Even though we quarrel everyday, I still think she's the sweetest girl in the whole wide world. (*grin*) The best Ate to her baby sister, the most obedient student, and most of all the most loving daughter who idolizes her Dada so much! LOL!
HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY ATE A!
Mama, Dada, and Baby A LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
I've posted a couple of days ago that I went on a trip with my Dad to the province, my home town. Surprisingly I didn't get bored or anything. We talked about all sorts of stuff from shopping to hgh sprays that he used in the farm to clothes, shoes, and phones. I tell you, we talk about anything! And it's amazing how he looked so young in spite of his age. Look at him with his apos...
...and it's Ate A's 4th birthday already! I know, I can't believe it either! I feel like it's only yesterday that she had her 3rd birthday party in Jollibee with the cancer patients in UST. We decided not to have a party this year but instead, we just bring food and cake in her school so her classmates can celebrate with her. We brought a couple of give-aways too at Toy Kingdom but it was just a little something so the kids will be happy.
Anyway, will post a couple of updates about Ate A as she turns 4 in the next few days. For now, here are some recent photos. Not much because unfortunately our hard drives crashed and ALL of my files are there. It's in the repair shop as of the moment and I'm hoping to get ALL of these files again. Ugh!
Well, I'm talking about my friend, MM and I yesterday as we met in Trinoma. When we were in College, we used to eat a LOT. That's what we do. Of course we would talk about anything under sun (mostly about God). But the most common thing that we like is to EAT.
Yesterday we decided to eat at Gerry's Grill because I was too hungry to settle for coffee or desserts. Funny, we had rice, pusit ala pobre, and beef adobo for snacks! LOL! We even had to order extra rice. We finished it all and we left Gerry's Grill full and happy.
I guess that's how true friendships are (not about our eating habits). After not seeing each other for 3 months, we still managed to catch up with what's happened with our lives. Same conversations as before, although of course we had newer topics about health concerns (which is good because it means that we've grown after all those years), hemorrhoids treatment for the Mom of her friend, diabetes, our eating habits, and of course, we wouldn't fail to reminisce on the good old days. (*grin*)
It was fun. Especially capping off the night with a blizzard ice cream before going home. YUMMY!
I'm not blogging about my new project in detail because I'm sure it will bore you. I know I've mentioned here that I used to be a programmer and was transferred to the sales team. But ever since I left the company last December, I was thinking of going back to the IT world. The fun of web programming, the discussions about internet and KVM switches that will be used for network setup, the sleepless nights thinking of a solution to one exciting error. Yes, it sounds exciting so I decided to have a deal with my Dad and provide him a system for his business. I know I've missed a lot while 3 years of not doing programming but I'm getting there and surprisingly I've missed this. I've miss the job that I've been doing for 7 years.
Could this really be my calling!?
Honestly, I'm still not sure about that. But at least, I have something to look forward to again every time I wake up in the morning. (*wink*)
...for a few days already. We brought her to the Pedia yesterday and good thing she said that she's not admittable yet and can stay at home. When I saw that she wasn't herself the other day, I was deciding on whether I bring her to the ER. It was the first time that she lost her energy. She was way different from this.
Since I've been very busy lately, I don't have time to take care of my face anymore :( Although I try to put eye cream and moisturizer everyday but I don't have time to go to the salon for a facial. If only I can buy blackhead extractor so I can do it on my own. I can probably set a day, dedicated for myself. Oh yeah, I haven't had my ME time for awhile now. I was on a trip yes, but also that trip was more of work and when I had free time I would be in an internet cafe chatting with the Hubby. Maybe I should set a SPA day one of these days. After all, I deserve it, right!?
"I'm very busy" is an understatement. There are so many things that I need to do. Especially now that both kids are sick. Ate A had cough and colds but now feeling better already. Baby A is having her worst cough and colds too. :( So now I'm not only busy with the project that I'm working on, but I'm also busy checking on them every now and then and making sure they drank their medicines. (*sigh*) The good news is that I'm losing weight. At least I don't have to drink xenadrine rfa x - a new discovery the other day. Even if it's really effective, for now, I won't be needing it. Because of sleepless nights and lack of appetite, I really HOPE I will be getting my pre-pregnancy weight again!
