So this is our new weekend habit. We go to the clubhouse pool to relax. It's so much fun and pretty cheap too. One of the perks of transferring to our new place is that there is a swimming pool. B and K I think are the happiest about this.

my Mom's sari sari store

This is my Mom's small sari sari store located at the garage of our house. This is where we get the extra income that we need to make sure everything will be okay for K and B.

Financially, we are not doing well but aside from that, we are good. I realized that I would rather have problems financially but have peace of mind. Its much better than having money but no happines. Of course if we can have both, that would be much better.

What do you think of her store?

bonding with B

Last week was bonding with B time. K decided that she wanted to be the storyteller to B after we were done with writing and spelling exercises (yep! he's smart) and she read The Poky Little Puppy to B. He seems to like it and was pretty relaxed all throughout as you can see on the first picture.

Before that, he decided to pose ala Michael Jackson. Look at the second pic and you will see the similarity. It's his tribute to the King of Pop. RIP Michael.

Lastly, MommyLou and K went with B on the village pool and had a grand time. I was not able to join them because I had my period but B was just really happy to be in the water again.

I'm glad I was able to capture all of these moments on film.

UPDATE: Farmtown

I am happy. My farm has expanded immensely; thanks to J who has been tireless in making sure that it is taken cared of when I am at home. It used to be really small and simple, now its big and simple. Lol. I envy the other farms I see who have this really nice design and houses. I am just not that creative. It still is kinda cute, my farm I mean.

anger management

I need to learn how to manage my anger. Today, I woke up to the sound of B screaming his lungs off. To say that it was a rude awakening would be a major understatement.

It was a very bad way to wake up, especially as I had only 4 hours of sleep and was still dead tired. I was very mad; so mad that I literally wanted to hurt B. I wanted to make him cry and cry and cry and be sorry that he made so much noise it woke me up.

It was so wrong. =(

After a few minutes, I stood up knowing that I won't be falling asleep again no matter how much I wanted to. I approached B and did make him cry by shouting at him and spanking him a little bit.

It was really wrong. =(

My Mom spoke to me afterwards to reprimand me. She said that I am not handling the situation right. She told me to not do what I did and to not say the things that I said because B is smart and would remember the hurtful things I said.

I am such a bad Mom. =(

Weekend Reflection # 42

The weekend that past was actually very relaxing. Saturday was spent at the clubhouse pool with B and my lil sis. We swam for 2 hours. B is making such a huge progress. From being a scaredy cat to one who jumps on 5 feet water.

Afterwards, we went to ATC (a mall) and had dinner there. It was very relaxing and lots of fun coz we bonded as a family.

Sunday was spent playing scrabble and other games. We also got some potted plants and fixed our small garden.

I love weekends like this. The only person missing was J but soon, it will be complete.

How was your weekend?


Oh, and this is my Care Bear Collection. Pretty cute huh? =)

I love cuddling!

On facebook, there's a fan page for cuddling. I, of course, made sure that I was listed as a fan. There is much to be said about the healing powers of cuddling. It relaxes me so much when I cuddle with someone I love and care for. There's something more to be said about sleeping in the arms of someone you love. When you're wrapped around his arms, and you fall asleep while staring at his face ... it truly is one of the most wonderful feeling in the world.

Some people I know do not like cuddling, hugging, or even being touched. I feel sad for them; to not have this kind of connection or intimacy is just sad IMO. I'm glad I like being hugged, touched, and cuddled by people that I love. It really is very soothing and reassuring.

H1N1 Information

I just found this site about the H1N1 virus through another blog and thought that since this flu is worlwide, everyone can benefit from reading it.

Weekend Reflection # 41

The week passed by in a blur. The weekend, at least, was full of precious moments. I was able to spend time with J's friends and got to know them a wee bit better. I was able to spend time with someone I love and just bask in the love. I was able to spend time with my family as well. We went swimming at the clubhouse and though the clubhouse pool was simple and could use a little bit renovating, it was pretty nice actually. The water was clean and generally, the entire area was clean. I might even start swimming there everyday to lose some much needed fat.

B had a good time. At first, he was dead scared to wade in but after an hour or so, he was jumping into the adult pool. Good thing Nanny A was there to catch him.

All in all, the weekend was a bit relaxing though a tad bit short. Lol.

my facebook addiciton

This is my restaurant in Facebook. Cute right?
This is my tiny farm in Facebook. I need to make it bigger.

I am also addicted to Mafia Wars but the two Facebook applications are the ones that I heart most. Do you have facebook? Are you addicted to any of the games?
