I’m broke. Che2x has to go to school yesterday with only PhP15. Just enough for her fare to school from home. From my previous earnings I have paid for her school fees, and my smartbro bill. Nothing’s left with me. I am expecting to withdraw my earnings Wednesday next week and I don’t know where I should get for Che2x’s daily expenses to school until next week. I don’t wanna ask Ace for her allowance because we have agreed about it before though I borrow from him at times and pay him when I receive my earnings. Yesterday, Ace left PhP100 in case I wanted to buy something. I saved it for Che2x’s allowance today. For tomorrow, I don’t know where to get it or I could just borrow from Ace maybe. This same situation is what we have gone through when I was in school. There are times when Mamang has to borrow money for our allowance. Now I don’t know what happened to the pension Daddy receives that was supposed to be for Che2x’s daily allowance. The last time Daddy texted me about it, he said he wanted to use the money to build a hut where he could stay in the farm. What we have agreed before the school year started is that he will not send money for a few months because he will use it to buy seedlings to be planted in the farm. When I asked him for any update about the seedlings, he said the money is not enough. Whatever! I just hope the money is being spent for its purpose because it is Mamang’s money afterall. 

After getting colds yesterday, I am now suffering from fever. Ace seemed so worried because I don’t have company here and he cannot go home during lunch time because he needs to finish something needed for tomorrow’s inventory. I am quite okey though except from the headache, muscle pains, and colds. I wanted to lie down but I seemed to be more sicker lying down the whole day. Hence, I tried getting up and to do some blogging. It might help but I’m sure my eyes would be strained in a while. Hence, I’ll make this short because I can’t stay long in front of the PC.

Guess I acquired my colds from the drizzle last Sunday and Monday nights. My immune system is stronger than Ace but the weather really hit me on this. Ace has colds that started Sunday but he’s more ok than me. Maybe one of the pressure points was touched during the foot massage that triggered my body to react. But for sure, after this I’ll be more ok.

I have mentioned about our relatives that arrived from our hometown to celebrate the thansksgiving of our cousin’s house in my weekend snapshot post but wasn’t able to talk more about it. Anyhow, our church minister and his wife were shocked to see our number and we jokingly said to them, “that’s only 1/8 of the total number of our family.” My cousins are happy to see that I have gained weight and said I’d be like them if I don’t control my diet. Most of my female cousins have grown so big after they have given birth to the extent that one of them even resorted to diet pills. The diet pills seemed to be ineffective because she didn’t lost weight. Now she’s in search for the the most effective diet pills in the market. So ironic that after my cousins eat a lot they would then think of losing weight by taking in diet pills.

Che2x reminded me of her exam schedule. This means, time to pay for her tuition again. We’ve been paying her tuition fee every examination time and it’s twice a month! This has been my dilemma since last year. How I wish God will pour out money from the heaven and I just have to pick it up from the ground. Though I am planning not to withdraw my earnings from paypal, I was forced to as I don’t know when OHJ will release our earnings for the previous quencina. My OHJ earnings is lesser than the previous months because I didn’t spend so much time coding last month. Her exam sked is today and tomorrow so she need to pay today so she can take the exam. My paypal earnings will reflect in my EON account Wednesday night the latest so I need to find other means to secure money for Che2x’s tuition fee.

I was hopeful that OHJ will send earnings so I can pay for Che2x’s school fees. Truly, He answered my prayer because when I checked on my EON account yesterday, OHJ earnings was reflected. It was just enough for Che2x’s need but at least, I am saved from getting a headache of looking where I could get money. Hence, she can take her exams today and tomorrow without any hassle.

A cousin and his family had a thanksgiving for their new house yesterday. Many relatives arrived from our hometown and seems we are having another family reunion. We had a feast after a short thanksgiving service. This house is one of the many blessings we should be thankful for.

Ella saw eyeglasses in a Korean RTW store near our church building and asked Carol to buy it as she said she is cute wearing it. After the worship service, Manang Inday and Manong Joey (which she fondly calls Mommy Day and Daddy Jo) treated us to a buffet lunch. Since we are all 10 (including Ella) we took a jeepney because if we’ll take a taxi, we need 2 or 3 taxis. While on the jeepney, she noticed me and Ace on our sunglasses and she immediately said “Mommy saan yung shades ko?” (Mommy, where’s my shades?). She was referring to the clear glasses with black frame she bought earlier. She was so cute with the glasses and she wore it the whole time. Here’s how she looks with her glasses…taken at People’s Park
