Divisoria and Motherhood

(Imported from my tumblr blog, dated Sept 29, 2010)

Went to Divisoria today to buy more material for my small business. Yes, you read it right. I started designing and making nanny uniforms… born out of my frustration in searching for uniforms for my yayas which weren’t too scrubs-type (let’s keep those in the Medical profession, please) and too common or boring. I call my brand SURSI, which is an Ilonggo word meaning “to stitch.”

Pretty cool, huh? Let me know if you or any of your friends want to order… :-)

Anyway, back to my day… so I get to Divisoria with 2 missions: buy tela for my business and maybe some cute tops and things for myself. I completed mission 1 and maybe like 2pcs of mission 2.. and the rest of my budget? Why went all to my kids and husband of course! Now why is that? How come when I am all set to spend for MYSELF, I end up buying more for my family. I just love the feeling I get when I find something really cute… for my 2yr-old son or 4 month old daughter… I was never like this. It was always for myself, but ever since getting married and becoming a mother it has been for THEM.

I wish everyone could experience the joys of motherhood, because let me tell you, there’s nothing quite like it. It’s a roller coaster of emotions (and dress sizes!). Sometimes I can’t even believed that I popped out these 2 little (for now) and soooo amazingly lovable people. I guess motherhood does bring out the best in every woman. Our kids (and husband) make us the best woman we can be and we get the most irreplaceable gift along with it… their unconditional love.

So now, whenever I go shopping… I must make sure my budget is for 4! :-)
