The Growing Family

 

It's April 13, 2025 already, its been a long while I did not write anything in my blog here. Oh, well at this time blogging is not popular anymore. People tend to love doing the vlogging, you know posting with videos. 

But anyway, so much things to say but for now, this weekend will be a graduation ceremony for my kids, specifically Xavier and Xander while Xylon's will be next week. And for Xavier's graduation I will be maybe talking, sharing a story as a mother. I am asked to do a speech (as a response for the student speech) for the school's program "Tribute to Parents". 

So, maybe I will be writing an update here, hopefully, well if I won't get lazy and ofcourse if I wont forget.

Tata for now.!!

It's me

New Year

So long, after 2 years from being cut from outside because of Covid restrictions, finally a new family picture is taken. This time new additional member of the Nonweiler family. Another one is my nephew.

I gotta write again to awaken my passion in writing stories, essays and all.

Precious Gem That No Parents Won't Do Anything

Left to Right: Xavier, Xander and Xylon

As a parent, I do everything I can just to make my kids happy. Not to make them a spoiled brat but I just want them to experience things I never experience when I was a kid. I am not saying that I have a bad childhood memories. I tell you, my childhood was one heck of an adventure. But I am not talking about me, so I won't do story telling here.

As a mother, I feel complete and at peace every time I see my kids happy. I am thankful with my husband because he is very much hands-on with the kids.

To me, I feel whole. A mother, a wife and a friend to my kids. There is no time I will get tired of taking care of them. I know kids are kids, there are times they had fights over something stupid (I do the same with my brother when I was a kid) but I always be the mediator. That is what mothers do. Sometimes it is frustrating but I won't give up being a mother to them. They are the most precious gem I have in this world. They are the reason of all the things I am doing right now. They are my joy and my reasons to keep moving everyday.

As you see I have three wonderful boys. They are my X boys. Why X?.... well, as the oldest is Xavier which graduating next year, and soon we will be going to have a junior high. My gosh time surely flies so fast. I have Xylon the second, my math genius. He got first place in District Level during the Math Challenge. Made me so proud Momma. The Youngest, Xander. Another genius and handsome genes. I love them all.

Well, alot of things happen in my Life

Its been so long I haven't updated anything here. Things have been change in my life. From being a teacher to being a full time mom. Well, a great update happened in my life is that we welcome a new member of the family this year. A baby boy named Xander Eli Nonweiler. Such a strong baby and smart little munchkin.

This writing will be "to be continued" because I will be doing some thing more important for now.

Life is a Twist

Life is unpredictable. No matter how confident you are right now, the achievements and the fame, it still is not a ticket for a long term satisfaction and happiness.

There is so much to tell about life. Everyone has a unique path of life. Some may have similar course but there are still small detail that will make it unique.

Sometimes I have the thought that what if I did this and that, what would be my life today, would I still be happy and receive what I have today? Would I still meet someone that would love me the way my husband love me?

I know life is sometimes unfair. But minding this unfairness will only put so much gray hair on my head. It will only bring frustrations and stress.

For all of this, I keep praying to GOD to give me more understanding. An understanding of all HIS plans for me and my life. To accept the challenge that HE put on my hand.

Praying to be a good wife, Praying to be a good mother. Praying to be a good servant.

A woman, a mother and a wife with a humble heart. Lord let me understand your plans.

A long while!!

It's been a long while I haven't posted anything in my blog. I miss writing here. I have so much to write but for the moment I don't feel to write it yet. I have been consumed on so many things. Things that I think I need to accomplish one by one.

I just want to thank GOD for everything. I know my life ahead will be a bumpy ride and I need a load of patient but I pray that I can continue to carry on.

GOD bless everyone!!

Family Trip to Hong Kong!!

Our trip to Hongkong was something memorable although it was not the most favorable. We had an unexpected payment we have to deal with the immigration at the airport. We had problem with our hotel reservation.

My husband already booked the hotel before we fly but the moment to the hotel it ends up that the room was not paid off. We had the printed copy of the booking but the hotel person insisted that they didn't charge it because they don't accept the credit card that my husband was using to purchased and pay the room. There was a long discussion for misunderstanding with the owner of the hotel and some staff that ends up us being told to find another hotel.

Since we thought that everything was paid off, so the budget we had was just enough for something we could plan for the rest of the days including foods. We had no extra budget to get for another hotel for even on that day. I was scared and felt like crying because my mind run so fast and think we will end up in the streets. And the place where we at, at that moment was not the safest place. We felt so helpless.

The good thing happened was that there was someone who I never met on person neither my husband but only on that very day, offered help despite of her being busy. I only know her sister Cristy, who was my classmate during college. Her name is Nicelyn Selatona. She was truly and angel sent by GOD for us along with her sister Cristy and the Church people. She met us in the airport and accompanied us to the hotel that we were supposed to stay. But because of the circumstance we bumped in to, she lets us stayed at her place for all days instead.

At her place we got to enjoy the beach and picking up shells and clams. The boys were enjoying swimming in the beach, trying to catch or run away from the waves. My family got to experience things we never experience. We been in a fast craft ferries....in a train....double deck buses...got wet in the rain in the first day and the last (we just think it was a blessing :) )...witnessed the thunders and lightnings strike with a strong wind that feels like would lift you up.

We are thankful for all the people who helped us and made sure we are safe and protected. I cannot put into words how thankful I am to be able to met you all and received the blessings of GOD.

The vacation was not really planned but grateful coz GOD had planned it for us. Overall it was quiet and experience.

Again from the bottom of our hearts we "Thank you" to GOD and "Thank you All!"
