Booked Saturdays

Just got a school memo today that said that all Saturdays of this month and December will be spent in school for practice for the kids school play. They have to be in school by 8:00 am till 12 noon ... so long ... hahaha!

Looks like i won't be singing my usual "TGIF" tune since there is still Saturday to think about.

By the way, Sunday comes after Saturday ... and i am going to watch New Moon on Sunday ... Yey! Come on Saturday come on now! Hahaha!

Renewals

The year is almost over ... just one more month.

Time really is fast ... makes me realize that i have to spend it happily, no room to be sad and disatisfied with anything .. life is good.

Since the year is about to end i am now faced with renewals and evaluating activities of our school tuition fees, life insurance policies, car registrations, health care dues and so many things that we all need to settle before the year ends. I still remember vividly this scenario with all the paperwork this brings last year .. then here it is again ... haunting me to finish it on time. I still have taxes to fix as well ... looks like i have my job cut out for me till the end of the year. Lol!

No More Sweets

I noticed Vin always trying to clear his throat several times during the day .. it was kind of odd. I asked him why he was doing it and he said because he could not breathe well. Yesterday i brought him to the doctor to have him checked. His doctor checked his ear .. clear. His lungs ... clear and not hard of breathing. They asked him to open his mouth and they saw his tonsils a little red ... which she said could be the onset of tonsilitis .. though not yet. She also found some lymph nodes on Vin's neck which also showed that his body was fighting off an infection. She was surprised to learn that Vin did not have any fever which normally happens.

She started Vin with antibiotics to combat the infection, it will last for seven days. On the fourth day we are scheduled to go and see her again so she can check on Vin if there is progress with the medicine she prescribed. She also presecribed Vin some nutritional supplements aside from the separate vitamin C he is taking daily.

She also asked Vin to stay clear of sweets and cold juices for now. I let her tell VBin herself so Vin would really be involved in the treatment. I am happy that we were able to see her before he gets the full blown tonsilitis ... never really bad to be safe than sorry.

It has only been day 2 of the antibiotic so i still hear Vin clear his throat from time to time.

Skin Regimen

I have always been concious with the state of my skin .. sadly i broke out heavily when i was in College and some of the marks are still visible up to now. I have been eperiementing on different brands of moisturizers, wrinkle cream, scar whitener and now have bought myself a skin toner. I really want to bring back the suppleness of my skin especially that some fine lines are making it's appearance .. hahaha!

I started a new regimen the last week and i am still looking if there are good results ... hopefullly in a month i would know if i should stick to it or find another set. Keeping my fingers crossed.

New Moon

Just a few more winks ... New Moon here i come!

We will be watching this Sunday with my sisters and nieces ... yipee!

We had our tickets reserved months ago .. and finally the wait is almost over!

Team Edward!

I have been watching my bluray of Twilight over and over to really get me into the story sequence so when i watch New Moon it will have a smooth flow for me .. hahaha!

I can't wait ... but i have waited long enough really ... come on let it be Sunday soon!

Will post my favorable (hahahha!) review very soon!

Winner

Congratulations to my papa, Jose Mari Avellana for bagging the award for Best Stage Director in the 22nd Aliw Awards! Yey! So proud of him .. as always!

He really knows his craft by heart having spent his childhood years on the theater with his equally famous parent .. it really runs in the family ... i wonder why it has not been on my blood ... i have always been shy .. hahahaha!

I am really blessed to have such a talented family .. am so proud of all of them, especially my papa.

I am busy looking at the sites where some people have posted pictures from the awards night and i will surely grab some of them (but of course will say where i got them .. hahaha!) and post them here. I also am looking at Myrtle beach golf webiste to check out their amenities to help plan out a golf reunion tournament early next year for my high school batchmates. I just love the internet .. everything is really at your fingertips .. another winner for me!

Pacman Wins

I love Manny Pacquiao! Hahahah!

This is actually the first time i watched an entire boxing match ... plus the first time i watched Manny Pacquiao fught ... so many firsts for me yesterday.

I enjoyed the matches!

I enjoyed the unlimited breakfast and lunch buffet too!

Till the next fight!

Christmas Hunt

It's coming!

Yup, it's lurking in the corner ... Christmas is soon here!

I am starting to panic because i have yet to find gifts for my kids. I would bring them to toy stores, hobby stores and book stores taking in any hint i can get as to what they like as presents. Bea is growing up so fast and she is not into toys so much, i have yet to find unique gifts for her that she will really like having. Sam on the other hand is more into dolls so a nice looking Bratz doll would be great. Vin is still into cars so it is not a clincher.

I really love Christmas and seeing the smiles of the little ones when they open their gifts that i really put so much thoughts on.

The search officially begins.

The Ultimate Fight

This is the image that caught my attention in my email's inbox! I have always surprised Christian with tickets to watch Pacquiao fight evey chance i get ... i usually buy the ticket and slip it in his wallet and he really appreciates the treat. But after seeing this picture i decided to surprise him by coming with him!

Called the restaurant, picked the table and seat numbers and paid for it .. and again slipped it in his wallet ... and boy was he surprised to see TWO tickets! I am someone who is not really into boxing (wrestling, basketball, tennis ... etc .. hahaha) matches and watching it with him is something he knows i am doing it for him.

He was so happy and was looking forward to our "date" that he did not mind me scouring the net that night for Outer Banks vacation homes that i promised my sister i will help her with. So there i was burning the midnight oil searching and at the same time doing some research fo Sam's project. Time management at it's finest!

We Love Wii

Need i say more? Hehehe!

Brownout

Santi left us powerless for an entire day!

We woke in the middle of the night when the power went off ... took turns fanning the three kids to ward the would be attack of the mosquitos. Luckily they were not bitten by any and they did not feel hot because of the cool air and my constant fanning. Here i was hoping that the current would come as soon as daylight comes ... but no. It was gone the whole morning and by mid afternoon we decided to go the the nearby mall to keep us occupied. We were able to check our emails in an internet cafe in the mall to keep me abreast on the status of the storm since we had no television and radio at home because of the power interruption.

I also browsed and window shopped for things i would like in my wish list ... heheheh. I only like a few things (ha-ha!)like a good Canon digital camera, a small handycam that recordes straight to dvd, netbooks, and a new desktopcomputer that can withstand all my files ... simple list right? Hahaha!

One can wish.
