Feeling Better

After almost 2 weeks of having flu, I am now finally better.

I go with Gareth to his therapy and he’s so happy.

After his therapy, we went to the mall. It was raining hard that day that we can’t enjoy outdoors.

It was also so humid and I can’t stand longer outside.

Eversince Gareth has his speech therapy, he really improves a lot. This time he is more responsive. I can’t wait for him to express himself clearly.

Right here… I am wearing our plain cotton tshirt. If you are interested to purchase you can check our FB Page: Ayumi’s Fashion

Since it was Friday, we went home late because of traffic.

Fruits

Since I was a child, I already love fruits. My grandmother trained me to eat fruits.

I am still not feeling well, so I am craving for fruits. I’m glad that hubby got this Marang at Rustans. It’s quite pricey but it’s okay, it just satisfied my cravings.

This  is Passion Fruit, some people like it in juice but me, I like to eat it as it is. I just added a pinch of salt and that’s it.

I like it when I have cough, it somehow soothes my itchy throat.

I hope I will feel better soon…

My Thursday

It’s been a while since I drive, I stop when I had my vertigo attack last year but really, I miss doing it.

Sometimes, I don’t want doing it because I am a thinker, I can’t think if I am driving but I want to do it if I want to relax my mind. I can drive up to Tagaytay without fear, I am more relax when I drive. I like long drive alone with loud music.

But I need to change my habit I think 3 years ago, my family got nervous everytime I drive alone because of so many bad things happening in the country. They are protecting me because I am the head of the business and they are not going me out alone. So I realized that I should take care of myself because a lot of people are relying on me, so I have to be mindful of everything I’m doing.  I don’t want them to worry, so I managed to stop. I like big cars and maybe if I have more money I will start to collect more!

I bring Xavier to his first Dentist visit. He was not scared. Our dentist is so nice and she keeps on explaining to Xavier the whole cleaning procedure. My baby likes it so much and he will have his follow up check up next week.

After visiting the dentist we went to the mall to get him his costume for his school activity next week.

It was raining so hard that time and it was one of the reasons why I got sick again.

Fr. Al’s Birthday

It’s Fr. Al’s Birthday and I already set a schedule to visit him in his resting place in Cavite.

Fr. Al is the founder of Sisters of Mary School and I was one of the scholar. I am so privilege to know him and be part of his congregation. I am not who I am today if not because of him. The school imparted values to me that even until today is a big part of me.

If without his teachings, I am not be able to know the value of sharing blessings, I am not be able to know the value of helping others. Maybe, I am so high of myself if I was not mold early on.

When I was in my lowest point, the teachings I taught help me build myself again and I know that there were times that I will feel so down but with the deep foundation I had during high school I always believe that I can always get up.

If you like to know more about Fr. Al, you can check this link about him.

Then I got a chance to see my batchmate, Sr. Quennie who devote herself to stay in the congregation. 

I visited the school with my batchmates who work with me with my manufacturing business.

Then we had our quick dining at Leslie’s Tagaytay.

Still Sick

Friday:

I was so down! I just woke up to eat and took my meds then headed back to bed. I slept the whole time.

I woke up around 6am on Saturday because I was so hungry, I had my breakfast then just read my textbooks because I need to finish my thesis for this term. So kailangan ko ng tapusin kaso lang dahil may sakit ako kaya eto napending naman.

So kahit masama ang pakiramdam ko tinapos ko muna yong isang chapter then I feel so sleepy. I slept around 9am and so groggy with the medicines.

Before I knew it.. nagising ako ng 6pm and I was so hungry! Naduling na ako sa gutom kaya ayon bumaba na ako at kumain na.

Still not feeling well, grabe ang ubo at sipon ko and may body pains na. My God, parang more than a week na tong sakit ko. Kapag gumanda lang konti pakiramdam ko ayon lumabas na agad ako, kaya ayon bumabalik ang sakit. Nong isang araw nabasa na naman ako dahil hindi tumigil ang ulan at kailangan kong lumabas kaya ayon, bumalik ang sipon with ubo and body pains na. Pinakyaw ko yata lahat ng sakit! Ok lang na ako, wag lang mga anak ko dahil mas matindi naman ang stress non sa akin.

My God, sana gumaling na ako… dami kong gagawin at hindi na pwedeng macancel ang scheds ko next week.

By the way, kahit sa office madaming absents dahil uso nga ngayon ang may sakit. Kaya, I hope yong may sakit sa team ko ay maging okay na agad sila. Ang hirap magkasakit talaga…

So ayon, I stayed the whole Friday and Saturday sa bahay at balak ko hanggang Sunday sa bahay lang.  Babawi lang talaga ng pahinga.

And by the way, this is Yani, our pet cat, sobrang lambing nya. We have 4 cats at sya ang pinakamalambing sa lahat. These past few days na masama pakiramdam ko, hindi ko talaga sya mahawakan dahil nga nasa kwarto lang ako, kaya inaabangan nya ako sa labas ng room lalo na kung mag CR ako. Tapos ang mukha nya ang lungkot lungkot talaga. I just asked my sisters to give food and water kasi baka nagugutom, tapos sinasabi nila sa akin na busog naman daw. Pero I can feel na malungkot sya…

So kanina while watching TV, ayon bigla syang naglambing, hinintay talaga nya na umakyat na ang mga bata sa room nila para matulog, bago sya naglambing sa akin. Ayon ang sarap ng tulog nya sa dibdib ko. Siguro nag alala lang sya kung bakit hindi ako lumalabas kaya siguro panay ang akyat nya. Kaya din siguro malungkot sya.

Ganito pala ang mga pets ka sweet. Hindi kasi talaga ako mahilig mag pet pero napilitan lang ako sa kanila kasi gusto ng mga anak ko. Kaya ayan… natanggap ko na sila pero ako pala ang nahook.

Anyway, I hope everyone is okay..  I hope that if ever you are sick today because of the bad weather lately, I hope you will feel better soon.

That’s all guys!! More kwento next time…

Just Staying at Home

It was always raining and all I want is to stay at home and just rest.

The kids are requesting me to read books. Then I got a chance to scan the manual, it’s study time…

Spending more time at home is all I needed when I don’t feel good but I know that I have things to do soon.. so I should get up and start moving.

Sunday Dinner

We had our dinner at Pepper Lunch at Eastwood.

It’s good thing that we arrived earlier than usual.

It was a rainy day and this meal helps me feel good. I was still not feeling well and all I wanted to do is sit down. I am still dizzy.

Though, I don’t feel better, it was still a great day! I got a chance to spend more time with the kids.

Update

I’m  not feeling well today so for 2 days I just stay at home.

I was amazed when Xavier went home with this paper bag he made in school.

It’s a back bag. When Xavier got fever, he don’t like the cool fever, so I showed it to him that it’s okay to put the cool fever. Yah.. I have fever, colds and body pain for two days now and I am taking my much needed rest. I hope I will feel better soon.

I asked hubby to get me rambutan, one of my favorite fruits. It somehow feel me better. When I was young, my Lola always get me this fruit when I was sick.

While at home, I am dealing with clients and reading my textbooks. I need to finish my thesis for this term. So I am taking my medicines for me to feel better because I have so many things to do.

Mom’s Duty

September 4, 2019

Today is Mom’s duty. I need to attend Gareth’s Therapy evaluation. For his almost 2 months in the therapy, he improves a lot and I am so proud of him.

It may be little but it’s so special for us. He now learns to express himself little by little and those little things are so precious to us.

If you have special kids, you will definitely understand what I am talking here.

I hope Gareth can have conversation with me soon about anything, because right now, he only talks if it’s interests him.

We are at the Sunnies Cafe. This was after his therapy session. He’s hungry already. I am just loving this freedom that I can always attend to my kids school activities. 

It was so hot in BGC and since I only slept 5 hours, we headed home after his class then sleep.

I woke up around 8pm for dinner then I need to read my textbooks for this term. 

Anxiety

Anxiety is common now a days…
I had a chance to talk to some of my friends and this anxiety is really controlling them. Anxiety is also controlling me.
There were days that I can’t think clearly because of anxiety. There were days that I can control it, I can just kick it away and I just go on with my day. It is a constant struggle and it is really tiring.

But at the end of the day… we need to control it or we should do something to overcome it. We will never let it control us.
