Convenience of motorbike

Leave a reply

Hubby got his motorbike three years ago as company’s payment for his unpaid vacation leaves. I was hesitant to have that motorbike at home because I don’t want hubby to drive it to work. You know how unsafe our public roads for motorbike drivers especially at night. He passes Commonwealth Avenue everyday. And you know that Commonwealth Avenue is accident prone especially for motorbike riders.

For a while, I allow hubby to drive the vehicle. But on his own, he decided not to bring the motorbike anymore because he thoughtit’s more convenient to ride a bus or Fx on his way home. Imagine he can sleep or relax listening to his mp3 while travelling. We useour motorbike these days as our service in going to the market and run errands. Just last summer, we used it to visit La Mesa Eco Park to save for transportation fare. Our motorbike has been a great help to us, but we haven’t applied for any insurance especially auto insurance for it.

Save for a rainy day

I took a little break from what I’m doing to look for inexpensive health insurance at cheapinsurance123.com. In times like this I can never be sure of what will happen tomorrow. I know how it is like when someone is in the hospital. My son was hospitalized in 2004 due to Kawasaki Syndrome. We don’t even have a medical insurance to cover the medical expenses. Our savings was used up to pay for the hospital bill. After my son was discharged from the hospital we still need to send him for follow up check-up and to purchase maintenance medicine to avoid complications. A health insurance could have spared us from incurring more debts. The health insurance that I’m looking for is just to keep us prepared for the rainy day.

A glimpse into motherhood

This is a post-Mother’s Day entry. Originally, the questions were provided by Marce Jade when she requested her friends and co-Marce to write something about motherhood based on the following questions.

This is just a glimpse of who I am as a mom I or what I think of motherhood based on my experience.  Here we go…

Who are you?

I’m Yami. I’m a stay-at-home mom, wife and blogger.

What is motherhood like?

Motherhood has changed my life forever.

When did you know you are ready for motherhood?

I’m already 26 when I got married. I thought it was the right age to have a baby and I can’t wait to give my husband the best gift that I can give him. I’m so excited that I can bear even the pungent after-taste of pregnancy vitamins…

What challenges did you face during the first years of being a mother?

I have to sleep late or wake up in the wee hours of the night to mix baby milk or change diapers and when they are under the weather. During the day, I have my mom and a yaya to look after my kids while we are at work. Yes, I used to be a working mom.

How many children do you have and do you want more?

I have two kids who are both taller than me now (Naomi, 13; Khalil, 10). We have no plans of having another baby because it’s no longer safe for my age and we can’t afford to support another child.

What’s the best thing in being mother/ parent?

The best part of being a parent is when you know you have raised your children the way you want them to be.

Is there anything you dislike about being a mother/parent?
I’m easy to anger. I really don’t like myself when I’m angry. I tend to spoil my kids. I also dislike myself when I can’t keep a promise to my kids sometimes..
Despite the high and low moments of being a mother or parent, there was never a moment that I regretted being a mom to my kids.

What advice would you give to new mothers?

Take each day with your new baby as it comes. Everything about motherhood comes naturally. Although there are books or elders to refer to once in a while, the best teacher will be you.

What are your plans for the future for you, your family?

We hope to give our children a better future.
For myself, I wish to receive more online opportunities to help augment the family income.
