Bye, Bye, Diapers!

I am not sure what struck me. But last night while waiting for the little girl finished off her common session I have this terrible pang of sadness. I am trying to analyzed what I am feeling but it boils to the fact that I am feeling the Christmas breeze, seeing a complete family and maybe a little bit of the lupus depression. And I miss my husband terribly. Urgh!

When I got home, I quickly dialed his number. I don't care if he is working or driving. I just wanted to hear his voice. Fortunately, I was able to talk to him. And somehow hearing his voice soothes me. He has that effect on me. But in the end, I still end up teary eyed. haha. And motivated. Finally, we have a business on mind. And yes, I am enthusiastic about it. We will start scouting now for the machines. This got the husband all the more excited to go home this Christmas. Well, he really wanted to go home asap but we don't have a choice. He badly wanted to play personally with her little princess.

Speaking of the little princess, don't you love her curls? I am still having second thoughts if I am going to cut her hair or not. She have been diaper free for one week now whenever she sleeps. I still put on her diaper when she goes to school because I don't want her teacher cleaning up after her. But I am already thinking of talking to her teachers on her potty training in school..

I love how she is growing up. All the hard work and focus that I am putting in are showing. She always gives me that big smile with an I LOVE YOU MOMMY follow up.

Fresh Flowers

Almost everybody is on a rush. Everyone is making their trip to the cemetery to pay respect to their departed loved ones. On our part we will be heading north on the first of November to visit the grave of my papa and mommy. Hopefully, the typhoon would change its mind and would give us a rain free weekend. I was asking my sister if I would be the one buying the fresh flowers or her. You see, according to the news, the prices of flowers had doubled because of the the law of demand and supply. And the flower market was affected by the recent typhoon that wrecked havoc in our country. If only I did not get sick and was able to pushed through my plans for my garden. I might have been able to produce the flowers that we need. Well, there's always next year for that. For now, for your flower needs you can check out 1800flowers.com. They have flowers for any occasions!

Good Morning, Friday!

Clock reads 8:16 AM. I am up already at 4am. My usual waking time. The little girl woke up at around 6am, though I still wanted for her to go back to sleep because it the start of her sembreak already. She has no classes starting today until the 4th of November. I have so many things on hand today but my priority is to segregate the toys and clean the little girl’s toy rack.

Since we will be going home to Pampanga on the 1st, I will be taking that opportunity also to bring some stuff for baby Keisha. I think she can now appreciate some of the toys of Anevay when my little one was one year old. Oh how fast time flies. hhmm…I don’t want to sound melodramatic. I have been in a very sad mood since last night and I don’t want to dwell on it. There is something in the air that makes me lonely. haha.

Anyway, yesterday, I got something that made my day brighter. I did not realized that I ordered a lot from Faye. And to think this are just a part of my order. So, I think that answers the question where do my online income goes? haha. But I am one happy shopper! Look at what I got.

The coach sling bag…which I plan to give to someone as Christmas gift..

my coach wallet…which I super love!

another Lacoste bowling bag ( I gave the one I previously bought to my older brother). And I was a bit surprised that the bag was really roomy. It look small in the picture (well, I thought it was small) but lo when I saw it I feel in love with it more. haha.

my kate spade kikay kit. I regretted the fact that I was not able to take a picture of it while Anevay was holding it. Grabe, kikay na kikay. and of course, another batch of RL dresses for the little girl.

and thanks Faye for the freebies. Really appreciate it!

I still have some incoming orders from Faye. So if you want authentic stuff like bags, watches, even RL dresses for your cute princesses drop by Faye’s blog @ quicker8.com

Tees or Pots?

Have you started your Christmas shopping? Me, I have. It's nothing major yet since I put a shopping ban on myself for this month until the middle of November. I overspend last month so as a punishment I told myself to lessen my expenses. But of course, that won't prevent to start my list of gifts and where to buy them, so that when I lifted my self imposed ban it would be easier to shop! Now as I write down the names of family and friends plus the gifts I am planning to give them, I always stopped at my sister in laws name. I am having a hard time deciding what to give her. Would it be the branded bag and t-shirts that I have already purchased or buy those pretty pots that I saw online?

You see when my sister in law saw and have used my non fry cooking pan one time and she cannot help but rave about it. That got me an idea that maybe, just maybe, it would be nice to give her a set of pots and pans for their house. Since most of their stuff were washed away by the flood from Typhoon Ondoy. The 'practical housewife' in me feels that this would really make my sister in law happy but a set is expensive. Especially those made from stainless steel. I just wish I can stumble upon a promo which will reduced the original price to a certain percentage. Or I can take advantage of the use of online coupons that I found at www.coupontrunk.com.

The Cooking Enthusiast promotions would give me a great deal of savings if I used them. And it would also give my sister in law a new enthusiasm to cook delicious food with those pretty sets. So, what shall I give her this Christmas, tees or pots?

Oh, I love to get one set for myself also.

Employee's Welfare

A day before yesterday I received a text message from my husband while I was putting our little girl to sleep. He was asking me to call him if I am still awake. At that point I knew that he needed my moral support. True enough when I asked him what was wrong he told me that he has already resolved the problem. But before my call he was having trouble putting one machine online. He was just glad to hear my voice. And then he continues on by telling me that his car is in the repair shop. Oh well, that means another expense coming our way.

Really, I don’t mind since the gas where my husband work is really cheap and his company is giving away a monthly car allowance for their field employee. I think allowances like this really perks up employee. Knowing that the company they are working looks after their welfare. That’s why salute those companies who have Fleet program and are working hand in hand with crsinc.com to make sure that their vehicle reimbursement program works delivers what their employees need.

Crsinc.com is a company that serves as a third party for those who has mobile employees. They process vehicle reimbursement and the steps in between to make sure those employees receive their allowances on time.

Daddy’s Present

The Daddy has been very busy. Busy shopping for toys! haha. And because of that I am pressured to clean up the toy rack of the little girl and even the room in our garage where I put in the old toys of Anevay. I have inquired with Jollibee but unfortunately there Maaga ang Pasko campaign has not started yet. But still, I plan to segregate and donate some stuff and then there are also toys that would go to Keisha.

Interested on what toys the little girl would be receiving from Daddy ?

Anevay loves doll house and castles. That’s why at present she has two castle and one doll house. But I am also planning to buy her those life size Disney princess dolls I saw at Toys-R-us.

Trick or Treat Party

The actual plan of the school was for this year we would be celebrating United Nations and Halloween. The kids would be trick or treating wearing their United Nations costumes but because of what happen, the school decided to just have a simple trick or treat party and discourages us parents to buy new costumes. So, I decided to let Anevay wear her ballerina outfit and her fairy wings and tutu.

I am thinking of using those photos on the holiday cards we are going to use for Christmas. I was telling a fellow mom that there is an advantage to coming early. We were able to take lots of pictures of the kids. Of course, I won’t be uploading them here because I respect the privacy of both the kids and the parents.

We were able to distribute lots of goodies. The kids were having fun because most of them were able to fill up two bags. haha. Anevay, unfortunately, who isn’t fond of candies and chocolates just fill up her orange pail and was happy with the alphabet mat that she got from the principal. I think the letters made her day and she just simply ignores the candy. Which I gave to her cousins in the end.

The event was fun and successful! This Friday we were invited to participate in the trick or treat activity in a nearby subdivision. Hopefully, it won’t rain.

Budgeting

One of the most challenging and my not so favourite task as a homemaker is budgeting, especially if you have limited funds to budget. I have this experienced when the husband and I are still working. Yes, both of us are working yet we always end up short a week after our pay period. It’s a good thing that the husband, aside from his monthly salary is part of a group that receives a Car allowance program.

Since he is a field engineer, he is entitled to what we call the transportation allowance. The allowance has been heaven sent to us because it finances his gas expense. I think every company with mobile employee gives this kind of compensation. And if you are one of them and you have not yet established a sound system to process all your employees reimbursement you can check out crsinc.com. They are a company who would help you out when it comes to program that involves vehicles and travels of your mobile employee. Said company has a nice website that explains everything you need to know. So be sure to check them out and give them a shot. They would make your reimbursement process fast, easy and reliable. Not to mention time and cost saving too!

MommyHood!

I think I wrote it here before. About my fellow preschool moms turned into friends and how we spiced up our morning with all the rants about the assignments and activities of our little ones. haha.

Last Friday, I was able to chat with them again (according to K I am always missing in action..hahaha) because I went to school to pay for the tuition. All five of us were there and were talking about our experiences during the typhoon, the rotational brown out and the recent assignments of the preschoolers. We were really laughing hard until we realized it's way past the 8:30am curfew for moms. So we disbanded.

But before that, we were able to plan a Divisoria trip this week. I am not sure if I can join them though. And also there's the threat of Typhoon Ramil this week. So, we don't know yet. And just today, one of the moms texted me about the size of the can that we need for the assignment this week. She forgot about it. Good thing, I found the fox's container and told her not to stress about it because I already have one for her daughter. haha. Stage mom we are. But it's fun!

Tomorrow I am going to school again. And that means a lot of stories again. Now, I have to go offline to iron the uniform of this little girl.

Moving

I plan to transfer this blog into the webhost that I have an account with. Though I have not encountered any major problems with blogger but still I have this nagging feeling that there a vital element that it lacks. Maybe because I am a technical person who loves to used all those plugin that enhances your blog. Or maybe because there are limited templates for bloggers. I am not sure what it is but basically I want to move. That way also I only have to maintain one hosting account. So that is just one payment all at once.

I am just glad I stumbled upon the webhosting company that is hosting four out of five blogs that I have. At that time I was looking for a host I did not have webhostingchoice.com to relay on. I just did my own research and prayed hard that it would do me good. After two years, I am still satisfied with it. In fact, I just renewed my contract with them for another two years. I am just lucky that I did not encounter problems with them even though at that time of sign up I have not really any feedback about them.

Unlike now that one can read about webhosting company (if there good or not) and what one should look for in a host via the webhostingchoice.com website. This site will give you a ran down of all your available option and which company is good at what category. My host for my wordpress blog is voted as Best Support. Indeed they are!

An Anevay Update

Besides being busy with the household chores..which I have yet to finished before I put on those Christmas decors, I have been busy taking care of course of my one and only princess. She has been developing a lot lately, physically and psychologically. She has shown a lot of improvements and I’m so happy about it. I always have a good laugh everyday because of her, especially when she would asked me the lines ‘What’s so funny, mommy?’. Yeah, she would asked you that when you laugh all of a sudden.

I would have love to share all her lines with you but because my memory is not good as before I always end up forgetting them. But here are some…

Anevay : Mommy, hold my hand!

Mommy : Okay. (holds Anevay’s hand)

Anevay : Best friends, today, tomorrow and always. Liana, where are we. In trouble! But what else is new (she’s imitating a scene from the Barbie and Diamond Castle movie)

Here’s another which I told the husband if I am going to be embarrassed or not. Last Friday, one of her classmates celebrated his birthday. They were given some loot bags which consist of candies which she does not want to eat but would like to open. In the end, I end up eating all open candies. After taking a nap, she remembered the loot bag and inspected it.

Anevay : My bag is empty. Where are all my candies?

Mommy : Remember, you asked me to eat them. I ate your candies, baby!

Anevay : What? You ate all my candies! (she is speaking while her hands were on her hips.) ;(

Last Saturday, Daddy called up while she’s watching something on TV. I can’t remember what but it has an hot air balloon on the scene. She asked me what was it and I told her hot air balloon.

Daddy : Anevay, what is it?

Anevay : It’s an hot air balloon daddy! (and then she motioned the cell towards the tv). Oh no! daddy don’t touch it’s hot. it’s hot! (hot air balloon nga naman)

One time during the repainting session of the carpenter, Anevay seen his shadow on the window. Anevay rushed to my side and told me she’s scared. When I asked her why she was scared she pointed the shadow. So, to explained to her that there is nothing to be scared about we went outside and told her it’s just the carpenter painting the wall. No need to be scared. So we went inside. This time she saw a lizard in the wall.

Anevay : Mommy, mommy, there is an alligator on the window. It’s painting the wall too!

And her favorite line…Thank you Mommy for helping me out! Bow! Oh that’s in addition to ‘Say sorry to Avey’ line. haha.

my not so little princess…

Gate Project..DONE

Pardon the lack of updates. I have been busy around the house and I have so little time online but things are working out great for me. My health is cooperating with all the cleaning I am doing (but I still think that having a Blue Advantage at hand would definitely give me a peace of mind). I am keeping my fingers crossed that this would continue. Though I am busy with the cleaning I make sure I took some rest and when my body is aching all over I would cancel all my plans and just lay down on bed.

This week, the repainting of our gate was finished. After almost two weeks. Well, we have an uncooperative weather. And before the repainting, the carpenter who I contracted for the job put in some water proofing on our roof. Remember during the typhoon Ondoy, water came rushing in our house from the garage. It was just leak but just the same I end up cleaning. To avoid the repeat of that incident I decided to have someone checked our roof. And he told me that there are lots of leaves that were stock in the roof…so he cleaned it. And then there is no water proofing. That’s why he bought some stuff to go about the job. That cost me around Php 1k and then Php 1.5k for his labor. Then I told him about my plans for repainting and the rest is history.

Now…here are our newly repainted gates and front wall.

From this look…picture was taken Dec 2008

To this...

This is the front wall of our house. where I am planning to decorate for Christmas.

and here are the gates. One is for our garden and the other one our laundry area.

I think I spent around 7K for the materials + labor for our roof + repainting. Not bad! Next project..our GARDEN!

Let Go!

After almost three months, I told my cleaning lady yesterday not to continue working for me anymore. Over the past few weeks, she has been a headache rather than a big help to me. Maybe because I was not very vocal and have given her the free will to do what she likes when she it comes to cleaning. As if she cleaned.

Well, lately I observed that she is not doing any cleaning. She spends half of her day washing our clothes. And to think that we only have a few to be washed. She never did follow my instructions and insisted doing on what she wanted. Maybe because she is older than men. And then something that I can no longer tolerate. She gets something from inside our house without asking for my permission.

And just this morning, I discovered that she took the bottle of oil (that has still oil in it) and never told me. I did not know about it until I decided to fry the fish. Every time she goes home she would be bringing along plastic bags with stuff on it. And since I am afraid to offend her I don't check what's inside. Well, now I am glad that I did let her go! I'll just go back to doing the laundry. The cleaning, well I do it even if she is there.

Beauty School

It’s always nice to be beautiful, right? That’s why a lot of women spend countless hours in the salon just to get the overall look that they wanted. From head to foot, we wanted to make sure that we shine. That’s also the reason why beauty business is in boom today. It never run out of customers. And also that’s why many opted to try enrolling themselves in beauty schools like the beauty school houston. They wanted to explore the world of making other people beautiful since this profession does not only generate income but also help others achieved confidence and beauty. Well, if you asked me if I am going to change career then it’s one option I would consider since I love beauty at its finest.

Doing Good!

Despite the fact that the little girl has now cough and colds because of the weather, I can still say we are doing good. I make sure that she eats three full meals everyday. Starting with a bowl of oatmeal and a glass of milk for breakfast. I was so happy that on her last check up, she recorded a gain of 1kg and 1cm for just two weeks! Improvement like that makes me a happy mom!

Though with the weather and scheduling of the brown out I am a bit paranoid about the mosquitoes that I always apply an insect repellant to her arms and legs. I am so afraid of dengue. Every time I see mosquito bites on her I beg God that it won't be dengue. lol. I know I am paranoid but a mom have to pray hard right for her baby.

After the brouhaha on the costume for her foundation day, the activity was canceled as well as their field trip. It's a bit sad but a better decision on the part of the school. We channel the funds that we will be using for the field trip to other meaningful ways.

Today after finishing all task, we would be going to SM. I need to buy inks for my printers and some paper so that when the little girl has an assignment we do not need to go out. For this week, we need to do a homework about animal habitat. lol. Mommy is busy!

The Kumon Update

I have not been diligent in blogging about the update regarding the Kumon sessions of Anevay. Most of the time because of all the activities, my train of thoughts is disrupted and I forgot what to write.

Anyway, last week Anevay was given a new set of worksheets. It's a sort of moving up for us. Yehey! We graduated from counting cars, cows, frogs etc. hahaha. Now we have to count dots everyday. For a mom like me though repetitive it's enjoyable also because I see the progress of the little girl. Not only in terms of counting but also in her focus in studying. Believe me she improved a lot. From the little girl who can't seem to stay still for one second she can now finished her ten page worksheet in just five minutes.

That is also the observation of her instructor in Kumon. We are so happy that Anevay can now focused and be on the chair for one hour. That's a big thing for a three year old you know. A toddler's attention span is short so it's a blessing that our little Anevay is really growing. Oh I am so sad! My baby is now a little girl! haha.

Time of the Year

Yesterday during my idle time I started doing my Christmas list. And as compared to last year, my list this year is a bit long since the little girl is in school already and there are a lot of people who have been helping us along the way for this year. And I am also excited to shop. Right now, for my immediate family I am still clueless what to give them. I am thinking for my older sister and her two kids I would give them matching discount costume jewelry. I have been seeing some nice jewelries at holstedjewelers.com and thinking of trying them. Especially the heart shaped necklace. My sister has been wanting one for the longest time now. But of course, I have to consider my budget. That’s the main reason why even if I am rearing to go and shop I am still preventing myself. Maybe, by the start of November I would start my Christmas shopping.

During BROWN OUTs

I have a bored child in the house! hahaha. And to fight boredom, on the second night she insisted on coloring and writing and tracing. She wanted to read a book but I am a bit apprehensive because I remembered the story of my husband who would hide under the covers and would only used flashlight to read. Which damaged his eye sight.

But I think the emergency light which we are using is enough to light the table and the book so the little girl enjoyed her activities.

She is growing up to be a studious though I know its too soon to tell. But I am glad all my hard work are paying off and she is helping me out by showing me how she loves to learn!

A Big Convenience

On the month of May this year we experienced a brown out during dawn. At that time, the little girl's sleep was interrupted because she was used to sleeping with the air conditioning on. I shared this experience with my older sister and she recommended on buying rechargeable electric fan. And so when the husband went home last June I asked him to accompany me to the appliance store to pick both a lamp and fan. We did this on his last day. I was very persistent to have both this products at home because I am thinking of the rainy days that is to come. This proves to be a wise decision since now we are enjoying the convenience of both. First during the typhoon and now during the scheduled brownout.

Last night, a fellow pre schooler mom texted me that both products are now out of stock on every mall they went to. She wanted to buy one because she has a four year and one year old that would throw tantrum during brown outs. According to her even those malls in the QC area does not stocks for it. Oh well! I am glad I have both. But the husband wants us to buy a generator now. hehe.

Investing in Gold

Here I am again looking for ways to help the husband generate some more funds for the family. True, what he is earning is more than enough for the three of us but we have a lot of monthly payments that eats up mostly his earnings. Yeah, we have the housing loan, equity for the second house, insurance, utility bills etc. See, now I believe that if you income is big, you expenses is even bigger. Lol. But I am hoping by next year, we can establish a budgeting that can fit everything and would live some funds for the rainy days. With the current battle with the change of calamity I am getting more and more paranoid. I wanted to always have cash on hand on our safe and also a third house just in case something went wrong in our current house due to unforeseen events. The recent calamities have made me realized that you will really know what will happen in the future.

But as the husband always says, we have to find other options to expand our funds. We should be on the lookout for sound investment. Like US gold coins. With what I have read and learn a lot of people are into investing in gold. Why not? Gold as an element is really precious. And if melted it can also be turned into valuable jewelry just like silver. And now, I just learn that gold is also used for coin. And said coins are good investments since after buying it you can readily sell it. Especially if you need the money.

Now, more and more investors buy gold. I wished we had the funds to do that also but unfortunately we still have a lot of payables that we have to settle before investing. Fortunately while waiting for the funds I can read about gold coins and study it so that when the time comes to dive in I have armed with the necessary knowledge to make us successful gold investor! Hopefully that would come true in the future so that the husband and I can help more people.

To Wordpress?

i am planning on transferring this blog to wordpress. I don't have anything against blogger but I prefer wordpress over it. And since all my blogs are hosted by the said platform already I might as well transfer this one. Oh well. If i am not busy. For now I need to write one good article for my new blog. later.

Roofing and Repainting

The moment Mr. Sun have shone last week, I contacted a carpenter and asked him to check on our roofing. I don't want a repeat of the incident wherein our gutter overflowed and the rain water went inside the house. Luckily after putting a sound water proofing, another storm came and the roof was put to test. As of the last heavy rainfall, our garage flooring is now dry. Thank heavens!

And since the carpenter seems to need money he bought some materials for the painting of the gate. So, as a help I just let him worked. He has a family, I think he has two kids. As of the moment our front gate is now newly repainted. Tomorrow he'll be working on other gates of our house. On the last week of this month I planned to change the roofing of our laundry area. The roof has a lot of holes already and it's making the clothes wet when it rains. Yeah, house improvements on the way! I just learned that for houses its better to do the repair as soon as possible.

Updates

I wanted to write something that is happy here but unfortunately because of all the stressed and tension that typhoon Ondoy has brought I don’t feel like writing. But I know there are friends who wanted some update and even my husband ( who if not for his sacrifices we would not be safely tucked in our house while the storm is wrecking havoc).

The onslaught of Ondoy started on Saturday morning. Nobody expected heavy rains. Actually I was preparing for school at the time I woke up because Anevay has to attend the make up class in Ingenium. But it’s really raining hard so I decided to call the school and they confirmed that the make up class was cancelled. After feeding her I decided to blog since I was able to grabs a few jobs that morning and with the heavy rain I was thinking that my dsl might be cut off and so was the electricity.

At around 9 or 10 I just noticed that there is water in our doorstep already. I somehow panicked because I am confident of our location. No matter how heavy the rain is we won’t be submerged with water. I called my brother up to asked for his assistance because I was already thinking of our appliances. But unfortunately, there apartment was already submerged in flood water that is knee deep. I try calming myself and went out the garage to check where the water is coming from. And I thank God that it was just from the roof. Seems like our gutter overflowed already. Shocked to see water, I was not able to think at first. I was just staring at the water and thinking of a solution. Then I saw the containers lying around. Oh man. Such a nice timing! A week before I decided to clean up the room in garage. That is where the leak is. And then I decided also to give all stuff that were on the container to the man who collects junk for a living. If I did not do that there would be a lot of trash to throw and there are all unusable. At least I was thinking, when I gave all our stuff to the man they still can be used. I am just praying that the man was able to save all those during the typhoon. Anyway, this is how the room looks like.

I was figuring out a way to stop the water from coming inside the house since I was afraid that Anevay might slip. This is the inside of our house. After cleaning up everything was back in our house. But unfortunately that only applies to us. My brother already transferred to their neighbor who has second floor. Then in the afternoon, cable went off, then followed by the electricity and afterwards the phone lines and dsl. I was already feeling a bit scared at that moment because it was only me and Anevay in the house. The only thing that calm me is my rosary.

Night time I was not able to connect with the cellphone of both my brother and Luis. I was worried but I know God will protect them. We were able to sleep at around 11pm. During that time I am thankful that despite being young and inexperienced I still have some maternal instinct in me. I have stocks of candles and emergency light and even rechargeable electric fan. There are days when I questioned my capabilities to being a wife and mom but there are days that convinced me that I am on the right track. Anyway, something funny happen then.

Anevay dozed off in the small sofa at around 5pm. She woke up 7pm and you know how kids are, right? She does not want to sleep but I am so tired and sleepy that I told him to sleep already. There was no electricity and we are just using candles and one emergency light. While laying on bed, she told me, Mommy there is GRANDPA! (yes, she was referring to my deceased father) and she was pointing at the door. Tired and scarred I choice to ignore her comments and did not dare look at the door. lol.

The next day, was a Sunday and I thought everything was back to normal. Anevay and I went to church. There are few parishioners who attended the 7:30 mass. Since we don’t have cable I did not what have happen. Electricity was restored in our house at around dawn. Little by little the effect of the typhoon in our area unfolds in my eyes. The balloon vendor was not around, the bakery has no bread, there was a line in the water refilling station. We visited Anevay’s pedia and even though the clinic was just across our street they still don’t have electricity. After the check up we headed to the grocery and the line was really long. Rustans does not accept credit cards at that time because there lines are affected. It was the first time I saw a line in Jollibee that long. We went home afterwards and my brother and his family arrived.

Almost a week have passed and they are still no where near the finish line of cleaning. Their apartment was muddy and according to the kids stinks! haha. Their clothes were all wet and dirty. Good thing I have a cleaning lady. I let her help washing their clothes. And then something also happen this week. The husband’s parents came and visited us after almost two years of not showing up. I am glad that they did.

Now, there is another typhoon in the country. PAGASA said its a super typhoon. But I am confident that it won’t be one. Because of the combined prayers that we are now saying. Hopefully next week everything will be back to normal. The cable was restored yesterday and now the phone lines too! The kids can now have other things to do. Look at them… bored.

At this point they are having a movie marathon. Disney Princess Marathon! to the horror of Luis. haha. That he opted to help with cleaning up their house that be trapped in our house watching Barbie. hahaha. He was more than glad when my DSL was restored and he can play Restaurant city in Facebook. Anevay on the other hand is having the time of her life. She wakes up to the sight of her Kuya and Ate and she would sleep tired because of a day of play.

Through this all, I wanted to thank my ever supportive husband. Daddy, all your sacrifices are worth it. Thank you very much for buying the house for us. While other people feels the onslaught of the storm and submerged in water we are here in the house secured and safe. And after the rain and flood, I am thankful to have cash in my wallet and funds to withdraw in our ATM. It definitely helped a lot to have something to hold on to during this time of disaster. You may not be physically here and you’re working hard there but all your efforts can be seen because its not only me and Anevay who benefits from all your sacrifices and you know that. I love you daddy and thank you very much!

Hopefully, our dream of having to buy those Las Vegas Show Tickets for relaxation would come true.
