Caroleen’s Treasures

It was a long day yesterday. Our cousin and her whole family was here at my sister’s and BIL’s apartment since Saturday to attend the graduation rites of her husband (Manong Nolan) who finished his master’s degree and their daughter (Mgel) in her bachelor’s degree in UIC (University of Immaculate Conception). We are already up at half past 3 in the morning. My sister Crislyn was tagged along as one of the escorts of Manong Nolan and they left the apartment when the dawn was still breaking while Cheche, Donald and I went back to sleep right after they are gone. Just after noon time they were already here and we had lunch together then we all prepared to go to the resort to spent the night. My uncle, Papang Alfred, was there also and we are glad to see him. He’s been very ill with diabetes and other complications. Ella was so happy that she was able to swim again and enjoy the company of relatives. I was feeling so tired so hot since the other day so I joined the kids in the water and at 7pm, we were back in the cottage for dinner. The food is good and we had great time talking. Crislyn and BIL went home while Cheche and us stayed overnight. I had difficulty getting to the bathroom and was having contractions the whole time. Thankfully I finally dozed off after hours of trying to sleep. Read more… »

I did my nails last night and since Ella has been putting me into account each time she sees me painting my nails as to why I am still not wearing the purple nail polish she gave to me on my birthday, I decided it was time to show her that I am true to my words that I really love the darn color she picked. I should have cared less if it was a darker plum but it wasn’t and it looks as though they were candies on my feet. But anyway, I gave it a go and I am loving it now and the most important of all is that Ella was so happy about it. Read more… »
