Love that binds them together

They were supposed to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary(25th January) but their relationship didn't last long. Distance and other circumstances got in the way or perhaps theirs are not meant to be a happy ending. Their children are all grown up and have accepted the fact that their parents won't get old together. But the couple have raised their children well,there's no doubt about it. They might not be together anymore as husband and wife but their love for their children and grandchildren bind them together and no matter what they will always be our Itay and Mama. Cheers to both of you!! You might also like: Little people's out-of-town wkend do's and don't Just one of those nights Cars and memories Parenting 101 Howzat

Winnie the Pooh and snoring hubby

Lovely sunny day but we are all here inside the house. Hubby is snoring like....,Karen's into Princess and the frog, the tiny one is running here and there, babbling and sometimes humming along with the Winnie the Pooh musical book. So here I am typing whatever comes to my mind. I really don't want to go out. I have my homework to revise and it's really making me so stress plus the fact that I'm trying to plan our wkend. I am off to verbier this wkend with my eldest and some girlfriends. One of them will ski with her kids and the rest of us will just sip some hot chocolates and let the afternoon pass by. Yeah, it sounds so relaxing and I am really looking forward to that! So back to my homework, did I tell you about my distance course learning? I'm trying to finish my medical secretarial course this year. It looks so easy but time management is not. I want to concentrate and persevere and work hard and all that stuff. Just to be able to finish but I am not doing an

Spring?

It was sunny and the temperature was 8°C. Busy road and crispy surrounding. There were workers cutting the branches off the trees. Boys and girls were on their way to school.A very good day to be out despite the cold weather, but wait.... isn't it too early for this bloom? I don't know if I should be delighted or be worried. Anyway, one thing's for sure--I have to take my antihistamine soon. Hay fever is just around the corner.

A Kulasa and being on (Swiss) time

I cannot remember being "that late" besides I am a Kulasa and being on the dot was instilled in me. Well, there were times that due to unforseen circumstances I would be 5-10 mins late but that was it. So it was during my first two years of living here that I have really learned the importance of Swiss time . That thanks to my Mama. My mother would leave me when I didn't arrive on time. I would be upset and could not fathom the idea of being left like that. So I've learned to be on the dot(again) every time I have to see her. The idea of being late and being left behind stresses me to the max esp. if it is Mama. Now that I have two gals an extra time allowance has to be given so as not to be late. Besides,the buses have their stop and schedule so there are no more excuses. All I have to do is just be on time!

The quest for a flatter stomach

I don't want to have any more excuses coz it's so frustrating to not being able to get into my favorite shirt and look well on it. I have to do it now and be kind to myself. The rice bingeing and junk food galore should be ceased. No more excuse of needing more energy coz of the girls. I can get energy from other food sources, I know that it's just that I haven't been firm on my self.And besides, my youngest is already 1 1/2 years old, she's not breastfeed anymore. This is the time to do it, the bulges are enough to keep me motivated coz I don't want them anymore. Wish me luck,please!!

A love to last

"John it's here", the lady said. The old man,using his walking cane, got up and the old lady took the former's arm. She looked at me smiling and I smiled back. They got in the bus,holding onto each other. This got me thinking but it felt good to see old couple like them, when during these past two days I was confronted with three different realities of a relationship. Seeing them made me wonder about the patience, understanding and love they have given each other. Wait!! I was supposed to write --put up with each other. But if they merely put up with each other would contentment be on the woman's face? The three other stories might not turn out like the old couple's but each woman has also given patience,understanding and love. So when to stay and not give up on love?

A Taste of Home- - - almost!

...with lemon or hot chili pepper and my day is complete. These may not be the pinoy brand but these will do as long as I have the taste of home. Now, if I could just have some rice! You might also like: Today tsk..tsk...tsk...! Sunday and rainbow Let it snow, let it snow--man! Howzat
