I really want to go to the beach. Now! But budget constraints is stopping me. My brother is going to attend summer classes to catch up on his pre-requisites. He didn’t take up 3 Math subjects so this summer, he will take all three. He will be on his 3rd year in college this coming school year so that means he will be taking up his major by then. My savings are going to his tuition fund. Any excess goes to our daily expenses.
Sigh. Bahala na. Basta before the summer ends…

Hazel was sick for close to five days since Monday. She had fever and diarrhea. We went to her pedia and aside from the medicine, was advised to stop eating junk food. The thing is, we don’t really allow her to eat junk food. But when she goes out of the house, we don’t know what her folks are giving her. Hay.
The candies got to go. She’s been eating a lot of lollipops lately. And she’s on a soft diet for now. Poor girl’s craving for tempura but it has to wait.
She’s okay now but we’re giving it a few more days before she goes back to her normal diet.

You can really feel the summer heat now. All I want to do is take a bath and never leave the bathroom. My sisters and I am talking about going to the beach. It might be after the end of this school year because the two teachers in the family will be busy for the next few weeks. Plus the other accountant is also busy because of the tax and audit season.
My dad wants to go to Pangasinan again. My siblings don’t want to anymore. We’ve been there a couple of times during the past three years and for us, it’s enough. Our Tia Cely’s place is a tad too small for all of us. The barrio gets too dark by 6PM. There’s no sari-sari store nearby, you have to walk through a literally dark street before you can get there. The light is too malamlam (I don’t know the right term for this in English). The place has a general feel of being gloomy. Don’t get me wrong. Those times we stayed there were memorable ones for us. The company was good. We love our Tia Cely to bits! But to endure another night of gloom when we can just ask Tia Cely to come to Manila and join us elsewhere…
Anyway, I would love to go to Laiya, Batangas. My sisters are saying we go to Boracay. Bahala na. What I do know is that I need to go to the beach.

Hazel went to Pangasinan with her dad last December 28. They went there because her grandma wanted to see her and her siblings. So off she went to her dad’s province…
Notice how bubbly she looked? She’s excited and even had her things ready! Cute di ba? She had her little bag with her pa. They were supposed to go home the day after. But then they decided to extend for one more day. On her second night, her mom called us up to tell her that Hazel was crying really hard and was asking to be brought home. Home meant us. When my sister talked to her, she was sobbing her heart out. We thought she was just missing us but it turned out that she had a large wound and it was hurting so much! Her hand got stuck in the bike’s wheel without her dad knowing it. We were so worried! If Pangasinan is just near, we would have went and gotten her back that very night. Good thing they went home the next day. But it wasn’t until 11 in the evening that we saw her again. Looking like this…
Tell me, would you be happy to see your little girl looking like this? I was already sleeping when she arrived. My sister told me that the little girl couldn’t even stand on her own. She looked so weary. And she was so hungry! After eating, she was able to get up and asked to see her pet (Pancake in Pet Society hehe).
And yes, that’s the infamous bike wound! My sister said that it was obviously not cleaned when Hazel arrived. My dad got angry and scolded her parents. Sobra naman kasing pabaya! We are taking good care of her each and every single day. Three days with them and she went home looking like a 30-year-old stressed out girl with a big open wound to boot!

Hazel is into the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse for months now. She loves the song, the interactive episodes and Minnie Mouse! Tim asked me last Christmas what Hazel’s current fave and I told her that she just loves Minnie Mouse and when she sees her, she imitates the way she dances. Nakakatuwa! And when the show is on, you cannot take the remote control away from her! The hotdog dance needs to be finished before you can change channels. That’s how much she loves her Minnie, Mickey and Goofy!
Hehehe

Are you prepared for the coming May 2010 elections already? Do you have a presidential bet by now?
At home, we are not yet rooting for someone specifically. Although my dad’s rooting for Gibo Teodoro, my siblings and I are not yet convinced on who we’ll vote for. My dad’s convincing us to vote for Gibo. We would if it weren’t for the current president backing him up. Nakakatakot! We’re thinking of Noynoy Aquino but we’re not sure of his capacity to run the country. And his claim to fame is his parents. We don’t even know what he actually did the whole time he’s serving as a Congressman and now as a Senator. Ano nga ba? One of my sisters wants to vote for Dick Gordon. He’s okay but again, I doubt if he’s doing all this without someone backing him up, who in turn will benefit the most if he wins. Mahirap nang magsalita pero I’m sure tatay has a lot to say hehe
So who are you going to vote for?

Mababaw lang kaming pamilya talaga. In all honesty, even a trip to the mall can be a memorable one for us. Ganyan kami kababaw. For us kasi, as long as the family is complete, we’re fine with it. Just a lunch or dinner together, that’s something already.

We walked through the Eco Trail. Hazel was really brave, wanted to walk on her own. So we let her. She’s walking in front of me. When we got to the hanging bridge, she stopped a bit. I thought she’s looking through the wooden slats. She was indeed looking through the wooden slats while her knees were shaking! She was scared of the ravine below. We told her it’s nothing and that she wouldn’t fall. She walked a few steps but asked my dad to carry her.
When I looked down, it was my knees’ turn to start shaking! Hahaha

My family loves good food. We eat out from time to time. When we do eat out, we really make sure we go somewhere cozy and where we can indulge in the food we love.
We went to Josephine’s last December 26th. The place is still the same. I love the garden overlooking the Taal Lake. The only thing that’s changed is the food. It’s not as good as it used to be. I remember eating there before and the food was superb! Last 26th, I was not the only one who’s disappointed. We picked the place because they haven’t been there before. But the food was not what you’ll expect from such a grand place to eat.

I haven’t posted any holiday pictures yet. Here’s the first one in the series of posts I will do that will show the photos we’ve taken during the holiday season.
The above photo is the Belen or the Nativity Scene in Sto. Domingo Church last December. Ganda ano? Every year, the church puts up a belen and it’s entirely different year after year. It’s something most churchgoers look forward to every holiday season.
