How my life changed (twice!) | Rica Peralejo-Bonifacio

[@sixfortyoness1909]

Sabi ko magtutupi po ako while papanoorin to coz I've been waiting for days na. Ang ending ipupunas ko lang po pala ng luha yung tutupiin ko. Mwehehe. This just made me burst into tears coz while watching the entire vlog my mom was in the back of my mind, thinking how hard it has been for her as a teenage mom, since di pa naman uso counseling and all during early 2000's. I wonder if na heal and nag hi-heal ba sya sa mga wounds nya, and was prompted to pray narin that one day, shortly soon, she'll recognize that motherhood is a Holy Calling. Thank you for this, Ate Rica. This just made me go back to that statement na Mothers are not perfect, but mothers are mothers. And honoring them is non-negotiable no matter how broken and imperfect they are. This vlog is a glimpse of hope to trust in God's redemptive plan that one day when mom meet Jesus in the middle she'll be healed, redeemed, and will certainly grow as a parent/mother after God's own heart. So much love from the Lord! xoxo

[@mariconlacsa1270]

Lately I feel so frustrated about being a mom but I saw this and helps me to realize things out

[@solanasworld3099]

You are such a blessing to us moms, I thank the Lord for using you as an instrument to remind us mothers nit to falter but hold on to the beauty of this season - motherhood ❤️

[@estherjanetorres8724]

This made me cry .. i’m raising little boys and there are days I want to “resign” being mom ..Thank you for this video.. I will keep this mind and add it to my “holy calling reminders “

[@lynnmondejar]

I'm a Mom of two boys, already 31 & 28, but I still love this your sharing. Yes, quality time with children is very important, fills their love tank. This is very informative and inspiring. I hope a lot of would be Mom's will be able to hear watch this.😍

[@rachelleong5175]

Kakaiyak naman😭 motherhood is indeed hard and bittersweet..ung last part tlga ng vlog tagos sa puso😭❤️ Ung time talaga with the kids..

[@teribibal-ongcoy116]

I have always asked dati if I'm doing the right thing in raising my daughter. Laging may comment yung ibang tao and it has affected me in a way and there was a time na nakalimutan ko na that I'm called to be a mother and that God made it to happen. Thanks for reminding us of this holy calling. Nowadays I look at my little girl and I'm reminded na hindi ko naman kayang gawin lahat pero dahil nandiyan naman and Panginoon para gabayan tayo I find peace in knowing na someone has my back. Hugs to all the mothers out there. Maraming Salamat Ms Rica. You are always a blessing to us.

[@lourdesmelendrez9878]

Every time I wake up at dawn and can't sleep. I always go to youtube to watch your Vlogs Ms. Rica. And yes this vlog tells that it''s very hard to be a mother but it's manageable. The time you said "We are raising children not to be dependent on us but to be independent of us. I really felt it. And one thing for sure. Your Vlog is always healing thank you for inspiring me and a lot of people. God is always the center for everything. More power😚💜😌😇

[@rodelcaguicla5080]

nakaka touch at nakakaiyak yung last part idol Rica..,bigla tumulo yung luha ko😢😭 naalala ko yung mama ko na nasa heaven na😭🙏

[@RicaPeralejoBonifacio]

😭😭😭

[@pattymacapagal4576]

Thank you for reminding us "moms" our worth and importance to our children. Now that my kids are teenagers I don't get to decide for them always but I am just here watching them and try to help them go back to the right path whenever they are being lost. I am glad that I can get to do that. Being a single mom and not having someone to path me on my back or a partner who will keep reminding me that I did a good job being a mom. I just entrust it to the Lord that He is the one who can give me comfort when I need it. Thank you for doing this video I felt much better and much loved. Stay safe always with your family.

[@fatimareyes6384]

Hello. Carla this episode made me cry...maybe I was overwhelmed with so much love for my children, especially for baby Moses who's my third born after 17yrs. The gift of love that comes from being a mother is I think something unexplainable, for me it's like the love that God has given to us. Happy to see the infant videos of kuya and Manu.

[@hazelinegeonzon8794]

Sabi ko nga matutulog na lang ako eh, napaiyak pa tuloy ako. I've been following you on IG for years now, and it feels like I've seen your kids grow... and you too! May times pa na feeling ko na ninang ba rin ako ni Manu (amfeeling! Lol). Tanda ko pa yung ngawa ko while watching your vlog when you were giving birth to him. I'm still waiting for God to bless me with a child, and you + your kids are among the reasons why I look forward to being a mom. Thanks for another heartwarming & insightful video. God bless you and your beautiful family. 💕

[@mimiespineli4232]

This was the very first video that I watched when I woke up this morning. And it really brought me to tears. I am a Mom of two boys just like you, Miss Rica. Thank you for this beautiful vlog about MOTHERHOOD. It’s indeed bittersweet. But being a MOTHER is one of life’s GREATEST BLESSING.❤ God Bless You & your family, Miss Rica.

[@tasslavs]

I'm not a mom yet, still eagerly waiting for God to bless us with a child. Watching this brought me to happy tears and made my heart full and excited for this holy calling! ❤

[@shanngonzales4977]

One of my favorite vlogs about motherhood. Real talk. Thank you Rica for this wonderful message & realization. God bless.

[@pennedbysamia]

Who's crying while watching this? Huhu. Appreciate this one, Ms Rica!

[@viejeloiseunicebinag]

I have 3 kids and recently given birth - and I've been questioning my worth as a mom and as a person esp pagsabay sabay na ang chores, alaga ng 3 kids at pagiging asawa.. your vlog helped me to evaluate my being and also encouraged me that time is precious..

[@genicsheila]

Thank you for sharing these. It feels so good to be affirmed as a Mom sa dami ng hirap na pinagdada-anan natin. It truly is bittersweet but you know what, na inspire mo tuloy akong samahan ang anak ko sa prayer niya na magkaroon ng second baby sa house namin. You are a wonderful and amazing Mom as well Ms. Rica! I love watching your vlogs so full of godly wisdom! God bless you and your family always!

[@angeliquematriano6547]

Very inspiring ms rica. Im not a mom yet, lalo kung na appreciate yong efforts and sacrifice ng mom ko for us. And giving a extra time to bond with my mother every time na uuwi ako ng province. Thank you ms rica for this inspiring videos for us. 😊

[@yamgranil]

Thank you Ms. Rica for sharing this. Such an inspiration and a healing realization. I am a first time mom and it’s really hard with all the adjustments but yes, this is the greatest role I can have and I praise God for this.

[@cmplylhianpaler8539]

Watching this video made me cry😭😭 I'm 2months pregnant with my 3rd baby♥️

[@kristelesguerra6726]

I cried at the last part. Thank you for reminding me how precious time is for our kids.

[@RicaPeralejoBonifacio]

Yeah… time. 🥲💕

[@angelicapineda2460]

Grabe everytime talaga na pinanood kita laging may tama sa puso!

[@lovelymoments1083]

This vlog makes me cry. Thank you Ms. Rica for this. I am a first time mom and im feeling so proud about myself now even though at times im really not sure if im doing it right. Thank you. Your vlogs such as this is sooo healing.🌺

[@mochakopii]

Belated happy mother's day po, Ms. Rica! As one of the abangers of your vlogs, late ko po pinanood ito because I've been holding back my emotions celebrating Mother's Day this month and medyo expected ko na papaiyakin niyo na po kami 🤧😅 This year is way different from our previous celebrations because we've been taking care and fighting with our mama who was diagnosed with Chronic Leukemia since December 2021. She's a homemaker and very hands on to us even if we are all professionals now. As her main caregiver in the hospital, this season of mourning (kaisa niyo rin po ako in your grieving season 🥺) gave me a deeper and new sense of appreciation of our mama, especially now that she's the one who needs strength and care (even to the point na parang baby alagaan) and all kinds of support, just like the things you have mentioned here po. Immeasurable po ang pagmamahal ng mga nanay and we cannot really give that same kind and amount bilang mga anak! I'm sure Philip and Manu will never outgrown your love kahit anong age pa po nila, just like us po 😊❤️

[@RicaPeralejoBonifacio]

Thank you for sharing. Praying for your mama ❤️🙌🏻

[@annagual2442]

Another great vlog...had so many learnings from this being a mama who gave birth at 40 yrs old...Thank you Ms. Rica❤️

[@kathymercado5104]

I don't have kids but this episode made me cry, so heartfelt!

[@ruviruvss]

Thank you for inspiring us once again, Ms. Rica.. very heart touching and kudos to all the Mama out there! We love you. Special mention to my Mama Ruth. I love you. 😍

[@genelynencila8471]

This vlogs hits me deep, from the past few months I've always watch your vlogs.. from the first one till this time💔💞 its a bittersweet moment when I hear those last few minutes. 🤱🤰 my son turns 6 yrs old soon, and no longer clings for me the way he is before. I miss those moments 🥺 I miss those times were I had to hide just to make him minggle with others so he can practice his independence. Ngayon kasi he would say na to stay away or balikan nalang sya after his done playing with friends because his quite shy na sya nalang mag-isang naglalaro na maynakabantay na mama.🤦 Huhu! So much to learn about your vlogs, Hopefully na mas ma acknowledge pa ung mga ganitong content and talks from you. God Bless you po. ❤️

[@diannetorio-timbol5198]

I'm a FTM and I realized that it is really hard to be a mother. And I can relate to the part na tama ba tong ginagawa ko? Deserve ba ko maging nanay ng nilalang na ito? I have a lot of doubts. Thank you for the assurance. Thank you for sharing this. 😊 mega iyak talaga ako 😢

[@jadestar9269]

thank you Miss Rica for sharing, love to watch your vlog 😊God bless!

[@lashah2413]

Thank you.. Nung una prang sa mind ko nung makita ko yun comments, prang over reaction naman yun nakakaiyak etc... then I started watching the mommy-journey, at first it was all parang " been there, I'm there, and done that... " then sa huli nung na emphasize mo na yun Changes na na-accept mona.. I busrt into tears na. May connection Talaga sa mga Mothers yun nabitawan mong words... Thank you. nagkita na tyo before same school sa SFACS Las Pinas, Home Study kayo nun... High school pa ko nun. But anyway, Just want to let u know that I always appreciate your blogs and vlogs. God bless you more ! - Jonah

[@RicaPeralejoBonifacio]

Thank you ! Grabe st francis!!! Wahhh ang luma na hahahaa 😂

[@thetravelos]

Nakaka high morale episode as a mom, but at the same time got very emotional at the last part. 😢❤

[@RicaPeralejoBonifacio]

I know. Nakakaiyak talaga yung huli 😅😭 ako nga alam ko na sinabi ko, naiyak pa ako

[@mariacandelario225]

Can't wait for this vlog to watch

[@joycelyncopia1633]

Miss Rica, if you can alao watch This Is Us, an american series. It's about being a parent and what's more important of being one. God bless you and your family all the more

[@johnkennethlasheras2569]

It always is inspiring to watch your vlogs po. Saw you and your fam sa SM Aura last Thursday but nahiya po akong magpapicture. Hopefully, next time.

[@thraiamercadejas_]

Thank you! It is comforting to hear this from a mom like you as a daughter to my parents. I may not experience the same amount of comfort, love, and time you give to your children, but through your words, I felt something. It a something that comforted and loved that soon will be put to good use when I become a mom, for sure. I felt that my bruises emotionally growing up has been comforted and loved with a simple explanation of how you nurture your children.

[@RicaPeralejoBonifacio]

I did not have a perfect set of parents but God helped me to be an able parent. 💕 hugs

[@chloesegovia8096]

I was waiting for this. The affirmation and the appreciation are soo sincere. Thank you Miss Rica! 3H's hit me most! First time parent here po.

[@toyang6538]

Ate Rica!! Huhu. My favorite vlogs from you are the ones about you sharing ypur reflections/journey on pregnancy or as a mom, lalo n ayung first birthday ni Manu tsaka yung difficulty of being a mom of two kids, madalas ko balikan yung vlogs na yon. Another one of my faves here! 😭 Di pa ako mom, perhaps far from being a mom pa, pero malaki yung desire ko to be one day. Aaah, the way you narrate your realizations/experiences/philosoophies on parenting pa, it makes me see the depths of being a parent more. Huhu. Grateful for this vlog! Enjoyed watching it so muuuch. Salamat, ate!

[@toyang6538]

Ate, katuwa rin makita lumaki mga anak mo. Pag nagsstory ka minsan, naiisip ko, "Hala, ang laki na ni Manu!" I can only assume how deep your love is for your children, for your family. Sa dami ng content online, grateful ako na makapanood from you at makakita ako ng isang taong nagmamahal. Pagpupugay sa'yo bilang ina, ate!!

[@homemaker_ally]

Ive had a tough time being a first time mom. Breasfeeding was the most challenging for me. I never though that breastfeeding would require so much sacrifice from the mom. But I wont do it any other way still. This vlog is healing, it reassures me that I am enough, and that I am doung my best as a mom. I love how you mentioned that we are raising world changers. It motivates me to raise my kid to be as kind and loving as possible, despite the cruel world we are living in right now. God bless your family Ms. Rica!

[@RicaPeralejoBonifacio]

Thank you 💕 YES SUPER HARD MAGING MOMMY. My breastfeeding issues were terrible too

[@christinacalcana2817]

My son uses lactacyd too. Highly recommended especially pag may rashes sya. Yan lang yung nakakapag patanggal. Effective even sa dandruff po. I tried it. The lactacyd na blue.

[@RicaPeralejoBonifacio]

Yeah ang weird na yung skin nila parang may film after ano??

[@christinacalcana2817]

Thanks for noticing po. ☺️☺️☺️☺️ I am a fan of your vlogs. Marami po akong natutunan as a first time mom. God Bless and more meaningful vlogs to come.

[@karagayanelo]

[@RicaPeralejoBonifacio]

Awww hahahaha

[@ChellatinesHome]

Ok, I don't know where to start on how to say how much I loved this. I agree with the things you said. I agree that you can read all info about parenting but you will only know what to do when the situation has confronted you. Motherhood is beautiful but hard and bittersweet. It made me tear up when you said "hindi na siya ganun", my daughter just turned nine, still as sweet as before but a lot of things changed, too. The hardest part of motherhood is teaching your child not to need you. This is just so beautiful Ms. Rica! 🤎

[@RicaPeralejoBonifacio]

Hugs!!! Naiiyak parin ako isipin na hindi na sya ganun…

[@lheazabat6203]

Next time po can you talk about, was it really good to have your mother or inlaws by your side to help you raising your child? Was it really helpful or not? Your family was really great. You are showing to us what a family should be. i really admire you even before pa na active ka sa pag a-artista. Thank you for sharing this to us, and your other VLogs, it was really informative and healing for me. As a woman, and as a mother. God Bless.

[@RicaPeralejoBonifacio]

Will note this ❤️ thank you also!!!

[@journeyofhope2448]

Everytime i see my son misbehave,i feel like it is my fault. I raised him to be like that 😭 then I would ask, what have I done wrong when I think I only want the best for him 😭😭😭😭

[@RicaPeralejoBonifacio]

I hope you get to also heal from this. We all are guilty if being not ideal parents BUT kaya natin magbago! And our children will also heal from the bad things we do. Also yung pag misbehave nya baka naman it’s just simple being a kid ❤️

[@jenchiegayanilo8998]

Super bet ko yung content kaso medj umay yung 8-10minutes na pinupush yung lactacid. ✌️😹

Hahaha i tried to trim it down na din talaga 🤣 marami pa akong nasabi not only sa lactacyd but sa all… originally 45mins hha
