to my sister CRISLYN.
.
They sure had a wonderful date tonight because Cheche is here with us. No demanding chaperon. 
It’s half past 8 in the evening and the rain is pouring which will surely last until past midnight. We are halfway with the laundry when it started to drizzle followed by a heavy downpour yet it didn’t stop us from attending a dinner party at the neighbor’s house. Of course we could have not gone there but we already set our minds on that so instead of preparing dinner, we opted to empty the two remaining laundry baskets. Eman’s basket was first emptied last Friday and Saturday, then Sunday came and Ella’s clothes are washed. Mine and Donald’s are the last to get cleaned and I feel so good that we finally did it.
Since we have a sleeping little man in the hammock, I sent Ella and Donald first there. I am still full so I stayed with Eman and asked Donald to buy me food before they come home in case I decide that I won’t be coming over. So there goes Ella with her gift and after just a few moments, Donald came knocking and told me that the host wanted me to come over and so I did. I just had little rice and “lechon” (roasted pig) but I pigged out on biko (glutinous rice cake), chocolate cake, banana and two slices of watermelon.

Happy birthday to our dearest Princess! Daddy,Mommy and ading Eman loves you so much!
Eman turned 2 months today. Where did the time go? It’s like yesterday when I was on the delivery room holding him for the first time.
Our day went well inspite of us being sick. I still finished the assignment that was given to me while Eman was not sa fussy as yesterday. He still has the allergies but it’s so cute how he smiles and giggles each time I aim the camera at him. He knew what the black thing was and he smiles instantly even when I have not yet cooed him.

I don’t think I can make a decent post tonight. I feel nauseated and I just want to sleep early but I found myself too engrossed in searching high and low for steamed cake recipes and other goodies. We do not have oven but we do have steamer and I am glad I found some recipes that I wanted to make for Ella’s birthday. I hope I can find all the ingredients here in our little town that I doubt if I could.
Been very early on the computer today. After I gave Eman a bath at 6:30am, I started the computer and found an email from my Spanish boss asking for the output of an assignment that I have not yet done because I could not understand her Spanish assistant. I sent him an email that I will be submitting it before noontime and that made me feel sick. I only have some breaks each time Eman needs to be fed and held. After working, I wanted to nap but Eman was awake and was whiny because his allergic rhinitis is acting up again (dunno what caused it this time…maybe the weather) so I carried him outside in Ella’s hammock. We spent half an hour swinging and I threw up! 
Not right in there with Eman on my arms but on the sink. I was just too fast to ask Donald to take Eman from me because I feel I am going to drop him on the floor. I hope I will feel better tomorrow. Have to go!
Yes she made it in the SPED class and we are so thankful and proud. Congratulations to Ella for passing the test! Read more… »
Our princess is really excited about her birthday. She insists that she will be Princess Jasmine.
Gee, I thought we will spend the rest of the night in darkness. Glad the power was back at 10:30pm after an hour interruption. I am working on the two other rooms in the house for several days now. They needed some organizing. Started both at the same time and I am hopping from one to another and until now neither of it was finished. I had no idea how come it always needs some work when no one uses them. Some of our stuffs are in the middle room and Ella’s toys are in the third room and it seems I am cleaning and organizing it every other month! We even never allowed Ella to go in there to play these past months to avoid a big mess but even so it still looks like it was ran over by a tornado. I can’t work straight because I am breastfeeding Eman from time to time but I am trying to get this done before Ella’s birthday.
Last Saturday, a relative of the church members died of old age so we went to their place this afternoon. There weren’t much people there and the church where the old woman was attending isn’t doing a service. I do not know why. Since the funeral will be tomorrow, Donald arranged a schedule of service with the family and he came back there tonight with other members of the church while Ella, Eman and I stayed at home. I am not going there at night time because it is very far from here and there was no other ride than a motorbike.

Today is my bestfriend’s 28th birthday. A woman of great courage and patience. That is Steph. I sent her a birthday greetings early this morning. We don’t do gift giving as much as other friends do because of lack of budget. hahahaha! Of course we do have priorities now as mommies so we just see to it to have a bubbly chat each time we see each other.
Priceless smiles with his grandkids.
