Her First Hello

Sharing you the first glimpse of Athena Louise 10 hours after she was born (February 6, 2015).

She yawned, looked at me, and got back to sleep.

Sweet daughter mine!

What this Little Girl Did Made Me Jumped for Joy!

I am a first-time mommy. All are new to me. There are sacrifices, change of priorities, and blissful experiences which right now I know I wouldn't trade for anything else.

We celebrated Mother’s Day last May 10. I am happy to be with my daughter during that day. She just turned three months old last 6^th of May and her Daddy and I are very proud that she is growing fast and advance.

That morning, I know that she got a lot of sleep because her mood is light. She laughed at me and she didn't cry. After a while, she wanted to lie on her front so I helped her. I turned on the camera on video mode and talked to her like we always do.

Watch how happy she is and how she say some words I didn't expect her to.

Have you notice the last few seconds of the video? I told Athena that I love her. And it seems like she wanted to answer me the same words. To many, it’s just baby’s funny little noises. But to me, it’s what can be the sweetest words a child could say to her mother.

Happy Mother’s Day to all!

I am Happy

What is the best feeling in the world?

Think about it.

Is it when you won millions of money in lottery? Or when you graduated in College with flying colors?

Is it when your girl finally said "YES" to your proposal? Or is it when your father bought you a house or a car?


People change.


I too, have changed.

How I view happiness also changes.

When I was at my teenage, I see happiness as a result. It is something you get in return for having something that you want, or something that you need. Like a child. Give him a chocolate or lollipop and he will jump for joy! That's happiness for me.That is how I think it is.

It's not now.

I still see happiness as a result. Just shifted a little. Different perspective.

Happiness is contentment. Yes. That's it!

Being with someone you love? Wow.

Happiness is the feeling of being alive, being loved, and being free. It comes from within, they say. And I too, must agree. Inspiration is happiness. A loving husband and a wonderful daughter by my side makes me realized, life is worth living for.


Happiness is a blessing from God. That is indeed the best feeling in the world.
