Happy Weekend!!!

No, I am not losing count of the day. I know it is only Thursday today. So why am I greeting all of you a happy weekend already when we still have a day worth of work tomorrow, you may ask? Because we are having our weekend a day earlier and we will be going out of town! Woot woot!!!!

I told you in my first post of the year that my cousin will be coming over for just two weeks. He is already here. His vacation is almost over already and we have not had the time to really show him around. He spent his days going to the mall with his long-distance girlfriend. So now, it is our turn to bond with him.

We will be having our weekend in Tagaytay. Thankfully, Alex is now fever-free, after two days of having slight fever. (When it is time for our review for her exams, she becomes feverish. Weird eh?) Else, I would really beg off from the trip because Alex’s health condition is more important. So yeah, Thank You, Lord!!!! The girls are so looking forward to this trip. Maxyn keeps saying yes when asked if she wants to ride a horse. She even explains to Ate Alex that it is a horse, not a carabao as if her sister does not know the animals. Smart kids!

On the other hand, we, the adults, are looking forward to that cable car and zip line ride. I have ridden a cable car back then but the zip line, this will be my first time. I am so excited and nervous at the same time! Actually, a psychic once told me to conquer my fears. I am not really afraid of heights but I always fear that falling feeling. Maybe this is what she meant.

Oh, I got to go now! I need to pick up Alex in a bit and our clothes are not yet packed! We are heading to my mom’s place tonight for tomorrow’s trip and we are not yet ready! Happy weekend, everyone!!!!!

Crunch Time Again

And just as what I expected, it is PERIODICAL EXAMS time after the holidays.

Hindi pa nga ako nakakahinga from all the pagod kakagala nung holidays, eto at may bisita na naman kami. I really want to spend time pa naman with this cousin kasi two weeks lang siya dito. Promise Kevin, we will make the most of what time we have. Istorbo kasi masyado ang exams!

So there, I will be missing in action again. Bear with me. I have tons of posts in my and please pray for me that I will not forget them.

Bring It On 2013!

My body is already aching and the bed is waiting but I must do this post first before hitting the sack.

I never thought, not in my wildest dreams, that we will be greeting 2013 with a flight and engagement. This is probably the most unusual way of us celebrating the new year. My sister, Toni, is now back abroad after her two weeks vacation. She flew in just to spend the holidays with us. She had to take the January 1 flight because she already has work today and that there are no more cheaper flights. Still, lucky for her that she can do that. My younger brother who also left us to work abroad had to spend his first Christmas away from us because he is bound by contract and it will be too costly if he comes home within that. I must admit talking to him via Skype during Christmas and New Year made me teary eye. Thank goodness our call did not have to last too long because he is also busy.

My uncle flew in also before 2012 ends to mend his love life. He and his girlfriend already had plans of getting married last December but planning did not pushed through as they had this problem with each other. My uncle wanted to come home right then and there at that time but people around him made him realize the consequences of his action. Well, they did not get married last year but they will be this year. This is for sure already. My mom told Toni to already schedule her next flight because she will be a part of my uncle’s entourage. She just left and now, she was already told to come home. Cute, right!
