A Little Update

It has been ten days since my father passed away and I still couldn’t take a grasp that he’s finally gone… And that what’s only left is his memory. I find comfort in doing flashbacks of happy memories of him with us during my childhood years.

Those good old days that we used to share when life is less complicated for us his children. Loving memory that is!

The realization that someone so dear to you is no longer physically around is quite hard to bear. I can only find comfort in knowing that he is now at peace with our creator.

Moving on, though I still feel quite low with the overwhelming things going around me, added the terrible hot weather, yes, I just really have to put that! :D… Still struggling to find ways on how to cope up, work wise and finance wise! Kids enrollment is just around the corner, not to mention both of my kids’ birthday this summer. So I am really crossing my fingers that work gigs will pick up this time around!

Hello April!

One week late greetings I know! 😉 If there’s one thing that sums up on how did my first week of April went…HOT! Literally and figuratively. I just can’t really stand the terrible weather. Whew!

Last Friday, April 5 was the hottest recorded so far at 35.4 degrees Celsius! That was also the day I had to do an out of the office errand :(. You see, I need to go to our accountant’s office to submit some documents and I had to ride public transport (LRT and Jeepney). So imagine how exhausting it is to commute. If there’s one thing I hate about my job, that’s is  going out to travel especially during the afternoon’s (peak of the terrible heat of the sun that is!)

On the brighter side, I felt I lost weight with all the perspiration and exhaustion brought about by the hot weather. Haha!

***On family updates, Nicco had his entrance examination for grade one last April 3.According to Ian, It lasted for two hours. Yes, two hours!!! I remember I only took a one hour examination for  college entrance exam. LOL! The little boy said, he was able to answer all the questions. We’ll get the results on Monday.

Gabby, on the other hand is getting impatient as she waits for her Polymer Clay. Yep, she’s been into this art clay craft and  watching YouTube videos on How to create your own charm using polymer clay is her favorite online activity! The thing is, I ordered a starter kit and a gloss for her in a FB online store that she saw. I paid and deposited the money first thing in the morning last Thursday hoping to receive it anytime the next day. The seller said that she’ll inform me once the shipping is done. But I haven’t heard of her until this time :(  the little girl is kinda upset now.

April is the birthday month of DD, she’ll be turning nine years old on the twenty seventh! While the little boy will be seven by next month! So I am really hoping and praying for a fund so we can treat them something special on their birthdays!

That’s it for now, were off to an early First Sunday Mass for April. April celebrants will get birthday blessings after, the little girl is excited now. :) 

Holy Week Activities

We finally had our last day of work yesterday. We’ve been all looking forward to this work break. As for our Holy week activities, we won’t be going anywhere for a vacation or getaway. We’ll just be staying at home.

We just usually do our yearly tradition of Visita Iglesia. Last year, we were only able to visit one church because I wasn’t really feeling well.  Hope that we could go a visit at least 7 this time.

Ian and I will be going to submit requirements for Nicco’s entrance examination for grade one later.Both kids will now be going to the same school 🙂 So looking forward to see him in the big school.

Hope that I’ll be able to finish all of my pending tasks so I can relax a bit and spend some quality time offline with the family this weekend.

Hello March!

Wow, is it really March already?! Still got so many things in my list that I haven’t accomplished yet, photo books, blog makeover and organization, photo backs ups,etc. Offline things will surely caught me up again- examination week for dear daughter and bidding good bye to preschool years for the little boy.

I am yet to share my experience for online filing of the SSS salary loan and Pag-Ibig short term loan. A hassle free and easy way to file loan. 🙂  I am so looking forward to good news and progress as to work for this month. Hope we all have a fruitful month ahead!

Happy Valentines!

P1120310      Valentines Card made by the little boy in school

Almost a week late greetings, I know! 😀 Ian and the two kids got sick last week,the kids were doing fine now. Thank God that I was spared of getting sick to take care of everything, quite a blessing! ( though Ian still find ways to move around to help) It was after my birthday celebration when Ian felt something tender on his feet, which we came to know later as a boil.

Being a diabetic that he is, it grew bigger and more complicated the he couldn’t walk. He felt a lot more better now, though still a bit sore.

I am quite getting worried work wise, with the recent PR dropped of this blog, tasks are getting few since then. I am keeping my fingers crossed and praying hard that it pick up still despite the drop.

To wait and pray… pray! I am claiming that things will get better soon, health wise and financial wise.

Busy Week Ahead

We have a full schedule for this week. Tomorrow will be dear daughter’s first communion, I will be taking a half day leave from work tomorrow ( I am not really sure if it will last until noon)  and whole day on Thursday ( little’s boy’s educational field trip).

Last Saturday, Gabby had their confession at school. She went home with this badge.

As for the educational field trip of the little boy (last FT for his preschool years), places to visit are:

  • Manila Ocean Park; Habitat, Sealion show, Musical Fountain Show, Film Showing (Antarctica the Penguin)
  • Gardenia
  • Enchanted Kingdom

Still got some pending posts to publish and I hope it gets live by tonight. I am also praying for my pending project to push through anytime this week and hope to get paid right after. I hope this week will be smooth and productive one!

Hope and Prayer

I was asked to go straight to our accountant’s office first thing in the morning last Friday before heading straight to the office to submit some documents. Their office building is just right in front of the Sta. Cruz church.

So I did grab the chance to pass by and lighted  candles before heading to the office.

hope and prayer

It has been ten long years since I pass by the church. I remember I was really so down and low when I last went there. It felt good and light after praying to say thank you and asked for HIS guidance.

Two lighted candle for HOPE and GRATITUDE.

Hope. For my myself, family, relatives, work, friends. For good health and finances. For protection and keeping us always safe and away from harm.

Gratitude. For all the blessings that God has bestowed upon me, my family, relatives, work (online and offline) and friends. For always saving me especially those times I feel being alone and lonely and constantly reminding me that HE is always right beside me come what may.

“The POWER OF PRAYER” …. Believe!

20th Of January

Time flies indeed! It just seems yesterday when I’m all busy with finishing my pending tasks and so looking forward to the holiday break. Now we’re all back to the grind on the regular schedule.

What seems new for my January? nothing much for my daily job, still the same daily routine on out of the office errand (Although I have new way when going to our accountant. Ahaha!), clerical stuffs, etc.

Still the same morning routine; waking up early to check on emails, prepare my and the little girl’s things for school and office, send her to school and I spending a little more time to eat and watch morning news.

But, I am more high in spirit and more positive now 🙂 I aim to complain less and tend to look at the brighter side when faced with challenges.

High hopes and Keeping the Faith still all through out the year!

Holiday Vacation Mode

We were finally done with our last office working day for the year last Friday, December 21. We’ll be back next year, January 3. So I am now rushing out on some online tasks to be on full blast holiday mode until after Christmas.

I’ll be spending time offline starting tonight to celebrate Christmas with family and the whole day tomorrow to visit some relatives to greet them happy holidays. 🙂

Yesterday, my sister and her family together with my niece visited us. Kids are pretty excited to see their cousin Dwyane, it’s been a long time since they saw each other.

The little boy on the other hand has a slight fever now. I hope it’s nothing serious and that he’ll be fine soon.

DH will be cooking Carbonara for our potluck share for the Noche Buena tonight with my Ate I’s family.

Advance Merry Christmas to you all! 🙂

Seven Days To Go!

… and here I am rushing things out. Kids Christmas party will be tomorrow and on Wednesday and I haven’t bought the gifts for their exchange gift yet. We still have work schedule until the end of this week 🙁 So our holiday break is only good for one week too. Hope our boss will have a change of mind and let us have an early Christmas break. I am so looking forward to doing a lot of things during the break and hope to deliver on all of them as well- photobooks, calendars, home organization, a visit to friends and relatives, etc. Of course, catch up on lots of rest and sleep too. 🙂

I have tons of things to share here, but I hope to publish them by next week I guess, when I can have the luxury of time to spend in front of my computer to to the updates.
