Brotherly Love

Filed under: [A] Our Family, [B] Patrick, [C] Kendrick, [F] Pixel Perfect — Admin @ 6:46 am

I just gotta post this picture of my boys that I think it’s their sweetest pose so far,and I can’t help it but to realized that, wow! they’re grown so fast!. I’m just glad that regardless of their 4 years age gap,they grow up emotionally closer with each other. Everytime I spend time with one of them,whoever was with me,he always think of his brother at home and make sure that we always have a “pasalubong“(a li’l coming home present) for him.I’m just so happy that I decided to be a stay at home mommy and take good care of them and watching them grow before my eyes is really a worth keeping experience knowing that I can’t be with them all the time as much as I want specially when they started having they’re own life and exploring the world without mommy & daddy (at least on their side physically). I have to savor every minute with them while they still think that mommy is the most beautiful girl in the world! (please bear with me, I’m having a mommy moment here…..)

We are about to leave here within three weeks time,I already printed out our trip Itenerary and call the Airlines to confirm our flight,and It’s really makes me feel sad :( , I feel like being here for more than a year is still not enough but I know though,that wether I like it or not,we really have to go, my husband miss us terribly as much as we miss him,and so my in-laws,they miss the boys so much,but I’m just glad that the boys had a chance to meet their cousins here and also learn my native language,both of them are now expert in Tagalog. :D

In a few days,I have to post about the things I’m gonna miss,because I know it’s going to be a long time again before another vacation here. Not just for financial matters but also the schedule,Patrick will be in first grade this year (he attended kinder here),then I’m going to get a job as well,so there will be too many things to consider before we can afford another “Bakasyon Grande“.

Busy Bee

Filed under: [E] Bits n' Pieces — Admin @ 9:08 am

Next week and the weeks after that will be a very busy week for me. As I always mentioned on many of my previous post regarding our migration to Canada ,as we are getting closer to do so.With so many things that I need to be done,I already put it up for a very long time,and us,being here for more than a year and now are getting closer to leave again,I feel like I’m running out of time, and I have to ask myself, “How am I gonna start?”.Thank god,since hunny want us to go on April 26,and I guess,we got lucky because that date was already fully booked,so we have to re-schedule our trip on May,and obviously it’s only few weeks away.

But anyway,I don’t wanna think about it too much or I’ll just drive myself crazy, but instead,I want to share about my PhotoBlog, that I created three weeks ago and found myself having fun with all the Photo Community that I joined. I must admit that it’s not easy,but it’s not that hard either. I’m really having fun taking pictures,the hard part is looking for a perfect subject that will perfectly match the week’s theme. As I always disclaimed myself as a professional photographer,much of the terms in my digicams manual i can barely understand and I’m having trouble using the other features,but what the heck!,like what I said,I’m having and it’s all that matters to me.

As I was about to finish my today’s blog entry,I have to do this tag from my friend, Queenz, I promised her that I’ll do it as soon as I can,and here’s the rule for this.

Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves. Bloggers that are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules. At the end of your blog,you need to chose eight people to get tagged and list their names.Don’t forget to let them know that they’ve been tagged.

Eight Random Facts/Habits About Me

1. When I was a li’l girl,the only reason why I wanna go to US was because I wanna be on the plane and see the snow.

2. I have a very few friends so I’ll make it sure that they always feel appreciated.

3. The idea of being in a ship really scared the hell out of,I don’t know why or how it all began. I was never in a ship and I don’t think I will be in the near future. (but the thought of Disney Cruise sounds fun though)

4. I attended almost all kinds of religous worship/service ( or whatever they call it) literally, like, Catholic,Church Of Christ,Jehova’s Witness,Seventh-Day Adventist,Baptist,Methodist,Lutheran. So as of now,I don’t know what is my religion or I guess it depends who’s asking me.And oh yes,I got my first son’s name, Patrick, from St. Patrick Cathedral in San Francisco CA, where I first attended a mass when I went to US.(and we’re not even an Irish!)

5. I hate my feet. I think it’s the ugliest part of my body,(second to my face!)

6. When I was single,I promised myself that Im not gonna married someone whose surname sounds very unusual like bad words,a curse,or just simply exotic (and yes,my family name now sounds nice)

7. I’m left-handed,so when I’m writing,the paper should be in a 180 degree slanting position.

8. I just stole a pair of spoon & fork from Jollibee(my boy’s favorite food chain) a few weeks ago,not because I need it, (or maybe I do) but because they make me wait longer for my french fries order!

There you go, eith good and (not-so)good things bout me. and it’s your turn.

Hands Up, WP!!!

Filed under: [A] Our Family, [C] Kendrick, [F] Pixel Perfect — Admin @ 3:06 am

Wow!! I was very surprised when I logged in to my WP Dashboard this morning to found out the latest upgraded version,now I can add everything on my post.And no,I don’t like it, I LOVE IT!!!!

I was busy this week attending some school events that involved my nephews and nieces. I have a two graduating pamangkings from primary level, then others are just a part of the honor roll in their class, (and yes,it runs thru the family,so sue me!!, ha,ha,ha,ha!! *just kidding*)And hey! it’s not easy because I have to give them a present for their achievements and oh boy! they are expensive.

But on the other hand,I still have manage to spend time with my boys, so let me post this picture of Kendrick that was taken yesterday,we take a walk within the village ,it’s like “just-the-three-of-us kinda moment and I always make sure to take the camera with me knowing my boys love to have their pictures taken regardless of how goofy they look in their pose,but this one,Kendrick decide to look somewhat “formal”,and yes,it’s only for this picture. :)

And I have to make a one simple request to please,please,please and more please…, kindly visit my photoblog simply called PixelMinded that I just made this week and hoping to keep it updated for a longer time just like my personal blog and if you are really kind enough,leave me a comment, negative is ok but rudeness is definitely not acceptable.And the last but not the list,I would like to say,THANKS Mars! for giving me the link for my digital signature. :)

Have a great weekend everyone.

Summer Fun

Filed under: [A] Our Family, [B] Patrick, [E] Bits n' Pieces — Admin @ 9:28 am
Summer is officially here(,and the heat is kiling me!). Schools are off and you can see children playing outside all day.And if there’s anything I really love about it, is shopping for a summer clothes,and living in a sun deprived country for 6 years wasn’t really fun,because I can only wear shorts for a very shorts span of time,let me say 3 months,and being born and raised here in the Philippines,of course I enjoy wearing it more than ever.Shorts and Tee are my favorite everyday clothes and who doesn’t?, it’s very comfy. I treat myself for a couple of shorts. I have to shop for boys but I can’t do it if they are with me because all they do was to goof around. If I got lucky,I’ll do it this weekend, althought I already bought them a couple of shirts as well.
Here take a look.
By the way, last March 26,my father-in-law celebrated his 70th birthday, hubby and my two brother-in-laws prepared a surprised party for him.I just want to say. . . .
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD!!!!
