Caroleen’s Treasures

Thanks to my sister Crislyn for tagging me.

8 Things I am looking forward to:

1. Ella’s debut
2. The day when Eman could sit on his own (but I dread the day when he learns to walk!)
3. My first pay from my new online job.
4. The balikbayan boxes from Mama Ingrid. I loved digging in those big boxes. It thrills me so much.
5. The first day of classes. Can’t wait to see Ella with her classmates.
6. Reunion with the Sellers family.
7. New year’s day when we could go back to my hometown to see my relatives and have never ending “tsibugan at kantahan” (eating and singing).
8. The day when we can have our own house.

8 Things I did yesterday:

1. Went to Ella’s school to meet her teacher.
2. Checked on the seamstress who will be sewing her uniform.
3. Traveled to Tagum City.
4. Bought school supplies and some stuffs we need for Ella’s party.
5. Finished my Greenwhich spaghetti (which is very unusual of me since I don’t like it that much).
6. Reposted Mama Ingrid’s ads on craiglist.
7. Talked to my boss about my problem understanding my coworker, Cecilia.
8. Did some online tasks before going to bed. Read more… »

She and her cousin hasn’t exchanged kicks and pinches and it was such a miracle. I now see her as a doll or an angel, not a Baby Taz. Read more… »
