It pays off to be patient and good!

When I was still on my teenage years, working, I used to weigh my happiness through the number of bags I have, branded clothes I have in my closet, cellphone unit and dinning in to fancy restaurants. Because I am single, it is so easy then to just buy what ever I want. So many likes, so many wants. When I moved to Dubai, I started splurging on to gadgets like laptop, dslr camera, shoes and live like a tourist. It was one of the best days of my life. So carefree!

Now that I am a mother, a stay-at-home mom to Kiehla, housewife, no means of income, I learned how to value every centavo I have in my pocket. What makes me happy is simply seeing my Kiehla smile. No more shopping for me. If I do, it is definitely for my angel. My happiness rise whenever I am at any toy store, at department store's baby section, at Jollibee, taking photos of my bubbly little girl. If I have a thousand in my pocket, I'd rather save it or buy Kiehla a new toy or a shirt or perhaps a new pair of cute little shoes.

I don't have any branded stuff right now except for my 1 year old lacoste bag given by my mom and my gadgets. I am so simple now. I feel like my world turned 360 degrees after the day I found out I was pregnant. But now of course I am happier, contented and fulfilled because of Kiehla even without nothing.

I celebrated my birthday last Sunday. I must say that he who really waits receive much blessings. My mother gave me a Brown LongChamp bag and my husband wrapped a Michael Kors tote bag. Spell happiness! I love you mama and Kiel, until my next birthday. I promise to take care and value these things.
