We took time to go to Simala last Monday for a bit of prayer and reflection. I didn’t realize the place was too hot, too packed and very busy! I was in a sun dress and I was almost NOT allowed to enter! Good thing I had Ozzy’s towel to wrap around my waist - not a very pretty sight - but I didn’t mind. (a bit! ahaha)

But never mind, we went there to pray and give thanks to Mama Mary for all the blessings so even if it was scorching, even if it took us a good 30 minutes to get in and an additional 1 hour to line up…I didn’t complain. And that’s tough for me because I hate the heat!

My mom has a video where a Sto. Niño image was visible with Mama Mary and yet there’s no Sto. Niño image anywhere near this altar! So where did it come from??? Many witnesses also say they’ve seen Mama Mary crying.

We were suppose to go on to the beach after but it was toooooo darn hot and we were really tired so we decided to head on home and get some rest.

Well you guys already know about my driving. Oh yeah. hahaha After all, I’m 25 and soon to be a Pre-school mom, I need to learn how to drive. Agree? My new fave song that keeps playing in my head while driving is One Step At A Time by Jordin Sparks.

"We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time"

Love that song.

So what else happened? I was able to withdraw paypal funds to my local UBP account. I was waiting and waiting for the dollar exchange rate to rise up to 45 and when it did, I withdrew my money before the rate goes down again. *Happy* A friend texted about selling some designer bags. My blogging money can afford the bags (cash!) but I declined. Josh will be so proud of me ~ lolz. I am hoping he’d buy me one instead *hint-hint*

Lastly, I had my hair makeover. Remember my bangs? Well, I needed to have them redone professionally since it was all crooked. Wanna see me now???

Highlight!

My maternal grandfather celebrated his birthday this week and he turned 82. We went out for a simple gathering in Cebu Grand Convention and had Chinese laureate style for dinner. It was yummy. Ozzy enjoyed it too. He was well-behaved all throughout dinner despite the messy eater that he is.

But after dinner and dessert, it was a different story! He was so excited to play with his uncles and aunties that he ran around the place and wanted to look at the lobsters in the aquariums. At one point he didn’t want ME carrying him (which is really rare). He wanted his uncle Enzo or Aunty Kaye which is totally fine with me.

All in all we had a fun night with the family. Happy 82nd Papa Sing! ^_^

P.S. He’s not drinking wine, that’s water. lolz

Highlights!

• Bid goodbye to Josh. It was a sad day for all of us, but I could not help but smile thinking how hard working my husband is and how much he is willing to sacrifice for me and especially for his son.
• Friends came over for pizza, coffee, brownies and cookies! Yum.
• Had our annual Barkada pictures even though were too old for that! Hahaha
• Finally got my fill of sweets from La Marea.

That’s about it. Enjoy the weekend ^_^

July 15-20, 2008

Last week was a bit boring for me.

Aside from buying (again!) another custom domain I’ve bought something on ebay as a gift for Big J. Online shopping is quite exciting noh? But I won’t get hooked (hopefully!) because I want to save save save! So all in all I have 4 blogs.

1. Me, Myself +2 - “It’s not all about me now.”
2. Fun|Fierce|Fabulous - “Strutting my stuff despite the diaper bag.”
3. Ozzy’s Mom - formerly knows as Supermodel Wannabe
4. Kidd Designs - on the making…

We also had lunch with my in laws and relatives of Big J for his despedida. 4 days from now, he’ll be flying off to Norway. Wahhhh.
