It has been a long time since I wrote about me here. I decided to dispose my thoughts of myself on another blog and keep this a mommy and wife blog. (You got to keep things organized). But for the sake of keeping things interesting (and so that I can blog more!), I thought you might want to know:

1. That I have gained back the pounds I lost when I had dengue. No surprise there, especially from my family. My mom is insisting I take dietpills already.
2. That I am cured from my insomnia. It was so vicious I was really suffering for three weeks. I get sleepy now when it’s time for bed. Thankfully.
3. That I finally can prove I’m such a crybaby. Even my kids make me cry.
4. That age is getting to me. I find it hard to multi-task and still focus.
5. That I plan to quit blogging altogether by next year.

Of course, you would know the last one is a joke. But it has been on my mind a lot lately especially since the itch to study again is getting overwhelming.

I have a lot to blog about, but it requires serious concentration and zero interruption from my kids who think I am the only one who can put on the TV and get the water from the ref. *Ugh* So until next time, watch out for:
1. July – October monthly round ups (I need to do this for the Year in the Life Album I want to finish by end of this year. So far, all I have done is the journaling. I have yet to wade through DVDs of photos).
2. Matthew and Martha – Right Now.
3. Us – Right Now.
4. AWK 5: Blog-istory.

Of course you can read the dozens of posts I’ve written on the momentous Twitter EB (naks) a few posts below and on my other blogs. Too bad I missed the MBAP party. I’ll attend next time, promise (wag lang Nov 14, bday ng Mommy ko yun hehehe)

Saturday, October 18, 2008

I woke up at around 9AM to start preparing. Fortunately, neither the little man nor the Big Daddy was hard to wake up. We were on the road by 11AM and we ordered drive-thru food at McDonald’s because we were so hungry (Matthew ate two cheeseburgers). Thankfully there was no traffic so we were in Manila around 1PM. We stopped by Mall of Asia because I still haven’t bought gifts for the kids’’ babies and mine as well. We went to Toy Kingdom and Matthew started pointing again, I had to to tell him to wait because he will get new books at the party (Good thing I was right). Gosh, it was so stressful to shop under time pressure. Hahaha. I hope the kids liked the gifts. Stopped over Powerbooks to get Joy’s gift then had it wrapped and then we were on the way to Citadell In.

Martha was sleeping when we arrived but woke up immediately so she was not her usual self. Estong and Olin immediately went to play with her puppy that she was screaming and genuinely frightened “doggie” will die – which eventually came true.

They threw the doggie in the air until it ran out of air. It served its purpose in entertaining the kids so may he rest in peace.

Martha tried reviving him to no avail.

She forgot it as soon as there was a pool of balls to play in and one rocking horse.

I would need two entries for this activity-filled weekend. So much activity that I honestly am still so tired and believe or not I would love to sleep all night if I can. But like I said, it’s back to work so I might need to sacrifice and be a zombie for the next 48 hours.

October 18 – Saturday – Twitter Mommies’ EB Party

I will reserve stories and little anecdotes on this as soon as I can get more pictures from those who took shots that day. I didn’t bother even taking pictures as everyone had an SLR and there were much better photographers like me (like Abie’s husband Howell and Alpha).

To make it short though: We were on the road by 11AM and got home by 12MN. We spent around 7 hours driving to and fro. Totally worth it though. I’m thankful the husband didn’t complain (I took catnaps in the car).

October 19 – Sunday – BNP Feast Day

I missed the MBAP Party because we had a feast day yesterday. To make it simple: Christmas starts at October for us. We officially start the holiday season on October 23rd. Since it’s a weekday they decided to celebrate on the Sunday before the 23rd.

It was so H.O.T. But it was nice because I got to see my brother and sister again. And we even got treated to Starbucks.

Some pictures at Starbucks Tagaytay:

It seems I never get to fully rest during the weekends these days. I think I need Mondays declared as part of the weekends too. I need Mondays to recover from the weekend
