Thanks to Ali Edwards for finding such inspiration!
The “Good” Samaritan turned bad and did not return the phone. Edil is still bummed about the lost SIM card. However, since he worked at SMART before, he can have the same number again even if it is a prepaid SIM. (We have very nice phone number, 99-99 ).
A good officemate offered to let him buy a N6600, which is better than nothing, and it was offered at such a steal so no worries.
Lesson of the day: Never invest on such expensive phones – they are very prone to stealing and accidental losing.
We are not without one maid for close to a month now. And with me and Edil both working full time, a grade schooler and a toddler, the house is a total mess. Clothes are washed weekly, folded hastily and ironed when we are just about to use it. We also did not require our maid to do anything except to feed and take care of Martha while we are away since Martha alone is a handful already. I really need to take time off work to declutter the house. I need to put away old clothes (in time for the slew of clothes the kids are sure to receive this Christmas, plus it gives me an idea what to get the kids) and have a tool storage for my paper crafts. I really need my own “space” in the house. A shelf will not do! I want a real workstation for me and me alone!
Yesterday, Edil lost his P900 
. It slipped from his pocket when he went down from the jeepney. He called his number and whoever found it replied. He would return it daw. Edil really pleaded to have it returned, even offering payment, because his SIM card was important. We do SMART Money on it and it is connected to a number of prepaid reloaders (We earn a decent amount from it too). Plus, all his contacts at work are there – from the point of view of a person doing sales, losing that vital piece of information is really depressing.
So we hope. We hope that the person would not consider backing out on his word.
By 9PM, Edil’s number was no longer reachable.
And I hoped and prayed tablan ng pagka-Good Samaritan ung tao.
So I guess I need to buy my husband a new phone.(?)
Over dinner, Matthew was being his inquisitive, talkative self. We were talking about synonyms and antonyms (the topic in his Language subject that day) and he asked, “What is immature?”
Immature: childish, isip-bata.
Matthew: “Ah! Parang si Daddy! Immature!” (“Ah! Like Daddy! Immature!”)
I could have died laughing (LOL).
Of course, Edil was red in the face and laughing too
I hate changing seasons. It means erratic weather, dust and pollen scattered everywhere, which means asthma attacks for the kids, colds every week, and my allergic rhinitis flaring up. This time the colds have hit me bad. I guess I havent been taking care of myself the past few weeks. My head really hurts and for the first time I feel like really hot inside (like my fever has not broken in). So Im overdosing with Vitamin C and will probably sleep in (and not wake up at 4AM). Too bad the kids’ sinuses are acting up – we all have stuffy noses. If only Matthew doesn’t need to go to school, I would have holed them up in Amadeo. I might ask my Mom to get Martha for a week since she has sipon again. I dont want her to have an attack so I want to prevent it from happening. So far, it is controlled with nebulization but as long as she is not taken from the source of allergy (which I believe is her case), she really won’t get well. An aunt told me to get my kids to an allergologist to find out the cause, once and for all. I might need to schedule a one week leave from the office then. She told me it’s going to be done every day.
Meanwhile, I need to get better myself.
I am outnumbered in the family. Edil and Matthew have long wanted dogs to keep as pets. If it weren’t for the lack of space in our house, we would have had one a long time ago. And we are not talking about cute, small dogs here. We are talking about big dogs. Since I have been deathly scared of dogs because I was bitten when I was a kid, I loved watching Beethoven the movie.
