Zoe and I went to a birthday party. It was Jamaika's 7th birthday. Zoe is one of the 7 balloons. The theme was Frozen and the birthday celebrant was dressed as Elsa. When I was a child we don't really celebrate birthdays or have a cake because we don't have money for it. What I mean celebrate a birthday with a party but now not just the 18th birthday that has 18 roses, 18 candles and many others but the 7th birthday too. Zoe is 8 now. We didn't celebrate her 7th birthday with program and a party because it was the time of the lockdown due to pandemic. We have a reason not to have a party and spend money for it. Hehehe instead just a simple snack with her playmates only.
We have a beautiful weather today. Summer is approaching now. Next month is supposedly the closing of school but due to some circumstances due to pandemic it's not gonna happened again. In the old days we will be planning to have a week vacation to my cousin's place in Kalibo near the beach. We really missed it. I'm still afraid to travel with Zoe especially that she's not vaccinated yet. Maybe after everything is settled with my mom me, Zoe, my sister and her son Xander can have a relaxing vacation in Boracay. They would love it.
Hello my beautiful noisemates! Good afternoon and have a wonderful day.
Zoe love to use gel pen on her drawings in her hand. It was sent to her by her late grandma. We received the box November last year. My mom didn't see it when we open it because she's already in a bad condition that time and she died December. My mom has been supportive of Zoe's hobbies. As she knows that she's into drawing she sent her staffs that she can use. She had sent her some art crafts in the previous boxes. Here are some examples of her art.
Good afternoon noisemates! Hope you are healthy and safe.
If I need something for my content all I do is go out in the garden and look for a subject. As I'm observing my surroundings I saw my mom's plant blooming with a pink lovely bouquet like flower. At a closer look, as I'm taking a snap I saw a little friend on it chilling in one of the little flower.
Good day noisemates! Just got home from the town. Went to Zoe's school to pass and retrieve the modules. We also went to church to asked permission to do some beautification of my father's resting place and to put one for my mom. Lastly we stopped by Zoe's favorite bee Jollibee for some food.
Taken yesterday while buying a pork barbecue, chicken inasal and Zoe's hotdog for our dinner. We were beside the road as I'm taking some snap. Zoe told me "mommy, seriously? Taking pictures here?". She's embarrassed because there are other people buying and cars passing by. Hahaha!
Hello my dear noisemates! Good morning and it's Tuesday. It's market day in our town. Most of the people especially those in the far places of the town went to buy everything they need for a week and its salary day for those who work in the farm. Have a wonderful day ahead. God bless....
Our simple breakfast requested by Zoe. Tuna pasta with toasted bread, coffee for me and milk for Zoe. It's Monday again. A brand new week and back to work for most of us.
Good morning everyone!
Good morning my dear noisemates! What's up for today? Me after our breakfast we will go to the cemetery to talk to the caretaker of the works we want to do on my father's place and we will build for my mom. We're getting ready for my mom's home coming with my sister and her son.
Here's some of the flowers I snap. It's not from our garden though. Hehehe...the first one is from the church and the rest are my aunt's garden.
Have a good day everyone!
Good morning my beautiful noisemates! Just woke up in a beautiful dream. I meet my mom just now I was hugging and kissing her. I told her I love you nanay. I miss you! She's happy laughing at me and teasing me. Giving me an expression look that's telling me "really?". All I was doing is hugging and kissing her. Telling her over and over that I love and missed her. Then I told her let's take some pictures together. Hahaha I don't know why my phone is like that in my dream. She said "nice cellphone", (even it's a keypad old model phone).😆 I'm so happy that I got to hold her again even it's just a dream.
Hope everyone is happy and healthy. God bless us all!
#ThrowbackThursday!
Thank you my sweet Zoe for this Valentine's card with a money on it. I will used it to buy your favorite Jollibee tomorrow. Hehehe... I'm so blessed to have you in my life. It may just the two of us now without your grandma but we will be okay. I love you so much. Feeling love and blessed. Happy Valentine's day to all!
Two months had passed and it feels like it's just a bad dream. I still can't believe that my mom is not here with us and she's with our Creator now. I really missed you nanay. I made this Valentine's greeting three years ago. It's from our memory in the other platform. Can't wait for you guys to come home. We love you nanay.
Before I'm saying my goodnight here's my sunset today. I also want to share that I had a dream a couple of days ago. I saw my mom and she just arrived from the city. I went to her and she give me her clothes to be burnt because of Covid I think. It looks like she changed her clothes as soon as she arrives and asked me to burn the one that she used going to the city. I don't know why I didn't hug and kisses her in that moment. It was a brief encounter. Oh I really missed her maybe that's why I dreamed of her. Well, that's all for me today. I will see you later as soon as I wakes up. Goodnight everyone!
Zoe's edit on Polish app. Do we look pretty? Just finished cleaning Yam2's 💩. As we woke up we saw 4 of them... a bad girl. Need more training but I let her poop outside before we go into the house last night. I also finished mopping the floor and it feels good to get sweaty sometimes. I think I feel much better.
Have a good day noisemates!
Happy blessed Sunday morning. I just woke up early and I'm getting my little solar lights to change them in the sun. I used some inside the house and they're the one lighting the house inside and out until morning comes. Then I saw the sky and took some shots to share with you. Today I feel better. Not totally okay but much better than yesterday. No more fever. I hope I will have an appetite to eat now.
I hope everyone is doing okay. Stay safe and healthy noisemates!
Good morning noisemates! Zoe had a fever for 2 days, headache and a cough. She can't eat it because she's vomiting too. I'm monitoring her and making her fever go down. Buy her some oranges, medicine and cool fever. Continue wiping her with cold water and make her drink more water. Thanks God yesterday until now her fever is gone but as I woke up today I think I'll be having a cough too.
This was taken a couple of days ago. It was a beautiful sunny day but for a reason it started raining. It's just a shower rain and a double rainbow appeared. We were in the garden with Bella the adorable sweet cutie puppy. I'm starting to clean the lawn by cutting the bermuda grass manually. Me and my cousin are planning to cut some of the trees as we started planting just the side of the property to make it more clean looking and not like a forest front yard. When my mom was still alive and battling cancer she told us that we can't cut them up as long as she's alive. We are not cutting them because she's gone now but we just want it trimmed. We will cut it so that it will grow branches and its not that tall. She planted those trees for us and her grandchildren to have some fruits and trees to climbed.
Hello everyone! May those rainbow will give you hope that everything will be okay. What ever struggles you are facing today there's hope for a better tomorrow. As the song says "there's a rainbow after the rain".
Meet the youngest member of the family. Zoe's little sister Bella. She came to us 3 days ago. Our neighbor went to the house and asked me if I want to adopted her. She's 2 months old. I don't really know her exact birth date but we decided to make it November 26 on Zoe's birthday. Zoe is very happy. She's adorably cute and she loves us. But we have to train her to pee and poop. Hahaha...
I was on YouTube listening to a story titled " Secretly Married to a Billionaire". It's a channel that reads a pocketbook story. I didn't notice the time and it's almost 1 in the morning. It's time to say goodnight to all of you. I'll see you later. Here's a beautiful moon and sky I captured a week or two.
The pink plant is owned by my mom's cousin. We went to the town to do some errands and dropped by their house. I went to the upper floor where their little garden is and took some photos.
Hello noisemates! Good morning/good afternoon/good evening/ good night!
The photo was taken in our church yesterday. Just wanna flex the new ceiling and chandelier. My mom donated for the beautification of the church even though she's already sick and we're paying for her monthly hospital bills. Though it's not that big the point is that she always give everytime she knew that their is something to be done in the church or for the good of the community. She always extend help. She even donated her clothes during some typhoon last 2020 even she's not here in the Philippines. God bless her beautiful soul.
Yesterday after we went to Zoe's school because she had a reading assessment we passed by the plaza and I took the first photo. After that we went back to the church office if it's already open from their noon break. We had mass intention this morning for my mom's 40th day. A zoom meeting at 9am with my relatives abroad especially from different parts of US, Canada and from Manila which is in the second photo. At around 11am we had a prayer in our house with my mom's friends, some of our relatives and neighbors in the third photo. I had a very tiring day and I'm already sleepy. I need to rest now and tomorrow is the burial of my cousin's husband. Good night noisemates. I will see you tomorrow if I have time. Love you all!
Taken before we went to Zoe's moving up program with my mom. We really missed nanay so much. It's gonna be her 40th day tomorrow since she died. I'm so busy today. I'm right here outside the church office waiting to open for a mass intention for my mom, dad, aunt, cousin and my cousin's husband. Then we will go to Zoe's school because it's her schedule for reading assessment.
How are you noisemates?
#ThrowbackThursday
Good morning noisemates! Zoe and I are going to get her eyeglasses today. We're on the way now to Passi City and it's a bit rainy today. I hope you guys are doing okay. Good afternoon and good evening my other friends from around the globe.
Here's a wild flower I snap just next to our lot.
What a beautiful day today. Such a wonderful sky and clouds. My nephew is tested negative from Covid and thanks God for that. I will go to the town again today as I want to eat something delicious like pork liempo and pizza. I have to buy some stuffs too.
Have a great day noisemates! Stay safe and healthy. Always remember to spread love, positivity, kindness and compassion. God bless.
Me, Zoe, my cousin at the far back and our neighbor waiting for my mom's arrival from her vacation. I can't really remember how old is Zoe that time but isn't she cute? Until now we're still waiting for my sister to bring nanay home. My sister and I always talk how and when can they bring our mom home. Covid cases are getting high again all over the world. We can't really tell when because of the situation.
Hello my dear noisemates I hope everything is good. Be safe and healthy. Always follow the safety protocols.
#ThrowbackThursday
Zoe and I love to eat lanzones or also known as langsat. We can eat a kilo or two. It's a tropical fruit that contains numerous health benefits. I just found out that it comes from a family of mahogany plant. It's a little sweet and a bitter taste because of the seed.
Hello noisemates! How's your FT? Cannot be active that much because of that reason too. Be safe everyone!
We visited my father at the cemetery last December 30 on his birthday and our next project is to put a fence like/chair around the lot including the vacant where we will put a box like tomb to put my mom's ashes. We will beautify the area. One of our childhood friend said she's going to send a money for it. My mom had helped her when she's still studying nursing and now she's in US working. Do you guys believe in good karma?
I'm still busy helping my cousin. I had to go to Zoe's school this morning and then get some money to give as a down payment for my cousin's husband funeral. I'm getting little FT now so I can't really visit everyday and as often as I want to. Have a blessed new week everyone!
At last I'm here writing something to post. We are so busy because my cousin's husband died last Thursday. They live in our property at the back side of our house. They have their own little house there. They're my mom's companion when I was still working in Manila so we're helping them. Tomorrow I have to clean the house because their two children and their families will be staying at our house because their house is not that big and some people will be going in and out to visit so they need a place to rest especially the children. Maybe some of our relatives in my father's side from Kalibo will come especially my cousin's siblings. We are just preparing right now and arranging my cousin's house before her husband's arrival from the funeral homes.
I'm leaving you guys with my sunrise this morning. I was planning to post it immediately after I took it but I forgot as I got busy calling my sister and helping out. I hope everything is doing will with you guys. Stay safe and healthy as the Covid cases is going up again.
Taken the morning of the Hirinugyaw-Suguidadonay celebration when Zoe is just a year old. We're preparing to go and we put some kind of sticker to our face and I put some on Zoe that looks like a mustache. My mom and I can't stop laughing and then later on i put it over her eyebrows that looks like hilarious and people keep on staring. 😂 One of our fun memory together. We missed you nanay.
#ThrowbackThursday
Zoe with some of her cousins. So many of our relatives didn't join the Christmas party because of Covid. It is supposed to be a family tradition to bring the family closer. To the next generation to know each other and to be close to each other. But most of our relatives are now living in other places and abroad. They can't go back to their home town because of restrictions. Usually relatives from abroad will have their vacation during December because it's more fun in the Philippines especially in this time of the year. It's like the Fernandez clan's family reunion.
One of the games on the Christmas party of the Fernandez clan. Zoe's turn to shoot the tiny ball on the plastic cup placed in the end of the table with different amount of money on it. She missed it though but she joined other games too. We all enjoyed playing some games and here's the money Zoe got from the games and some are given by her grandmas and godparents. Zoe said she's rich now. Hahaha children!
