~Unplanned..


“You never know what life has in store for you, but I believe there are certain things one is meant to go through.” ~Gloria Estefan~


All of us go through this journey in our lives. A few years back I should say I was on the peek of my career. I was about to be promoted to be a branch cashier in a bank but something bad did happened and I had no choice but to resign. I had miscarriage and I can’t have a baby while having work.


I have plans before of being a career woman at the same time having a perfect happy family. I had planned to have my own business too and having my kids enjoy the life and freedom that I didn’t have when I was young. I was physically abused when I was a child so I promised myself to give all my love to my kids.


For the past 10 years..All of these things that I have planned for was blown away like a dust in the wind. All of it just exploded and all the pieces I have built for a long time crumbled. I had gone through the toughest time of my life but I have no choice but to hold on for my kids. To be strong for them because I am their Mom.

All of these came to my life unplanned. As I was reading on the different blogs yesterday I keep on saying to myself we all go through a journey in our lives though differently. Some of us may go through pains of betrayal. Loving someone, giving our all but ended up being betrayed. Some of us may have been always one’s Option and Never been their Priority. Or some people may just come and teach us a lesson, hurt us and then Walk Out.

We may have felt irrelevant to some people. Neglected us for no reason. Taken us for granted and just left us in one corner pretending we have not been a part of their lives. Some of us may have been tired and pushing ourselves too hard just to fulfill our dreams.


All of these situations in our lives came unplanned. We did never wished for these things to happen in our lives right? No one I know would wish to have hardships. I know because I have been through it. My relatives and friends would always say I am a strong person because if they would have been in my situation now..They would have gone insane or committed suicide.

But these same Unplanned situations in my life gave me strength to hold on to God even more. I had many tears so much and if only I could shout now I will. I have always believed that in every pain that I have gone through all of it came with a purpose. Though I may not see it now, though I am still waiting for my prayers to be answered. I know God is still there listening to my every cry.


Not all people are the same. I may have been hurt and betrayed from my past but I won’t let myself get stuck on my past. I won’t dig up those past hurts anymore. We are all created differently and my kids and I will soon have the true happiness we have been waiting for. All of us deserve second chances in our lives.

Now even if I have no career I have the noblest work of being a single mom. Looking back I love my life now more. My kids and I are more bonded than ever. I have freedom because I am not pretending anymore. I am enjoying the real me. My life of having a fake smile and a masked heart that where full of anger and lies has now been set free.


A woman who has learned to stand up, move on and hold to the life that I have now because I am not alone. I have them. I may not have the most successful career. I may not have the riches in life. I may not be a woman that any guy wishes to have. But I know I am a woman who knows how to love. A woman who has survived and moved on.I may not know where these steps would lead me and my kids but I am certain that God will lead and guide us along the way.

"God Never Draws a Plan Without a Promise; He Never Puts a Path without a Pointer and Never Sets a Life Without a Purpose .. We just have to accept every situation in our lives and MOVE ON"



this song always makes me cry


Sie on Emo mode ;)

  4. This is great sis, we never know when or where this unplanned will come or will end. What important is we learned out from it. We became more stronger and it gives us extra strength in facing the real meaning of journey, it's all about waiting for the right time, for the right plan that only God made for us, and when this plan of Him came, it's never ending happiness for us. I am so happy that after all what happened in your past life, here you are, woman with strong personality, a loving and caring mother for your kids and faithful one to your loving quiet angel, standing still to hold tight for your dreams and never lose hope that everything will be fine and soon your happiness will complete, because HE is always there for you and your family.

    Have a wonderful and blessed day my sis!:)

  9. Yay! very well said ate sie. Though yah, I've been to a point in life where I've been hurt because of love. I think we will go through different stages in life with a lot of hard times. Ate, I wanted to share this one to you and to your readers, I got this one from a verse :)

    “When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up. … For I am the Lord your God.” (NLT) Isaiah 43:2-3

    We know that following our Father's way will not guarantee us hard times. But the hard times will not defeat us. God will never leave us alone in the fight.

    Have a bless day Ate Sie :) *hugsssssssssssss*

  24. Apart for being a brilliant example for women, you are also a brilliant example for mothers and believers. You cry sometime maybe but your cries heal you and then you stand up with a big smile and ready to enjoy each second of life. When I read you I can see you.
    You are right you may not have the career, the high profile job but your heart is full of love and what you give to your children is Gold, the most precious gift.

    As Mother Theresa said:
    “I know God won't give me anything I can't handle. I just wish he didn't trust me so much.”

    Sweet dreams Sie.....xxxxxxxxx

  25. I feel like I've just walked into a beautiful, emotional journey ... this happens often when I come to visit you :) Maybe it's because you really understand me and I see images of myself reflected in you :)

    I cried when I listened to the song and it's a beauty as always! Thank you once more for introducing me to quality music I've never experienced until now :) "Even winners can get wounded in the fight" ~ WoW! That is so true and really hit home with me!

    "My relatives and friends would always say I am a strong person because if they would have been in my situation now..They would have gone insane or committed suicide."

    I definitely can relate to this also, because I've been told the same thing! *BIG smiles* I do believe that our unplanned journeys in life are for a reason and in spite of them, we do become stronger and more beautiful human beings, just like ♥ YOU ♥ !

    You are a courageous and beautiful survivor, Ms. Sie. There are wonderful rewards in store for you, dear :) *love and hugs 2 U always!*

  28. @Lady Fiona-I always love your words Ms.Fiona when you come here..the first time I visited your site I know you can be trusted and be my friend..I have this connection with you..I don't know why but I really felt every word that you have written touched my life..God can really send angels in our midst to guide us..you are one of them Lady Fiona..

    Now you have just said you can relate on my post because you have went through it..It is not by accident Lady Fiona that you and I have met..

    Though we have met only virtually..you are one of those persons who have touched my heart..thank you for your words of wisdom Lady Fiona..I am more than blessed to have known you.. thank you so much *hugs* ;)

  30. Ohh, Ms. Sie! It's been such an emotional day but one of many HAPPY tears and you are a LARGE contributor to that and I can't thank you enough for all of your kind words and honoring me with such a *SPECIAL* award ~ WoW! I am blessed and overjoyed beyond words!!!

    I have felt this connection to you also since the very first time you stumbled into my blog! I just knew I had met a VERY special angel in you!

    I have been blessed with these types of unions on several occasions via the internet and you are definitely right, it isn't an accident. There is a reason that 'Someone' intersects our paths ;)

    The "Letter to a Friend" poem that is currently on my blog was penned before I met you but it was written to someone as special as you are :) She helped my faith from fraying (as mentioned in the poem). I struggle with this a lot and when I come here, I feel like you do the very same for me. You make me believe and want to hold on to that faith that is eager to fray.

    I will display your special gift on my blog with much pride and ohh, by the way, it's one of the most BEAUTIFUL awards I've seen on blogger! Well of course it has to be ~ YOU created it ;)

    Thank you for being you and for always touching my heart! *Hugs x 100* to you :) ♥

    P.S. ~ I'm gazing up at the good morning greetings between you and Beany and smiling!!! Thank you for making my day so special ~ now I will have sweet dreams for sure. See you soon, my angel :) x0x
