Thoughts of a SAHM

My last flare has brought me so much realization. And it made me re assessed my lifestyle. You might see the difference because I am blogging less and spending less time online. I only set aside around one to two hours in front of the computer. It would be an exception if I got tons of online job and wanted to finished everything in one sitting. But while I am online there will always be a nagging feeling of guilt that I am not taking care of the little girl while on the computer. Something that I told myself to stop doing. You see, computer and the internet have been an additional distraction to mommies, right? In the past, there is not internet so our moms spend more time with us, agree? So, when there is no work I try to stay away from the computer. And it’s much better.

I even spend time outdoors. Maybe, I am also getting tired of sitting on my chair and typing out words in the monitor so I felt much better if during the mornings I have my walk. This morning the little girl and I went to the park. I get to appreciate the garden and the air that I was able to breath. Seems like it energized my body! And the little girl? Well, when we went home she was hungry that she finished one pack of Fita biscuit. haha.

Even though I wanted to spend more time online, my schedule now is limited. What will the little girl going to school and so assignments should follow. Also, I have to set a one hour study time with her. No computer, no tv. Just me and her on a one on one study session. It’s a requirement in KUMON. Though Anevay would only spend around ten minutes on her worksheet, I would follow through by making her trace some letters in her book. This way she can learn how to write. And then I would try incorporating play with learning especially when it comes to counting numbers.

I have been spending less time online and I have accomplished a lot offline. And it made me feel a lot more accomplished as a mother, wife and home maker. It also showed me the exact purpose of why I choose to be a Stay at home mom. That is taking care of my top most priority – my family. And i feel so blessed that even though I spend less time I still have my online earning. I think the secret is scheduling! 

In Fashion

I think I really need to read the article How You Can Start Spending Smart because right now I am scrambling again to make sure our finances are on the right track. But while telling myself that I should start saving, I still can’t get my acts together and kept on shopping. Good thing that if I wanted to buy a reading glass right now I can go and grab the $ 8 Rx eyeglasses. They are affordable and fashionable too!

Here are My favorite high fashion eyeglasses.

With the holidays coming up seeing products that are below my budget would be a great one. Especially with the amount of expenses that would come with gift giving and preparations like buying clothes etc. So zennioptical.com is a good find!

Pista ng Kulturang Pilipino

Last Friday, Anevay’s school have a culminating activity. It’s a treat to their preschoolers after their assessment week and also to celebrate Linggo ng Wika. I was really amused on how the teachers would carry the little girl because Anevay is all over the place. She wants to play in the slide so to prevent her from doing so, they would carry her.

Here are the teachers who carried her all the two hour activity.

 

The director almost carried her when she was struggling to go out because her concept was that I was trapped behind the bars. lol. She was saying, ‘dont worry mommy, I’ll get you out.’. She was even looking for someone to help her. Here she is while talking to me and saying that I was trapped.

I am so happy with her development. Though she still is an energetic little girl who is all over the school. haha. But it bothers me that on her stamp record, there was a note that she fought with a classmate. Good thing the PTC would be this coming Saturday. So I’ll know what happened.  

10 Pounds per Month

When I got sick last month, I lost 10 lbs. On my last check up, I got my weight checked and I never loss nor gain. I am eating as usual, I am not considering to be on a strict diet since my doctor said that I might be one of those who can't function else I don't eat rice. Of course, I believe him. So now no diet but definitely I am exercising. Not because I wanted to loss weight but because I wanted to stay healthy. Exercise is good for the heart, right? But if all else fail I would definitely look for the best weight loss product so that I can achieved my goal of loosing 10 pounds per month.

Why ten pounds ? Well, if I achieved that goal monthly by December I would be on my ideal weight. And that's in time for the husband's vacation and our trip to palawan. And if I get on my ideal weight maybe my doctor would give a go signal for the second baby. Ironic right? I worked on loosing weight to gain it back again. haha. How I wish I would stay discipline and not get tired of walking outdoors.

Is it Really?

I was thinking of a title for this blog post but I can't come up with a intelligent one. haha. Well, since I am thinking of the question is it really September by next week so there is the title. Yeah, I can't believe that the ber months are here already. And with all the things that needs to be done I would expect I will get busier offline. I am more focused these days on being a hands on mom and home maker that being online is not a priority for me right now. I barely have time to stay online and if I had time I am blogging my thoughts and rushing entries. That's why there are times when I post some non sense. lol.

Things have been pretty good offline and I am thankful that even if I am not online, i still have some earnings. I think I am now in the point where I am getting a bit tired of the internet and I am much happier devoting my time teaching the little girl and improving our home.

I am quite happy that every week nights I have my sister to chat with and a weekly help to clean the house and the laundry. And just this week I am happier that I can walk for 30 minutes outdoors and have a quiet time with the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament every morning. I think that addition in my every day routine gives a positive start to my day.

Now, I am looking forward to the holidays, buying gifts, to the husband's vacation this Christmas and our trip to Palawan. God willing I would stay healthy for all this activity.

Extra Income

I remember when I was contemplating on resigning from work, a lot of people are discouraging me. They were saying that I would just get bored from staying at home and would waste my so called 'talent' and my degree. But I am already bent on being available to the little girl 24/7, so no amount of words can make me stop from my plans.

Contrary to what they expect, I never got bored. I am busy everyday with house works and online task. My earnings online even surpass the salary I am receiving from my previous jobs. That's because there is no deduction. haha. And because of this a lot of people are asking me if there are other options to earn extra through the internet. Especially for those who don't fancy writing.

Well, I told them they can try being a rare coin dealer though I am not quite familiar yet about it. I advised them to look into the zoomcoin.com website and try to learn the ropes. Who knows from there they really can work there way and start earning from trading.

The eating Debacle

I love my title. haha. And I am going to rant about Anevay's eating habit here at this entry. lol. Lunch and Dinner takes about one hour. You asked about breakfast, well it's a fast thing because I always give her oatmeal. So there is really no need to chew the food. But when it comes to eating rice, gawd! it taking her so long. What she is doing is that she stores the food in her mouth and would just pretend to chew the food. You would always hear me say the lines chew your food properly anevay every meal. haha.

I am just proud of myself because I can go through the ordeal without any spanking or shouting. I am not loosing my temper over her act. I am hoping that I can make her chew her food by constant reminder and soft voice. But as of this moment I am a big failure. haha. Though the storing of the food in her mouth for a long time only happens when we are half way through the meal. hay.

Was So excited!

I am really excited to attend the birthday party because Anevay would be dressing up as a fairy. Actually I have asked my cleaning lady to even clean the wings and tutu of the little girl. Oh have I mentioned that I know prefer hand wash over machine wash. Yeah, the clothes smells a lot cleaner that when I wash them on the machine (no, we are not using those pressure washers ) so let my cleaning lady laundry our clothes.

Anyway, back to the party, we were not able to attend because we are just going to hitch a ride with a fellow mommy but she has an emergency. And the other mommy is sick, so I decided not to go also since I would be alone and would not know anyone on the party. What is funny was that I had a misconception of the hotel the party would be held. Sometimes I can really be that ignorant. lol. But i am happy that not going to the party give me time to do all chores and finished them all without rushing. Now, I can sleep early. And be prepared for this coming school week.

This Sunday

The husband will be going to Germany for a week long training. He is not excited because its his second time there. And he would be back again after a week for yet another training. How I wish we can be with him on one of his trip. But that's life. He's there and we are here.

On a happy note, the little girl and I plus two of her classmates and mommies would be attending a birthday party. She'll be dressing up as a fairy. And I am excited. hehe. For now, I need to sleep. Good night world!

Beautification

I was browsing through the site of Regencybeauty.com because i am interested in looking into what goes on in a beauty school and what they have to offer. And I realized that the said education and beauty institute has a lot of branches including a beauty school houston. That is great since their education is easily accessible so a lot of people who would want to learn about cosmetology can readily enroll with them. If only I have the time I would definitely like to learn about make ups and how to beautify myself. God knows I needed it especially now that rashes are attacking me. I was never vain but right now I feel like being a good make up artist will help me boost my confidence. Lol.

Cleaning Time!

It's school time once again. After a week of vacation, the little girl is going back to school and that also means I can now continue with cleaning some section of the house. Actually, I need to clean our room and then the kitchen sink and cabinet. I don't let the cleaning lady touch our room for the reason that there are times that when she's here I am not feeling well so I have to lay on our bed.

Then I also need to sort out the plastic container on the kitchen cabinet. And do some serious scrubbing of the sink. Oh, I also need to look into Anevay's clothes. Today, two of the dress that I let Anevay is too short already. They are above the knee. haha. She is definitely growing.

I am so looking forward to cleaning up. I just hope and pray that my lupus would cooperate.

Potty Training Challenge

I don't know if I can consider Anevay to be fully potty trained. Well, we still use diapers when she is sleeping. And she lacks the initiative to tell me when its time to used the potty except when she would do her thing. And wanted to poo. But when it comes to peeing, I would just time it and would bring her to the cr. She still does not tell me if she wants to pee.

Today, she asked to wear her ballerina outfit. I told her that she needs to tell Mommy if she will pee so that the dress won't get wet. But lo and behold, when she feels the urged she removed the ballerina dress and pee right there and there. haha. I am telling you, I don't know if I should be annoyed or amazed by her actions. Well, I guess we need some more guidance on this part.

Accounting Firm

Looking for a good and reliable Las Vegas Quickbooks Accounting Firm? Well, try logging on www.kondlercpa.com and see the services they have to offer. The said accounting firm have been a respected leader in the financial field and they have been dealing with different sectors of the business. You might be thinking why you should hire them? Well, for one they can do the check and balance of your company to help it stay sound and in shape. We all know that some business fails because the owners fail to see some aspect of the business. Through a firm, one can have an outsider point of view which will help you see things on a different perspective. And of course, accounting is synonymous to money. So taking care of the money would also assure that you have a smooth sailing business.

School Work

Because I am swamped up with work yesterday and today, I was not able to set aside the one hour study time for Anevay. Now, there are some unfinished school work that needs to be done. I was planning to help her out today but unfortunately she slept and woke up and its night time already. Hopefully tomorrow morning we can sit down and finished everything. I know the school work would be easy for her since she is now fond of tracing and drawing. She has now complete control of her fingers. So before heading to the party we would study first.

On the MOVE

The husband and I were chatting a couple of weeks back on how he missed looking for an apartment to rent on the first year of our marriage. When we got married we started looking for affordable apartments. Unlike other couple we were not really looking for a nice looking apartment. As long as the neighborhood is peaceful, the place is clean, the water supply is abundant and the rent is affordable, that would be a home for us. Fortunately we found that place. And then I got pregnant and he went to Kuwait for work. When he started working abroad, we also started our plan of buying our own home. We scouted for nice real estate and end up purchasing the house we are living now.

From the rented apartment to the house we bought, moving has proved to be one tiring task. Fortunately for Boston people they have they can rely on Boston Moving Company. One can go to the website www.humboldt.com to know more their services. But definitely call them to help you out and assist you when you move. We know how hard it is to packed and unpacked and moved heavy stuff like appliances and furniture so an extra hand or two would definitely help.

Letter A

I was supposed to scan the paper but unfortunately my printer/scanner is asking for an installer and I am so lazy to go find it and reinstall it on my computer. But yesterday while chatting with the husband Anevay kept on showing her daddy the things that she is learning. She kept on counting her Kumon worksheet and then she show Daddy how she traces the letters in her leapfrog Scribble and Write. When she got tired of the leap frog she asked for paper. While talking to her daddy, I told her Anevay can you write letter A. It was just a request that came out of my mouth. I don't intend to follow through so I was quite surprise when she came to me and handed me her paper and said Mommy, letter A! and when I checked indeed it is a Letter A! haha. I was so happy and proud of her. Even her daddy was glad of her development. Today, she was able to write letter H. haha. I am one proud mommy!

Getting Sick

One of the toughest challenge that I have to face as a mom who has lupus and a wife to an OFW is that I have to stay healthy and make sure that I don't get hospitalized. The past couple of weeks for me has been a struggle. I have a lupus flare but I also need to take care of my little girl. If this happens when I was still single I would definitely end up in the hospital bed. But since I am now a mom, I did everything possible to avoid being confined. Now, I am fully recovered but I am thinking of ways to stay healthy. I am considering taking Acai Berry Energy Supplements along side the vitamins that I am currently drinking. The energy supplement might help me keep up with the demands of a very energetic little girl.

Scribble and Write

We went to SM yesterday to buy a birthday gift for Ericka. Ericka is the younger sister of Enzo who is also a preschooler in Ingenium. His mother has become a close acquaintance to me and to two more mothers who at the first month of schooling we were at the school ground waiting for our kids and watching them in school. lol. So yesterday we went shopping. Actually I was planning to buy Anevay a costume for the party but then decided to just make her wear her ballet get up with wings and tutu so that she'll be a fairy. hehe.

Anyway, while shopping for gifts the little girl kept on getting the toys that we see along the way. She is getting bored because she does not have any thing on her hand to keep her busy. So I was looking for a toy. At first I settled on buying her barbie but they are too pricey. And I just bought her three dolls last month. And then I saw this on the rack. This is a leap frog product called Scribble and Write. According to the website...

Light the way to early writing with Scribble & Write! Children trace the lights to get practice drawing simple shapes and pictures, then graduate to learning upper- and lowercase letters with step-by-step guidance. Fun learning games help reinforce letter recognition and pencil control skills. Best of all, Scribble & Write uses a single retraceable surface for ease of use and portability. Parents can connect to the online LeapFrog® Learning Path for customized learning insights and ideas to expand the learning.

Learning Skills:
- The alphabet
- Phonics skills
- Early writing skills
- Pencil control

The moment we open it the little girl got busy. She started tracing different letters and even draw shapes. At the time we got home she was able to write almost all letters.

Here are some pictures :

She traces the letters by following the red light. Look at her hands. I am just one proud mom to see her putting the pen on the right position.

At the photo below she is tracing the letter M.

And here is the letter M. Am I just happy. Last week I am having trouble with her holding her pen but after a week of really helping her out and making sure I allot an hour a day for her study lesson we made it. Yeah, I am really happy!
The only remaining dilemma we have is that when she is in school or at the Kumon center she can't focus because there are lots of kids around. Seems like she is still overwhelmed by the fact that she has a lot of playmates while at home is only her and mommy. So here at home she is focused on her lessons but in school and Kumon she's not. lol.

So Many Plans

I have so many plans between now until December. Yeah, you heard it right, I am also looking forward to the holiday season. But along the way I need to do some improvements on the home front. Like a general cleaning again before we put in the Christmas decoration. Too early I know but I am planning to put the tree on October so that Anevay will have a lengthy Christmas season. And then I need to buy a ladder so that I can put in some lights in front of our house. Last year we were not able to put one because we don't have the ladder. Duh! haha. Also, I am waiting for the rainy season to end so that I can hire someone to repaint our gates. And then there is the notion of saving for the Palawan getaway I wanted to have by the end of December when the husband is home.

And should I mention that I am keeping my fingers crossed that by the year ends, our second house would be constructed already. This house and lot is located in Antipolo and will only be built on a small lot. You know those houses that are commercialized? Yeah, it's like that. The floor area of the house is not even half of the floor area of our house here in Marikina. But I am not complaining. Because if we have that house it's another beautiful blessings. And its location is near La Salle Antipolo and Assumption.

Thinking of the house makes me browse for some home furnishings ideas at stylehive.com. The sites seems like an adrenalin booster for me since they have a lot of things that I wanted. That it made me drool. I am now looking forward to being able to save so that when the house is constructed and its moving time we have the money to buy the stuff we wanted for the house. That would be really inspiring.

Another Anevay Update

It's been so long when I have posted an update about the little girl on this blog. I have been pretty busy lately offline because I really wanted to put my focus on helping her learn. And I am so glad that she really is learning a lot. I have already corrected the way she puts a pen on her fingers though there are times she shift to her old ways but patiently I remind her.

She loves to trace shapes and letters and she really can trace them now. Also, she loves to spend time just sitting on her chair and table while reading or writing her books. There are times when she would just get a book from the shelf and do her stuff like writing and reading. At night we would read a story first or do her puzzles before sleeping.

In terms of counting, she now points out the figures while counting. A big improvement really and I hope her teacher would have the same observation. You see, Anevay have a trouble focusing when there are a lot of kids in the classroom. haha. That's one thing I am trying to resolve. I am actually looking forward to the PTCs this September to know her progress.

Now, that she has no class for this week we have been playing on the garage also to tire her out. hahaha. But to no avail. She still does not sleep her afternoon nap. Though today is an exception because unfortunately last night she fell of the bed. That was 3am. She cried and after that she asked to read a book and then color. After wards she listen to the Barbie and the Diamond Castle which luckily put her to sleep. We woke around seven and head to school for her assessment.

Here are two pics of her. This was one was taken when we are playing ball in the garage. She is already messy and all.
After that we head inside, I bathe her and then let her eat lunch. After lunch we always spend around an hour or two for her to do some writing. Actually she enjoys it that much that most of her day would be spend with a pen in her hand and a book.



And here is a video.

.

She loves to talk. She loves to sing. There are instances that she really makes me proud. Like yesterday, she was playing with her soccer ball and the ball roll off to where I was sitting. She came to me and said "Excuse me teacher, have you seen my ball?". lol. I pointed out the ball and she said "Oh, thank you teacher!". Except for calling me teacher, I can say she is learning her good graces.

And then when she finished eating her chips, she would asked me to open the door for her so that she can thrown the wrapper in the trash can. hehe. And when her hands are dirty she would readily go to the sink in the cr to wash.

Way past midnight

Now I can feel my eyes starting to complain. I promise after finding the right weight loss supplements for me I would turn off the computer and head on to bed and sleep. But do I really need the supplement you might asked. Well, because of my lupus flare which resulted to an LBM episode for one week, I am now 10lbs lighter. And according to the husband it shows in my arms and my face. All I need to do is to make sure that I don't gain it back. Which means no coke and chocolates.

I am successful in avoiding coke since every time I drink it I got stomach spasm so to avoid the pain I opted on not drinking the liquid all together. I am just praying that I could maintain that. As for the chocolates that's a different story. hahaha. But I told myself I need to loss weight since the husband and I decided a change of plan. We might not go to Kuwait this year so that gives me a reason to plan an out of town getaway on December : Boracay or Palawan. Remains to be seen.

Assesment Week

Yesterday is the start of the assessment week of the little girl. Since she is part of the toddler class wherein the age of kids range from 2.5 to 3.5, there assessment is a bit different. For one, each student will only go once in school during the period of assessment. And only for one hour. Also, there were reminders that we don't need to review the kids and they would be assessed on what they know.

Then to make up for the no classes, worksheets were provided which they kids will do everyday. I am glad of the way the school is handling their teaching. I am just glad that no pressure whatsoever is given to the students because at an early age I don't think it's right to make them memorized anything nor pressure them to learn. Because that would take the fun out of learning.

I got lots of plan for next week. Hopefully the little girl would cooperate.

Less PC, Less TV

More Anevay time and always a happy little girl. I have spending less time on the computer this days to make sure that I monitor Anevay's activity. At this point I wanted to make sure there is improvement on her focus because we have been having problems with it in school and so I told myself that I would be making sure that I would do my best to keep her focus. Also, I wanted to make sure she used the write fingers in writing. hehe. And guess what ? She is responding so nicely. If I can afford one I would gladly book one of those destin fl vacation rentals and enjoy a vacation with her. She does not have classes for one week because of their assessment.I am glad that on their assessment, they are not forced to the exam. There was a note from the teachers that we don't need to review the kids and would just be assessed on what they know. That's nice since the toddlers class of Anevay have kids from 2.5 years to 3.

Excuse Me!

I have been trying to avoid going online this past couple of days. In fact, I am too lazy to blog that I waited until the last day before doing some task. I am still not feeling well, though my stomach have already subsided but I got occasional rise in my temperature. Hopefully that's not really a bad sign. But still I am going to check with my doctor on Wednesday.

Also, I have been irritated with what's going on online. Well, the irritation has been going on for months now. Seems like I have been seeing a lot of the 'bad side' of blogging and some bloggers in particular. Some are resorting to cheating and some are users. I wanted to avoid those kinds so I am spending as much as offline time as I can get so that I won't have to deal with them. haha.

I just hope they stop what they are doing. hay. kainez!

Elderly Care

For our country that is accustomed to tightly knitted communities, taking care of each member of the family is a must. No matter the age nor the situation, it is but expected that we look out for each other. Especially for those of our elderly loved ones. For other countries, when there loved ones reach old age they would readily look for a place that is giving out elderly care but believe it or not here in the Philippines that is a taboo.

It is expected that during old age, the young ones in the family would be there for support, love and care for the elderly. Because we believed that it's time to give back the love that we have received when we were young. And now that the old ones are no longer able to do the usual things it's time we step up. We try to provide our own nursing home services as much as possible.

Of course there are certain circumstances that we cannot control that there are families who decide to find a nursing home because of limited resources when it comes to taking care of their elderly. Which I think is also a practical choice on their part.

Whatever there choices is, either take care of their aged loved ones at home or sending them on nursing homes, as long as their is love, support and care that would really be nice.

Frustrating

I am on a very big challenge right now. Seems like that it's the time that Anevay is starting to change her attitude as she grows older. Now, almost everyday she throws a tantrum. And not just simple tantrums but tantrums equipped with crying with tears and laying on the floor with her marching feet. haha. You might think that she turns into a cry baby. Gawd! It frustrates me.

Also, she just had discovered the joy of shouting and it's really getting into me. She is energetic and sometimes cannot be persuade to sit still. Well, it's a challenge for her teachers as well. Fortunately though she does not like the tv much know. There are times when I turned it on but she would say turn it off mommy, turn it off. hahah.

We are struggling when it comes to writing. God help me but she still don't want to hold the pencil properly. haha. When I try to correct her she would smile and tell me so funny. hahaha.

I am just thankful that God is giving me tons and tons of patience. hahah. Or else I would be banging my head on the wall. bwahaha.

Upgrading

As of this moment I have two cameras. One of which should be send for repair because the flash is not working properly. And then the other one is newly bought. A stand in when I send the other one for repair. But I am still using both. In fact last Monday during one of the little girl's school activity, I used one for video and the other for still photos. But I am still not satisfied.

I am browsing through the cameras at stylehive.com and realized that I really wanted to upgrade. I wanted both a DSLR and a lomo camera. But I wanted a dslr first since I have been seeing that shots that were taken from that camera and believe me those are the shots that I wanted. The husband have agreed that we can buy one, all I really needed know is to save some funds so that by December we can do the purchase. Or I am thinking of buying it from an authorized reseller and then used my credit card for the zero percent interest. hahaha. Well, I still need to think about it but for now I wish the husband would have a camera with him when he goes to Germany by the third week of August. Yeah, he is going to Germany again. What a lucky fellow, eh? Though he said it just nothing since he went there last year. Hopefully in the near future we can accompany him.

Really Disgusting

Politics was never my favorite topic. I shy away from it because I have this principle that I don't have the right to complain about the trends that surrounded since I never have been a voter. Yeah, for the thirty years of my life I have never voted. Oh there was one time when I have to because a nephew of mine is running for Sanggunian Kabataan. haha. But now, I am going to change. I am going out and will register once time permits. I wanted to vote next year. Though as of this moment I have yet to think who would I be voting for.

But I am definitely sure that it's not Jamby Madrigal. I don't know why but ever since I never like the lady senator. For me she was elected because of Judy Ann Santos and she keeps on creating issues for herself and her family. I remember telling myself why a public servant like her would drag her families' problem of inheritance into limelight. It's really icky and a bit on a low moral. Then she kept attacking other presidential candidates only to later announced that she will be running also.

That's not all. Yesterday, I was surprised to her as one of those who were offering flowers to the last Pres. Aquino. Well, I think since many politicians where there it's a good opportunity for photo op. Yet, come to think of it. You would be of no conscience if you thought I using that as a window for a campaign. That's just so low, right? Yeah, but Jamby cannot help but grab that opportunity. Read this article...http://www.newmedia.com.ph/jamby-madrigal-defiles-cory-aquino-memorial-service/. It's just disgusting! She has the qualms to distribute yellow bracelet with her pictures on it. What was she thinking? Riding on the popularity. I know she has an ambition but h3ck! she should put it on the right direction.

Not in the mood

but feeling a lot better. Fortunately, after a week of experiencing LBM during the morning, my stomach has settled down. After drinking gatorade after gatorade, I wanted to believed that I did a good job preventing myself from experiencing dehydration and worst hospital confinement. Now, I can focus on doing my research about cross country movers. It's just an out of the blue topic that caught my attention. To satisfy my curiosity I have to read about it. Well, that's me. But I think I am developing a headache right now. Urgh! I did have a nap in the afternoon but unfortunately our neighbors just that time to sing their hearts out and have some videoke session. That spoils my sleep. sometimes you just can't control the insensitivity of other people, eh?

National Anthem

I was watching the tv for the interment of the the remains of the late President Cory and the little girl was with me. I was surprised when she sang the national anthem when she heard it being sang. Actually not being sang but being played. I was amazed that she knows its already. You know Anevay is struggling with Tagalog songs because she really does not speak Filipino so I am happy to hear her sing the national anthem. hehe.

Buy it!

I was exchanging text messages with my fellow mommies about the food that we are going to bring tomorrow for the Pistang Pinoy of the school. And as advised by one of the moms since there are a lot of yummy puto and kutsinta around the Marikina area, I should just buy given also my situation of having a lupus flare.

So, tomorrow, hopefully I won't be having some muscle pains (which sometimes I feel is cause by the stand fan on my side that's why I am now thinking of getting us a ceiling fan) I would be heading to a store which I found out in the internet that sells the said kakanin.

I love how I bonded with the four moms that I went on the preschool. They have turned friends who are helping me along the way. When I don't go to school they are there to watch out for Anevay and would really text me when there are concerns.
