Kung Hei Fat Choi . . Kuha mo?!

January 23, 2012

     Had a great day today spending time with my in-laws. We prepared a simple meal for them during lunch and merienda. It's great to see them having fun with my children and my hubby too. ;) yan mo ko ngh ti

     Prep time is also fun and hectic. Pero keri lang. Minsan lang naman eh. 

     Later in the afternoon after our siesta, pumunta kami ng mall para mamasyal. Ok naman, masaya din. Except I REALLY didn't like the resto where we had our dinner. Ang baho at ang layo pa. Ayoko ng ganun. Eeeewww.... 

     Dapat pala tumingin muna ko sa internet ng pwedeng kainan para naman hindi nakakahiya sa mga in-laws ko. :p 

     Sometimes I wonder, bakit kaya kapag may ayaw sila na bagay or kahit ano, hindi na lang nila sabihin bluntly na ayaw nila nun or daanin nila sa ibang ways para masabi na hindi nila gusto yung bagay or lugar na yun? Many times kasi napapansin ko sa huli lagi nagbibigay ng side comments. Eh obviously naman na nabahuan dun sa place at naguluhan. OMG! Up to now ba nagkakahiyaan parin kayo ng mama mo ha? I know that you're gonna read this so I'm gonna tell this to you. 

1. Please don't bring me/ us (with the kids) to that kind of place anymore. Nakaka-trauma sa totoo lang.

2. I hope you won't ask your parents "Saan nyo gusto?" Give specific places na lang para specifics din yung answer.

3. If may nakita ka na na place, tanungin mo ulit kung ok ba sila dun. Or before hand tanungin mo na yung kapatid mong babae kung ok ba sila mama sa ganung resto. 

4. Please don't blame me na matagal akong pumili ng glasses dahil alam mo naman na matagal talaga akong pumili ng kahit ano.

5. Please, I will repeat again! Ayoko ng minamadali ako! Ayoko ng mga hirit na "Sige na para tapos na." Bigyan mo ko ng time! Thank you at ginawan mo ng paraan ang lahat pero ayoko ng pinagsasabay-sabay lahat!!!! Walang natatapos ng maayos. Feeling ko parang gawaing paa lang. 

Please if you're reading this let us work things out na walang sumasama ang loob sa huli. 

Benefits of a broken laptop

January 19, 2012

     Recently, I haven't been so active on social networking sites, and on any other site for that matter because our laptop got broken. At first it was our globe superstick, and then eventually, sumunod na rin nasira ang laptop namin. Yep, it was my fault again. I accidentally dropped it. Yes folks, that's how careless I am. I am now dropping laptops. . . :-(

     When our laptop was getting fixed, I enjoyed more TV. It can be a little boring but it can buy a little time off. So it was ok. Second, I enjoyed more time with the kids, especially with my second child. I could talk to him more, teach him a little more and sleep a little more as well. Now that our laptop is fixed again, it takes so much of my time, since I got a little - ok, a lot excited of being in the net again. I just wish I'm not getting freakishly addictive so I could more rest. :-/

The perfect birthday wish

12 January 2012


        What I am about to share with you happened over a year ago when mom and I are still having some problems. As you have read from my previous blogs, it came to a point wherein I did not care about her anymore. If she gets sick, if a car ran over her, I wouldn't care anymore. I wasn't even sure if I will cry at her funeral. Yep. That's how angry I was. 
        But that was months ago. What I've failed to mention in my blogs recently is that everything turned out fine with me and mom. (Finally!)
       It happened on my birthday June 30th. I was so pissed and stressed because everything is not going the way I planned. I guess you can say that I'm a little bit of a perfectionist since I don't feel too comfortable when everything around the house is a mess especially if there would be en event. I want everything done neatly.
      So apart from the unfinished house chores, my yaya back then had chicken pox and so we had to make her rest in her sister's place. In short, injured kami sa house. (injured - in my vocab can also mean kulang sa tao, kaya dadami ang trabaho).
     I felt so sorry for myself since it was  my birthday and I'm doing my chores. :-( It was a good thing that my mom called up Ian and asked him what my plan was. My mom already made plans to go home early so I could go out on my birthday. 
     The bad part was, nawalan na ako ng gana mag-plano kung ano gagawin ko sa birthday ko kasi nga it started as a stressful day. It was a good thing that Ian told me what mom had planned for me because I took it as a sign to made amends with her after months of not speaking to her.
      So I texted her, apologized, and thanked her because even if I have shouted, cursed, and treated her badly when we were fighting, I felt that she still cares and loves, not only me but my family as well. :-) 
      Siguro sabi ni Lord, tama na daw ang patampo effect ko at panahon na nga naman para magka-ayos na kami. Haay... natupad na din ang pinapangarap ng asawa ko, more biyaya, este, more peace in the family. (Hehehe! Joke lang labs if you're reading :-p)

                Sa totoo lang, ang hirap maging babae!

                Now I understand kung bakit ganun-ganun na lang ang treatment ng mother and father-in-laws ko sa sister-in-law ko. She’s older than me by a few months but we were born the same year. When she was younger, they would always treat her like a princess. All her other brothers have assigned chores to do in the house while she sits and relax – this is the part where my husband starts debating the rules of their parents. My husband would say, “Bakit siya walang ginagawa? Dapat fair.” And my mother-in-law would say, “Hayaan mo na siya, babae siya eh.”

Before I thought that this kind of reasoning was absurd. Yun pala, my mother-in-law turned out to be right. You see, when I was younger, I didn’t realize that when you would have a daughter, you should take extra good care of her because in the future, she would be a mother, a friend, a wife, an employee all at the same time. Kaya habang mapagbibigyan at maalagaan mo ang anak mong babae, alagaan at pagbigyan mo siya.

                The reason I shared this story to you guys is because today, I literally felt like a supermom. I took care of my kids, fed them, played with them, managed the chores in the house, fix and clean things, etc. I had a time of rest, but by the afternoon, I thought I’d clean up the ref first. Then, I got disappointed because while I cleaned the ref, I got little time and energy left to finish arranging the clothes in our cabinet. And then my 2 year old was screaming! So I took my cigarette and had a little break. After I had my yosi break, I was so proud of myself for having cleaned my husband’s closet! Yes! Three cabinets, two drawers and one room to go! 

                When night time came, I was too tired and asked my husband to help me teach our eldest because he will be having his exams tomorrow. So he did that, and then he was able to feed our 2 year old (Yay!).  I slept for a couple of minutes because I was too exhausted to do anything. But then, I was able to get up, have another yosi break, took a bath and started blogging. Ergo – feeling supermom. :p
