what's keeping me busy?

I have several ideas playing in my mind yet I can’t write it right now. It is because I have so much work to do. And I am still thinking on what to do first. It is the result of being away from work for almost two weeks.

Aside from my work, I also have personal things that really keep me busy. I have the baby and husband to take care. I have the new house that still needs some cleaning and organizing and everything. I have plurk that needs regular update so that karma will not go down to zero again. I have this blog that was ignore for such a long time. I am also busy reading my new books.

And oh speaking of books, I would like to take this opportunity to thank princess_dyanie for granting one of my wishes.

Here’s what she gave me:

Dyanie, thank you very much.

What else? I am also a little bit depressed. As of today, I haven’t talk to my family in the province. Their cellular phones are still cannot be reach. I miss them and at the same time I am so worried about them because of the typhoon that hits our province.

How about you? What’s keeping you busy?

welcome to our new home!

hey guys, i know i owe you the pictures of our new home. the house that gave me sleepless nights. mahirap at magastos pala magpagawa and that really made me crazy. being an ordinary employee eh wala naman akong maipagmamalaki. hindi pa sya talagang tapos but we decided to stop the constructions and moved-in.


halina, silipin natin ang aming bagong tahanan.


here's now the front view.



the gate is still unpainted until now. and the developer disapproved my request for the refund of our construction bond because we haven't paint it yet. i told them that i am requesting for a refund so i can buy paint pero hindi umobra. hehehe. wala lang gusto ko lang din magpasaway sa engineer.


let's go inside. but please pay some respect to our guards so you'll be safe.


first to paopao, the kulit dog. K.A. gave that name to him. mahilig syang kumahol and sobrang makulit.



and he's friend siber. he is actually my sister's pet. unlike paopao, siber is very tahimik. hindi sya kumakahol but beware dahil sya ang higit na mas matapang.

and of course please don't forget to say hi to our hostess, K.A., sya ang mag entertain sainyo.part of our terrace/balcony. the rooms. the one which is partly open is our room and the other one is my sister's room.

sarap matulog noh? lika dito sa aming kwarto.

and kapag medyo nakaramdam ka na ng gutom, ito naman ang aming munting kusina.

that's it guys. wala pa kaming masyadong gamit. and i think it will takes few more years bago kami makakumpleto. nasa probinsya pa halos lahat ng gamit namin yong gifts during our wedding and we still don't know kelan namin maitransport dito sa manila.

I’m back!

Hello everyone! I’m back and I really miss you so much guys.

Excuse me for not updating you for such a long time. It’s because I got sick and I decided to be away for a while. Blame it to the weather. Mahina ang aking resistensiya kaya konting ulan lang siguradong trangkaso na ang aking kalalagyan. Hay…

Another reason why I was away for more than two weeks is because I traveled to our home town. Despite being sick, I still tried my best to witness the wedding of my younger brother held last April 28. Mas mahirap kasing tiisin ang tampo ng mga kamag-anak kaysa sa sakit lang ng ulo.

That’s it for now. I still need to prepare myself and be ready to report to work again.

Happy Monday everyone!

gifts from an angel…

Yes! You read it right.

An angel from Iloilo City sent me a wonderful gift surprise. Redlan sent me a package early Monday morning last week. It made me so excited the moment the LBC personnel handed me the package. Precious gifts that I never expected to receive for no special occasion.

They were beautifully wrapped. At first I don’t want to open them and all I want is to display them on my desk. The wrap itself made my heart jumped with so much joy.
And the gifts inside even made me happier of course.

He is a genie that I am looking for and truly an angel sent from above. He granted one of my wishes listed here.

Redlan, you really made me happy. You are so generous. And I know I can’t thank you enough for these gifts, for the friendship and for everything. I am so lucky enough to find a friend like you.

Thank you so much!

letter to K.A.

Dear K.A.,

Two years ago, you were born to saw for the first time the light of the world.

We could hardly believe that our little angel were finally right before our eyes after nine months of waiting. It was so amazing!

You made us the happiest person in this world.

You were so tiny and fragile then. We were even afraid to carry you then.

We couldn’t stop staring at you. You really look so adorable.

We were so amazed at how we have created you such a beautiful baby.

We guarded you zealously.

We could hardly sleep because we wanted to watch over your every move. We wanted to attend to all your needs as soon as possible.

Happiness overwhelmed us every time you opened your eyes and seemed to look at us. Even though we knew you couldn’t see us yet, we wanted you to know and feel that we are always around for you.

We didn’t want to leave you. We were scared to leave you home to your nanny during the times that we need to go to work.

We played with you and sang you songs. And we wished you could talk, walk and play with us.

As you grew older, handling you became more and more challenging for us. And yet we are learning lessons from you.

We wanted to mold you into a best daughter.

Days passed by. And you are growing so fast.

Now you are two years old already. Yet you still amaze us in so many ways.

You can now walk, run, talk and play with us. You even know how to dance, sing and imitate what we are doing or talking. You already know how to make sumbong, answers to our simple questions and count 1 to 10.

You are now more assertive. And seem to know what you want. Yet we know that you are still our pretty little baby.

We are so happy whenever you reach for us, kissed us a lot every time we arrived home and let us carry you as well.

We pray to God that you’ll grow up to be a God-fearing lady. We also pray that you be blessed with good health, sharp mind, loving heart, success and happiness all the days of your life.

And pray that God will grant us more years to come so we can be there for you.

We love you so much K.A. We are so proud of you!

Happy 2nd Birthday to you!

Love and care,
Mama & Papa
