Happy Feast of St. Paul and St. Peter 2012

Little girl going shopping

We have no work today. Yay, I love it so much. Holidays are indeed little joys for working parents like us.

Working in a Catholic institution has these perks. We get to enjoy fiesta holidays and it is such a big thing for us because it means quality time for our little one and of course, an extra day to do some house cleaning and lazing around the house.

Little girl has been really getting bigger, wiser and full of energy dancing, jumping which can be an issue sometimes because she can get sprained at times due to carelessness. Thanks to her favorite DVDs and CDs which the only ones to calm her down and get glued on TV.

Excellent in Personal Relations

We call our little one expert in personal relations. She says hi and hello to whoever she encounters. In this photo, she approaches a pretty girl while leaving a restaurant when we eat out one weekend. Uncle Sieg got a photo of her together with the girl who ushers diners to their restaurant.

On another note, I'll have a restful week because work will start on Wednesday since we have no work on Monday and Tuesday. I love it to the max:).

Have a nice weekend friends:).

Watching Keona's Videos on TV

It's really nice to experience your child's development as she grows from being the cute cuddly baby to this full of energy big girl. Keona is growing and with the technology today, if you have a video cam or digicam recording these precious moments is just a click away. Most of my files are in my laptop, photos and videos all together.

Sometimes we would watch Keona's video on my laptop, but hubby is just not satisfied by watching it on my laptop, he wants to watch in on our big TV. Luckily my laptop can be connected to our TV via a DVI cable. I leave it to hubby to set things up. Listening to him in explaining about connecting this cable to a HDMI TV cables and using VGA cable to this and that makes my head about to explode. So I usually insist he do it himself:). When he's all done, watching the videos through our TV is much better than on my laptop.

Keona Fell on the Floor

Yesterday afternoon, when Keona was asleep, I left her on bed while I had my afternoon snack in the living room watching TV at the same time. I heard a bang on the floor and I hurriedly went to our room. Keona crying so loud on the floor. She fell on the floor! I did not expect her to fall because we usually leave her alone in the bed.

When she calmed down after crying so hard, we ask her if she's feeling something painful in her body. She said none. We presume that she's just okay. But I really felt guilty. I should have taken my afternoon snacks in our room!

Done with Painting and Transfer

Finally, we are done with painting the house and we have transferred all our things. We hired a "lipat bahay" truck to transport our things and I actually felt it was a little pricey. We paid p1950.00 and we had only few things because grandpa already brought some of our smaller things. The only big ones are the living room set and the refrigerator. But we don't have anymore time to canvass and choose a lesser price for transport services. We need to vacate our house the soonest because the renters wanted to transfer already before the start of classes today. They are teachers in a primary school located in our neighborhood.

I'm glad that finally we are already settled and all we have to do is monitor the house from time to time. Need to go to bed early because I have cough and colds. I need to recover from the many times we had an overtime doing things in our house after we got out from work. Goodnight friends:).

WW-Keona in Bed Sorrounded with Friends

Keona surrounded with her friends. She'll make them sing with her favorite nursery songs and hubby does it for her:).

Our camera crushed!

Hubby took a number of photos during Troy's wedding ceremony at St. Joseph church and at Davao Insular hotel, the wedding's reception. We were very excited to see the photos when we get home at quarter to eight last night. Hubby was about to transfer the photos to the PC when he found out that he can't view it! When he turned on the camera, an error appeared regarding the lens. Whew! We were really disgusted! I asked hubby about what is the possible cause of it and if there are possible ways for him to get it fixed. He searched for the manual and I accidentally bumped him our room door because I was hurriedly removing my contact lenses for it was getting dry and I was really not comfortable of it and tension raged. We did not talk with each other for a while.

He watch TV in the living room and I fixed myself, removed my make up then put Keona to bed. Two or 3 hours have passed and yet Keona did not sleep. She was still in a "playing mood" and in high spirit. And suddenly she shouted loudly calling "Pappa" several times which prompted hubby to get inside the room and get her out. They stayed in the living room seeing and singing her nursery rhymes on DVD. When finally lil girl's enthusiasm wears out and she becomes really sleepy, she called me up. Hubby had no choice but to give Keona to me who doesn't sleep without being breastfeed. This time, he is already calm and me too. I was already sleepy and then the topic regarding the camera is now brought up again. He told me that we should get it fixed because I need it for my blogs and of course for our souvenirs. I retorted to him saying I'm not the only one who needs it. He needs it too. I told him, what about his world-less Wednesday on his All About Keona. He smiled and readily agreed that we both need it. He volunteered to look for a service center for Canon camera. I said if the repair is more than Two Thousand Pesos, we better buy a new one. Hopefully, the cam will be repaired and we'll have the photos of Troy's wedding! Can't wait to see it:)

HPS#3 - Working date with hubby

It's a beautiful Sunday. Hubby and me have long planned in going to our own house in Mintal to do some cleaning. With Keona's surgical operation, firing and hiring of babysitter and juggling work, we have not visited there for a long time now. There's a thick cloud in the sky outside which is a hint of a coming rain but Mom said it's gonna be in the late afternoon. We don't go there if there's a rain because we do weeding out of grass outside. Then hubby remembered that it's Manny Pacquiao's boxing fight and he had second thoughts of going to Mintal. But Mom said we can still see it because we have TV there anyways. Though it's a little delayed for it's not pay-per -view. So we push through with our plan of going to our house. We arrived there at around 11:00 o'clock in the morning. We just ordered beef soup and rice at Garrido's for our lunch.

There's a piece of paper at the fence and when I look at it, it's a water bill. Not that big because nobody lives in there so I won't pay it yet. I miss our house. It was not as dirty and as grassy as I have expected because there's not much rain for the past months. But a little more dusty inside and I notice a lot of cobwebs. I started pulling off the grasses in front, while hubby worked on the left side. When I was about half finished of the area, the rain poured down so we had to stop. While working outside the house, we were monitoring the boxing fights. We continued our work when the rain stopped and while the under cards are the ones playing. When the main event started, we stopped doing our work which was almost finished by that time and we were glued on the TV until it was finished. Nice fight. We went back home at around 5:00 in the afternoon to catch up Keona's antibiotic schedule which was 6:30 in the evening.
