With the fast changing
and ever revolving world like ours, it may seem hard to cope up with how
demanding our everyday lives can be. Just like me, I work part-time as a
Marketing Associate for an up-coming events company and I also blog on the
side. Aside from being a worker , I am also a full-time wife and mom to two
adorable kids.
I am so blessed right
now that everything is falling into place. I blog and I have job that keeps me
sane from the same and usual routine of being a house-keeper. I'm not saying
i'm bored with being a wife and a mom, but let me just say that when I finally
had to work after being eight years of being a full-time mom-It made me work
and aspire more. It made me strive more and after all these years that I'm
craving for success, I finally say that I was in the "game".
Being in the
"game" made me want to go to work everyday and prove to everybody
that I'm worth every penny my boss pays me. It gives me natural high that I can
also do two things that I both love, "being in an events company and still
manage my own blog". My peg is like "work, blog and pray".
With all the
challenges, failures and triumphs that I actually face every day, it's just an
added spice. But do you agree that work can get in the way sometimes? Hey, I
can relate with it so much. Having to work part-time 3x a week and blog in
between day, that has left me an ample time with my family. It should be a
win-win situation but that is where I fail this time.
Let me share a personal
experience where I actually missed a very, very important celebration in our
family. I know, till now I still feel guilty why I actually missed that very
momentous celebration of our lives.
Just to give you an
idea about it, let me start by sharing that I'm actually married to my husband
for almost 4 years, but if I will include the years since we got together and
gave birth to our first-born- we're almost together for 8 years and
...counting!
Maybe by now you have
an idea what is that very special occasion that I missed- Yeah I missed our
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. Yeah I know it is very unlikely or normal for a wife to
forget or skip it but hey I'm not perfect.
On that particular day,
I had a coverage and thought it would start on time. But just like most events,
unavoidable circumstances are likely to happen. It started a bit late. If it
would have started on time I might have surprised my husband with a surprise
dinner. I still feel awful not having been carried my plan out for our
anniversary. While I was on coverage, he texted and his message felt so
disappointed with my missing our own anniversary. How could he not? It’s not
normal for wives to forget or missed on it. He’s also busy but he actually
found the time to go home early that night just so the whole family could
celebrate. As you see, if you would be reading my previous posts, it’s a normal
thing that I usually go out with my two boys but we’re pretty strict with
family occasions. We see to it that we strictly go out and celebrate family
occasions.
To continue the story,
I arrived home late found no one at home. My husband still disappointed just
went out for dinner with the kids-without me L.
I told him I was so
sorry but I guess it wasn’t enough. He gave me the cold shoulder for months. He
didn’t want to go out with us on weekends. It had me thinking what to do to
make up for the “fail” wedding anniversary date.
After a few months, I
said this can’t go on forever. I have to think of something to make him feel I
am truly sorry about what happened. So I thought of taking them out on my
birthday. I’m crossing my fingers that of course he won’t miss it.
So on my birthday, I
skipped work and texted him that after his work he should meet us somewhere.
Just an hour before dinner, I texted him to meet us at Max’s Restaurant in
Scout Tuason. Max’s Restaurant is my family’s favourite. Even when I was a kid
when my Mom and Dad would fight, my Dad would take us out to lunch and eat at
Max’s Restaurant. My dad would order their Kare-Kare and house specialty which
is the Max’s Fried Chicken and everything would be back to normal. It’s my dad’s
way of making it up with my mom. And I did that also with my husband. I wanted
him to feel that I appreciate all his efforts and hard work just to support our
family most especially for really taking the time out just to go home early for
our anniversary and celebrate.
Hoping against hope
that it will work.
At Max’s we celebrated
it with a birthday dinner. After eating a sumptuous dinner, little did he know
that I when the cake was served, it was for him. Instead of me blowing it, I
had served unto him, with matching dialogues, “I’m sorry I had to miss our
anniversary”? And there I saw him smile shyly because the dining attendants
were also surprised with what I did. His smile made me think that now
everything’s settled. I realized it was never really too late to make up for
what I did. Max’s Restaurant is “sureball” answer to my problem. I realized I
was so right by following my instincts. I was thankful that those fond my
memories that I had when I was a kid really paid off.
Looking back, maybe I
should have something delivered at our house during anniversary, right?
Oh how could I missed
it? I should have ordered our favourite Max’s Restaurant dishes via Max’s
