The Journey. It’s Mine. [My personal take on love, life, parenting and blogging.]

…but raine didn’t even notice.

I flew to Manila via the very early morning flight on Sunday. Raine was still sound asleep.

I got back this morning at 6 am (took the 9-hour bus ride from turbina) and Raine was still sound asleep.

When he got here at 9 am, he thought I was just in the city house all along, doing some work.

He just realized that I’ve been far away behind his back when he saw the boxes of products I brought home. Products that I need to sell right away.

Ang bilis mo mommy ah…may wings ka ba?

He he he. I wish Raine. I really wish I have.

I wish I’m a stone. I wish my heart is a stone.

So I don’t feel anything.

So I don’t get hurt.

So I don’t get affected by anything. AT ALL.

In short, I wanna be a freaking robot!

First time ever I saw your face

I wish Raine will do that in the future…

…I’d be standing up the whole time.

Finally i have a group of moms in Raine’s school. After lunch time today, I hanged out with them for an-hour-and-a-half.

You know…just talking about life and parenting in general. Almost 3 months later and I finally belong.

It’s good hanging out with other moms. For one, you’ll finally find out that you are not alone. Today I found out that there are other kids worse than Raine. I mean mas malikot at makulit. Mahirap gisingin sa umaga. Maarte sa ulam, etc, etc.

I feel so relieved!

Besides, I need to hang out with others aged waaayyy over 6 (or 7).

Whatdoyouthink?

Last night I finished my extra raket and submitted it all.

As of today I’ve got 6 blogs posts remaining to be done and I have until August 31.

6 blog posts in 6 days?? Good stat. Not bad at all.

Meanwhile…since Saturday evening I’ve been doing our laundry.  The day’s used clothes, I wash them at night on the kitchen sink. Not heavy at all. Except for the tiny holes (courtesy of Tide detergent) on my skin…one can hardly notice I’ve been doing some extra chores.

Besides, beautiful hands are hands that work. Right?

…and Raine is moving in slow mo.

I’ve been up since 505 am (i slept around 120 am)!

5 more articles to go and I’m done.

That’s probably going to be a new television set or an aircon. (I’m leaning towards the aircon while Raine wants the TV)

so don’t na lang?

pagod na ako.

kaya don’t na lang.

Starting at 1130 this morning, brownout na sa barrio. A few minutes before 1 pm, I’m back here in the house in the city. I need to work. Then I got distracted browsing my FB friends’ photos!

I thought I’d blog first. My problogs are down.

What’s with today?? Mu-mu ni Ninoy?! He he he.

Right now? I gotta go home. Mommy duty calls!

Since tomorrow is a holiday, we’ll be enjoying a long weekend.

However, I’ve got 11 long articles to be written.

Deadline is on Monday.

I probably won’t go home with Raine later this afternoon. I’m thinking of going home tonight so I can still catch Only You at home. Then I come back tomorrow to work. Then again on Saturday.

It’s okay if I can’t have sleep marathons this weekend, as long as the price is right. He he he.

May seminar pala recently si JAZA.

Di man lang nag-post ng video nung seminar, kundi mp3 lang ang meron!

Nagtipid nga sila.

Sana hindi.

At sana di nakatulog ang mga nakinig ng seminar. He he.

JAZA could be President you know!

Watch this.

That’s Lea Salonga in a British talk show.

She’s actually speaking with a BRITISH ACCENT!!!

August 21, 2009 is Ninoy Aquino Day and has been declared a Special Non-Working Holiday by the Philippine Government. That’s on Friday. Yes, this coming Friday.

Now we can make-up for the recently short weekend!

Wow.  2 more days to go and  we’ll be home. I can’t wait!

Just caught my breath right now. Raine is in bed. Quiet. I have done the dishes and have ironed Raine’s uniforms. Our weekend was cut short due to Saturday morning’s exam at Raine’s school.

Next PTA meeting?? I will sugggest that if exams run through Saturday, there shouldn’t be any class on the Monday following it. The kids aren’t rested yet. So are the parents.

I will suggest that together with no parent should hang out the whole day at the waiting area. Most moms there abuse the purpose of the waiting area. Two of them actually have pillows and sleep on the bench. Ok fine…they are from a faraway town.  But should they really make the waiting area their halfway home? Most importantly: don’t they have anything else to do in between school hours?

Maybe not!

But that is not an excuse to hang out and sleep on the bench the whole day.

Well…tomorrow is another day.

This morning is Raine’s last day of exam. We go home afterwards (after 1030 am). I can’t wait to go home so I can sleep in my bed.

Our weekend is in effect shortened. Tomorrow afternoon we come back here in preparation for Monday’s class. Raine is raring to go home as well!

It’s just about an hour now…and we’re outta here.

People tend to focus on the person and not what the person is saying.

That’s when personal attacks happen.

Sigh.

When will we ever learn?
