Caroleen’s Treasures

I was still enjoying my internet up to this moment! No more long walks to the market to check mails on the internet cafe. It was just a relief from the stiff neck and the foul smell of the cafe. Some ar smoking inside and the others are just so selfish turning high the volume while they play….I suppose it should be airconditioned and that each has to have a headset. My neck hurts too. On the first cafe I went I was looking up for the monitor while the other cafe, I was stooping down. Then there’s this keypad that is soooo hard to press…as if it wasn’t been used for decades. The worst thing is it has no letter F! But anyway, I am still grateful that there’s internet cafe here in town.

Today, we woke up early. I checked mails first then went around the little rooms to organize stuffs while Donald went outside uprooting weeds again and Ella played with her new friends. I don’t know why I only accomplished to sort two crates of odd toys of Ella. These were from our old little house so she’s very much happy to see those again after two months of staying with my sister Crislyn’s parents-in-law. I put the toys that cold be played with other kids while the toys which were given to Ella as a gift or that of value has to be saved. So I let the kids play with the other toys. I am not being selfish, but last Saturday Ella cried because her bike’s seat was broken. The boy much taller and bigger than her kept on riding it, the next thing I heard was it broke. So I was just being careful of Ella’s toys since we can’t afford to buy for now.

So the kids went playing on the shed beside the house where we gather on Sunday School. Donald was on the side near them while I was in the front yard planting ornamental plants we have brought from Davao. As expected, a little boy broke a toy and Ella was just calmly saying to Donald that her toy was broken. When I went near to see if I can do something about it, she ran to the house crying. She was saying “My toy is dead! My toy is dead!!!” Instead of symphatizing with her, I broke into laughter. Her toy was really dead….Poor girl. I told her that it was just a toy and that’s why Mommy kept her special toys inside the house.

Oh by the way, the best thing living in the province is your neighbor knocks at your door with a bowl of “binignit” (it’s like a porridge with sticky rice, banana, sweet potatoes, sago – looks like tapioca, coconut milk and sugar). This is the place I like!

Today’s Donald’s birthday and I am sooo happy ’cause we have the same age now! LOL I am 4 months older ya know. Somebody sent a few $$ for a dinner date but it takes a few days to clear so what we had is a small cake! We’ll postpone the dinner date until we got the money

Ella played until midnight. She had Carrot dressed in baby clothes that I have saved for her sister (if God will bless us with another bouncing baby girl) That’s what Ella wanted, a baby girl. I asked her what if it was a boy, she answered “Eh di palitan natin…” ( Let us exchange it) What?!! Was it a dress that you can exchange if it doesn’t fit? LOL My sister was teasing her that we will wait for the mall’s midnight sale so we can buy her a baby sister for a 50% OFF and she pouts saying she don’t want one that is bought. She wants one that is made. Read more… »

I was almost done with the book I am reading. We had a power black out at 3 in the afternoon. Good thing about it was I had waxed the floor, arranged the boxes and crates that we are going to bring when the truck comes. My sister Crislyn finally had time to shape up their room too.

To those who wished that the truck will come today, please wish some more. I have not expected much about it coming over today but I have crossed my fingers. Might as well cross my toes too I don’t care when as long as it will not be late for Ella to get enrolled in kiddie II.

I woke up late again today. I am so lazy to get up so I grabbed the book I started reading yesterday, shifting from side to side trying to find a good position. I had a scoliosis like my sister Crislyn and that made lying on my left so uncomfortable. But they say beautiful ones had this and that makes me stop complaining every time it hurts

Yesterday, Ella played with two boys (I guess they are around eight or nine). When I woke up this morning, they are already on the adjacent lot waiting for Ella. I went outside to bring out the laundry that hasn’t dried and saw the two boys and two girls! So now it was multiplied and it scared me.  I am afraid there will be 8 kids tomorrow. I told her this is not our house and she shouldn’t call the kids over to play. But Ella didn’t call them, they just appeared from nowhere. Maybe from the house at the back. The girls were also the same age as the boys I guess. What else could you expect for a girl who hasn’t played with REAL kids? Read more… »

I was complaining about the hot weather yesterday (and my title of that post: Summer heat is on!!!) that it didn’t give me any right to fuss about the weather today God must have heard my grumbling yesterday and he sent Mr. Sun somewhere to hide so I could concentrate on my task. We had rain showers almost the whole afternoon and goes on until tonight. I was trying to finish my task but dysmenorrhea disturbs me same as the internet connection that is too slow which I suspect due to the rain shower. So…..this means it will be best to suffer summer heat than having a slow connection

Wondering what happened to the truck that we are waiting forever? Still it didn’t appear. *sighs* Although I am a really anxious on moving to Agusan, good that it didn’t appear A.G.A.I.N. as I was stuck on my new found online job. Read more… »
