Oh dear me...my hands are full!

Eversince I came back here, I have yet to see myself lying in my bed, laxing...idling and enjoying reading my fave books. Bought some in Japan. But that is yet to happen. Been busy giving the house a thorough once over...sighhhhhhhh! Doing this and that...wanting to procrastinate but I couldn't do it due to my voluminous concerns here and there. Good thing since my Japan sojourn, one thing I hate doing is to expose myself outside with the glaring  heat of the sun. OMG, everyone here is complaining about the scorching heat, and we aren't exempted of course. So I was forced to buy a new air-conditioning unit. Then the problem lies on how much electrical consumption will be added in our monthly. Well anyway, that's better than die of exhaustion and heat-stroke. I want to stay longer...for people who I love dearly.

Last Saturday... Arvin forced me to stop doing my chores and tagged me along the oval...where we once lived, our fave jogging area. Went there to have a breather...and just have fun...goofing and telling each stories.While Arvin was so busy shooting photos of me and Leana, some kid came to watch us goofing with Arvin's Canon Eos. They watched us until it's over.

It was fun fun fun afternoon.


A lil more dieting! ;)
Jump, jump!
Goofing mode!

Fun time in Hyougo...

Here in Japan we celebrate Golden Week. So we have this rare chance to get a lot of time going out together. And one of our skeds gave us the opportunity to visit a long time friend of my daughter Aya...Janice who lives in Hyougo now with her hub Jeff and their new bundle of joy...Juri. So we grabbed the chance visiting them last Saturday and Sunday (May 6-7). Hyougo is 282 kms drive from our location so we woke up early at 4am...all prepared and by 5am sharp we rolled off. Just made some quick stop at McDo for our take-out breakfast and a lot of stop to peeh and took some pictures whenever we got the chance. We passed a lot of tunnels and the scene of lush mountains or yama were splendid and jaw-dropping. We then arrived at Janice' house after some reconnoitering. We were served pinoy nilaga with steamed rice and pork adobo with liver , and stir-fry pancit. We enjoyed fully playing with little Juri who is just barely on his 2nd month but he is already cooing and smiling. She's so cute and adorable. Then by Sunday morning we readied ourselves and went straight to The Awagi World Park together with Janice only in tug, since the baby is yet to get his vaccines, it curtails Janice to bring Juri outside lest he catches some infections.

At World Park we laughed a lot and felt like we were children when we saw these spots where some fairy tales are...like Little Red Riding Hood, Tinker Bell, Jack and the beanstalk...the witch, the Three Little Pigs...and so on...and many playground equipments to enjoy.

Night stroll...



It's hot and humidity's up that night...kaya lumabas kami...sa OL sana but it was too risky naman going up to Antipolo na, so we decided to take a night stroll at Riverbanks. When we got there...mahangin-hangin nga but I noticed the smell emanating from the creek (?) t'was a bit of a smell siguro dahil sa basura or sa amoy ng tubig ...hehe... but I enjoyed naman looking at the school of janitor swarming on the shoaling river. A small boat (?) was left tied on one post of the gangplank was full of plastic garbage. If only people would realize how these plastics could worsen the fish habitat...sigh...those tapon dito and tapon doon habit of some who have this who-cares attitudes. I saw the difference when I saw how Japanese preserve and love their own country. Well, we then sauntered the whole place and we ended up eating at the grilling area ala Dampa style. The kids enjoyed eating grilled pusit and tilapia, with free slices of green mango and fried talong with delicious bagoong. The price was good enough but I didn't enjoy walking on uncemented ground kasi maalikabok. As I was doing this post...grrr for these kids at my back...it's so hard pala working with a crowd of young people badmouthing!. This cafe can hold up to15 people mostly young boys who are so engrossed playing internet games and wala akong marinig kungdi...s#it, tang### mo, bakla, #uc# y##, ha### ka!...grrrr...sarap balatan ng mga batang ito. I just hope they could hear their own voices...buti na lang di ganito mga anak ko!
Going back at the Riverbanks, I sat on the edge of the stairs near the bank...and puffed a cigarette to allay my gas pain. I just felt bloated from eating too much. Then we went straight home and I made myself a hot steaming coffee.
We seldom go out since magastos. Dahil malapit na ang vacation...naglambing lang ang mga bata na lumabas kami. Nice time bonding! It's real nice when kasundo mo ang mga anak mo just like I do. I always see to it na maging open ang aming communication. We also have had some conflicting ideas pero still we are okey...para lang kaming magkakabarkada...and with these young people... I am keeping up pa rin!

Taking some time off!

We watched last screening of SUNDO last night at Sta Lu. Wheew! Minsan nakakatakot din manood ng movie with all those horrible way of deaths na maayos din nagawa ni Direk Topel Lee. When I texted my son at nagpapasundo ako dahil mahirap ng magcommute. Hehe...my dau blurted, mama sundo?! Oo nga naman...I refused pati to use the word sundo. Totoo nga kaya yun, well...kasi my sister who was then in her dying moments some years back due to big C...was telling us na may mga visitors daw sa loob ng room niya. When my elder sister asked who they were...she told us na yung mga deceased relatives namin with our parents who also passed away. She could also describe the dresses they were wearing during that visit daw. That time she was already having a hard time communicating with us but the fact was she was still matino pa with all her senses still working inspite of the agony she was having that time. Sometimes one would asked if those things were true. Who knows?
Last last week also, we watched TAKEN and thats my kind of movie to watch. The story is also superb and one couldn't miss the scene not even by winking. I love it! But what is important ay ang bonding naming magnanay. Sarap pag ganung moment...

Slushy avocado...


Was reading James Patterson's The Three Blind Mice, in my bed when bunso gave me a mug of avocado slush...wow ang sarap...may libre pang kiss...mwaahh! Sarap makipagbonding sa mga kids. They will always love you...and they treat me just like an ate and not as a nanay.
