No Holy Week Getaway

In a couple of week’s time, Lenten Season will officially start with Ash Wednesday. As early as now,I have been bugging hubby about our Holy Week plans. The past years, we have been hitting the road and spending it in other places. We spent 2009 in Ilocos and 2011 in Pangasinan.

This year though, we are preparing for some big moves but we are still discerning and trying to realize what God really wants for us. With that, hubby decided that we are not travelling for Holy Week this year. He joked that we will just bring out the kiddie pools that we have and just rent a swimming pool pump if needed.

The big plans entail a lot of moolah and I clearly understand that it is our priority rather than travelling. So maybe, we will just have a simple swimming party here at home. Maybe some of the kids’ friends can even join us!

Intestinal Flu

Hello Everybody!

I know it is hump day already and it is almost weekend and I have not updated this blog. Well, we had a long weekend due to the Chinese New Year celebration, which translates to more family time, thus no lappy time for me.

Well we did not have all fun last weekend because my youngest has been throwing up after meals with soft/watery poop. Not only that, she does not pee much either! And she had high fever come Monday morning!

I texted our pediatrician before we had our long weekend about her pee and was told that it was ok. So we went with our weekend plans. Some failed and some succeeded. I will blog about that in another post. By Monday night she was already fever-free. But come Tuesday, she did not pee again for more than 8 hours! So we went to her pediatrician.

Bicycle for Kids

Since we entertained the thought of buying Alex her own bike, I kept telling her that she is so privileged. In my entire life, I never owned a bike.

I can remember when I was a child, my grandpa will bring us to Luneta Park where we will rent bikes, a single one and even the ones with side car. I and my siblings will bike all we want until it is time for us to go home. I am not sure if bicycle for rent are still available in that park now a days.

In my teenage years, we simply borrow the bike owned by one of our friends and we use it alternately, while playing with other things like jump rope, chinese garter, etc.

So when we were at the bicycle store last Saturday, I kept telling Alex to be a good girl. I told her our condition over and over again hoping she will remember them in her heart. I am so thankful and proud of my husband because he is very supportive of our kids and their wants. I hope we can keep up with it until our children are older and have more whims.

Let me share with you Alex’s video where she is already using the bike by herself. This was taken yesterday, two days after we bought the bike.
