Teddy is a boy but Ella said he won’t mind wearing girl’s clothes at all.

While we are having lunch, Tatang and Inang came by bringing rice and rambutan. They joined us for lunch and have a long chat with them about my good neighbors. The supposed to be sheeps turned goats. After they left, we went to Ate Lourdes’ house. She is the wife of the Church’s Treasure and is very nice. We’ve been bonding lately going to other member’s place to eat rambutan and marang. We spent a couple of hours chatting at their dining table. I could not cut the conversation and say goodbye so I asked Donald if he can go buy vegetables, meat and fish in the market while I and Ella stayed there. The market is just one block away from Ate Lourdes’ house so Donald has no problem with that. When he came back, we finally adjourned our meeting chatting and off we went to the grocery store. We just bought the important stuff and things we are running out of or totally ran out since our earnings hasn’t sent yet to our account.

Another week has gone by and tomorrow will be worship day again. After our lesson tomorrow, I will let the kids watch a movie again. I am planning to let them watch Veggie Tales’ story about Jonah so they won’t be running around in the worship hall. But I am having problems with the clothes lately. When we last went to Davao I have not bought maternity clothes except for a pair of maternity jeans because I am not showing yet then and because there are other things that are more important. We have not bought anything for the baby yet. Although it is too early yet for these stuff but baby stuff, like baby bedding are very expensive. But after just three weeks, I looked ridiculous with everything I wear. Glad I have still some tops that won’t make me look like someone from outer space. Wish I have bought tops to go with my jeans when we go out and dress to wear to church. I never expected I’d look pregnant at four months because with Ella, I began showing up when I was 6 months pregnant which at that time I looked like 3 months pregnant. I was so jealous with the pregnant women having big bellies because they really looked pregnant while I looked silly wearing pillow cases maternity dress. I am thankful that this time my belly is bigger than the first because I could get special care when riding public vehicles earlier during pregnancy I am excited to wear pillow cases maternity clothes again.

Ella was calling me from the outside when they arrived from school. She emerged inside the room showing me her new  school ID card. I have been waiting for it since she said a photographer took their photos. I was waiting for it because Ella said she did not smile while her photo was taken. I asked why she did not smile, she said the Teacher did not asked them to smile Oh well….at least when I saw her ID it doesn’t look bad as I expected. She still looked cute in her uniform and head band and Donald said he looked at her classmates ID and they ALL did not smile. Last year it was different because I was there when they all lined up. I combed her hair and coaxed her to smile and she did flashed her sweetest smile then. With her photo now, she looked as though she was wondering why do rainbows just show up after the rain.

This was her school ID last year, and below was her new ID. 

Notice the difference but anyway I am pleased that she was thankful she did her assignment last night because Teacher Jane let others without assignments stand up for I don’t know how long. Now she is so scared not to do her assignments and I think we need not remind her now.

Last night we watched the Pinoy Dream Academy Grand Dream Night and Ella was as disappointed as I and Donald. Her bet (as well as ours) was Bugoy, the canteen janitor from Bicol, Camarines Sur. He sings very well for me and he does projects and registers well in camera. Ella says “I like Bugoy because he has ENERGY.” But our bet placed second and she was mumbling under her breath how sad she is.

As I was writing this, I was asked to log in in OHJ and I worked until I completed my 4 hours. It actually exceeded 10 minutes because our Shift Leader had power interruption at their place so we have to wait for another leader to take his place.

Had a nice dinner, Ella’s favorite fried fish. Surprisingly my daughter loves fish more than meat. Still I have this urge to throw up every after meal but I hold down the food as long as I can which makes me more sick. I think I have to make pancakes a little later. I am craving for it and I can’t sleep without it…but I have to make sure I can have a ‘whole’ pancake first before my two, rivals Ella and Donald.
