For more than a week now we have plenty of rain around here and since it would be sunny after the rain or the other way around, people are getting sick. Poor Teddy Bear, he has come down with flu and Ella won’t bring her to the doctor….she said to the other bear (Teddy’s brother), “Alagaan natin siya. Huwag na tayong pumunta sa doctor kasi sayang lang ang pera. Pagpahingahin na lang natin siya dito sa bahay….” (Let’s take care of him. We won’t be going to the doctor because we will just be wasting our money. We will just let him rest here at home.) 
I do not know where does she got that idea of wasting money when going to the doctor because I can’t remember that we have said that to her. Maybe too much watching tv? But I can’t say she has poor mothering ability by that statement because you could laugh at how she takes care of Teddy. She wraps him with blankets at night and she puts on bonnet, sweater and pyjamas so he won’t get cold. 
How I wish Teddy will get well soon because I am hearing her drama for days now. Our drama queen has her script written somewhere in her brain. Read more… »
Today is Saturday and as I have already said, I like this day more than any day of the week because it is “market day”. Since we skipped going to the market last week, we planned in going there today to buy fruits and vegetables that I really need.
Yesterday, I was checking my eon account if the $35 I transferred from my paypal account has already been sent but until this morning I still haven’t received it. I was puzzled how come it took so long for the money trasnfer when it usually takes 3 days for the whole process? So I checked my paypal and I was surprised that the $35 is still there waving at me. What a bummer! Read more… »
Have you experienced dowloading a file and after waiting for more than an hour and it is 94% downloaded, your pc automatically restarted? That happened to me today, but I took it just fine. I was really wanting to do some digiscrapbooking when I started this blog. After seeing some blogs with lay outs, I was really really wanting to try it. But of course I could not afford to spend $$ on kits so I went searching for freebies on the internet. After I found the kit I wanted, I started downloading it and patiently waited. I was too unlucky that my pc did not cooperated. If only he knew that it will be only minutes then I am done. Anyway, I got over with it quickly, after all I was not that sure if I can do lay outing while I am on my first trimester. Read more… »
Saturday again! We are surprised by an unexpected guest early in the morning when we are still in bed. He was here to see his niece who is a member of the church but was ashamed to attend the service here. So he and Tatang arranged to visit the niece and the family today. I quickly prepared breakfast and when it was already 8:30am and no shadow of Tatang has appreared, Donald decided to bring the guest to Tatang’s place in case he forgot about their appointment. When Donald came home, we all went to the market.
Speaking of ukay-ukay…I found a maternity capri jeans! And while I am busy picking vegetables, Donald dissapeared and he came back with a Nike baseball cap. I could not ruin his excitement for finding a very nice cap. Ella has 5 peso coin in her little purse and she bought a rice cake out of it. Donald and she are equally happy about what they got.
We ended up carrying a bag full of vegetables, fish and some meat. I doubled the meat and vegetables for our meal fellowship tomorrow. Early morning, at 8am, we lost power. No power means no water too for us who uses electric water pump. So I have to send Ella and Tadiday over the well to take a bath. Tadiday has filled the three basins before the electricity went out. Glad that I believed what the neighbor has told me yesterday. We usually have a whole day power interruption during Sundays and not Saturdays, but I said to myself I wouldn’t be hurt if I believe. So the water on the basin has helped me clean and wash the fish, meat and vegetables.
In the afternoon, we took a nap. It was not yet long when the members came to clean the church yard. We have assignments what area to clean and they decided to come even it is not yet their schedule. Me, Donald and Tadiday also cleaned the area where we would plant our seeds. I hope we could start the garden Monday. The rain has hindered us to go to Tatang’s place to get some bamboos. Hope it won’t rain next week.
I think Ella could be the fastest runner here in town. Donald borrowed Tatang’s motorbike to get a big pan that I need tomorrow to cook big batch of dishes. Ella wanted to ride with her Daddy but Donald said NO. When Donald started the motorbike, Ella ran as fast as the bike and even ran ahead of the bike. Donald stepped on the brakes and she got her way. Donald knows he should have not let Ella get her way but as he sees it, Ella could get an accident if he won’t stop and he knows Ella won’t stop running either. I think they had a nice and long lecture about obiedience after that.
I will be off for a while to check on portable oxygen concentrator and be back to blog hop. See yah!
