Thank you: a simple
words to say and yet it means a millions to us. A polite expression used when
acknowledging a gift, service, or compliment.
Just what can a simple word do to make you smile and make
things and situation easier?
AirAsia launch a campaign recently that gives value to the
word “thank you”. A simple word that embodies a whole lot more than what we can
imagine. And it made me realized just how thankful I should be in my roller
coaster life
Life was not a bed of roses. Just when you think that I have
that fairy tale story of my life; a sudden turn happens and it becomes the
darkest day of my life
Darkness comes into my life thirteen years ago and I come to
the brick of taking my own life just so to escape the pain. For a few days, I
was only thinking of my pain and didn’t realize that there are others who are feeling
the same way that I did; my children.
My marriage was shattered, my home was about to be
sequestered by the bank and I don’t have work to support them, but thanks to my children
who became my strength I was back in my feet.
I have 5 kids and they become the wind beneath my wings and
made me soar high in the sky and made me stand again.
I was able to find a job, paid the bank and got our home
back and was able to support them in their financial needs.
With all what I been through, I want to say Thank you to my
Children. They may not be perfect but who am I to complain when I could shout
to the world that I am their mother. I may have worked hard for them but they study hard as well to make sure that all my hard work won't go to waste.
Why Should I say Thank you:
Thank you for making me proud as your mother
Thank you for being a good student
Thank you for being able to finish your studies
Thank you for being excellent on your chosen fields
Thank you for being my children
It’s you who made make realize that I have done something
good in my life
It’s you who made me realized that I am a lucky mom
My life may not be perfect but I am thankful that I am your
MOTHER.
And now that they are all ready to face the world, I was happy to be able to travel more in 2017
This is Lariza Garcia, a proud mom thanking my mom as well that she prepared me to be a mother myself
One of my daughters once asks me, how I managed to survive to support them.
I could say; I worked eight to five in a corporate world, go to Divisoria till the wee hours in the morning , go home , sleep and then wake up again to prepare breakfast and the cycle goes on.
But honestly, I myself don’t know how, but the sure thing is; FAITH IN GOD AND MY CHILDREN IS THE KEY

ReplyDeleteKudos to all mommies like us! Being a mom is not an easy task. It takes a lot of sacrifices to make our son/daughter happy. I salute you Mommy Lariza because you've been successful on raising your 5 children. :)
ReplyDeleteYong sa napanood kung video you sa tunay na buhay remnds me of mama and i shed a tears she did everything to raise us 4 sisters..... I Miss Her So Much!
ReplyDeleteTulad ng paghihirap ng isang NANAY
ReplyDeleteMula pagdadala hanggang masilayan
Patuloy mo nga akong inalagaan
Binuhat mo mabigat man o magaan
Mula paglaki nandyan ka lang sa tabi
Hindi mo iniwan kahit hating gabi
Ikaw pa nga naglalagay ng twalya
At sa iyong haplos akoy sumasaya
Ikaw na nga ay bigay ng Diyos saakin
Sana ina sa muli kong pag-gising
Ako ay iyong yakap at hagkang muli
At ang lahat ng itoy hindi pa huli
Ang pag-ibig mo ngay hindi magwawakas
Kahit ang panahon ko man ay lumipas
Alaala moy hindi ko malilimutan
At palagi nalang ako nasasaktan
Ngayong ngang matanda na ang aking ina
At siyay patuloy na nanghihina
Kami naman sayo ay mag aalaga
AT sa mga Darating pangang umaga
Nandito kami sa iyo ay sasama
Magtutulong kami kasama si ama
aawitan ka at laging sasamahan
tulad ng isang batang pinapatahan
Dito na nga ba magtatapos ang lahat?
ang lahat ba ng ito ay naging sapat?
Iniiwan mo na nga kami aking ina!
at ngayong kami ina ay lumuluha
Itong tulang ito ay ginawa ko habang nakaduty sa isang hospital para ito sa mama at papa ko na inspire ako kasi nakita ko ang hirap ng isang nanay, na binibigay lahat ng kanyang lakas maisilang lang ang sanggol na nasakanyang sinapupunan masarap isipin kapag may nanay kapa lalo na’t may gumagabay pa saiyong magulang , kaya habang nandyan pa sila pahalagahan hindi lang tuwing mothers/fathers day kundi araw-araw ,minsan kasi nababalewala natin ang ating mga magulang sabi nga ng isang quote ”We are so busy growing up, we often forget that they are also getting old”. kaya sa lahat ng mga anak magiging magulang kadin someday pahalagahan mo kung ano ang meron kapa:) Gaya nyo pong nanay may nanay din ako at napaka laking tulong talaga ng isang ina bilang parte ng pamilya tulong sila ng aking ama napalaki nila akong ganito kaya thankyou sa gaya nyong kahit walang sahod ay tuloy padin ang alaga sa aming mga anak :) happy newyear👌🏻
"Wag mong ikahiya san ka man galing." Sa napakaraming aral na iyong ibinahagi, ito ang sadyang tumatak sa akin ng husto. Napakaswerte ng iyong limang anak sa pagkakaroon ng inang napakatiyaga mabigay lang ang magandang kinabukasan nila. Dama ko ang sinseridad ng iyong puso at ang wakas mong pagmamahal sa iyong mga anak. Nakatutuwa ring malaman na hindi ka lamang isang mapagmahal na ina kundi isa ring anak na may busilak na puso para sa kanyang ina. Hindi nakapagtatakang siksik liglig at umaapaw ang mga biyayang tinatamasa mo ngayon. Walang dudang yan ang balik ng langit sa lahat ng pagsusumikap, pagmamahal at pagtanggap mo sa iyong pinagmulan. Mabuhay ka, mami Lariza.
ReplyDeleteNow, I know why you are blessed in so many ways. The reason why there are people who envy you and tries to pull you down and why you still emerge on top of everything no matter the trials and challenges that comes your way. I was teary eyed when I watched your feature in Tunay na Buhay. It was an eye opener for me as mother, daughter especially as a single parent. You are such an inspiration and I can proudly say that I am honored and proud to have met an amazing, strong, and loving person like you who is good as a mother, daughter, relative and a friend. Whatever you have sacrificed to be where you are now is something cannot be bought by money and truly priceless. Thank you Mommy Lariza for sharing your story of faith and triumph! May the good Lord bless you more in the coming years.
ReplyDeleteBakit ka nga ba gumigising sa umaga na may ngiti sa labi at dalang pag-asa? Bakit sa kabila ng madilim na kabanata ay umaasa ka na may liwanag? Bakit ka patuloy na lumalaban taliwas sa namamanhid mo ng katawan sa pagod? Minsan iniisip mo dapat magpasalamat sa iyo ang mga anak mo sa pagpapaka 'Ina' mo, ngunit ang totoo, nagpapasalamat ka sa bawat isa sa kanila na dumudugtong sa buhay mo, nagpapasaya at nagbibigay ng dahilan sa bawat pagising mo sa umaga... kalakip ng tiwala sa Diyos na sa bawat hakbang ay di ka niya pinababayaan. :) Mula sa isa ring ina --- Salamat sa kanila!

ReplyDelete"One of the greatest titles in the world is parent, and one of the biggest blessings in the world is to have parents to call mom and dad."
ReplyDeleteBeing a parent is a though job but at the same time rewarding because of our children. Even though we may have given our all and sometimes never get something in return, we still give our best shot. As the saying goes.. You'll never know how its like to be a parent until you became one. Our family is the greatest gift we could ever receive from God aside from the gift of life. You're an inspiration to every mom like me mommy Lariza. Your sacrifices for the sake of your children is truly remarkable. God will surely reward you for all your hard work. Please continue to be the best mom and keep touching the lives of your readers/followers. I pray that the last month in 2016 is filled with nothing but peace, blessings and positivity; and you walk in 2017 with bigger faith, financial blessings, good health and peace of mind!
The Greatest Love of a Mother to her children is unconditional. .. Yes, Im not a mother yet but I've seen a lot of Mom who had given a great sacrifice for their children, the same affection and compassion like my mom did and Mommy La had shown all throughout the years. Being A Mom, Nanay, Muder, Mudra Mamay, Mama, Mommy and Maders, kahit anu pa ang itawag natin sa kanila. Hindi matatawaran ang kanilang pag-aalaga, sakripisyo , oras at pagmamahal na inalay nila sa atin. Ang Ina ay ilaw ng tahanan, marami mang problema o kalungkutan, isang yakap lang ni nanay... mawawala na ang sakit, ang pag-aalinlangan at mapapalitan ng tunay na kaligayan. Thank you Mamila sa iyong blog na ibinahagi sa amin. Ito'y nagpapaalala sa akin sa aking Ina, tulad mo, siya ang isang klaseng ina, na isusubo na lang nia sa bibig ang kanin para kainin,ngunit, ibibigay pa sa kanyang Anak. Ang mga Ina kasi malambot ang puso, sensitibo sa nararamadaman ng anak, ika nga malaki ang puso at may 3rd eye,kaya, marahil malakas ang intuition o kutob. If your going to watch the Greatest Love with lead actress sylvia sa pang hapon show, Makikita at mararamdaman mo ang tunay na pagmamahal ng isang Ina. I salute all the Mothers out there esp. MOMMYLA who patiently love her/his children with no boundaries. Ang gusto ko lang sabihin sa lahat. Pahalagahan nio at mahalin ang iyong ina,habang siya ay nas tabi mo pa. Make it a habit, everyday to show how much u love and value her. Isa lang ang magiging nanay mo sa mundong ito. Say I love you, everday with matching mahigpit na yakap.Always give thanks to our dear Lord God for giving you a Mother who truly loves you.... malapit ako sa lahat ng ina at madami akong kaibigan na nanay kasi naniniwala ako sa tunay na pagmamahal nila sa kanilang anak at lahat ng kanilang sakripisyo na binibigay para sa kasiyagan ng kanilang anak. A child is a big blessing to all Mothers viceversa a Mother is a gift from up above to their children to learn the true meaning of Motherhood and unconditional love that our savior had given to us. Mommy la continue to be an inspiration to all of us and for giving us all your love and care. One yr pa lang ako naging active sa blogging world. But,I've treated you like my mom. I thank God for coming you into my life. More blessings and love to all your anakis. Love you,mommylar.
ReplyDeleteHi mommy Lariza! i dont know if you could still remember me but i have met you na before sa isang event at hindi ko po aakalain na ganyan po ang naging karanasan niyo sa buhay. Sa totoo lang po parehong pareho po kayo ng karanasan ng mommy ko. Naiyak po ako literal dahil sobrang relate po ako sa inyo. Tulad po ninyo, tinaguyod at pinag-aral po kaming tatlong magkakapatid ng mommy ko sa private schools pero sa kasamaang palad, ako nalang po ang hindi pa nakakatapos. Nagkaroon po ng crisis sa pamilya namin kaya kinailangan ko po magtrabaho. kinailangan ko rin pong tulungan ang nommy ko dahil siya nalang po ang bumubuhay samin. pero sabi niyo nga po "never give up" kaya hindi naman po ako nawawalan ng pag-asa na tapusin ang aking pag-aaral. Mommy Lariza, katulad niyo nalubog sa utang ang mommy ko, naisangla ang bahay namin sa bangko, pero buti nalang nandifo kaming mga anak niya para umalalay sa kanya. actually, kalalabas lang po ng mommy ko sa hospital ngayong araw. at nitong mga nakaraang araw, naisip ko na hindi ko kayang isipin o kahit iimagine na wala ang mommy ko sa tabi ko. Dahil katulad niyo po, isa siya sa mga pinaghuhugutan ko ng lakas para lagpasan ang mga pagsubok at dagok na dumarating sa aking buhay. Mommy Lariza, Salamat po sa pagiging isang inspirasyon ninyo para lagpasan ang lahat ng sakit at paghihirap sa buhay. Amaze na amaze po ako aa inyong pagiging huwaran na ina. Kaya kung ano man ho ang magagangdang nararanasan ninyo ngayon, deserve niyo po yan. at alam kong marami pag blessings na inihanda si Lord para ynigo.Goodluck po sa career niyo at Godbsless po sa Family. ������
ReplyDeletecorrection lang po...para sa inyo po hindi po para ynigo. Thanks!
DeleteHi raffle queen!
ReplyDeleteYou are blessed to have children like them but I must say your Children are beyond Blessed because they have you! Having a mom who would sacrifice her happiness to make sure her children gets the best is truly amazing! Upon seeing your posts about your children, when and where they graduated I felt proud of you I was silently prayiny to God that I be given the chance to study again and make my parenrs proud again just like how you are proud of your children. I do not know you personally but that post made me think that you are such a strong and kind woman! I know that you are proud of your children but I'm 100 % sure they are prouder that they have you!
Happy New Year to you and to your family!

I always believe that a Mother is the glue that hold and sticks a family together. Being a great mom only happens when all your children are successful like your children are. That is one reason why I look up to you. All the success of your children is the result of your righteousness combine with motherly love and you deserve a million thanks from them. And I see how thankful they are whenever I happen to see you them. That is not something that others can take from you.
ReplyDeleteYou are indeed blessed. Ilan beses ko nang nasabi sa yo na maganda ang ginawa mong pagpalalaki sa mga anak mo. Salute, mommy Lariza
ReplyDeleteTruly blessed ka Mommy Lariza! It is an honor to be part of your circle :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet :) Im sure your kids are very proud that you are their mother ❤️cheers Mommy La!
ReplyDeleteIt's stories like these that allow me to understand why God allows storms (and boy did you had some big ones): it is to tell a story and to encourage those who may be going through similar things. I certainly was blessed to read what you wrote down. Fantastic stuff.
