Im sorry for spacing out on you for most of the week: I have perfectly perfect reasons for doing so

1. Im on my own. Well, we are on our own – me, and two kids under age 7. I let my maids go last Monday (it was a mutual decision), so my me time has been severely compromised, especially with our router taking the perfect timing to die. (Bad CD-R King!) Before you sing me praises, let me add a disclaimer: Im so scared of mumu and robbers and with me and the two kids in a big house, we bummed at my parents’. Im sharing internet access with my youngest sister who is severely obsessed with Japanese actors so yes, internet time is compromised too.

2. Martha got sick. She was poo-ing around 5-10 times a day for three straight days (started on Monday). She lost a lot of weight but did not get dehydrated nor had a fever, thankfully. I made sure to keep her hydrated and stuffed food into her mouth every chance I can get. Buti na lang likas na matakaw tong anak ko. She was still active the whole time too. Yun nga lang, tambay kami sa bathroom lagi (I would have blogged in the bathroom if we had the router, grrrrrr.)

3. Since we have no maid, I have been preparing Matthew for school. I still wake up at 4:30AM but instead of me turning on the laptop to start my day, I head off the fridge to think what would Mato’s breakfast be. Complete lifestyle change I tell you. Hahaha. (And no I still havent been cooking, I have the toaster to toast bread, make hotdogs and the micowave to reheat rice and leftover food from dinner)

4.If most of you have visited my food and health blog (naks, kunwari), you might remember I blogged about joining an online version of the Biggest Loser among my digiscrap friends. Week 1 I did good but Week 2 has had me groping for control. Staying at my mom’s is not helping because we have great food and I have a Dad who loves to eat. Isang aya ko lang nun kumain, lalabas na kami. Either that or sya ang magaaya. Im trying to psych myself that I can still bounce back so holding myself accountable has helped me a great deal (so does drinking liters and liters of water). You can view my chronicles here.

5. I blogged about a big secret two weeks ago, and I consider it such a great accomplishment to be able to keep it for two weeks. Hahaha. Glo had known it since its planning stage and the MBAPs (and Jen) knew it just this week. Nope, no pregnant. Nope, Edil didnt resign and transfer work (we are not that crazy YET). Nope, no work for me too. See my secret here.

6. Lastly, I just love this month: 08.08. July has got to be my least favorite of all months (bad memories) but August is among my top five favorite months. Since I just love the number 08.08 and my 365 Project never saw its fruition, Im going to be doing my own Photo a Day for 08.08. I have always wanted to be able to capture everyday life – in its truest form, and I want to be able to capture the nonsense things that happen to us everyday. I have steered away from months that have celebrations of some sort, so August will be perfect. I know I can do it — because I did my Christmas Album for 31 straight days and didnt miss a day! Matthew and Edil still look at the album from time to time. Im not going to go Shutterfly this time but will be doing it simpler. You can read about my project here, I hope you can join!
