Z and His Bible
Not only once did I catch him all alone scanning the children’s Bible. I’m so happy he’s taking an interest as he’ll surely learn a lot of valuable lessons there.
Alone at Sunday School at Last
Finally, after two years since we first introduced him to the concept of Sunday school Z finally relented and attended it without a single tear. Thanks to my hubby for all the effort in teaching him everyday about the stories in the Bible that Z finally saw how important it is for him to attend Sunday School and not tag along with Mommy and Daddy at grownup church.

Missing in Action
I have declined so many invitations from my high school friends that I’m really so embarrassed already. When Z had his baptism they all showed up for support but I hadn’t repaid the favor and missed all their important occasions. They are now settling down one-by-one and having their own children’s baptism but I have missed all of those too. I’m really such a bad friend. 
If only Las Pinas was close to our home but it’s really far from us. I can’t go there alone without dragging my little one and my husband but it’s hard to drag them with me. Hubby is already tired from work and I can’t expect him to drive me all the way there. Now this March they’re again planning to go to the beach but I have to say no again. My dad already invited us already to go to the beach and there won’t be enough time for another. Did I tell you I’m such a bad friend?
Late Night Scare
I have been working like mad the past few days that I realized I haven’t even looked at the mirror for days anymore. So just imagine how surprised I was when glancing at the mirror this morning and I saw a huge, HUGE pimple! Eeek!
At my age I should have been over pimples by now but I’ll be blaming my unforgiving schedule for this breakout. It’s too early to try out acne solutions because it’s just one pimple – albeit a huge one but I think it’s about time to go to the derma for a facial. All this work is making my face really oily, my body is experiencing aches and pains I haven’t experienced before. Even last night gave me a scare! I was madly rushing to finish my file so I can pass it on time for its 12 midnight deadline. It was an extra file that I took aside from the one I have finished the day earlier so I was really, really tired at that point. Suddenly, my hands refused to type anymore from sheer exhaustion. I was panicking because I had to finish it whatever happens. My mind was willing and very much active but my hands took a life on its own and wanted to give up. I had to force myself to lie down but didn’t close my eyes for fear that when I open them it’ll be morning already and I would be late for my deadline. So I was a forced myself to take a rest for 15 minutes and then I got up and resumed typing. It happened again just as I was about to finish so I had to lie down and rest again for a second time.
Anyway, I’m so glad that was over and next time I would think twice before I get an extra file from my job. The pay is good but my hands are more valuable!
Ube Ice Cream
Hubby surprised us with ice cream last Monday. Our eyes opened wide when we saw the ube ice cream flavor. If you’re leaving in my country then you’ll know how hot it is these days so any ice cream flavor is welcome in our home. Everyone dug into it – even little Z who rarely eats the food we eat must have his own cup of ice cream. In a flash only half was left which we promptly finished off the very next day much to S’s consternation. LOL!
I wish we can eat ice cream everyday but we must show restraint or else we’ll be shopping for diabetic socks soon. I heard they’re good for keeping feet comfortable for diabetics. I wonder if my FIL wears these socks because he’s a diabetic too. Oh well, you know now why I’m already paranoid after just eating ice cream. Diabetes runs in S’s family and I don’t want him to get it too.
So ice cream you were good while you lasted but that’s it for now.
Looking forward to eating you again next month though. LOL!
