I am not in the best mood to blog tonight but I think I have no good reason why so now I will bore you again with today’s activities here in the jungle province. We woke up 9am today 
and this may be the cause why I feel very tired. Actually I was already awake at 8am but since Donald and Ella were still sleeping (they stayed up watching TV until 1am last night), I went back to sleep. Read more… »

Our day went pretty good today inspite of the bad weather. The first thing I did was cut flowers to put in the vase for today’s worship service. I planted cosmos in the frontyard two months ago. I was hoping to grow several rows of it that would be a great sight when I look outside the window and take photos that would be wonderful for future use for memes but they all grew taller than me! That’s not what I was looking for. It’s mother plant was just perfect, its height was at the level of my shoulders only and I could get photos of its flowers without any hassles. Read more… »
It’s Saturday once again and where else could we be found but in the market. We live lightyears away from malls and though it is kinda boring out here, I like here more because we can save a lot of money from unnecessary purchases and spendings. In the morning, I went to the market while Donald and Ella are still in bed in hopes that I could find maternity tops in the ukay-ukay. Read more… »
ACTUALLY is one of the words that amuse me lately. Ella was doing good in learning to speak English and three nights ago, when I was telling her to come up in bed she made me and Donald burst in laughter. “ACTUALLY, ‘di pa ako inaantok.” (Actually, I am not sleepy yet.) And she pronounced the word pretty well. I asked her where on earth did she get that word and she answered, “Galing kay Rabbit.” (It’s from Rabbit.) Yeah, Rabbit. The keritz lover in Winnie the Pooh movies. She’s really learning.

To all the music music lovers out there, I have a great news for you! There is a solution for your problems with the bunch of old vinyl collections you have.
I am running out of time here….I am just glad I am able to make this post before it ends. Fabulous Yen is celebrating her 3rd year in blogging and to show some love and gratitude, she is having this contest together with some awesome sponsors. I once won in her contest, this time I hope I’d be picked as a winner again because they say pregnant women are lucky.

I do not know why I feel I wanted to clean the whole house. It was like I am going somewhere for a vacation and I do not want to see any clutter when I return. When we did the laundry yesterday, I feel the same way too. I wanted to empty the laundry basket and have fresh and clean clothes to bring on our trip. Although I know that we aren’t making the trip to my hometown anymore, I still feel we are going somewhere.
I have been making some cleaning-up project since Monday. I already washed the windows, dusted shelves and tables, waxed the floor, rearranged the bedroom, totally cleaned and sorted out the stuffs on Ella’s desk and the laundry just dried up. But there’s more to do around this small house. Read more… »
Our day went pretty well except for a little stress in my part as a stage mother. Tomorrow and Friday will be Ella’s final examinations for the first semester and I am quite horrified what mark she would have in her report card at the end of this semester. I have given to Donald the duty of reviewing her on her lessons since I got a very short patience and as a choleric person, I want her to get right away what we are studying about. But I promise to myself I work on this one; I am trying to level myself with my 5-year-old. I called her after I made the reviewers and we studied peacefully but as minutes passed by, I began to feel I need to turn this over to Donald. Read more… »
This will be one of the earliest post I will be writing in my entire blogging career life. I am having some wild thoughts about a new plan that I hope will bring us good life. I was thinking about enrolling in a baking and cake decorating course. When you ask me why, I simply do not know. 
Oh but I begin thinking about that when I come to realize how I get frustrated when the cake I ordered for Ella’s birthdays did not turn out the way I wanted. I remember when she turned 2, she celebrated her birthday with relatives on my mother side at Waterworld Resort in Davao. Several days before the small party, I went to order a cake for her bringing with me a drawing of a cake design/layout that I wanted. When I went to pick up the cake, it was not the way I wanted. Before going to the resort, I put additional flowers, balloons and put Pooh and friends figurine which I have bought weeks before. I just knew that I needed to have those and I am glad I did buy those. Read more… »
I feel like I was about to loose patience with my neighbor. Like yesterday, he decided that it was time to do his sawing and sandering during nap time. If his machines doesn’t make irritating noise, I wouldn’t mind at all but this is too much! Grrrrrr!!!! Good that I exhausted myself before lunch by rearranging the beds in our bedroom and moving the two plastic dressers out in the living room. But I was too dumb to change beddings before I decided to do the make over.
Ella was like, “Kararating ko lang nga galing school, nagkalat ka na naman My.” (I just came from school and here you are making a mess My.) Our little grandmother of the house was constantly reminding me of not carrying heavy stuff because it was bad for pregnant. When she saw me moving the single pull out bed, she said “Mommy, wag kang magbuhat ng mabigat.” (Mommy do not carry heavy stuff.) Isn’t she sweet? I said it was fine because it was not that heavy. When Donald saw me, he left what he was doing in the kitchen and helped me move the heavier stuffs. While doing little carrying I felt pain in my tummy. I cupped it and I felt it was hard. Maybe the baby was not pleased with what I did. 
In time when everthing was done, I laid in bed with an aching back and tummy. Read more… »
