Caroleen’s Treasures

Eman and I had a short play after the worship service, the come-catch-my-nose that we loved to play with Ella when she was still a baby.

We were so strangely early to be ready for the Sunday worship. Eman, my alarm clock, woke me up at the same time that he does each day. I already prepared my lesson for the kids, made their snacks and ironed our Sunday dresses last night so we are pretty much left without nothing to do than to take a bath. Ella wouldn’t want to wear the dress I picked but I insisted because she will outgrow it tomorrow. hahahahaha! Not really that soon but you know how kids grow so quick like weeds. Read more… »

Last night I said I am not going home yet, that I am not dragging my feet back home and that I really mean it. Forget it. After debating with myself, I gave in and packed our stuffs. Although I really wanted to stay for the weekend, I decided it is best to go home since I am not in the mood to commute. We were ready at 4am, waiting for a text message from Ate Gina. Donald changed Ella’s clothes while she’s sleeping while I do the final packing of stuffs. I already put everything in one corner and waited. After a few moments, Donald went to get a taxi and Cheche (still half-awake) ushered us out of the gate. We didn’t bother waking my sister Crislyn and BIL because like us, they were still up until past midnight because the neighbors at the side are so loud. They were drinking and talking about nonsense stuffs loudly that I wanted to throw a stone over their roof. After their “noise barrage” and before we could finally go to sleep, a neighbor at the back thought that the best time to chop woods is at 2am and so that is what he did. Such crazy neighbors!

Hello! I am blogging from Davao and I am working on my own computer. Yey! I have succesfully sweet talked Donald to bring it here at my BIL’s place for our long vacation so I could still blog. Good that he willingly packed the cpu, monitor (good thing that mine is lcd), keyboard and everything else except the scanner/printer.

It’s still dark when I get out of bed this morning and started the computer in hopes that I could grab some opps. I think my screen froze because it’s been the same opps count since last night. I was planning to leave before 8am but Donald and Ella were still asleep until almost 7am. Since it’s drizzling, I let them snuggle in bed longer while I read and replied to some emails.

I am trying to find some waste canvass that I can use to sew cross stitch pattern on baby clothes but I know for sure I can’t find it here around town. I visit the craft store at the mall when we go to Davao where I have seen waste canvass three years ago. I am crossing my fingers I can get it there because I really wanted to make the baby HIS own set of personalized baby clothes like I did for Ella. ( I told you we wanted a boy) Read more… »

Whenever Ella sees a baby, she will be very excited and would run towards it, hold it and would turn to me and say, “Mommy, why can’t we have a baby yet? See they have one!” As usual, my reply would be, “Our baby is still in heaven playing with Mamang Eling and soon God will bring it down here.” Although we do not have a baby yet, I am collecting baby clothes and I even have a baby bedding ready. But Ella found the bag of it and dresses her doll and teddy bear with those baby clothes.
