Now I Can See You!

This was Zach's first word when I handed him his repaired eye glasses...after more than a week of not wearing one since it was broken.

Mea Culpa. It was so king of him not to complain about his misery of not wearing one and not seeing so clearly. Indeed, we can't be assuming that he can see clearly, when in fact he can't. Blame it  to my laziness and our insurance that's why we can't get him a new pair until January.

Tonight, the 3 put up the Christmas Tree. We have now the feeling of Christmas at home. Love to see the christmas lights and the music that reminds us how close we are with the coming of Jesus.

We have a tough day today..no rest but we had a good lunch. A once in a blue moon lunch that didn't make us duped by an scrupulous restaurant.

Night.

Crossing Our Fingers

This week marks a new beginning for all of us. Mom is ok, Coco and Zach are doing fine, and I am not experiencing the dreaded flu.

This pm, we went to the baptism of Kris and Cathy's daughter Katie. T'was a revelation on how Filipinos celebrate baptism. We love celebration, we love people and food. The commotion is very much evident of a barrio fiesta baptism, everyone takes picture, unmindful of the liturgy that is going on. I wonder, how are we evangelized before? Or we were really excited about the child and not the liturgy.

I can feel the stuggle of the priest to drive the message assigned to him to drive. It was very tiresome but the fun of it was, we were aware that the children are going to be part of our community.

Food was good, so as the stories. Children running around and friends catching each other's update simply mismerized your soul.

But of course, nightfall reminded us that we have to go and pack for another day lies ahead of us.

Thank you.

Week's Woes

This is a terrible week for the family. First, Mom got flu over the weekend, then it was Zach's and Coco's turn on Wednesday. Our life was disrupted and we were just confined at home. I have to take a leave of absence for 4 days just to take care of them.

Although some say it only takes 3 days to get back to normal, yet you always decide on the side of caution knowing that Coco and Mom have asthma and Zach's coughing woes were terrible to hear.

We have a lot of things lined up for this weekend but I don't know if everything can be done. This is not the type of break you want to have, when you're awake at night and asleep in the morning, life is turned upside down.

Hopefully the bug won't bug us anymore. We had our own share of experience. And I'm telling you, its not pleasant.

Just like every week, we are hoping for a new day next week.
