The May Celebrants

They say those who are born in May has an intelligent mind and can adapt well to new situations. As one of the celebrant, we also think big, dynamic and more logical than emotional. Three in our family including me shared the same birth month. I am the first one who celebrated my birthday last May 10, followed by my grandson Andrei on the 22nd and my daughter in law Lheen on the 23rd. First on our birthday wish is of course good health and safety for the family and this COVID 19 will be over soon...

My Birthday Treats

I am glad that my birthday and mother's day is on the same day this year. I just had a very simple celebration because of the enhanced community quarantine. I also help in my own little way the frontliners by giving them food packs. We also give free mineral water, gave snacks to garbage collectors, security guards and elderly.

Sharing is Caring for the frontliners and others, many thanks to my children and grandkids for making this possible....

Happy Moms Day

Yesterday is mother's day honoring all mothers and my birthday as well. Because of the lockdown, i just have a simple celebration at home and distributed food packs to my friends. I'm really touch with the birthday surprise of my daughters and very thankful for their unending love and support. My birthday wish is always good health and protection for my family.

Life in an ECQ

Next week the enhanced community quarantine will be lifted and as they said the new normal will take place. Whatever it is whether modified or simplified, one thing is sure, life is not the same as before. The lockdown teaches us a lot of valuable lessons and we learned to appreciate little things. In the Bachmann household, wearing of facemask inside and outside is a must. Dirk also tried to walk to get some fresh air after two months of just being inside the house.I know there will be a lot of changes and of course there will be a New US and ME. We will be adopting some lifestyle changes in foods and activities. We will be more careful with our health since we both have medical conditions. With our new journey, i know God is going to protect us in the new normal life....

By the way, my daughter Aiza is on the road to recovery after her arm operation. It will take time to resume to her usual activities but she's slowly getting better...

Cha-Cha's Birthday

Our Charing turns a year older last May 3 and she is now 11 years old. Time flies very fast since we have her and our lives changed a lot. Thanks to my daughters Astrid and Buddy for bringing her into the family. She became the apple of our eyes and since she is now older, my daughter Arianne and her husband is just giving her the best possible care.

The Birds

Before the lockdown, we are living in a past paced moving world but with this Covid 19, it suddenly comes to a halt. We appreciate more our family members and the things/nature around us. We come across some things that should be done inside the house and realized decluttering is very important. While cleaning our terrace, my attention was glued on the family of birds while resting in our roof. They just tend to this little one who is comfortably nesting between parentbirds. Its nice to look at them and only separated when its time for the adult birds to look for foods for their baby bird.

Kim's Birthday

Though its a late post, i just wanted to share to you that my grandson Kim in Canada turned a year older and he is now of legal age. Its a new journey for him and my birthday wish for him is to be more loving, caring, responsible, respectful and God fearing son to everyone. He now have his driving license and driving his own car. May he continue to be a good grandson and may the Lord always protects him everyday. Happy birthday again Kim and enjoy your legal stature by finishing a degree and make your mom proud of you. By the way, because of Covid 19, they just have a simple celebrations at home.
