Rach: I understand what you mean. It can get really crazy sometimes. Just try to take it one day at a time, one task at a time, one loved one at a time. You’ll get used to it soon enough. When you become good at handling these things, you’ll be ready for your next challenge: having and raising babies!

Ate Kengs: Despite what we see, hear and read in the news, I still believe there are a lot of good people in the world. We just have to keep our eyes and hearts open to them.

i don’t know if you’re a mind reader but I am having these type of worries lately - meaning the financial side. true, living abroad makes life a bit easier (more for us kasi this is a tax-free country) but then with all the obligations and responsibilities of being a sister, daughter and wife… you don’t know what to put on the top of your list.

Yes, your family (Robert and me) should be my priority but then how can you do so when you’re the only person they rely on? the hard part is choosing and being firm with that decision…

I hope by the time we start to have little angels, everything will fall into place.

K: I can only imagine how hard it must be for you to be so far away from home to ensure your family is comfortable and well-provided for. It must take a lot of sacrifice to do that. I think there’s nothing wrong with saying “no” sometimes, it can actually help keep your sanity when too many people are asking so much from you. Just help whenever you can.
I disagree though when you say “…I feel I really don’t deserve to have a lot of money anyway.” You do deserve to have a lot of money. I think we all do. Having a lot of money is a good thing especially if you use it to make yourself and other people happy.

I am touched by the story and you for actually being so generous. It seems that you have a heart for people and really want to help the less fortunate. I too, also worried with everything, like financially. I wish we were rich so that I don’t need to worry about working so hard and far away from home just to help my family and survive. Sometimes I am guilty when I really can’t be helpful to people until I help myself first. I am somewhat embarrassed to tell someone ‘no’ when they ask for something. And although I feel I really don’t deserve to have a lot of money anyway, so might as well give it away. I guess the first step to developing a healthier giving habit is to first think about why you feel obligated to help all these people.

BTW, kudos to this new template. Beautiful sidebars and the entire overhaul is pleasing to the eye.
