I Am All Alone

I am all alone since Tuesday. Hubby together with other pastors have been in Roxas City since Monday. They attended a Pastors & Workers Conference hosted by one of the local churches in Roxas. The conference culminated last Wednesday but they need to stay there until Sunday because some of the pastors with him were invited to preach on some of the churches there. They will be back on Monday.

Since hubby is not around, it will be very hard for me to work with my daughter around. Technically, I can’t do any job when she is around without another person who can look for her. She’s so active and someone should focus her attention on her during her waking hours. My mistake is,  I should have just file a week-long  vacation leave to take care of her. So now I have no choice but to request my much-willing mom to take care of my her.  So last Monday night, I delivered (as if she’s a commodity, lol)  her to her mama grand in Bulacan.

I am planning to take the rest of day off. But my client is not yet around so I can’t ask his permission. I terribly missed my daughter. I missed her hugs and kisses, her mischief and her I yay you mommy (her version of I love you). I also missed her beside me when we sleep.  My daughter would usually demand to be hugged while waiting for her precious sleep. Her fans in the church (lol) were also looking for her last Wednesday. They missed the way she snubbed them Lol.

My daughter does want to talk over the phone. She would only utter few words and immediately give the  phone back to mother.  She is not fond of phone calls unlike other toddlers. This is because we don’t have a land line and she get acquainted with phones quite late. She would rather talk over pc mics on IM calls  than real phones (that includes mobile phones, yay!).

Of course, I also missed hubby! Thanks to Unlimited call feature of Sun, he can call me as often as he can. He calls more than three times a day so it seems that he’s just around minus his presence :D .

I busied myself with household chores after work so I would not think of them. I was able to finish washing our laundry clothes, cleaned the house and last night, I had the chance to work on my daughter’s scrapbook.  I took the free time without them to do the unattended chores.But though I keep myself busy, I still missed them.

In couple of hours, I might be gone to Bulacan to be with my little princess. We might just come back on Sunday morning for church. This means that I won’t be able to face my desktop for at most two days. I will see you guys on Monday. Have a great weekend!

Two Days Paid Day-Off

Yes! You read it right :) Our project group were given two days paid day-off, Thursday and Friday. Our US-based client is so generous to give this rest days with pay. And in case you forgot, Monday is a national holiday. Meaning, I will have a very long weekend. Unfortunately, we can’t afford to have a vacation nowadays. Our budget is so tight. I will be using the day-offs to see an OB for some checkup and also request a schedule for pap smear. I also need to visit the mall to buy my daughter the things that she will be needing on Monday. OH I forgot to mention that my daughter was requested to be part of my churchmate’s wedding entourage as a flower girl. I don’t know yet if I will buy her a new pair of shoes because she might not like it and won’t wear at all! But if ever we have an extra budget, I will bring her to the mall to let her choose the shoes she likes to make sure that the shoes will not just be another display on our shoe rack.

My husband will be throwing-out a dinner to some of his closest Pastors tomorrow night to express his gratitude for their prayers for the result of the LET. Instead of a dinner-out (which is more expensive), he convinced them to have the dinner here at home. As if we can cook well and our house is big! Nyahhaha! Anyways, he decided to serve only the dishes which are very easy to prepare. Among the dishes he listed include kinilaw na tuna with grilled liempo, sinigang na hipon and grilled bangus. One of the pastors requested for fruit salad for dessert. I think the dishes are good enough for four men :) And I hope they will like the food :)

That all for now folks! Need to get some sleep! Just finished my tasks for my full-time job. See you!

October 2009 LET Result

More than a month has passed since my husband took the LET. The result of LET for October 2009 is not yet available. I’ve try to search it over the net this morning but the result is still negative. We are still praying for the result of the board. We are excited to know if my husband make it to the top. The school where my husband graduated promised a free trip to Hong Kong for two for those who will make it to the top. We are praying that we will be the one to claim that promise :D and Lord willing, this will be our first time to visit Hong Kong :D

This is the reason why we are monitoring closely the release of the result of  October 2009 LET.

The Little Boss is Away

Sciezka san before leaving last TuesdayOur Little Boss, who happens to by my daughter, is on her short vacation since last Tuesday. Last Monday, I requested my mom to pick her up the next day. This is an abrupt decision because when I went home last Monday from the office, hubby has colds and cough already. I am afraid that Sciezka will catch the virus from her Dad so we decided that we just send her away for a while in Bulacan. Anyway, she loves to stay there because she has many playmates there. She will be back on Saturday, and hopefully, by that time,  my husband is already well.

A More Beautiful Morning

Every morning, every time I woke up, the first thing I do is to thank God for keeping me safe the whole night and giving me another day to sojourn in this world. I also pray for guidance and wisdom for the entire day so I can accomplish the things that He wants me to accomplish.

But there is one thing that makes my morning more beautiful, it beats the bright sun or the dazzling rain in the morning. It makes my morning complete. It is none other than my daughter’s smile whenever she woke up in the morning. It brings joy whenever I see my daughter smile. She can turn my world upside down by her smile. It is very unusual for my daughter to cry whenever she woke up. Only when she is sick or her sleep is disturbed. Other than those circumstances,I can always expect a smile when she wakes up.
What a wonderful blessing, isn’t? How about you? What makes your morning more beautiful?
