Transport Strike

Today, we don't report for work because there's a transport strike going on.  Public utility vehicles are on protests of the increase of pumping price of gasoline.  They want it rolled back.

"We don't take chances reporting for work when we are not sure of the transportation.  So we just stay home and I do some household  chores since the house help goes to their province.  Have a nice day friends.

Spicy Soup

I really miss this spicy soup.  Me and hubby are gonna have our lunch date today so we'll look for something spicy to satisfy my cravings:)

Getting an Award and a Family Lunch Date

I got a plaque of appreciation from my company this morning for rendering 10 years of service now.  I got also a little monetary funds as an appreciation to my valuable service to the company I have worked for.  I  brought with me Keona and hubby during the ceremony then we went to the mall for a lunch.  

Keona's choice for restaurant is Chowking so it's there that we had our lunch.  I had fish fillet lauriat while hubby had a chicken lauriat.  Keona had her fave beef wanton noodles soup.  After eating, Keona had a blast at the kid's play area riding anything she wants.  

Have a great weekend friends:).

Weekend Stroll in the Mall

 Little girl having fun on the strollers.  She played on the display:)

 Then she rode anything that interest her

Making Demands

As Keona gets older and develop a taste of her fave foods, she now know how to make demands or shall I say requests.  She would make plans on her own telling me that we'll go to this and that:).  Her all-time favorite are Jollibbee, McDonalds and Chowking.  She loves the choco sundae at Jollibee, the hamburger and French fries at Mcdonalds, and the wanton noodle soup at Chowking.  So whenever we are out, we have to prepare a budget for all these things:).

Hubby is having an Allergy

When we had a check-up yesterday with hubby's eyes, it was found out that he's not having sore eyes but an allergy.  There's a component of the medicine he took yesterday that made his eyes red, itchy and bulging. So he'll just take antihistamine tablet.

My OB-gyne's clinic is located in the same hospital and when I saw my doctor, she made a big smile, I just said Hi and Hello and told her I will have a pap smear next time. But she said we'll do the test and I just agreed.  Anyways, I have long been planning to undergo such test. The result will be on Friday. So, I'll just wait for it.

Check up for Hubby's eyes

My hubby's eyes has been itchy and its red.  So we are gonna go to an E-N-T doctor to have it checked.  We don't know if it's sore eyes or just an allergic reaction to a medicine he took for muscle pain because he's having a stiff neck.  Hope everything will just be okay.

How's my Child's Development?

Today I try to visit my account on babycenter to know how my little girl is growing.  I registered an account on babycenter when I was only few weeks pregnant to keep track of my baby's development inside my womb.

What the babycenter tells about my baby's development at her age now is indeed true.  Here it is...

"Your child is more in control of her movements. Now she can play with small objects easily and stack (not just knock over) towers of blocks. She can also concentrate for slightly longer periods of time, as much as 20 minutes if she's deeply engaged. Sometimes she'll become so absorbed in playing that she'll resent your interruption. You can make transitions easier by warning her in advance, as in, "You can play with the blocks for five more minutes, but then it's dinnertime." If you have a flexible schedule, you may want to give her a few warnings before you insist that she finish up her play."

Have a great start of the week friends:)

Happy Weekend

It's weekend once again. Me and hubby are scheduled to go to our rented house and collect the rental fee. I'm also planning to clean our room and de-clutter our closet. It's been a while since I have made a general cleaning of our closet because when I don't have work I usually spend my time playing with Keona.

Have a great weekend friends:)

Playing and Running

That's what Keona keeps on doing when we are at home. She's so full of energy that she keeps on running a lot. Whenever we are at home, we have to play with her as well because she wants us to.

Play is very important especially with her age now. Through play, she'll learn a lot of things. I have read also in a newspaper article that playing increases a child's IQ.

No Work Again

There's no official memo yet but a personnel from the Human Resource Department mentioned there's no work this coming Wednesday in connection with the local celebration in our place. I'm very happy because this can be a time for me to bring Keona to her surgeon for a check-up.

I still have to call Dr. Aquino's clicnic if he's available by Wednesday. It's been a long time already that we have not strolled out with Keona so we might also bring her to play area in the mall.

Learning to Read

The other night, while me and hubby were busy chit-chatting, Keona was also busy scanning her books and learning to identify letters in the alphabet. I get amused when I see her doing this.

She looks really serious.LOLz

Grocery Time

I have checked all things that Keona needed yesterday. Since it's a weekend, we are scheduled to buy things. I am gonna buy her milk though she still have 1 can stored in our cupboard. I always make a reserve so that I will have no problem in times that her milk is unavailable in stores.

I'm thinking also of bringing her to her surgeon's clinic next week. for a routine check-up. If I'll get the time, that is, because we will be very busy at work next week.

Proudmom is already 10 years at Work

Whew! I can't believe how time flies really fast. I got a letter today from the President's office telling me that I'm turning ten years in service by end of March with the company I presently work. They ask me to join a ceremony by the end of March so I'm gonna prepare for it.

The letter made me nostalgic of who I am 10 years back. LOLz. I was very idealistic, carefree and my line of thinking was different than today. hehehe. I mean, I have no concerns before. All I think was myself, gimmicks, escapades, friends and my family. But now, my top priority is my family. Every decision I make, my family takes first into consideration.

Have a great day 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.

Ash Wednesday

We are off to a holy mass today since it's Ash Wednesday. I have seen people with ashes placed on their forehead and I remember it's Ash Wednesday. I have also seen students clad in their white gala uniform going to the mass.

Ash Wednesday signals the start of the Lenten season. Have a nice day friends.

Not in the Mood

Perhaps this is one of my Monday blues. I don't feel very enthusiastic going to work today. I feel I still need a rest but it's a time of the year that we are very busy at work.

Blame it to the hormones.LOLz. I just have my monthly period and it makes me really lazy. I just wanna stay home and laze around:). Anyways, here's wishing you a great start of the week friends:).

Great Weekend

Getting ready for a family Sunday escapade...

Looking for Helper

Mom-in-law called me up in the office and told me to ask help from my Mom in the province to look for a house help. One of the house helps ask permission from her that she'll be going back home in their province and harvest rice in the fields. We can't ado anything because it's her decision to go home, so now, we are looking for a replacement.

I hope we can right away find a new one. Have a nice weekend friends.
