Life’s Lessons

Ito ay isang puno…isang matayog na puno kung saan manggagaling ang ginagawang pundasyon at haligi ng isang karaniwang bahay. Ito ang aking napiling ilahok ngayong linggo para sa ting tema dahil ako ay naniniwalang ang AMA ang syang haligi ng tahanan. Ang ama ang syang nagsisilbing gabay at nagbibigay lakas sa kanyang pamilya sa anumang unos na dumarating.

This is a sturdy tree where the foundation and posts of a house came from. I chose this as an entry for this week’s theme because I believe that a FATHER should be the foundation of a family. A father serves as a guide and gives strength to the family in facing all the challenges in life that come along the way.

Our yesterday’s trip was indeed worth the money, effort and time. Ace is now interested in going to beautiful places since he can afford to.LOL. We will definitely go back there with PILs because they’ve never been to Philippine Eagle Center. I was then thinking of Ella, Donald, Carol and my Daddy to also bring them there. The only problem is the transportation. We don’t have a car and going there by means of public transport is not very convenient for us. Anyway, Manang Inday then told Ace he should have a car so that we can go anywhere we want at anytime. Ace is thinking about that months before but since it is a very BIG investment, we cannot afford to have it now nor in the coming months. On the way home, Ace was asking me if he can avail of a loan…hmmm…guess what he is referring to is a Pay Day Loan. Finding such is not that difficult because there are a handful of companies offering Payday Loans….some are even online! It will be more convenient for Ace since he is working and payment dates would not be a problem with payday loans because as the term implies, it could be paid during payday.hahaha. So, I guess he will be considering that option to be able to get his dream car. Then, we need so many moolah to pay for it!

Today is FIL’s 57th birthday. It was such a great day as I and Che-Che went to the city to buy some stuff for dinner. After withdrawing from the ATM, I told Che-Che we’ll buy at least 1 dozen balloons. She was like, “are you okay?” Nobody will enjoy the balloons as we don’t have a kiddo at home. Thus, we went to Bankerohan to get a dozen of Malaysian mums. Che-Che insisted on getting a bunch of pink roses so we have 2 dozens all in all. The problem now is…we don’t have tall vases as the flowers we got are all long-stemmed. It’s useless to cut it short. The only solution is to buy a vase, actually vases and we really got two tall vases. Then we headed to the grocery and get all we need as quick as possible. After grocery we dropped by and bought a cake from Red Ribbon. 

Ace arrived earlier than PILs and we waited for about 30 mintues before they finally get here. After some picture taking, we had a feast…actually it is! The food is good for about 10 people and we are only 5 so I was like “tomorrow, we will all be on diet”. 

Anyway, Daddy and Mama seemed happy with that simple dinner. I was then reminded of the song we usually sing in church during birthdays and anniversaries….sweeter as the years go by. To Daddy, words are not enough to thank you for the love you have showed us (Ace and me). It’s more than half a decade life full of wisdom. Again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Note: Will be posting the photos soon as I haven’t uploaded it yet.

Nothing so important happened yesterday but it was such a great day for me and Ace. In the morning, we still have some toxins in our body that I went to the comfort room twice and Ace texted me he did the same. I was hoping that he’d get better in the afternoon. I told him to call half-day off so that he can rest but he was not allowed because nobody could relieve him. Ohh….Ace will have a hard time taking a leave because of his work load. He is a process owner and nobody could take over to do his task anytime. Poor hubby.

Though I don’t feel well, I still worked with OHJ and tried to finish my shift. Finally, I was off at 1800h and went to take a nap because my head is aching. I was up after 30 minutes and back in front of the PC again for my blogging thing. I miss blog hopping already. As much as I want to visit and read everybody’s posts,  I cannot find time. Unless I will be up the whole time Ace is sleeping. Of course,  I cannot spend so much time in the pc when Ace is home. I do need to spend some time with him and I feel guilty everytime he doze off without me by his side. Hence,  I was thinking of transferring the PC to our room so that I could still gab with him while he is resting and I am doing my thing. Hmmm….the transfer would be a lot of work as our room needs major arrangement. I need to move the bed to the other side of the room so that the PC table would fit. Moving the bed means moving other furnitures outside the room and Ace won’t allow me to carry heavy objects because of my recurring back pains. I hope Che-Che could help me with this within the week or early next week.

Ace was home early and brought home two crates of pineapple. I can’t imagine how we’re gonna eat all of it as the last time he brought home, I forgot about it until it was spoiled due to over ripeness. If it cannot be eaten until Saturday, will make pineapple jam by then. After dinner, we had a great time watching videos of moymoypalaboy in youtube that made us laugh out loud. Such a great quality time for both of us. Then, Che-Che joined us and the three of us are all laughing with out big mouths.LOL. Among the video entries of moymoypalaboy, Ace loves the one entitled girlfriend. If you think you need to stretch out your facial muscles, check the videos out. I bet you will have a great time.

Anyway, the laundry is again waiting for me. I am done with the sheets and curtains last week so what is left are our clothes. Since I’m off from OHJ today, I’ll be doing it later after getting my pending opps done. So, my blog hopping thing is still pending. I’m sorry to my online friends. Will catch up later. Before the day ends, you’ll see my footprints and comments in your blog. See yah later!

Yesterday, I was off from blogging because I and our youngest went to the province to attend Ella’s birthday party. The little girl turned 5 and she was so proud and happy she is now a big girl. Carol and Donald prepared something for snacks and they have a bunch of visitors - churchmates and neighbors. I was also excited to see Ella and take photos of her as this is her first birthday that I can personally take photos of her using our cam. Sad to say, Totiz (as what she called Ace when she can barely speak) wasn’t able to come because of work. Anyway, here’s some of Ella’s pictures. I won’t post too many as I will leave it to Carol to post all she wanted.

Ella shows how old is she….

The baby is now a lady? I’m sure Mamang is very proud of her little Neneng (endearment in Ilocano) that grew up to be smart and adorable kid.
