What happened to the general cleaning project? Oh, I haven’t done that much except for kitchen towels that was soaked yesterday. As I was planning to clean before lunch, Ace was home to fetch me for a check-up due to my cough that’s bothering me for centuries now. Since it’s pretty cold outside and I can’t get my neurons to command my muscles to move and clean the house, I went with Ace to downtown for a check-up and some errands. He got a referral slip from their HRD to be presented to the doctor. The company will shoulder a consultation fee of PhP 250.00 ($5.10) and we will pay for the excess of the doctor’s fee. Before we went to San Pedro Hospital (though I prefer Davao Doctor’s Hospital because their services is far better than the former), we went to the bank first to encash Ace’ check and proceeded to Pag-Ibig since it is only walking distance from the bank. Ace has to request to merge his Del Monte Fresh records and remittances to his current employer. The transaction was very quick so we were able to make it at the hospital by 3PM.

Planning to get a car? Nope. It is actually Ace’ big dream. It seems to be every man’s obsession…and some women too. But for me, it was never an object of my dream. I would rather want to have a flower farm than a car if I’d be given the chance to choose between the two. But with Ace, it was never erased from his wishlist snd is dreaming that BIG. Oh well, dreaming and wishing is totally FREE so he can dream as big as he can and if he’d be blessed enough to get his BIG dream, getting it is not the end of the process. To be sure that his priced possession will not give him a headache, a very comprehensive auto insurance is a must in which he needs to do an analytical comparison

Literally, I had one meal yesterday. I woke up really feeling bad and when I got out of the room to eat, I cannot take the smell of the food in the table. I don’t know but I want to throw up with the smell of sauted onion and garlic when in fact it’s one of my fave when I am cooking. At lunch, Ace was home to check on me but I hardly ate one spoonful of rice. I asked Che2x beforehand to fry the soup pack (chicken back) hoping that I could finally eat but I ended up munching a slice of the Goldilocks bread I asked her to buy in the mall the other day. I can’t understand what I am up to, or what I am feeling. I also don’t know what I wanted to eat until at last I want something salty.  I am craving for a steamed alugbati leaves (Malabar nightshage) dipped in fish paste so I sent Che2x to the store so I could eat dinner early. She went on store hopping but she went home without the Alugbati I am craving for. Hence she got some Kangkong (Water spinach) tops in the vacant lot outside the yard. I cooked Pork Binagoongan for their dinner while Che2x steamed my Kangkong.

Ace discovered something to spend his idle time….playing BOOKWORM! Yesterday, Dimple (my niece) introduced the said PC game to him. He started playing before we had our morning snacks and he only stopped playing late in the afternoon after Che2x asked for her turn in Dimple’s laptop to check her friendster account.

It’s nice to be sick because I am greeted with a sweet smile with “how do you feel?” every morning and when Ace arrives, aside from the calls he makes to check if I have eaten while he’s at work. It’s more than a week since I am sick and I thought I’m already fine and can do the laundry. I washed Ace’ uniforms and 1 pair of pants earlier that made me catch my breath. So, I still can’t do the laundry but I need to wash Ace’ uniforms. I might as well wash a piece or two everyday. How about the others? Oh, let them wait until I’m totally fine so I can deal with all of them. As much as I wanted to wash everything, I’m afraid I might end up in total bed rest again so it’s easier to do a piece or two a day and I hope I’d be able to do everything next week. What’s important is Ace’ uniform and other working clothes. How I wish Puto and Maya could wash clothes so I could let them do the laundry for a while. When I’m totally fine, my chores have piled up and it’s again for another general cleaning. What pissed me off everytime is the dust around here. I don’t know where it came from. We’re not just beside a busy road but the dust seemed to accumulate so fast. Dusting around isn’t a great idea with this as I have tried it many times. I guess a vacuum cleaner is best works for this and have found one of the Electrolux vacuums that really fit for our need. I wish we could save some moolah for it.
