My grandma lost her footing about two weeks ago and sprained her right ankle. Because of her condition, coupled with her diabetes, she is finding it hard to walk for the past few days now. We had to buy her disposable diapers that she can use so as to avoid putting too much pressure on her sprained ankle. I am worried about her condition because the sprained ankle is okay, I mean it will heal right away. But the diabetes complicated the matter. I need to be able to bring her to the hospital to have her checked again. Sigh.

My aunt almost suffered a hear attack a couple of weeks ago. Too much stress caused by pressure at work and problems with my grandparents is the culprit. We were really sorry to hear about it because we love her so much. She is the type of person who will give everything for the family. During the so many tough times that my family endured, she was there to endure it as well. She is always there for each and every one in the family.
So now that I, together with a couple of my cousins, could afford to shell out some funds, we are thinking of sending her, with her husband of course, to Silver Dollar City. She is a bit adventurous when she was still single. I feel that she will enjoy herself at Silver Dollar City, what with the over 30 rides and attractions as well as the amazing Marvel Cave… There is also crafting in the city. Pottery will give her a sense of balance and peace, I have tried it already.
If you want to know more about Silver Dollar City and what it can offer to you, just go to Branson Getaways and know more about Silver Dollar City and their other offerings.

My brother, James, is now officially a college student. Whew! Time flies so fast! I remember holding him when he was still a baby. I took care of him because my mom was suffering from post-partum syndrome or something. My dad was working abroad that time. I was in second year high school.
I love my brother to bits. When he was still a little kid, he used to sleep beside me. When I was still out, he’d really fight sleep to wait for me. Seeing him now, all grown up and even taller than all of us here in the house, well, I just couldn’t keep myself from crying. I am just so happy for him. Now, if I can only remember that he is asking me to buy an HDMI switch…

I will be off the whole day tomorrow with my siblings. It will be the start of school year by next week here in the Philippines and I want to be able to bring them somewhere and have some fun. We will watch The Chronicles of Narnia tomorrow and will probably shop for shoes for my brother James and some casual clothes for the two teachers in the family.
Since Hazel, our kulit at home, will not really enjoy the movie at her age, she and my dad will just follow us afterwards.
So the ec drops and bloghopping will have to wait until I get home at night 
Have fun everyone! Enjoy the 3-day holiday weekend

Warning: This is a longish post. This post contains an update on my latest Baguio trip and my Weekend Snapshot entry.
When I came back from Baguio, I still carried around that feeling of being on vacation. Ang hirap bumalik sa work mode hehe… So I just scheduled two posts and that’s it.
We went to Baguio last Friday, April 4 at around 3am. We were 21 persons in all. 3 aunts and 2 uncles from my father’s side of the family with their families. We went there because my dad have not seen Baguio yet and it was his 50th birthday last April 2nd. We stayed at Tiptop Vacation Homes located at Pacdal Road, Baguio City. It’s a bit far from downtown but I swear to you, the place is worth it! Php4,000 a night with a great view of the surroundings plus no charges for additional beds. Click here to see what the place looks like.
Ganyan kami karami hehe
When we went to Baguio, the temperature at night was 15 degrees. Brrr… Love the cold weather! We went to the usual tourist spots like Burnham Park (where the kids went boating and we had fun with bikes), Mines View Park, Wright Park, Strawberry Farm, Bell Church, Grotto. And then at night, we had barbecues and lots of laughs.

We have so many photos taken and you will see more of it in the coming Weekend Snapshot entries of mine. Below is my official entry for the Weekend Snapshot this week.
That’s the view from the terrace of the place we stayed at. I think that’s around 6 in the evening. I really recommend the place we stayed at. The owners are great. Very accommodating. You need only ask them and they will give it to you. The place is high so it’s much colder than when you’re downtown. And the house is very cozy and clean.
My family, relatives and I just love Baguio so much. A province and yet a city. You get the tranquility and peace of being in the province yet you still get the benefits of being in a city.
Have a great week everyone!

Ganon pala ang feeling, di mo pa anak naiiyak ka na kung malalayo ka ng ilang araw. Napapansin niyo siguro na laging bida si Hazel sa mga blogs ko. Hazel is our neighbor’s daughter. Malayong kamag-anak na bale. When my mom died 2 years ago, she was the new baby in the neighborhood. To ease the pain of losing my mom, kinukuha siya every morning ni daddy from her mom. Then kinuhang ninang yung youngest sis kong si Grace. After a while, nakasanayan na niyang dito sa amin at laging humahabol na kay daddy. Ayun, dito na talaga lumaki.
Siya yung balm sa pain namin of losing my mom. She made us laugh with her antics. She made our hearts melt with her smiles. She makes us think of happy thoughts just by hearing her name. Ganon siya kaimportante sa amin.
Kaya nga some of our relatives are questioning us why we’re lavishing her with so much attention, including shopping for her and financing her 2nd birthday… If someone or something makes you happy, do you really look at the price tag???
More than a week ago, her mom gave birth to a baby girl. Si Hazel kasi, feeling niya siya pa rin ang bunso sa kanila. Kaya ang ginawa, hinihila mom niya papunta sa kanya at ayaw patabihin sa baby. Eh ang dad naman niya gabi na sobra umuuwi from work kaya ang arrangement, for the meantime dito muna si Hazel sa bahay matutulog. Nung una hinahanap pa niya mom niya. Aba, after the 3rd day, wala na hehehe… Tabi sila natutulog ni daddy sa gabi. Panghele niya yung loud snores ni daddy hehe… Tapos for almost a week na, daily kaming umaalis ng sis kong si Vivian at lagi namin siyang kasama kasi ayaw paiwan. Laging bukambibig niya tsem-tsem. SM daw hehe…
Kanina tinitignan ko siya before I started writing this entry. Nakakalungkot pala kasi 4 days din namin siyang di makikita. Imagine, di ko pa anak yan. What more siguro kung anak mo na ano? Tapos mega lambing pa na sama siya. Hay… durog ang puso talaga!
