50th Blog Post: An Update on Family Connectedness

Last Friday, we did a "palabunutan".

I have a running gameplan and gimmick on how to extend family dinner time.

You see, I noticed that we have been spending less and less time over dinner. (I wrote a post on how I miss our extended family dinner!) We rush through dinner, talk less, go upstairs into our respective rooms, and get busy on our individual lives.

Until one day, I’m just having dinner with Sam, my one-year old nephew!

This has to stop!

So last Friday we had our palabunutan. Sam was our guest “taga bunot”. The person he picked will choose where or what we’ll have for the weekend dinner. I figured that if we serve what the kids love, they’ll linger longer at the dining table.

It was Kuya Marc’s turn to decide. Deep inside, I was excited! Kuya Marc is more adventurous when it comes to food. He’ll pick a new resto to try!

Ngek! He wanted to stay home and have home cooked mechado from Adam’s! This was not possible this weekend so we asked Mig to decide instead.

Mig wanted to eat Shakey’s Deal No. 2… and he wants to eat it at home! (what is it with our teens nowadays, they want to stay home???)

Anyway, I love Shakey’s pizza! However, I’m on Day 2 of my Kefir diet.

The kids will surely enjoy their manager’s choice pizza, mojos, spaghetti, and friend chicken while I enjoy my veggies! What is more important is I am starting to have extended dinner time again!

PS:

This is my 50th blog post and I hope you are enjoying them.

Awesome Abundance is my way of keeping Hubby updated about our family. I wanted to make sure that he does not miss the "teenager days" of our kids. Despite the fact that he now works abroad, I wanted him to continue to play a major role in our kids' lives and remain an integral part of our family.

I hope to achieve that in my next 50 posts. 

More than ever, I hope that my next posts will be constant reminders for all of us to SEE, ENJOY and BE GRATEFUL for the awesome abundance around us.

May you enjoy Awesome Abundance,

Jones

Welcome to Awesome Abundance!

I believe that there is always a purpose. Everything happens for a reason and there is definitely a reason why you are now reading this blog!

Sometimes we are so focused on our goals, the deadlines that we have set, and challenges encountered along the way. As a result of these, we fail to see the other side of the picture
… beyond unmet goals are small and meaningful achievements
… beyond past deadlines are incremental progresses
… behind every challenge is an opportunity

This is what this blog is all about. This blog shines the spotlight on the optimistic side of life. Normally, we miss out on living an awesome life as we are gripped with fear and panic in reaction to events happening around us and in the global scene.

Behind all these struggles and human drama, we miss out on enjoying the things that we can be grateful for. We turn a blind eye to the
… abundance of nature
… rich colors of sunrise and sunsets
… free air that we breathe
… loving hugs from our family
… smile from strangers
… goodness of humanity

We tend to forget that life is meant to be enjoyed and that we are meant to live a life of abundance.

This blog invites you to shift your focus on the things that matter most.
