Home Sweet Home

"There's no place like home." True enough, I had a good night sleep with my girls. And hopefully I can recover all the sleepless nights while I was away with them. I am still wondering how my life would be, now that I am near to them while at work. I really wish that I could take care of them hands on so that they will be near to me. My eldest didn't hug nor recognized me when she saw me arriving. How could that be? I hope someday, she will recognized me as her mom. I miss my girls so much.

MTOs

I have been sleeping late at night for several weeks. My face is like a mugshot with drooping eyebags. It's because I have been on overtime for MTO's. I need t0 finished it in advance ( it's a birthday souvenir on September) because my client have paid alo in advance.  I really like this kind of business transactions. Once they ordered, paid half and presto, the production will start!

Thank you for the orders, Ms Amy Jaquilmac. Hope you like them.

Orders are coming

I have been so busy since last week. I got orders from as far as Bukidnon. Whew! I showed her a sample and she likes it so much that she could not wait to have them for her son's 3rd birthday on September. I am so lucky that I got orders as early as this since I will be away from business for 3 months starting August.

Here's the sample of her orders.

When Tragedy Strikes Back

It has been a while since I post a blog. In fact, I don't even know how to write now, not even a paragraph. My mind is full of many things that I want to do them all at once. But I am just human and I know I need to do it one step at a time.

Tragedy happens. Anywhere. Everywhere. It so sad that it happened to my family. My uncle ( tatay's brother) died with tuberculosis. Yes, there is a medicine for that illness and even a free therapy from the government. Problem is, he is always negative in his sputum tests and no other way to get the medicines free but to buy. My tito is poor, his family, his living and even cannot afford to buy medicines. He was hospitalized for more than a week and our family took care of him. Until he needs to be transfered to their "home" because I am afraid my babies will get affected by his illness. I pity him. His children should be the one taking care of him and not my family. Then he finally laid to rest, 07 June. He died poorlessly.

A day before my uncle died, my Aunt ( nanay's sister) died also. Like my uncle, she died poor. Without a family of her own, no children, and no money. But I am sure she is very wealthy of love and spiritually. She died of her goiter complications. She has an untreated goiter and got complicated to her lungs.

My parents, upon knowing the deaths of their sister and brother, cannot even move to extend help because they do not have fare. How poor we are! Without any reservations, I sent the money which I have been saving for my babies' needs. "Bahala na." God will provide what I need, as long as I can extend help to them.

I managed to attend their burials. After the interment, I was really sick with Pneumonia again. I am into steroids just to get relief from severe cough and Urticaria. As I am writing this blog, my muscles are still shaking inside, and coughing. I need to work hard and earn for the loses. I know money is just around the corner if you look for it. I do not know when this tragedy be over. But I am hoping and I have faith that soon it will be over.

Alexa's 1st Birthday. She's already gaining weight and happy. Yummy mommy Ces is more happy and excited.

It's been a while since my last post. Alexa, my dearest little angel, got sick a week before her 1st birthday. My heart broke when the nurse stucked an IV in her left arm. She was really crying loud and developed trauma to male nurses. She lost 2 kilos from her 10-kilo weight, dehydrated and irritable because of diarrhea.
