Family Matters Most

As a kid, I recall how I sit down with my parents at our living room, as we watch movie together or play the family's favorite board game. Scrabble, chess, monopoly, and word factory have been part of my daily life as a 10-year-old then. Thus, playing those classical games gave me not just minutes, not hours of fun and happiness, but playing these games with my parents and siblings is our bonding. Young as I am then, I know the importance of that quality time with my family. I believe of its value... its essence. I believe in it and I have seen its importance. Praying together, laughing together, eating together, going out together. Aside from constant "I love you's" and countless hugs and kisses, this is of utmost importance.

I am aware of how lucky I am to be blessed with my family. I don't know how other people rates happiness, or where do they base it, but for me, happiness has always been home.. because home is where my heart is.

Now, I have my own family. I am married to a very loving husband, and our good Lord blessed us with two babies.. a 2 ½ year old, and a 6-month-old. How I have been brought up by my parents will also be passed on to my kids. I know the values to impart to them, and I know how to impart it. Young as they are, they will be taught the real things that matters most in this world.
