our singing babsy

Posted on October 31, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized | 1 Comment

It was my mama’s birthday last Wednesday and since all of us were disappointed when our original plans of a Red Box videoke lunch for my birthday didn’t push through, my mama told us she’s hoping to try again on her birthday. So we got there early and excited. I haven’t gone videoke singing in [...]

birthday plans

Mateo will be celebrating his birthday in a little over two months. Ramil and I are thinking of how to celebrate his birthday. Now that he’s bigger, we know that he’ll appreciate a small party for him where the main goal is for him to have fun. For his first birthday, we originally had plans [...]

birthday check-up

It was my birthday last Saturday. I barely noticed it. I wasn’t even aware it was almost my birthday until some of my students greeted me on the 24th. I told my mama that you really forget your birthday when you have a child already. So Ramil had several ’surprise’ plans for my birthday, all [...]

a sick toddler ain’t fun

Mateo has been having on-off low-grade fever since Wednesday last week. To say that we’re worried because it’s been more than a week already, is an understatement. The whole thing is made more complicated with the fact that his pedia is out of the country since Wednesday last week also. He started having cough, really [...]

laptop hunt

Posted on October 23, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized | 2 Comments

Ramil is seriously thinking of selling our almost 4-year-old laptop. When a colleague of ours went to the U.S. this past month, we were debating whether to ask a favor from her so we can get a laptop from there where they’re cheaper. She actually saw a Sony Vaio for less than $500 and it’s [...]

for all baghags

I’m sure all baghags out there would be excited to join this contest. It’s absolutely free and there are 24 handbags to be given away. I’m not a baghag myself, most of the time there are other things I’d rather buy than a bag. I guess one major reason is having a sister who’s a [...]

christmas gifts for my men

Ramil and I already bought Mateo’s Christmas gifts, a 5-piece Backyardigan beanie babies. So I’m happy I’ve crossed that little man from my list of Christmas-gifts-to-buy. I still have to think of a gift for my big man though. I only hope I can look at some Sector watches and pick his gift from there. [...]

Mateo and I were in the library the other day. A grade three student gave him a small ball and I reprimanded Mateo because he kept on throwing the small and semi-shouting ‘throw’. Here’s what happened:
Mateo: THROW! (proceeds to throw and then run after the ball)
Me: (getting the ball from him) Don’t throw the ball, [...]

my sister, the borrower and payday loans

Posted on October 8, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

Now that my sister is living with us, we’ve both gone back to our habit before of borrowing money from each other. When we were both still living with our parents, we’d often borrow money from each other whenever we find ourselves short in cash. Good thing we haven’t had any problems with paying and [...]

chronic fatigue syndrome

Posted on October 8, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized | 1 Comment

Ever since I could remember, I could easily feel stress in my body. Sometimes it shows as an increase in pimples in my face, or weight gain/loss, or bad hair/skin texture, or hyperacidity. I knew that stress could bring about a lot of possible illnesses but I just recently learned of CFS or chronic fatigue [...]
