They’re Beach Bound

Apr 21st 2011Family Matters & Home & Me

The children are vacationing with my parents and today, they are beach bound with their cousins. I’m envious, hehe.

Am spending the Holy Week (it’s now Maundy Thursday) with the hubby here at home, in the city that feels empty and quiet, (yey! no noisy neighborhood children playing outside since this morning).

I wish I could go with them. I just spoke to them a while ago and my mom said she’s been peeling green mangoes for them to bring as part of their food stash. Older cousins will be bringing fish to grill. I’d rather man the outdoor fire pit than spend time holed in the house.

Holy Week is really different these days. Back in the day, we just stay at home or stay with my relatives and help prepare for the Catholic rituals that need prepping up like the procession and listening to the old folks sing the Pasyon.

Future Plans

Oct 12th 2010Home

I don’t know the reason why but it seems my children has some sort of “aversion” to office work. I asked my eldest daughter if she wants to work in an office after college and she replied “What will I do there the whole day?” LOL.

There is probably no shortage for entry level management jobs but it seems that young people these days prefer to go out and conquer the world. I see nothing wrong because looking back, I don’t have it in me to be as risky as they are now and would not have taken these career moves.

Having my family with me gives me nothing to think that I missed  something “big” out there.

I Miss Summer

Jun 22nd 2010Family Matters & Me

Now that school has started and I need to, have to, must wake up at 4am (or 4:30am when I have cooked food for packed lunch the night before), I admit to say, I miss summer. Yes, I miss summer with its super scorching days, snotty children from the informal settlers area playing on our front gate and cravings for halo-halo.

We planned to go camping last summer but we weren’t able to do anything like it. We have the necessities to do it, two tents, sleeping bags, eager children with lazy parents. Boo! We were even prepared to go all the way like get a pair of binoculars, portable lamp and camping stove. But nah, nothing came out of the plans.

So now I encourage my children to join the Scouting Movement in school to be able to experience how to be a camper and a Scout at the same time. I think that would be cool.

Summer Shopping List

Mar 8th 2009Money Watch & Thoughts & Urban Living

Sleeveles tops.

Short pants.

Flip-flops.

Swimming gear.

Sun block.

These are just some of the items we need to get to be ready for summer, especially if the plans to have the children go to a vacation down south, these would come in handy for them to enjoy summer days without feeling hot and restricted with their movements.

So yes, I admit, I am forever on the lookout for sale events happening in the nearby malls.

Who knows, I might even get me and my hubby some new gears too, now that we have started to get involved with running and walking together  🙂
