Away from the hustle and bustle Parenting is tiring yet fulfilling. I like being a dad but taking a break for a little while ain't bad right? I miss relaxing and thinking about nothing. Like I just sit here in front of the ocean and enjoy the whistling sound of the wind as my hair goes on with it. Ugghhh! A beach, by the shore or everywhere being close to nature and in peace is heaven for me. Back then when I was still single, I used to be here after my class. I don't know…
Corned beef How are you friends? I know you are sick of hearing these words from me but I will ask for an apology again and again for being inactive. It's been almost 2 months since the typhoon happened and we still don't have electricity and good internet connection as well. I guess my two months will be boring if Clea was not here with us. But I believe you understand me and I am thankful for your support all the time. I have never had this support system in my life like…
Too excited for the ride Wow! I am happy when I opened my account because Rusty and you my friends have something for me. It's just so amazing that even I seldom read articles this month, I still have something and I still have you guys. I miss clearing my notifications and I miss reaching out to you all. I promise to make it up when everything in here is okay especially the service providers. It's okay for me if the electricity is not yet fixed but please bring back the…
She knows how to pray Isn't she adorable? I mean how can you resist that cute little one praying and saying something to God. I am amazed by how Clea learned how to pray. Her grandma would hold her hands and get them close together. She does that everyday and I guess that's why Clea did not forget it that she would likely clasp her hands together. And not just that, she will also make an angelic face while staring at you. That's why I can't resist her cute face. I want to…
I cried popcorn At last! Success! I joined the ride for a cause wearing complete gears. I cried popcorn when I was still there in the area where the event happened. I am happy that I saw myself with the other professional riders. I felt that I really belong because I wear the same as what they wear. It really feels nice when you are one with the crowd. Sometimes, I want to stand out but this thing is different. I don't want to look different just like before when I just wore…
House and lot as a gift. I asked my girlfriend what does she likes for a gift. She then smirked and think of something for a minute. I expected her to say flowers, teddy bears, chocolates and any cosmetic stuffs. I was shocked when she said a house a lot - a big, fat house and lot and then she gave me an evil smile then left. Wow! A house and lot would be perfect but I cannot give it for now. I total everything in my pocket but all I can give her is a rice cooker. But, shall…
Blessings and more blessings I can't believe that I am already here for 6 months. Wow! Time have flown so fast that I did not notice it's almost March. I can still remember New Year's Eve but now we are going to the third month of the year. It's good anyway because I m too excited for Clea's first birthday lol. Am I too excited for her to grow? Well it's because I can't wait for her to be with me when I go for a ride. I also love to teach her how to drive a motorbike so she…
But I will miss her I am stuck between choosing to pursue my studies and work abroad or to stay here with my family and work near from there. My little family is my everything and I want to be with them all the time. However, I can't be like this forever especially that Clea's needs are growing as she is too. I am the man in the family and I have biggest responsibility which is to provide what my family needs. I have a job as ceiling installer but it's contractual. After the…
How often do you go to church? We all have different religions and having this difference greatly affect our perception on what we believe is right or wrong. But even with this difference, we are still united and treat each other here as brothers and sisters and I think that's because of the respect that we have. Accepting each other's differences is a different level of respect. Without it, I don't think we would have the peace and order that we are enjoying now. **What's…
What my baby use We bought baby products that we know are safe for our daughter. Some of the products especially Clea's medicines, vitamins and milk were also advised by her pediatrician and the rest are on us. I am not saying that these baby stuffs suit your baby because I know that it might not. Us, parents can determine if our baby is okay with this and that and it can vary to other babies. Since I have nothing in my mind today, let me just share what my baby use. This is…
Food tastes better when shared Since I and my girlfriend were together, our road trips will also end to food trips. I am not fond of eating snacks before because I prefer eating heavy meals but now I am loving to eat snacks for my partner likes it too and she would let me taste everything she buys. I guess our trip will not be complete without eating street foods, ice cream, and barbecue. When we go travel to have an internet connection, she would not forget her favorite…
See you! Thank God Clea is okay now. She did not have a fever this afternoon and she's playful again. We did not had enough sleep last night because we keep on monitoring her temperature. Her highest body temperature yesterday went up to 37.8°C and her mom panicked again as always. Are all moms like that? It does not mean that I don't care about my daughter when she's sick. I am worried too but I don't panic because I know it won't help. I stay calm and pray to God instead…
The songs I used to sing Living without an electricity for more than two months make me miss having it. Before, I didn't appreciate the importance of electricity because it is always there. Sometimes, I abuse using it as well like I will turn on the T.V. just to have background noises while I am doing something in my phone. I also don't unplugged my cellphone charger after charging my phone. Sometimes, I forgot to turn off the lights in my room. These are some of the things…
