reason and for the fact that, the love I dream is not meant to be...

Ivy Fairy Mini-Garden and Benefits of Ivy Plants

12:45 pm 0 Comments

Another collection of plant that is now growing in my mini-garden is Ivy. So far she's doing well despite my children keep on touching the fairy, mushroom and everything that they see on the pot. My youngest Angelo tried to decorate also with his toys!!! He has also his own imagination.

Making miniature garden is one way of helping me relieve from stress everyday and of course collecting houseplants. Making them is just my newly found hobby to continue living with my art of imagination. 



The picture on the side is the original miniature ivy fairy miniature garden with mushroom fairy house, yet my youngest Angelo, took and broke it. So, I just replace it with mushroom. If ever I have time to make the mushroom house, I will try to make it again... probably summer I hope so.
How did I make this Ivy-Fairy Miniature Garden? Making it is very simple, simply gather all the materials you need. Most of the pot people are using have holes to drain the water so roots of the plants are not soak in the water that causes to rot and plants will die however, you ca use also non-holes pot. It just be careful not to over water the plants. In this Mini garden I am using bowl. 
For no holes pot, what I did? was I put gravel on the bottom of the bowl/pot, then add the dirt, the gravel serves as a drainage. Water the plants once every two weeks.
I am not an expert about this but it works for me, so maybe it works for you too. Happy gardening.
I'm collecting plants because what I know will helps purify the air inside the house. Of course, as I'm into this hobby, I started researching if there are other benefits for having this plants. I was really surprised because Ivy plants has a lot of health benefits. In the website Organic Facts, there are 6 Impressive Benefits listed such as:
  • Anti-inflammatory Effects
  • Detoxifies the body
  • Skin Care
  • Relieves Congestion
  • Prevent Cancer
  • Anti-bacterial properties
Wow, I never thought that these plant have these listed benefits, AMAZING!!! 
English Ivy is also listed as number one best-air purifying plant by NASA because it is most efficient plant in absorbing formaldehyde.
By the way, there are different types of Ivy, I have had 3 kinds unfortunately, one died, the other one; trying to survive and this one on the picture.

Wandering Jew Plant

9:06 am 0 Comments
Wandering Jew plant is one of my houseplant collections, this plant is beautiful & very easy to care & propagate.

I started this plant with very tiny cuttings I found in Walmart when they were cleaning. I never thought, it will grow easily & rapidly.

The picture posted on the right was a tiny little piece, I thought she is dying and need to be rescued. I took her home hoping she will live and continue to grow. I always moist the soil and continue caring for this little fellow. I observe its doing great as the days go along.

Below is the picture after 4 days. WOW!!!, I saw life in my Wandering Jew plant. There's hope, I'm so happy.

 So,  I observed this plant is very easy to propagate & to take care of. We don't need to be expert or have the so-called green thumb to have this in the soil. Just water it every time you see that the soil is dry.

As I became attached to this plant, I made a researched online and I found that that there are so many varieties and they are all beautiful.

Now, I want to collect them all unfortunately I don't know where to buy the rest of the varieties I like.

By the way, the last picture posted is the same Wandering Jew plant, this is the picture after 5 months. I already made a cuttings on it and started a new plants. They are already growing also. I will post he update soon for the new plants from cuttings.

According to Wikipedia, Ficus elastica, the rubber figrubber bushrubber treerubber plant, or Indian rubber bushIndian rubber tree, is a species of plant in the fig genus, native to East India, Nepal, Bhutan, Burma, China (Yunnan), Malayia & Indonesia. The it has become naturalized in Sri Lanka & the West Indies.
This is a large tree,usually grow outside but can adapt also indoor with bright light. Nowadays, rubber plant is a common houseplant.

Rubber tree plant is added to my houseplant collections. It is a Variegated Rubber Tree Plant, bought in Plant shop at Atwater Market... I had this plant before given by a neighbor but sadly died when my 4 yrs old baby pee on the plant many times //but that's okay.

By the way, the information on the right side is from Wikipedia, I duly recognized & give the credits to it.

Rubber tree plant is one of my favorite houseplant thus, I've been looking & searching where to buy fortunately, I found it in the Atwater Market after searching all the plant shops out there. I was stunned the beauty of it. I remember the one I had was very green but this new plant I have has white on the leaves & they call it Variegated Rubber Tree. I'm so happy!!!

So, now how to keep Rubber Tree plant alive? For me, it's really challenging because of my little one who keep on killing my plants. He don't do it in purpose though, he just like to play, cutting the leaves with scissors or just picking them. I have to constantly watching him & keep on reminding him not to touch.

Well so much for that, according to the information I gathered online, rubber tree plant doesn't like to sit in water, so make sure to re-pot it in the well-draining soil & good aerated potting soil.

How much light does this plant need? Most of the plants wants light for sure & so this Rubber plant, she loves very bright light, some info tells not to expose in the direct sunlight but mine I put it in the window where the sunlight hit directly to the plant but I do make sure that it watered enough.

When do you water & fertilize this plant? It really depends, but for me I always touch the soil, if it is dry I water it with lukewarm water. I never use cold water to my plants except my mini-orchids. Lukewarm water is the best to water my plants.

You can choose to re-pot the plant right away or wait until the plant settled & use to the new environment. Some says, if you don't re-pot the plant it will not grow, maybe true but in my case it's not true because until now I did not re-pot, it's growing. But that doesn't mean, I will not re-pot at all. I just don't have time to do it.


This is my Rubber Tree Plant, isn't she beautiful? I paid $29.99 plus tax of course. Lolz!!!

Price is worthy,
plant is healthy
grows beautifully.

This was our old aquarium, I almost throw this out into the garbage because it was leaking. Been moving for so many times, then I decided to empty it out when there was a constant water on the side.

There were plenty of Guppies on this tank and were transferred to our big Fish tank. While this empty aquarium dump at the back nearly thrown outside for a garbage, I decided to make a terrarium and this is it. My Fairy Mini Garden Terrarium.

Love From A Distance

You’re in my thoughts and in my dreams
Beautiful smiles that beams
Through the darkness as it seems
Sun shines above that gleams

Dear heart believe it’s true
That someone fall for you
Love from a distance I know
Difficult to reach, makes me blue.        
                                                             
                           Though we are far away                        
But our heart beats in one way
Direct to the path, hope one day
Miracle will happen, we will stay.

You are my sun that shines
In this gloomy life confines
Giving me inspiration every times
My love for you is divine.

I'll Let You Go

7:46 pm 0 Comments

Wondering what's in your mind
Looking at the distance like blind
words to utter you signed
Deliver them through wind but declined.

You're near yet so far
Reaching you is like a star
Impossible to reach, leave some scar
In this humble heart of mine.

Tears slowly flowing
Unbearable pain is now burning
Fire of sorrow is now glowing
Our love is now falling?

Anguish heart want to reach you
Your presence stood still, I knew
Can't see my heart is dying through
Yet, I still let you go.

We should cherish the beauty
Of life God created solemnly
Enjoy the priceless gift awesomely
And don't forget to pray wholeheartedly.

Life is seemingly unfair as we know
We all face troublesome as we grow
Yet, life is too short not to let go
And too precious to fro.

Life is so beautiful, yes it is!
Feel the love, the joy & the grace
A divine gift from our heavenly king to embrace
To enjoy & share in this lovely place.
