Caroleen’s Treasures

I woke up late again today. I am so lazy to get up so I grabbed the book I started reading yesterday, shifting from side to side trying to find a good position. I had a scoliosis like my sister Crislyn and that made lying on my left so uncomfortable. But they say beautiful ones had this and that makes me stop complaining every time it hurts

It was half past twelve in the afternoon when I decided to start on my 5th assignment. My BIL’s colleague and his family came here to see how my BIL and my sister work as captcha coders. They had a seven-year-old son along and Ella was pleased to see a a kid in the house. He was shy at first but Ella used her super convincing powers and in a short while they are playing with her doll house :-)

When they left, the neighbor’s kids came over and played with Ella’s toys. I didn’t allow them inside since this is not our place and besides there is more room to play outside. While they are playing, Ella came to my side to ask if she can show her dollhouse to the kids. I was thinking since we are moving soon, might as well let them play with it outside. I first asked her why and she said : “Palagi lang kasi sila tanong nang tanong ano itsura ng doll house ko…” (Because they always ask me what my dollhouse looked like) Poor girls, they might not have dollhouse. I looked at Donald and before he said NO, I reminded him of the move. Ella excitedly announced that they can play with it and the other kids really enjoyed.

We got a message this afternoon that the truck will be coming over tomorrow Maybe I got a hint about it since I was hurrying to finish many assignments as I can. Ella had prayed about it every night and she sounded very demanding last night that we should move ASAP. God really listens to little kids prayer I bet, she will complain as soon as we arrive there about missing her tita’s and tito, lola carmen and lolo tony (my sister’s PIL), puto and maya (the dogs) and her new friends here whom she played with everyday but doesn’t know the names. She must have been very thrilled on having them around that she forgets to ask. We will really miss them but we will visit them as often as we can. I am excited and a little bit scared ’cause it might be postponed again. We thought that they are not interested on having us to help in the church work there since we are kept waiting for two months to move. Donald and I are talking this week about him finding a job here in Davao and looking for a little place to rent. I was even thinking where to enroll Ella this June. Glad that they still want us to be there. There is 90% possibility on settling in Agusan and that thrills me so much. I hope, I hope, I really hope the truck will come! I’m crossing my fingers.
