Kids Are Sick























Nat was having a sign of colds, cough and fever a day before his birthday.
It is just unfortunate that he always has medical issues during his birthday. Last year, was the same thing.
He is just so unlucky with his special day. It has been five days since he has been feeling unwell.
Sush is already on its third day. And her birthday is coming soon too.
Lord have mercy.

Nat Turned Six With A Fever Again

 










Just like last year, Nat is having his birthday with a fever. It is his second day of not feeling his best. TEMPRA is not even that effective anymore. If he has been well, I planned to just celebrate at a restaurant, but this time around, I planned not to take him anywhere since M is not around too. It will be difficult with me. Besides, Sush is showing a sign of having the same issues on her first day. 

But we had a simple dinner at home. With my sister C and her two children.

Life continues.

Free Toothbrush From Public School

 





One of the advantages of sending your child to a public school is receiving items for free from the Government.

Today, Nat received his free blue toothbrush. Which he liked since BLUE is his favorite color. 

Thank you, school. Thank you, DEP ED.

Nat- My Kid Scout

 












And just like that…

In a blink of an eye, I already have a kid scout. And a soon-to-be three-year-old who’s frequent request is to also go to school ðŸ˜‰
Soon Sushi, soon. ðŸ˜˜

Happy Birthday Gina and Lucille!

 

We have two colleagues celebrating their birthday this month.

Gina is assigned to keep the things and the building orderly.
Lucille is assigned at Impact.
November 6 is their birthday, so we celebrate with a cake at the office.
Lucille's cake came, a day early, and Nat was able to enjoy some slice of it.

While Gina was given on the exact day of her birthday and we agreed that she can take it home with her, for her family. 









Happy Birthday Gina and Lucille! :)

Pumpkin Basket Is Here

 



We worried about not finding a basket that Sush can use for the trick and treat at Ibex.
Thankfully, my sister have two pumpkin baskets for his sons.
I borrowed one and she agreed.
And Sushi is happy ;)

United Nations Costume For Nat










Weeks ago, Nat's teacher has informed all of us through the group chat that Japan costume is needed for the United Nation's Day celebration.

Though a specific date was not yet established, we were informed to be prepared. Nat is only in Kindergarten but there seems to be a lot of fuss for the need on UN costume. I remember, during my elementary years, we never had a UN event that requires this much preparation.

I checked the malls for possible costume. Gladly, I have read from the teacher that if costume will be a problem, then they can just wear anything white with a shade of red in it.

So I let Nat wear a white shorts and a white T-shirt that has a little red design. And I quickly prepared the flag of Japan.

Thanks to Marj, she helped me. 

When we arrived at school, the parade has started but thankfully we were still able to join :)

Costume problem solved :)


Halloween 2024

 





My little witch Sushmita wanted to join the trick and treat tomorrow at M's workplace at Ibex.

But she has no basket for her goodies yet ;) I hope some Mama would let us borrow hers.

My Sweet Sushmita

 




On the way to work, M shared to me that Sush always wanted her to pick me up from work at 5pm.

Sush always said that she misses me.

And once, Sush mentioned that she wanted her to buy a PINK flower. When she asked why, Sush said she wanted to give to Mama.

This sweet little girl knows how to make me happy :)

Grandpa's Passing


 

Grandpa P passed away for a suspected cardiac arrest. He suddenly fell after standing from the bed at night. 

M's sisters rushed him to the hospital but he was already DOA. 

It was Sushi's first heartbreak from the family.  How we wish we can let you see Sush growing up, but sadly, it was not meant to be :'(

Rest in peace, Tatay!

Bingag Beach - Near Hinagdanan Cave, Close To Home ~


                                                         always happy at the beach

                                                                looking for shells? :)

                                                                    peaceful 

 

 natural 

                                                                       playful

        

 

 There is no excuse not to enjoy the beach if I really wanted to. We are just ten minutes walk to this place, in our village. But this is closer to the Hinagdanan Cave. 

Be careful when going here during rainy season as the pavement can be slippery.  Over all, when watching them closely, kids are just safe. Better if they also use beach shoes for safety on their feet :)

Can't Go Anywhere On a Sunday

We are supposed to go to church today.

Unfortunately, Sush has fever, Nat has accidental burn on his left arm from what happened at my work place.



I asked Sush to open her mouth so I can see what causes her discomfort. And because I want to play Doctor myself, I guess Sush has Herpangina (if google pic is enough for me to diagnose).






To add discomfort, my period is here to annoy me. 

I can't seem to force going there or I might have to deal with an irate and screaming children. 

So we just have to be at home and hopefully recover from all these discomforts.

Amarah Elise's First Birthday ~

 











We were invited for an exciting night of celebration for Amarah Elise's first birthday party (September 17). So the kids were included in the invitation, thanks to Brenda's generous heart.

Children were given Jollibee foods, their favorite, with spaghetti and chicken.

While most of us adults were enjoying the dishes, lechon and sweets. Amarah's birthday was held at Seafront Sepo Grill & Restaurant at V. Inting Avenue, Tagbilaran City. It was our first time to grace the place. It was held on a dinner time, so we were not able to grace the beach-front area.

Maybe next time.

We are again grateful for Amarah's parents for the invitation. The kids were happy. :)
