Mom Was Still Recovering

It’s always good to have some rest because you feel fresh and vibrant. It’s been a long weekend because my dayoff extended through the holidays. I’ve had four days off from office works and enjoyed my days with my kids as full time mommy. My kids were so happy when they learned on Saturday that I’ll have four days with them, Josh actually jumped lol! It’s also a good chance that the holiday falls on Ruth and Redge birthday so I don’t have to file vacation leave.

Redge didn’t go to her work today as Mom still needs care and attention as she’s slowly recovering from her sickness. We scheduled our leave and it’s my turn tomorrow. Maybe I really should plan my last day in office as little by little Mom is showing signs of old age and she needs us always.

Sis' Birthday!

It’s my younger sis’birthday! I’m not going to give out her age though lol! Since our dear Mom is sick these past 2 days we decided to make it a simple birthday only. Actually Redge always wanted her birthday like this – peaceful and quiet. She didn’t want appointments and scheduled activities on her birthday.

Bestfriend Jen was the only visitor because Jen is like a family to us, not really a visitor. We grew up like sisters having known her since we’re in sophomore in high school. She brought chocolate cake and we just cooked pancit canton and Jen’s favorite crispy fried chicken. As always we chatted and laughed like in the old days but now blogging is our main course of the day as we’re all hookup with blogging now.

Ruthie Pie is 11 Now!

Ruth is 11 years old now and to celebrate her birthday I took my 3 kids in the mall. They’ve been requesting that all they want is to have some nice time in Tom’s World and they want to go around the mall with me. Since my Mom and Redge can’t go with us as Mom was sick we planned to just buy foods and celebrate her birthday in our house.

I let them play at their favorite arcade store and shop at Ever for their clothes and shoes. It’s been my habit that if one of my kids is celebrating a birthday all of them will also have new clothes or things, of course the celebrant gets more. They were beaming with excitement and was tired enough when they finished gaming, our last games was basketball and we all played lol!

Mom was better when we get back and she ate with us on Ruth’s birthday celebration. I didn’t cook any; we just bought all our foods – cakes, pizza, ice cream and chicken. Important thing is Mom is well now and my kids were very happy especially Ruth who kissed me and thanked me for a HAPPY birthday!

Mom Was Sick

My Mom was sick and feeling so weak, we arrived home from church sensing that something was not normal to her. Mom’s feeling cold and lacks appetite. We would ask her what she wants to eat then after tasting the food she will lose the appetite to continue eating it. We prayed for Mom’s recovery and Redge asked me to accompany her in caring for Mom as she can’t carry her by herself only.

Mom can’t stand and walk to the bathroom by herself I need to almost carry her. That makes Mom sad because she hates the feeling that she’s weak. Anyway I just massaged her back after and told her to try to get some sleep so her body can recover fast. I stayed in their room the whole night. No need to hurry up as its holiday tomorrow. Hope Mom will get better tomorrow.

Little Plans

Had some little planning for my eldest Ruth’s birthday on the 18th of this month. We’ve discussed and agreed to celebrate it in her school but GMA declared it as holiday in place of August 21 so our plans were changed. Maybe we’ll just celebrate it in our house and invite my daughter’s close friends. Gen suggested that we just go out in the mall and enjoy the day there. Oh well whatever will be the celebration it’s fine with me as long as my kids are happy. That would make me happy also!

Pastor's Birthday

Our Pastor in the church celebrated his birthday today and we took our leave of absence to greet and see him on his special day. We cooked everything in their house. It’s me who did the steamed tilapia with mayo, grated cheese and fried garlic powder, my favorite actually. The ministers bought cake and cooked 10 kilos lechon kawali, the most in-demand food. All sisters are in-charge of other foods like white pancit, siomai and the fish that I prepared.

We didn’t only come for the birthday greetings but for the sharing or words as well. We know that Pastor was very happy with our presence because I’ve seen it in his eyes the happiness of having his family, brethren and friends on his special day.

Missing My Bes

Grabbed this pic from Joy dear, sister of my bestfriend JennyL. It just striked me this morning that I really miss her. Because of my very hectic schedule I missed my every other Saturday visit to her which I oftenly do when I'm free.

It's nice that these days we have our instant messaging through yahoo messenger which gave us time to chat online even if we're on our work. If I want to update what's happening to her in details I just visit her 5 sites, actually it's her 3 domains that I frequently visits, Slice of Life (her main blog), Jenny Said So for her photos that I love seeing and This and That Online - her shopping blog.

And as always If I really want to hear her voice and we both have free time I call her. Talking to her on the phone is still the best.

GSP and Malling

Finally we've visited the SM branch in Taytay and it's because the activity of my girls' Girl Scout was held there. It was a GSP All Age Activities that's why the management have under estimated the capacity of the SM event center to accommodate all Girl Scouts from Rizal and in other towns of Metro Manila near Rizal. We usually held our program in Pasig capitol because the place there is so big it can be used for large function
activities.

Anyway since it's in the mall the kids were so happy not just in girl scouting but also in the thought of strolling after the activities. True to their thoughts I really let them roam , stroll and eat wherever they want so they can relax and have some bonding with them. We've visited shops catering to kids like National Bookstore, Precious Pages, Quantum, we even looked at Lumanog musical instruments because Gen was eyeing Lyre and Guitar instrument. I just stopped at some surplus and garments store. Final destination was at SM hypermart to do some grocering and marketing. We're all very happy and tired when we finally reached home.
