At last I ended my shift on OHJ at 8am after 12 long hours. I slept until almost 11, just in time Ella and Donald arrived. As usual Ella played until lunch time. Siesta afterwards but I opted to blog hop while they napped.
Tatang came here to ask if Donald will be going with him to the wake of one of the member’s grandmother but we ended up chatting. We are talking about lots here and Tatang was encouraging us to invest on it. I made the “best” pancake for merienda then we (Tatang, Donald, Ella and me) went to their place to get rice (Ella’s subsidy) 
While we were there in the farm, Ella visited Mr. and Mrs. Pig, Mr. Cow, the stubborn chicken and quails and me? I hunted for anything I could plant on my plastic flower pots which I just bought last Saturday. After loading the rice and plants on the motorbike, we went back here and exercised. Yeah, exercised pulling weeds in the yard 
Tatang joined us for dinner and off they went to the wake at 7pm. Ella went with them and was soooo excited about it. She was actually asking to go since the other day when Donald drove the tora-tora. But she fell asleep and wouldn’t wake up when it’s time to leave. So….when she woke up she wailed like cow. We promised she can go with Donald today, so even when it was raining she did go. Donald was saying NO again this time because it was raining….but then again I reminded him that we are teaching the child the true meaning of a promise and keeping your words so Donald brought her along.
She should be given a treat because she cleaned and piled the chairs at church. All those monoblocks chairs!!!! It was all clreared in teh middle of the hall…all chairs were in two piles on the right side of the hall and she even picked all the litters. We didn’t realized she did it until Donald saw how tidy the hall was. I then recalled she was mumbling when she went in to throw a handful of plastic wrappers on the trash can in the kitchen. She was saying, “Ano ba yang mga taong ‘yan…hindi alam saan dapat magtapon ng basura…” (Why are those people don’t know where to throw their garbage.) 
Today is my sister CheChe’s birthday. I wonder how they celebrated today. I hope we can celebrate it again when we got a chance to visit them in the city. Last year, on her debut, we just went to a buffet place with Kuya Ace, my sister Crislyn, her PIL’s (Lolo Tony and Lola Carmen), Cheche and two of her classmates. It was real simple celebration.
See Ella blew the candle with her Tita Cheche! This was taken with my celphone, excuse the blur. They are the best of enemies but could be the best of friends too. When my mother was still living, they would fight over who would embrace Mamang while Mamang lies on the mat watching tv. Then they will have a long debate whose mother was Mamang Eling. Cheche will claim Mamang was her “mother” and insist on Ella that Mamang was not her mother but her “grandmother”. Ella was still 2 then but would not let her Tita Cheche win the debate. While they are arguing, Mamang was smiling and enjoying the attention given to her by the two Tasmanina devls beside her. There was a time when they hate each other and Ella would say, “You don’t have a mother now, I still have mine.” But when I and my sister Crislyn would scold Cheche, Ella comes for her rescue. She would tell us, “Don’t scold her, she is pityfull…look she has no mother at all….” Oh well….I would sometimes laugh in disbelief at how the two of them drove us crazy.
EDITED:
Ella and Donald arrived at half past 10 in the evening. I asked Ella how did the night at the wake went…she said it was just alright. She just ate Milo. Yes she eats Milo like her Daddy…such a sweet tooth. Then she said she hasn’t still forgot to play cards! 
One girl there has a dirty old teddy bear and Ella said we should give her a newer one from her toys. After she got cleaned up and changed into jammies, she remembers her little gift for her Tita Cheche. It was a little Pikachu toy…the yellow cartoon character but this toy was green
