COVER STORY

Some people dream of success while others wake up and WORK HARD for it….

After 20 years of being with other different families all over HK and living in big houses, we thought na ayaw na nya umuwi sa Pinas, kala nga namin nanalo na sa lotto and nakabili na ng sariling bahay sa Hongkong kase parang sa HK na nya gusto mag for-good. And she even became a little bit maarte…ayaw na ng mainit na bansa! Magulo daw ang bahay namin, take note with m a t c h i n g r o s y cheeks at kulang na lang mag i n g l e s h a b a n g s i n e s e r -m u n a n kami.

CHAT SACE

Ended her single life at the age of 17, had her bunsoy at 31, strug-gled with life for over 20 years in HK, where she filled her bulsa sa balat and her wallet na maswerte to build her long lost mega dream own house…ang bahay ni chat.

We know how many attempts and how much reservation fees has been wasted in trying to acquire even a small property that we can call our own. Maybe it was still not in god’s perfect time then. Money was just enough to buy a lot in Manila Memorial Dasmarinas... well, hindi na rin masama.

Last 2009, she then decided to go back home for good, kahit hindi sinasabi, pinaparinig lang, we alll know that she was almost hopeless and frustrated that at her age, wala pa r in kaming naipupundar lahat. Then there comes this rare opportunity of seeing a property in Pacita, where we always felt was a very ideal place for us. The property was not that impressive at first, luma, walang kulay, magulo, but what really caught our attention is the land area of 363 sqm. She was so excited about this property kaya ayun, luma-bas ang lahat ng nakatago sa kas-ingitsingitan ng wallet nyang maswerte and bulsa sabalat.Me pera pala ang donya! Hmmmm….

All the resources and efforts were put into this house. It’s just a big relief seeing what you call the REAL FRUITS OF LABOR. Credits also goes to the designer and engineer Miel Regulto and our Manager, Welder and Tatay Rolando Sace for spending time and efforts in the full renovation. Randy and Weng for the never ending finan-cial support and the rest for Moral Sup-port. :-)

malilimutang mga Kurot, Hampas,

Sigaw at Palo ng Kahit anong

bagay n mahawakan mo. Halos

Gusto ko noong magtanim ng

Sama ng Loob PERO habang

Lumalakad ang mga panahon,

namulat ang isip ko na ang mga

'yon ay tanda ng Disiplina mo s

akin.

Ganun pa man, Alam na alam

kong NAPAKARAMI mong naga-

wang mabuti sa aking BUHAY

Hanggang sa kung nasaan man

ako ngayon. Mula ng ako ay nag-

Japan. Hindi ako makakarating

doon ng apat na ulit kung hindi s

Supporta mo.

Sino ba ang mag-aakala na

makakarating ako hanggang dito

s Italia. Yan ang higit na

Itinatanaw ko ng Loob s'yo at

tatanawin ko habang ako'y

nabubuhay.

Gusto kitang pasalamatan s

LAHAT ng mga ito, sa lahat ng

mga SAKRIPISYO mo s am-

ing Lahat. Alam naming HIGIT

p sa pagiging -Ina ang nagawa

mo para amin.

Bilang anak, Kahit GANITO

Lang ako, umasa kang ga-

gawin ko ang lahat sa abot ng

aking makakaya para maging

bahagi ng iba pa nating mga

PANGARAP s hinaharap.

HAPPY HAPPY

BIRTHDAY

And I Love You...MOM !

Naaalala ko pa nung una tayong nagka-oven… Ang una kong nakita at natikman na ginawa mo ay Devil’s Food Cake na natutunan mo sa pag-aattend mo ng mga libreng cooking at baking lessons sa Ajino-moto Cooking Plaza sa Buendia, Makati. Dun ako unang nagka-interes sa pagbe-bake. Pinalista mo ko sa isang linggong baking class for teenagers habang bakasyon pagka-graduate ko ng grade 6. At dun ko

and Dietetics), at least yung pagbebake na pinamulat mo, kinarir ko.

Hindi madaling maging single parent at alam ko na isa ako sa mga alalahanin mo. At kahit madalas tayo magtalo dahil sa sitwasyon namin ng mga anak ko, di mo rin ako natitiis, lalo na pag para sa mga anak ko. Alam ko yang ganyang pakiramdam dahil

na-diskubre na me talent pala ako

sa pagbe-bake. Nung una akala ko

ganun lang, hindi ko akalain na yun

ang magtataguyod balang araw sa

mga anak ko bilang isang single par-

ent. Kahit di ko natapos yung kur-

song gusto mo para sa akin (B.S.

Nursing), at yung kursong gusto ko

para sa sarili ko (B.S. Nutrition

Nanay na rin naman ako. At sayo ko yata namana ung pagiging masungit ko sa mga anak ko. Diba nga, ako rin ang nakamana ng pag-aasawa mo ng maaga. Mas naging maswerte ka nga lang ksi malayong malayo ang Tatay sa napangasawa ko. At sa lahat ng mga pinagdaanan naming ng mga anak ko, di mo rin naman kami pinabayaan.

FROM:

BIE!!!! ASAN KA??!!??

Kung merong biglang makaka-

sagot ng telepono ko at ma-

bubungaran ng ganyang salita,

at take note, walang HELLO!

dalawang bagay lang yan…

una: magiisip kung galit ang

tumawag o kaya pangalawa:

me emergency kaya tuma-

wag... pero isa lang ang sigu-

rado jan...NANAY ko yan!

Suplada, maldita, strikta,

mataas ang boses...di na

kailangan magtaka kung

kanino ko nagmana!

Alam ko kung ano ung mga pi-

nagdaanan mo sa pagpapalaki

sa aming lahat. Alam ko kung

ano yung mga sakripisyo mo.

Alam ko din na hindi mo ko pi-

nabayaan sa mga panahong

wala akong maasahan dito.

Alam ko na kahit naiinis ka eh di

mo pa rin kami matitiis.

Nay, aso’t pusa man tayo lagi ta-

tandaan mo na nag iisa ka! Wala

kang katulad! I pa raffle ka man,

tataya pa rin ako dahil alam

kong hindi ako magiging kung

ano ako kung wala ung mga

salita, kurot at palo mo ng walis

tambo.

DONYA Happy BIRTHDAY!!!

WE LOVE YOU!

Nay, I miss you. I miss how you

tell me stories about your life,

your plans, stuff about Memol

and Arcy, or how things were

before when I wasn't yet

around. Thank you for making

me feel welcome and loved.

Please know that I will always

be grateful to you and your

whole family for all the kindness

you have shown me in the past

3 years. Thank you also for tak-

ing care of Arcy and Memol. I

really admire and look up to you

Nanay for taking care of your

family.

Nay, dahil pareho tayong Leo -

naniniwala ako magkasing

ganda tayo hindi nga lang tayo

magkasing kulay.. :)

Magkasing ganda tayo lalo na

sa kagandahan ng loob..

Mayaman tayo.. Mayaman tayo sa mga taong nagmamahal sa

atin. :)

Love You Nay!

Rosario

Verdis Sace. Rosario, Chat,

Donya Chat,

Donya Rosario -

these are just a

few of the names that we fondly

call her. But among all those

nicknames I would say "Nanay"

fits her most. It's not because of

her age nor the number of chil-

dren she has brought up into

this world but simply because

calling her nanay fits her per-

sonality of giving unconditional

love to us.

Aries You're winding down from an especially hectic June, dear Aries,

but life definitely isn't slow in July! There are more errands to run, busy mental work, and plenty of diverse activities for you. Your heart, however, is with home and family, and making changes that help to bring more peace and beauty to your domestic life. You are taking special care of your personal possessions and

you feel more stable on practical levels. This is an excellent month for financial rewards, promotional activities, and career advance-ment.

Taurus July is strong for gaining support, both financial and moral, dear

Taurus. Your powers of persuasion are excellent. Close partnerships grow, and some of you might form new partnerships. You take better charge of your finances, particularly money shared with others or derived from other sources than your personal income. Trips could be especially rewarding, providing a

pleasant breather from pressures in your life. You have a strong interest in broadening your mental experiences in general, and finding expression of your personality through them, perhaps through higher education or exploring different philosophies.

Gemini Friends are seeking you out in July, dear Gemini, and you are in

high demand! Asserting yourself comes naturally. Motivation to get going on pet projects and for pursu-ing your dreams is strong, so take advantage of this steady flow of energy. You're unlikely to run out of steam easily, particularly in the first week of the month. What you begin now tends to have long-term potential

and can go far. A relationship may deepen due to the resolution of a long-standing problem. Some of you may enter a successful business partnership.

Cancer Friendships can be especially pleasant and supportive this month,

dear Cancer. A friend might be an important player in achieving your goals. Partnerships tend to be more goal-oriented, free-spirited, and tolerant in July. Some of you may take a friendship into unexplored romantic territory, or meet a significant person through a friend or group association. Relationships with children grow,

and opportunities to have fun expand. You are also more focused and ambitious when it comes to your work and health and fitness programs. Self-care efforts thrive in July.

Leo July can be a highly productive month for you, dear Leo. Your

sometimes Herculean efforts, and your close attention to performance and details, will not go unrewarded! Some of your most natural talents meet with reward and acceptance. You are able to focus when it comes to creative output, and could work quite doggedly at a particular hobby or craft now, perhaps from behind the

scenes. While July can have many practical benefits, personal advances are also likely. Romantic relationships deepen and inten-sify in July, and home life may be easier and happier.

Virgo Communications and transportation issues improve in July,

dear Virgo. Studies are successful, and you are more ambitious and go-getting in your career. Those Virgos in the creative arts can inspire others with what they create, and can reach a broader audience. Romantic opportunities might

come from people of an entirely different background or culture, or through education and travel, this month. You are especially organized in your home life, and more compas-sion and tolerance emerge in your relationships with family. You could feel more "in charge" of domestic matters.

Libra Career matters take priority in your life in July, dear Libra. You

might enjoy strong opportunities for presenting your ideas with charm, and you could find that your influence and powers of persuasion are enhanced. You might also enjoy benefits or support this month, particularly for home or home improvement endeavors. Some of you could acquire property. Job offers might

arrive, or there could be improved working conditions and salary increases now. Any studies or skills improvement efforts can reap wonderful benefits down the road, so apply yourself as much as possible.

Scorpio This month, the emphasis is on strengthening a close relationship,

dear Scorpio. You learn a lot through your experiences and interactions, and the lines of commu-nication open up between you and a special someone. There can be a real learning experience with someone with whom you can bounce ideas off and come to a better understanding of how you define yourself.

Creative partnerships might be formed in July. Your financial picture improves, and you could find work in the communications industry especially fruitful. Negotiations tend to work in your favor.

Sagittarius Your sign is known for a love of adventure, dear Sagittarius, but

recently you're finding more benefits from staying closer to home and concentrating on practical matters. You might enjoy financial benefits from increased attention to work in July. You can be very focused on what truly matters to get ahead. Your natural talents are likely to be utilized � and appreciated - in your

work. Some of you might find an opportunity to work from home, or in domestic-related fields. It's a strong month for feeling productive and valued.

Capricorn Your romantic and creative worlds expand and grow this month,

dear Capricorn. You are learning to express yourself playfully and creatively without apology, and more willing to take some personal risks in order to do so. You have a stronger ability to hold the attention of an audience. Love, love affairs, and other social activities help to enhance a healthy self image. You more deter-

minedly pursue your personal goals and at the same time enjoy contributing to a team or group effort. Your confidence about pursu-ing your dreams is on the increase.

Aquarius Your personal life tends to overshadow your professional life and

material activities these days, dear Aquarius. Periods when you completely relax and retreat from everyday affairs will be especially beneficial and desirable now. You are motivated to pursue recreational activities this month. Interestingly, taking these "time outs" can help improve your professional life as you release self-

imposed pressures. You are looking for more authenticity in your associations in general, weeding out those connections that feel too superficial. You are bound to make some fortunate connections that benefit you for years to come.

Pisces You are likely to enjoy more opportunities through your com-

munications and contact with others this month, dear Pisces. Chances are excellent that you will find a lovely confidante. Networking opens you up to many new possibilities and ideas. More focus, determination, and intensity are brought to

your career and professional goals. Business-related travel may enter the picture or it might increase. You are reaching more people in your career, broadening your contacts or your audience, and drawing on wonderful powers of persua-sion. Educational, publishing, and promotional activities are favored in July.

JULY 2011 HOROSCOPES

Parenting Tips to Empower Parents to Interact Positively with Their Child

· Trust your feelings about how to parent your child. There are no experts, only people who can offer you ad-vice. The expert is you and every child is unique in their experience.

· Honor your child’s natural abilities. Every child is unique and needs to be recognized for the values they have within themselves.

· Be willing to be flexible while correct-ing your child. Punishments handed out while feeling frustration or anger are usu-ally overreactions to how we are feeling in the moment.

· Set firm boundaries with your child if it is necessary, but remember not every-thing is a crisis.

· Be willing to acknowledge, accept, and apologize for overreacting in a situa-tion with your child. When you are willing to admit you are wrong, you show your child how to correct their own mistakes. They will respect your authority when they are doing something inappropriate.

· Honor your child’s feelings about a person or experience. Whether a child misperceives the way something is said or done is irrelevant if it provokes emo-tion for your child. Adjust according to how your child feels; you will show your child you respect what they have to say and they will respect you for trusting their emotions.

·

· Feel free to set limits with your child. Be willing to pass on performing a task, simply because you feel you have to. Doing something in the space of not wanting to, will lead to resentment later

when you feel tired or burnt out.

· Embrace your desire to do something for yourself. When your needs are met, you will have more energy and patience to do the things your children want you to do. You must first nurture your own needs so you can nurture the needs of others in your life.

· When you are feeling emotion or up-set within yourself, acknowledge the emotion and shift the feeling before you interact with your child. We all feel anger and frustration at times, but just as we teach our children not to take out their frustrations on things, animals, or people; neither should we.

· Honor your child’s natural rhythm. Children are often rushed to do too much in this day and age which often causes their bodies stress and confusion. Give them a say in free time activities and be willing to change plans if it will bring more peace to your family.

· Encourage your child to make choices. Choices allow your child to have independence and makes learning more meaningful. Explain to your child that every experience comes with a choice and assist them with making healthy ones.

Enjoy each moment and the rest will come.

Dear Mother,

There are times when only a Mother's love Can understand our tears,

And soothe our disappointments And calm away our fears. There are times when only a

Mother's love Can share the joy we feel

When something we have dreamed about Suddenly is real.

There are times when only a Mother's love Can help us on life's way

And inspire in us, the confidence We need from day to day.

Mother, thank you for your heart, faith and hope And all your steadfast love

You were fashioned by the Angels And sent from God above…

Happy Birthday!!!

Wish you all the best....God bless!!
