This has been a slow forum for quite sometime..so I thought this must be the best time to whine ...with very less people reading or say peeping? I'm kinda shy and I'm not that confident with the output of my writing...but what the heck! I'm just whining...who would have think of perfections with that state of mind!!!...well guys....you have to bear with me.....I'm as imperfect as anybody else.... but I'll stand corrected.  Be gentle though, I'm quite sensitive and emotional....I must admit I love to whack when whacked-out.  Kidding folks. 
May you all have fun as much as I'm trying so hard to generate some fun.....
God bless everyone, may God be with you in every endeavors you all taking.

Before going any further...let me tell you a bit of myself....I'm a mother of three children, my son Carlos is 8 years old, my daughter Andrea is 4 and my youngest Luigi, he is 8 months old. I have one husband named Greg. I'm lucky to have him you know...as of this writing that is...i can't speak of about what tomorrow entails but I'm wishing and praying we can live through --- that is--- hope we can stand the test of time.
I'm  , right I'm sleepy. My son Luigi is sick, he has asthma. We had nebulized him every four hours starts at 10 p.m. last night. We don't have nebulizer but a good friend of mine were so nice to offer her nebulizer to us. I think Luigi is prone to allergy. Carlos and Andrea were not like that before or we would have purchase a nebulizer for emergency use. We just don't know when ashtma attacks and from what I've heard from others...it usually attacks at night. This morning he's fine yet we can still see from his breathing that the asthma still there. Still, we went to work. I have a reliable sister who will look after him together with our house help. Complete with instructions and a bit of worries..we left for work. I left with them something when things come to worst...anyway..I'm just about 10 minutes away from home....I can be home as fast as I can...but I'm hoping we will not come to that. I called home an hour after I arrived office...from what my sister told me he's fine already....I pray to God hoping that he's into recovery now. I brought him to the doctor yesterday...so I don't think there's a need to bring him now....we should wait when the medicines do its wonders ---the healing process that is...
Carlos and Andrea proceed to school...they don't have classes...it's the opening day of their school affair ~~"Foundation Day"~~..they only have parade today....but the weather is not that good this morning ...there were light rain showers....well..the ball is still rolling....who knows Mr. Sunshine will come out when they're just about to start the parade.
Okay...that's all for now....I'm falling asleep with my own writing...  
God bless everyone

Life is beautiful to live with.....regardless!
It's a Friday here and tomorrow is no working day ..YEHEY!! ....our company came up with new scheme. We supposed to have a half day work every Saturday except when it falls on a holiday. When the year started, the new scheme has been applied. It will be an alternate whole day working Saturday. Tomorrow is no work but on the next Saturday, we gonna have a whole day work. hmmm......I don't know which is better though....they said it's a part of cost cutting scheme. Well, I hope they are right....
Luigi is getting better...thanks God! We had a good sleep last night. There's an on-going silent war with my two household helpers. Opps, I'm not rich...very far from it ....it's just a need to have two since my husband and I are both working. One will take charge in sending my two pupils to school and the other one will be left at home to take care of Luigi. I hired the second one around August of last year..Luigi was about 3 months then. It's not easy to find a good house help these days but I'm blessed to have good ones till my old house help got insecure and jealous. She's 4o something and the other is 18. To make the story short....Rose (the old one) refused to cooperate in taking care of Luigi and she's moody as hell. Ann (the young one) is a bit sensitive and used to friendly surroundings.... till one day..she got fed up of Rose behavior. She asked my permission to leave.........I did not actually said yes or no...I want them to reconcile and hopefully patch things up. I called both their attention and there...they've exchanged words that lead to heated argument. I asked them, will you ever reconcile? Ann answered, "maybe not anymore 'te" (short of Ate). I asked Rose, can you not act like an older sister and help Ann with things and Luigi? She....just....walked out on me and not say a single word. So that's it....I think I'll lose both of them soon. It's a one for all and all for one case for me...if Ann will go then Rose will go too. I'm not gonna retain one to avoid the same problem in the future. I have to take risk of hiring new ....and I hope I can find one soon. I like them both, I'm willing to recommend them to some of my good friends who are in need of a household help too...that is if they like the idea. But then, I hope I can keep Ann...she's good with kids...she doesn't have a big head...Rose is and full of pride. She's with us for about 5 years now...but in a way..I'm a little fed up too. She has this attitude of "I know all". I don't know what made her changed...she wasn't like this few years back....perhaps... I'm at fault too....I tolerated her.
sigh...and more ....sigh............sigh ..........sigh
Have a glorious day everyone....regardless!

DILEMMA[b]
I can't entrust my children to Rose anymore, my household help. Out of the blue, her mood changed. She's smiling at everyone in the house.....trying to regain back the friendship with An-an. Here is An-an who got no mean bone in her body....befriended her again without question, but I have. I'm not convinced. Or I may be a little too hard but I have reasons to. If she's angry with anyone, she should not neglect her duties...instead she had neglected Luigi...and put my son on An-an's care for straight four days. I can't imagine An-an..... a bit too young to carry the loads...but she's good....probably God guided her because she's a good girl...no...not probably...God was and is with her. Rose is not honest with me too. She'll not tell me if something bad happen to my son...like when she cut Luigi's nail and a bit of his skin was cut too...when Luigi fell on the floor and she told An-an not to tell me. I got these information out from their heated arguments in front of me. I was shocked...but I did not say a word.. I have to think..... These are serious cases. I have all the reasons to fire her but .............i have no guts to say so. All I'm waiting is for An-an to give up...which I hope not. Rose can stay as long as An-an is there. I think I'm insane.
My mom confronted me about An-an about something...which was not good. Rose brainwashed her. My cousin said so after she heard the whole conversation and so was my sister. They don't like it one bit. I told my mother that we won't fight about them....it's not worth it. It's my house and my decision will be followed no matter what.
While I was recalling back the words that had been said....it came to my senses ..that things are getting worst. I don't think I'll ever allow her to ruin the friendship I have with my Mom. I have to let her go before things get out of hand. 
I will ask the Lord's guidance that hopefully I can do it rightly and gently. I don't want to hurt her.
 I'm blabbing.....geeze.....that's what I'm good at....blabbing with my mind....I don't know when I can put it in real.
[b]God bless you all and have a beautiful day.

I want to buy BRAVERY, COURAGE and GUT!!Don't know where..ohhh I know where....in God's prayer department store.
I have very little of it ...not enough to sustain a minor fight. Yeah, I fought perverts in the room....but not for long....it's kinda too draining for me. I think I'm not born to fight.
It's something that I can't do alone....I think I'll have my husband join the fun....yeah...why I haven't thought of that. He was just quiet and supports my decision and listens to my whining. He'll come to my rescue anytime. Yeah, I'll do that.
Enough of that messy stuffs....let's try some good stuffs... 
Luigi is on his way to his full recovery...PRAISE GOD! Carlos and Andrea are in school today and well, I hope Carlos will behave. Carlos, I would say is a clown type...he loves to be in the group and loves to make them laugh. He got wit alright...but often gives teacher a headache. Who wants a noisy classroom Andrea, on the other hand, is a well-behaved child in school. She don't talk much in school but at home....it's her voice you'll be hearing non-stop. Well, at least, she knows when to behave... One thing I've noticed she's good in reasoning too and giving out solutions to what she thinks is a problem.
I still have to find out what Luigi's strengths soon....I'll be more observant....but one thing I've noticed...he's a Papa's boy. He laughs to his Papa every time he sees him .....he must have a funny face...  but he must feel he's Papa is handsome too or else he'll stop staring at his face the face was clean..I've checked. 
It's good to praise the Lord all the time and thank Him always.
HAVE A BLESSED DAY EVERYONE

It cannot be help that in an office, it's just impossible to get along with everybody. In our office, it's a 500 sq meter plus area, kind of huge for 10 employees but then since this is an extension office located at the heart of the city, the bosses agreed on having two conference rooms, four sleeping rooms for drivers or anybody from plant site who wants some rest after the travel. By the way, the plant site is about one hour and half drive from the city office. Actually, our sister company rented the space and I'm merely an office tenant. There are three (3) companies in this office. However, regardless of our number we still can't get along. Common scenario in an office I supposed.
Yesterday, my boss arrived from a trip and invited us all to lunch. It was a sumptuous lunch in a very fine restaurant I must say. A Filipino cuisine as we all preferred it to be. Amazingly, the price is very reasonable. It's a newly open Cuisine, very elegant and so anyone who wishes to travel to Cebu and likes to try Filipino dishes and a blend of Spanish dishes as well, you all can look for Pino Filipino Cuisine. It's all worth the money paid. My boss was very satisfied, more than satisfied in fact.
If we hadn't made the reservation and hadn't looked at their menu prices prior to going there, I might lose my appetite to eat. I’m afraid that we might have chosen a more classy restaurant, kind of expensive for us, or I’m afraid that we might go beyond the budget....afraid that my boss will get the impression that we took advantage of the opportunity of giving the will to chose. Knowing that I personally suggested the place, (I saw it in ads) afraid that I’ll be the recipient of rolling eyes made me a bit nervous because the moment we enter.... all we saw were the elegant place, splendid arrangement that the next thing will come to your mind...is..."this must be a dollar place". Blessedly, it was not.
We were all smiles as we depart the place.
Happy day everyone!

The weekend was too short for me, we only had Sunday as our rest day. We attended Mass in the morning and there was a religious event that we must attend to in the afternoon...so we attended. There was not much time to spend with the kids...sigh....
I think I got a flu. The hot weather takes its toll. I don't worry much of myself...I worry for Luigi who is so prone to virus infection. The last time he got infected by virus, he ended up in hospital. That was last month. It's so painful to see any of my children get sick. I cried bucket when he was injected three times in a span of 10 minutes. First, on his left foot for the intravenous but didn't get lucky, it was error. He was a little chubby by then, so it's rather hard to find the vein. After so much crying, a vein on his right hand showed, luckily..it went right this time. The third one was for his antibiotics...they had to inject it on his skin to check if he's allergic to it or not. It was my first time seeing my child get hospitalized.....It was not easy, it was painful. I keep on praying to God hoping it will not happen again ....but then ...not my will be done but His. I'm praying for additional strength then for whatever trials come our way. I hope I won't be infecting anyone at home with this virus. Hmmm...can I infect anyone here.. instead of home
I take lots of fluid and take medicines on time l...hoping this will cure fast.
I hope you guys have the best of health..I'm wishing you all the best of health.
God bless everyone!

Today, the Roman Catholic celebrated Ash Wednesday. Devout Catholics will go to church today to receive the ashes and even the not so devoted. Today is a day of fasting and abstinence . Every Friday from here on, we have to abstain from eating meat. As one of the priests clarified it, it's not a sin if you missed to fast and abstain...it's all about how you commit yourself to your religious obligations and duties. I browsed about Ash Wednesday today and I came across this Ash Wednesday prayer and thought it best to share this to you.
A Prayer for Ash Wednesday
Blessed are You, O Lord our God, the all Holy one, who gives us life and all things. As we go about our lives, the press of our duties and activities often leads us to forget Your presence and Your love. We fall into sins and fail to live out the responsibilities that you have entrusted to those who were baptized into Your Son.
In this holy season, help us to turn our minds and hearts back to You. Lead us into sincere repentance and renew our lives with Your grace. Help us to remember that we are sinners, but even more, help us to remember Your loving mercy.
As we live through this Ash Wednesday, may the crosses of ashes that mark our foreheads be a reminder to us and to those we meet that we belong to Your Son. May our worship and prayer and penitence this day be sustained throughout these 40 days of Lent. Bring us refreshed and renewed to the celebration of Christ's resurrection at Easter.
We ask this through Your Son, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen.
The priest put the ashes in our foreheads in a cross sign and utter these words "from dust you came from, to the dust you shall return"

The flu continues...I don't think this will leave in a day or two. Much to my diligence in taking medicines, still I can't feel any signs that it gets better. I can't cuddle my kids  ...afraid they'll get infected. What a torture that is.
I continue working too because I don't see the need to file sick leave. I'll get sick more if I'll stay home lying all day. On second thought, it's better to infect my officemates rather than my children. hahaha..mean of me. Anyway, I don't think so though...they're as strong as ox.
Anyway, I hope you all have a good health....God bless!

Feb. 9....My Mom's Birthday
My Mom is 72 years old now blessed with good health too. She had undergone two surgeries already, one for goiter and the other one was tumor in the intestine but that was long time ago..if my guess was right..I was then in my elementary years but now my son is an elementary pupil already. See how time flies...and Praise God for the blessings.
I have a wonderful Mom but believe me she can be tough and mean too. Well, we all are.
In your 72nd birthday Ma, my prayers mostly focused on continued blessings of good health, both you and Papa, thank you for bringing us into this world and for providing us the things we need, for supporting us emotionally, physically, spiritually and financially. Life was hard for us but you managed so well...Thank you Ma, you're the best.
"I LOVE YOU".
Much as I'd like to enjoy the celebration, it was a family affair, but I'm a bit much disappointed because I was still not feeling well by then even now. But I wasn't the star of the day, it was my Mom...so it was just fine even if my mood was at the lowest. It was a happy occasion for my Mom and that was all that matters.
Ohh I got my hair done yesterday to hopefully alleviate my lousy feeling. Nothing much though but trimming and re-styling from plain straight to boring layered.. hehehe..! I was under stress lately and as an effect I had falling hair. My hair was kinda long so I had it trimmed...I'm satisfied and I like that gay hairstylist. There was this newly open Hollywood Spa and Salon near my place...I was eager to try it...with the hope that once I got in...I had this notion that I'll get out with a Hollywood feeling already. Must be the effect of those medicines I took for a week...hehehe....bear with me guys....just trying to lighten up....
Hope you all had a great weekend and do enjoy the weekdays coming. God bless you all.
