I Got Mail

I was getting ready to head out for work yesterday when the door bell rang. Before I open the door I sneak in the window of bedroom upstairs to check who was ringing the door bell I saw a truck from DHL. I hurriedly open the door and there was the courier guy from DHL bringing my package from my sister Ethel from Davao. I was so excited to open the pouch thinking there might be a letter attached to it. I opened the pouch and not even a short note was on it :(. I already knew what was she sending before I got the pouch. It was all legal documents that I need to sign and my other sisters in the US has to sign too.


Anyways, I just have to phone her to let her know I got the mail. I have to send this documents to my sisters and they can send it back home to be notarized.

Not Feeling Good

I am not feeling good today. I think I have my PMS, I am having menstral cramps. I just want to relax don't feel like doing any household chores. I hope I get better soon for I still lots of chores to do.

Anyone has hemorroid problems? That is what I am having right now for the first time. I have been constipated for days now it is the reason my hemorroid is swollen. It feels very uncomfortable that I don't like to stand and sit for a long period of time. It is just nice to lay in bed. I hope the medication will be working soon.

I am glad that I am off from work today while I got all these aches. Hoping and praying to God these aches will leave me away.

Pimples Gone

Anyone having pimples? It has been awhile I didn't have any pimples on my face. I just notice I have one on my leftside of my forehead and another one on my left chin. They just both started to swell and they are painful too. I guess nobody wants to have pimples. I might be stress or it is part of my PMS.


My sister gave my Pro Active and I always use them everytime I get a pimple. Pro Active is really effective for me. Once I put the Pro Active repairing lotion the pimple doesn't even have the chance to grow.

Hope these pimples heal soon.

Belated Happy Valentines

Sorry for the delayed Valentine Greeting. Todd and I didn't spend much on buying Valentine gifts. We went for dinner and he gave me a card at 12 midnight. I felt bad for I was not able to buy one for him. For us everyday is a Valentine, gifts are nice but we have other priorities that needs to be done.

We still had a good celebration of the occassion. We are looking forward on saving for the house needs some repairs and upgrading. We need to replace the shingles of the roof and replace the carpets. It will be done one at a time for they can be expensive. It is best to save the money first rather than charging it.


Hope you have a great celebration of your Valentines.

Family Day with Friends

Today is the family day holiday here in Canada but it was not applicable to all workers. I invited my friends to come over for dinner. I prepared dinugguan, breaded shrimp, calamare, pancit palabok and grilled milkfish. I made some bucayo(sweetened young coconut strips) and my friend brought a blueberry cheesecake.


We had a sumptous dinner. I am happy that they all like the food that I cook. It is nice to eat Filipino dishes. I like to cook but I don't feel like eating after when I am alone. "Mas lami kung daghan ang mo kaon inig human ug luto. It was nice to be with company of friends around.


Friends thank you for coming. Sa uulitin.

System Error

When I arrived to work today I was surprise most of the representatives were just outside of the production floor. It was because we had some issues with our systems. Some were able to take calls and continue with the work and others were not. When I log in to my computer there I find out that my system was also down. I was just waiting for it to come back on. After 3 hours it did come back but not for everybody and I was one of them. I don't know what was the error. I felt so bored waiting and waiting for it to came back so that I can work. Around ten to six I ask my supervisor what will I do, they just said to wait. I feel bad for most of them were already busy taking calls and there I am just sitting pretty doing nothing. I approached her again around seven o'clock and she told me that I can either stay or go home it won't go against my attendance. I just decided to go home and enjoy my evening. It would have been nice to stay and get paid without doing anything but I am also bothered by my conscience. Anyway, the rest of us that the system didn't work were also sent home.

I got home early tonight, I will just make up my hours tomorrow. Hopefully everything will be back to business.

Toe & Finger Nail Painting

While I was still in the Philippines I love to go to the parlor to have my nails done. Since I got here in Canada never had tried to go a nail salon for I find it costly. Back home If my manicurist is not available I don't go to anybody for I always get swollen toe nails after cleaning. I did learn to do it on my own. Early tonight I busy painting my nails after I cleaned them. I just love the color I put on they are very dark. It is just too bad I can't wear sandals to show them off for it is too cold to wear sandals for now.

My finger nails are not that long but I still like it. I love my own, lol. "Lingaw lingaw lang ni nako gud pa wala sa ka la-ay." (just taking time to enjoy painting my nails to get out of boredom)

Ground Hog Day

Groundhog Day is an annual holiday celebrated on February 2[1] in the United States and Canada on which if a groundhog emerges from its burrow and fails to see its shadow because the weather is cloudy, winter will soon end. If on the other hand, it is sunny and the groundhog sees its shadow, the groundhog will supposedly retreat into its burrow, and winter will continue for six more weeks.[2

February 2 will be Ground Hog Day. Todd is very anxious to know what they gonna find out tomorrow for ground hog day. He is just hoping for a few more weeks of winter and to be done with it. He is already tired and had enough of this cold weather.

Will there will be six more weeks of Winter?

Telebabad with my Sister

I had the chance to talk with my elder sister from the Philippines last night. It has been awhile that I haven't spoken with her. She had some good news and bad news as well. I am just glad that she is enjoying with her work now after our Mom passed away.

I hope my niece is feeling better now after having bronchitis. She was admitted for 5 days in the hospital. My nephew also had an accident while on the way of buying some fishes for his aquarium. He got 8 stitches on top on his eye. The Dr. said he was lucky that it was not his eyes that were prick from the wire clothes line. It have cause blindness, thanks God he was spare from that.

My sister was happy and thankful that I sent something for her. I told her to send something to my niece for her birthday. I promised to myself to work harder do more overtime so that I can share my blessings even though its not that much. It is the thought that counts anyways.

Misty and Joel's Annual Shots

Last January 28, 2009, Misty and Joel had to go for their annual rabies shots. We were both up early to bring them to the vet's clinic. Upon seeing their registration papers we thought that Joel is 10 years old but we were incorrect. Joel was born in 1997 so he is now 12 years old going 13 by July 17.


We got some good news for both them with regards to their health. We were happy to know that Joel's heart murmur is still on the same level. His lungs are not filled with fluids. Last June he had a slip disc glad that it went back to normal but it is just his eyes that are glarey might affect his vision it is due to old age too. The vet said his legs are doing good too. Over all he is pretty healthy. On the other hand, Misty, is also doing good though her weight is a little over than normal. Her heart murmur stayed at level 1 same as last year. She had a loose tooth which the vet just pulled it, we thought she would cry but she didn't have any discomfort.

It is very expensive to have their teeth cleaned but the vet just suggested to give them denta stix. They just need to chew something hard to get rid of the tartar.

These dogs maybe costly but for Todd they are very precious. I like them too but when I think about dogs in the Philippines they are not taken care that much same as they do here. Don't get me wrong these dogs are really a good company. Todd would say that after these two dogs we won't get another one for they can be costly.

Diary Update

It has been awhile since I made my last posting for my blog. This to keep you an update of what had transpired in my life lately. For the past weeks I have been busy working. I have been doing overtime at work for they require it. We were busy on the past fews of January trying to catch up on everything. At times I get lazy of coming to work specially on a snowy weather but I managed not to be absent. I am just thankful I am still working for a lot of companies have laid off their employees and have cut back the hours.

I have been busy doing my crochet during my free time. Right now the project I am making is a cluster of shells I made it into a throw blanket. It is good to use it during the winter season. With regards to our weather winter is still here we had few snow storms for the past weeks. In fact there is another snow storm coming on Monday or Tuesday of next week as per weather network but hopefully things will change.

It has been three Saturdays now that we are busy helping Todd's aunt cleaning the house of his late aunt. She passed away last year since she has no kids then her sister is handling all her properties.

I am hoping to create another blog with all my crochet and knitting finished projects.
