I had the chance to bond with my eldest and youngest sister yesterday. Over our sumptuous lunch of pansit, lumpiang shanghai, pork barbeque and pichi pichi, we talked about updates on family issues. It was a nice feeling to be with them because i haven't seen them during the lockdown. I was amazed on how my sister Myra propagate succulent plants and its not only a hobby but now she's now earning from it. We also visited the dream house of Lhedbudz and its now in its finishing touches.
For the past days, me and dirk are experiencing lots of struggles in our health. Being a hypertensive is no joke because of the ups and downs in my blood pressure. I have to live with it and just control and watch the food i eat as much as possible. Dirk also had his problem with bladder, prostate and inability to pass stool. He had his prostate ultrasound yesterday and just waiting for the recommendations of his urologist. Anyway, this is already expected because of our pre existing conditions and it comes in our ageing process. I just always thank God everyday for the gift of new day and life.
My youngest grandaughter Aleona Mayamoore nicknamed Chamcham, celebrated her first birthday in Cabanatuan where they live. I want to hug and kiss her but they are far away and only get updates about her in facebook. Anyway, my son Anthony was there to celebrate with his first grandchile and my wish for her, is that may she grow to be a God fearing daughter with respect to her parents and elders. Time flies so fast, my first grandson is now a father. Happy birthday Cham2 and we love you, greetings from your family here in Laguna.
My gardener take advantage of the vacant lots and planted it with different vegetables. We are now enjoying the fruit of his labor and every time i need some veggies for my dishes, i just get it from my mini farm which is not mine. Of course everyone who wanted papaya, malunggay, etc. are free to get their shares.
While some of my grandchildren started their online class last august, others have their modular learning last week. I think its uncomfortable for them but they should continue studying even in this time of pandemic. I know they missed their classmates and the face to face class, but what is important right now is their health and safety....
Two of my grandchildren, Kieth and Daphne shared the same birthdate. Because of the pandemic, there's no grand celebration instead just a simple one with few friends and relatives. Kitkit wish is just to dine at his favorite Jolibee with friends and wish granted. While Daph chose a low key birthday celebration with her classmates at home. Anyway, happy birthday my apos and hope all your wishes come true, always remember Mamalola loves you big time.
As a way of giving thanks to our construction workers, we give them some food stuff to help them while waiting for their next job. Building a house during Covid 19 is no joke considering the stress and the emotional roller coaster that goes with it. But thanks GOD, HE really guide and help us during our journey.
Thanks also to my Angel car for carrying building materials to the construction site..
On another note, the balikbayan boxes containing canada goodies for sale finally arrived. This is a big help for my children as another source of income.
