Oucccccccccccchhhhhhhhh!!!

TRUST EACH OTHER is the KEY to a HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP

It's been a while that I haven't updated my blog due to some important tasks.

At 41, I can't hide it but I am very uncomfortable with my PMS. There are tantrums due to unstable emotions and some backaches, headaches and heartaches! http://www.marilynglenville.com/

At this period of time, I feel like a paranoid thinking about my husband who is so far away. I can't help but think that perhaps he goes out with his friends at work having 2 bottles of beer somewhere else....Perhaps in a bar? Perhaps in a night spot? Perhaps in a Resort? ....My feelings and thoughts are uncontrollable and I begin to text a message to my husband interrogating him like a Police Officer! OMG!...What am I doing??? I know I am hurting him...but I don't know why I am doing this!!!

I did some research and now I understand the reason why. I am trying to prepare myself at least 10 days prior to my monthly cycle. My sister in-law, gave me some advice to take Vit B complex. I also did some pampering of myself...I went to the hairdresser....I color my hair for a new look...and I begin to do something in trimming down....MY HUSBAND REMINDS ME TO TRUST HIM FOR THE SAKE OF OUR FAMILY... (He swears he is not doing a thing to hurt me)

I humbly asked sorry ...and recently, I am glad there is an improvement in me....I sensed it and I can feel it!

My thoughts on Michael Jackson and how my family liked his music

MJ is a very unique artist...he is so rare and I like most of his music. He showed great concern to the world, children and other people. His contribution to the world is undying! People from different ages, races and status love his music. MJ's music will not perish...it will live forever from one generation to the next.

My son's favorite song is "Heal the world", my daughter's "You are not alone", mine are "Billy Jean", "Man in the Mirror", "They don't care about us" to name a few. My husband likes "We are the world" and my parents like his Jackson 5 Album with the hit songs "Ben" and "I'll be there". I remember when my son was only one year old, he would dance like crazy each time I played the music "Bad" and his favorite lyric that time was "awwww!" What can you expect from a toddler? hehehe

Knowing that MJ started singing at the age of 5, he missed a normal childhood life. He was at his very tender age when he became a superstar.

My heart softens and my eyes begin to shed tears when I remember how difficult and so demanding his life was. He became so rich with material things but he never lived a normal life just the way we do.

Most people are fanatics of MJ. Many people love his music but there are also people who see the different side of MJ's life and hated him so much. But I don't care! Only God knows and only God will pass the judgment on him. Who's perfect in this world, anyway?

When I watched his video on "We are the world" recording session, Michael's Voice was like an angel...it's very light, very soft, so cool like a breeze touching the gentle cheek of a baby. Very soothing and heavenly! And look at him, he's so polite so courteous, full of patience and very respectful. I saw a very calm person and there's so much humility in him.

MJ was an endangered specie like Elvis Presley. And now they became extinct!
But only their flesh vanished away. His body came from dust and to dust it shall return!

But....definitely, Michael Jackson's music will live forever!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO MY HUSBAND

My husband is my other HERO next to my father!

Probably, my husband allocated 95% of his time at work and 5% for the family. Yet...we all understand him because we always LOVE him and MISS him so much!!!

Each time he availed of his Holiday vacation on Christmas and New Year, we all feel heaven when he is HOME!

All his 47 years were spent in school and work! He is a workaholic kind of man but he never missed praying everyday especially to his dear Patron Sto. NiƱo de Cebu. He never missed calling or sending text messages even when he is out in the mountains of Panay! My husband is the best man I knew. He carries with him his prayer book wherever he goes and I know he showed so much care and respect to his very old holy book.

Out of his love for work, he experienced one horrible moment in his life when he was kidnapped by the rebels somewhere in the mountains of Mindanao area. Thanks GOD he was released after giving the demands of the rebels from his office.

My husband is a SURVIVOR!!!

Indeed he is a survivor. He also survived from two consecutive tragedies being a widower not just once but twice! (Both died of cancer. His first wife passed away (she had breast cancer)after five years of their marriage leaving him a son, a daughter and twins. His second wife (the younger sister of his first wife, died of lung cancer after eight years of their married life. It was the rightful choice of his parents-in-law to arrange the marriage between him and the younger sister of his first wife to take care of the kids very well being a Registered Nurse rather than marrying someone with no relation to the children would be hard).

Sometimes, I am contemplating..."Lord is this Your way of giving me my soul mate and one true love?" He is the perfect partner for me because he is the missing piece of puzzle in my life after 14 years of living as a single parent with my two kids (my first marriage was declared by our court null and void) I am a survivor too!

Well, well, well...Mr. Survivor met his Ms Survivor and both lived happily ever after!

HAPPY FATHERS' DAY DADI!!! WE LOVE U SO MUCH! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!

My Father, my hero!

Say bye, bye to May and hello to June!

Soon it will be Father's Day. Remember the date it's June 21 (Sunday).
I'm quite sad, I was not able to write something about my mother on Mother's day. That was the time when I was having some emotional battle inside me and I feel so sorry about that. Anyways....I'll make it up with my mother on her birthday!

Here comes another season of the year. In Philippines, we only have Sunny and Rainy Seasons. Rain starts to pour down and everybody needs to get their umbrellas, boots and raincoats again! It's June, a rainy month but a special month because it is also the birth month of Dr. Jose Rizal, Philippine's National Hero and my father too, he's a hero in my life as well.

At 77, he is losing weight, hair turned so gray and skin becomes wrinkled and full of freckles and age spots grow all over him. He does some walking early in the morning to exercise his aching muscles. There is one thing my father loves to do...it's talking...talking...talking! Most of the time he experience a memory gap...funny...poor father but he still loves to talk!

Most of my father's friends, co-workers and classmates at his age had gone away. He is the only one left behind. Aside from strolling and talking my father is fond of playing Solitaire when he feels bored.

He always recalled things in the past and compare them to present life particularly when he heard over the news so many things about graft and corruption. My father did one BIG thing in his life when he was still in his late 20's. Can anyone imagine returning millions of pesos to somebody who doesn't even know that such money exists?
It happened when his employer died. My father was asked by his boss to give the money to his wife when he is gone.

The story goes this way. My father's employer left a bagful of money bills in the car's compartment whose wife has no idea at all. His Boss died and left that money to my father's custody. Without second thought, he took the bag and gave it to the wife of his deceased boss. My father was so HONEST that he obediently did the request of his late boss. One suitcase full of Peso Bills worth millions was given to Mrs. Fe F. without a single bill taken!!!

If you' re in my father's shoes, would you do the same?

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! I LOVE YOU TATAY!

Today's Generation

What a very busy world we have today! Is this the kind of life everybody wish to live for? Today's generation promotes IMPATIENCE! Almost everything goes for "INSTANT". We have no time to cook at home where an ideal family should gather and eat together for a hearty meal, we have fast foods anyway. We have no time to exercise, thus obesity and other cardio related diseases attacked us so easily. There are instant fat burner pills and teas available everywhere, anybody could avail them, no need for doctor's prescription. These are just a few of the many things happening around us. I always heard from my father his sighs when comparing the big difference of life nowadays and life in his younger days.

With the fast pace of life we have, here is a piece of advise from a 77 year old man, "Wherever the world will take you someday, "Family should come First!"

"How Well do I know Men (particularly my husband)?"

I took this quiz with the result Excellent!! (100%). Getting this result means:
Fantastic!! I really do know men pretty Well!! Either I'm a master at what men really want or I've blatantly cheated! Or I'm trying to find out if this quiz is authentic enough! whatever it is... I am Congratulated, I'm an Expert on that pathetic species called "Man"...opposite sex of a woman, definitely not the "bi's".

"Family Matters Most!" just a reminder to all spouses out there! Be able to know your partner very well. I possess an invisible radar and antenna of my own that links directly in my heart. Mostly, I can tell whether my husband is telling the truth or not! I'm not a "fortuneteller" but something is creeping in my veins when there is something wrong especially when my husband is telling a lie.
