Laundry Day

I have to jumpstart on my laundry today and tomorrow instead of Saturday as i am taking advantage of the scorching heat to make sure our clothes dry well .. the weather is so unpredictable nowadays.



Flash news ... i bought an umbrella!!!

Yup, i have my own ... i am one person who does not like to use much more carry an umbrella with me .. but with the everyday trips to school looks like it is inevitable. Got myself a smart looking automatic black foldable ella..ella..hey..hey!

Mary Poppins here i come!

Waiting Time

Now that Vin is starting school i am in school everyday too. I start at 10:00 am and finish up at around 2:00 pm ... it sure is along wait. Vin is doing well in school so i don't have to go in his classroom during his break time because i want him to learn to do things on his own and mingle with his classmates. Even if i don't go inside i still stay in school in case he decides to go to the little boys room or just wants to check on me. In the beginning i used my time checking email from my phone and listening to mp3s stored on my phone since i did not know the others yet, but now it is spent chatting the hours a day with fellow mommies exchanging stories and whathaveyous .. hahaha! We have been thinking that maybe if there was gym or recreation center with ping pong tables or pool near the school we could all go there and play and challenge each other .. lol! The time passes swiftly with the endless stories and breaks at the canteen and before we know it our little kindergartens are all ready to go home and another school day has passed .. tomorrow again.

Serious

I have been convincing my sisters to start a blog eversince i had mine running. I really find it therapeutic and an oppurtunity for me to share our everyday life with others even i the most remote places .. i know in one way or another someone can relate to our activities the way i relate mine to other peoples blogs. I am very serious in maintaining my blog and keepin it interesting and updated at all times. I have been looking and signing up with the best web directory to widen my exposure and invite more visitors from all over the world. I seriously love to blog and my blogs! Happy Blogging!

Ben Fever

My three kids are officially hooked on Ben 10 this time ... how fast their interest shifts ... i can hardly keep up! I am just glad that this is something that the three of them share .. makes my buying toys for them more economical (i wish .. hahaha!) since the three of them likes it.

I wonder what the next fad will occupy the little ones after a month ... lol!

Good News

Yey! My sister just sent me an email letting me know the good news (something nice at last!) she won the David and Goliath Photo Contest! I was there when they took the pictures .. and she really has a lot of Tees from D&G, she is one well deserving winner .. so loyal to D&G. The shirt she is wearing here is actually we bought through their international website and had it shipped to her friend who was coming to the Philippines ... heheheh! I wonder if this picture will appear on her friend's televisions, that would be somehing! She can't wait to announce this winning on facebook and friendster though .. that is a start!

Angel Missing

Farrah Faucet has lost her battle with colon cancer .. she fought it till the end, surrounded by her loved ones by her bedside.

She has been a major part of my play time when i was growing up ... my sister, cousin and i played Charlie's Angels all the time. My sister was Kate Jackson, i was Jacklyn Smith and my cousin was the great Farrah Faucet.

She to my mind now symbolizes the strength of a woman to fight, especially now that there are a lot of diffrent kinds of cancer from ovarian, bone and even mesothelioma which is asbestos exposure.

I really wish we all stay safe and healthy, not only for us but for our loved ones sake.

Legend's Passing

He was an 80's icon that will never be replaced. Michael Jacson was a league on his own ... no one was like him. I always see him on TMZ and was really surprised when i heard his demise. Now there are a lot of angles studied from his prescription druhs he was currently taking to a lot of other things. His family is requestong for another autopsy since foul play has been ruled out .. but there are a lot of unanswered questions regarding his death especially with the people around him during that time.

I am sure a lot lawyers a raring to be on the case and finally pin down the facts and get to the bottom of his death. Michael was truly well loved by all.

I wonder if they will be needing the expertise of Morristown personal injury lawyer in this scenario. I have heard that they are very good and they do get the results done.

RIP Michael Jackson.

Real Boys Wear Pink

When Vin saw his PE uniform .. pink shirt and red jogging pants .. he went balistic .. hahaha!

I explained to him that everyone will wear pink (girl or boy) .. hehehe ... with some resistance he said "Oh, okay Mama ..." hehehehe!

Safe Pets

Have you ever wondered how you want to get your children pets ( a puppy or a kitten) to awaken their nurturing skills and their sense of responsibility and yet keep them safe from ticks and fleas at the same time? Who hasn't right? A friend of mine and i recently discovered Frontline, an effective solution for the pesky problem on out little pets. My kids can enjoy their pets without the fear of getting troubled with the insects ... whats more i learned it's also waterproof, so no need to reapply after every bath .. how convenient and effective! This is one discovery i really like!

Secure Them

Look at my kiddies happy smiles ... i hope they always stay this way ... happy and content.



Being a mom with three kids under my wing it really is important to make sure they have a secured future .. especially now with the many threats of uncertainties .. may it be safety or health wise. It can really be difficult to imagine what can happen if we are not careful ... wish there was a way to shield them from all of it. I was fortunate enough to read about the Blue Advantage and am carefully con sidering it. Who would not want to keep their loved ones secure ... always.

First Timer

Vin had his first taste of school today.

Looking at his wide smiles you would think that his first encounter with school was pleasant right? But, on the contrary he did not even want to go that morning .. the only thing that sort of appeased him is that he would be wearing a nice uniform and use his new Ben 10 school bag.

He was very quiet inside the classroom and was on the verge of tears every time i look at him from across the room. My heart breaks.

He was very well behaved inside the classroom, just looking at me but never stood up from his chair.

I know his second day will be better :)

Under The Weather

The erratic weather has left me with a cold and cough to boot ... i am sick.

I developed a cold yesterday and had been feverish since yesterday. I really feel b ad and hope this blah feeling goes away really soon especially since school is about to start and i really cannot afford to get sick.

I have been drinking my medicines religoiusly and hope all will be better soon. I just do not like this feeling. :(

Looking Good

Since i joined facebook i have connected with my long time classmates when i was in grade school and higg school and i marvel at how most of them looh young and fit. I have had a chance to chat with a few of them and they said they really maintain a healthy lifestyle to attain a good body despite our age. I am nreally raring to go and hit the gym as soon as time and time and schedule permits. maybe now that Vis is starting school i might be able to do just that. There are some friends of mine who said they go on diets and some others take Solo Slim diet pills to keep them looking fit and slim. With our age nowaday we really have to look at what we eat and the kind of lifestyle we live .. we certainly are not growing any younger ... i am nearing my forties! Eeep!

Unconditional

This picture is so endearing, shows that love surpasses reason .. truly it is unconditional. Sigh.

Chubby Cheeks Alert

Was looking at some pictures that i was downloading from my camera when i saw this chipmunk with Vin ... hahaha!

Oh my, i have such chubby cheeks .. eep!

Lately, some people have been commenting that i have gained weight and it does look quite becoming because i am really so thin for my height ... but at the rate i am going and with cheeks like these i might have to grab hold of the best diet pills within arms length just in case. Hehehe!

Better to curb the weight gain to a presentable state before i go overboard ... blame it on cheeseburgers, milkshakes and pizza!

Computer Upgrade Needed

My ever reliable and dependable desktop computer is crying out for a much needed upgrade!

Looking at it i feel it does need an upgrade soon and the first to start is increasing its memory, there are times when my computer will just let out a series of alarming beeps letting me know that my memory (the computer's .. hahaha!) is low. I have been looking at some surplus computer parts mainly because i want to save ... the economic crunch really can spell a difference, so i am not really looking at branded parts but parts that can do the job and cheap! Hahaha!

Will really attend to the needs of my best friend computer ... it is crying for attention. Sob, sniff.

Good Update

My sister, Kathy just called me and said the BP is slowly going down with the onset of increased meds intravenously .... hopefully if remains down we can be transferred to a regular room by tomorrow. My other sister is already occupying the regular room because we are already getting billed for it since we were suppose to have transferred yesterday.

I pray that he gets better and be transferred to a regular room for a change of scenery, the ICU scenario is starting to bug him plus we get to be with him one at a time, though we usually break the rules and be there two to three at a time. Maybe a few minutes of television or a glimpse of daylight or night will do wonders for him.

I know everything will be okay ... just a matter of time.

Options

When we were in the hospital, my aunt went up to me and discussed with me insurance stuff. I hardly know anything about it since Christian's coverage has us protected as well from what i know but she was saying something that if Christian resigns from his job our coverage will might as well be kissed goodbye or if we decide to continue it we might be shortchanged. I will have yet to discuss with Christan the extent of our coverage since my mind is still on fixated on my papa's condition. As soon as the air in my head clears i will definitely take in serious consideration of the available and prevailing insurance rates there is to keep our family protected and secured. I want to study our options and if there is a neeed to get another insurance or not.

Drama in Photos

A very dramatic set of photos from New Moon in Italy movie set ... spoiler? Not!

Rested

I have so many things on my mind lately and getting a good night sleep is quite hard to achieve. My papa had a stroke last Sunday and everything is just topsy turvy in my world. He is still in ICU and was aiming for a trabsfer to a regular room yesterday ... we were actually packed to transfer when his blood pressure went high again. We had to increase the dose of the meds that will bring his BP down and forgo the transfer to a regular room for now.

I get aroung 20 texts all through out the night for bp updates in the hospital from my sister who Loren who is doing the night shifts before i go there in the next day. I had asked Christian to absent from work for a couple of days so i could go to the hospital without the kids, and am glad that he is really supporting me.

My back is hurting from the tossing and turning the whole night while i read and ponder on the texts ... i know he will be better really soon and i know God is in control ... but i really cannot discount that all my nervousness is taking its toll on me.

A good friend of mine suggested that i look into getting a sleep number bed instead of the one we have now so i can somehow feel rested despite the turmoil in my head. I will look into that for sure but i would like to request a small prayer for my papa that he gets better really soon. I will be haeding to the hospital in a bit as soon as i finish some unattended household chores. Ugh!
