Caroleen’s Treasures

I think I am the laziest blogger on the face of the planet but then I am finding some reasons which are valid of course to justify my laziness. I am trying to figure out if I am just overwhelmed with too many stuffs that needs to get done and add to top it all, Eman’s health issues.Yesterday was a Sunday and we all went downtown to attend the service at Uyanguren. But hey, there’s more that you didn’t know! Last Sunday we went back to Trento and packed our stuffs. I did most of the packing since wives cannot rely on the husbands to do it. Yes they can be asked to help and they can do it thrice our speed BUT I would like to spare myself from pulling my hair while unpacking here in our rented place. I am not very OC but I want it organized so it will not be difficult for me. I don’t want to be digging the frying pan in the bag of laundry so I decided I will do it alone. Donald was the one in charge in finding a truck, bathing Eman, buying meals and making the bed so it is just fair. The neighbors are kind enough to help out too.

Ella was not very sad the day we moved mainly because her bestfriend Charlie and his parents went with us here in Davao. The truck we hired was of the neighbor. The couple asked them to accompany them here in the city so the truck was packed with stuffs and people. We left Trento at 2am that day. Donald and I didn’t slept since it was 10pm when they were done arranging our things in the truck and it was midnight when the last neighbor left. We left bags after bags of clothes, the crazy wall fan, beds, toys and other stuffs to the neighbors. Remember the crazy neighbors that I blogged about before? They are the ones who helped me with all the packing and of course they got most of the stuffs. Ella and Eman did slept for a couple of hours.

So here we are now living in the city. Got to update this blog more often because I don’t want to loose my PR and ops. Also, please check this post sometime later. I will be editing this to insert some happenings that I have not written now since I am in a hurry to meet the deadline and to do the first batch of laundry. See yah!

  Thinking about moving makes me dizzy even when we do it every year and even when we have what we needed. The fridge, washer, TV and stove has still the original boxes so it would save us a lot from spending for boxes and saves the appliances from scratch while moving.  W e already have huge boxes and sack bags for the other stuffs and we could also get those garbage bags to put the blankets, pillows, mattresses and everything else that needs shield from rain. It is really hard to find a closed moving vehicle here. We usually hire those open trucks which is such a risk from soaking all your stuffs when weather is not good.

I was looking forward for today to be such a busy day for me. I already sorted all the baby clothes and stuffs that needs to be washed and folded to be ready in case the baby will decide for an early appearance. I wasn’t expecting nor hoping for a premature delivery, but I just want to be ready. Like my sister and BIL who are moving this weekend, Donald and I are also playing some wild idea on moving back to my hometown when Ella’s classes ends. That will be this March and we are crossing our fingers that we can make it as early as possible before I gave birth which will be on the 1st week of April.  That’s just a plan, not yet final and so we are not disclosing this to Tatang and Inang or any other members of the church yet.

I had slight migraine last night, not too bad. Then today, I feel burning sensation in my back….I had 2 servings of spaghetti last night and another two today and I want some more but migraine scares me so much!

My two sisters went to Bankerohan to buy vegetables, it’s a lot cheaper there. It’s the place where you can find cheapest commodities straight from the farmers. Ella went with them excitedly. When they passed by a bookstore, she almost scream and told my sister Crislyn that she’d buy something.

I can’t wait any much longer for us to move. Hope there will be good news tomorrow. We are waiting for three weeks now. Everything has been packed and I am starting to get annoyed. Yesterday I had slept 8 in the morning and Ella woke me up at 8 in the evening. So last night, I tried all my might to sleep early and I did at 2 a.m. But guess what? My body refuses to cooperate when I tried dragging myself infront of the pc. I still have to do the laundry and am crossing my fingers that I can get myself on it tomorrow. We had tinolang manok for dinner and I tried to eat more than I can manage. I wanted to gain weight so badly.
