Kids Day Off

We decided to go out with the kids and have dinner.

We went to Spaghetti House

Gareth  loves it when we go out. Gusto ko din syang masanay na lumabas, kasi nakikita ko sa ibang special child na nakatago lang sa bahay, parang ang hirap sa kanila mag adjust kapag lumabas na. I make sure to let Gareth go out and exposed him to the real world.

We let him watch movie, dine out and mingle with other kids. We let him experienced what we normal people do. He loves to travel so much. He likes going to the beach and riding airplanes.

 

There were times that he has tantrums outside but we help him control his emotions.

Yong akala ng iba na mahirap silang turuan in public, siguro mas maganda kung subukan nilang ilabas labas para naman masanay.

I’m glad that Xavier also knew the case of his kuya. We tried to explain to him about kuya Gareth because there were times that Xavier was asking why his kuya was not talking to him. So by explaining it to Xavier as early as now, will help Xavier to adjust to  his kuya’s behavior. Somehow he already know how to handle his kuya’s tantrums. 🙂

 

Spaghetti

Xavier loves spaghetti so much. We decided to bring him to Spaghetti House and then these happened…

He tried so hard to eat on his own and I am so proud of him.

There were moments that he’s so independent and I want him to be that way. Parang ang bilis ng panahon, ang dami na nyang nagagawa at sobrang daldal na talaga.

He is the joy of the family. I am thankful everyday for having Xavier in our lives after the storm. He is indeed our Rainbow baby. 🙂

Craving for Pancake

I was so stressed out last weekend and I was craving for Pancake.

Mabuti na lang magaling magluto si hubby. I like the one with strawberries. 🙂

 

Don’t ask me on how to make it coz’ I don’t cook. I don’t have any talent in cooking. 🙁

Saturday

My Saturday

I just stay at home since our kasambahay was not yet home and I already decided not to accept her anymore. Mahirap na magtiwala sa ganong klaseng tao. To think na kamag anak pa namin sya.

Iniwan pa nya ang anak nya sa amin na isa ngayon sa alagain namin. Pareho silang 3 years old ni Xavier so times 2 lahat ng kakulitan. I can’t even think straight dahil hindi ko nga maset ang priorities ko kasi biglaan ang nangyari.

May mga lakad na kaming nacancel kasi walang maiiwan sa mga bata. Sana nagsabi sya na ayaw na sya para nakapagready na kami. Sa ngayon hindi pa rin nya sinasabi kung ano ang balak nya sa anak nya. Hindi pa rin sya nagtext na kung kukunin na ba nya. Parang walang balak talaga. Hindi ko maisip na hinayaan lang nyang iwanan ang anak nya ng ganon ganon lang.

Some are suggesting na kunin ko na lang ang bata, pero paano kung dumating ang time na kunin na lang basta basta sa akin, eh di sasama pa loob ko. Sa ngayon hindi din  talaga namin mag alaga pa ng isang toddler lalo na at sobrang demanding sa time at attention si Xavier. Hindi pwedeng mahati ang attention ko sa kanila. Kaya wala akong choice kundi i-turn over ang bata sa DSWD kung hindi pa rin nya kukunin.

Anyway, I surprised Xavier with this new toy. We just hide it para ibigay sa kanya kapag nagsawa na sya sa iba nyang laruan.

 

He was so happy when he received his food truck. 🙂 He loves cooking so this one is really perfect for him.

I also exercise 30 minutes. It is already a routine, at least 3 times a week. So parang nasanay na ang katawan ko na gawin to. Kung hindi ko magawa parang may kulang.

Actually, I already reached my 120 lbs. target weight. I am so happy kasi feeling ko malaking achievement to kasi for a long time na gusto kong maglose ng weight ngayon pa lang nangyari.

I am back to my old weight before I got pregnant of Gareth, but the problem is the tummy area. Ang hirap na talaga kapag na CS kasi parang ang hirap paliitin ulit ang tummy.

So far, I had a great weekend.

I am preparing myself for the busy week ahead.

Sakit sa UIo

Okay.. I need to rant

Oct. 5, habang nasa office ako, I received a text message sa kasambahay namin. May imeet daw sya na pinsan sa Ynarez, so ako naman pumayag. Kasi feeling ko kailangan nya ng time lumabas labas at baka stressed na sya, kasi palagi na lang sya sa bahay.

Sinabi ko na dapat before 10pm nakauwi na sya. Around 10pm tinatawagan ko pero hindi sumasagot. Nagtext sya na hindi daw sya makakauwi, kinabukasan na daw.

Nakakainis kasi lahat kami may kanya kanyang schedule, tapos biglang aalis ng ura urada.

Here comes Oct. 6, lahat kami nag alala na kung nasaan na sya. Hindi pa rin sya umuuwi. Nagtext sya na nasa Paranaque daw sya at hindi na nya alam kung papano umuwi. Nong tinatawagan namin, hindi na namin macontact. Off na ang phone. Nakakaloka!

Ang alam namin may bf sya sa Pampanga, so malamang nagpunta sya don. Dala din nya ang pera ng kapatid ko, na pwede nyang gamitin pamasahe papunta don.

Eto pa, may anak syang 3 years old na babae at iniwan nya ngayon sa amin. hay talaga!

Hindi namin alam kung ano ang gagawin naming schedule sa mga lakad namin ngayon dahil walang maiiwanan sa mga bata.

Parang ayoko ng kumuha ng katulong, sakit lang sa ulo.

Hindi ko na nga pinapakialaman sa mga gagawin sa bahay, hinahayaan ko na lang para hindi naman ako sobrang sungit sa kanila pero ang ending umaabuso naman.

Kapag natuto na talaga si Gareth at Xavier na maglinis ng bahay at maglaba, hindi na ako kukuha ng katulong. haist!

 

Mom on Duty

Puyat si hubby kaya ako ang nagsundo kay Xavier sa School.

Kakagising ko lang, nawawala pa ang kilay ko. Hindi ko mahanap at baka lumabas na si Xavier kaya nagmadali na ako.

On time naman akong nakarating.

Ayan masaya na sya.

While waiting…

When I get home, ayan si Gareth naman ang naglambing.

I love being their mom. 🙂

Weekend at Tagaytay

Last weekend I decided to bring everyone at Tagaytay. It’s been a while since we all go out just to relax.

Sobrang traffic that time pero mabuti na lang nakarating kami ng maaga aga. We also drop by at SOM to meet Sister Riza a happy birthday.

Then we went to Dencio to have our early dinner.

Sobrang nakakahilo ang byahe kasi traffic sa bandang Ortigas kaya bago kami nakarating ng Tagaytay, masakit na ang ulo ko.

I realized na hindi na ako sanay ng long drive. Medyo matagal tagal na rin kasi na hindi ako nagdrive kaya siguro ang bilis kong mahilo lately sa byahe.

The kids love it so much that we finally go out. Si Gareth gusto pang mag beach kami.

Dahil kailangan naming tutukan ang business kaya medyo hindi pa kami nakakapagbeach kaya ang mga bata medyo sabik lumabas.

It was a great weekend with the kids.

Puto Bumbong

This is quite a late post.

I’ve been so busy lately with all the works and I really can’t wait to have a short vacay soon.

Anyway, puto bumbong is one of my favorite Filipino dessert but it is only available during Christmas. I am glad that it is now available in the nearby church every Sunday. I am glad that hubby finally have this. This somehow satisfied my cravings.

Onward — New Book

I think I need a break. It’s been weeks that I was so busy attending our new projects, the Furrple and uShopNow, so I finally got a chance to read a new book.

I was browsing a bookstore then I finally got this one. I wanted something that will inspires me and this is the perfect one.

Upon reading this book, I realized that I still have so much to do and what I am experiencing right now is just so normal. As a business owner, it is really normal to experience hardships. Without hardships I know I will not grow wiser and it definitely make me think of something new for the company.

I am somehow thankful for all the difficulties that I’ve experienced so far. I also realized that if you are passionate enough for your business, I think no one can bring you down.

If you are someone like me and experiencing difficulty as of the moment, then I want you know to just hold on because sooner or later, everything will be okay.

Cheers!
