Sick Zach

Its unfortunate that for the last two days, Zach was sick. He was not able to come to school. This morning, her mom brought him to the clinic for a check up. Right now, what bothers him is his coughing. He sounds miserable.

Hopefully, tomorrow, he'll be fine. We have no choice but to bring him to school.  At least, he gets to class this week, even for a day.

We're planning to go to Renaissance over the weekend. We've been planning for so long but we just didn't get the opportunity to be there.

Mom is working tonight. She made lasagna for us. It was so yummy that I had 4 serving. Unmindful of my upcoming phsical check up, and unfazed by the wrath of my physician.

Another day..., school is fine, but am looking forward to the upcoming carnival.

Night, night.

After a million try, I was able to contact Bicol and was able to talk to Pang for 30 minutes. A far cry from 3 minutes of interrupted and static conversation 8 months ago.


Its good to hear from Bicol, how everyone is doing and how are they surviving. To find out that life was not that hard as imagined is relieving.

I have not been able to talk to Pang for quite a long time. He seemed happy hearing Coco and Zach. Though pronounced Lolo Doding with Lolo Dodo, I know, they had an awesome conversation.

We can’t wait to go home, race with the chicken, ride at the back of the water buffalo, play hide and seek in the prairie.

Mang is doing fine so as the family of Tata.

Next week, they are assuming the responsibility of taking care of our chapel for a year. They’ll be the hermano and hermana of our little chapel. After living the seminary 12 years ago, this is the closest they could get in serving the church directly.

I'm Hungry

This is how Coco would interrupt our sleepiness every night. Just when you are about to close your eyes and rest, there he is craving for food while saying, "I'm hungry". What can you do, even if you ignore him, but get up and find him something to chow.

We're supposed to go home early today, but I felt I will not be given permission to leave, hence, we stayed until 4 pm. It was raining hard this morning, but the afternoon was a little bit tolerable. We ended up coming home quarter before 5, a far cry from our usual 1 hour drive.

Mom is working tonight, again for us. She only had 1 night off. But because it's Zach's and Coco's Conference Day on Monday, she has to work until Saturday.

I'm quite from my school requirements, but as usual, the newsletter takes a back seat again. Probably, it will be done on Friday night.

Time is so fast, October is almost over. We can't wait for the coming of December.

Last night was horrible, at around 12 am, I had hypo. Thanks to the wonders of peanut butter and roll, I was saved.

Its Friday tomorrow, I can't wait to come home and just enjoy the breeze of fall.


This pm, as always, Zach presented to us his new art, the Whale. For the first time, I am posting it thru this site.

Wet Wednesday

Sometimes, no matter how wet is it, you simply don't like rain. This is what happened today. On our way home, we were rained so hard that we have to stop from driving. At first, it was fun to watch and feel the rain, but later on, when it was already a threat, the fun stops.

The kids are good today. Zach and Coco definitely are enjoying their school. Aside from occasional morning riot, everything is fine. This morning though was Coco's turn to make things difficult to us. Unlike his kuya, he can easily be pleased.

Mom is off today, so I am on duty.  The question is, "tatagal ka kaya ako?".

We're heading to redbox to try to snatch Monster v. Alien.

Note: had a staff meeting today about RIT and CBM, all for kids development in school.

ADDICTED TO BAKE

 Couch is not the place for an older person like me to watch tv. It only takes a matter of minutes before I sleep. That was what happened to...
