We have Halloween Trick-or-Treat event in our village for a about three years and this year we didn’t participate because, well they held it yesterday, the 30th, which wasn’t a holiday so no one will take care of giving the kids the treats. Anyway, we wouldn’t want the kids to miss out on all the fun so we took them trick or treating earlier today at The Block. We didn’t buy costumes this year because the kids didn’t want to wear one. So we just dressed them up nicely and bought those little devil horns with lights. It was fast, I think they were done trick or treating in about an hour and they didn’t get much treats but they were really happy. After that, we just ate dinner at Aristocrat (my older nephew really likes their chicken barbecue) then headed home. It was really tiring but it was fun! Next year, my sister promised to be more prepared and I’m really looking forward to it.
Sorry guys if I haven’t updated here regularly and if I haven’t visited your blogs. I’ve been nursing a very bad headache for a number of days now. I’m guessing it is because of lack of sleep. Since my nephew’s nanny went home to the province, my sleeping pattern has changed and I haven’t been getting enough sleep or my sleep has always been disturbed. And when that happens, I’m sure to get a headache foe the rest of the day. And I’ve noticed lately that just a little walk makes my head ache and sometimes I even feel dizzy. But yesterday I slept for a long time and when I woke up my headache was gone so I guess I’m making progress. I do a have a slight headache today but I’m hoping that sleep will make it go away.
Almost all acquaintances or people who hasn’t seen me for a long time. tell me that I look pale. I guess my housemates can’t tell the difference because they see me everyday. I know I’m not feeling well and that something may be wrong with me. But I’m afraid to have check-up… actually I’m not afraid to find out that I’m seriously ill (with cancer or something), what I’m afraid of is that I’m sick because I’m obese. Weird huh? Maybe it has got something to do with pride or ego, I don’t know.
By the way, I have a new freebie list up on my Paper-Free Scrapbooking blog. Click here.
Thanks to all who stopped by! I really appreciate it!
Never thought I’d have a blog post title like that. Everyone knows about the Glorietta blast last Friday right? I’m at home that day and my nephew got home early from school. He entered my room and told me to watch the news because there was a blast in Glorietta and my dad asked us to call my sister to see if she’s okay. I was like “Why? She should be in the office and not the mall.” True enough, she and her officemate went to Glorietta for lunch. They had just crossed from Glorietta to Landmark when they heard the blast and when she looked back, she saw the bridgeway shake. Having no idea what it was all about, my sister was more concerned with her officemate because she was already in her 50s and was already panicking and running around with the crowd. My sister had to chase her and to lead her out of the crowd cause she’s afraid that her officemate might have a heart attack or something. Thank God they got back to their office safely and unharmed!
Last Sunday, my tito and my cousin came to visit my tita who just got back from the states. We all had lunch at their house but she wasn’t able to entertain us because she wasn’t feeling well. She had a fever and she said that she feels that her body is heavy so she thought that she’s coming down with a flu. The next day, Monday, she just stayed home and told my mom that she’s still not feeling well and that she can’t eat, so she just kept drinking her medicine. On Wednesday morning, around 3 a.m., my sister sensed that I was still awake so she knocked on my bedroom and told me that my tita was brought to the hospital. She and my uncle were already sleeping when she felt that she couldn’t move any part of her body. She was trying to wake up my uncle but couldn’t, good thing my uncle heard her making weird noises and checked up on her. She saw her lying on the bed, her eyes are wide open but she was not moving. So she called my other tita, who also lives in the same village (we all do), and brought her to the hospital. The doctor said that her blood sugar was low and drinking medicine on an empty stomach made the situation worse. My tita told us that while at the hospital, she could hear everything that’s going on around her but she couldn’t move. And then she saw Nanay (her mom, my grandma, who passed away more than 10 years ago) asking her to go with her. She told Nanay not this time and that’s when she regained consciousness. She really thought that she was going to die already. It was really scary! She’s still in the hospital right now because she still has fever but the doctor said that everything’s okay now.
So that’s just half of my week. I just hope that the rest of it will be uneventful. Have a safe week everyone!
When the daylight’s gone and you’re on your own And you need a friend just to be around I will comfort you, I will take your hand And I’ll pull you through, I will understand
And you know that I’ll be at your side, there’s no need to worry Together we’ll survive through the haste and hurry I’ll be at your side if you feel like you’re alone And you’ve nowhere to turn, I’ll be at your side
If life’s standing still and your soul’s confused And you cannot find what road to choose If you make mistakes you can’t let me down I will still believe, I will turn around
And you know that I’ll be at your side, there’s no need to worry Together we’ll survive through the haste and hurry I’ll be at your side if you feel like you’re alone And you’ve nowhere to turn, I’ll be at your side
I’ll be at your side, I’ll be at your side

This week’s song is a tribute to my very good friend Carl. This is his song for me. I remember one time he fetched me at Robinson’s Galleria and when I got inside the car he noticed that I was quiet. So he turned on the radio and played this song and sang it to me. I was teary eyed but I didn’t show it to him. I think I was sad because my other good friend Dave, who was kinda his rival, was leaving for the US and it was despedida that night. I really hate goodbyes so instead of going to Dave’s despedida, I just made up an excuse and went to Makati with Carl. Bad ko no? But I knew it was better that way. Carl on the other hand really tried to cheer me up. We went to Rockwell in Makati, had dinner at Holland’s Sausages and just hang around. I think I changed my mind a few times but Carl decided for me and told me not to go anymore. So I just called Dave and said my goodbyes to him on the phone. I was really trying my best not to cry but my voice was cracking up a little so I had to make our conversation quick. It was really sad and that’s when I really appreciated Carl after what has happened between us. See, Carl and I had a huge fight over something really petty and I ended up hanging out with a different set of friends (Dave and co.). So anyway, hope you’ll like this song.
By the way, Carl’s birthday was last week, October 19. Belated happy birthday Carl!!!
Nita gave me this award and I’m so touched! Thanks Nita! In return, I’m giving this award to all my online friends, especially the digiscrapping bebots, who’s always been there for me. Thanks guys and know that you’re always appreciated!
Hi guys! Sorry I had been missing in action again. It’s been a busy couple of weeks for me especially at home. First, our maid already left to continue her studies so I had to help with some household chores, but her cousin is now working for us as one of the kids’ nanny. Then my aunt and uncle came home from the SF and after a couple of days my brother-in-law left for the States. After about three days, one of the nannies went home to her province for a 4-day vacation and will be back tomorrow morning. I took care of the kids for two days because the other is still new and still couldn’t handle the two kids.
I didn’t have much time in front of the computer and I really do have to catch up with my CT obligations and my work. Hope I’ll have more time this week. I also have to free up some space in my hard drive to be able to work smoothly. I also promise to catch up with my blogs so expect more from me this week.
Remember that piano So delightful unusual That classic sensation Sentimental confusion
Used to say I like Chopin Love me now and again
Rainy days never say goodbye To desire when we are together Rainy days growing in your eyes Tell me where’s my way
Imagine your face In a sunshine reflection A vision of blue skies Forever distractions

Here’s an oldie but goodie. It’s one of my favorite songs from the 80s. And since it’s been raining these days, I think this song is perfect. Hope you’ll like the song for this week.
