New Beginning

I happen to see the files of my old website in my hard drive. Reading,  reminiscing,  smiling …I should write again. Read on…

I think all kids, at least girls, go through a stage wherein they would like to be hairdressers for themselves. Sabrina cut parts of her hair today. When I asked her why she did it she said “di ba you want me to have a haircut?” Buti nalang it did not look bad kaya lang I have been wanting her hair to grow out so that when we eventually have it cut it will be blunt straight. Well now it has some layers. Tudy did the same thing when she was small. She hid at the back of the sofa and cut her bangs really short! Like what I said every little girl must have had this kind of an adventure!

After 7 years I finally got to swin in the pool again. I previously bought two new bathing suits. Two Piece! Dinaan ko nalang sa lakas ng loob! They are so nice and colorful, I just had to buy them. I psyched my self bahala na! It feels so refreshing to swim nowadays. The heat is just too much. I made Caloy an offer he could not refuse in exchange for cleaning the pool. The trainer said swimming is a good cardio excercise. Sige na nga! Bumalik na ang maid so I won’t be cleaning bathrooms for some time.

Another day to be happy about. I have finally uploaded our site to the server and it took me 10 hours to do it. How I wish I have DSL! Then I would have been able to do it for maybe just an hour! Anyway, I am just ecstatic that this is finally up. Hope everybody will enjoy viewing as much as I took pleasure in doing this!

I am so happy today! Activation for my new web hosting finally became official . Was ever so ready to upload to the new server but somehow there were a few glitches. Talk about serendipity. It was actually a good thing that I was not able to upload right away because some links in my site got overwritten. I got to fix them before finally uploading. This is a fine example that things are meant to happen at the right time with the right circumstances.

It’s Mother’s Day today! The kids got out of bed early and they left the room to go down right away. I thought it strange because they usually spend about an hour so or more watching TV before going down. After sometime, both of the kids knocked on the door and when I opened it there they were, Tudy with 2 white roses and the card that she made and Sabrina with a toy that she makes believe is a camera to record the moment. She even said “mommy, smile!” I knew about the card but I was surprised with the flowers. I asked why only two, she said she gave one to lola Bina. Such a great way to start Mother’s Day!
 
We celebrated it at Dreamscape. I rode the balloon with the kids. I got dizzy. The rest of the time they kept on playing on the machines for tickets. At the end of it all they accumulated about 600.

It was truly a happy mother’s day. Why? Because the kids had a happy day!

Finally the gym got a new instructress to do Pilates. I was elated at the same time a little disappointed. The girl let us do yoga for 40 minutes and only about 20 was devoted to Pilates. I was elated because I really had a WORKOUT! But disappointed because I do Pilates and not Yoga. She was even letting us do the Yoga position wherein you support your whole body just by the palm of your hands. What was she thinking? Bragging to us that she can do it? Of course non of us Pilates practitioners got to do it!

Was able to talk to her in the locker room after the session. We discussed the exercises that we did and she said that she does not do a pure Pilates workout because she develops cramps and her students might have them too. I informed her that it has never happened in the past. I have got to talk to the gym supervisor regarding this.

Audrey’s first baby molar came off. She said she hopes the Tooth Fairy increases her reward for having good teeth. The Tooth Fairy heard her request. She saw P50.00 under her pillow when she woke up. Is this more or less how much the going rate is for the Tooth Fairy? Or has inflation set in to the economy of the land of Tinkerbelle?

I was awaken by a noise of little movements at about 4 am. I saw Sabrina go out the door of the room. I silently followed her to see where she was going. Along the dark corridor I decided to call her and she immediately went to me. I asked her where she was going and she said she was going downstairs to get new clothes. She wet her bed. Two days ago she wet her bed and I told her that if she does it again I will get mad and let her sleep in the other room. Caloy said rather than me getting mad at her again and having to sleep by herself she chose to brave the dark and planned not to let me know that she wet her bed! I felt so proud of her and I told her so. She gave me a tight hug and went to the CR to finish her wee wee. I got her new clothes and she told me she will not wet her bed again! These little moments are what makes having children worth everything!

For defending my rights, my family, especially my children, a person has been calling me a b!it@h behind my back. I feel so sorry for her, can’t and won’t say it to my face because deep inside her she knows that she is no match for me. She can call me all the names that she can think of but it will never change the way things are, that I am blessed and she lives a life of pretension, deceit. deprivation, sadness and yes, I know for a fact, even fear. Every time she calls me such, I am ever so thankful for what I have. She makes me realize that I love, care and provide the best for my children so that they will grow up with happiness and contentment in their hearts. I am indeed blessed!

We spent Sunday and Monday at Fontana. I couldn’t believe that I actually psyched myself to go into the water. I made sure though that the sun was already down. I was first scared to try the slide but I ended up enjoying it.

Sabrina is trying to learn how to swim by herself. She went underwater and paddled. Of course I got scared every time she did this but Daddy said it’s ok tutal water level is only below 3 feet! My kids will be good swimmers. Buti nalang. At least they can save me!

We still do not have a new maid so I had a good cardio work out cleaning the playroom yesterday. I started before 2:00 am and got to finish at about 5:30 am.  Of all the rooms to clean, this is the hardest. I had to segregate all the toys of Sabrina into their proper containers. I do this regularly to make sure that toys that go together, go together so that they do not get lost and are still complete. So far this has paid off because majority of the toys used to be Tudy’s. At the end of each cleaning session I always wish that the kids would be able to maintain it. But then again I know that it will be just that…a wish!

Sabrina got excited about her new dresses. Hand me downs from Tudy. She always appreciates new things given her.

I have been bugging Caloy to schedule a trip to the zoo. Tudy has never been to one and she has been asking us to go. Sana next week.

Went to the gym to work out. It has been more than a month since the Pilates instructor last showed up for a session. My body misses the stretching.

We went to Visita Iglesia being Good Friday. Of course after the 7 churches there had to be an eight. And this year it was Burger King. The whole clan was present. The Bolding Hizons is getting big. Super sikip na kami sa van!

One of our maids left last week to go home to the province so everybody has to pitch in and do extra work. I designated myself to clean the bathroom. And so after everybody had gone to sleep, at 2:00 am I started to get down on my knees and scrubbed the water stains away. Cleaning bathrooms is one task that I do very well. After I am done, you will not have second thoughts about bringing food inside the bathroom. That is how I want my bathroom done. Clean and disinfected!

After I was done with the brush and the sponge, it was time for the broom. I swept the sala and papa’s office. Caloy got mad at me. I shouldn’t have brought the dirt outside because it is night time, especially the dirt from papa’s office, the seat of power! Malas daw! But I did it already. So to remedy the situation, I swept everything back including the dirt I got from everywhere else. E di nadagdagan pa ang swerte!
