My Biography and Interesting Moments From It (Introductory Post)

Let’s Know More About Me:

I am Shirlina Jairulla Sappayani. You can call me “BUDING”. A 27 years old mom. Currently residing at Purok Malipayon Bulatok, Pagadian City province of Zamboanga del Sur. I am the eldest among the siblings. Married with two sons.

Teaching is my passion. I have extensive experience and knowledge in ESL instruction. I’ve been teaching in 51 talk for almost two years. Unfortunately, I got pregnant and stopped for awhile. Until I decided to teach again. Luckily, I got hired as an office based teacher.
Due to searching online jobs. I am lucky that I am onboarded by @antonette we meet through facebook and oriented me how Hive works.

Unforgettable Family Picture

Here's a simple photo of my family. We were separated with my parents for more than 20 years already. Why? Simply because my mom was a second wife. My dad is a muslim. According to our beliefs, a man can marry more than one as long as he can afford it.
I have three siblings. I'm the eldest among them. Sometimes, I got jealous to those kids who have complete family. I am thinking, how lucky they are to cherish every moment of their life together.

Who's taking care of us?

Since, my mom went abroad as an OFW. We were under the supervision of our grandparents. Our grandparents are the one replenishing all the love, care, guidance and emotional support that our parent's shortcoming. They were both lovable and caring enough.They look after us.They were already old but they are still the one preparing our foods before going to school. I can't even imagine life without them. Maybe, if not because of them, not a single person knows how to respect us.I really love my grandparents so much more! They were my life! My enemy. My ultimate support system.

Getting Married to the man I loved the most:

January 9, 2018 I got married. I was 19 at that time. We were in a relationship with my husband for only 6 months. After that, he abruptly decided to marry me and tell my parents about it.

By the way, the name of husband is Abdul Aziz. He's 30 years old already. He graduated his Bachelor's degree in Business Administration at Sulu State College.We've been together for 7 years already and we have two sons now.

First Born. First Blessing

After a few months of being married, I easily get pregnant. The hassle during the gestation period can't be denial. From morning sickness to peeing all day. To tell you frankly, being a mom isn't easy. It takes a lot of courage and determination to be one. During labor, one foot is in the hole. Imagine that? But, prayer is the best weapon during those hard times. Believe on Him, he will surely sustain all your needs.

I am thankful that my family is watching over me and never left me hanging behind on that critical stage of my life.
Now, my son is already six years old. He is grade two. His name is Ahmed-Sheeraz. A lovable and generous son of mine.

Travelling mode on.

Travelling even in a simplest form is a way of loving yourself. Taking some break for little while. Every vacation, we went to Zamboanga or any other part of Mindanao to enjoy our free time. For me, spending money could lose us in some point. However, the happiness we felt during that time was incomparable. Enjoying every moment of our life can be fulfilling enough. Less stress. More happiness.

Second Born Son.

Year 2022, I got pregnant with my second born son. Same feeling I felt with my first born. The gestational period was uneasy. Every month, we went to an ob-gyne for a quick visit and prenatal.
July 15, 2023 came!
During the delivery, I thought I could delivered him normally. Unfortunately, I got cesarean section. Weeks passed by, the pain still intolerable. Almost month of suffering the pain. Recovery is in progress. Now, I am living a good life with my sons.

Today marks another milestone of my son's life. He's celebrating his 2nd birthday today. I'm glad that he's growing healthily and wisely.

Food is my love language.

The best way to express your love to your partner is cooking them some delicious foods. I am the happiest woman in world if my husband appreciates what I cooked.
I am not showy enough, through cooking I can let my feelings out of it.
My husband let me cook anything he wanted. As long as the ingredients are ready. Then, I'll rock and cook it!
