Weekend's over...

The weekend just zipped by, it seems, but we had a lot of mini activities done.  Last Friday was the special mass for the death anniversary of my hubby's father.  After which, we were invited to an al fresco buffet dinner hosted by my generous BIL, T, at the poolside of the club.  The lovely dinner under the stars with my in-laws was the highlight of my day.  We all live for family moments like this, don't we?  Oh, the food was great too and worthy of mention...  No wonder there were a lot of member families that night.  

Saturday was the report card distribution at our youngest son's school.  After last quarter's failed Math periodical test that gave him an 81 grade in the card and cost him a slot in the honors list, our boy redeemed himself this time.   He got a third honor certificate for 2nd quarter, became the 8th in his section (38 students in his class) and the only boy on the roll.  Yay!  

Sunday morning was general cleaning time as we already heard anticipated mass the day prior.  By lunch, we were at my mother-in-law's place for potluck lunch.

Save for the headache over Globe's iPhone 6 lemon handset, the plan 1799 brouhaha and SIM activation issues where I spent hours on 211,  I say we still had a lovely weekend.   :)

Angels Are All Around Us

by Junnie Metro Manila is still wet. Some parts are still with knee-deep waters. One thing we have going for us is that we have strong faith that this too shall pass, and that the Filipino will rise above. It is October already and it seemed that no one noticed that we arrived Manila last Monday at the heels of the weekend Typhoon Ondoy visited the country. This week we celebrated the feast of the Archangels - Raphael, Michael and Gabriel, and last Thursday, we celebrated the feast of our Guardian Angels. What a whole week of heroic deeds from Pinoys helping their kababayans, and for all the angels in our lives. :)

School and a Mixed Bag of Emotions

"You can’t imagine your life with kids, until you have them, then you can’t imagine your life without them." ~Author Unknown It's been a week since two of our three sons flew to Manila to attend their classes. Even with the (remaining) 9 year old son at home, doing his usual stuff alternately watching tv, tinkering with his Legos, cutting/ folding/ creating things with paper and playing with the iPad, and making a ruckus all by his lonesome, the house is, weirdly, quiet. I often find myself introspecting... about the nest almost empty now and other similar thoughts. And I struggle to stop myself from wallowing in a mixed bag of emotions. It's not a bad thing, except, I could waste hours doing that. I thought I was totally in control and could dismiss the situation as another milestone, like seeing your child lose his first baby tooth. Nothing a warm hug or an ice cream could not fix. On the contrary, that hug at this time just exacerbates the yearning. It

by Linnor When the boys are home, their room doesn't stay as orderly as the pic above.  Mistulang binagyo kapag silang lahat ay nasa loob ng kanilang asul na kwarto. :) Merong nag-gigitara, merong nagko-kompyuter at merong naglalaro ng Lego.  Sa madaling sabi, pag nasa silid sila, talagang di maiiwasan ang pagiging makalat nito.  :P Anyway, at least nasa bahay lang sila at hindi nagbabarkada sa labas. Pero sa totoo lang, after a long day at work or from school, it's always nice to come home to a clean house.  Ang sarap magpahinga sa maayos na kabahayan pagkatapos ng mahabang araw  di ba?
