Black thumb =(

As regularly done, I called Summer at home after school.

She was crying 'owie' (ouch in Summer's vocabulary). She was saying something about ipit in between her cry. I asked her Ate Cory to apply ice. Turned out, she was crying because she doesn't want her ate to put ice. So I just told her that if she will not let her ate put ice on her owie, I will have to bring her to the doctor.

When I got home, a portion of her thumb fingernail turned black.Summer's okay na. Accidents happen.

Photo Hunt: Bright

My third post for Photo Hunt, theme is 'Bright'.

I posted a photo of my baby with her eyes so big, it's like a car's head light on bright mode.

Alma Mater

A busy Thursday night.

After work, from Karcraft, we had dinner at Monaco Cafe. I want eating there. I so long to try their crepe but I always end up too full after the main course, sadly, no more room for desserts.

We then went to Manila Doctors to visit Odie for his 3rd session of his chemo therapy.

Then, we went to Thed's wake at Don Bosco Mandaluyong. Parang ang panget pakinggan, but the family was excited to go back to their Alma Mater, from Papa to Kuya Olejoe and Omar, and even Mama. It was my first to be at Don Bosco too. I've been to Don Bosco Makati, but not at Mandaluyong. There were a lot who went to give their last respect for Thed, families, relatives and friends from school and different orgs Thed belonged.No, that's not Summer. It's Omar's niece, Keisha, from his cousin. She's so cute and loves to sing and dance.

We went home 12midnight na, kung kailan ako pinagbawalan ng OB magpuyat because of my low CBC. Ganyan talaga makipag kapwa-tao. Babawiin ko na lang sa pag kain ng atay at ampalaya.

A Tragedy

What Frank left the family is a tragedy.

The missing mountaineer at Zambales was Omar's cousin.

They left for Zambales early morning of Saturday. Morning of Sunday, as they were about to cross a 200meters wide stream, which was just below their knee deep, came a flash flood and water was neck-deep already. The 12 mountaineers crossed their hands together (like kapit-bisig style) while crossing the stream. Thed, Omar's cousin, was at the end of the line. Unfortunately, his buddy, which was just in front of him, was freed from the group and so was Thed. They both did not make it, including the local guide from the area who tried to rescue them.

Thed's body was found yesterday, on his 32nd birthday, 2hours travel by land and an hour travel by boat from where they were last seen.

So tragic. So sad. He was too young.

OH NO!!!

I always call Summer after school, to check if I need to bring home something, like an assignment or a birthday party for the next day.

Me: Hi Summer! How's school?
Summer: Hi Mama! Galit teacher inside the classroom.
Me: Ha? Bakit galit teacher? What happened?
Summer: Fight.
Me: Oh no! Who's fighting?
Summer: Mermer.
Me: OH NO!!! Sino fight ni Summer?
Summer: Niko.
Me: Bakit kayo fight ni Niko? Diba I told you no fighting?
Summer: Ok mom! Bye mom!

Grrrrr!!! Para na nga ako long playing album pag umaga paulit-ulit - listen to your teachers, no fighting, no hitting, share with your friends.

Sparkling pregnancy

What's with pregnancy? Since I discovered I was pregnant on December of 2007, I became too lazy to post anything at my blog.

You can see how my number of posts dropped dramatically since December, considering that December is a busy month for all of us with all the happenings and parties we attended. Then came January to March which marks the beginning of the year. Then came summer! Summer is with me almost the whole time! I must have loads of stories to tell about her, but I'd rather shrug it off and not record it at all in my blog.

But now, the spark just came back! I'm revived! I am so back to blogging! Notice how I start posting again last May until now. I hope I'll continue doing so for the coming months. Must be because I am now almost at my last trimester in pregnancy that I'm no longer lazy. But it's even harder to sleep now, I must not have enough energy for blogging. Or maybe I need my blogging to recharge my energy.

Thanks too to SocialSpark for putting up with my spirit. It's a great timing too that they accepted me in their community when I'm just reviving my spirit in blogging. SocialSpark is different from other forums. Here, you can meet new friends, reading their blogs and getting to know them.

Now, stay tuned and watch me tell you my stories. Now that Summer is back to school and I'm almost ready to pop, I sure have lots to tell. I'm so excited, I am so back to blogging once again!

Typhoon Frank

It's on the net. Check your yahoo mails and you'll see at the homepage and their headline is all about the damages typhoon Frank is giving the country. True, it's so sad, specially the victims of the sunken ship.

We woke up early hoping to catch the 9am mass, 30minutes drive from our place. The wind was so strong it was not safe to travel so we decided to hear mass in the afternoon instead.

We had breakfast, then slept, woke up to eat lunch, work a bit, went to Jollibee for a drive thru again for a bite (mahirap kasi kumain ng lunch kasi brownout di mo makita ang food), slept again, woke up to attend the 5pm mass, had dinner, and now blogging and watching the rerun of Hannah Montana's concert (though, di na sya 3d, kainis!), and will sleep again.

Good thing we decided to stay than to go home to Paranaque. Classes are suspended for tomorrow.

Buhay baboy, katamad! Kaka-guilty din knowing that some people are struggling to survive the typhoon. We just have to pray for their safety and more strength and thank Him for not putting us in their situation, for being so blessed! Hope you're safe!
