It has been awhile that I haven’t talked about nor taken a picture of our house, where bulk of my blog money went into at that time when blogging money was at a sky high and we’ve been struck by several typhoons. There was no choice but to build and reconstruct.

We’ve been living at the said house even though it isn’t fully polished yet. Different storms struck us, the boys went back to school and Raine started the big school. The American Recession came and blog money went into a plunge. We had to tighten our belts. Besides, we just gotta eat and send the boys to school.

Miracles happen. After a series of trainings and loans my seaman brother is now a 3rd mate. That wasn’t easy, my mother has to suffer no allotment for six months. Angels came into our lives and helped us survive the trying times. We paid the loans (some we are still paying, but we’re getting there) and tighten our belts some more.

I got sick. Twice in two years. One of the twins graduated. With two diplomas: the college diploma and a pregnant girlfriend. We got mad. I got madder. Now we are loving the baby girl so much. She’s now four months old and smiles and giggles a lot when talked to. She’s a lot like me. Buy one take one and ngiti. He he.

Next month the other twin is graduating (another seaman). I’m crossing my finger that’s there not going to be a pregnant girlfriend together with his college diploma.  Else, I’ll be running amok. Tadtarin ko sya! Grrr.

Anyways…3rd mate’s probation is over and my mother received her first month’s allotment yesterday. Yey! happy times are here. But here’s the clincher: my brother has sent money for the house construction as well. He will do it every month while he’s on board his ship.

Soon enough we’ll be shopping for floor tiles. Woohoo! I can’t wait. ;)
