Home Security

Now that we are not alone in the house I am more at ease. I can sleep well at night knowing that my brother and his family are just in the other room. We don't need any spy camera or surveillance camera just to make sure that are we are safe. But I think when the business that we are planning pushed through we might need some safety gadgets to install like the security camera that I saw at Brickhouse Security. We planned to buy some machines and stuff that we need and so we need them guarded. Hopefully by next month we already have the business and the business name. God willing. And I am also praying that by that time I am up on my feet and healthy already.

Update

I know among my five blogs this is the one you read the most. So, I made it a point to update it with post about Anevay to keep you up to date. I missed you. I miss talking to you. But because of my little accident things are busy right now and I know you are busy too. I cannot wait for December. I cannot wait for you to come home.

Right now, though recovering, I am in still happy. I got to rest but still connected to the outside world because of the wifi and the gadgets that you have bought for me and Anevay. While using them I am thinking and thanking you. And would you believe these gadgets also help us keep our sanity because they kept the kids busy as well. haha.

But still I missed your loving care. Your supportive approach. Your encouraging words. Ahh...I just missed your presence. I love you very much!

Hallo, Halloween!

Everybody is busy preparing for the Halloween and going to the province. Well, if I am not injured we would also be preparing to go to my parent's grave in our hometown. Unfortunately for this year, I would have to do the prayer and lightning of the candle here at home. I miss both my mommy and papa. It's been 15 years since their death. I know they are on a better place. But from time to time I wish they are still with us. Sometimes there are things that I wish for. Just like when I open some blinds and from the window I can see a them. That's wishful thinking. Anyway, I know they are still with us. They always visit me in my dreams when I am sick. And my little one would talk about them from time to time.

I know, i know I am talking about spirits here. Well, it's all Saints day. So what do you expect. But before that let me share with you pictures of my lovely pirate. She went to school wearing her pirates costumes because their theme is Pirates of the Halloween. At first she declined wearing it because she wanted to be a princess. but fortunately we were able to convinced her.

Here she is...

With Teacher Icka..

Group pic...

With Teacher Dyns..
I think they were taken outside the school and went to some houses around the village to do some trick or treating. She went home a bag full of candies which she showed us and later gave to her Ate Buma since she really don't eat candies. haha.

A Glimpse of School

I so love Anevay's school. They have been so supportive of me and the little one ever since the accident. They have let me transfer Anevay to PM session since it the most convenient time now because she wakes up late and our household is busy during the morning. Also, there was a time that they Anevay's teacher visited me and gave me lots of cards. The kids gave them to me. When her teacher left, I cried. It's God's way of showing how many people love me.

Then, since her teacher knows how I like taking pictures of her, both made me a contact in Facebook. And they are posting pictures of the activity of the kids. I feel like I am part of it all. I really don't regret transferring Anevay in Smallville.

Not only are they good educators but also they have a touch of love to everything they do.

phonics..

music..

arts...



With them Anevay have learned a lot. They are teaching kids to be well rounded. And just today, they have announced that one of their students have passed the Ateneo entrance exam! woot! woot!

Recall

I wonder if I should hire a personal injury lawyer just like Texas personal injury lawyer to help me in my accident. Well, I thought that the damages from the accident were just simple but now after a month I just realized what a huge inconvenience it has created for me and my family. For once, my brother has been incuring a lot of absences because he has to take care of me. I have been in bed for a month now and man, it's is really boring. Now, I am thinking. What does those victims from the hip recall of DePuy Orthopedics, owned by Johnson & Johnson feel especially if they are subjected to a second surgery. They really need to get the assistance of an hip recall attorney so that they would get the compensation and care that they deserved.

Mommy's Tale

I am going to post another batch of pictures and this time me with a swollen face because at this time I already started on high dose Medrol and oral chemotheraphy. When I was downloading this pictures I was asking myself what is the best weight loss pill I can use so that I would loss weight. Well, according to my brother I am already on my way. Just make sure I stay away from coke and he thinks the rehab would do me good. I hope so. I promise myself that from now on I would be conscious of what I eat and to exercise. I come to realized a lot of things because of the accident. But the important lesson of all is that I have to fight back no matter what the circumstances are because I have a pretty little girl waiting for me.

Here are pictures of me telling the kids the story...

Nice Birthday Pictures

As I said in my previous post I was busy swipping some pictures from the Facebook account of Anevay's teacher this morning. haha. And here are another batch that I took.

This were taken during Anevay's birthday celebration in school last July. You see, my face is not that swollen then because i was still not on oral chemotheraphy. And I have not cut her hair too. Now, I am missing that long hair.

on the first two picture we were doing the globe activity. Where Anevay was going around the globe and would stop and I would the class a picture of her from 1st to 3 years old. It was fun. See those eyebags? haha. The day before that we were on the airport. Fetch daddy. Went home by 12am. And then woke up early to cook.



Yeah, this is one of the moment that I would treasure forever.

Investing

I always ask myself when is the right time to invest. Well, I think anytime is the right time to invest as long as you have the money and would study your options wisely. For example, you can buy gold coin anytime at United States Gold Bureau. At that website you can arrange for gold and silver to be delivered to you or kept in a depository. Also, there are article or two there which you can read to learn more about the market. It will give you a definite boost as to how to handle gold to make it work to your advantage. I am hoping one day when everything is well, I can do some serious investments to secure our family's future.

My Little Chef

This morning I was meant to work. I started doing some research about travel emergency and got sidetrack with the pictures that the teachers of Anevay have posted in Facebook. I am so happy because through pictures I knew what the little one has been doing in school. I so love pictures. Here are some when they would dedicate a day cooking and pretending they are chef. Well, they are actually chef because they have a kitchen in school which was really designed to fit their height.

I like the idea that somehow Anevay is exposed to peeling potatoes and eggs, touching chicken and mixing soy sauce.

Lookie here!

With one of her Teachers...

Hmmm...hard boiled egs. Patiently unwrapping it.

So proud! They are carrying the potato wedges.

Rush to the ER!

And so my trip to the hospital starts once again. Sigh! I am not new to hospital confinement. In fact, when I had LUPUS, I was in and out of the hospital. In 2002, 2 confinement, 2003 - another two again, 2004 - another two. In 2006, I am lucky because the hospitalization is in a positive side. I gave birth to the lovely Anevay. Now, 2010. I got one in Oct 4 for the knee operation. And last Wednesday I was rushed to the ER because of severe leg pain. I was crying the whole morning of Wednesday because the pain was excruciating. My brother was constantly massaging my leg but to no avail. In the end we decided we called for an ambulance and another trip to USTH. It's quite embarrasing to ride an ambulance if your life is not on a 50/50 situation. but we don't have a choice since I still cannot bend my leg. And would you believe that when we arrived in UST, the pain was gone? Well, that was after a dizzy ride in the ambulance and a lot of throwing up. haha. I was in the hospital for three days. And doctors advised is I started rehab as soon as possible. I don't know how long would I stay in this condition. I am just praying for strength, courage and a lot of patience. So help me God!

Gold Bars

If there is one thing I am certain that would be we wont be traveling this year. Not sure also if the family would have a holiday getaway. Its frustrating but when I think of the travel expense we have this year which the husband has computed, it can already buy a decent house and lot. But I really like to back to Kuwait because we can spend three months there with the husband. That is whhere I also saw the opportunity to buy gold bars. I was really amazed that gold and gold bars are sold on small shop in a mall. In our next visit I was hoping to buy and collect them. But I don't know when will that happen. Haha. For now I am just content to browse at the US Gold Bureau website and dream about gold bars.

Apologies

I know this mommy blog have been lacking some personal updates and so are my other blogs. Also there is one blog that badly needs update and I have promised a lot of people about it. I know they wanted to know how I earn from home. My apologies from all this shortcomings since this year I have been challenge in terms of my health. Right now work has been pouring and I needed all the dough that come in since my medical expense have ballooned. That's why the lack of personal post. And since I am bedridden I only used my phone and netbook for blogging. Another hard task I can say. But promise once I am up and well I'll blog with a vengeance. Haha. For now please bear with me.

Excited yet Sad

Tuesday would be the last day of the little girl in school. After that it would be their semestral break. That would also there day for the Halloween party. The theme of the party is "Pirates of the Halloween". When I learned about the theme I was excited because she already has a pirates costume which Daddy bought last year. Unfortunately she does not want to wear it. Haha. I don't know what came over her but I was able to convinced her. Haha. I told her Teacher would love to see her as a pretty pirate and she could scare her classmates. She agrees! Now I am very much excited. Yet also sad because I wont be in school. Hopefully though she'll have a good time.

What to do?

A lot of friends have been asking me about what I do since most of them know I earn from home. I always tell them that what I do seem easy but at first you really have to devote time to eat. You won't hit it big the first time. And you have to make sure that it interest you also. Some were discouraged and have asked me of other options. I suggested they find what their heart desires. Like a friend of mine really love to beautify herself. She experiments on make up, love to make her hair and always paint her nails. I told her to go and enroll herself in a beauty school. Not as far as the Regency School, a cosmetology school in Phoenix. But a school that is just nearby. Well it's nicer if its Regency since it's an established school already and constantly expanding.

Kids!

My first concern in everything I do is my little girl even when I have health concern I always think of her. That's why when I had that accident in the grocery which resulted to a tendon being broken, I waited for a week before I consulted my doctor. I thought rest, medicine and some multivitamin will cure me. But I was wrong. When I went to my doctor he confirmed my fear. I needed to be operated as soon as possible. It was classified as high risk operation because I have Lupus, high blood pressure and history of blood clot. I have to undergo series of test before the operation. I was scared. I thought I won't see my little princess again. Also at the back of my mind I was thinking how she would deal with me not being on her side for the first time. It was sheer torture. But as days goes by I realized that the separation is also good for us. I was able to fully rest. Which my body needs and the little girl enjoyed having her cousins around. She is surrounded by family. And as it turn out she's a happy camper having a playmate everyday.

Wishes!

I hope I own a cabin furniture that I could easily used. Right now I am still bed. We are trying our best to start walking. It's tough because the Immobilizer weigh a lot and I am a bit scared. But despite of all his there are still a lot of things to be thankful for. For one the little girl is back to school already. She finished her exam though we were not able to join the trip today to Timberland Heights. Next week they have a Halloween party but she refuses to wear her pirate costume at this time. I wish I can find a way to make her wear it. Ah wishes! I have lots of it. But the greatest is for me to stand up and walk and received a clean bill of health from the ortho next week. I hope the wound from the operation is healing a lot better. Oh God, this I pray to you

Keeping it CLEAN!

One of the things I am proud of as a homeowner is the fact that even if I don't have a helper I have maintained our house clean and pest free. I make it a point that every corner of our house is given attention and at the first sign of a pest I would surely find a way to control it. But I know not all homeowners are like that. Sometimes also the location of their house is attractive to pest. I guess for situation such as this they would have to resort to hiring companies like Bulls-Eye Pest & Termite Control.
Bulls-Eye Pest & Termite Control is a Houston pest control company which specializes on termite, pest, fire ant and flea control. So if you need help when it comes to pest control do keep them on your mind.

Happiest!

Truth was I am dreading this kind of situation. When I am all tied on the bed and can't do anything but stare on the ceiling. But God really is God. Not only did allow me to live after a very high risk operation but he also provide me with things so that I won't get bored while recovering. Also I can still work and interact with others. And having my older brother's family here really helps. Everyday is full of laughter. The kids are after my brother's quest to trim down his tummy. Just yesterday he was doing his sit ups and the kids are counting and cheering him on. They all end up laughing I was telling him he might be interested in looking through the http://www.musclebuilders.org and who knows it might help him. You see there is no harm in trying especially if its for the well being of your body right? That's why I promise myself that when I am fully recovered I would shed off the excess pounds that I have.

Helping out

Since my brother's family is here in our house because they are taking care of me I have the chance to talk to everyday and teach them a thing or two about stuff that I know would benefit them. For one I introduced my sister in law to the world of digiscrapping. She is really creative and in the past she is a layout artist in a magazine. So to start with I gave her a list of the best web directories for digiscrapping. I hope she would enjoy doing it and who knows she might end up earning from it. On the other hand I am quite excited with my older brother's project. Well it would be our first business venture and I sure hope it would be operational before December. By that time I wish I am also fully recovered.

In times of pain

Yesterday or should I say the other night I again was visited by the painful muscle cramp in my upper right arm. If that happens all else is forgotten because it will leave me just lying in bed praying that the massage of my siblings would heal me. Fortunately I found a way to still work. But I regret not being able to help a friend who needed cash because her husband was robbed. I don't have enough cash and my ATM is with my sister. Of course I also don't have gold coins at home. Which I wish I have so that I can help all my friends who needed help. I love what the husband have told me on our last chat. He reminded me that out goal is not to ne rich but rather to be able to help a lot of people without expecting anything in return. You see how great the man I married? Well, for that to happen I wish I can acquire a lot of gold coins and be able to get a lot of information from United States Gold Bureau about the gold market so that we can generate an investment which will boost our goal.

Glad!

Last night the husband and I were able to talk over skype. Sometimes the line is not clear but we both are patient because one, we missed each other ;) and second it's free! haha. Unfortunately, because I was in the room and the light is not good he was not able to see me. I was telling him that it's okay since I seem like to be really needing some diet pills for women. hehe. But since my husband loves me so much he swear I am still the most beautiful in the world for him. hehe. Thanks mahal.

We have been talking about our plans for the future. We still are clueless on what road to take but we are sure of our missions. We hope that God would direct us and help us in our goal. I am praying that next week, I would be able to received the funds that I am expecting. And then we can roll out the plans that we have. It would be one step at a time but I am hoping that by November everything will be in full swing. And we can see clearly the road.

Life's like that!

Listening to Alanis right now while I can smell the food that my brother is cooking and the kids are busy playing. I miss this set up, wherein you are surrounded by family. I love the noise that comes with it. And the feeling of being loved by a lot of people. I am still in bed. But I worked. And surf the net and reading through www.thermogenesis.org.

Despite being sick and all, I am still happy. It means a lot to me that my brother's family is here. They prevent me from negative and all. And also, the bed rest has been giving me a lot of ideas which I wanted to explore when I am well and on my feet. As I have told my husband, the trials would be a way of God to show me some of the things that life has to offer me.

With the accident I am thankful that I have a loving family who have matured enough to know how to deal with the trials that are coming our way gracefully. I have a husband who even if he is far is constantly reminding me how he loves me and that he never fails to assure me that things would get better. And of course, our Anevay. The smart, funny and beautiful miracle who is our guiding light. She is a reminder to me that life is like that and it would get better everyday.

Just like a Baby

It's frustrating. I am an adult yet I can't function like one. I feel like a huge burden eventhough my family have been very sweet to me. I can't thank them enough. You see I am bedridden right now. Limited movements since it's a no no to bend my knee. But I think I can stand up. Like a child I have to learn the basics. I don't care if I have to use all the tv stands in the world when I am walking what matters now is I have to have the confidence that I can do it. It's hard. Its like I really am a baby in a nappy. Lol! But I learn to cherish the time in bed. And the thought that my family is always there for me. I can't wait to stand up!

It wasn't so Bad!

Resurfacing. This week has been full of ups n Downs, tears n slaughters. I still am not in the mood to tell all and I still don't want to reminisce because its too painful for me. Right now all I can say is I am happy very much happy to be alive, at home surrounded by my loving families. Through my gadgets I can still work like directory submit websites of my brother to gain some traffic. We have lots of plans which I hope would happen. Some of which are big ones. Life changing. Because of what happen to me I'm taking a different look at our future. I wish I had a fast recovery. I pray to GOD to give me enough strength.

House Hunting...Again?

Because of what happen to me, I started rethinking about our future. And then my brother in law suggested that if the husband and I want we can relocate near them. In the province, where I was born. We won't go back to our original house ( because it's always flooded during the rainy season ) but in the subdivision where their house will be built. I have not seen the place yet but I hope it would be like the baja real estate. Baja Real Estate Group located in Rosarito Beach. Well let see. My priority now is to survived this knee surgery first.

Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue

We are watching TinkerBell and the Great Fairy Rescue and we are enjoying it. Actually the whole family of my brother is here and the little girl is having the grand time of her life because she has a lot of playmate. This is really made me think. I don't like the isolation anymore. My accident have made me rethink things and now another life changing decision is on the loom.

The Story of the Yellow Flower

Yesterday we went to UST for a check up with my cardio. While doing some XRAY, Anevay saw some yellow flowers and called them Marigold ( because of one of Special Agent OSO episode). Since we were in UST and we have to wait for hours my older sister decided to go to Dangwa. Yeah, Dangwa. It was my first time to go there and I was laughing so hard when she got back and told me that the yellow flowers are not Marigold. hahaha. She believed that the name of the yellow flowers are Marigold. lol. We were all laughing and the little one was so happy.

Positivity

I wish I could find some gold coins around the house which I can convert to cash. This debacle I have is both emotionally and financially draining not to mention tiring too. After this I promise myself I would go a different way. My sister and I have already put up a planned and hopefully after a succesful knee surgery we can start it. For now I would try to learn a thing or two about gold market from usgoldbureau.com. So that after the surgery I can have something to occupy my mind and some additional knowledge that would help me out. That is if god would grant me my wish and give another chance for life. I am a bit worried. But I know everything is going to be alright.

Big brother

Woke at 4am today, I was due for a 2d echo and a scan on my blogs. To check if there are already blood clot. Thank God there was none. I owe a lot of people some thanks. Hay, this is going to be succesful. I would still be alive after this. Sounds morbid but for me a simple knee surgery is high risk. Hay,

Cramming

I am off to the hospital tomorrow. I still cannot put into writing what I am going through. Though I know I should never be stressed because I am still blessed despite of all the pain that I have been through. This too shall pass. And I don't have to worry because worries cost acne but if you wanted to get rid of it click here. I guess I really have to get used to the idea that I have to leave my little girl behind for a few days. Actually right now I am not that worried anymore. She seems enjoy having her cousins around and she is growing into her tita's presence. The only problem is eating time. haha.

Buzzer Beater

I decided to rest than to blog. Because for three days I am outside the house and always in UST. Good thing we hired a van but still it's tiresome. Good thing my sister is with me. I love her very much. I wept everytime I remember my worries but she is always there for the hugs and kisses. Thanks Ateng. 20 minutes..have to rush.

Running out of Cash

This last three days have been stressful for me. Today, I just dozed off forgetting all my worries. Thank god for families. But I am stressed but I am running out of cash. At this moment I wish I have bullion which I can used to trade and have some for my hospital expenses. When this is all over I promise I would really look into the gold market and browse through the usgoldbureau.com website. I wish, I wish, but above all I hope I would live longer after the surgery. I am still worried but not that worried because I saw how capable my doctors are. and the result today somehow appeased my worries. Its just my first time to be without the little girl. I would be away for at least three days hopefully.
