The hubby started the day off in a rush. A lovely tour around the Lopez museum, a heart thumping basketball game of two teams of the Marist Alumni (the hubby’s team being the winning one) and a get together with some old friends from high school.

zipline

Erwin and Jeff are aboard the zipline of People’s Park in Tagaytay City. I was not feeling very adventurous during that time, like there is a time I was ever! Haha! It was a good day to enjoy the cool breeze of the city. Our friend Ana who just came home from Singapore a week ago, is soon to leave again on Thursday and we wanted to spend time with her while she’s here.

The original plan was to drive up to Baguio first thing Monday morning and go back home by Wednesday. But because there were unexpected things that happened, like the hubby getting sick, there was no way we were going to do a Suburban extended stay hotel, even if we wanted to. Tagaytay is one place we will always choose to go to whenever we would love to get away from the heat of the Metro. More photos in the upcoming posts.

‘In marriage, there comes a time that a couple’s schedule often is too predictable that you almost can tell what time of the day you will get to bond with your partner. Predictability is not bad. In fact a lot of people I know are wired towards it. But every normal human being, regardless of his type of personality, can make use of spontaneity one time or another.

It has been a stressful time for the hubs. Coming home from camp with an oozing 40 degree Celsius temp until the following day is not really the coolest. He thinks he needs to unwind and get some rest. Our dear friend Ana wants a quick Baguio getaway but talked her  out to switch it to a closer but as breezy destination, Tagaytay. There are plenty of things lined up for us to do this week and a day trip is what we can afford for now.

gettogether.jpg

Last weekend was made more special when a couple of my very close friends in middle school came over to our place – with their respective families in tow. It was actually a follow up on the recent get together we had last December in Eastwood. Lorna’s birthday this month was a neat excuse for us to yet again meet.  We really made sure we took advantage of the long holidays. Read the rest of this entry »

It has been a while since I last did some photo hunting. When I checked back with Tnchick.com and saw the most recent theme, I knew I cannot pass this one up and there is no better shot for me to post than this. Read the rest of this entry »

Tomorrow is one of our dear friend’s birthday. I am going to load up tonight and give her a call. She left for SG almost a year ago.  The last time she was here was last May and won’t be back until October of this year. The little time that we spent with her in a condo hotel when she was here was just not enough. Happy birthday Ana! We love you and our prayers are with you despite our distance. You always bloom wherever the Lord plants you and we have always been proud of you. God bless you more! :D

It was late last week when I received an SMS from a friend who attends our mother church.  Her news got me stunned and I literally had to stop awhile before everything settled in.  She was asking for prayers even as the result of the needle biopsy done on her came back positive.

She’s only but 44 years old, a single mother and working every chance she gets to survive life as it is.  Then came this.  I am equally amazed as to how well she is coping.  Her faith is doing her wonders, even the doctors are fascinated by how well she is taking everything in.  She came by our place yesterday to ask for help to compose a letter that she will send to her friends and relatives.  Please go visit the blog I got set up for her at Debbie’s Battle with Cancer and read her story. I just got one post up. The diagnosis reports: ultrasound, MRI and biopsy are still to be scanned. I’m also going to have it go live for proof. The hubby and I are making ourselves available in whatever possible way we can to help this dear friend who we have known since forever in church.  May the Lord richly provide for everything that she would need from now that she’s doing laboratory tests to next week that she’s going to undergo surgery, then chemotherapy or radiation to recuperation.

We are asking for your support, prayers and otherwise for Debbie Marie Agbulos-Lopez, who is currently diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer.  Send your emails via dmagbulos@gmail.com.  There is no way she will be able to afford all the treatment she needs.The doctor prohibited her from continuing with her job and she has to prepare for intensive medical procedures.

As usual, this is going to be an almost wordless one.  Our dinner was a treat from “the man” himself, Neil of Neilmaranan.com.Thanks, Neil!  This guy is ultra generous with more than just sharing what he knows about internet marketing. Even while we were still classmates back in CPE, he threw such a grand bash when he turned 21 ;-) Which reminds me, Neil, you’re soon to turn another year older in less than a couple of months.  San tayo?! Beside Neil is Nonette and the ever famous Mhel of Marikenya.com right there in the middle and beside me is Rizza of Experiencenexpress.blogspot.com.

The hubby and our little guy joined us after dinner at Starbucks.  I only got to snap just a single group shot.  The guys got a little too busy discussing business,  I tend to move away when things get technical. lol!  I leave it to the hubby to take care of those stuff.  I’m fine with just blogging, thank you. :-) Thanks so much guys for being such great friends!  Hope there will be a repeat, besides we weren’t really able to discuss much about the Salamyaan stuff, right? ;-)

This is our son’s latest preoccupation. The starter kit was a gift from his Tita Ninang Rose for his birthday. From his love for all sorts of cars, he now have his eye for trains. His first train ride fascinated him and would point to it and refer to it as “a real train,” every time we would ride past them whenever we go places.

 

I remember when we were once in a mall in Cubao, he saw the road leading to the train station, he practically dragged the hubby and me towards the station and wanted to go for a ride! Back home he could spend hours on end rearranging his train tracks and watch Thomas and his friend, Percy with the chocolate factory go around. Throwing in his collection of farm animals and cattle supplies toys to the set and have it match with the windmill, might just be a great idea. It’s fun seeing him get creative as he incorporates his makeshift buildings from his toy blocks. Read the rest of this entry »

It was great to reconnect with an old friend again. Yesterday, one of my best buddies from middle school text messaged me to ask about some former job I had. She said she hopes to land another job this coming week. I am also glad to hear that her mom did not suffer from Lasik complications from her recent eye surgery and she is now in fact cruising along with her latest craze, her very own sari-sari store. I’m so glad her mom does not have to work abroad to earn a living anymore. She owes it to herself to retire and settle in her own home. This dear friend and I proceeded to talk about some silly things from our past, it made me smile despite the physical pain I feel here and there.

My wife, Jennie, has been in the hospital since Friday. This was a decision made because of her fever that wouldn’t go away for days. Giving her paracetamol couldn’t stop the fever so it was hard to manage. So we decided, with the doctor’s advice to get her to the hospital. I hope that today would be our last day here at Medical City. I’ll update readers out there later on about her condition. So for the entrecard droppers, my wife asked me to write this post to apologize for not being able to drop back for now. We thank you for understanding.
