Bathroom Sink

I have been complaining about our bathroom sink before i left here for a long vacation in the Philippines because it sometimes clogs on me. So when i got back i was all surprised that finally, hubby replaced everything here in the house that are needed to be replaced. I am so glad to see the sink is now new and looking shiny. Hubby said the bathroom sink is been there since he bought this house and i am assuming that the previous owner of this had it for a long time already. Well, what do you expect? Guys don't really usually care about things inside the house, they don't notice things not unless wife will start to complain. But glad to see the sink is now working and looking pretty like me, just kidding.

Replacing Old Mattress

Time to replace my youngest's mattress! He always pour something on it and the poor bed of his is getting ugly and worn out. Anyway, it wasn't new when he was born though, we had it since his big brother was born so i guess he deserves a new one. It has been like what? 5 years? Yup, sure that's right! My little one is a wiggly piggly boy and he likes jumping on his bed, and that made the bed looked worst. Hubby said we will get the mattress within next week so we can get rid of the old one, it's tearing apart now. We really thought that the mattress will last until our youngest one is big enough to have his new bed, we were thinking that when he turns two years old we are going to move him to another room, but i guess we'll have to move him this time due to his bed. This boy is totally different from his big brother, my eldest is quieter and more calm, that's probably why the mattress still looks good until he outgrew it.

Neat Looking Young Man

Brand does not really matter to me at all, but the comfort is. I don't care whatever brand it is as long as i am comfortable wearing it and of course the price issue. I am a shopaholic myself but a reasonable one. As they always say, it only depends on how you carry it or how you wear it. But boy, not my youngest brother! He likes to get the most latest and stylish one. He looks good on it though, so it's worth it. Now he is eyeing to this polo boots that he saw and showed it to me. Well, i don't see any reason why he should not get it. I know he will get this and he already knew that it will look good on his feet matching with his branded clothing. He is one fashionable guy, i must admit even though he is not that good looking young man, but he's got a lot of admirer because he dressed nice all the time.

My Handful Potato

My youngest baby sure is so different from his big brother. In fact, they are totally opposite. The eldest is a quiet one and the youngest is the most aggressive and bully. When i had my eldest, i can just put him in the corner and give him some toys and he will be happy and contented. While i do my house chores, he will remain sitting in the corner as i come back to where he is at to check on him. I sure have a very good boy. But this third baby of mine is sure so wiggly, cannot stay put and be still even for just a second or two. My mother keeps on telling me that i should deal with their own different behaviors and attitude for every child has their own way and style. Oh well, they are my kids, i love them for what they are even if sometimes they can be annoying, but most of the time they are my happiness and source of strength.

Happy To Save

Buying a whole lot of things for love ones can sometimes be pain in my wallet honestly. But of course i don't tell my family about it, although i am happy to see them happy with the things i give them, it would be nicer if i always have coupons to help me save a whole lot. Using a coupon whenever i purchase something for them, it really helps me a lot for the price will be a lot lesser than the original price. I am not like what they call SCROOGE person but i love to save money too. Why spend more if you can save? Who doesn't want to save some money when buying things? Probably those people that has a lot of money that doesn't worry about their budgets, but i do and i would be so happy whenever i have coupons.

Failed Mission

You guys probably heard about the tragic hostage drama here in Philippines already. I myself is so disappointed of what happened. Also saddened upon knowing that there are 9 people died because of this horrible incident happened by Quirino Grandstand. The worst part of this is, the hostage taker was a dismissed police officer with a high rank and held the Chinese tourists. What made me disappoint about it is, the SWAT team and the policemen did a lousy rescue attempt. They weren't so properly equipped to knock the gunman down in just minutes.

In fact they rehearsed what to do to defeat the hostage taker but when they went to the actual place where the dismissed officer held the tourists, the rehearsal they did was all wasted for they did not do what they supposed to. What a shame record of Philippines again, the whole world knew how lame, poor strategy and tactics the Philippine police has. No offense, but i am basing of what i saw and what the officers showed to the public, they didn't do their best to rescue the tourists without casualties. Their mission was over and FAILED!

BER Is Christmas

When it comes talking about Christmas, Philippines is always ahead of that. Soon as the month comes BER, then people are starting to get ready for Christmas already. They prepare things for the holiday too soon, hanging some mini led christmas lights outside the house is the first thing they are going to do. I tell you, even this country is being called the third world, but you can really see the love in every houses during the special holiday in December. Because people usually will say that it doesn't matter if they are poor financially but they are rich with love to their family, which i strongly agree because i myself came from this beloved country of mine and i witnessed how a family sticks together through joys and pains, happiness and sadness.

Thoughtful Partner And Father

Taking care of our family's health is my husband's very first priority. When i got in America five years ago with our son, hubby took us to his workplace right away so the human resources can include us to my husband's Medicare plan. Hubby is glad that he got that taken cared of quick. I was not so aware then about things such like this because my mind was still shocked and could not believe i am in America already. But good thing hubby is really a thoughtful partner and a very responsible father, he thought of things that's for his family's own good.

Soon But Seems Years

I have been staying here in Philippines for almost three months now and i should say that i did enjoy my stay here although there were some problems that i encountered but that didn't stop me to look to a brighter side and ruin my holiday with my kids. Hubby is coming so soon but seems like it's years for me to wait for him to arrive. I just talked to him earlier before he went to bed about coming here to get us.

Honestly i am upset earlier for something. I will leave the reason untold why because i don't want to remember it anymore. Simple things that became big. In times like this, i wanted to go back to our house and be with my husband instead. But i am thinking that it will be awhile before i can come back here or maybe a long time, so might as well enjoy my vacation for now and get things all done so when i get back to my place, i have nothing to worry no more. Arggghhhh!!! I really can't wait until hubby's arrival, i really need him right now and his comforting arms.

Big Time Allergy

Okay, i was not able to rant this experience of mine few days ago since i am really busy lately. It's all about my son's allergy that attacked him big time! It was my first time seeing him having trouble breathing and it scared me to death. I really don't like him to play around with some other kids because mostly kids here like to play in the bushy place and my son can't really get along to those kind of place since he's got very sensitive senses. He gets itchy easy and his allergy will be triggered whenever he'll get near with pets like dogs and especially cats.

It was mid afternoon when he got loose and was able to sneak out from the house. He played with the kids from across the street since they are the only kids he can play with here. Not very many kids here in the neighborhood. I don't find anything for me to stop him from playing with them because they are good kids to play with, it's just that they like to play in the bushy place which my son is a big no no place for him. I forgot to check my son that time because we were busy replacing the floor mat with my brothers. He came home while he was rubbing his eyes and told me he thinks he got allergy already. Upon seeing my son with itch on his face and his eyes started to swell, i freaked out right away for i know he ran out of allergy medicine already.

I gave him a cool bath right away thinking that it would help him ease the itch on his face and gave him cold compress using ice wrapped in a small face towel. But it didn't worked though, it got worse and worse every minute as i checked him. My mind started to panic and thinking something else. But when i saw his allergy started to spread all over his body, i had to make a quick decision to take my son to the town so he can see a doctor and will be prescribed some medicine. So i took him right away and got me so frightened as i saw him catching his breath, he in fact told me he was having hard time to breath, it felt heavy for him to breath. There's no mother that can just sit, watch and relax seeing her kid in a situation like what i just had. I cried while we are traveling to the town, it's a little ways to go that's why it took us for a little while to get there.

I am just too thankful that we got there and the doctor was still in his clinic and was able to prescribed my son a medicine for his allergy. I gave him the medicine right away and waited for few minutes and so glad that the medicine worked. Although not as effective like what he had, the one i brought here with us from America but at least it helped him to breath better and stopped his allergy. I felt so bad seeing my son with swollen eyes and watery nose. When we got back here at my mother's place he knocked out. I didn't left and i stayed beside him and kept on checking on him to make sure nothing's gonna happen to him. I cried so hard, i really got so scared for my son. I can't stand seeing him being attacked by his allergy that bad. I just hope that it won't happen again next time and i will try my best to make sure that there will be no next time. It sure is scary and it will freak me out, i don't want this situation ever will happen again, no more....
