Sometimes I wish Ace is home all-the-time. It’s crazy being alone whole day…with just the cat and the dogs to accompany me. It’s been so quiet! Thanks goodness the TV has been repaired (after 2 months of waiting) at least there’s something that could keep me company when I wanted to stay away from the computer. I even came to a point of considering to adopt a baby and Ace is amenable with it. We’re not just lucky because the DSWD adoption help desk in SM isn’t there anymore last weekend. Sometimes I silently pray that somebody will leave a baby in our gate and we will surely accept it.

Anyway, sometimes Ace wishes he’s working from home too. He might be tired of being a corporate slave (oh well, I am still a corporate slave but not in the office setting). I told him to start blogging as his sideline just to have a feel of the online world. Who knows he might find an online job in the long run. Now we’re in the dilemma of thinking for a domain name so he could also start blogging. It’s been weeks since we’re brainstorming for a nice and catchy domain name. I want a domain that speaks of itself, I mean with just the domain name, one would know what the site is all about like www.jointsupplementreviews.net. Hope we could think of a nice name soon before Ace will lost his interest in blogging.

A doctor friend told me (many times) to take folic acid and prenatal vitamins if I want to conceive. Ace also overheard two doctors’ conversation in a hospital one time that women who are trying to conceive should take milk with folic acid – in short, milk for preggy! I started taking folic acid months before. Then after I consumed the 30 tablets that we bought, I didn’t mind buying another bottle. Who would get pregnant when I don’t even exert effort even in taking just one folic acid tablet a day? Oh well, it’s not yet too late. We will try to conceive again and devote 100% of our time and effort to it. Hopefully we will succeed. Lord willing!

What? The weekend is over?! It sure fly like a lightning that I don’t remember having a relaxing day during in 2 days. Saturday morning until mid-afternoon I was working on my pending tasks. Then we went strolling to at the mall late afternoon. Carol, Donald and the kids came for a sleepover so they could attend Sunday worship without the hassle of going down from the mountains under the heat of the sun. What’s remarkable on this day is that Ella was able to sleep with us in our room without her Mommy and Daddy! She’s got no plan of sleeping in our room but she’s just planning to enjoy the coldness of the aircon then transfer to their place at the living room. They camped in the living room because Carol wouldn’t want to sleep in our room afraid that Eman might fall from the bed. Not long after Ella is in bed, she fell asleep. We were waiting for her to wake up as she said she’ll be transferring to the living room but she’s already in deep sleep and when she woke up, it was already morning! Carol and Donald teased her about sleeping in the airconditioned room at the expense of not being able to sleep beside her parents but she replied “tinesting ko lang” (I just tried it).LOL.

Last night PILs came over for a dinner. We missed them during the holidays and new year so we prepared crabs, grilled tuna belly and beef with ampalaya (bitter gourd). Daddy grilled the tuna belly, I cooked the crabs and beef ampalaya while the rest (Carol, Donald, PILS and Ace) are catching up with each other. MIL brought brazo de mercedes from Goldilocks that we shared for dessert. It was indeed a great meal with the FAMILY (only, Borski and Nai are not around)! I can’t recall how many times MIL told me how they missed homecooked meals*flattered*.

After dinner we had short chit chat before Eman became the center of attention. We were talking about vacation (the vacation plan that is not final yet). That reminds me of the south beach miami hotels that I chanced upon earlier. We’re not going to Miami, I just wanna see those beautiful hotels with super nice amenities.

Happy birthday to my sister CAROL!!!!!

We love you!!!! (feeling Ms. Kabacan ka pa rin ha)

My late maternal grandfather (Tatang) used to be a carpenter (aside from being a farmer after the world war) and I remember him when I saw this C-clamp among the numerous kinds of clamps in one industrial supply site. Feels like I am back to my childhood days when, together with my cousins, we used to play with the clamp that’s installed in a platform attached to the wall of my uncle’s house. We put something and start to rotate the handle until the thing in between the clamp is tightly pressed. Then we loosen it again. Tighten…loosen…tighten….loosen. That’s how we used to play with Tatang’s clamp. He also have another improvised clamp he’s using in making one part of a “kariton” (cart) but I can’t recall if it’s used to fix the wheel or whatever part of the cart. It’s only now that I knew that the thing we were playing with years ago is a CLAMP. I learned something today. :-)
