Keeping In Touch

I’ve always wanted to buy a laptop for myself but never got the chance to have one. Soon, hubby is leaving and the only cheapest means of communication that we could have is through chatting. I heard that in the place where he’s going, laptop ranges from $700 above, good deal eh?

That’s why I told him to get one as soon as he gets there and I will take the desktop home with me. If I get lucky, then maybe I’ll get my own laptop too! When? That I do not know yet hahaha!

If I knew that he’ll be going by the end of next month, I would have taken the one that my colleague was selling before they left Bahrain. It was slightly used but he had to give it up because he needed extra cash before they went to Australia.

Anyway, let’s see if my husband gets a better deal when he reaches there…

Growing Old The Hard Way

Did you ever imagine yourself sitting in the walking frames when you grow old? I never! I always wish and pray that my kids would be there to lend their helping hands whenever I needed one. It scares me to think the what ifs… What if they won’t? What if they hand me over to a nursing home? What if they get irritated if I don’t hear what they say? Ahhhh! It really scares me to grow old the hard way. I hope not! So that I won’t find myself growing old with walking frames alone… I know how it’s like and I know how it feels to be left alone…. I’ve already seen a lot of people in the same situation when their own kids abandoned them when they needed them most.

I’m really thankful that Filipino culture does not tolerate this practice. We keep our parents as much as we could. We don’t just depend on other people doing the things that we are supposed to do.

So That You Won’t Leave Me…

These were the words that my husband said 3 nights ago…

So that you won’t leave me….

Of course, it tickled my heart hihihihi!

How did that conversation go? Hmmmm, I told him what was playing on my mind… Just because some of my friends have come from a broken family, it gave me a thought that married life does not promise anything, that who knows one day, I might find myself in their shoes, or worst it could be me facing the struggles of a broken marriage.

Out of the blue I told him “if in case, the time will come that we don’t agree to anything anymore and decide that we should just part ways, please just give me Deye and I won’t ask anything from you“.

He looked at me, smiled and said “no way!”.

“You can remarry if you want, I promise I won’t object, and if you remarry then you can have another Deye, your carbon copy - just like her, if that’s what you want“, I added.

But he still said “no” and this time he was serious…

I asked him in an irritating voice “why?“

So that you won’t leave me….

Hihihihi! O di ba kilig? ;-)

(Just) The Three Of Us

It’s finally up and active! Our website, that is…. My tagline reads “It doesn’t matter how many, but there has to be someone… Someone who could reciprocate your love...”

But I still have to do some final touches as I am new to this freewebs website builder. I’m still figuring out how to add widgets on the sidebar.

So far here are the pages that I was able to finish:

• Home
• Our Love Story
• Wedding Memories
• Baby’s Corner
• Mementos
• Blogs
• Say It Here

Wait for more!

Home Alone No More

Yup yup yup! They came last night. I reached the airport 30 minutes early. Di ako masyadong excited hahaha! And when the plane finally landed, I got more excited hahaha! Then, I saw my little one sitting on the suitcases while Dada pushes the cart. As soon as she saw me, she happily uttered the word “Mama” with all smiles on her face. I asked her to “hug mama”, she then wrapped her arm around my neck and said “tiss, tiss”. She meant “kiss, kiss”. I was so touched…. When we reached home, I caught her staring at me, as if she was questioning me “where have you been, Mama?

She slept the whole night with her legs kept on my tummy, as usual. I guess, we really missed each other. ;-)

Note : Please don’t mind my photo, just happy that my little girl is back…

Let Me Count The Days

Let me count the ways days… Waaaaaaaaaaah! I’m really feeling lonely at home. My 2Ds are still in India. Some would say that I am over-reacting or exaggerated. But hey! When you’re used to be with them, see them everyday, hear their voices, kiss them good morning and goodbye - it’s really hard to live alone even for just 10 days. I’m just so used to our daily routine and activities.

Last Saturday, I came online to chat with them. As soon as Deye saw me on came, she said Mama, hiiiiii! Believe me I was teary eyed and Derrick noticed that. Knowing him, I thought that he’d tease me, but when I told him I’m missing Deye sooooooo much, he just said “siempre”, that was the exact word that he typed by the way. ;-)

Going back to the subject, they’ll be here on Monday and that is 6 days from now *sigh*.

Please allow me to change the topic, I’d rather show you my fave photo taken during my stay there:

What do you say? Cute eh? :p

On Traveling

Bahrain to Mumbai > This is Deye’s 2nd time to travel by plane. As usual, she’s always okay with it plus the Sky Nannies have been very helpful to us. They even gave us a nice seat-front-by the window and we were lucky to have the baby cot right in front of us. It only took us 3 hours to reach Mumbai, we landed on time at around 4am.

Mumbai to Goa > We traveled by bus. Left Mumbai at 9pm and reach Goa the next day half past 11am. I’d say it’s more comfy to travel by bus as long as you take the sleeper type. Since we got two tickets for this compartment, it’s almost the size of a single bed.

But the thing is we had to wait till it stops in certain places for a break. Then only we can comfort ourselves in the loo. Plus Deye’s system reacted to the long travel by bus, she vomited so badly. Good thing that I kept 3 pairs of extra clothes handy. We had also bought her a magic slate where she can doodle and scribble. At least our clothes and sheets are safe from pen ink. :p

While in Goa

> Derrick rented a bike so that we (just the three of us) could go from one place to another easily. At first I was worried that Deye won’t feel comfortable or she’d get scared. well, I was wrong, she loved it!

> On our last day in Goa, since my in-laws joined us for tour, we decided to rent a car with a driver @ RS1,000 from 11am till 5pm, reasonable enough huh!

Goa to Mumbai > This time we traveled by train - second class-sleeper type. We left Goa at exactly 8:30am and touched base at 9pm. We were not able to get first class-sleeper with AC, everything was fully booked. They advised us that next time it’s always better to get the seats reserved a month before the traveling date. It was also comfy but going to the toilet wasn’t. Or maybe I was just scared hehehe! I didn’t know that everything goes straight to the railway hahaha! It was actually my first time to travel by train this far, that’s why!

 

Home Alone

Back to normal after a week vacation. Landed yesterday morning and decided not to come to work and take some more rest. Tried to get some sleep during the day but couldn’t. Maybe because I am home alone.

My 2Ds will be back on the 8th, that means I’ll be home alone for another 8 days. It feels different. The house is empty. I’m missing them especially Deye. Last night was my first night without her.

Anyway, I may be able to show our photos off tomorrow as I am still uploading them online for easy viewing. But of course I will show you at least one photo - another teaser hahaha!

Dona Paulo - Goa, India

I’ll tell you more about our trip tomorrow… It’s just that I’m still not in the mood to blog about it. I’m missing my little one waaaaaaaah!

That’s all for now!
